I would like to make a join between two field in 2 different tables:
1.) Table with number field for Purchase Order number
2.) Table with text field for customers PO ref (where normally above PO number is entered)
When I link the both I get an error/warning message that the "types in the expression don't match"
Can anyone help me to overcome this problem ??
Thanks
I use Access as my grading program at school. Right now, if I want to excuse a student for an assignment, I delete that record.
What I would like to do is put an "X" or some other string into a field that is numeric and Access would ignore that score when computing the average.
A longshot, but I thought I would ask.
Thanks.
Hi All,
I have a field called PRICE and obviously it is a NUMERIC field as it need to perform calculations such as calculating Total Quantity * Price etc. At the moment the PRICE is inputted manually by the User on a Form and when it has no Price it is simple left blank.
What I wish to include is that on the REPORT when the field is empty it writes the text FOC instead of leaving it empty.
Can you please anyone suggest a way of doing this.
Thanks any help will be much appreciated :o
I have a field that is in text format that is used as a discussion box. This limits the user to 250 characters because of Access limitations. I have tried the memo format but that will not allow me to query off of that field. How can I have this discussion field with unlimited text capability and also be able to query off of it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a table that has several fields including CallID (autonumber) and SKU (text)
SKU can be anything up to 9 characters, sometimes numeric sometimes alphanumeric. For example: 24300, AA23145, G58d444, 24999, 89332,...
Based on the Count of CallID I can easily get the top20 calls on each SKU. This is the query I use for that:
Code:
SELECT TOP 20 Count(Calls.CallID) AS CountOfCallID, Calls.SKU
FROM Calls
GROUP BY Calls.SKU
HAVING ((Not (Calls.SKU) Is Null))
ORDER BY Count(Calls.CallID) DESC;
The problem is that now I have been asked to create two different lists. One that has the top 20 SKU that range from 24520 and 24599 and another one that does the res tof the SKUs.
Obviously my problem is that the SKU field is text, not numbers so I can't just limit the results in the query by using "Between 24520 and 24500" in the query criteria.
I have several combo box fields in a bound form where they are selecting values from a list (values stored in a separate table) and then loading a number into the bound table field when selected.
How can I put a text prompt in these fields when loading the form which gets removed when focused and of course is not permitted to attempt a save into the bound numeric fields? I've done quite a bit of searching but can only find materials about doing this on bound text fields. I've also seen solutions using Nz which don't seem to work.
I have developed a database but have had difficulty with sorting data within subform of a main form. The subform displays the related tasks that correspond with main form that has been selected. Within the main form I have also created a text field that defines a particular sorting sequence of the tasks found within the subform which is titled Task Sequence. What I would like to do, is use the Task Sequence field to sort the order of tasks within subform. I have tried: IIf([ID] Is Null, 0, Val([Task Sequence])) within the Advanced filter/sort but either it shows only the first task defined in the Task Sequence or it wants to filter the main form and not the subform.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a numeric field (long integer) in a table. I've set the format to fixed. No matter what I set the decimal places to, auto, 0 or 2, when I enter a value of 0.71, it displays as 1.00
In my form, I've also set the field property to fixed, but it displays the value as 1.
I am trying to do something that I would think is very simple but I'm having a hard time with it. I have a form that consists of questions that the user is needed to answer. It displays the question, a combobox where the User can select 'Yes' or 'No', and a textbox where the user can input their comments. What I would like to do it the following: if the user selects 'Yes' as an answer, I want the corresponding comments box to be required.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a text field having data i-e HO-1, HO,2, ACW-25 and so on. The field name is nBadge_num and is Unique. The data in this field is sorted automatically like 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...because this is the text field.
The number on the form is automatically generated, when the user type HO- for example on field exit event. The last number will generate like HO-5.
Code for automatic number generation is:
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset, Response
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max(Right([nBadge_Num],Len([nBadge_Num])-" & Len(Me.NBadge_Num) & ")) AS MaxNo " _
[Code]....
My problem is when the number is generated it give HO-5 instead of HO-14, How can I sort the numeric part of the field ?

