Character Display
Feb 7, 2008
I have a numeric field from a SQL database that is not editable. I need to limit the number of characters displayed when I bring that field into Access forms and reports. I want it to only display the last 4 digits.
Field Name: clicode
Thanks.

L=Letter , X=number. Examples consisting of three parts (it can be more than three).
1. LLLLXXXXXX_LLLLXXXXXX_LLLLXXXXXX
OR
2. LLLLXXXXXX LLLLXXXXXX LLLLXXXXXX
OR
3. LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX
OR
4. LLLL_LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX
OR
5. LL LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX
I would like to develop a function that takes a string that is made up of three parts or more and each part is separated by an underscore "_", space, or "&". There is no character that takes precedence over the other. It will always be only a single character which seperates the parts.
The check will always be done from the left. It should carry out the following actions:
1. Display all characters from the left until it reaches the first seperator "_" underscore OR "space" or "&"
2. Check only Part1 if it is made up of 4 letters and the rest 6 numbers (see 1-3 above). If that is the case only return part 1.
3. If part one only has letters and no numbers (see above 4-5) return all parts. Part one can consist of two letters or more.
I have started the function for step 1 above that searches for the character "_" underscore and display all characters until the first "_" is reached. I would like to include the same for "Space" or "&" in this function.
Once that is done I would like to do step 2 and step 3.
Code:
Function SearchforChar(strTest As String) As String
Dim test2 As String
Dim strUntil As String
strUntil = "_"
test2 = Left(strTest, InStr(1, strTest, strUntil) - 1)
[Code] ....
Answer3:
Full name with all parts should be returned for all above four cases under situation 3.

How to make an input mask display more than one character?I'm building a db for work, and multiple (non-IT) people will enter data. Instead of having the input mask for the date field display as ##-###-####, I would like it to display as DD-MMM-YYYY.

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'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!
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
Roy

I 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!

Hi everyone,
I'm new to these forums and require some help on a very strange problem. I'm also not very clued up on Access, so you can be as basic as you like.
I was asked by my employers to develop a dynamic site for a client, which uses asp and an access database to hold various content. The problem is occuring when content from a MEMO field is pulled out on the front of the site. On our UAT site, this content is snipped off after 255 characters, whereas on our development server the entire content is outputted (as it should).
The files on both environments are identical.
Can anyone offer any thoughts on this? Could it be a server setting that needs changing, or something I need to know about access?
All responses welcome,
Thanks

I am setting up my own switchboard, and i have a quick jump menu that has every page on it. The pages are arranged as so:
1
1.1
1.2
1.3
2
2.1
2.2
3
When i'm setting up my code to push a person to a certain page, I want it to first check their access level (which is stored in a table in my database)
Is there a wildcard character in vb that will cover all the submenu's?
(I.E. Code:If MainMenu = "1*" And Userlevel = "PublicAccess" Then MsgBox "You do not have access to this area"End If)
Instead of having to put an if statement for every submenu under 1?

I am trying to put the text "Assessment & plan " into a label.
It looks like it is going in but when displayed the text is converted
to "Assessment _ plan". It seems like the & character is being
used as a concatination character or some other special character.
In other situations or languages I would try a exsape character
but I haven't found out what that would be in Access.
Any ides.
Thank you.

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.
