Disappearing "line Break" In A Query Expression
Oct 25, 2005
I have created an expression in a query to create an address label. My intention is to create one that looks like:
Name
Address
City, State Zipcode
To get the proper line breaks, I used the Alt + enter method. Though it is not visible when I look at it in SQL, the fields appear on separate lines.
Here is the actual expression used:
MailLabel: Nz([Title] & ' ') & [FName] & ' ' & [LName] & ' ' & [Extension] & '
' & [ADDRESS] & '
' & [CITY] & ', ' & [STATE] & ' ' & [Zipcode]
Problem: Sporadically, the database drops my line breaks and the expression becomes:
MailLabel: Nz([Title] & ' ') & [FName] & ' ' & [LName] & ' ' & [Extension] & ' ' & [ADDRESS] & ' ' & [CITY] & ', ' & [STATE] & ' ' & [Zipcode]
The resultant entry then just wraps around, depending on the size of the column.
I am trying to use this query to create labels in a Report. Any idea why the line break disappears? Any suggestion on how to better build the expression to maintain the proper line up?
Thanks

Hello all,
I want to create a query that looks for a manual line break in a memo field. Is there a code or some way that I can do this? (i.e in a Memo field the user has entered some data, hit Ctrl-enter to get to a new line, entered more data on the new line. I want to find the records where this has occured)
Also, on a similar note, is there a way I can deny my users the option of doing a manual break (Ctrl-Enter) in a Control in a Form? (to prevent me needing to run this query in the future)
Please advise.
tia,
Angel

I have text in a number of fields that I want to insert into a text box on a report. The size of the text box is large enough to accommodate, but I want each line to have a linefeed (or carriage return) before it.
The report is based on a query. I created a field in the query that consists of something like:...txtText1 & CHR (10) & txtText2 & CHR (10) txtText3 AS MYTEXT.
What I did was to set the control source on the text box to MYTEXT, hoping that there would be nice linefeeds in between the fields. Unfortunately, all I got were some funny-looking boxes.
What's interesting is that you CAN insert a linefeed into a memo field and that linefeed will display properly. I just don't know how to force one in there to separate lines of text.
Any ideas?

how to make a line break in a rich textbox in access 2007? Chr(13) & Chr(10) worked until I changed the textbox to rich, which is necessary because certain words in the textbox need to be bold.

I have set up an access application with a report being exported to rtf format. Would prefer word format if it is possible.
In the export document created there are line breaks on every row. This creates headache when the exported text is re-used in a word document.
is there any way how to have the export where the text is kept together without line breaks on every row?

This seems so simple and it probably is, I've probably been staring at my database for too long doing too many other things but here goes:
I want to create thank you letters for a list of people. I've made my query and gotten all their info together but now I can't make a report for the letter. I can make my text box but after that nothing seems to work out right. I'm not that good with VB code so I have been using Expression Builder which follows logic statements and not real code. I can't get even the address showing in one text box with 3 lines. Once I get that far I can get the remainder of my letter created because its all the same thing but I really need some help to get beyone the address!
Thanks

Here's the statement
Code:
sqlfinal = "SELECT Employees.ID, Employees.Name "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "FROM ((qryDeptVBA INNER JOIN qrySkillVBA ON qryDeptVBA.ID = qrySkillVBA.ID) "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "INNER JOIN Employees ON qryDeptVBA.ID = Employees.ID) "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "INNER JOIN qryAreaVBA ON Employees.ID = qryAreaVBA.EmpID "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "GROUP BY Employees.ID, Employees.Name;"
If i simply remove the GROUP BY line and stick the semicolon at the end of the previous line (.EmpID; ) it works just fine. How is adding a group by line causing an error?I tried adding another parenthes at the beginning ((( and ending the joins as EmpID); and that failed with the exact same error.

