I've purchased & downloaded this Zip Code Database which has every Zip zcode in the U.S. which I use for different projects/reasons. The problem is, ALL of the data is upper case letters. I was wondering if in Access (or Excel) is there any way I could convert all of the letters (except the first letter) from upper case to lower case letters?
View RepliesMy database is now live within our office and is working fine.
The databases which I have imported the data from, where done by my dad, who being old fashioned, used CAPS for everything he typed. So for quite alot of the data, its all caps, and it would be great, but not essential if we could revert the text to normal sentences.
Is there any trick or code that I could run that would go through certain tables and reformat the text in to a better format??
Is 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 ...

Is there a way of changing the case of text that has been entered in a table?
Want a form to display capitalised names, say, no matter how they were entered. Know that they can be displayed in all caps using >.
Thanks
I 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.

I have a field in a table that is comprised of mostly numerical data but some records are text.
I want to convert this field to numerical only and make a new field to put the textual data in.
However converting the field will delete the textual data. What is the easiest way to convert the field but save the textual data AND append the textual data to the SAME record that they were in originally in the new field?
I have made attempts at this but none have worked, so I am looking for guidence.
What I creating is a database that I can track students and their community service hours.
I have made several versions but I figured the experts could point me in the right direction.
So far I created two tables:
tblStudents
STUDENT_NAME - Text
HOURS_GIVEN - Long Integer
tblHours
STUDENT_NAME - text Links to tblStudent
DATE_COMPLETED - Date
HOURS_COMPLETED - Long Integer
I created a form "frmStudent" with the following:
a drop box to chose a student name from "tblStudent"
a text box "txtSTUDENT_NAME"
another text box "txtHOURS_GIVEN"
another text box "HOURS_REMAINING"
Then I have a subform that has two text boxes "txtDATE_COMPLETED and "txtHOURS_COMPLETED"
I need a code that will enable me to chose a student from the combo box and then have that students name and hours given automatically enter into the respective text boxes in the main form. Then I would enter the date and hours completed into the respective text boxes of the subform, which in turn would update the fields in "tblHours" at the same time subtracting the new hours from the hours given and displaying the new total hours remaining in the respective in "txtHOURS_REMAINING" of the main form. Can anyone give me any help in coding that? Thanks in advance.
manipulate the data by changing one of the columns (Customer 1) to a Look Up Field. This has created two challenges for myself:
1) The data is gone ... oops. I can solve this one.
2) More serious, that column (Customer 1) will only display primary key numbers of the data. Before the corruption, I had a combo box on a form. This combo box took its values from a Table called CustomerTable, the value in this combo box was stored in the QuoteListTable. Before it showed names, now only primary key.
I have attempted to:
-change the look-up back to a regular field (got rid of the look-up)
-exported the table to a query, turned it back into a table, no change.
I am trying to change the data type of a field in a table from calculated to something else. It gives me the error "this data type cannot be changed once the field has been saved"

I have a drop down list box on my form called FieldA. I would like for FieldB to update with a number depending on what is in FieldA. For example, if FieldA has Red, I would like FieldB to return a 2. I know this needs to have a case function done, but how do I get it linked to FieldB?

I have imported a large contacts table from an old database. The Name field has had all the names input as JOE BLOGGS etc. I can force the table to read joe bloggs etc using < in the format box in properties for this field. But I want the names to read in the Joe Bloggs format, first letter in each name being upper case. Is there an easy way of doing this.
Just got back in to databases after 15 years so wee bit lost at the moment.:o

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?

I have a lengthy CASE statement in my database that displays specific text in a field based on the value of another. Simple stuff but for some reason it randomly will not work on certain values, and never the same one twice. Is there a commonly known cause for this? I have verified that the spelling and spacing etc. are correct in my code so that shouldn't be causing the problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table and a simple query that pulls results from the table. Nothing too crazy. But, if I were to go in and change some of the data/values in the query results it will change the respective data in the table. I know that this cannot be right. What do I have to do to either prevent the ability to change query results and/or prevent any changes in the query from altering the original data in the table.
