Trim Text Box Causing Error?

Jul 6, 2006

Hi all, this is my first post, I'll try and make it a good one :-)

System:
Windows 2000
Office 2000

I have a small network of PC's here which have access to our central database. I have a simple form created using the label wizard which is used to print address labels for mailing lists.
On most of the PC's here it works fine but on one or two (which have no obvious difference in thier setup) I get an "ODBC--Call Failed" error and it won't run the report????
I have puzzled over this for a while when I decided that I would remove the Trim function from the lines of the address fields on the label, these are put in automatically by the label wizard. This stopped the error message and the reports now run.
I don't know why this is happening but I am hoping someone will.

Thanks,

Matt.

Error With Trim Function

Nov 1, 2005

I have used the Trim function in a query and am getting an error. At first I was concatanating several fields but have cut it back to the most basic form but still receive the error. The error says that the trim expression failed. Here is the code I used:

fullname: trim([last]) + ", " + trim([first]) + " " + trim([middle])

I then used
fullname: trim([last])

I got the same error. Just using the field last does not generate an error.

Any ideas? I created the DB in Access XP and am getting the error in 2003. I tried the changes in 2003 but still got the error.

thanks. :)

Pass-through Query Causing An Error

Jan 4, 2006

I have a VERY simple select statement that I am using in a pass-through query: "SELECT * FROM dbo_vReturn;", but I cannot get this to work. Each time I run the query it generates an error: "ODBC call failed - Invalid object name "dbo_vReturn" (#208)".

The dbo_vRteturn is a view in the backend. I can open this table/view from Access using an ODBC connection but when I try to run the pass-through query it falls over!

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?:confused:

DSNless Connection Causing Error....

Dec 15, 2005

I am forced to switch from a DSN connection to my database to a DSNless connection by my hosting company. I changed my connection string from this:

strConn = "dsnname"
set MyConn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
MyConn.Open strConn

to the following:

set MyConn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
MyConn.Open = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=d:pathtodatabasemydb.mdb;"

I connect fine. But when I run a certain query, I get the following error:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e14'

The SELECT statement includes a reserved word or an argument name that is misspelled or missing, or the punctuation is incorrect.

The SQL statement in question here is:
SELECT MAX(week) AS LAST FROM Schedule WHERE Result <>''

If I change my connection back to the original DSN connection, everything is fine once again.

How would a different connection produce an error, and more importantly, how do I fix it?


Thanks,
Ted

Modules & VBA :: Assigning Value To Variable Causing Error

Jul 19, 2013

Is the following possible? If so - how?

I have a series of several hundred variables being assigned values.

If the value assigned to the variable results in an error, I would like to assign a default value to the variable which caused the error.

How do I reference the variable, or line (or any info I can work with), which caused the error?

Intermittent Generic Error Messages Causing A Major Inconvenience

May 26, 2006

Hi,

I am absolutely puzzeled with a problem we are having with an Ms Access 2000 application, which is the front end to a SQL Server database. We have a database which was working fine for over 6 months. And now all of sudden users are intermittently getting the error messages:

"Error Executing this command"
AND
"You cancelled the previous operation."

I removed the error handling code from the application to get more detailed error messages and we got the following error message:


The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: .

The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].

There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.


This is only intermittent and when they close the database and open it again it works fine for a little while and then the error occurs again. As you can imagine this is a major inconvenience for users.

I have searched the web and forums and there just seems to be 101 reasons why this could happen. Nothing has changed on our system which might cause this occur so I don't know why this is happening.

Could anybody provide any ideas on how I might go about trouble shooting it. We are thinking of opening a support call with Microsoft but the error messages are so generic that I'm not sure what help they could be.

Any help / ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Reports :: Access 2007 Trim And Field Text Addition

Mar 11, 2013

I created a form letter as an Access 2007 report. I want the greeting to read, "Dear [first_name]," e.g., "Dear Alan,". The [first_name] field is bound to said field in a query. When I just use the [first_name] field, I get "Dear Alan" with no comma. I've tried to add the comma various ways:

"=Trim[first_name] & ",", "=[first_name] & ,", "=Trim([first_name] & ","), etc., etc.

Any addition to the basic field produces the "#Type!" error. I also created labels from the same query using

"=Trim([first_name] & " " & [last_name])",

and that works fine.

Criteria For Date Field Causing 'data Type Mismatch' Error

Jul 31, 2005

Hi,

I have a query with a field defined in the query as follows:

Next Bill Date:
IIf(IsNull([dtmLastBillDate]),
DateSerial(Year([dtmDateRecd]),Month([dtmDateRecd])+1,15),
DateSerial(Year([dtmLastBillDate]),Month([dtmLastBillDate])+[lngNumMonths],15))

I can't seem to set any criteria for this field without getting an error:
'Data Type Mismatch in Criteria Expression'

Examples of criteria that I've tried:
=#1/1/2005#
>#1/1/2005#
=Date()
Year([Next Bill Date]) = Year(Now())

All of the above generate that same error.
{I've seen many pages/posts regarding 'data type mismatch' but none seem to relate directly to this situation.}

I could use some help, fast!

Thanks in advance,
David

Modules & VBA :: Send Meeting To Outlook - Address Item Line Causing Error

Mar 24, 2014

I'm trying to have a command button send info on the form straight to Outlook as a meeting. So far, the code below works apart from the address bit. I need the code to automatically add the same 2 email addresses as recepients everytime.

