Cleaning Up Code?
May 5, 2006
Ok, I am working on an exsisting database at work that has alot of code/forms/reports and so on. Whoever worked on this before me apparently didn't believe indenting code or anything like that. Now I don't want to to go all this code to clean up the structure of the code. I remember back a few yeras ago I found an app for VB that did this for you. No clue where I came across it at or even what it was called but I was wondering if there was anything available like that for Access?

Hi
I have a table that contains telephone numbers.
The data is in a variety of formats.
Here are some examples:
087 123456
087-123456
(W)087-123456
(H)123456
I would like to strip out hyphens, brackets, spaces, etc.
I hope to do this in a straighforward make table query.
Is there a function available that will strip out non-numerics characters?
Thanks
Noel

In a table, there's a column, "Siebel or Sales Ref". Some of these will have a long sales reference number or an ID from a Siebel sales system (pants), in the format 1-XXXXXXX. The problem is that some have two IDs, separated by a forward slash (/), so like 1-ABC1234/1-DEF5678. He wants to go through the data, and where there's a double ID, split it out, and create a new row with the second ID.
I'm not sure this can be done in Access, I would have done a loop in Excel, but it's his database.
Code:
INSERT INTO ActualBaseData
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT 'ITQ ID', Deadline, Lot, 'Bid Progress', 'Framework Type', 'Tender Type', 'Siebel or Sales Ref'
FROM TempBaseData
WHERE InStr('Siebel or Sales Ref', '/') = 0
[Code] .....

I want to release an Access file which has eveything locked down and cleaned up so that my Form is showing full screen (and nothing else) for an optimal user experience.

I need to create a program that will regularly import a text file of over one million records into an Access table. I've been give a list of about fifty different updates to perform on the data to clean it.
I can't imagine performing all these updates in one query. However, creating fifty individual queries seems horribly inefficient from a processing perspective.
I'm accustomed to stepping sequentially through a table in FoxPro, which seems ideal to me for this type of situation. What is the best way to handle this in Access?

PROBLEM: String Manipulation
"Cleaning up Mom's Christmas address labels"
I need guidance on the best string manipulation functions (Instr, Left, Right) to cleanup my mother's Christmas address list of 300+ names.
I have successfully imported the text file into Excel and exported to Access; fieldnames: FULLNAME, ADDRESS, CITYSTATEZIP
I have found instructions on how to breakout FULLNAME field into FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME.
But within the FULLNAME field are many combinations of titles (Mr., Mr. & Mrs., Dr., HON.) with inconsistent periods applied.
Which one of string manipulation functions:
Instr
Left
Right
would be best for extracting these various titles from this name field?
I understand the concepts behind the above functions, but not enough experience using them to understand the tedious syntax or which string manipulation function would be best for extracting the varying title entries to a separate created field called TITLES.
So far, I have deduced this will be a multi-step process. But asking for guidance:
1.) Which string function is best suited for this?
2.) Example of the function syntax for an update query?
2.) Suggested order to administer update queries?...
to extract misc titles from the FULLNAME field.
I am a novice-casual Access user.
Thanks, Greg
(If someone would copyright these steps into a book called "Cleaning Up Mom's Christmas Address List"... I am sure they could retire from sales on Amazon. :-)

I want to create a report for the Monthly cleaning plan of a hotel. For each day, how many rooms need new sheets, how many need new towels etc.
At this point I can generate a report for any given day.
This could be an example of what I want to achieve
Code:
------------ Date | Date+1 | Date+2 | Date+3
New Sheets 2 1 0 2
New Towels 1 3 0 1
Full Clean 0 1 2 0
"Date" is a date tat you can set, after which you'll get the following 30 days("Date+1","Date+2" etc)
I thought that a CrossTab query would give me what I want,but using the wizzard I can't get the result that I want.
Haven't worked with crosstab queries before so maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe this isn't even possible with a crosstab query.

I have a question and I'll apologize in advance because it may or may not really be an Access question.
I have a large ASCII spreadsheet that I have imported into Access. It has 4 columns, and has these headings: CodeID, Group, Division, Account. Many Division and Account combinations can exist within a Group, and there can be many Groups under a specific CodeID. Unfortunately the way I received the data was in a grouped fashion, like so:
CodeID Group Division Account
1234 1111 0001 0001
0002 0002
2222 0001 0001
0003 0003
1235 1111 0001 0001
0003 0003
etc.
Is there a way - easy or otherwise - to populate the blanks with the appropriate information? Essentially to "ungroup" I guess. I need to do this so I can sort and modify the data. Obviously as it is I can't do much with it.
Note, when I imported the data I had Access add unique counter as a primary key. That is allowing me to keep the data in order, but doesn't help beyond that.
Any suggestions???

