I'm a new Access user. I'm looking for an easiest solution to combine more records into one, using comma delimited. Let's say that I have a table T1 with two columns Code and Client like this:
Code Client
X C1
X C2
Y C1
Y C3
Z C1
Z C2
Z C4
Z C5
I need to see those records in a Query, grouped by "Code" with the Client's value combined like this:
Code New
X C1, C2
Y C1, C3
Z C2, C4, C5
Hi.
Stupid question, but I have Access 97 database with ssn in each record.
I need to create a comma-delimted text file with these ssns.
When I use the export text file with a query that lists each record's ssn, it does not produce comma-delimited file.
How?

I have one Access Database and i want to import the flat file coming from Cisco Phone Logs, its a comma delimited that contains the column names in the first row, and in the second row, its the data type, then the succeeding rows contains the data of the logs which are in Comma separated values, I want to put it to my created table programmatically,I used Docmd.TransferText but this will not let me define the row which i wanted to start at row 3.
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "tblImportTextFiles", Me.txt_SelectedDirectory & "/" & Me.lst_FilesInDirectory, -1
Attached is the text file i received from Cisco Call Log Applications.
I used the get external data tab and went thru the process. everything looked good in the preview but when I clicked finish I got type mismatch errors and the data that was supposed to be in field 1 was in fieild 2 and so on.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWith microsofts article, I have made to store multi options value of a list box in a text box with comma. However, since these are IDs being stored, I want these values to run a query and get results also.
But I am confused since have never used comma like in query
I have inherited a database where technicians track equipment that has been repaired.In this database, there is a memo field where the technician lists all the part numbers he / she uses to repair the piece of equipment. This field was never reported against and was strictly used for reference. However, someone is coming to me now and asking that a report be generated with that information. Then she will separate those parts out on her end. because it is a free form field, the technician is not forced to put a comma between each part number. I was wondering if there is a way for the database to go through approximately 62,000 records and ensure that there is a comma between each part number? I was also wondering if there is way to program the database to automatically insert a comma after each part number.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a table (let's call it "tableA) with about 7 fields. One of the fields contains information that I need to do a query on so that I may find specific payees, for example:
The field is called "Payee" and in that field for each record, the information could be "At&T", "A T and T" or "Abercrombie & Fi", but there is also other information in that field along with At&T, etc., so the field for a record may look like this:
A T AND T MOBILI A T AND T MOBILI 10 90034 Bill Pay
or
ABERCROMBIE & FI 3042 PP 10 9111 DIRECT
Is there a way to set up another table (let's call it tableB) to have all the Payees names (such as AT&T or whatever) in it and by the push of a button (maybe macro), have a query go out and find all matches from tableB in tablea?
So, basically have the query look in tableA and find all the matches from TableB. Please understand that tableA could have records that contain the same name, but spelled a number of different ways, for example, AT&T or A T and T or ATandT or ATT. Again these names may or may not be embedded in with other information in a field.
Or is there a way that an Access query can look into an external list and find the records, example:
Have a text (file) list with all the names (separated by a comma or space - AT&T, AT & T, Amercrombie and FI, Abercom&Fitch, etc. Now have a query go to that list and find all records that match in my tableA?
So I have two tables. One table "tbl_SRVASSET" lists out servername, serialnumber and asset tag. Second table "tbl_SRVNIC" list out the same servername, IPAddress and IPAddressTypeDesc.
The issue is that I have records in the "tbl_SRVNIC" with the same server listed numerous times (because it has 2 or 3 NIC's). So there is obviously a one to many relationship betweeen the two tables (common I guess). What I'm trying to do is be able to take the servers in the "tbl_SRVNIC" table and a new table or create a query with a single record for that server and have all 2, 3, 4 or maybe more IPAddress's assigned to them listed in the same record. This is what I'm having trouble with...
The end result is that after I've got this new table that lists only a single server and it's associated NIC's in the same record I can then combine that data with the "tbl_SRVASSET" via a basic query so my end result is a brand new table "tbl_SRVDETAIL" that looks like this:
SERVERNAME, SERIALNUBMER, ASSET, SERVER NIC1 IPADDRESS, SERVER NIC1 IPADDRESSTYPE DESC, SERVER NIC2 IPADDRESS, SERVER NIC2 IPADDRESSTYPE DESC, SERVER NIC3 IPADDRESS, SERVER NIC3 IPADDRESSTYPE DESC, (and maybe more columns if there are more, but that is a variable as some servers have 2 NIC's, Some with 3 or more so...).
When I export a table or query by right-clicking its name > export to text > with formatting and layout > choose encode as Unicode UTF8 it creates a file where all the values are surrounded by boxes, which I guess means its fixed width although it didn't ask me if I wanted the file delimited (example attached)
How can I create a tab delimited text file using UTF8 encoding?
So I'm working on an Access 2007 application for my company's suppliers list, but I am restricted to using a single Excel worksheet for the back-end. One of the fields, called [Files], is a list of files in .pdf format related to a supplier. The number of files can be 0, 1 or many. I currently have this field set up so that each file is separated by a semi-colon. A sample first record in [Files] is:
K:Users est user2008-12-24-ASTM D5857-08.pdf;
K:Users est user2012-03-12APCPP25-Black.pdf;
K:Users est userDIN_16901.pdf
The front-end contains a multi-item form. I'm trying to add a ComboBox (cboFiles) for each record, which is populated by the value in [Files]. Then, selecting an item in the ComboBox should automatically open that file.
