I found a thread from last year that is close to solving this question but not 100% so I'll post this new thread.
I have a field called ITEM_NUM in a database with the following structure:
XX-YYYYYYYYY
XX-YYYYY
XX-YYYYYYYYYYYY
I need to extract the Y portion of the data and a Query format would be the best.
FYI, the X portion consists of 2 Letters/numbers then the Hyphen and the Y portion is variable in length.
thanks for your help!
You guys have been so helpful in the past. Perhaps you can help me with this as well. I believe it’s a bit out of my scope. I have a list that reads similar to this:
Field 1
DMA: ALBANY
CAR 1
CAR 2
CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON
CAR 1
CAR 3
CAR 4
CAR 5
CAR 6
DMA: HOUSTON
CAR 1
CAR 3
CAR 4
CAR 5
I need it to read like this:
Field 1 Field 2
DMA: ALBANY CAR 1
DMA: ALBANY CAR 2
DMA: ALBANY CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON CAR 1
DMA: BOSTON CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON CAR 4
DMA: BOSTON CAR 5
DMA: BOSTON CAR 6
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 1
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 3
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 4
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 5
If my list was this short, I would do it all manually, but my record list is in the 10,000s. Basically I want field 1 to read: DMA:ALBANY and Field 2 to read:CAR 1, and so on. I’ve tried linking the table to itself in a query, however, that hasn’t proven to be helpful. I've also searched the FAQ's and newsgroups. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Guys,
I have a table called "tblEmployees" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Address
DOB etc
Letter1Dated
Letter2Dated
I have another couple of tables:
"tblLetter1" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Letter1Dated
Letter1RemainingFields...
"tblLetter2" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Letter2Dated
Letter2RemainingFields...
I want to be able to put the data from 'Letter1Dated' field (from the "tblLetter1" table) into the 'Letter1Dated' Field in the "tblEmployees" table.
Likewise, I want to be able to put the data from 'Letter2Dated' field (from the "tblLetter2" table) into the 'Letter2Dated' Field in the "tblEmployees" table.
All three tables have the same primary key (EmployeeNo), which makes it even more difficult to do this!
I understand this may sound abit confusing so i apologise for this.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction please.
Thanks alot.

Im not sure what the code is to enter in the query to display only mobile numbers from this notes field ?
Any help will be appreciated

Is there a possibility to use a shorter code for extracting one field from one record, than opening a recordset, getting the field, closing it and setting the recset to "Nothing" again? I'm doing this multiple times in my code and it seems a bit too much for what it's supposed to do.
Code:
sql = "SELECT tblAdFlgDaten.* FROM tblAdFlgDaten WHERE (((tblAdFlgDaten.AuftrID)=" & ABAuftrID & _
") And ((tblAdFlgDaten.Schritt)=2))"
Set RSnap = dbase.OpenRecordset(sql, dbOpenSnapshot)
If IsNull(RSnap.Fields(2)) Then
...
...
End If
RSnap.Close
Set RSnap = Nothing
Hi all,
Been pulling my hair out about this for a while, so i hope someone's feeling kind:

I'm using the BHRefPrefix to build part of a reference number. The Principal and Site exist on a separate form, and i need to use both as criteria in order for the correct BHRefPrefix to be returned.
I sort of get it working using two joins, but it doesn't let me add any new records. I've tried straight queries, queries with DLookup expressions, and i just can't get what i need.

695515*97
531924*11
495853*131
377035*181
Is there a way to extract the 97, 11, 131, 181 numbers from the above list in a separate field?
I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I have refined my query from previous threads to involved a module function. This calculates more acurately no of working days between dates and takes into account a holidays table. (All credit to Arvin Meyer on the module:) )
However because the Leave Year starts at the 1 July and finishes 30 Jun I need to compose the date for any current year Year(Now())
Enclosed scrdmp shows my query design. I can easily get it to work as you see it, but obviously as each year rolls over, the year needs to change.
Have looked at many posts but can't find what I'm looking for. This one will get me over the hurdle.
Many thanks,
On a report I have a field that has a value that can be anywhere from 15 to 25 char. Can I set up the report field to only display the 1st 10 char. ?

Hi,
Apologies, I have no idea if this should go in reports, queries, macros or modules and VBA as I'm a bit stuck but hopefully it's fairly simple.
I've been teaching myself access and it's been going well. What I have now been asked to do is produce a report that generates the shift patterns for everyone in the office as an HTML document. Now, the data is all exported from another program and I've had no problem getting the data into access easily. The problem I have is the format some of the data is in.
The major one that I need to solve is showing what time people are meant to take their lunch break each day. The field for break is filled in in the following format.
07/04/2008 12:45:00
Now, I have the date from elsewhere so I really don't want the date to show up so I need something that removes the date from this field. Is this going to be easy to do? (Ideally I'd like it so that the above example actually just returned 12:45 but if it has the 00 on the end that would not be the end of the world)
Apologies if this is in the wrong part of your forum.
Hi Guys!
I'm working on this database in which I have 2 forms:
one form has personal information (PersonalInfo)
and the other one is a search form (Search)
In the search form I have a field in which I want to type any part of the Name field in PersonalInfo form and I want to retrieve all the records that have this part of the name.
Here is what I tried:
In the PersonalInfo form, I want to the criteria of the NameField and typed the following:
Like %[Forms]![Search]![SearchField]%
but it didn't work.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

