Using 2010 (accdb format) on windows 7.I'm trying to convert a memo field's format from Plain Text to Rich text. The problem is that every time I try to select the Rich Text format option the field immediately changes back to Plain Text.
Just as a test a created a new memo field in the same table and set this to Rich Text (worked fine) then copied the records for the Plain text memo field to the new memo field. Unfortunately this removed all line breaks so instead of my text looking like
I'm using the sendobject method from access and it always puts the body of the email in plain text. Is there a way to specify HTML (besides the obvious of changing the format once it's open)?
Im creating an update form for users that arent particularly tech-savvy, so i want them to be able to insert page breaks without having to manually insert "<br />" into the form field as it saves into the access database. is there a script or maybe just an option within access to render the field as plain text (with page breaks whenever the return key is pressed)? thanks!
I have a table field defined as Plain Text. On a form I have a memo field set up also defined as Plain Text. When I enter data into the memo field on the form and save it, I see HTML characters in the field on the table.
I attached some screen shots of the table definition, form field properties and a look at the data saved to the table with the HTML characters.

Hi, I have the following problem which I hope someone can help me with:
I am importing a CSV file, one of the field in which contains times in the following format: 1200 (ie this is 12:00, th text file does not contain the : separator)
I want these to be recognised as time values by access, which at the moment only treats them as text. Is there any way i can run a query on this table to convert the numbers into times? I can do it in excel using concatenate to add in the :, but access does not have this function.
I have a table with a field called 'dereg_date' which is formatted as text, an example is as follows:
2006-07-07 00:00:00.000
I want to be able to convert this field to a date. I have tried using a query with Cdate([dereg_date]), however it doesn't convert it and just returns #Error for all the records.
Has anyone got any ideas on this? I need this fixed fairly urgently as my superiors are getting quite impatient!
Is it possible to convert the text field that comes in this form:
:80421
to the following datetime format: MM/DD/YY 12:00:00AM

I have a table with person's name, clubname, cluburl. In a report I can show the clubname,but when I export to HTML, can this clubname become a hyperlink to the clubURL ? (While showing the clubname..) Anybody ideas ?
My Db had an email_address field which was a hyperlink. For various reasons I had to change it to a text field. However, now every email shows as: some_email@domain.com#http://some_email@domain.com# Is there a simple way of cleaning this up so I am only left with the email address? In other words is it possible to create an update query to remove everything between # signs (including the # signs)?

I have a date field in a form which is not compulsory.
I then pull this date field into a query to create a report.
If the date is not entered then is it possible for "Date not entered" to be written into the report automatically. I have tried playing around with nulls but have had no luck.
I have a short text field where numbers such as "15.00", "2233.56", "-300.00" are stored. Now I want to convert the text field to numeric so that I have actually 15.00 or -300.00 stored as a double. I am going to do calculations on these fields. How can I achieve this conversion?
I have a string that includes mm/dd/yyyy + person's name. All of this is concatenated and is recognized as a text value. Then I want to convert all of these characters to a number. Since each character has an ASCII code, I would like to find ASCII equivalent.
In Excel, this would involve using something like the CODE ( ) function, but that only gives the numerical equivalent for the first character in the string, but I want all characters at once.
When I try the VAL ( ) function, it returns the first character which is the number of the month.
I have a program abc.mdb and abc.mde, I made some changes to the codes in abc.mdb and now I have been trying to convert the access file from abc.mdb to abc.mde so that the users are able to use the updated file.

I have a text file delimited and uploaded the information to a new Access Table. One field "MarketValue" has a number followed with a percentage (i.e. 100%, 54%, etc..), however it converts as a text column.

In a table called Appointments and the field called Plastics we enter the initials of surgeons. However in a report i want the initials converted to full text - in the example below the initials are HJC

I have an old form (see oldform pics) and a new form (see newform pics). The old form has controls on it which work just dandy (well, at least they display and store information). The new, tabbed, form however does not. What's up with that? I simply created a form, created a tab control, went to my old form in design view, selected some objects, right-clicked-copy, went back to the new tabbed form, right-clicked-paste somewhere in the middle on the tab control, and... Presto! Nothing.... Just #Name?
Strange thing is, when I create the control, for example InitialCall, myself or using the wizard, the #Name? disappears, so then it works like it should.
What's going on? I need to do this for a bunch of controls.... and I would hate to have to do them all 140+ all over again by hand.... copy/paste would be so nice..... :)
Is there an easy way to convert an old ACCESS db from version 2003 to version 2010?
My ACCESS db is .mdb and I want to convert it to .accdb as version 2010. It has hundreds of modules that may take awhile to export. Exporting is the only way I know to transfer from one db to another.
Hi, Can anybody help me ? I've a case where ms access displays oracle's numeric field as text where msaccess is linked to oracle.The possible reason could be when we don't specify precision in declaring the filed in oracle table, default precision is 38 which ms access cannot hold. So, it(driver) converts this to text field.But this is with MSORCL32.dll(microsoft driver for oracle).Is there any other possible reason that will result this behavior?
The following are the configuration details: 1.Oracle 9i on Unix server. 2.MSAccess on Windows XP. MSAccess holds linked data of Oracle server.
Clng([text field]) to convert a text field into a number so that I can link in a query. Because it is an informix database, I cannot change the underlying table format.

I am building a database using data imported from Excel workbooks. The dates in the workbooks are formatted as text in the YYYYMMDD format. Is there a way to convert this into date format during the import or after? I am pulling in a lot of different workbooks and trying to avoid having to reformat each individual workbook prior to importing them.
I have a text field like, 11242010, and I need to be able to convert it into 3 int fields, day, month, year. I am trying to do this in a query and have create the following three;
DateD: IIf([DATE] Is Not Null,(CInt(Left(Right([DATE],6),2)))) DateM: IIf([DATE] Is Not Null,(CInt(Left([DATE],2)))) DateY: IIf([DATE] Is Not Null,(CInt(Right([DATE],4)))) Time: IIf([TIME] Is Not Null,[TIME])
When I have a value of Null, i keep getting #Error, I think when it's null.
