Access 2013 Memo Field Duplicating

Sep 16, 2015

I often get revised versions of a record and make a duplicate and edit as needed.

In 13 my memo fields do not keep line structure

line 1
line 2
line3

Instead they be come one big continuous string of text.

line 1 line 2 line3

At least a space is added before each line.

Is there a fix or is this just something we have to live with?

Of note I am using my office's Dell laptop that was just "upgraded" to Win8.1 why not 10 beats me... 7 was so much better that 8 or 8.1.

I would like to be able to create an Iif field for Field 3 where a check mark is automatically inserted in Field 3 IF Field 1 - Field 2 <or= 0, otherwise I'd like Field 3 to remain empty.

2013 - Access Recapitalizes First Character Of Field Names

Feb 17, 2014

I have a very experienced colleague who has Access 2013 and has the following issue:

For some reason, Access keeps recapitalizing the first character of the field names when I save, close, and reopen the table in design view! I just spent several hours lower casing prefixes only to discover after I ran a routine to extract the field names that they had been recapitalized!

I've fiddled with turning off Autocorrect, but that seems to do nothing positive for me. How to turn this feature OFF?

Access Inserting A Space In Memo Field

Apr 15, 2015

I like to store SQL code as a memo field in a table. I then use a form to collect selection criteria from the user, and this is used to create a 'WHERE' clause which is then appended to the stored SQL. This has always worked, but in one recent case the SQL failed. On examination I discovered that although the SQL is correctly stored in the memo field, when Access retrieves the code it inserts a space character in the middle of one of the words, thereby of course creating an invalid SQL string. It's easy to work around it, but why this happens? A bug in Access?

Importing Data From Excel To Memo Field In Access Is Truncated After 255 Characters

Nov 16, 2007

I haven't seen anyone run into this particular problem on this forum...

I'm importing data from an excel spreadsheet to an MS Access (2007) table. One of the fields in the table is a text memo field able to support more than 255 characters...

Issue:
The issue is that any cell in Excel that is greater than 255 characters is truncated when imported to MS Access even though the field is a memo field. There isn't any documentation on Microsoft's website about this and I don't see any way to work around it other than manually copying the data from excel to MS Access.

Anyone have any input on this matter?

Thanks in advance!

Modules & VBA :: Access Memo Field Copy To Excel Truncates At 255 Characters

Nov 25, 2013

Two Solutions to address moving an Access Memo field into Excel when string has > 255 characters. All my 'reports' use Excel VBA (Access Reports are not used). The Excel reports can have 40,000 records. Speed to create the report can be an issue.

Describing 2 Solutions below to address moving Access memo fields with > 255 characters into Excel.After running this code

Code:
720 ObjXL.DisplayAlerts = False
ObjXL.Columns("X:X").Select
ObjXL.Selection.NumberFormat = "@" ' set column to Text
730 ObjXL.Worksheets(intWorksheetNum).Cells(intRowPos, 1).CopyFromRecordset rsNutsAndBolts

The Comments column are limited to 255 characters. So, the CopyFromRecordset (recordsetvariable) creates the 255 character limitation.

The reason? The 255 character limit is because CopyFromRecordset sutomatically uses the Characters property of the Range object. The 255 limit would not be there if the Cell Value property is used to assign the string to that cell.

Dim sRx as String ' String Prescription
sRx = "String with > 255 characters ... you fill in the rest ...."
Cells(1, 1).Value = sRx ' Cell's Value property assignment can be very large

Solution 1:

The record set is still in memory. By using a loop, a cursor can start with record 1 (memo column) and assign that value to the Excel row / column using the .value as shown above. Basically, this moves one memo field at a time, record by record. e.g. Read First recordset in Access, copy to variable, assign value to Excel row/column Then move next on each Access and Excel.

Solution 2:

An Access Memo filed [RxNotes] can have up to 750 characters. Cut it apart into three new fields that end up out in the very right Excel columns AA, AB, AC.

