How to get the last character of the string in query?
I have a table name PlateNo and I want to get the last character for registration purposes.
Ex. ZMD-123 - I want to get the number three(3) and if its possible every time the user types the last digit in criteria it will show all plate number ending in the entered number.
I have a string where alphabetical and numerical characters are mixed up. I need a string function where I can find the index of the first non-numerical character. I tried with the mid function but could not get it to work.

Is this possible with SQL?
I have a program that has been working for a year or so, it imports records form a text file created by a web site. Someone has entered a hex("1A", "A8" in a name field. It is shutting my program down. I tried a alphanumeric check to replace it and a length check to try and skip the record but the program thinks it is at the end of the file and quits reading records. Is there a way to get rid of characters like this in vba?
"5407 MUYF3I23 GIS..LE "
Here is what I have tried
Code:
If Len(strread) <> 591 Then
MsgBox "Invalid Record Read " & strread
GoTo Skip_Loop
End If
If AlphaNumeric(CStr(Trim(Mid(strread, 32, 11)))) Then
!HT_FName = CStr(Trim(Mid(strread, 32, 11)))
[Code] .....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a string variable with a value that could be typically
"ABCD|123|R"
The string needs to be split into its three parts, the pipe symbol being the separator. Then the middle numeric string must be converted back to a long.
I know i could do a loop which identifies each character in turn, but my question is:
Is there a VBA function that can pick out the position in the string of the "|" characters, so i dont need a loop ?
I have two table
1. dbo.period (OpeningDate, ClosingDate)
2. dbo.data (blah blah, doc_date)

Select doc_date from dbo.data

both doc_date and opening date have the same format
but the error will still appear as follows:
"Conversion failed when converting date and / or time from character string."
I have a query which working fine:
Code:
strSQL = "Select [nazwa], [id_wycena_pre], [Format_(X)], [Format_(Y)], [kolory p], [kolory t], [nazwa_id], [iloscstron], [numerarkusza], [naklad_pracy], [Kolory P], [Kolory T] from tblGoraZleceniaNowaWyceny where [id_wycena_pre]=" & Forms!frmWycenyObszarRoboczy!ID_wycena_pre & " and [nazwa]='" & "środek" & "' or [nazwa]='" & "okładka" & "'"
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)...
But now I would like to add next condition to this query
Code:
where [kolory p] is not null or [kolory t] is not null
- these fields are string
I don't know how to write this condition and add to my exiting strSQL string
I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True
Else
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False
End If
While processing string manipulation on a table (140K records, 200-250 MB) the file has corrupted, and I lost all vba Modules, but the data and other DB objects seemed to be in tact.
I now have a query with a text field, when I make a simple join SELECT, the text comes in fine (and, of course, seems fine when presented in table), but when Group by - I get Gibarish: "CARVEDILOL 6.25MG, TABLETS"
Is presented in Group by as: "砅5"
I have recreated the file, importing queries, including this one, but then recreated it as a totally new query, but get that same results.
File Corruption? anything to do about it?

Hello.
I'm using a filter that contain # as one of the characters that the field might contain.
I get some very inetersting results.
using
"select fld1
from tbl1
where fld1 not like 'D#%'
"
Lets' say that the values for fld1(text type) are :
Dodo
D# cc
The query above will return the 2 records, it is "egnoring" the filter.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot

View 13 Replies View RelatedI've got a query that does exactly what this (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=89564&highlight=null+records) chap got his to do.
However I want to add a "*" character to the criteria to allow for searches with partial matches. Here's the criteria that works:
[title]=[Forms].[Search]![Title] Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
However when I try the logical extension:
[title]=[Forms].[Search]![Title] & "*" Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
this doesn't work, and nor does:
[title]=([Forms].[Search]![Title] & "*") Or [Forms].[Search]![Title] Is Null
WHAT DO I DO? I'M TIRED AND I CANT THINK STRAIGHT! :eek: thanks and sorry for being so dumb!
Hi,
In SQL in MS Access a '?' '*' '%' are all used as a wildcards.
I need to be able to retrieve all messsages which contain a '?' within the message.
i.e. If a message contains the following characters : why?
I want to retrieve the message as a '?' is part of the message.
When I write the code :
SELECT User.User, Message.Message
FROM Message INNER JOIN [User] ON Message.[Message ID]=User.[Message ID]
WHERE Message Like '*?*';
Access takes the '?' as a wildcard and retrieves all the messages in the database. Is it possible to get round this and use '?' as a specific character.. not a wildcard?
Please help
I am wanting to filter data in a table that only begins with an alpha character.
Ex. 233333

Thus my result should only show the last character above "AAV233"
Please help. Thanks in advance.
The following is a simplified version of a puzzle I'm faced with, but if I can solve the simplified version I'll be able to solve the real thing.
Take the following column:
MyField
1-2A-B
YZ-A6
53-75-XC
How within a query can I replace the hyphens with spaces but only where they appear between two numbers? So this is the result I'm after:
MyField
1 2A-B
YZ-A6
53 75-XC
(note that the letters and numbers could be any values in any positions.)
I faced this error :
Run-time error '-2147467259(80004005)
The database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine "topleveldomain' that prevents it from being opened or locked.
in vba code :
I write such as :
con.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:My ProjectBEdatabase1.accdb;"
I have used the ms access 2013.
I also have split this database such as instruction by people but nothing effect.
In form (datasheet) I have a three columns "RightColors", "LeftColors" and "AmountOfColors"
I want to do something like this:
If I fill 'RightColors' "red;green;blue;", and fill 'LeftColors' "orange;" then in 'AmountOfColors' column should be "4". Sometimes I can fill only 'RighColors' or 'LeftColors;
I think I should add code in after update event. Is this possible to build code which can count colors using ";"? I need loop for this, right?
I have a textbox on a subform and I want to get the sum in a string as follows.
Code:
Dim s1 As String
s1 = Sum(Forms!CountItem!CountItemLastCount.Form!ThisCount)
MsgBox s1
When I use the above I get an error message saying - Sub or function not defined and it highlights the sum part of the equation.
I have been using the sum criteria in a textbox but if the user doesn't tab of the box then it doesn't see it as being updated.
I have tried me.dirty and everything else that usually works like send keys tab event, requery form and controls, a left mouse click but nothing is working, therefore I thought that code to actually update the textbox may work.
I would like to remove the comma, but only one that is at the end of my string(there is a space after the comma, should be also removed).How should I do that in vba?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I have always been wondering why this happens, and now I have a problem with it.
When I export a Table/Query from Access to Excel (be it with Right CLick -> Export...or TransferSpreadsheet) there is an apostrophe character (') appended to the front of some/each cell in Excel. You cannot see it immediately, but when you click on the cell, there is this character. WHY? Does anyone else have experience in this? :confused:
Thanks in advance.
