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.
View RepliesHow 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.
Which function in access return the the last value in a string.
Period 1 Period 2 Period 3
10 20 30
I need the function to return 30.The reason behind this I have different periods for categories and my formula I'm using needs the ending value.
I have a weight field that I've been populating with the weight and the unit of measure. I want to seperate those into 2 different fields. I've created a new field called UnitofMeasure and now I need to go back and remove all the instances of 'oz' and 'lbs' from the first field.
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)))

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 ?
Anyone know a good invalid character check script? I have two fields, userid and password, that I want to check for invalid scripts. Can't quited figure out how to script it.

Without putting a /CMD parameter value in the command line, is there any way to detect in VBA that the current state of the application is that it is executing from a scheduled task ?
What's happening is that my Outlook email is failing because a Namespace Logon method cannot be invoked when there is no user logged in. I must jump over that statement when running from a scheduler.
I have two table
1. dbo.period (OpeningDate, ClosingDate)
2. dbo.data (blah blah, doc_date)
I want to create a view as follows
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 split Access 2010 database. If the backend file is not accessible (for instance, if our shared folder connection is broken), I get no warning message at all when opening the front end. Just the home screen you would get when launching access from the Start menu. I was thinking of adding some VBA code to my startup form to give users a warning that there is a connection problem, but Access won't even load the startup form.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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

Hey all I have a I was wondering if you knew how I can get a part of my datepart function out, I have taken the year from the the date with the date part function and now I need only the 05, so what can I do to get it out? Thanks MY CODE: Dim Num as string Num = DatePart("yyyy", STRDATE)
I looked up the code for a right function and it is suppose to work on a string, so I tryed it on this. My CODE:
Dim Year As String
Year = RIGHT(Num, 2)
I obtained a type mismatch WHY???
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 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.

here is my code so far:

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.

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","")
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?
