Here is my problem. I need the number that is at the end of EBF, sometimes there will be a dash some times a space, i know that I can use RIGHT to remove the first 4 characters, however I do not know where to place that in the above code.
My second issue is once I have the number only showing in the field I want to link that answer to a table that has a description of what that number represents.
The table name is Approval_Code. I want to have it do a VLookup type of function however that is not available in access. So I need to know how to get that result in a new field.
I have a field "DisplayURL" that contains values of various lengths. Some are only 12 or 13 characters long, but others are 50 characters long. I need to run an update query to "cut-off" all the characters past the 35 limit - so that all records in the field will be 35 characters or less.
I've searched this forum and online and there are similar posts but nothing quite like this, I thought it would be a trim function but I keep reading that it only removes spaces. Any ideas?
Does anyone know of a way that I can get rid of characters off a product code so all I am left with is just the characters greater than zero?
Example...
AA0000000652618... I only want to be left with 652618.
Would it be best to use a left trim or to use a right trim function? Unfortunately there is no standard for the product numbers... meaning that some numbers are 15 characters in length (as is above) but others maybe shorter or longer...
Also where I would add in the Right or Left Trim piece of code? Regards,
I have a table which contains a nine digit number. How do I write a query to limit the restults to just the first two digits of that nine digit number?
I have to import a field from Excell that contains more than 50 characters in the field.
I need the line to stop at the last complete word prior to 50 characters and start the next record in that field automaticly and continue to fill and wrap at the last complete word prior to 50 characters.
Would it be better to do this in another Office 2K program?
I have several thousand lines to type if this can't be automated. What a drag.
I have a table called tblSchemeCodes with the following field names:
Field Name Data Type Field Size Required Indexed
strCompany Text 1 Yes No strSchemeCode Text 3 Yes Yes(No Duplicates) strSchemeName Text 100 Yes No strOrigNo Text 9 Yes No strCategory Text 9 Yes No dtmDateAdded Date/Time No No
Here is an example of some of the scheme codes I have:
HG HGA HGB HGD HGF HGG HGJ HGP etc etc
however when I try to add HGE, it won't allow it, even though it doesn't exist within the table, it keeps changing it from HGE to HE, and HE already exists, so a can't add messgage pops up, which is should, because duplicates are not permiited.
I've tried turning off all of the required aspects and changed the "Yes (no Duplicates)" to "No", and the problem persists!!
Has anyone any idea why access would behave in this way and how I might resolve it.
How to search an Access table for unwanted <cr> characters
Occasionally a stray carriage return <cr> Ascii 013 character finds its way into an Access table. These destroy the database when the table is processed by an outside utility for data cleansing.
To prevent this from happening, we have been told to clean the table before submitting it, i.e. remove all of the following:
carriage return, comma, double quotes, equals, greater than, smaller than
Is there any utility available which will remove all these characters when being run only once? (i.e. not find/replace which has to be started separately for each of these characters)
How do I search for a <cr>, even with find/replace?
if it is possible to store text in a table that includes subscript / superscript characters. As an example; need to indicate the units of measurement for some data and therefore need to be able to pull data from the table such as the following: kg/m2, m/s2 etc. In both these case i need the 2 character to be superscript.
I'm trying to make this an automated process so pulling it directly from the database.o a method of storing the data as a text string would be ideal.Otherwise i imagine a rather difficult VBA function will be involved
I have a data base,one of the field contain Data like "ZZZ-DEFS#UUH1234567".
There should always be 19 characters in this field including #.I want to design a query which can sort out entries less than and more than 19 characters, so that wrong entries can be corrected .
My database has several tables (and queries) that have fields that contain people's names. Some names, like O'Neil, contain apostrophes. Other fields contain couple names, like Tom & Laura Jones. Both the ' and the & prevent queries, forms, and reports from working correctly.
The attached Access XP file demonstrates my problem. I've included a form to make testing easier.
