I am building a database application, in which the users desire to use Word to Edit and change the RTF memo field of a particular table. I know how dump access rtf information to Word. Is there a way to pull it all back from the word application? Maybe some way to create a submit/close button that sends the data back?
View RepliesHello,
I asking to see if it is possible to run a query on a memo field. For an example I want to pull all records where the memo field contains the word "Test".
Is this possible?
Thanks!

Hi there, I am currently working on our intranet at work and am creating an Access database so we can record all of the box files at our storage facility.
One of the fields is called 'contents', which is a Memo field, where the person who is inputting the data will describe what is in the box. They will then use the autonumber generated by the database to label that box.
That way we can locate the boxes much easier than at the moment.
I have created a results page with a search box at the top using ASP in Dreamweaver CS3 and it works fine if I replicate EXACTLY what is written in the contents memo field.
ie: if the contents field for record number one reads
'Archived box of insurance documents dating back to 1999'
I would need to type in that exact phrase to pull that info back.
What I want it to do is if I was to put in '1999' or 'insurance' then it would return the same result (and others with those specific words).
What do I need to do in my code?
Here is the current code
Code:<%Dim rs__MMColParamrs__MMColParam = "1"If (Request.QueryString("content") <> "") Then rs__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("content") End If%><%Dim rsDim rs_cmdDim rs_numRowsSet rs_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")rs_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_intranet_STRINGrs_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM archive WHERE content = ?" rs_cmd.Prepared = truers_cmd.Parameters.Append rs_cmd.CreateParameter("param1", 200, 1, 255, rs__MMColParam) ' adVarCharSet rs = rs_cmd.Executers_numRows = 0%><%Dim Repeat1__numRowsRepeat1__numRows = -1Dim Repeat1__indexRepeat1__index = 0rs_numRows = rs_numRows + Repeat1__numRows%><%Dim MM_paramName %><%' *** Go To Record and Move To Record: create strings for maintaining URL and Form parametersDim MM_keepNoneDim MM_keepURLDim MM_keepFormDim MM_keepBothDim MM_removeListDim MM_itemDim MM_nextItem' create the list of parameters which should not be maintainedMM_removeList = "&index="If (MM_paramName <> "") Then MM_removeList = MM_removeList & "&" & MM_paramName & "="End IfMM_keepURL=""MM_keepForm=""MM_keepBoth=""MM_keepNone=""' add the URL parameters to the MM_keepURL stringFor Each MM_item In Request.QueryString MM_nextItem = "&" & MM_item & "=" If (InStr(1,MM_removeList,MM_nextItem,1) = 0) Then MM_keepURL = MM_keepURL & MM_nextItem & Server.URLencode(Request.QueryString(MM_item)) End IfNext' add the Form variables to the MM_keepForm stringFor Each MM_item In Request.Form MM_nextItem = "&" & MM_item & "=" If (InStr(1,MM_removeList,MM_nextItem,1) = 0) Then MM_keepForm = MM_keepForm & MM_nextItem & Server.URLencode(Request.Form(MM_item)) End IfNext' create the Form + URL string and remove the intial '&' from each of the stringsMM_keepBoth = MM_keepURL & MM_keepFormIf (MM_keepBoth <> "") Then MM_keepBoth = Right(MM_keepBoth, Len(MM_keepBoth) - 1)End IfIf (MM_keepURL <> "") Then MM_keepURL = Right(MM_keepURL, Len(MM_keepURL) - 1)End IfIf (MM_keepForm <> "") Then MM_keepForm = Right(MM_keepForm, Len(MM_keepForm) - 1)End If' a utility function used for adding additional parameters to these stringsFunction MM_joinChar(firstItem) If (firstItem <> "") Then MM_joinChar = "&" Else MM_joinChar = "" End IfEnd Function%>
and for the search form:
Code:<form id="content_search" name="content_search" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" action="archive_results2.asp"> <label> <input name="content" type="text" id="content" value="" /> </label> <label> <input name="button" type="submit" class="directory_form_button" id="button" value="Search Content" /> </label> </form>
Thanks for any help that could come my way!!

We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.
Dim What As Word.Shape
Set What = doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal , doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin, 225, 534, 0)
Dim sPath As String
sPath = "G:Temp.html"
Open sPath For Output As 1
Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>"
Close #1
What.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertFile (sPath)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to find whether a memo field contains a specific word. I know how to find whether it contains a specific string.
Let's say I am looking for the word "run." I would not want a positive result when searching "I don't like gerunds," but I WOULD want to find the records with "I know how to 'run' a search."
So I am looking for WORDS, not matching strings.
I am perfectly willing to use a user-defined function, to put involved processing into the query, such as
Code:
...
WHERE FieldHasWord("run", memoField) = True
AND ...