CS.
I have joined 3 tables using the query design and I have 3 different fileds. There are fields that have information that I don't need. e.g. I don't want the first 10 characters of field 1. How do I do this in query design (even in SQL view). Or do I need to do this in the table itself before joining the table. Hope my question makes sense. Thanks for any input.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table with names in a field called [Name] in the format Mr John Smith
I need to append the names to another table but to 3 separate fields for title, initial, surname
I know the format for example Left([Name],1) to take only the first letter, but how do I tell it to take from the left up to the first space for the title, how to take between the first and second spaces for the first name etc?

Hi all,
I am trying to update the value of a field from say, "Word" to "Test120+". I am using the SQL code as below....
UPDATE tblTable SET tblTable.Field = "Test120+"
WHERE (((tblTable .Field)="120") AND ((tblCurrent.Field02)="TT"));
But the end results are that the value has been changed to just Test120 !! The plus (+) sign has been excluded. Is there anyway I can force the plus sign to be used in this update query or has Access some sort of bug because the plus sign is used as an arithmetic character that prevents it from being used as a value in a query ?
Any workarounds or advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mitch....
Hello,
I need to be able to copy the last part of text from 1 field to another.
Speciffically,

to become:
+ field1 + field 2 +
| yadda yadda | (ABC) |
(ABC) is not always of length 3, it could be (XY), (T) or more.
can someone help me with a method to strip this into another field?
thanks!

Hello all!
I have a customer database and I basically want to find out their geographical distribution. To do this I need to run a query that gives me the sum of customers for each postcode, but this is dependent on only the first few characters of the postcodes (or prefix), eg BH3. The length of the prefix varies between 2 characters and 4 characters with one or two characters followed by one or two numbers.
What I don't want to happen for example is to have postcodes counted as BH1 when in fact they are BH13 or to have postcodes coutned as BH13 when they are actually BH1 3LV.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can do this? :confused:
Any help most gratefully received!

I want to ba able to search for only part of the field in a query. I want to run a reort from a query where the user only needs to enter part of the information from a product list ie the items listed may be as lisetd as make model in the same field. the user won't be able to get to the query to alter the criteria. i have tried:
Like "*" & [Enter Product Name] & Like "*" Which I found on a previous post but this returns a syntax error, and highlights the second Like
I have a table that I need to identify the records in that have specific text in one of the fields, the field also contains other data. i.e. the field (accessdescription) can contain any combination of the following text (Bridge, Report, Email). and I want to list only the records that have email in this field, noting that the field usually contains at least two of the possible entries.
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Im using the UPDATE Query in Access
UPDATE MAT_Clean SET FCODE = 'BC', NOTES = 'HC RAMP'
WHERE FCODE='BC HC RAMP';
Instead of typing what needs to go into NOTES everytime, how can I specify whatever comes after 'BC' to go into NOTES? Use 'BC *'?
Thanks!
I have a table - RDC/NDC - that holds details about various warehouses, including a field - [Short_Code] (TEXT) - to hold the warehouse short code or ID.
I have an import table - PickDataImport - that contains details of goods picked, including a field - ToAssignRef (TEXT) - that is made up of 3 elements; Type-Short_Code-Date (EG GREEN-MAN-210215).
I am trying to create a query that will return the warehouse name from RDC/NDC by looking up the depot short code in the ToAssignRef.
The Type element of ToAssignRef can be any length of text.
I am thinking i need to use HAVING or IN (or a combination) but everything i try fails - either blank or errors.
Hi,
I hope you'll be able to help since I think it is going 2 B a tough one.
I'm looking for a code that will do the following:
I have a table (lets say customers) with a lot of names and instead of typing again and again the same name I would like to have a kind of an auto complete mechanism which will find the name from the table and use it to input it back to the table itself and if it isn't there then it will use the new name as an input, exp: in table customers I have the following names:
ACC, ABC, ABD, EFG .....
lets say I'm typing A then the ComboBox will show all the names that starts with A (e.g. ABC, ABD & ACC), if I will continue typing A=>B then only the names ABC & ABD will be shown then I can choose one of them or continue typing ABD which will cause only the name ABD to show up then I could use this as a name to input to the table or if I create a new name like ABDG then this one will be used.
I hope I didn't mess things up and explained myself correctly.
Thanks in advance

Hey all
I have a table that contains a list of news items. For each item there is a link to an appropriate image and a load of text.
I display a list menu of news items showing the picture and the first few lines of text. At the moment for the first few lines of text I have a separate field and just copy and paste the first few lines of the main article into it.
My question is is there a way where instead of having to have a separate field with just the first few lines in I can somehow just retrieve the first few lines of data from the full article field when displaying the menu listing?
Hope this makes sense, and any ideas greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
