Best Way Of Splitting String Of 110 Chrs In To 110 Fields?
Nov 16, 2007
I have a txt file that I'd like to import, which contains answers to a test. The number of questions on the test varies year to year, but this year there are 110 (split in to two sections).
I'd like to import the file, so each answer is a field, and then score the answers against a 'correct' answer lookup table.
What's the best way of approaching this? I first thought of using vba to read the text file, split the text, and then use an SQL command to insert to to my table. This seems tedious (there are around 6500 respondents).
Anything else I could do instead?
Thanks,
Antro.

Hey people,
This should be any easy one to solve:
I need to split a field in my query into two separate fields, e.g fullname into a first and last name, so "John Smith" will appear in two columns, "John" and "Smith".
Thanks in advance.

I have made a system for managing service calls and fieldworks.Part of this is checking the boards we install/service are working correctly.When the engineer calls in, we check the board - enter serial number, via ODBC talks to main server DB and pulls back what is listed below, along with ID and date/time which is all displayed in a list box.
9853911264,W-AMR,3,2:320:0:52,MAIN STORE,3.57,0,18,001.004.041,0,0*75
This works fine. In the string above are certain bits of information that need to be checked to ensure they are accurate and the board has been programmed correctly. What I want to do it, is when the user single clicks on the list box, it parses out the various sections of the above string and enters them into some text fields on the form. With some code these can then be checked to see if they are correct or not and alert the user if they are or not.
The checking part I can do, the part I am struggling with is parsing out the correct parts from the string.The parts will be the same parts required each time, and the string parts wont vary, just not sure how to go about it.

I know there are many posts on this but still cannot find what I want ....
I have a string ....
... <surname>bloggs</surname> <fornames>Jane</fornames> etc.etc.
... <surname>williams</surname> <forenames>Jo</fornames> etc.etc.
In a query I know how to:
Find the Start and End Postions as follows:
StartSurnamePos: InStr([string],"<surname>") returns 19
EndSurnamePos: InStr([string],"</surname>") returns 34
I also know that by adding 8 to StartSurnamePos I can get Bloggs but how do I stop it there.
Using left, Right or Mid how do I pull out just
bloggs Jane
Williams Jo in seperate fields?
Thanks in advanced.

I have a table field which long ago was merged from several other fields. When the data was merged into the field it was delimited by "1." then "2." up to "5."
Example: MergedField = "1.Animal 2.Large 3.African 4.Grey 5.Long Nose"
I now want to split it appart in a query where "1.Animal" goes into expression1, "2.Large" goes into expression2, etc.
I need to base the text on where the one number begins and grab everything until the next number in the mergefield is detected.
Can someone show me the syntax for this.
Thanks!

I have a table where I want to break longer strings into three-character strings.
So... for example the data item "Forest," I'd like to generate "FOR" "ORE" "RES" "EST" and write all four to another table, allowing for duplication. Alternately, we could make a list and just count the unique 3-character strings. The end goal here is to measure the frequency of 3-character strings across a set of data.
how to do this with an Access query?

Hi,
I have a an address field in my current MS Access table that has records following this sort of format eg. 21 Brown St, 21/56 Smith St
I want to separate every word in this field in to it's own field eg. field1=21
field2=Brown
field3=St
Addresses come in different formats (see examples above, with / or - etc.)
I'd like some code to complete this in VBA - please note I'm very new to programming so unfortunately everything must be explained.
Thanks

Hi All
Been handed a contacts database, one field of the DB includes all the industry sectors associated with the customer, with multiple industry references separated only by a comma within the field (e.g. Insurance-Life,Insurance-Broking,Insurance-Motor,Insurance-Pensions,Insurance-Home,Insurance-Health) – I want to split this one field into multiple fields using the comma as the break point (this is something that’s relative easy to do in Excel with the ‘Text to Columns’ tool – but unfortunately it can’t take the 130,000 odd records of the databasel)
Can any one recommend an expression or method that will see the 6 industry references split into 6 separate fields ?
Thanks
Jim

