View 1 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Display All Until A Special Character Is Found
Feb 3, 2014L=Letter , X=number. Examples consisting of three parts (it can be more than three).
1. LLLLXXXXXX_LLLLXXXXXX_LLLLXXXXXX
OR
2. LLLLXXXXXX LLLLXXXXXX LLLLXXXXXX
OR
3. LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX
OR
4. LLLL_LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX
OR
5. LL LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX
I would like to develop a function that takes a string that is made up of three parts or more and each part is separated by an underscore "_", space, or "&". There is no character that takes precedence over the other. It will always be only a single character which seperates the parts.
The check will always be done from the left. It should carry out the following actions:
1. Display all characters from the left until it reaches the first seperator "_" underscore OR "space" or "&"
2. Check only Part1 if it is made up of 4 letters and the rest 6 numbers (see 1-3 above). If that is the case only return part 1.
3. If part one only has letters and no numbers (see above 4-5) return all parts. Part one can consist of two letters or more.
I have started the function for step 1 above that searches for the character "_" underscore and display all characters until the first "_" is reached. I would like to include the same for "Space" or "&" in this function.
Once that is done I would like to do step 2 and step 3.
Code:
Function SearchforChar(strTest As String) As String
Dim test2 As String
Dim strUntil As String
strUntil = "_"
test2 = Left(strTest, InStr(1, strTest, strUntil) - 1)
[Code] ....
Answer3:
Full name with all parts should be returned for all above four cases under situation 3.

Any Special Character That Will Allow To Store Date Field Blank?
Apr 30, 2013I am building a database for a client who manufactures car parts. I have a table to store vehicle model. Each model has a date range of production. I have two build dates from and to. Both of these fields are setup as date fields on the table. I made both fields required with a mask for validation. In the "build date to" field if a car is still in production I need to leave the field blank. Is there any special character that will allow me to store a required field blank.

Modules & VBA :: Code To Find Particular Character In A String
Aug 29, 2014I've got a string variable with a value that could be typically

The string needs to be split into its three parts, the pipe symbol being the separator. Then the middle numeric string must be converted back to a long.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDelete Only FK On The Many Side And The Record On The One Side
Jun 25, 2007Hi,
I want to Delete only FK on the many side first and the record on the one side by one click of a button. I wrote some code which sometimes works and sometimes it does not!!
I wonder if any one have a better idea or doing this please?
Private Sub Delete_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim n As Integer, i As Integer
Dim vStart As Integer
Dim vEnd As Integer
Dim vSite As Integer
Dim vRCCID As Integer
vSite = Forms![frmSite].Form![SiteID]
vRCCID = Forms![frmSite]![Roads Construction Consent].Form![RCCID]
vStart = Me.PhaseStart - 1
vEnd = Me.PhaseEnd + 1
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblPhase")
rs.MoveLast
n = rs.RecordCount
rs.MoveFirst
If n > 0 Then
For i = 1 To n
If rs![SiteID] = vSite Then
If rs![PhaseNumber] > vStart And rs![PhaseNumber] < vEnd Then
rs.Edit
rs![RCCID] = Null
rs.Update
End If
End If
rs.MoveNext
Next i
End If
rs.Close
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
Set rs = Nothing
'/////////////////////////////////////////////
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE RCCID FROM tblRCC WHERE RCCID = " & vRCCID & ""
'//////////////////////////////////////////////
End Sub
tblRCC is the one side of the relationship and tblPhase is the many side.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

General :: How To Find A Record
Jul 9, 2014I have developped a table and some forms reated to that.Since the main survey is quite long, I developed 4 forms to enter the data. Now I have a question related to data entry.Suppose I start entering data for one record and I decide not to fill up all the 4 forms, I simply decide to go back to it later. How can I go to the same record and keep entering the data from where I left?
If I am in Datasheet view, I can easily use the Find option to look for the record. However, I dont seem to be able to understand how I can open the form of that record to enter the remaining data.

General :: Find If A Network Server Is On
Jun 20, 2012My DB is split into BE and FE into about 5 Laptops. The DB is for entering personal information of pensioners.
sometimes it becomes necessary to take a computer away from the office to capture data of sick and aged pensioners. Now if you take the server (BE) out all the other clients (FE) will not work, and if you take a client out it wont work.
To solve the issue I decided to install a standalone version of the db in all the clients. If out of the network, the standalone DB is used and later captured data to betransfered to the server.
My question: Is there a code that I can use to check if my server is available to start the FE or if unavailable to start the standalone?
