Delete Some Text From A Field With Other Text

Oct 8, 2014

I am trying to delete some text from a text field. There are almost 8000 records and almost all of them are like this.

Example: johnsmith-2.network.home.com

I want to delete everything after the dot and including the dot, to end up with "johnsmith-2". How do I do that? I think I can do it in a query, but don't remember how.

Delete Space In Text Field

Dec 5, 2007

In my Dbase, I have a table with a text field. Field name is Country
There are over 5000 records in the table and many of these in the Country field start with a space. I would like to get rid of this space as to ensure that all text starts with a character, rather than a space.
How can I achieve this.

Delete Spaces In Text Field

Jun 28, 2006

We have a table with approx 2m records. Just three fields:
Key (primary)
Postcode
Postcode reference

The problem is with the postcodes. Many of these have a double space in them such as this DE13 7EL but we need DE13 7EL.

Find and Replace runs into a problem because of the number of records.

An update query seems obvious but we can't figure out what to put in Update to as this appears to return the literal value.
We are not VBA programmers so that isn't really an option for us.
How can we strip out that extra space?

Reports :: Splitting Single Field Into Multiple Text Boxes Or Multiline Text Box

Jun 4, 2013

I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.

Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.

Sorting Text Field Containing Both Text And Numbers Sequentially?

Mar 26, 2014

We have a database that we use to track the tablets in our organization, a combination of Apple, Android, and Windows.

We label them with a hostname depending on their branding. Example below.:

APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE03

ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID03

WINDOWS01
WINDOWS02

In the database we use the field name HOSTNAME for these entries. When sorting the field, due to it being a text field, we get the traditional sort of

APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE10
APPLE100
APPLE101
APPLE11
APPLE110

ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID10
ANDROID100
ANDROID101
ANDROID11
ANDROID110

We would like to have them show up as

APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE10
APPLE11
APPLE100
APPLE101
APPLE110
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID10
ANDROID11
ANDROID100
ANDROID101
ANDROID110

What is the best way to tackle this?

Apending Text Into A Table Field That Already Contains Text

Jun 11, 2007

I am wondering if there is a way to automate the pasting function of text from one field into several others in a table without losing the data that is already in the field.

As an example: in 20 fields I have "I love potatoes" and I want to paste the text string, "And I love tomatoes too" in every field without overwriting the original text.

Thanks.

Steve

Text Box With Add/Delete Only

Mar 15, 2007

Is there any way that I can restrict a text box entry from being changed? I am working on a tracking system and presently can capture when a text field entry is added or deleted. I can't capture when a text field entry is overwritten. Therefore I only want the user to delete the present entry and then add a new entry in the text box. Is this restriction possible for a text box?:cool: :rolleyes:

Delete All Text Before Character

Jun 12, 2005

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?

A Query To SELECT A Columen Within An Interval Which Conatains TEXT+DIGIT+TEXT

Dec 28, 2006

I have a column which contains "text digit text" as "AAA 222 BBB". The numbers of letters or digits can vary.

I need to SELECT the column which contains digits in a specific interval. For Example I have
"DFS 673 JKK"
"A 3454 LJLJ"
"SD 854 JKLJD"

I need to SELECT the column which contains 600 < Digit < 700 the result of the query in this case would be "DFS 673 JKK" because 673 is between 600 and 700.

Thanx for any clue or suggestion...

Modules & VBA :: Pasting CSV Data Into Text Box And Copying It To A Series Of Text Boxes

May 13, 2014

I have a form on which there is a series of text box controls relating to different frequencies. At the moment I enter a value in to each of these manually.

However, I would like to have an unbound text box where I can paste in all the values (6 or 8 of them) from excel and then press a button and they would be copied in to the individual boxes.

So far I have my design:

I'm not sure where to start with regard to the code as I don't know how to handle delimited text - is it column delimited in excel?

I imagine some sort of loop, such as a do until will be required but again not sure.

Reports :: Find And Replace Text Across Many Text Boxes In Report Design

Jan 30, 2015

Is it possible to use find and replace to modify text in report design - or else is there something else I can do to get the same effect? I have a really useful report and I want to modify it for use with a different dataset. To do that I will need to change the text in over 150 text boxes. I have seven different fields which each occur over 20 times in the control source formulas in the text boxes, because they are used in different ways in different calculations. If this was excel I could do a simple find and replace to change e.g. every reference to fieldname OLD to fieldname NEW, but I cannot see how to do that within access report so am haveing to click on each text box in turn, go to properties and edit the text box .

I am trying to switch to a more general naming system in the modified report so then I will be able to assign data with the required fieldnames for the report within a query. But the report I am starting with has field names based on years 2013, 2014, 2015 etc.I want a quick way to change each reference to those field names to my more generic new field names.

Can You Make Just One Part Of The Text In A Text Box Bold Or A Different Font Size?

Aug 20, 2004

Is there a way to make just part of the text in a text box bold, or to use different font sizes in the same text box?

Something like this:

---------------------------------
Heading in bold: description in regular (not bold)
(a smaller height line used as a line space)
Another "normal" line
a larger height line
a normal line....all in one text box!
---------------------------------

One thing I'd like to be able to do is to specify the line height of a blank line in a text box. I'm using carriage returns created with: Chr(13) & Chr(10). I could see defining the font size of a hidden character, but I'd need to know how to assign a font size to a piece of the text in a font box.
