Changing Case Of Data Already In Access Tables
Dec 8, 2006
My database is now live within our office and is working fine.
The databases which I have imported the data from, where done by my dad, who being old fashioned, used CAPS for everything he typed. So for quite alot of the data, its all caps, and it would be great, but not essential if we could revert the text to normal sentences.
Is there any trick or code that I could run that would go through certain tables and reformat the text in to a better format??

I've purchased & downloaded this Zip Code Database which has every Zip zcode in the U.S. which I use for different projects/reasons. The problem is, ALL of the data is upper case letters. I was wondering if in Access (or Excel) is there any way I could convert all of the letters (except the first letter) from upper case to lower case letters?

Hi
Is there a way of changing the case of text that has been entered in a table?
Want a form to display capitalised names, say, no matter how they were entered. Know that they can be displayed in all caps using >.
Thanks

I have a field in the table that contains numbers and a mix of upper and lower case words.
I would like to have this to it check for numbers and then makes the first letter in a word upper case and the remainder lower case.
I know you can do it like this >L<????????? but that dow not work if the word lengths are different. Unless I am missing soemthing.
Example of text in field is this:
100 RCSCC MAJOR PAIN
I would like the RCSCC to remain in UPPERCASE and then move to the next work and change the first letter to UPPER CASE and the remaining letters lower case then repeat this on the next word if there is one in the field.
Thanks for all your help.

I have a field in a table that is comprised of mostly numerical data but some records are text.
I want to convert this field to numerical only and make a new field to put the textual data in.
However converting the field will delete the textual data. What is the easiest way to convert the field but save the textual data AND append the textual data to the SAME record that they were in originally in the new field?

I am connecting to a table in our accounting software using MS Access ODBC Connection. I would like to change the value in a table for every record in the table 7,000+. In the latest version of the software a new field was added to the Vendor Table that by default is unchecked. I would like to have this field checked for each vendor. Is there a way that I can change all the records at once instead of going row by row to make the changes?

I have an Access 2000 database in which i am importing some data programmatically through VB6. However for some reason Access is changing the data that i am sending it (i know it's access doing it as a manual import does the same thing)
Example data (dashes signify different columns 4 total)
8/31/11 - 08:30:45 - 1 - 003
this gets changed by access to
8/31/11 - 8:30:45 AM - 1 - 3
Note it changed the time to am/pm format and my 003 became 3 . I have all the database fields set as TEXT and not numbers / date & time so I would think that it would treat the data literally however that is not the case and my data gets messed up.
How do i tell access to stop messing with the data and treat it literally and not change anything ?

I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.

I have created a member data base form in Access2010.
That has been populated with 366 member records
I have two text box fields that are currently free type fields, Member Type & Member Status.
What is the best way I can change these to show only the relevant options:
i.e. Member Type ( Full, Family, Pensioner, Life. )
Member status ( Current, Lapsed, Deceased)
I have tried to right click the field but the "change to" option is greyed out & not available.
I have also tried to insert a combo box or list box to show these options. The "use control wizard" option has been highlighted but when I drag either a combo box or list box into the form. the wizard does not activate.

We have an Access 2000 backend database resides in a network server drive while users connect to the backend tables with a mde file on their computers. All users have Access 2010 and the mde file was converted from the 2000 frontend with Access 2010.
The database have been running for a few weeks but recently users have been complaining about record lost on the backend table.We have also experienced one incident of data corruption where the main table could not be opened. After Compact & Repair, the table could be opened but a few records were showing xxxxx on all the fields and we have to delete and re-enter these records.Would they relate to using 2010 mde converted from 2000 frontend when the backend is still in 2000? I am a little nervous about converting both the frontend and backend to 2010 since I have heard various issues on the new version.

I'm creating a fairly basic case management system in Access 2007 and i'm wanting a way of populating a set of tasks when a case is created...
e.g.
I have a case table, which contains basic information about the case, case manager, ID, date created etc.
I've also got a task table with a list of tasks
When i create a new case I want it to pull in the list of tasks from the task table, the tasks are static so i wouldnt want them to update the task table but update progress on the tasks against the case.
Do i need another table for like casetasks where it populates the blank tasks and then they're updated with an ID linked back to the Case.

Is it possible to use sql case statements in access ?

CASE sOrderStatus WHEN '9' THEN 'Canceled' END FROM tTmpOrderRpt"

I have linked tables in my db at the moment that rely on user dsn connections to an SQL server. I've been reading about DSNLess connections and want to try convert what i have to have permanent DSNless connections, but the code I've found doesn't appear to be working.
I've removed server specific details where i felt necessary, but when running the code i have it in place.
Code:
Public Sub RefreshODBCLinks()
Dim connString As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tb As DAO.TableDef
connString = "DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=<database ip address>;DATABASE=<
[Code] .....

I have a database containing a mixture of upper and lower case input. I can make upper case appear on the screen by using > in the format box in the property section for each field. This works great but the same old uncorrected stuff remains on the database. How can I get the database to store the corrected upper case data after I have entered it in lower case?

Hello All,
I currently have a bunch of tables that I have linked to a SQL database. For development purposes (easy of use), I'd like to turn all those tables into regular tables rather than linked so if I take the db offsite, all the data is with me. I realize there will be no updates, etc. but that really doesn't matter for my needs in this case.
Is there a script or an easy way to do this? (besides doing a manual import for a LOT of tables)
I've tried searching but I might not be searching for the correct terminology.
Thanks in advance!
Randy

I have a table and a simple query that pulls results from the table. Nothing too crazy. But, if I were to go in and change some of the data/values in the query results it will change the respective data in the table. I know that this cannot be right. What do I have to do to either prevent the ability to change query results and/or prevent any changes in the query from altering the original data in the table.

Is it possible to import data from Excel to Access?
I have a program which dumps 4 Excel files full of useful info which I need to analyse and report. Access would be an ideal tool to do this but the volume of info means it has to take the data rather than copying and pasting each section.
Is this possible?

Hi,
Would it be possible for me to build an interface for a customer to use for importing data. So that they customer could choose from a drop down list, or input into a text box where they want to export from, and where they would like the export to be imported?