I have one field called FULL_ADDRESS. From that field I am going to populate two other fields. One called ADD_1 and the other, ADD_2.
In the FULL_ADDRESS field I have the following text :
"BOX 2747 ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE AB T4T 1L7"
I want ADD_1 updated to:
"BOX 2747 ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE AB"
and ADD_2 updated to:
"T4T 1L7"
While I understand how to do an update if I was using a space as a reference, i.e.
Trim(Left([FULL_ADDRESS],Instrrev([FULL_ADDRESS]," ")-1))
Trim(Mid([FULL_ADDRESS],Instrrev([A]," ")+1))
I can't figure out how to skip the first space from the right, and reference to the second occurring space, so that I get "T4T 1L7" to populate the ADD_2 field, and everything to the left of "T4T 1L7" placed in the ADD_1 field.

I am new to MS Access, and am not sure if what I want to do is even possible. It is my understanding that comparing subsequent cells within a field in a database cannot be done- so I thought I'd see if there is a way to go around it.
I have a dataset for pedestrian activity, with over 3 million rows and 40 columns - too big for excel to handle.
I need to sort the entire dataset by 2 fields, following which I need to search down the field containing my pedestrian ids (numbered 1, 2, 3... till approx 10000), and when my ped id changes from one to the next, I need to check the value in a field showing the ped location, and if that matches with the ped's previous location, I need to copy out a cell corresponding to the previous cell's time stamp. If it doesn't match, I need to copy out another time stamp from another field.

Hey guys-
I have 2 tables- and need to find the record matches between them via their product code. Table 1 has the code as follows (and is considered 'the Master List')-
xxx-xx-xxx Where x is an integer.
Table 2 has split the 3 sections of the code out to 3 individual fields, like this-
Field1 Field2 Field3
xxx xx xxx
I need a query that will combine the 3 fields in table 2 to the same format as Table1 so that I can find the matches between them. I know this is a basic question, but I'm a learning newbie. How would I write that in a query? I don't think I want to write the format to the table- just include it in the query somehow...
Thanks!

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 am currently creating a database for lift inspections. The output is a mail-merge report. What I am trying to do is get the multiple Lift Name (child) and Floors Served (child) combined into a string so that each Lift Group (parent) inspection has only one row. This then means that each lift group inspection will be shown as one record in mail merge.
Current
Lift Group ID - Date of Inspection - Lift Name - Floors Served
34 - 14/01/14 - Lift 1 - G-1
34 - 14/01/14 - Lift 2 - 1-3
35 - 14/01/14 - Lift 3 - G-8
34 - 14/01/13 - Lift 1 - G-1
34 - 10/10/13 - Lift 2 - 1-3
Desired:
Lift Group ID - Date of Inspection - Floors Served
34 - 14/01/14 - Lift 1 G-13; Lift 2 1-3
35 - 14/01/14 - Lift 3 G-8
34 - 10/10/13 - Lift 1 G-13; Lift 2 1-3

Getting ready to split a DB. No security really needed... Only the ability for multiple users needed. From what I have read here so far it seems best to use a MDE file on the front end and MDB file on the back end. One question is still not answered... I guess I will find out when I load the front ends on different stations.. BUT... I would like to know what to expect. I am assuming that each computer that I load the front end on I will have to go through and link the backend. Correct? I read a MS Knowledge base article about a form to do this... Is this only possible if you use the "developers edition" ??? Whats the common method for this task?
Thanks

