Queries :: Make Replace Query To Look In Order To Find What To Replace
May 6, 2014I have this working query:
Code:
INSERT INTO TB_SISTEMAS ( LOGIN, SISTEMA, PERFIL, DATA )
SELECT Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.LOGIN],255) AS LOGIN, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA, Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.PERFIL],255) AS PERFIL, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA
FROM dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS
WHERE (((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA)<>"ACTIVE DIRECTORY") AND ((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA)="2014-03-23"));
But Iwant to be able to use a set of data to be used in the Replace Statement, so I create a table to add each string I would like to have replaced by "nothing", and trying to make the replace query to look there in order to find what to replace.I also created a table where I will list the systems that I dont want in the select, so I removed the "ACTIVE DIRECTORY" and replaced by the colum that have the list of system I dont want listed.This is the result:
Code:
INSERT INTO TB_SISTEMAS ( LOGIN, SISTEMA, PERFIL, DATA )
SELECT Replace((Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.LOGIN],255)),[PREFIXOS_E_SUFIXOS]![Valor],"") AS LOGIN, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA, Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.PERFIL],255) AS PERFIL, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA
FROM dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS
WHERE (((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA)<>[SISTEMAS_EXCLUIDOS]![Sistema]) AND ((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA)="2014-03-23"));
The thin is that this keeps asking me to enter the parameter value for "PREFIXOS_E_SUFIXOS!Valor" and for "SISTEMAS_EXCLUIDOS!Sistema"
Possible To Update 180 Queries With Find / Replace Script Or Function?
Apr 2, 2014The company I work for is consolidating regional server space onto a single server. I have relinked all of my tables, but my ~180 queries are still pointing to the old server.
My question: Is there a script or other process that can be executed that will search through all my queries within the database to find the string "dbo_tbl" and replace with "dbo_vwtbl"? I would very much like to avoid taking each individual query to a notepad...

Replace Function In A Query
Jan 19, 2008Can the replace function be used in a query?
I have used this
=Replace(Format([SITELATSEC],"00.0"),".",",") in a report and it works fine.
I have the following expression in a query that is output to a report.
LAT: "Latitude: " & [SITELATDEG] & "º " & [SITELATMIN] & "' " & [SITELATSEC] & """ "
I need to be able to display [SITELATSEC] with a comma instead of a decimal point. I tried
LAT: "Latitude: " & [SITELATDEG] & "º " & [SITELATMIN] & "' " & =Replace(Format([SITELATSEC]00.0"),".",",") & """ "
and got an error message about too many commas.
On a more general note: Has anyone ever actually finished a database - ie got to the point where no changes needed to be made? 18 months after this started, and I'm still tryng to accomodate what my manager wants!
Update Query - Replace Function Problem
Oct 31, 2004I'm having problems with an assignment in an online course I am taking.
The assignment is to create one Update Query to find & remove typos in a field. Specifically, the typos are multiple f's & g's embedded in a field.
I created an Update Query that finds the typos & removes just the f's. I'm having trouble with the syntax to also remove the g's.
This is what I have so far that works great.
Update: Replace([Field2],"fff","")
Criteria: Like “*fff*”
or: Like “*ggg*”
The Query finds the records that contain both the "fff" & the "ggg" typos but I'm having trouble with Syntax for removing both.
Does anyone know what I have to change in the "Update:" line to include removing the g's?
I know I could easily create 2 Querys to remove the f's then the g's but the assignment requires only 1 Query to remove both.
Thanks,

Queries :: Replace Function In Query With Sub Table
Feb 14, 2014I am running a query for an apparel manufacturing facility. In my query I have a table called 'OrderForm' which is where the orders are put in. There are more than one type of fabric that can be a part of an apparel item, so as a result, there are multiple fields pulling from the 'FabricType' table. In order to get this to work in my query I created 'SubTables' for the different fabric fields. For example, I have tblFrontfab, tblbackfab, tblsleevefab, and tblcollarfab which are just extra copies of the 'FabricType' table. The actual question is that when I want to replace characters like ,./& in the fabric field but I can't use the replace function. It says that it is too complex to calculate.
I used this notation
Frontfab: Replace([tblFrontfab].[fabric],".","")
and the error was that it is to complex to evaluate.

Find And Replace
Jan 22, 2005We do alot of find and replace in our main form (CTRL+F). The glitch is that once the pop-up box for "Find and Replace" appears, we almost always have to change the search setting from "Whole Field" to "Any Part of Field". Is there a way to set the default to "Any Part of Field" instead so that we don't have to change the setting every time?

