Function For Combining 2 String Expressions?
Jan 12, 2007
I am having a conversion problem combing the following 2 string expressions.
Condition 1: Format([TestDate],'mmm dd", "yyyy')
Condition 2: NZ([TestDate],"No Exam Found")
I want to convert the dates to string values, and evaluate for Null fields, if Null display "No Exam Found."
I am having trouble getting both of these string expressions to work together.
If I use them together the NZ statement fails.
I can get the date value in the column to display as a string "Feb 14, 2004"
or
If I use the 2nd condition if a field is Null display "No Exam Found", separately.
But how to do I get these two conditions to work together on the same column of information?
[TestDate]
02/14/2004 ---->"Feb 14, 2004"
03/22/2005
07/21/2005
05/11/2004
10/12/2004
(BLANK) ----> "No Exam Found"
09/28/2004
03/14/2006
I am comfortable with Access, and basic Queries, but I am a non-programmer. I am tipping my toe in the Access programming water with Michael Alexander's book "Microsoft Access Data Analysis: Unleashing the Analytical Power..." and his Web tutorials... which has given me enough confidence to tackle this.
I have searched the web and have been toiling over this for about 2 weeks now.
Thanks

I have a table in Access 2010 and in one field i have multiple records of the same data as in the next field it has unique data for example:
NameColour
CarBlue
CarGreen
CarYellow
BusOrange
BusPurple
BusRed
I am trying to run a query which will effectively group up the "Name" field and combine the "colour" field against the name using a ";". so it would look like this:
NameColour
CarBlue;Green;Yellow
How i would do this.

Hye
I have an Access database in which one of the queries has following fields:
Reference1:Getstring([Reference],1) and the second is
Reference2:Getstring([Reference],2)
I cant find any reference to Getstring function's use or functionality. Microsoft's website only says "Obsolete" indicating this is no longer used. (i am using access 2003)
Any help is appreeciated.
Many thanks
Jay

I am amending some Code I found online for an audit table, I need to store additional information in the table that is associated with some forms but not others.
I have researched about putting optional variables in, but I read this only works with the type VARIANT.
Is there a way to make a string optional as my fields contain text?
here is my code so far:
Sub AuditChanges(IDField As String, UserAction As String, Optional UserID As String, Optional DeviceID As String, Optional SimID As String)
On Error GoTo AuditChanges_Err
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim ctl As Control
Dim datTimeCheck As Date
[Code]...

Access 2007
I can't figure out how to replace a period that is in the middle of a string and end up with 10 digits. For example 55.5555 would be 5500005555. I can use replace() but the tricky part is I have to end up with 10 digits.
Ultimately what I'm trying to do is - when a user enters 55.5555, 555.5, 5.5 or any variation they will be able to find the corresponding record. So a wildcard for the search or the replacement of the "." with enough zeros for 10 digits.
Here is what I'm using now - i making them enter the full 10 digit number but would like to give them the ability to use the period in place of the zeros.
Function Search()
Dim lssql As String
Dim lsSn As Recordset
Dim db As Database
Dim lsMessage As String
Dim sMsg As String
Dim vRetVal As Variant
Set db = CurrentDb()
[Code] .....

Need to use CAST to return integer value of string (digits as data type string).
Where clause looks like this:
... Where Cast([Price File] as int) > 0
works fine in SQL Server but not sure what syntax is in VBA . Using Paul Baldy's suggestion to set Select statement as string and do the debug.print to verify that SQL has no goofs ... looks good but not to Access. What is proper syntax?

I have a list of consumables;
Syringe 50ml
Syringe 20ml
Syringe 5ml
Syringe Cap
White Needle
I want to remove only the number and the ml part from the list, so I would end up with;
Syringe
Syringe
Syringe
Syringe Cap
White Needle
If I use
PHP Code:
Replace([DrugNameVial],"50ml","")Â
I get the desired result for the 50ml syringe size.
I have tried every possible combination of "**ml", "##ml", "Like [0-9]ml all with no success.
How this can be resolved without having to individual enter each syringe size "5ml", "20ml" etc
I can't even just take the text from the right till the first space as this would lead to problems with other consumables in the list.

The code has fixed path information on a lot of places in different SQLs (DoCmd.RunSqL command). I want to replace fixed path info with variable path info. Variable path info is stored in the table.
I managed to achieve that in the following manner:
Code:
Dim db As Database
Dim dbName as String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset ("TableName", dbOpendynaset)
rs.FindFirst ("ID = " & 2)
[Code] ....
where I would use as variable Function name instead of dbName.
How to make module that will enable to use Function name as variable path information for SQL queries?

I am using a public function to feed a variable string to a query. So far I have got:
Code:
Public Function ClientStreetModule(firstLVar As Variant, streetVar As Variant, newFL As Variant) As String
Dim cslStr1 As String, newStreet As String
newStreet = Right(streetVar, Len(streetVar) - Len(newFL))
[code]....
However, I only need to use newStreet as the true part of iif, in which instance all are longer. At least I think this is the problem. I realise I might need to use NZ but am not sure how. Why it is evaluating and giving errors for all records and not just when the iif criteria is true as I want it to?

I trying to combine three columns that I have into one column without combining fields.
Currently what I have:
(see image below)
What I want:
ID-----MOC
##----name1
##----name2
##----name3
##----name4
##----name5
etc
The list I have will be much longer and will be changing frequently, which is why I can't just go on excel and manually do this.

I have a table that has questions that require Yes/No answers, simple done, however now for the tricky (or at least for me, VV new to Access) I need one of the fields to add up all the Yes and asign a value so for example:
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Result
Y N Y Y N 3
How do I do this, I asume it is down to the expression for 'Field' Result but what should that expression be and where do I put it?

I'm using Windows 2K SP4 and have just installed Office 2003. Everytime I open Access I get a message asking if I want to block unsafe expressions (presumably macros). How can I turn this off?
BTW I've downloaded all of the security updates, which are recommended by MS.

I have a complicated question here. I am currently building a db for career development in my workplace. The main fields that i am having some issues with is the following. I have three fields labelled as the following:
1)Last Review date
2)Next review date ( i have this entered in as an auto generated date-- will add one year from the last review date)
3)Status
Now here is my question:
I want my status field to auto generate as well-- say if the last review date was in 2005 and the next review date was dec.12/06-- then the status would currently be overdue.
Is there any expression to use to auto generate the status field to say whether it is overdue or completed? or is there any easier way to do this?

I’m starting to wonder how I ever made anything work, before I found this place.
I built 2 queries and put them in a query
They share a common field
The join type is all record from Query1 and Matching from Query2
Next I added a count field for each
Then I added a calculated field that subtracts the count from Query1 to Query2.
So far it all works
When I add >0 to the criteria for the calculated field a dialog box pops up asking for the values of the fields expressed the calculated field.