Each record in the Projects table has one or more linked entries in the Keywordlink table, showing keywords that apply to that record. Each record in Projects has a Yes/No 'Utility' field.
A third table, Keywords, supplies the keywords that the user can apply to records in Projects, using the subform on the main form. The Keywords table also includes a True/False 'Utility' field. I have set this to True for for the first three keywords.
I need a query, a series of queries or some VB code that updates Projects_Utility for all records to True if and only if the record's linked entries in Keywordlink include all of the keywords for which Keywords_Utility is True (a boolean 'and', as opposed to an 'or'). Otherwise, Projects_Utility must be set to False.
In the attached file, with the current settings in the Keyword table, the 'GetSelectedProjects' query should then produce single-row listings for ClientA and ClientF.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me on this. I'm not a programmer, but I can manage a bit of VB code if I have to.
I have a table "Product" and in this table I have two fields "StoragePlaceID1" and "StoragePlaceID2". Both these fields link to the look-up table "StoragePlace"
*Attached Image "Product_StoragePlace" from the Access Relationship Window"*
When I want to add a new Product from my inter face i get the error you can see in the Attached Image "Save_Error".I think the problem is that the Relationship is defined as One-to-Many,there a way to define the relationship as Zero-to-Many.
Tried to search for this, maybe I am searching the wrong term.
Anyways.. I have a table linked from a large mainframe, and what I am trying to do is trim any numbers that are 1 million and over, and still keep it a number.
I saw my question in an online tutorial once but can't find it.
I have about a thousand records and I'm just concerned about one field. I have to strip away part of the text.
Heres an example:
AFG-006/2/E AFG-006/E AFG-008/1 AFG-008/1/E
I have to strip away all of the left part from the ascii character (/)
so all the records would look like this:
AFG-006 AFG-006 AFG-008 AFG-008
I'm sure there's a way to do this with Trim, maybe Ltrim but I'm not sure how this would be done. Does anyone have any ideas. I have over 1000 records which means it wouldn't be practicle to do it manually.
Is it possible i create one master table and link few table together?? In the mdb that i attached there have 3 table - tblMaster, tblConfiguration1 and tblConfiguration2. Using the relationship to link tblMaster's field Configuration to other 2 table Configuration field but there only showing 1 table data. Is it allow in tblMaster able to show this 2 table together??
I have a new table that I added to the back end of my Access 2003 database. I compacted & repaired both the front and back and I can't see the new table in the front end still. Do you know why this is?? I can't find anything on this. thanks-
I have used the Trim function in a query and am getting an error. At first I was concatanating several fields but have cut it back to the most basic form but still receive the error. The error says that the trim expression failed. Here is the code I used:
Hi all, I have a local table that has data imported from a spreadsheet and we have discovered that one of the fields brings in trailing spaces. Since the Access DB has some querys to manaipulate the data I thought I would just create a qry that would trim the value of that field but I am getting error messages when I try to run the query. Basically it is a update query with the field value written as:-
Code: Trim([Code])
I am leaving the update field in the qry blank and it complains about it not having a destination field which is understandable so how do I go about trimming the value of a field in a query. Is it even possible ?
I have a makeup query, were i am tryin to trim one of the fields, how ever i keep getting this message,
Extra ) in query expresion 'TemplLines..[Trim([ARTNR])].'
However in the field i have typed this "ProductNumber: Trim([ARTNR])" I cannot see were i am going wrong. I have included a print screen of my query any ideas.
I have a file that I split into little code files each with their own little Code and description. Now whoever the smart one was that is making these codes and descriptions has put double spaces between some descriptions and before and after some others.
Now in excel I don't have a problem removing them. I just use the good old Trim() function. But in access like most other programs the trim function just removes the leading and trailing spaces but leaves the double spaces inside the actual strings there.
Now my question is this. Is it possible to write a query or macro that would inspect each description and search for double spaces and either remove them if their on the end/beginning of a string or replace them with a single space if they are in the inside of a string.
Basically a search and replace function i guess is what im looking for here.
