Fields With Trailing Spaces.
Jul 31, 2007I have tables that get their data from SQL server. Some of the fields in the table have trailing spaces. Does this issue need to be resolved in SQL server or in Access?

Trailing Spaces
Mar 10, 2005Hi, I hope everyone is well.
As part of an extraction program I'm making, I've got a table (lets call it TABLE1) with values that have trailing spaces
e.g. "ENGINEERING ", "LOGISTICS ", etc....
This has been set up as such to match the values that exist in a read only table I am linking to from another database.
I have used a query of TABLE1 as a row source for a combo box. When the values are selected in the combo box the trailing spaces are lost.
Can I remedy this?
Thanks in advance :)
Adding Trailing Spaces
Jan 9, 2007I have a query that I need to add trailing spaces to. I have a query that pulls the first and last name of our employees, but after the initial text, I need to add spaces up to 20. So the text of the first name plus spaces would be 20 characters and the last name in a different field would be last name plus spaces would add up to 20.
Thanks for your help.
Importing A Csv Losing Trailing Spaces
May 26, 2006Hi,
I am creating a csv in another application where fields may contain trailing spaces. If I open this in excel, the trailing spaces are preserved, but if I import into Access I lose the trailing spaces. Is there any way to preserve them?
Thanks,
Dave.
Combining 2 Fields Into 1 Without Spaces
Jan 26, 2006I have 2 seperate fields within a select query (In this example Field 1 - Country and Field 2 Number).
I have combined the 2 together into one field.
However a space appears within my results i.e
Field 1 Country Field 2 - Number
----------------- -------------------
England 4
USA 10
Combined fields:
Field 3 - Combined Country + Number
--------------------------------------------
England 4
USA 10
How can I remove this space within Field 3
Thanks
General :: Delete Trailing Zeros In Price
Jun 28, 2013I am creating my first form and a field that holds a price is showing that as 000000.00 I would like to eliminate trailing zeros and can find nowhere in a properties to do that in form properties.
View 2 Replies View RelatedText Export Has Too Many Trailing Zeroes (1.00000)
Jan 14, 2014For some reason, whenever I export a query to text, every number has trailing zeroes after it. This happens with any number, even integers.
Examples:
1.000000000
5.250000000
0.600000000
Nine decimal places would be fine if the number extended that far, but I want to get rid of the trailing zeros so that 1.0000000 becomes 1, and 5.2500000 becomes 5.25, etc.
Now, I have noticed that a setting in the Control Panel > Region and Language > Formats Tab > Additional Settings > Numbers Tab controls the numbers of decimal places, but if I adjust it to two or zero it just cuts the data off at that point.
Blank Spaces In Data Fields After Copying Data With SQL
Apr 14, 2007Hello there, I'm having a problem very much like the one described by this user (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113742&highlight=SQL+blank+spaces) where an SQL statement I am using to read data from one table and copy it to another is filling the remaining field space with blanks.
I didn't notice until a VBA module I worked on later on which was to read data from the new table and copy the selected record into a form said it could not find the records. The code:
Do Until blnFound = True Or rs.EOF
'DEBUG: answer = MsgBox("ok", vbYesNo)
'DEBUG: MsgBox rs("Account Name")
If rs("Account Name") = strAName Then
MsgBox "DEBUG: FOUND " & rs("Account Name")
blnFound = True
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
The record selector just goes straight to EOF because rs("Account Name") never matches strAName (as strAname has all those damned spaces after the useful data).
I wondered if perhaps there was some way to use the code in the other thread to read the length of useful data and then chop off the garbage spaces afterwards, but I'm worried it would be incredibly slow when running through the thousands of records. Also, the field has legitimate spaces in between words (most of the account names are two or three words in length).
The SQL statement responsible is as follows:
strASQL(i) = "INSERT INTO " & strTableName & "([CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3])" & _
" SELECT [CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3] " & _
"FROM tblCustomer WHERE [" & strField(i) & "] LIKE '" & strValue(i) & "';"
strASQL, strField and strValue are arrays and this SQL statement runs in a loop, as this is part of a search form for multiple possible entries. It all works fine except it always adds those damned spaces :D
Any suggestions?? Cheers.

Blank Spaces
Nov 28, 2005Hello,
I have the following SQL query that runs perfectly. Now I need to put some blank spaces in between for the first expresion (EXPR1). At the moment, as you can see, brings me the 4 fields together.
I have tried using + ' ' + and + " " + but it won't let me as it says that the syntax is Incorrect. What should I use to get spaces?
Thank you!

SET @SQL = 'SELECT dbo.brnch.addr + dbo.brnch.suburb + dbo.brnch.state + dbo.brnch.PIN AS EXPR1, dbo.individuals.posit, dbo.individuals.phn, dbo.company.name
FROM dbo.company INNER JOIN
dbo.brnch ON dbo.company.ID = dbo.brnch.com_ID INNER JOIN
dbo.individuals ON dbo.brnch.br_ID = dbo.individuals.br_ID INNER JOIN
WHERE dbo.brnch.country in (' + @OrderList + ') '

Blank Spaces
Feb 26, 2008My database:
*TblNames
-NameId
-FirstName
-LastName
-UnitID
-AreaID
-RoomID
*TblUnitID (this table doesn't matter)
*TblAreaID (this table doesn't matter)
*TblRoomId
-RoomID
-RoomLabel
I hope you can follow me fine up to this point.
"think of this database as a hotel"
I need a report that looks like:
LastName FirstName Area RoomLabel
name1 name1 B 1
name2 name2 B 2
[empty] [empty] B 3
name3 name3 B 4
As you see not all the rooms are occupied therefor where you see [empty] a blank space must appear or something like [empty] so it indicates that the room is empty.
My problem is that when i do my query it will only show data that has all the fields requested for instance if I know the last name of a client but i don't know their first name, the query will not show this field. even tho there is a client using a room. I don't know how to explain my problem any better. any suggestions?
Spaces In Form Name
Jun 6, 2007I have used spaces in the names of my tables, queries, forms and reports. I'm beginning to think this may have been a mistake, as I'm having trouble with syntax.
I have a form called Number of Words. This contains an option box, for which I always want option1 to be the default whenever the form is opened.
So I tried doing Forms!Number of Words!Option1.SetFocus but it didn't like the syntax. Do I perhaps need square brackets or something?
Empty Spaces Issue
Aug 6, 2007Hi,
I imported an Excel spreadsheet into Access. As you know, Access will automatically create 255 characters size for each 'text' datatype.
Now the issue is, when I create a query and I specify
Right([Field Name],3) I get no/empty results. I know my query syntax is correct, but the issue is, Access is picking up the right 3 character of the 255 field size. But in reality, my field's data are not 255 characters long; the max is probably 30 characters.
So, the question is, how do I go about picking up the 'actual' right 3 characters?
Please advise. Thanks!

Below are all valid job numbers, therefore a mask will not work.
So I was thinking "HOW" could this be done, perhaps eliminating Spaces, underlines and dashes from this field. How would I do this on the same field for all 3 conditions (course i would have to backtrack)

Line Spaces In Query?
Jan 2, 2008Hi,
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.

Eliminating Spaces In Data Entered
Jun 28, 2005I have a field in a database that needs the data entered without any spaces and I'm trying to figure out how to set either the validation rules or the masks so that the system will either automatically delete any spaces or warn the user not to enter them.
My preference would be for them to automatically be deleted.
Any ideas, suggestions?
I can figure out how to make either all numbers or all letters, but the data is both so that doesn't work.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