Note1=Mid([RxNotes],1,250)
Note2=Mid([RxNotes],251,250)
Note3=Mid([RxNotes],501,250)
Then using Excel Object - Concat the cells back cell by cell...
X2=CONCATENATE(AA2,AB2,AC2))

Then delete the columns AA, AB, AC to hide the evidence..Neither solution is all that elequent. Read about this and by golly, it made a difference

ConcatComments = "'" & CommentString

Before using the CopyFromRecordset be sure to add a single quote in front of the large string.

Turns out the interface between Access and Excel look for this to prepare Excel immediately for the string to be a string, not something else. Some of my strings had weird print characters that kind of looked like Japenese characters. It seemed random, it always happened if the string was 255 or more characters (ramdonly, not always). The single quote doesn't show up in Excel, but got rid of all the noise.

Duplicating Field And Format Change

Feb 9, 2007

First off a big thank you to this forum... have solved a lot of questions I have had and some I never knew I had. Keep in mind this is all from a non-programmer so my question(s) might not be technically sound.

The issue I have is I have built a database to track documents that we process. It is uses an autonumber and that has worked great. The issue is eventually this document gets processed in our accounting system and I want to retrieve data from there and add it to the document record.

I figured out how to like the ODBC database and that worked, but I get an expression error. The field in the ODBC database is text and in Access it is an Autonumber.

Is there a way to copy the autonumber field and change it to text property to align with the other database?

All help welcome and appreciated.

Option Compare Database
Private Sub cmd_Hide_dbw_Click()
Call fSetAccessWindow("Minimize", False, False)
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Test", acNormal
End Sub

[Code] .....

Do the following sequence...............

Open the Test Database. DO NOT ENABLE CONTENT
The Access 'Ribbon'Test_Database.accdb is active and usable
Open frm_Test in Design View in order to inspect, all should be as shown above.
Now click the Enable Content warning

Different First Page Footer In MS Access 2013

Apr 7, 2015

Using MS Access 2013, part of Office 365, I am trying to construct a report that has a different first page footer than the rest of the document. Googling for answers has produced a few options, but none that seem to work. I have virtually no VBA knowledge. I was hoping that there might be some code that I could place in a label in the footer and have it work.

General :: Access 2013 - Compact Database To New Name

Jan 30, 2015

Access 2013 ... Is it possible to compact a database to a new name?

(In previous incarnations of Access I regularly 'compacted and repaired' databases to USB sticks rather than simply copy the file in the (mistaken??) belief that this was a more reliable approach)...

I can't see where to do this in Access 2013!

we are moving from Access 2003 to 2013 using Windows 8.1 64bits. We used Leban's code and library to create and merge pdfs. C

Creating pdfs can be done with built-in functionality in Access 2013. But I can't find a way of merging pdfs. I've tried Leban's Dlls files but I am getting run-time error: "File not found:StrStorage.dll" do I need to do something extra to make Leban's code work on Windows 8 64bits ?

General :: How To Sum Multiple Columns In Access 2013

Nov 28, 2014

I made a new column in a table in access. The table is not linked and linking unfortunately is not an option. In the new column, I want to create a sum for 5 years of funding. There are multiple columns for a different fiscal year.

In excel, it is simply =sum(range), but I am drawing completely blank how to fill in the column with the sum data.

The end result is the data from 4 tables will be displayed in Forms and Reports.

Essentially what I need is an ability to bulk update a column in access table without a need to reupload the entire datasheet (over 100k rows with about 30 columns).

Transferring Data From MS Excel To MS Access 2013

Mar 27, 2014

I am setting up a database using Access 2013, and am trying to test downloading files from Excel. For some reason it is not allowing me to have more then 4 columns in the excel file, it gives the error "Subscript out of range". I thought it was the type of variable at first, but when I tried deleting different columns on both files, the transfer always worked with 4 columns. How do I allow more columns to be transferred?Also, is there a way to not include the row numbers of the excel file as an ID column and only include the ID given in the first column?
