I programming a eBay upholder, and having an issue with the description, as there cant be any line breaks in the column. I have little knowledge of Vba programming. I think I can use the replace command to change the line breaks to spaces.
View RepliesWe use a Database which has been constantly developed over 10 years using earlier versions of Access2003.We have Upgraded to Access 2013 and we are experiencing many conversion issues which I need to resolve.One key problem is that many of the earlier tables were developed with spaces in their names (Hindsight is a wonderful thing?). There are over 200 Tables that need changing. I would like to update the Table names replacing every "space" with an underscore"_". AT the same time I would also need to Update all of the QUERIES that use these particular Tables to be updated to reflect these changes made and still work as normal. I can do this manually but it will be very time consuming and perhaps someone has already had to do this when recently upgrading to Access 2013?

We have a database and a query that is run that creates a table for a webpage.
The webpage (created in FrontPage) displays the info we need, but what we have 1 field that we would like to have display in a certain way. What we would like is, instead of having this 1 field string all the words out in a row.
For example:
word 1 word 2 word 3
Is there something we could either do in the query or within the webpage, that will force each word to a new line within it's table cell on the webpage
So would look something like this.
word1
word2
word3
it makes it easier to read on the webpage.
I'm having big problems exporting and converting data in Access. I have a large source of records that I want to manipulate and then export from Access into delimited text files. The problem is, I need to remove some spaces from a memo field. While the trim() function will remove a lot of spaces, it doesn't remove breaks/hard returns/whatever-you-call-it that breaks up the paragraphs.
Here's and example of what it looks like when I export it now:
SECTION: 37 BLOCK: 596 LOT: 5
ALL THAT CERTAIN PLOT,
I want it to look like this:
SECTION: 37 BLOCK: 596 LOT: 5 ALL THAT CERTAIN PLOT,
How do I get rid of the breaks? Thanks!!
I have imported an Excel spreadsheet into an Access database. In Excel, a line break in a cell is entered by ALT+Enter. After importing my spreadsheet, all my line breaks appear as "□" and the text all runs together (no line breaks) in the table. The "□"s are also printed in reports. I need a way to either (1) make the "□"s appear as line breaks (e.g., by changing some Access property) or to convert the "□"s to something that shows as a line break in an the Access table memo field (e.g., CNTRL+Enter). Can anyone tell me how to make this happen?
I've tried to copy/paste the "□" into the Find/Replace dialog, but nothing appears when I paste. I understand the memo field is unicode, but I have not been able to determine what the "□" character actually is. It is not the same as the only similar squared shaped character I find in the Arial character map (U+25A1: White Square). I can copy and paste the "□", if surrounded by some other text, e.g., "xxx□yyy", into a Notepad document and it shows up as "xxx□yyy". Pasting the same into a Word doc and I get
"xxx
yyy" with the line break properly displayed. I can copy and paste just the □ itself in Notepad.
I'd like to run a search and replace on a query result to remove carriage returns, linek breaks and tabs from the data. I know that MSWord has character aliases that will allow you to do a search and replace - does Access have an equivalent for these?
Thanks!

I have a memo field that contains several text strings separated by line breaks. I would like to write a query to add another text string to the end of the field. How do I embed a line feed in the SQL?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI created a form with a memo field. Data is entered. How do I get the data to print on the report on separate lines rather than one continuous paragraph? For example: Entered in form:
2/1/15 visit to house. 2/2/15 ordered new locks for doors. 2/5/15 Locks installed.
Print view on Report:
2/1/15 visit to house.
2/2/15 ordered new locks
2/5/15 locks in stalled.
Here's the statement
Code:
sqlfinal = "SELECT Employees.ID, Employees.Name "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "FROM ((qryDeptVBA INNER JOIN qrySkillVBA ON qryDeptVBA.ID = qrySkillVBA.ID) "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "INNER JOIN Employees ON qryDeptVBA.ID = Employees.ID) "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "INNER JOIN qryAreaVBA ON Employees.ID = qryAreaVBA.EmpID "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "GROUP BY Employees.ID, Employees.Name;"
If i simply remove the GROUP BY line and stick the semicolon at the end of the previous line (.EmpID; ) it works just fine. How is adding a group by line causing an error?I tried adding another parenthes at the beginning ((( and ending the joins as EmpID); and that failed with the exact same error.
I have manipulated the duplicate record code found online to suit my purposes. It works for all the other subforms, however this subform has too many fields so the code goes onto the next line. How do I solve this? Online it says using "& _ " but I can't get it to work. There's basically too many fields to fit on one line so I need to continue the code onto the next line

