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.
I 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.
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.
I supply data to our customer for their system, a single table listing 1.9 millon records. 1 of the 7 fields is unique but the rest in the table can contain duplicated data. My problem is caplial letters vs lower case. How can I query my table to find just the mixed and lower case versions of for example "BIRMINGHAM" ie "birmingham" or "Birmingham". My customers system is rejecting the Data due to some lower case entries.
hello if any one can help me create a query that pick out lower case characters from the beggining of words, and the beggining of each word in a sentance , my christmas would be made!

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?
This is kind of a weird question. I downloaded and imported a table with cities and zip codes in it. All the city names are in upper case. I want to use the city names in that table as the row source for my City text box.
But in my database, I store city names in Proper Case, with just the first letter capitalized. So when I use the table as the row source, it pulls in the city name all in upper case
Is there a way, either within Access or not, to change the city names in that table to Proper Case?
I hoping someone might know what expression I need to create to convert text in a field in an append query to proper case.
The reason for this is that I am receiving data in all uppercase and really need it to be in proper case, that is only the first character of each word in the field is capitalised.
A field name for instance is strProductDescription and I want the data to change from "FRIDGE FREEZER" to "Fridge Freezer" on appending the data to another table, hence a proper case function or expresssion.
Using Access 2010 and ODBC connections to pull data from 3 sources (SQL Server 2008, a customized Documentum application, and Windows AD accounts). Problem is user_login_name is sometimes recorded as lowercase, sometimes as propercase, and sometimes as uppercase depending on which table or source being used. For example, lowercase would be "abcd123", propercase would be "Abcd123", and uppercase would be "ABCD123". I thought I could just wrap each join comparison in the From stmt in the query(s) with the UCase() function, but Access doesn't like that.
How can I convert or cast the various user_login_names within the FROM join statement to be the same text case so joins will pull correct data?
I read somewhere that the main difference between JET AND SQL server is that a query rn through JET transfers the whole table across the network to the client machine and then processes it. Whereas, SQL server just transfers the particular record, say if you use a stored procedure. Is this actually true? What about if it's usng a SQL back end? Any links on this subject?
I have one table that will consists of about 1,000 rows. I have another table that consists of product codes that we want to exclude from the report. I know how to include the two tables by joining, but I want to EXCLUDE the 2nd table of product codes. Basically, if any of the product codes listed on table 2 are on table 1, I don't want them to appear. So how can I do an exclude function in a query?
Is there a way to import the records from another database table? I have an inventory database, blank, only the backend data is there. So everyone goes out on their own and gets inventory. At the end of the day, I would like to get flie 1, file 2, file 3, and only open file one, and only import the record from the other two inventory tables.
All these files will be exactly the same(Tables, queries,forms, everything). The only thing that will be different will be the data in the inventory table. Thanks for you help!
I have a table that has the following: Joint Account, Employer, Employer1...Employer20, subemployer1, subemployer2... subemployer5, addemployer1, addemployer2... addemployer5, removeemployer1, removeemployer2....removeemployer5.
It might be possible that any of the columns with the word "employer" in them have the same number in them. The Joint Account column might have the repeating number in it as well.
I want to be able to push a button on a form open a input box and enter a 7 digit employer number and search through the whole table and return all the rows where that number particular number is.
I have tried building a query using "like" in the criteria but you can only use that 8 times.
I have searched through this forum, but I am unable to find something that I could use. As I m not a seasoned access user, I do not quite know what to do with some of the other "search" questions I have seen.
Thank you in advance for any help that could be given or pointing in the right direction.
I am currently working with a database that has a table called "Students." I need to import records from a textfile that has a bunch of records, some new, some existing records but updated. I got them to import into a table used for imports (called "Import Table") and I was able to run a query to append the records if they were not already existing, but how do I get a Query to do both new inserts and updating existing records with new info from the imported data?
i.e.
Bob is in the database already, but needs to update his records. His updated record is in a textfile which is now in the "Import Table". But in that same textfile/table, there are some new people that need to be added.
Please help.... I have combined 2 Tables using a select * query. I have to do it this way as the data changes. The issue I have is that in both tables there is a common field called "Amps" Hence my resultant table has 2 columns, Table1.Amps and Table2.Amps. Every time this occurs I want to delete Table2 column entirely as I use this table to plot a graph.
In short- I need to know the code to delete a column from an existing Table.
Now each of these Tickers has a whole table of options associated with each particular ticker and the EASIEST way for me to proceed would be to simply link row MSFT with an ENTIRE table of MSFT_OPTIONS then link IBM with the table IBM_OPTIONS.
Keep in mind that I don't have a field called TICKER in the options table and MSFT does not appear anywhere in the options table.
I know I can go and add the TICKER field to the OPTIONS_TABLE and then assign a primary key and then link them both but this would involve a great deal more work since I have hundreds of stocks with options tables to link. The data I get is in a specific format and I don't want to have to massage the data too much.
I have a form with two unbound text boxes: HireMovieID and HireCustomerID, and a button HireButton which runs my query: HireHistoryQuery. Then I have a table: HireHistory. In my HireHistory table, I have my CustomerID's along the top as column names. Then the records for those columns are in this sort of format: "0001 on 19/05/2006" as type Text.How can I make it so that when a user enters a Customer ID (e.g. 23) into my HireCustomerID box in my form, it shows column number 23 and all it's records?
Also, what code do I need so that if someone enters something into the HireMovieID text box in my form (e.g. 0001) it shows all of the instances of that from the whole table in its respective column?
I have a local table that I am trying to append to a linked table. The fields are exactly the same. When I try to append the entire local table to the linked table I get an error code.
ODBC- insert on a link table failed. [ctreeSQL]-17002 CT- Key value already exists in index (linked table field) (#-17002)
If I specify the criteria in the field to refer to a specific value in the local table, it updates it just fine. I want an append query because I don't want to manually update 500+ records!! I don't believe an update query would work because the values are not in the current linked table... so nothing to update!
No matter how much I maximize or minimize Access (2010) my tables fill the entire screen. This happened once before but I don't recall the fix. It was something very simple. How to make the table not fill the entire screen?
I have run into an issue with a basic DLookup. The database has grown in size and now we could have multiple entries, but I want it to return a certain one. So the information could be in it three times. Of course DLookup stops after the first one. How do I get it to loop to check the entire table? Someone mentioned to me to use a recordset, but how to write that as I have never used it before. Below is what I was using until this new request came up.
<code> Private Sub txtloan1_AfterUpdate() If IsNull(DLookup("[loan1]", _ "settlement", _ "[loan1]=""" & Me.txtloan1.Text & """ AND [status] = 'Open'")) = False Then Cancel = True MsgBox "Test", vbOKOnly, "Warning" End If End Sub </code>
This was also executing after the user entered the information within a text field. I did not want them to enter all the data and then have it come back as a duplicate.
