Concatenating 2 Table Fields To Form Another

Dec 31, 2004

Hi all,

Ive got a table called tblClientCar, this is its structure:

ClientCarID
ClientID
CarID

I want to use an append query to concatenate ClientID and CarID together and putting the concatenated value into ClientCarID. How would i do this?

Ive tried using a form a two combos so when i select the clientID from the 1st combo and then the CarID from the 2nd combo, then run the append query to write the concatenated value into ClientCarID of the table. But it says writing 0 rows to table and the ClientCarID isnt concatenated when i check the table. This is the query sql syntax i was using:

INSERT INTO tblClientCar ( ClientCarID, ClientID, CarID )
SELECT tblClientCar.ClientCarID, tblClientCar.ClientID, tblClientCar.CarID
FROM tblClientCar
WHERE (((tblClientCar.ClientCarID)=[Forms]![frmClientCar].[Combo6] & "" & [Forms]![frmClientCar].[Combo8]));

I also tried another way. The 2 combos add the selected values into ClientID and CarID in the table tblCar. So i made the append query slightly different to concatenate ClientID and CarID to form ClientCarID. This is my query sql syntax:

INSERT INTO tblClientCar ( ClientCarID, ClientID, CarID )
SELECT tblClientCar.ClientCarID, tblClientCar.ClientID, tblClientCar.CarID
FROM tblClientCar
WHERE (((tblClientCar.ClientCarID)=[ClientID] & "" & [CarID]));

I get the same result as the 1st query. What am i doing wrong?
Is there another way of doing what im trying to do? Whats the correct sql syntax for doing this?

Thanks
Jim

Help With Concatenating Fields

Jun 11, 2006

G'day,

I want to produce some UPCa bar codes which require 11 digits of TEXT for the barcode function to work.

I want the bar code to be made up of several fields
Make 3 Chars (Text) (eg 021)
Model 3 Chars (Text) (eg 103)
Serial_Number 5 Characters (Numeric) (eg 00025)
(I need to keep the Serial_Number field numeric so that it increments in modulo 10 format (ie get Numeric only results))

So i need to produce a field that looks like this 02110300025 after the 3 fields are concatenated

However I am getting 02110325

I'm sure that the answer is simple but I seem to be having a mental block. Does anyone have any ideas? Your help will be very appreciated.

Concatenating Text Fields From Different Records

Jul 13, 2005

We use two different systems in our office that have notebook facilities. One of them stores only a limited number of characters in the note field per record and as such, some notes actually span several records.
The other system stores the whole note in one record.
We want to transfer all the notes from the first system (1 note over several records) to the second system (1 whole note in 1 record).
I have a table with the notes from the first sytem which looks something like
Note1 - Line1 - Text
Note1 - Line2 - Text
Note2 - Line1 - Text
Note3 - Line1 - Text
Note3 - Line2 - Text
Note3 - Line3 - Text

What I want to do is, for each note, combine the separate lines into one record.
I have been able to do this in Excel with some formulas (see attachment) but am wondering if it is possible to do this in an Access Query (i.e. GroupBy the note number and have a calculated field combining the individual lines of the note, or something similar)?

Concatenating Fields Ignoring Blanks

Jun 4, 2006

In a query, I'm using concatenation to join multiple address fields (organisation, building number, street address, etc) into one field. I'm also inserting line breaks to create a formatted address and then creating a form on the query so the formatted address appears in a text box and can be copied and pasted straight into my label-writer software to print address labels.

This is the concatenation code I'm using:

Expr1: [Organisation] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Building Number] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) etc.

However, one problem with which I am now presented is where a field is blank. E.g. if one of my contacts is retired, then they don't have an organisation listed in the "Organisation" field. This means that a blank line is left between their name and the rest of the address.

When running a mailmerge there is the option of skipping blank fields so that a blank line is not inserted in such cases.

How can I achieve this within the above code?

Concatenating Fields Based On Criteria?

