I have a table with about 20.000 records.
From this table I would like to "search" in a column the field that holds the text with the most characters.
Is there a way to find this with a formula or expression?
I need to query a field for any records where this field has less that 10 characters. Any suggestions? The reason is depending on the type of customer the field can be 10 or 11 digits. IF there are less than 10 but not blank they need to be pulled for correction.

If not, how about counting the number of characters in a string?
I have a table with acct numbers of various lengths, ie:
246
18
36895
352119
472
I need to run a query so that all of the acct numbers are 8 characters long with zeros as placeholders in front of the actual acct numbers, ie:
00000246
00000018
00036895
00352119
00000472
I tried using the expression NewAcctNo: 00000000+[AcctNo], but that did not fix the problem.
Hi guys,
Im using Access
i got this problem:
I have a list of street numbers, eg 1, 4, 8, 33, 44, and also some that contain some alphanumeric characters: eg: 21A, 21B, 21C.
I need to find out how to determine if a string has an alphanumeric character or not. I have used the access help but it is very vague and also Ive googled. One answer I found was to write a module, but Im not sure if thats the best way.
Please help as Im really stuck.
thanks in advance.

I have a table with ID1, ID2, and AMT.
IF ID2 is NULL, I want to update it with the non-null ID2 where the ID1 matches and has the largest sum of AMT.
For instance
ID1 ID2 SUM(AMT)
1 333 1000
1 444 3000
1 <null> 5000
In this case, the third ID2 would get the value of 444 since it had the highest amt.
I'm guessing this involves sub-queries, and I have a real blind spot where they are concerned.
Thanks,
David

I have 3 Tables with relationships between Pupils to Read and Books to Read:
Pupils ID, Forename, Surname
Books - BookID, Book, Author, Level, Genre
Read - ID, BookID, DateOut
On another thread in the forum I got to the position of the code below. However this code does not select only the read book with the biggest(latest) date, the Max, it displays all Read books.
SELECT Pupils.ID, Max (Read.DateOUT) AS MaxOfDateOut Books.Book
FROM (Books) RIGHT JOIN (Read) ON Books.BookID = Read.BookID) RIGHT JOIN Pupils ON Read.ID = Pupils.Id
GROUP BY Pupils.Id, Books.Book
HAVING (((Books.Book)<>"Blank"));

I Have Created A Client Reference Allocation Screen Which Makes The Clients Reference From Details In A Number Of Text Boxes.
For Example:
Client Number: 0010, Forename: Andrew, Surname: Bloggs, Year: 2007,
Occupation: Driver.
Client Reference = 0010ab-dr07
I Have Copied The Text Boxes So The Information Is Automatically Displayed To Create The Client Reference, But Rather Than Shortening The Copied Text Boxes To Show Only The First Few Characters Is There A Way Of Limiting The Number Of Characters Shown In The Copied Text Boxes??

I need to find the latest number using a query.
All of the numbers follow this format:
[Doc No]
ABCD123
but the tricky part is the number could be suffixed with a revision. It is the latest revision I would like to find. For example, If I have a number followed by 3 revisions I would have:
[Doc No]
ABCD123
ABCD123+200
ABCD123+300
ABCD123+400
I need a query to give me the latest revision, in this case
[Doc No]
ABCD123+400
There is a possibility there are no revisions in which case the latest will be
[Doc No]
ABCD123.
How is this possible in a query???
I have an address database where people have been allowed to type in any characters they want in place of just leaving a missing field blank. For instance the Zip code was not a required field (don't as me why because I don't know. It just wasn't) so over the years when the person entering the data didn't know what the zip code was they would put a ?, a 0, a 000 or a period or what ever else they could think of at the time.
I would like to add a filter in my query where I could eliminate any thing with less then a certain amount of characters.
I thought something like this would do the trick
Zip: IIf(Len([V_ZIP]<5),[V_ZIP],"0")
But I am getting a data type mismatch in criteria expression. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
Have a strings like this
Code:

Code:

Is there any possibilites to write a function which find number in string, even if some part (between ";" and ";") has number and text (like 762c)?
if there is number in string then function is true

I am trying to create a DB that would calculate the totals of different projects and also calculate the global total (i.e. the total of all the projects combined together)
So far I have created a query that can calculate the total of the projects in a field which I have named Total1. But now I want to calculate the sum of the field Total1, i.e. add all the totals of the projects up.
Sorry my explanation does seem quite lengthy, any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Simple question really (if you know your VBA)...
Have a field which contains records of strings of alphabetic characters i.e.
ADGHJLP
BCEFHIJKLMOPST
etc
Need to be able to separate these characters with a '/' so that the field reads
A/D/G/H/J/L/P
B/C/E/F/H/I/J/K/L/M/O/P/S/T
etc
I know it'll be a For..Next loop of some kind but can't seem to get the syntax correct.
Any help appreciated.
cheers,
Alex

Hello,
I want to remove the first four characters from a field in a query.
The data are not always the same length, but it will always be the first four.
Example.
vmc_ml120e21/p -> ml120e21/p
Is that possible and how??
Thanks in advance.
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?
Is there documentation/reading out there on how to query fields and take only a certain number of characters from said field?
We are setting up a user database on a 3rd party web application and they have a 15 character username limit so we want to pull the first 3 letters of a persons first name, middle initial, and first 4 letters of a persons last name to use as the username. We have an Access database will all of this information but I am not sure what the correct query is to complete this task.