I'm trying to create a video tape library and I'm very new to access. The tapes are numbered 0001-infinity. I want to insert a microsoft word template in each record that I can click on, make changes to one and not change each document in each record by simply changing one. Does this make any sense and if so can someone help?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Word Doc with a Command Button.
The Command Button loads a form.
How do I find the form in "Edit Mode"
Alt-F11 opens the VBA editor but I don't seem to be able to locate the form there.
I am in the process of changing over a text field to a memo field to generate more space (in 5 different databases :eek: ) Thanks to all the good info on several searches of this forum, I am pretty clear on how to do that.
The question is... when I convert a field that already has information in it, will I lose the current information?
TIA,

when i change records, my subform that has a memo field, shows the memo field data is "highlighted". i can make a mistake and hit any keyboard key and the memo field data will get erased.
is there a way to prevent such a problem?
if not, is there a work around. eg, hide the memo field until needed for more input? ideas on both issues?
I have a form and a VBA event in which I would like to update a field in the current record. However, the field name is stored as a variable so I can't just use Me!FieldName = __
I've tried simply the following, but get a "No current record" error. why I'm getting the error, but how do I select the record currently visible in the form to edit?
Code:
foo = "bar"
Me.Recordset.Edit.Fields(foo) = True
I am using
DoCmd.OutputTo to export a query but this truncates the memo fields, but in the db window,right clicking and choosing to export does not truncate the data.
How do I code to output all the data without truncating?
Hi guys and Girls
I have a txt box on a report which should show comments..
In the background table the field this txt box is bound to has a data type of memo. Yet the txt box on the report stops showing any more than 255 characters! any clues? I know 255 is the field size set for my Txt fields but memo fields should be able to display 65000000000000000 trillion characters with no problems.
When I look at the table the memo field has all the txt in it, it just wont display all the txt on the report.
Thanks for any help guys.
Are there any other advantages in using a text field verses a memo field other than memory allocation? Memory allocation seems like such a small issue these days.

Hello,
If I read the documentation then memo field in a Access table can be 65.000 chars long.
I have three memo fields in a linked ODBC table which is filled by a append query from SQL-server database. The text in these field is cut off by 255 chars.
Does somebody know what the cause of this can be?
1. Is there a limitation/property where I can configure the length of Access memo field? DAO? I have read something about this but I don't understand this.
2. How can I trace that everything is send from the source? Maybe it's cut off at the source site. On this moment I don't know something about a Linked tabel.
Is there a sniffer or trace tool so that I can see what kind of data is realy send?
Thanks in advance

Greetings All -
Let me say first I am a novice Access user, just trying to teach myself a few things to make my job easier. So take it easy on me with any feedback.
This is my situation. I am using a web based help desk ticketing software that has an Access DB. I have created a couple of queries and linked them together that seem to be working and giving me the data that I want with one exception.
I am tring to query a memo field, which is the description of a ticket, and the output is only a small portion of what is actually entered in to the table. Is there a way either in my query or report builder to make a change that will output all of the data from the description field?
A couple of things that I've tried on my own are to change the data type for that field from memo to text, however that that puts limits on the amount of data that can be entered in and causes the help desk software to function incorrectly. I've also turned on Can Grow and Can Shrink for the text box for the output in my form.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Ok, firstly i have search google and this forum from top to toe and no-1 has an answer that works for me.
I am running a query, now i have completely simplified it. The query is now just picking up a field called recommendations. Recommendations is a memo field with no formating or index on at all. Now, when i run the query as normal it works fine... everything is there. But when i have to group by it. It cuts it off at 255 charactors. The thing is i need to do some sums and counts within the query aswell so it has to be.
I have checked microsoft and there suggestions are not any use.
Any ideas???

I have a form with a memo field. This field is based on a table with a field set as a memo data type. The problem is that although the form field lets you type endlessly, it only saves 255 characters. A memo field is supposed to let you enter up to 64000 characters. Has anyone else ever had this problem, if so what was the solution?

One problem, for some reason management doesn't want these explanations to end with a period. But the users keep ignoring our request and keep using the period.
Is there a way that you can code this memo field to where it will allow punctuation throughout, except at the end?

I'm using an append query to add a new record from a form.
The form has a text box and the contents get entered into a Memo field in the database. When I put more than 100 chars in the textbox and try to save to the database I get an "Invalid Argument" error.
If I use less than 100 chars then it appends fine. The error doesn't come from the textbox, I can put over 100 caracters in that, the error comes from the Append process.
In the append query I use this string.
Expr13: [forms]![additem].[description]
additem is the form
description is the textbox field.
Thanks for the help
