I have a database containing a mixture of upper and lower case input. I can make upper case appear on the screen by using > in the format box in the property section for each field. This works great but the same old uncorrected stuff remains on the database. How can I get the database to store the corrected upper case data after I have entered it in lower case?
View RepliesIs there any way of making data that is inputted in lower case to automatically change to the first letter of each word being a capital ...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a field in the table that contains numbers and a mix of upper and lower case words.
I would like to have this to it check for numbers and then makes the first letter in a word upper case and the remainder lower case.
I know you can do it like this >L<????????? but that dow not work if the word lengths are different. Unless I am missing soemthing.
Example of text in field is this:
100 RCSCC MAJOR PAIN
I would like the RCSCC to remain in UPPERCASE and then move to the next work and change the first letter to UPPER CASE and the remaining letters lower case then repeat this on the next word if there is one in the field.
Thanks for all your help.

Sorry I found it. Just in a little rush.. Should have looked harder.
I supply data to our customer for their system, a single table listing 1.9 millon records. 1 of the 7 fields is unique but the rest in the table can contain duplicated data.
My problem is caplial letters vs lower case.
How can I query my table to find just the mixed and lower case versions of for example "BIRMINGHAM" ie "birmingham" or "Birmingham". My customers system is rejecting the Data due to some lower case entries.
:confused:Any help appricated

Any ideas how to Capitalise data in a table.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI need to convert an entire table to lower case..
The table happens to only have one column in it, so each record only has one field..
How do I convert the entire thing to lower case?
I can not just convert the display info to lower case, this table is used as a cross-reference data table and I need to physically convert all the data in the entire table to lower case.
Oh, and I need this to be a macro of some sort, since the data is re-imported on a regular basis, and will re-convert to upper case on the import.
Thanks,
Bill
Hi

