Hi,
Our shops use MS Access to save the details of customers. The shops have to submit us the customer records at the end of each month. How can they make some settings (e.g. query) to extract only the modified records and new records of that month? For example, at the end of Nov 04, I just want them to submit the modified and new records of Nov 04. Records created in or before Oct 04 should not be extracted.
Many thanks.
Using Access 2007 - My (Data Type) Memo field contains the following type of data ...
First Name: Jake
Last Name: Pies
Phone: 123-456-7899
Email: jakepies at apple dot com
Comments: Interested in all more information
How do I parse these records, about 400, located in the memo field column to multiple column fields: FirstName, LastName, PhoneN, Email, Comments.
Thanks, James
Hi, i have a fox pro memo field that has bill of materials information in like so:EACH KIT COMPRISES
1 CR10070SW £29.60 HALLITE PRODUCT
1 RBS24690 £0.82
1 RBS354 £0.95
2 RBS345 £0.75
1 S95MMEXT £3.90
£36.77 PER KIT
I need to take out the carriage returns but keep the items delimited in some way so they all apear on the one line. These are the child parts for kits so i need to keep them on one line as i import them or via a query so i can see the parent part they belong to. I can then extract them for upload into our system retaining the association with the parent part.
Thanks

Any way to extract a postcode when there are double space on some and not others.
SA1 1AB (i need SA1 1AB)
HU1 2AB (i need HU1 2AB)
HU17 0BG (ok)
For some reason the postcode field returns 2 spaces when the postcode length is only 6 digits and 3 spaces when the postcode length is only 5 digits. Im assuming that the postcode field needs to be 8 characters in length (including a space).
All I want to to remove the addition spaces and return a normal looking postcode!
I'm currently in the process of moving from Excel to Access and am setting up a user table with 5 Fields (Full Name, First, MI, Last, Alias). I would like to only transfer the Full name and have the other field be calculated fields, so they automatically fill in. I was able to get the "Last" field to work, but the others are being tricky. Especially the "Alias" field which would need to take the first letter of the first name, MI letter and the entire last name, like (JPDoe).
The current format of my "Full Name" field looks like, (Doe, John P.) without the brackets of course. I'm new to Access, so I was trying to use the Expression Builder to do all of it, unless there is an easier way?
How I can retrieve the following information from a field
[CONTENTS]
1 x 17.7ml
2 x 17ml
1 x 181.1ml
I need
17.7
17
181.1
I was using a combination of CAST(LEFT(RIGHT...)) AS Float
but that obviously won't work due to too many variations...
Hello,
I manage an access MDB, which contains two tables.
In one of the tables (Table A), I would like to insert a "Default Value" that will be extracted from the other table (Table B), everytime I add a new row.
For instance, the value I would like to extract from Table B is "900".
When I add a new row in Table A, I would like it to use "900" as the "Default Value".
But tomorrow, for example, the value in Table B will be "910", and so when I add new rows in Table A, I would like them to be "910", but at the same time I don't want the rows that I added a day before to change (from "900" to "910").
I tried going to the "Design View" and under the "General" tab, use the "Default Value" field by using an SQL query, but that didn't work (or maybe I just did something wrong).
How can I do this?
Thank you!

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy client is reporting corrupt characters cropping up in fields. These characters appear as Asian Characters. They only corrupt one record.
This happens very seldom. In fact, it hasn't happend for about 2 months and today it happend again. Their was no change to the database.
Is this a network problem? Network noise corrupting data?
Thanks

Hello,
I am totally new at this database stuff. I have been searching the archives for a couple hours and confused on how to accomplish what I need to do. I saw references to using a module but I have not used that feature yet.
I am using Access 2003. I need to remove/delete " - " space dash space, "-" and "&" from a string in one field (DGName). I'm trying to do this with a make table query
DGName
P1000
P1000 - SMLS
P1000-CA (not a type error)
UD000 - C&B
V-NET
and I want it to come out like this
DGName
P1000
P1000SMLS
P1000CA
UD000CB

Hi, Everyone,
I have an excel column that has building location and building name in one column, example 1245 Accounting, how can I copy the 1245 into it's own column, please help, i can do it either in access or excel. Please.
users are using a hand held scan gun to enter data into a field. if the barcode is 12 characters long, I only want the 1st 7 to be written to the table.
I was thinking a validation rule using TRIM or LEN but can't seem to get it to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I have several queries looking up products from a table. I use a simple form to access the query and in the criteria of the field I use [Forms]![EnterCroft]![ProductName] to filter by name. (EnterCroft is the name of the form).
It works fine but doesn't like the asterisk (*) for all products.
I also want to use wildcard before and after key words in the product names, eg *cup* for anything with CUP in it's name.
How can I do this?
Thank you very much.
Hello all. Have a bit of a strange one here (and fairly frustarting). I have a table which includes a field (type memo) which holds text comments.
I have a query which includes this field. For some reason, when the comments field is empty (identified thorugh opening the table), when it is returned through the query is shows two characters, namely '@v'.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Thanks for reading :)
Good Morning to all
i would like to kindly ask if there is a pre defined function in the VBA SQL of access in which it will trim a certain field programmatically
for example
Old string = Manila-MSE Building - 30.26f
New String = Manila-MSE Building
Thanks for your help
I am sure there is an easier way fo doing this, but I am looking one at a time!!!
I want to know what is the Max and Min number of characters used in each field of my table.
I am using this code below, the max will be at the top and then scroll to the bottom to find the min, but as can be seen this is doing one field at a time and is very time consumining!
SELECT tbl05to06.Account, Len([Account]) AS MyAccount
FROM tbl05to06
ORDER BY Len([Index Key]) DESC , Len([Centre]) DESC , Len([Account]) DESC;
Hi,
I am trying to use a query to select the first two characters from a field I have created in a form. I would then like to use these 2 letters to filter out results in the query.
For example:
I have a number of sections in a document (1a - TAKE OFF, 1b - LANDING, 1c - STATIC etc.) which include associative chapters (1a.Contents, 1a.Introduction etc.).
From a combo box I select the section (i.e. 1a - TAKE OFF), I then want to filter out all the chapters in the associative section (i.e. 1a.Contents, 1a.Introduction etc) by using the first two characters of this combo box in the query.....
I hope this makes sense!!!
Cheers
Hi, i am looking to replace characters in a field using a query, I can use the replace to replace them all but that aint what I want e.g.
I want this: ~~test~test~~~~~test~~
To become this: test~test~test
I can use replace and get this testtesttest, but I need the ~ placed back between each word.
Any help appreciated, thanks:confused:
Hey everyone, I've been busy creating a switchboard based on database, and I came across this issue. When I put a search through records command button, it seems that I can't use the wildcard characters, such as *,%,_ in order to find multiple records matching my criteria.
Am I supposed to "enable" them from somewhere or am I doing something wrong.
Any help?
Thanx in advance
Is there a attribute for setting the max amount of characters in a textfield, I have thought about adding some code in the on keypress event, to lock the textfield once the required amount of characters has been reached, but I was hoping there would be a more simple way.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just discovered that the report I am trying to create has too many characters in it. I have approximately 200 fields I am trying to get a sum for. Does anyone know the easiest way for me to get this sum with out typing in each field, ie., (1jbo)+(2jbo)+(3jbo). In Excel, we can just type in =sum(A:C) and it would just add them all up. That's what I need. Is there a way to add up all 200 items in a similar fashion?
