Converting Text String To Its ASCII Value?
Mar 18, 2015
I have a string that includes mm/dd/yyyy + person's name. All of this is concatenated and is recognized as a text value. Then I want to convert all of these characters to a number. Since each character has an ASCII code, I would like to find ASCII equivalent.
In Excel, this would involve using something like the CODE ( ) function, but that only gives the numerical equivalent for the first character in the string, but I want all characters at once.
When I try the VAL ( ) function, it returns the first character which is the number of the month.

I am trying to set up some template emails using text someone has entered in a form with a variable indicated with a key word in brackets aka. [ChangeID] or [ChangeDate]. The field on the form is formatted as Rich Text so I am getting http code. (No problems yet) In the form the template is required, I lookup the template required and I get the string. I replace the brackets with the following
Code:
strleftB = Chr(34) & " & me."
strRightB = " & " & Chr(34)
strTemplate = Replace(strTemplate, "[", strleftB)
I then get a string but in need to convert part of the string into variables, before I capture the correct output for my email
Code:
"<div>RFC Submission: <strong>" & me.ChangeID & ", </strong> " & me.Details & "</div>"
My question is: what is the best way to split the string into strings and variables

I wondered if someone could help.
I am using the Val () Function to convert a text field to number within a query which still gives me a text output.
P.S I do not have permissions to change within table as using Access as a front end to SQL via link Tables.

Hi, I have the following problem which I hope someone can help me with:
I am importing a CSV file, one of the field in which contains times in the following format: 1200 (ie this is 12:00, th text file does not contain the : separator)
I want these to be recognised as time values by access, which at the moment only treats them as text. Is there any way i can run a query on this table to convert the numbers into times? I can do it in excel using concatenate to add in the :, but access does not have this function.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I have a table with a field called 'dereg_date' which is formatted as text, an example is as follows:
2006-07-07 00:00:00.000
I want to be able to convert this field to a date. I have tried using a query with Cdate([dereg_date]), however it doesn't convert it and just returns #Error for all the records.
Has anyone got any ideas on this? I need this fixed fairly urgently as my superiors are getting quite impatient!
Many thanks in advance!!
Sasha.

Is it possible to convert the text field that comes in this form:
:80421
to the following datetime format: MM/DD/YY 12:00:00AM
Please note that the text field contains a colon at the beginning. The number 8 represents a year (2008), the 04 represents a month (April) and the last two characters are days in the month (21). The converted field should look like:
04/21/08 12:00:00AM
Thank you.

I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True
Else
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False
End If

My Db had an email_address field which was a hyperlink. For various reasons I had to change it to a text field. However, now every email shows as:
some_email@domain.com#http://some_email@domain.com#
Is there a simple way of cleaning this up so I am only left with the email address? In other words is it possible to create an update query to remove everything between # signs (including the # signs)?

I found some vba code on the forum which extracts strings but was wondering if there is an easier way just using an update query since I'm still not too efficient with vba

I have a date field in a form which is not compulsory.
I then pull this date field into a query to create a report.
If the date is not entered then is it possible for "Date not entered" to be written into the report automatically. I have tried playing around with nulls but have had no luck.

Using 2010 (accdb format) on windows 7.I'm trying to convert a memo field's format from Plain Text to Rich text. The problem is that every time I try to select the Rich Text format option the field immediately changes back to Plain Text.
Just as a test a created a new memo field in the same table and set this to Rich Text (worked fine) then copied the records for the Plain text memo field to the new memo field. Unfortunately this removed all line breaks so instead of my text looking like

Here is the snippet from this company that explains how this file is delimited.
Each field is delimited by character 127, DEL. Try typing this by holding the alt key, then pressing 0,1,2,7 in sequence. Try representing it with your favourite programming language with "x7F".
Using Access I want to run the import wizard but am unable to specify this delimeter. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

I have a text file delimited and uploaded the information to a new Access Table. One field "MarketValue" has a number followed with a percentage (i.e. 100%, 54%, etc..), however it converts as a text column.
How can I convert the column to a TRUE percentage field representing the value originally imported.

Hi,
Can anybody help me ?
I've a case where ms access displays oracle's numeric field as text where msaccess is linked to oracle.The possible reason could be when we don't specify precision in declaring the filed in oracle table, default precision is 38 which ms access cannot hold. So, it(driver) converts this to text field.But this is with MSORCL32.dll(microsoft driver for oracle).Is there any other possible reason that will result this behavior?
The following are the configuration details:
1.Oracle 9i on Unix server.
2.MSAccess on Windows XP.
MSAccess holds linked data of Oracle server.
Thanks Inadvance.

I am using the funtion:
Clng([text field]) to convert a text field into a number so that I can link in a query. Because it is an informix database, I cannot change the underlying table format.
When I run the query, the data is showing "Error".
I tried changing the other table to text and linking but it doesn't seem to link properly because the query doesn't work.
Your advice appreciated.

I am building a database using data imported from Excel workbooks. The dates in the workbooks are formatted as text in the YYYYMMDD format. Is there a way to convert this into date format during the import or after? I am pulling in a lot of different workbooks and trying to avoid having to reformat each individual workbook prior to importing them.
