    Excel Forms - Combining 2 Fields into a Third

    Loomah I think I get what you're saying now. I ws trying to do this through the VBA form and not actually the form controls in Excel. I was hoping to keep it off the sheet and just execute via the VBA form and insert the end result back into the workbook.

    Excel Forms - Combining 2 Fields into a Third

    But what if the data is not on the worksheet but is actually selected on the form via a datetime picker and combo box, with the intention of inserting the concantenated result on the worksheet?

    Excel Forms - Combining 2 Fields into a Third

    Hi all, I am trying to design an excel form that basically solicits input from the user via a series of input options on an excel form. These are: 1. Field Name is "Planted Date" and it's selected via a date time picker. I would like to extract the month and year from that. Let's assume the...

    Lookup Help

    Alright. I thought that may be the way I had to go. Essentially, the table I was trying to extract the data from calculates the life of the fields over 16 and 24 months depending on the type of field. I though there maybe a trick to quickly get at the period. I'll have to normalize it I...

    Query is too complex

    Pwise...I see that it's using plantdate which is why it only increases it by on for the 36 times to 8/1/2008. I may be doing it wrong but it seemed the way you mentioned. I renamed a couple fields but here's the SQL copied from access: SELECT tblFldLifeTest.Field, tbldigits.DigitID...

    Query is too complex

    It inrementally increases it to 8/1/2008 but repeats that number 36 times in the RS. I think I'm missing a key component of this:) Thanks

    Query is too complex

    So I'm not sure if a query is the best way to do what I'm trying to accomplish but essentially: 1. I am trying to create a table that hold's the life of a agricultural field. The table I set up has the following data: FieldNum PlantingDate 6133 07/10/2008 2. Based on that...

    Parsing a text file into a fixed width excel split via a macro

    I agree Skip. That was my first approach but getting to the source data here is at best difficult. I have tried connecting to the source tables to utilize SQL to query off of but neither I nor the IT person can get to the proper table so I have been forced to utilize the reports out of this...

    Hi, I aplologize if this doesn't lay out on the screen properly. I've been meesing with it a bit to format but hope it gives the general idea. Anyhow, I have a report that runs every month in in text that I want to parse via fixed width. The fixed width would be based on the spacing in the...
