Delete <space> If At Beginning Or End Of Value?
Dec 4, 2007
Hey all,
I got a massive lump of WORD documents with Avery Mail label tables -- each avery mail label template/table has a mailing address. This how these people store their data. :mad::confused::mad:
So I went through and over a couple days transfered all 458 records to an excel spreadsheet for easy importing to my access mailing database. Problem is that I forgot to clean up a couple of the fields and now I have all these values with unnecessary spaces as the first or last characters for a lot of values.
My question:
Could anyone help me remove the first and/or last character of these values if the character is " "? Would it be easier to do this in excel and just re-import?

Hi,
I would like to setup a MS ACCESS database for the 174 styles that we sell. I would like the user to see the item ref, manufacturer, where the goods are packaged, bulk price, packaging costs, total costs of that item (=bulk + packaging costs), M.O.Q, carton quantity, Contact, Email address, Supplier Address.
Could someone suggest a checklist or alternatively a set of procedures i would have to follow to setup this database? I would like the user to be able to type in the item reference so that it brings up all the information stated above, which would be stored in the data table.Is this possible?
I have the the information stated above in an excel spreadsheet format if I link this to an access related database can i setup a search mechanism, if yes please advise how?
I am not so bothered about the way it looks at the moment I would just love to see it up and running.
Please advise the best way for me to approach this? If someone has a "readme" file which would help me set this up, It would most appreciated????
Thanks in advance ;o)

I have a default text value in a field. When I tab to go that field, it is highlighted. But for this specific field I want to go to show the cursor to the left of the text and with it unhighlighted, so I can add text to the beginning.
How can I do this?

Hello,
Im having trouble with Criteria for a query. I have my criteria like this:
Like "*" & [Forms]![NewSearch]![txtSearch2] & "*"
The only problem is, if im trying to search for a last name such as "Aber" the search results come up with not only Aber but also anything that contains Aber, such as the last name Singaber.
How can I make the criteria search from the beginning of the Name, and not anywhere in between?
Please help, going to drive myself nuts :)
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

I have done a half-dozen searches and only gotten 1 option.
There is a simple way to have the cursor at the beginning or end of a field when it arrives in a new field.
I saw the VBA code aboyt setting the length. There is an easier, simpler way to set it so that you don't have to apply the vba code to every single indiviual field.
I remember learning about it here on this forum, but now can't find it.
Can anyone remember how to do this?
Thanks in advance,

Hey guys,
This is my first post here so please forgive if it seems rather elementary.
Here's the deal, I am a web developer finishing up my senior year of college. I have a client that is using a Microsoft Access database on a web site and the site is built with ASP. I have never really used these two items together before and need to write some scripts to do simple database functions.
I have a lot of experience with PHP and MySQL databases and SQL query statements but I haven't figured out the syntax to go with Access and ASP.
Is there a good beginner's site that covers this? I have scoured the web and found nothing useful.
Also, the following line of code gives me the following error:
objConn.execute("UPDATE Sheet1 SET Salutation='Jose' WHERE Salutation='Mike'")
gives the error
"
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Operation must use an updateable query.
/tester/tester.asp, line 22"
That is line 22. I am connected okay because I can do select statements. The table name and field name is correct as well but I don't know why I get this error.
Thanks

I have created a table that contains banking info. I have a field for Transaction #; the Transaction # is always 4 digits. Sometimes that number begins with a 0. When I enter the 0 at the beginning, Access will not show it. I've tried setting the Input Mask (tried #### and 0000) but that still didn't work. The field type needs to be number so that my report will sort properly. How do I get the 0 at the beginning to show?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

I have a simple bit of code that searches for a [User Name] field the basic idea is I place a field called "search" on a form and set its on change to
Private Sub Search_Change()
Search.SetFocus
strtarget = Search.Text
If strtarget < "a" Then strtarget = "a"
[User Name].SetFocus
DoCmd.FindRecord strtarget, acStart, False, acSearchAll, False, acCurrent, True
Search.SetFocus
Search.SelStart = 100
End Sub
it takes the text entered in the search field and calls it Strtarget then resets focus on the field I want eg [user name] once the search has done it resets the focus on the search field so you can carry on typing this works very well unless the search string starts with a letter I.