Having built a table of customers, I need to have an automatically generated ID number for each that IS IN ORDER - which rules out Autonumber and it's gapping tendencies. So, I've developed a new CustID field and set it to "Number", and now just need to figure out how to get it to pull the previous entry and add "1" to it. So it would look like this:
CUSTID NAME
1 Bob
2 Fran
3 Phil

Guys, When I generate an excel sheet through vb.net code, I get a Numeric Field OVerflow when the values generated contain a date!
my database is ms access...
The problem is that each excel sheet generated has different columns, depending on what columns the user selects to view. for example: if the user chooses name, age and date, the date would appear on the 3rd column, if the user chooses name, nationality, age, family name, date, then the date would appear on the 5th column, etc.....
Does anyone know the way around this??
thanx!
I have a query that prompts with a parameter box for the field Contributor_ID. Contributor_ID is a numeric field & Key and I use it to allow the user to print a report based on which Contributor_ID value the user enters. This works fine. However, I would like the user to have the option to enter * and then have the report include ALL the contributor IDs. I have done this before on a text field without a problem, however is this not possible on a numeric field as it is not working? I'm trying not to have another version for the ALL option.
If this is not possible, are there any alternatives?
Hi,
I'm running an Append Query from an Excel <linked> file to a table in access. From what I can tell, the first filed is overflowing with a linked filed numeric of 'Double'. You can't change linked table fields. However when I first link the Excel file, the Append works... :D only when I reboot the PC and start the next day's work, do I get this message... :eek:
1. Should I include in my MACRO an import to a table and then append...? :mad:
2. Is there a trick in the append query I can use to prevent the error...? :rolleyes:
Thanks

I have been using a transferspreadsheet cmd for a while now in Access 2003, but when I recently split the database so that the table the import is going to is now linked rather than residing in the same mdb file, I get a numeric field overflow error. I manually made all the values in the import 0, converted it to text, but got the same error.
When I imported the table back into the file, rather than having it linked, the transfer worked fine.
Can you not run the transferspreadsheet command on a linked table or am I missing something?
how to control the numeric field range..e.g. number 00.01< and > 99.99...I am looking for some simply code under On Change() event...how I can restrict the field should only take input number no character or special characters.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a database I have worked on for the sister company of the place I am employed.I have a field I am trying to make alphanumeric that has been numeric. (PO Number on the main form). I had make it alphanumeric a couple of months ago, but it disabled the Edit Customer Information button on the bottom right of the form to where I cant enter shipping addresses and things like that. It should be able to enter multiple shipping addresses.
I need making the PO Number field button alphanumeric and making sure it doesnt mess-up the Edit Customer Information button. I have attached both versions of my database. The GM at the sister company would also like me to create a Spin button where you can take an old record and keep all of the previous information on it, except it gives it a new Work Order# and you can change the date to something newer.
Hello,
I want to comine the following queries into one so that I can alter the parameters from a webpage.
I have a users table that has the department in and I have a TimeTable Table which has dates and option codes.
I need to select everybody in a department in the example it's Logistics.
I then want to link these people to the timeTable Table based upon a field.
The problen is that I want to select only a specific week. I can do this using two queries but that isn't going to work in ASP.
The Results should be as follows:
Person Date Option
A
B 01/10/2005 1
B 02/10/2005 2
C 01/10/2005 1
The two Queries look as follows:
SELECT TimeTable.*
FROM TimeTable
WHERE (((TimeTable.Date)>=#10/24/2005# And (TimeTable.Date)<=#10/30/2005#));
The above is then saved as Query1
SELECT Users.*, Query1.*, Query1.TimeOfDay, Query1.Date
FROM Query1 RIGHT JOIN Users ON Query1.UserID = Users.ID
WHERE (((Users.Department)="Logistics"))
ORDER BY Users.Surname, Users.Firstname, Query1.TimeOfDay, Query1.Date;
Any help would be great!
Cheers,
Matt
When I'm trying to execute a query using agregate functions.
This error message occurs "Numeric Field Overflow".
The table is linked to text file.
Any idea?
Does anyone know the syntax to count the number of characters in a numeric field?
If not, how about counting the number of characters in a string?