Sep 20, 2006

I have a query that is set up to join two name fields...for example:

[ELIGVENDORS.LSTNAM] & [ELIGVENDORS.FSTNAM]

The issue is that this is perfect for names that are entered in the table like this:

Lstnam: ABC HOSP Fstnam: ITAL

They are entered like that for groups, but when individual doctors are entered, the data entry folks are entering them like this:

Lstnam: SMITH Fstnam: BOB Titlcd: MD

So when I join them the first displays correctly as ABC HOSPITAL, the second displays as SMITHBOBMD and I have to manually go in and add a comma.

Is there a way to do an if/then statement or something to tell the query to display results If the titlecd is NOT NULL, display as [ELIGVENDORS.FSTNAM] & [ELIGVENDORS.LSTNAM]&", "&[ELIGVENDORS.TITLCD], else display as [ELIGVENDORS.LSTNAM] & [ELIGVENDORS.FSTNAM]

I'm sure there is, I am new to IF/THEN statments though and was hoping to get some help setting it up.

Thanks in advance and I hope my description is clear enough.

Reports :: Concatenating 5 Fields To One On Report

Apr 1, 2015

I have five reason fields in my table and I would like combine them into one field on my report, with line breaks between so each reason starts on it's on line. Also if there is a blank record, I would like the report not to display a blank line. I have found ways to do this online for 2 records but I need this for 5.

Also when I do manage to get the lines all to show in the report there are 3 paragraph returns between them - making the reason display of the report 15 lines tall, not just 5. The code I have so far, which displays each of the reasons but spaced as described is:

=[REASON1] & " " & [REASON2] & " " & [REASON3] & " " & [REASON4] & " " & [REASON5]

Concatenating Fields Defined As QryQueryName.ColumnName?

Jun 28, 2005

Hi

I did a search to no avail...

I am trying to concatenate Address fields into one text box. The Control Source pull-down menu gives me the Field Names listed as QueryName.ColumnName.

I know that if they listed the fields as just ColumnName, you'd simply go:
ColumnName & " " & ColumnName2...

But the way these columns are defined, I cant find the correct syntax.

Is there a way to do this without changing all my queries??

Thanks again! :)

Concatenating Data In A Table

Sep 15, 2005

Hi folks,

New person to the forums here. I've had a scroll through the FAQs and can't see an answer to a problem I need to solve. I wonder if there's anyone could offer some help?

My db has three tables: table_a, table_b and table_c. Each table has the following fields:

table_a
a_id (PK)
a

table_b
b_id (PK)
b

table_c
c_id (PK)
a_id (FK (many to one))
b_id (FK (many to one))
c

I would like field c in table c to be a concatenation [table_a].[a]+"-"+[table_b].[b]. I'd like this field to automatically generate and be constrained as unique. Creation of value c in table_c should be by selection of value a & then value b in a form based on table_c.

Can anyone advise me how I do this?

By the way - editing to add this - I am using MS Access 2000 & can't upgrade to a later version.

Creating New Table From Form Data Fields/clreaing Datat Fields.

Apr 13, 2008

I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.

Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?

Forms :: Adding Fields In A Table And Having Output Fill Fields On A Form

Jan 29, 2014

I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.

Code:
SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay
FROM [Tble-wcDelays]
GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID
HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));

That is the query.

Concatenating Instead Of Adding

Jan 9, 2005

I am trying to create a basic query that adds four numbers, but when I try '[Mark1]+[Mark2]+[Mark3]+[Mark4]' it concatenates it instead of adding.
e.g. I have '58+96+13+45' and I get '58961345' instead of 212.

Concatenating A Date Not Working

Mar 21, 2007

I am using this as a criteria for a Query that is pulling the 2 dates from a form - Report Date Range.
The reason I am trying to do this is I have a cumulative report that needs to run for the fiscal year (1/1/xx to 12/31/xx). It will always use 1/1/xx as the base date for the range. I am trying to pick up the year because it will change depending on the periods/years picked.