I've tried a few approaches so far for populating the ComboBox:
Setting [Files] as the Control Source results in a single item appearing as
"K:Users est user2008-12-24-ASTM D5857-08.pdf;K:Users est user2012-03-12APCPP25-Black.pdf;K:Users est userDIN_16901.pdf"
I also tried setting the ComboBox Record Source Type to Value List and created a hidden TextBox (txtFiles) with the Control Source set as [Files]. Then I used VBA in Form_Load to equate the ComboBox Row Source to the TextBox. The code is simply:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.cboFiles.RowSource = Me.txtFiles
End Sub
While this does create a ComboBox with the correct items for the first record, it also populates the ComboBox for all the other records with the same thing, ie. every ComboBox has the items:
- K:Users est user2008-12-24-ASTM D5857-08.pdf
- K:Users est user2012-03-12APCPP25-Black.pdf
- K:Users est userDIN_16901.pdf
I'm thinking maybe this approach could work with some modification in the code or approach. Unfortunately, I'm not too clear on why the code goes through all the Me.cboFiles.RowSource, but only once on Me.txtFiles or how to get it to check the txtFile for each row. Otherwise, I will need to figure out some other way to fill in the ComboBoxes.
Edit: Actually, I've noticed something peculiar. Each time I select an item from a ComboBox, the other ComboBoxes for the other records also change to the same item. I think this has to do with cboFiles being unbound. Changing it to bound doesn't seem to be quite right though as it just gives the same default values as txtFiles while the items are still just copied from the first cboFiles. Also, I can't actually select any of the items when it's bound. I imagine it might have to do with the read-only attributes of a linked Excel File.
I am able to successfully export data from an Access 2010 Query to a Tab Delimited Text file without difficulty.My problem is that the Query includes several 'tick boxes'. The resulting text file shows the text boxes as 1 or 0 as appropriate. What I actually require is a Y/N result.To achieve the required Y/N result requires some fiddly find and replace editing which is complicated by the fact that the query also contains telephone numbers incorporating 1 & 0, This then requires further editing of individual records to convert misplaced Y/N back to 1/0. Is their any way that one can force the export to convert text boxes to Y/N rather than 1/0.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA little background. I need to export the results of a query I use to build a report. For Print Master software I need the "Field Names" in the text file as well as the data for a Mail Merge in Print Master (PM).
"The field name information in the file you have specified is missing or not correctly formatted. The first line of the file must contain the database field names. Make sure the "Export Field Names" (or similar) option is selected in the program from which you are exporting data."
Trouble is, when trying to export the report or query, Access has no "Export Field Names" option. It works if I first export to Excel and then from Excel to "txt" then to Printmaster. I would like to eliminate the Excel step. Therefore, how do or can I get Access Export to transfer the "Field Names" along with the field data?
I have an access table for SampleTests. Each sample may have multiple tests carried out on it. Each test is one record in the access table and a sample may have multiple records therefore depending on how many tests are to be carried out on this sample. I need to create a query that would have sampleID as one of the fields which it gets from the SampleTests table and then I need the second column to have all the tests associated with that sample ID in the format test1,test2, etc. but I cannot see how I can get access to put these records together separated by a comma.

Is there a way to combine four fields into one field in the same record? I am trying to build Equipment Code field by using the abbreviated values of Category, Item, Type and Dimension fields.
Example: if Category=Storage System (SS), Item=Wire Deck (WD), Type=Flared (F) Dim=42x52 are the user selected values the corresponding equipment code field would be: SS-WD-F-42x51 This is done in order for all users of the database to build a proper code in the correct format.
What I have so far: I have the four fields and the equipment code field setup in a form, the equipment code text box has a control source of: =[Category] & "-" & [Item] & "-" & [Type] But when I select values of the four fields and the equipment code is populated I try to save the record and I get an error stating that the Equipment code field needs to be filled out. Three fields (Category, Item, and Type) are look-ups from other tables and Dimension is typed in.
How can I combine several records in a table into one record?
Suppose that I have a table like Table1 in the attached image.
Then I want to combine all records with the same value for Key1 in one record.
The result is shown in Table2 in the attached image.
I would prefer to do it using SQL only, but I guess that this is not possible. Is it possible?
Alternatively I could accept to turn to VBA that could do it. Any good links about this?
I have to concatenate the data in multiple records into one record. They have "skus" associated with them.
I have two columns.
ColumnSku: Which contains a product sku
ColumnModel: Which contains a model numbers
ColumnSku can contain the same sku hundreds of times
ColumnModel can contain the same model several times but not for the same sku
What I need to do is this: For every time a sku is shown in ColumnSku, take the model in ColumnModel and join them together separated by a comma.
For example
ColumnSku|ColumnModel
SKU1111|Model11111
SKU1111|Model22222
SKU1111|Model33333
SKU1111|Model44444
SKU1111|Model55555
SKU9999|ModelHHHHH
SKU9999|ModelJJJJJ
SKU9999|ModelMMMMM
Would end up like this
ColumnSku|ColumnModel
SKU1111|Model11111,Model22222,Model33333,Model44444,Model5 5555
SKU9999|ModelHHHHH,ModelJJJJJ,ModelMMMMM
