I have a form to capture client information. I would like to have the the first character of the name fields (First and Last) be automatically capitalized. How can I set the field to do this?
View RepliesI have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True
Else
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False
End If
I've search the forums...If you can find a thread that discusses this, or can give me some advice on this topic, let me know.
Is there any built-in function that will allow me to delete any text before a certain point in a record... Or perhaps a way to use the REPLACE function to do so?
All of my records look like this (They're ticker symbols):
AMZN:Amazon, Inc
WMT:Wal-Mart Inc.
A:Agilen Tech Inc
MSFT:Microsoft Inc.
I just want the company name...Unfortunately, the ticker symbols aren't always the same length, so I can't use the left or right function.
I need to delete the colon and anything to the left of the colon. I've thought of a great use of the replace function for this purpose...I used wildcards...Too bad it didn't work!
Just The Company Name: Replace([Ticker Symbol and Name],"*" & ":","")
Any ideas?
Hi all,
What can i put on a text box to limit the amount of characters entered like the 'field size' property for a table. I want to limit entry to 40 characters. Thanks in advance for any help,
M-.
like we do when we change our password, if characters are <4 or >10 then warning comes, I am making a password change button and want same thing.
I tried but could not locate any help for this. Can some body help?
Also, if put an If Text2.value = Null then
msgBox "Blank not allowed", vbcritical,"Error"
End If
While debugging I can see Null = Null but it does not give message box.
I tried everywhere in all text boxes of my db and found same thing.
Hi,
A text box on my form automatically capitalizes the fist letter of a "weekday-word".
Like when I put in "sunday" this text box converts it automatically to "Sunday".
How can I avoid this?
i would like to make a query in ma access can extract text between first and second character "/" and when there are not "/" in field it returns null.now data in my table are like below

No option1 1 100 2 145/Mechanical/0800 3 120/electrical/1620 4 131/mechanical/0200/dw-001
Now I like to make a query can extract text between first and second character "/" like below: No option1 discipline

I have a database that I imported as a comma deliminated csv file. To keep my original text comas intact I changed all the commas to semicolons before I created the csv file and imported the data. I now have a data base with semicolons in place of the original commas.
I am trying to use the update query function to change all the semicolons back to commas in one of the database fields called File_name
I have a data entry where a record in the File_name field looks like this for example
Chevrolet cavalier; red
and I want to change it so that it looks like
Chevrolet cavalier, red
I run an update query with the criteria set as Like "*;*"
and this finds all the records which have a semicolon in them
I have set the update field to "*,*"
but all this does is to change the record from
Chevrolet cavalier; red
to
*,*
Is the query update the way to go and what is the syntax that I should be using in the Update field just to change the semicolon to a comma and leave the other text intact?
thanks Mark
I'm having trouble converting text to proper text in Access 2010 using Windows 8.1 as OS.
The message I keep getting is:
The expression you entered contains invalid syntax. You omitted an operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or comma, or you entered text without surrounding it in quotation marks.
The formula I use is:
strconv([field],3)
I am using Access 2007. I recently converted my table field from text to memo. When I run a query and report linked to the qry the memo text is displayed as Chinese character or square box (if field is empty). In some forum posts this is shown as a font bug e.g. with Calibri. I changed from Calibri to Arial as this was reported to correct the bug. It did not work.
My field is set to Grow and Shrink, and table font is Rich Text also as mentioned in other posts. Still not working out.
I have a file that I need to import on a regular basis. There are two different issues with the import:
1. the first digit in the file indicates if it is a record I want to keep. In this case a 1 indicates a repair record and an 8 indicates it is just information such as email, contact info etc.
2. I have a field in the file that may change the import specifications
For example:
If the record is a Non wheel repair then column 167 is a 50 character description
If the record is Wheel repair then column 167 is a 28 character description and the remaining 22 characters are broken down into 10 different fields
So I need to do the following
1. Read the first character in the line and determine if it is a number 1 and if not discard it
2. Read a field in column 109 that is two characters long and if it says it is a wheel repair the import will break column 167 -216 down to the appropriate 11 fields and if it is a non wheel repair it will import columns 167 - 216 as one big description field.
I have used the import specifications with Access but it seems this will have to be done in code in a module or something and I am not very good with VB. (only know the basics)
One other issue is I have dates in the file that are 130225 and 1302 (so full date and then Year/Month) if i take out the / date separator in the import spec the full date works but the Year/Month doesn't.
I have a field that is all Lower Case. I need the first Character to be UPPER CASE...
Does anyone out there know how I can write a query to do this?
PLease help....
THanks in advance
Hello, Tried a search but could'nt come up with an answer.
I have a number field with an amount.
The format will always change as far as the LEN is concerned.
I need to remove the decimal.
There will always be 2 numbers to the right of the decimal but the left will always change.
Example:
21543.11 Need 2154311
11.20 Need 1120
Thanks in advance! :)
I posted an earlier question about an Access query export to Excel putting leading apostophe (') before all data.
To remove them I thought I would use Find/Replace but the Apostophe is not recognised!
Is there a way (programmatically) to remove the first character of each data entry in each cell in a column?
thanks in advance

My undertsanding is that text fields are limited to 255 characters. A friend has a databse with some "notes" type fields with data a few sentences long. Is there any way around this limit. If not, what database recommendations can anyone make for someone who needs a questionnaire component in his database?

I was wondering if its possible to.... In my business, we test electronic components. When one fails, it gets documented as a test error, and the document is named TE-XXXX YYY where XXXX is a four digit number and YYY is a code of some sort. is it possible that in a table, When TE-XXXX YYY is entered, it only recognizes "TE-XXXX" which hyperlinks to microsoft word document in a folder that gives more information about the test error. Thanks in advance!

I have a field that has to be 20 Characters long. Most of the time data for this field is less than 20 characters, so the remaining has to be filled with spaces to make it 20. e.g. if there is a record xyz1234567, then the rest of the record should have 10 spaces like xyz1234567ssssssssss, meaning if i click on this record then the cursor should not blink after 7 but after the spaces. Hope I am making sense.
Thanks for any input.
Someone used the asterisk (actually, 2 of them **) character in a field to 'mark' it for querying. Since it is a wildcard, how do I query the field to show only the records with "**" in it? What is the best way to remove them using an update query???
Thanks in advance for ANY help.
Hello.
I'm using a filter that contain # as one of the characters that the field might contain.
I get some very inetersting results.
using
"select fld1
from tbl1
where fld1 not like 'D#%'
"
Lets' say that the values for fld1(text type) are :
Dodo
D# cc
The query above will return the 2 records, it is "egnoring" the filter.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been beating myself up over this for the past few days and have not found a feasible workaround yet, including searching this forum repeatedly.
I have a listbox which is tied to the below query:
SELECT tbl_csraws.priority, tbl_csraws.rawname, tbl_csraws.description, tbl_csraws.sqlcode, IIf(tbl_csraws.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') AS enabled, tbl_csraws.creator, tbl_csraws.createdate FROM tbl_csraws ORDER BY IIf(tbl_csraws.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') DESC , tbl_csraws.priority
The listbox only shows the second column to the user, and upon selecting one of the options, fills in text boxes on my form for the remaining information. The description field is a memo field on the table, but when a user selects an option from the list box where the description is greater than 255 characters in length, it cuts the remaining amount off, so if they save the changes without replacing the removed characters, it will cause problems with my database. Has anyone found a workaround for this problem?
Thanks!