Works great, but when I hit the number "3", (3 times in row) it will let me into the form. I want it to not let me in IF I don't know the password.
Where did I go wrong?
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim pw As Variant
If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "1" Then
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie"
DoCmd.Close
If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "2" Then
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie"
DoCmd.Close
End If
End If
End Sub

I protect my code from people being able to read it by setting a password on the code from Tools > Properties, selecting the Protection tab and entering a password, and clicking "Lock Project"
Is there a way to write code that will remove that Lock Project check and check it back on?
I've looked through the Application.SetOption command and it doesn't seem to be one of the choices. It would be very helpful if someone knew how to do this.
Thanks

I have a button that runs a macro to insert NOW() into a text box.
This is how it is coded;
Private Sub Start_transferred_job_button_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Start_transferred_job_button_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "Start transfered job"
DoCmd.RunMacro stDocName
Exit_Start_transferred_job_button_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Start_transferred_job_button_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Start_transferred_job_button_Click
End Sub
How do I write the code to populate the [start Time] text box with NOW() when the button is clicked without using a macro???

Need a little help here. I have this code on a command button that open a form that displays a chart. The chart work great as long as there is data to display. However, if there is no data then the chart is blank. So what I'm trying to do is add a dcount to catch the 0 and give an error. So the 1st query makes the table where the data for the chart come from. The Qry-Test for Zero query, queries that new table if dcount is 0 it should error.
My problem is that I can't get this to work with the 0 if I make it 1 then I will get the message box if there are no records and if there is 1 record 2 and greater work fine. So my question is why won't the code catch the 0?
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "Qry-Makes Table"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal ', acEdit
If DCount(" * ", "Qry-Test for Zero") = 0 Then
MsgBox " There is no data for this time frame to chart. Please re-enter your Date range"
Exit Sub
Else
Thanks

Can anyone help with this code please. I keep getting Error 13, type mismatch on the on click event of a Command button.

tmpFilePath = Me!Text1
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Expire"
DoCmd. TransferDatabase_ acImport,"MicrosoftAccess",acTable,"tmpFilePath","Expire","Expire",False

What I am trying to do is delete a table and replace it with a table of the same name in another db. the path to the file is stored in Text1. The delete part works OK then the error message arrives, when I run it with a static file path it worked ok, but I want to pick up the path stored in Text1 on my form.:confused:

In the database I am creating a table that houses “subjects’ names” and their “unique IDs”, which are both indexed with no duplicates. The Unique ID is used as a FK to connect all the tables that contain information from the subject. When subjects are enrolled in one of our studies they are assigned a “Unique ID”, which is assigned sequentially. The IDs are alphanumeric, and consists of 4 characters with the first character being a letter:
A001, A002…A999, B001, B002…C001 etc.:
To help avoid data entry errors, I would like to automate the process of assigning these Unique IDs as much as possible. So my question is:
Is it better to manually insert all the possible Unique IDs into this table upfront and then use a code that allows the user to assign the next Unique ID to the subjects they are enrolling (ie search the subject names column for the first null field and enter value there)? Or would it be better to set up a code that looks through the IDs that are already in the list and then automatically generates and assigns the next sequential ID to the person they have entered.
Also, where might I find some pre-established code to get me heading in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!:D :confused: :confused:

However, if the SpecialColor checkbox is checked, it needs to subtract 6 days from the LotDelDate. I must have something typed wrong.

Can anyone give me a hand?

Hi, I'm analyzing a program made with MS Access. It has a whole bunch of tables and queries already made, and a form with lots of code behind it. I'm looking through and I'm not sure what the following means:
With CurrentDb
.QueryDefs("qry_cur_pier").SQL = _
" SELECT DISTINCT RE.AIRPORT_RESOURCE_NAME,
RE.AIRPORT_RESOURCE_KEY " & _
" FROM qry_cur_resource AS RE " & _
" WHERE RE.AIRPORT_RESOURCE_CODE = 'PIER';"
qry_cur_pier appears to be an already existing query. AIRPORT_RESOURCE_NAME and AIRPORT_RESOURCE_KEY are fields in that query. AIRPORT_RESOURCE_CODE is not in the query though. What does the RE. and the AS RE do here? Thanks in advance.
