Access 2013 Memo Field Duplicating
Sep 16, 2015I often get revised versions of a record and make a duplicate and edit as needed.
In 13 my memo fields do not keep line structure
line 1
line 2
line3
Instead they be come one big continuous string of text.
line 1 line 2 line3
At least a space is added before each line.
Is there a fix or is this just something we have to live with?
Of note I am using my office's Dell laptop that was just "upgraded" to Win8.1 why not 10 beats me... 7 was so much better that 8 or 8.1.

Dec 2, 2014I have created a button that takes the contents of a memo field and adds a new line of text at the top with the date, time and initials of staff member. So far, so good...
However I want it to end with the cursor ready at the end of the first line (to type the note) The following code does everything but ends by putting the cursor right at the end of all of the text in the memo field (instead of the end of the first line):
Code:
Private Sub Command59_Click()
Me.Note = Format(Now, "d mmm yyyy hh:nn") & " - " & "(" & DLookup("[login]", "logintable") & ") " & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Me.Note
Me.Note.SetFocus
Me.Note.SelStart = Len(Me.Note)
Me.Note.SelLength = 0
End Sub

Last Line Of Text From A Memo Field
Nov 21, 2006Can anyone help....
I have a field on an Access db, this is a "Memo " type field which has many lines of text within it.
I need to run a query on this to get the last line of text within this field.
Aside from records where this memo field is filled in I also have records where the memo field is blank. So basically if the memo field is blank I want a blank field returned as well as fields with data.
I am using Access 2003 but also am running this on Access 2000 (not sure if there has been a change to function names)
This is seriously bugging me - can anyone put me out of my misery?

Modules & VBA :: Check Whether First Line Of A Memo Field Is Empty
Feb 10, 2015Our quotation tool, which is built in access 2003, has a memo field, which is extracted in a .txt file, to be uploaded by another system.
When the user starts the memo field with a blank line, by hitting the enter key, the upload file writes the memo field as a new line, separating it from the line indicator and thus giving errors.
My question would be : How would I determine in VBA, whether the first line of the memo field is blank.
Memo Field Does Not Allow <enter> To Create Linebreak
Feb 4, 2006Hi All,
I have a database with two memo fields. Both have exactly the same properties in table design view.
One field is called 'notes' and when I want a new line I just have to hit ENTER. Result is as wanted.
The other field is called 'responses' and when I hit ENTER, the cursor jumps to the next field (as if these were a text rather than a memo field). it does not start a fresh line. However, this field has not length restriction; I can copy and paste any number of lines into it. But I must not hit ENTER, and I cannot produce a line break.
As I said above, both fields appear to have exactly the same properties in Design View. Why then do they behave differently?
What's wrong? What have I overlooked?
Thanks for your help.

Enter Text Into A Memo Field Using A Drop Down And Button
Dec 6, 2005I have this database which has a comments field which often gets the same text added into it depending on what is in it. what I am trying to do is something similar to signiatures in outlook express.
What the end user wants to do is select from a dropdown box what text they want to add to the field and hit a button and it will insert it into the memo (comments) field in the form without overwriting any of the text they have in there already, they might want to just add one of the sentences or several.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about this?

Modules & VBA :: On Click Of Checkbox - Adding Notes To Memo Field
Feb 5, 2014I have code which is attached to onclick of a checkbox,
What I want it to do is if the user clicks it and checks it then to add some note to a memo field, if the user clicks it and its already checked then it doesn't add a note to a memo field.
Code:
Private Sub Check45_Click()
If Check45 = 0 Then
Check45 = 1
If Len([Forms]![Customer]!Notes.Value & "") = 0 Then
[Code] ....
But I can't seem to add any other lines which make sense to me that it doesnt add "letter sent" to a memo field if its already checked?

Feb 17, 2014I have a very experienced colleague who has Access 2013 and has the following issue:
For some reason, Access keeps recapitalizing the first character of the field names when I save, close, and reopen the table in design view! I just spent several hours lower casing prefixes only to discover after I ran a routine to extract the field names that they had been recapitalized!
I've fiddled with turning off Autocorrect, but that seems to do nothing positive for me. How to turn this feature OFF?
Pressing Enter- New Line...
Apr 6, 2005Hello,
...I don't know if this is easily possible or not, but here's my question/scenario: I am trying to create a form that allows me to (using a memo field) enter in the dialogue from a staff meeting. [This field will also be used for preparation for that very staff meeting]. I would prefer a method in which I can do a bulleted list, but if I can get a new line that would be sufficient for the day. In access, if you press enter - It tries to create a new record (I believe even if you aren't on the last field in the form, but that doesn't matter) I want to be able to press enter or shift-enter to be able to just make it go to a new line. Not a new record. Yes, I could do this in word and if this was the only thing I needed, word or it's equivalent would be the best method. But there is much more to this database concerning my needs so I want to stick with one application.
So there's my question - If there is some other method of getting a new line please tell me, I'd love to hear. ;)
Thanks,
---roystreet
I just found out that you can use ctrl-enter for a carriage return.
I would still like to know if there would be a way (maybe via coding) to make the enter key do it?
Using Images In Reports And Forms - Access 2013

View 2 Replies View RelatedLimit Characters AND Line Feeds In Memo Control
Mar 1, 2006I have a data entry form with a memo control physically sized to match the allowable space for this information when printed on a report.
Basically, I need to be able to stop the user from further input when the cursor reaches the lower right corner of the memo control. Beeping when reaching the limit is acceptable, but a pop-up message would be ideal.
I have not been able to find a solution that will limit the amount of text displayed in the memo control that will also include however many LF's a user inputs. All of the search results refer to only limiting the number of characters and do not take into account LF's.
I am new to Access and would appreciate all suggestions.

How To Enter Commands In Command Line To Type Queries
Oct 3, 2014I have had my 4th SQL/APP Dev lab class, however I missed the 5th.
Our 5th lab was .
1. Create 3 tables, populate with given data and create relationships. 'Customer, Invoice, Payment'
2. We were given 8 queries to try do, we had to come up with which commands would be used.
I have no 1 completed.
As for no 2.. we are still learning all the commands, so the lab here is for us to find what commands we think will be used. I have researched and have them all 6 queries we have to run.., I have all those commands written out on paper which I think are answers..how to find the command line to test them.

Forms :: Prevent Duplicates From Multiple Drop Downs In Access 2013
Jul 28, 2015I'm in Access 2013 and I built a form with multiple drop downs. Here is what I have in the same order of which the user must choose from......
Document "Field Observation", "Monthly Inspection", "Safety Roster" (The user must first choose the document from this drop down he is recording)
Supervisor "First & Last Name" (The user then chooses the first & last name of the specific Supervisor name he is recording the document for from this drop down)
Manager - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
AOR - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Org Unit - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Month "January", "February", etc. (The user then chooses the Month of which the document will need to be applied to)
I would like the form to trigger an error with "This document is already recorded for this month" when the user chooses "Monthly Inspection" OR "Safety Roster" for a specific "Supervisor" for a specific "Month" that is already recorded in "TBL_DataTracker". The TBL_DataTracker is where all of my records are stored.