I have a main form with 3 sub forms. The main form is tied to a table called QUOTES_MASTER. The first sub form is tied to a table called QUOTE_ LINE_ ITEMS_DIRTGLUE. It calculates the subtotal when selecting items. The relationship is one-to-many linked on QUOTE_ID.
The second sub form adds up total of all line items and is not tied to a table.The third sub form adds ESTIMATED FREIGHT to the PRODUCT TOTAL and is not tied to a table. how to get the values from the line items form inserted into the QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE table as they are added.
I also want to insert the total value from ESTIMATED DELIVERED into the LINE_TOTALS field in the table QUOTES_MASTER.I tried this code on the product total sub form but it doesn't do anything and there are no errors:
Private Sub PROD_SUB_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE SET QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE.SUBTOTAL = Me.PROD_SUB WHERE QUOTES_MASTER.QUOTE_ID = " & Me.QUOTE_ID

I have a module which reads a CSV transaction file line by line and adds the correct transactions to an access table and places the wrong ones in a logfile.Now some transactions are rejected twice there is even one rejected six times. Whereas one wrong transaction is processed only once. I am certainly overlooking something obvious in the logic but what. Here is the relevant code.
Code:
Function ImportCSVForConfederation(inputCSV, ORG)
Dim TNO As Integer, TACT As Integer, TABLE As String, TLINE As String, I As Integer, J As Integer, K As Integer
Dim FLD1 As String, FLD2 As String, FLD3 As String, FLD4 As String, LogFile As String, LogPath As String
Dim Lim As String, ITNO As Integer
[code]....

I am having a little difficulty with my importing in Access. Every time I import my text file, the lines will be jumbled. I have been reading up and I found this recordset code that seems to be what I need:
Code:
Dim strLine As String
Dim intLineNum As Integer
Dim MyDB As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Open "C:TestTest.txt" For Input As #1
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset("tblResults", dbOpenDynaset)
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE * FROM tblResults", dbFailOnError 'Clear tblResults
[code]....
Basically, this code will extract data from the text file as long as it fulfills the Mid$ criteria. Here's where my problem comes. Each line in my text file is of different lengths and I have to capture the entire line.
I think using the Left$ function would work, but I don't know how to determine the character count such that the entire line of text would be inserted into the table.
Another difference between what I need and the code above is that, I am required to store each line into each row of my table, meaning
Line 1 is placed in Row 1 Column 1
Line 2 is placed in Row 2 Column 1
Line 3 is placed in Row 3 Column 1
.
.
.
Line X is placed in Row X Column 1.

I can change multiple things on a line graph with VBA.
Me.Graph47.chartType = GraphType ' take 65 for line
with me.graph47
.SeriesCollection(1).border.Color = vbblue ' change the line color
.SeriesCollection(1).border.Weight = LineWeight ' change the line weight to for example 3
.SeriesCollection(2).MarkerSize = MarkerWeight ' Change the marker weight, for example 4
.SeriesCollection(2).MarkerBackgroundColor = vbblue ' Change the marker color,
.SeriesCollection(2).axisgroup = 2 ' put this series on the secondary axis
end with
SeriesColection(1) is line with markers. This is correct.But now I want the seriescollection(2) without line, so only the markers. I cheched the MSDN site from Microsoft. The Excel trick with the macro does not work for me.how to hide the line with VBA for only SeriesCollection(2) in Access?

Hoping someone can help!:(
I have a table in access which holds interest rates details, and a query that displays the latest interest rate entered into the table (on the last line) by using the Last option in the Totals field.
The problem is that when I enter any new data into the table the query doesn't see this and continues to display the data which is now on the second to last line. The query for some reason just doesnt seem to notice the new last line.
Is there a solution to this so that it shows the new last line?
Thanks is advance!

Hello,
I have read a couple of other queries about this problem, but none seem to help me.
I have a database, not too large (c.2000 records), not too complicated (very few macros, no referential integrity, no reports or subforms, mainly simple queries).
Over the past few weeks records have started disappearing. Vanishing, no trace. No pattern to the record numbers. About 220 in all have disappeared so far. There is a main table (manuscripts), with links to other tables (manuscript notes, manuscript decisions). The records disappear from the manuscripts table, but the related records are left in the other tables.
Only five people use the database, no one has deliberately deleted anything in fact as we keep all information.
Could this be a virus? I cannot believe that the database is too large.
any help really appreciated.
Thanks
Eleanor

Good Day Everyone :)
I am in a dilly of a pickle here: after i set up my form all nice nice, with cascading combo boxes, other random combo boxes, a search button, setting up the SQL, etc. I was so proud- thinking i've finally done it! :)
But then... as I reloaded the access form afterwards it only displayed in design views and SQL views, and not the other view. :eek: :confused:
So, this being my first ever database, I have no idea what the problem is.
I have checked the properties box, and it is not a problem with the settings -not - being on display always, nor with the other property settings. (I believe)
Any advice/input would be greatly appreciated into this matter :)
Thanks a million in advance!