Between #1/1/ & Year ([Forms]![frmReportDateRange]![txtBeginningDate]) & # And [Forms]![frmReportDateRange]![txtEndDate]

When I run the query I get "The expression you entered has an invalid date value."
I am trying to concatenate the 1/1/ with the year and obviously that is not working. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Concatenating First 3 Records Then Stops

May 6, 2015

I'm trying to concatenate several fields from a set of tables/subtables. But for some reason, it concatenates the first 3 records, then stops. I should clarify that the concatenation "skips" a subtable. Here's the structure of the relationships (not sure if this pic is working so I'm adding the link to the screen shot)

[URL] ....

and the concatenation itself

As you can see, I'm looking to create a concatenation of (Vendor_Code)&(Vendor_Item_Code)&(Item_ID) which runs through the subtable Items_Child, but doesn't use any field in Items_Child

One Table, One Form, Multiple Fields

Feb 9, 2006

Hello everyone,

I was working on a database several months ago and I came across this forum while troubleshooting. I had to abandon the incomplete project for some time now, but I am back and ready to get this thing up and running!

My database used to be comprised of lookup tables and other things for each of the fields in my main table, but I have recently scratched that idea for simply using list boxes.

My main problem, I believe, is with my form. I am trying to have two combo boxes, a beginning date and end date, and a keyword text box, all used as criteria in a query.

Seems pretty simple, and I actually got the keyword text box to work, but the combo boxes and between dates critiria return all records.

Can someone double-check my work? I'm sure it's just a simple error, but I will attach a stripped-down database for anyone to look through.

Thanks ahead of time for anyones help, it is greatly appreciated!

How To Add Fields To A Table After A Form Has Been Created.

Feb 24, 2006

Anybody able to help me with this. I think there should be a simple solution to it, but it eludes me at the moment. Basically, I have created a form in MsAccess with alot of vb script on it, but
now I realise that I have to add more fields to the source table.
If I insert a new unbound text box onto the form, how do i bind it to
the new field in the source table. is there a formula that I should
use? When I look at the dropdown in the control source property, it
only gives me the fields that were in existense at the time the form
was created?

your help appreciated

thanks

Concatenating The Many Side Results Into One Result

Dec 26, 2006

Hello,

i am trying to join the results of a many-side of a query into one result field separated by commas...

Table: tblWorkOrderStoresFinal
Row 1: LogNumber: 1StoreNumber: 2
Row 2: LogNumber: 1StoreNumber: 3
Row 3: LogNumber: 1StoreNumber: 4

I would like to make a query that combines the StoreNumber into one field CombineStoreNumbers separated by commas as follows...

LogNumber: 1 CombineStoreNumbers: 2, 3, 4

I tried the following crosstab query, but it's not quite right.
TRANSFORM StoreNumber
SELECT LogNumber
FROM tblWorkOrderStoresFinal
WHERE (((LogNumber)=1))
GROUP BY LogNumber
PIVOT StoreNumber;

Any ideas? Hope this makes sense.

Thanks, Casey

Modules & VBA :: Concatenating Emails Into A String Via SQL

Sep 3, 2013

There are so many threads on here for emailing a PDF version of a report. I've put together a nearly complete bit of VBA that will do what I want - except for one thing.

Basically I have a personnel table with an email field. I Also have a field that details if a person is available or not ("Home" means they are available)

I need to create a string that is comprised of all the email addresses of the personnel who are "Home". In another thread I read that this can be done using a SQL statement.

So this is the VBA that I have so far - I commented the SQL for now because I don't quite know how to use it here.

Also, I have created the string, called "emailsList"

Code:
Private Sub Email_Button_Click()
'SELECT Personnel_Table.Email FROM Personnel_Table WHERE (((Personnel_Table.Status)="Home"));
Dim emailsList As String
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "AWACT_Report", acFormatPDF, emailsList, , , "Training Update", "Attached is the newest Training Report.", True
End Sub

Do I need to do a loop that concatenates?