I have a text field called Notes - where we will add notes about the particular job. What I want to do is have it a locked field with a button 'Add Notes'. When clicked it will insert the date and the user name of the person and then let them type the notes. When they move to the next record - I want that field to be locked again.
I've got some of it down but still not right. I can get it so it inserts the date but it overwrites what is already there. How can I get it to just add the data - not overwrite? And I can't get it to lock when they move to the next record.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

I have a accdb pointed at Sql Server 2012 via ODBC pushing text from a text box back to a Sql server's column that is a nvarchar(10) to store zip codes.
Edit: I confirmed that the accdb's linked table has a datatype of text for the zip code column.
Oddly, the Access form's textbox is sending back the text, but stripping out the preceeding zero in the zip code - almost like when excel (shudder) strips the preceeding zeros away from SSNs and Zipcodes - treating them like a number - and not text.
How do I stop this?
The form object is a text box, and the sql server backend doesn't mind the preceeding zero. When I manually set the value to = '01111' using sql server management studio, the value is accepted - and then later viewable (with the zero) when using the accdb's form...
This leads me to believe the form is stripping away the zero when inserting the record. The add records button uses the following to insert the records:
Code:
Private Sub btnAddDioOffice_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
If ListBoxDios.Value <> "" And txtDioOffName.Value <> "" Then
[Code].....

Here is my problem
In namefield_AfterUpdate, I check for duplicate name entries and notify the user if any are found - they are prompted as to whether the duplicate was accidental or intentional and continue working. This works fine for normal circumstances.
However, if the user updates namefield so that the value is a duplicate of an existing name in the database, but then presses Cancel (or Delete), then the namefield_AfterUpdate is fired and what button they pressed. The button Click code does not run first.
How can I tell if the user updated the name, but then realized they didn't want to save, and then clicked 'Cancel' (or any button) and the code should really skip the duplicate check validations/messages?

I created an update query to a text field in a table. However, it inserts the data at the end of the string and I need to insert it at the beginning of the string that already exists. How do I move it to the front instead of the end?
This works but puts it at the end:
[Field Name] & "BlahBlah"

I'm having trouble with a field on my DB. I have a field named zip code. It has a limit of 5 characters that are only number values, I'm not having any trouble with entering information at all, it's easiest when I just tab into the cell from the previous one. However, the part I am having trouble with is when I click within the field and the cursor, let's say, is at the second character line, and I enter the zipcode 15222, it'll only enter 1522 since my cursor is at the second line.
How can I fix this so that wherever my cursor is, within the box it'll type the full 5 digit zip code? My boss is insistent on making sure that even if he clicks towards the right of the box, it should type the full number.

I only want the user to be able to enter 9 numbers into the field including 0 in the beginning if needed.
I have this code in at the moment "Is Null OR Between 100000000 And 999999999", however if the number starts with a 0, it doesn't include it.
Else I'll just use an Input Mask

I have a query based on two tables, joined on one field (this field is the primary key in Table A. Table B doesn't have a primary key). When working inside this query, it gives me the option to delete records. However, when I try, the row disappears from the query but then if I save and close and either re-open table A or the resulting query, that record is back. It doesn't actually delete. If I go to table A directly and delete it, it's gone for good.
How can I make it so that when I delete the record inside the query it actually deletes? And if that's not an option, can I make it so that it doesn't seem like I can delete records inside the query so that people don't make the mistake?

I have two simple tables. I want to delete the records from Table1 that are on Table2. I've created a select query that gives me what I want but when I change to a delete query, I get this message: "Unable to delete from specified tables"
I think my problem has something to do with security but I can't figure out what to change.