Error message highlights the red line below with the following message:

I'm new to VBA, so don't understand what is wrong here. The reference is set, I've tried different permutations of the "To:" & "Recipients.Add" for the email address with no joy.

Code:
Private Sub cmdSend_Click()
Dim outApp As Object
Set outApp = CreateObject("Outlook.application")
Set outmail = outApp.CreateItem(olappointmentitem)

Left Trim / Right Trim

Sep 29, 2006

Hello,

Does anyone know of a way that I can get rid of characters off a product code so all I am left with is just the characters greater than zero?

Example...

AA0000000652618... I only want to be left with 652618.

Would it be best to use a left trim or to use a right trim function? Unfortunately there is no standard for the product numbers... meaning that some numbers are 15 characters in length (as is above) but others maybe shorter or longer...

Also where I would add in the Right or Left Trim piece of code?
Regards,

Peter Vav

Trim Numbers

Jul 6, 2005

Tried to search for this, maybe I am searching the wrong term.

Anyways.. I have a table linked from a large mainframe, and what I am trying to do is trim any numbers that are 1 million and over, and still keep it a number.

Currently I have this:

VEHICLE_KMS2: IIf([VEHICLE_KMS]>999999,Left([VEHICLE_KMS],6),[VEHICLE_KMS])

What I need is to have it remain as a number, seems that the left function turns it into a string value.

Thanks

Trim Query

May 2, 2007

Using the built in function within access 2000 how can I do the following

I have the following types of number in a table

84125
80245

I want to be able to trim the leading 8 of the first number but on secon number I need to trim the 80 off the number.

I can quite easily trim off the 8 off both numbers t am left with a leading 0 on the second number. This has to also be trimmed.

The number will always be 5 digits long

Is there anyway of doing this by using the built in function Len or is there another way.

Mid Or Trim Function?

Dec 10, 2007

a maybe simple question:

With the mid function one can make sure that a part of a text is token to display on a report, output or whatever.

But how to do the following:
"John Isaac"
"William Bill"
"Michael Robert"

In the report the following has to be visible:
"John"
"William"
"Michael"

The use of mid is i think possible, and starting with the first letter as well, but how to determine when the space is coming?

Please advise!

Trim Function

Jan 8, 2008

Hi there

I saw my question in an online tutorial once but can't find it.

I have about a thousand records and I'm just concerned about one field.
I have to strip away part of the text.

Heres an example:

AFG-006/2/E
AFG-006/E
AFG-008/1
AFG-008/1/E

I have to strip away all of the left part from the ascii character (/)

so all the records would look like this:

AFG-006
AFG-006
AFG-008
AFG-008

I'm sure there's a way to do this with Trim, maybe Ltrim but I'm not sure how this would be done. Does anyone have any ideas. I have over 1000 records which means it wouldn't be practicle to do it manually.

Thanks

Trim Function In Query

Sep 5, 2006

Hi all,
I have a local table that has data imported from a spreadsheet
and we have discovered that one of the fields brings in trailing spaces. Since the Access DB has some querys to manaipulate the data I thought I would just create a qry that would trim the value of that field but I am getting error messages when I try to run the query.
Basically it is a update query with the field value written as:-

Code: Trim([Code])

I am leaving the update field in the qry blank and it complains about it not having a destination field which is understandable so how do I go about trimming the value of a field in a query. Is it even possible ?

Thanks in advance,
Mitch....

Trim Like An Excel Mofo

Dec 12, 2006

Hi there.

I have a little problem.

I have a file that I split into little code files each with their own little Code and description. Now whoever the smart one was that is making these codes and descriptions has put double spaces between some descriptions and before and after some others.

Now in excel I don't have a problem removing them. I just use the good old Trim() function. But in access like most other programs the trim function just removes the leading and trailing spaces but leaves the double spaces inside the actual strings there.


Now my question is this. Is it possible to write a query or macro that would inspect each description and search for double spaces and either remove them if their on the end/beginning of a string or replace them with a single space if they are in the inside of a string.

Basically a search and replace function i guess is what im looking for here.

Trim Field To 35 Characters

Jan 26, 2008

I have a field "DisplayURL" that contains values of various lengths. Some are only 12 or 13 characters long, but others are 50 characters long. I need to run an update query to "cut-off" all the characters past the 35 limit - so that all records in the field will be 35 characters or less.

I've searched this forum and online and there are similar posts but nothing quite like this, I thought it would be a trim function but I keep reading that it only removes spaces. Any ideas?

I am importing an excel file and a column has names with irregular spaces in it. Hopefully this trim function can solve that issue.

Many thanks,

Trim First 4 Characters And Link To Another Table

Jan 2, 2008

I have the following code:

#: Mid([Emergency-Approver],InStr([Emergency-Approver],"EBF-"),5)

Here is my problem. I need the number that is at the end of EBF, sometimes there will be a dash some times a space, i know that I can use RIGHT to remove the first 4 characters, however I do not know where to place that in the above code.

My second issue is once I have the number only showing in the field I want to link that answer to a table that has a description of what that number represents.

The table name is Approval_Code. I want to have it do a VLookup type of function however that is not available in access. So I need to know how to get that result in a new field.

Any help would so be appreciated

Thanks
Rue
