    Update field based on values in another -different data types.

    I created this extremely long query that still needs some more lines added but works so far. It will grow because I have to do a large amount of where statements for InfoType and Gear fields as well. SELECT POLYGON_ID, "Halibut" AS Species,"CO" AS Interviewer, PARTICIPANT_ID, GEAR FROM...

    Update field based on values in another -different data types.

    Hi duane, I tried out your statement and it works great and solves one of my issues - that of how to get yes/no fields into a text field. However I am having higher level problems. I am a little rusty on SQL so bear with me. I need to get information from certain fields in my Fishery table...

    Making a field's autonumber start at a value other than 1

    Alex, I'm pretty new to this but i'm not sure if that applies to my situation. The article you linked to discusses how to reset an autonumber field. I just want to create a new field that starts at '572' and counts up from there. One of my initial problems was that i already had one...

    Hi again! I'm trying to create a field in a table that will increment by +1 each time. However the value of the first row has to be a number other than 1. I retrieve that value through the function Get_Location_No. Here is my code: Dim strSQL As String Dim tabName As String...

    I want to stop the update/ delete msg boxes from popping up.

    I'm running a bunch of sql statements in the background when user clicks a btn. I'd rather not have 8 msg boxes automatically show up saying "you are about to update 427 rows" etc etc. Is there a way to programmatically turn them off? Apologies if this is in the wrong forum and the answer is...

    Parse a date using Year, Month functtions?

    Hey Alex, That is the answer, Thanks! I formatted the loc_year field as an integer instead of date. The reason i need to split them is because I need to (eventually) insert the data from this table into an existing table that has fields for loc_year, loc_day, and loc_month. O f course, all...
