Upper And Lower Case Changing
Jul 10, 2006I 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.

Change Table Entries To Upper Case?
Sep 13, 2004 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...

Filter Upper Case
Aug 2, 2005Hi,
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
Upper Case Wildcard?
May 26, 2006Just 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

May 22, 2015I 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?

Dec 16, 2013I 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
Changing Case Of Data In A Field
Mar 16, 2012I'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?

Dec 8, 2006My 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??

Converting An Entire Table To Proper Case
Apr 27, 2005I am trying to change all the fields of a table from All Caps to Propercase. I have used strconv propercase before, however only on a field by field basis. I have about 5 or tables that I have to do this to and am trying to save the typing. I know I can do this with a recordset (easily in asp), but am not familar enough to do this in vba. Can you do a for each fld, like in asp, or am I going at this the totally wrong way. I tried using an update query with the *, but access doesn't like that too much. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Convert An Entire Table To Lower Case?
Sep 24, 2007I 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,

Tables :: Predefined Table Of Tasks Against A Case?
Aug 5, 2015I'm creating a fairly basic case management system in Access 2007 and i'm wanting a way of populating a set of tasks when a case is created...
e.g.
I have a case table, which contains basic information about the case, case manager, ID, date created etc.
I've also got a task table with a list of tasks
When i create a new case I want it to pull in the list of tasks from the task table, the tasks are static so i wouldnt want them to update the task table but update progress on the tasks against the case.
Do i need another table for like casetasks where it populates the blank tasks and then they're updated with an ID linked back to the Case.
Changing Fields To Must Populate
May 3, 2006Hi Everyone
I need to change a fields properties on a form depending on another fields data.
i.e. If a user ticks a Yes/No box saying they've done something they must also complete the date they did it. I can't set the date field in the table to be 'Required' as if ther is no tick then it doesn't need to be.
Cheers

Linked Fields Changing On Their Own???
Dec 3, 2007Hello all...
I have a problem with a single query I have build in Access 2000. Basically, I have a normalised database structure to 3NF. I have a table called Data, a table called Reports and a table called DataReports which cotains the primary keys from both data and reports which are named Data_ID and Report_Id.
Basically, what is happening is I am building a query that returns a record from DataReports using the Data_Id field as criteria as this is held on a form. I create a one to many relationship from the Reports table to the DataReports table using a link from one Report_Id to the other. I save the table and it works fine...once only!! The query is used to feed a list box on a form. The form loads correctly but when I go back into design view to make a change to something else on the form and then go back to form view, I get Data Type Mismatch error. When I look at the query, Access has changed the link from the Report_Id --> Report_Id to Report_Id --> Report_Title which is the next field down in the Reports table. Because all ID's in my database are Autonum's it is trying to link a number to text so I understand why this would not work but I dont understand why on earth access is changing my links. It is very frustrating. Could anyone help me please.
Thank you kindly..

Changing To Field Value Instead Of Fields.
Dec 14, 2006Help needed: Large Yes/no tables!
I have a form with names of employees, and different skills that employee has.
It is listed in a form as columns with the employee name in rows, and columns for the skills. The form is in fact really great, but I see that the solution might bring problems in the future because of maintainance issues, and field limitations. I add fields frequently, and the table is growing without me beeing able to control it.
I have organized this in only one table, and used the name of the skill as a field. There is many other tables in the DB, but none of them covers this area.
exampletable:
employeeID | auto
employeename | text
Hireddate | date/time
Fireddate | date/time
baking | yes/no
cooking | yes/no
driving | yes/no
juggling | yes/no
With this solution I get the skillname as a heading, and the name as a column with lots of yes/no values. I love the filter functions, and the form is quite nice...
exampleform:
Employee baking cooking driving juggling
employeeeID1 yes no no yes
employeeeID2 no yes yes yes
employeeeID3 no no yes yes
employeeeID4 yes yes yes no
and so on.
Is there a way to organize this so that the skill name comes in the top row, the results get listed as shown above when the skill is placed as a field value, not a field itself?
I have looked for a solution with many-to-many relations with 3 tables, but cant seem to make it work right. It is especially the form I have trouble creating with the new design.
I have also tried to make crosstab queries with minor success.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can make the relations work.
One employee can possess a great number of different skills, and the skill can be possessed by a great number of employees. This is not a difficult issue by itself, the problem is to make the form as shown over.
Thank you, in advance.
Changing Messages / Date Fields
Jul 9, 2007Hi Guys me again!!
After spending the last few hours searching the forum and net for an answer I have finally conceded again that I need advice
I have a field in a table called DOB (date of birth) this is currently set as a Date / Time field
It did orignally have an input mask for short date i.e 11/11/2011 but i have removed this for now.
On my form (Patients) there is also some code in the after update properties box of DOB to calculate a persons age which is entered into another text field on the form.
What I need is a customised message box if the user enters the date incorrectly i.e 11/11/11 instead of 11/11/2011 alternativley is there a way to change what the user puts in i.e 11/11/11 to 11/11/2011 automatically after udating but keeping the code to calculate the age?
Hope this isn't to confusing...
Thanks in anticipation

Colour Changing Fields In List Box
Mar 16, 2008Hi there guys,
I need a little help on a little situation. Basically, my client for my school project wants to be able to see graphically if orders sent to their bookstore have been processed or not. So i suggested a change of cololour of the fields.
Now I have created a Form containing the orders as they are stored in a list box, (both already processed and unprocessed orders), now I want to be able to allow each item in the list box to be either Red (if unprocessed) or green (if processed) so the user can see which ones they need to deal with. Im guessing this would take some VB, but if anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it :).
PS, if you do provide VB could you please explain a little of whats going on as i have to annotate all the code I use and im not too profficient in VB
Thanks a lot

Size-changing Fields In A Report
Dec 11, 2007I've asked this question in different forums before, and though some people say it can be done, I have not found anyone who is successful yet.
I have a report that puts down a person's address, however the address information is stored within the database in separate fields ('Address', 'City', 'State', 'ZIP'). The issue I have is with the City/State/ZIP. Some city names are longer than others, is it possible to have the fields adapt to the different word lengths.
Say the address is, Albany, NY 10023. The database would output this alright, but then if the city name is San Francisco, CA 94143, the fields are in disarray.
I have the same issue with names. Last name and first name are stored separately. I would like to display Last, First. My workaround has been to right-align the Last name, and put it adjacent to the left-aligned first name field. This works unless the person's last name is very long, disporportionately from the first name, in which case, it looks very much off center in the overall report.
Any help would be appreciated.