Hi,
Is it possible to filter out entries beginning with a capital letter with a query?
Ive tried Like UCase, but that doesn't work, and there is no upper case wild card.
(I am creating a book index and want to have a look only at the entries that are people's names)
many thanks
Just been searching around, found a few posts of uppercase questions, none that quite fit with mine, anyway,
Basically, the data I am working on produces names as such "JoeBloggs" "FredPerry"
Anyway, Im going to use a query to seperate these out into first name and last name, but, I can't seem to find a way to specify a capital letter as a wild card. So far:
CapPos: InStr(2,[calllogs]![CalledNumber],"A")
Then I am going to use the mid function to seperate the two, depending on the position of the first capital letter.
But I just need to replace "A" with something that will find any capital letter.
Cheers
hi i have lots of postcodes in various access tables i pasted in from excel..
such as... e1,e3,e5,n1,n11
i need to make all the postcode letters capital like this E4,E5,N12...
without using find and replace.. is there any way in excel or access to change them in bulk because it will take far to long manually.
Hi All, A quick question..
Is there a quick way to change about 5000 primary keys fields from lower case to uppercase?
Thanks Anna :)
Hi All,
I want to change existing entries in a table to upper case format. I know that it is possible with a query (update I suppose) using an expression with the "UPPER" function. But I am not quite sure how to implement it in Access. A little help would be welcome...
When I type the first letter I into the search text area I get the following error
Run-time error '2110'
Microsoft Access can't move the focus to the control SearchResults
Most of the code is below
QRY-SearchAll
SELECT Clients.ClientId, Clients.ClientFileNumber, Clients.ClientShortFileNo, Clients.Salutation, Clients.FirstName, Clients.LastName, [Group Branches].BranchCode, Clients.Phone, Clients.Mobile, Clients.Fax, Clients.BpayRef, Clients.TradingAs, Clients.EntityType, Clients.ABN, Clients.ACN, Clients.Address1, Clients.Address2, Clients.Town, Clients.State, Clients.PostCode, Clients.Country, Clients.Email, Clients.ClientGroup, Clients.DateCreated, Clients.Notes, Clients.LastModified, Clients.UserCode, Clients.BdmCode, Clients.CollLongNo, Clients.CollShortNo,
[Code] ....
what do I do so that when I type into a field the first character becomes an Upper case automatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a small issue where I do have names written in UPPER CASE, I would like to transform them in Capitalized (each word), I understand that I cannot use the same function as in excel (PROPER) but something like StrConv, but as I do have a ‘comma’ in between the names I have something like that
Code:
StrConv(Left(Tbl_Telephony_Temp.Agent, InStr(Tbl_Telephony_Temp.Agent, ",")-1), 3)&", "&StrConv(Mid(Tbl_Telephony_Temp.Agent, InStr(Tbl_Telephony_Temp.Agent, ",") + 1), 3) AS CompleteName
Which as you can see is quite a complex statement, how can I simplify it?
Example of a name: VITOR, FONSECA, preferable output, Vitor, Fonseca
table name : Schedule
Field 1 = Vessel code
Field 2 = Voyage
Field 3 = ETA
Field 4 = berthed
Field 5 = Sailed
there is a query by using above table and data entry form based on that query.
need to add following facilitate
While data entering, if given voyage number is already exist for the particular vessel code, msg should be pop up immediately at that time saying " This voyage number is already exist"
How could this be manage ?
I have a form that allows a user to complete a stock take. I would like to stop other users from receiving or despatching stock while a stock take is in progress.
Is there a way I can lock a table, or stop users adding or altering records that match certain criteria. i.e. don't let users receive or despatch stock from with a locationID of 'A'.
I have a form, and on the form there is a Provider Rate which is a combo box, if the user select a zero rate, then it has the description please enter manual rate in box below. There is another box which the user can enter a manual rate.
how I can limit entry into these boxes, as currently a user can select a rate in the provider rate box and still enter something into the manual rate box. I want it so that if a rate other than zero has been selected in the provider rate box, then they can't enter anything into the manual rate cell.
I am using Access 2002.I am going to be producing a macro that imports a txt file. Once the text file is imported there will be a empty field for a date value. Nothing in the file that is being imported will have a date in it.
I would like to (if possible) to, once the file is in the table, open an input box asking the user for a date (formated as YYYY-MM-DD) and once the date has been entered and the ok button pressed it inputs that date in to all records in the date field.
I tried to revive an old post in the "General" section with this question, but it doesn't look like many people are looking at it. I figured it wouldn't upset the posting gods too much if I posted it here, since the the question is concerning queries.
I'm starting out with an excel sheet that looks like this:
Company Name..........Employee
Jones Electric............Kyle Brown
Jones Electric............Chris Ford
Jones Electric............Matt Daniels
Is there a way for access to make it look like this?
Company Name..........Employee..........Employee 2..........Employee 3
Jones Electric............Kyle Brown........Chris Ford............Matt Daniels
Thanks a lot, guys. I'll be sure to link the old post to this one.
I'm attempting to build an import module so that my users can take data from different walks of life and import it into my tables. I'm doing this by setting up a module and allowing the user to specify which column data will come from when importing data. So lets say I have a field that is CustomerID in my table and user one pulls data from 1 place and in his excel or csv file, customerid is in field 1. Another user does the same thing and its in field 2.
How can i make some form of a loop that when I'm attempting to update data, i pull the correct column?
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblImportTable"
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
With rst
Do While .EOF = False
If IsNull(DLookup("DefaultValue", "dbo_tblImportTemplateDetails", "Template_ID=" & Forms!frmImport!TemplateName & " AND FieldName='CustomerID'")) Then
[code]....
I am trying to filter data in a table using vba where I have a split form setup. My goal is to filter data where the user can input a character such as "a" for the "FirstName" field and have results from the table filtered with persons first name that starts with "a". Here is my code so far one of the text boxes.
Private Sub txtFirstName_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.Filter = "" Then
'Compares the values that begin with the input values in txtFirstName
'text box from the table field name FirstName
Me.Filter = FirstName & " LIKE '" & txtFirstName & "*'"
[Code] .....
I get a error in the else statement and please note that I am linking this form to an sql server so I can not delete or modify existing data in the table.
I have a table with product numbers and their cost. That table has 3 fields : SKU, Cost, Month. (The cost can change every month, therefore the list is built to have a cost / month)
I want the user to be able to input the data in the table using the form but I would like the form to be sorted Alphanumerically for the SKU numbers and then per month (in their normal order not alphanumerically).
I have a combobox (named month for testing purposes) to force the user to select one of the 12 months and the field type is Text.
Also I am unsure how to "autosort" (or apply a permanent sort) the form whenever it's opened. Will it be applied if I just set the sort and then restrict the user from seeing let's see design mode?