I had someone write some code to access an Access database. The code works with the database as is, however if I choose to compact & repair the database to minimize its size, the code no longer works. What could be different about the database once it's been minimized using the database utilities?
Thanks,
Rick
P.S. Does compacting the database make it more responsive to users on the web that query the database, or doesn't it much matter?

Hi.
Hope this is in the right forum, apologies if not.
I am sure this is a simple question, but if I have a long line of code, I have to keep scrolling to the role to see it on the screen.
How do I see the line of code so it appears on the screen without scrolling...i.e Word Wrap sort of thing.....?
Many thanks.

Is there a way to comment out a specific section of a SQL query within MS Access? The normal SQL commands such as, rem text; ' text ; - text ; or /* text doesn't seem to work.
Any help is appreciated.

Greetings,
I was wondering of I can simplify this line of code which to me looks very clumsy. It work but I assume it could be more efficient?
The line is;
If IsNothing(Me.transvalue) Or IsNothing(Me!FrmDestination.Form.sumtransvolume) Or Me.transvalue > Me!FrmDestination.Form.sumtransvolume Or Me.transvalue < Me!FrmDestination.Form.sumtransvolume Then
(obviously it is on one line)
The whole code is
If IsNothing(Me.transvalue) Or IsNothing(Me!FrmDestination.Form.sumtransvolume) Or Me.transvalue > Me!FrmDestination.Form.sumtransvolume Or Me.transvalue < Me!FrmDestination.Form.sumtransvolume Then
MsgBox "There is a volume error " & vbCrLf & _
"the data entry has not been properly completed " & vbCrLf & _
"Please correctly enter or check all Data", vbCritical, gstrAppTitle
Else
etc.
Point two is there a way of simplifying the "<" and ">" to say not equals.
Thanks in advance

hello,
okay, simple question. How in visual basic code do you tell the prompt to go to the next line in the same control on a form? In other words, how do you mimic the behavior of the enter key in code?

I saw it in/connected to a textbox.

I have a table which has duplicate records so I want to write down the code so that when the user click on a button then it should remove the duplicate records from the table.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to put a message on the screen for informing the user - mostly during some procedures that might take time or when, after a warning, I want to go on with the program but without action from the user.
Msgbox is obviously not the one I'm looking for as it needs customer acknowledge. Is there a solution for this task?
I have a database that I've split and have deployed to 7 persons.
The thing is, I have three (3) forms:
Form 1
Form 2
Form 3
...that require changing a portion of a line in each form's respective VBA codes. I need to change the directories to where an excel workbook is stored after exporting, and another is where same excel is moved to after being uploaded.
At the moment, during deployment I have to manually change the directories.
I was thinking of maybe a pop-up form with four (4) fields that allows the user to select his/her name at the start-up of their frontend app, and paste the directories in the other text boxes provided.
This information will then be used to replace the directories in the VBA.
If I were to make changes and have to redeploy, I would have to do everything manually again.
I have two tables in my Access database. Table 1 has three columns, First Name, Last Name and Phone Number. Table 2 has just 2 columns, First Name and Last Name. What I would like to do is write a VBA macro to consolidate Table 2 into Table 1 and insure any duplicate First Name-Last Name combination is removed.
Table1
Code:
F.Name L.Name Tel.N.
John Smith 12345
Larry Miller 12344
Tony Woods 12333
Table2
Code:
F.Name L.Name
Albert Black
Larry Miller