Find And Replace Programatically
May 3, 2005Hello,
I have a list of dates of births in a table, but the way they are always imported (from some piece of crappy software somewhere) is in the format of: 01.01.2005 (using full stops).
Access doesn't like this, and insists on slashes, or dashes. Now, if I do a find/replace, it works perfectly, just replacing all the full stops with slashes. However, I want to do this quite regularly...any ideas how to do it programatically in VBA?
Thanks!
Any help much appreciated!

Find And Replace Text
Aug 3, 2006Hi,
I have my main table and one column is a lookup field to another table.
One of the options that was in the dropdown needed to be changed. So I changed the dropdown, but now I need to change all the old entries to reflect this change.
I opened the main table, and thought I could do a find/replace. But it doesn't work. If I do just a 'find' it finds the old text just fine. But if I do the Find/Replace option, it says the 'look for' text was not found. Even tho, I just found it using the find option. If I click on the tab that says find, it will find it again. If I click on the find/replace it can't find it.
any ideas on a way to quickly replace my text in these fileds, without having to go 1 by 1 through each record.
Thanks
Find A Box, Replace With Line
Jan 26, 2005Hello hello
I have several boxes instead of line breaks throughout my table. I would like to do a find and replace. Is this possible???
I can't seem to select the box to cut and paste it into the "find" line, which is too bad, because I might be able to get by with just replacing it with a semi-colon or something.
But, since I'm asking, I might as well go for the gold and ask how to make it show as a new line too, right??
I found in other threads how to use chr(10) and chr(13)... which I did, which created the boxes in some of the fields. (Some of the fields already had boxes). I also read where I should use vbcrlf, but I can't get that to work. In THIS thread: http://forums.aspfree.com/t38413/s.html&highlight=chr%2810%29 someone had the same problem as me, and was told to do an OnFormat Event.. and well, I'm just not advanced enough yet to figure that out. I've done modules, and sql view queries... and a lot of tweaking with the help I've already gotten here.. so I AM learning...
So... is there a way to do this? Preferably cheap and easy.

Find Replace Macro
Feb 21, 2006I have a field that I am running a few queries on. What I want to do is run a macro when the form is opened.
I have been looking on how to write a query that will convert any space within a string to a "+". I cant figure it out...
IN the first part of the macro I am setting the field up so I can hyper link to Mapquest. My problem is that the link wont work with the spaces I have in my address field. So i figure after I running the first query to create the string below, I could then run another query to replace all spaces with a "+"
"http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&country=US&address=" & [HOUSE_NUM] & "+" & [STREET] & "&city=" & "Some+City" & "&state=" & "TX"
Any thoughts?
Find And Replace Within A Macro
Dec 20, 2011I have a large macro with a lot of actions to run reports and export them to a shared drive. I basically need to copy the macro, but make it run a different query/report. Is there any way to do a find and replace to change the query and report name within the macro in one step, opposed to going through all the action lines and changing it?

Nov 10, 2005My database has a street address field that I would like find and replace a handful of certain strings with other strings. For example I would like to see:
Sunset Point = Sunset Pt
Main = Main
Prospect = Prospect
Caminito Paseo = Camto Paseo
Camino Litoral = Cam Litoral
I would like to perform something exactly like Find and Replace but to multiple strings in ONE function or query to update.
Is this possible? I looked at fReplace() but not sure where to put this.
Thank you.

Forms :: Find And Replace Not Working
Jul 9, 2014I have a form ("Contacts Form") that I use with a few subforms on it. One of the subforms is "sbfrmCompanys" that has information on the contacts company. One of the fields in sbfrmCompanys is "Organization." Users used to be able to use the "find" feature to search for an organization's record, however the "find" feature suddenly stopped working. Now, when a user searches for an organization that I KNOW is in the company table, a dialogue box appears that says Access has finished searching and no records were retrieved. This cannot be so because I know for a fact the particular value I am searching for is in the table.

Macro To Find And Replace With Checkbox
Jul 21, 2015I have a database in which the user can select records to print via a checkbox (Yes/No | True/False | -1/0 as the case may be) and then a query that runs through a form to show the list of the records selected with the Print checkboxes as Yes | True | -1.
I want to include a button to change the checkbox for each record from Checked back to Unchecked (Yes back to No | True back to False | -1 back to 0).
Rather than have to Uncheck each individual record, I'd like to have a Macro or Code that will do all the displayed records in one hit.
I have looked at Code and Macro but can't seem to find "Find and Replace" type action that will allow me to do it all in one go.
