HTML Characters In Plain Text Field

Sep 25, 2014

I have a table field defined as Plain Text. On a form I have a memo field set up also defined as Plain Text. When I enter data into the memo field on the form and save it, I see HTML characters in the field on the table.

I attached some screen shots of the table definition, form field properties and a look at the data saved to the table with the HTML characters.

I wondered if someone could help.

I am using the Val () Function to convert a text field to number within a query which still gives me a text output.

Converting Text To Date

Jul 13, 2006

Hi, I have the following problem which I hope someone can help me with:

I am importing a CSV file, one of the field in which contains times in the following format: 1200 (ie this is 12:00, th text file does not contain the : separator)

I want these to be recognised as time values by access, which at the moment only treats them as text. Is there any way i can run a query on this table to convert the numbers into times? I can do it in excel using concatenate to add in the :, but access does not have this function.

Thanks in advance!

Converting Hyperlinks To Text And Cleanup

Aug 14, 2006

My Db had an email_address field which was a hyperlink. For various reasons I had to change it to a text field. However, now every email shows as:
some_email@domain.com#http://some_email@domain.com#
Is there a simple way of cleaning this up so I am only left with the email address? In other words is it possible to create an update query to remove everything between # signs (including the # signs)?

----
I found some vba code on the forum which extracts strings but was wondering if there is an easier way just using an update query since I'm still not too efficient with vba

Converting Text String To Its ASCII Value?

Mar 18, 2015

I have a string that includes mm/dd/yyyy + person's name. All of this is concatenated and is recognized as a text value. Then I want to convert all of these characters to a number. Since each character has an ASCII code, I would like to find ASCII equivalent.

In Excel, this would involve using something like the CODE ( ) function, but that only gives the numerical equivalent for the first character in the string, but I want all characters at once.

When I try the VAL ( ) function, it returns the first character which is the number of the month.

Copying Objects From Plain Form To Tab Control

Oct 30, 2006

Hi,

I have an old form (see oldform pics) and a new form (see newform pics).
The old form has controls on it which work just dandy (well, at least they display and store information).
The new, tabbed, form however does not. What's up with that?
I simply created a form, created a tab control, went to my old form in design view, selected some objects, right-clicked-copy, went back to the new tabbed form, right-clicked-paste somewhere in the middle on the tab control, and... Presto! Nothing.... Just #Name?

Strange thing is, when I create the control, for example InitialCall, myself or using the wizard, the #Name? disappears, so then it works like it should.

What's going on? I need to do this for a bunch of controls.... and I would hate to have to do them all 140+ all over again by hand.... copy/paste would be so nice..... :)

Ms Access Converting Oracle's Number Field To Text

Jul 5, 2007

Hi,
Can anybody help me ?
I've a case where ms access displays oracle's numeric field as text where msaccess is linked to oracle.The possible reason could be when we don't specify precision in declaring the filed in oracle table, default precision is 38 which ms access cannot hold. So, it(driver) converts this to text field.But this is with MSORCL32.dll(microsoft driver for oracle).Is there any other possible reason that will result this behavior?

The following are the configuration details:
1.Oracle 9i on Unix server.
2.MSAccess on Windows XP.
MSAccess holds linked data of Oracle server.

Thanks Inadvance.

Converting Text To Number Producing Error Data

Nov 5, 2005

I am using the funtion:

Clng([text field]) to convert a text field into a number so that I can link in a query. Because it is an informix database, I cannot change the underlying table format.

When I run the query, the data is showing "Error".

I tried changing the other table to text and linking but it doesn't seem to link properly because the query doesn't work.

Your advice appreciated.