I have a combo box on a form, this combo box by the use of a select query shows all the relevant values in the drop down box from a table:mad.
My major problem appears to be that records that are selected in the combo box by way of the slect query seem to be disappearing from the table or part of the record is lost.
ANY ideas??:mad:

Hi All,
I have a large database with about 200 queries. I am having a problem with the last few I added. I run them from VB. When I run them the SQL statement disappears, sometimes. If I go to the SQL View instead of the Design veiw all that is left is Select;. I the Design View there is nothing.
Any suggestions?

I have a form that has a memo field. If text in the memo field is highlighted and I press the enter key the text is deleted.
Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening?
I know it is easy enough to click off the text (deselect it) so that pressing the enter key will move me to the next field (as required) but I don't always remember to do this and Hey Presto I've lost my text and have to start again.
But why highlight the text in the first place I hear you say. Well I have just pasted it in from a different application and it comes in highlighted.

I created a new DB and there are times when I open my form that all of my entry fields have disappeared along with their captions. Sometimes I am able to advance through different records and get the fields to reappear, otherwise I have to close the form and reopen it. What causes this and is there something I can do to prevent it?
Thanks for your help!!!!

Hi,
Does anyone know if its possible to have a page break/line space in a query's results?
For example, a query returns 5000 results, and after every 45 there is a space of 2 or 3 spaces. When I say "space" it could be a couple of empty records or rows.
The reason I ask is because I use a query to filter the records I want from my table. I then use a make table query to make a new table with these records, then I use a macro to export the table into a .txt file.
This text file is then used as a product feed, except the web application I use to import the data can only take a maximum of 50 records - so it'd be nice to already have a space so when I cut and paste the records into the web application I don't accidently try to import 51 records and mess everything up.
I know it's a strange one, but if theres anyway of setting the format of the .txt file to contain spaces would save a lot of time.
Any ideas would be welcomed, thanks for your time.
Dean

I have a form with an unbound subform that was working quite nicely. The only change I made was changing the data source for the main form from a query to a static table; name of table same as the prior query. Now the subform appears but the data doesn't. The buttons in the subform header are visible and work but the detail is not visible when displayed as a subform, it is fine if I open the subform as a separate form, I see the correct records based on the main form's criteria.
I have searched for some property I may have accidentally changed but can't find anything. It isn't set in data entry mode, not even a blank line shows.
Has anyone had this happen?

Hi peeps. I created a switchboard that opens a form in add mode. I click the button to open the form, it appears, but with no data - its blank.
If I open the form by itself (not via switchboard) its all there.
Whats up?

I have been experiencing some very strange symptoms over the past week or so, and am looking for ideas. I have a number of different frontends that link to one or more shared backends. A week or so ago, all the frontends were reporting that one of the backends, PCAMaster_be, was corrupt (ie, "not a recognizable database format). I repaired it, it worked ok, and then a few hours later it was corrupted again. After going through this a few times, I rebuilt the be (imported everything into a new, blank db). Same thing -- it was OK for awhile, then became re-corrupted.
So, my conclusion was that:
a) one of my frontends was corrupting it,or
b) my shared library.mde file was the culprit, or
c) my shared .mdw file was the culprit.
I have been meaning to unsecure my db's for awhile becuase I don't really use the security in any meaningful way. So, spent most of the day yesterday going through the steps to unsecure. So, I'm not using anything but the default .mdw file now. I also rebuilt every single FE, BE, and the library.mde.
Now, PCAMaster hasn't gone corrupt again (yet), but I'm noticing several other bothersome symptoms:
1. In one of my FE's, when I close it, the application closes but it leaves Access running. I have to use task manager to get access to close.
2. Some of my .ldb files seem to stick around when they're not supposed to. I am 100% certain that NO ONE is using the db. But the .ldb file is still there and I can't make it go away.
3. I open a FE with the /excl command line option. It opens OK, but when I try to repair/compact, it won't let me. ANd if I try to make design changes, it says I don't have exclusive access.
ANy ideas appreciated on any of this stuff