I have created an application that uses all the 'normal' factors of an access app. My forms are triggered by events that initiate some vba code which executes and then does something. No big whoop, we are all doing this; but I am going freakin' insane keeping up with changes. The users are using this app in a "live" test enviroment and the changes/updates are coming in quicker than I can type. "This field is not right it should read like this"
Well I can't change it until everyone gets out - they don't like this answer:D
I jumped in before thinking a few versions ahead and did not split the database :eek: I have read a lot of posts here and other sites and I can tell that I need to split this app but am a bit hesitant. From what I can gather I would have a
Front-End - houses all my queries and forms
Back-End - houses all my tables
I have a few modules, where would they need to go so that I can work on them independent of what my users are doing?
I would give each user a copy of the FE or make it available via network drive; would I then keep a seperate copy of my FE to make changes? If yes, does this mean my modules would be in the FE?
Can I split the db now that it has been in live production? What are some common errors that I should look for prior to?
I tried to split the db one time before, but my drop down list box(s) on the forms would not work. They are controlled by a query, not any code. Error msg stated could not find xyz sorry I don't recall the exact error
I need the ability to change, work on and update at will AND NOT effect my users.

Hello,
I have been reading a lot about splitting databases on this forum. I still have some questions.
1) Will the FE (Front End) still show the tables?
2) Will users still be able to edit the forms, reports, etc.?
3) Will my code be hidden
4) Will all the users have up to date data showing when they open the Database?
5) Can more than one person open and input data in the database at the same time?
I also want to make an MDE copy, do I split first or make the MDE and then split?
The whole point is the following: I want the people (maximum 10) that will be using this database to only be able to do enter and view data. They should be able to generate the reports but not create new reports. I only want ONE person to be able to edit the forms, code, and reports. How would I do this.
Your help is much appreciated

Hi,
I've split a database and the backend relationships are still intact but the front end they are not and it looks like this is causing a problem. Is this usual?

Can anyone tell me how to do it. Do I have to create another field which separates out the month, and if so, how do I do that.

Hi everybody,
I have been spending the last few days trying to find a way through the "access security Maze" which I believe I have just done. I have been following the "Ms Access Security Faq to the letter" and just now, I can open the database via a desktop shortcut including a custom workgroup address and I think everything is working fine. Now, I am trying to organise the next step which is splitting the application.
GHudson stated:
I find it easier to start out with one database that has everything in it
[including the security]. Then I copy the db. Rename them so that one is the
front end, one is the back end. The security will still be in both since they are
exact copies. Then remove the shared tables from the front end, remove
everything else from the back end [except the tables that will be shared].
Then relink the shared tables from the front end to the back end.
Using custom shortcuts will make it easier for the users to open the front
end with the correct workgroup. You can customize the shortcuts target
field with all the required file and workgroup info.
I Understand prtty well what's being said but am getting a bit confused of where and how the different part of the application should be organised on the network:
*The back end file should be on the network drive(drive F)
-That's fine...
*The front end should be distributed only on the station using the application:
1) Does that mean that I could place the FE on the F drive for a short
while and ask the different user to copy the application and past it on their own drive and then delete the FE of the share drive.
2) I will have to use the custom shortcut with the specific work group on each station. Should they all have the same shortcut which would mean that there is only one FE on the F drive and not make much sense or Should the shortcut link to the FE application save on their drive which doesn't make much sense either because they could open the DataBase without the shortcut with their own "default" Workgroup and wouldn't be secure anymore.
I apologize for my confusion and have probably missed a basic step in my reasonning but if anybody could redirect me in the right direction, I would really be gratefull.

I setup my security (or lack there of, hehe) and split the database. I relinked the tables.
Now, Access gets hung up when I try to create an MDE of the FE to distribute. It starts the process, asking me to select a folder and file name, I do that, and it gets no further in the process. Access says (not responding).
Should I have created the MDE before I split it? Or does crashing of Access have nothing to do with whether i create the MDE before or after splitting?

Hi, hope someone here has experience with this issue.
Our system was recently converted to much tighter secured network environment and moved to Office 2003 (still Windows XP).
Within the next couple of weeks we expect to split/secure our new db for shared use across a network (approx. 6-8 users at any one time).
I want to keep the db in 2000 as long as possible because I'm doing lots of the work at home and that's what I have. After deployment there will be lots more changes but in managed releases. (sounds official, eh?...)
Does anyone know of any risks I'm running by keeping it in 2000 within Access2003?
Thanks very much,
