I have a database containing a mixture of upper and lower case input. I can make upper case appear on the screen by using > in the format box in the property section for each field. This works great but the same old uncorrected stuff remains on the database. How can I get the database to store the corrected upper case data after I have entered it in lower case?
I have a field in the table that contains numbers and a mix of upper and lower case words.
I would like to have this to it check for numbers and then makes the first letter in a word upper case and the remainder lower case.
I know you can do it like this >L<????????? but that dow not work if the word lengths are different. Unless I am missing soemthing.
Example of text in field is this:
100 RCSCC MAJOR PAIN
I would like the RCSCC to remain in UPPERCASE and then move to the next work and change the first letter to UPPER CASE and the remaining letters lower case then repeat this on the next word if there is one in the field.
Hi All, I want to change existing entries in a table to upper case format. I know that it is possible with a query (update I suppose) using an expression with the "UPPER" function. But I am not quite sure how to implement it in Access. A little help would be welcome...
I have a small issue where I do have names written in UPPER CASE, I would like to transform them in Capitalized (each word), I understand that I cannot use the same function as in excel (PROPER) but something like StrConv, but as I do have a ‘comma’ in between the names I have something like that
I supply data to our customer for their system, a single table listing 1.9 millon records. 1 of the 7 fields is unique but the rest in the table can contain duplicated data. My problem is caplial letters vs lower case. How can I query my table to find just the mixed and lower case versions of for example "BIRMINGHAM" ie "birmingham" or "Birmingham". My customers system is rejecting the Data due to some lower case entries.
hello if any one can help me create a query that pick out lower case characters from the beggining of words, and the beggining of each word in a sentance , my christmas would be made!

I know when creating a text field in the format option you can use the > or < sign so that when text is entered it automatically changes it to uppercase or lowercase - but i need it to be Title Case, any one know how I can do this....
The table happens to only have one column in it, so each record only has one field..
How do I convert the entire thing to lower case?
I can not just convert the display info to lower case, this table is used as a cross-reference data table and I need to physically convert all the data in the entire table to lower case.
Oh, and I need this to be a macro of some sort, since the data is re-imported on a regular basis, and will re-convert to upper case on the import.
Hi, Is it possible to filter out entries beginning with a capital letter with a query? Ive tried Like UCase, but that doesn't work, and there is no upper case wild card. (I am creating a book index and want to have a look only at the entries that are people's names)
Just been searching around, found a few posts of uppercase questions, none that quite fit with mine, anyway,
Basically, the data I am working on produces names as such "JoeBloggs" "FredPerry"
Anyway, Im going to use a query to seperate these out into first name and last name, but, I can't seem to find a way to specify a capital letter as a wild card. So far:
CapPos: InStr(2,[calllogs]![CalledNumber],"A")
Then I am going to use the mid function to seperate the two, depending on the position of the first capital letter.
But I just need to replace "A" with something that will find any capital letter.
table name : Schedule Field 1 = Vessel code Field 2 = Voyage Field 3 = ETA Field 4 = berthed Field 5 = Sailed
there is a query by using above table and data entry form based on that query.
need to add following facilitate
While data entering, if given voyage number is already exist for the particular vessel code, msg should be pop up immediately at that time saying " This voyage number is already exist"
I'm using the standard duplicates query on a field called trackTitle:
SELECT TrackTitles.trackTitle, TrackTitles.akTrack FROM TrackTitles WHERE (((TrackTitles.trackTitle) In (SELECT [trackTitle] FROM [TrackTitles] As Tmp GROUP BY [trackTitle] HAVING Count(*)>1 ))) ORDER BY TrackTitles.trackTitle;
I need to be flagged if there's a title in a different case - for example, the track "NEXT Year" might have versions appear as "Next Year" or "next year". These versions would need to be flagged and then corrected by hand.
Eyeballing a list of 4,000 new tracks isn't cutting it.
If I could get the duplication to be case sensitive, I could then use a left([trackTitle], 5) to weed down the review list - much easier to pick out the thorns.
Any ideas on how I could make that duplicates query case sensitive?
Is there a Input Mask or Rule Validation that would automatically or require user to input data into Access field in a proper case format? Such as my text would be "My Text" when viewing the actual table? If so how would you do it when in Design View of Table.
I'm very new to access and i'm trying to write an input mask for a first/last name field where the first letter capitalizes automatically. Is the input mask the correct avenue and if so how do i write it? I can make the first letter caps through the > and continue but i'd like for the rest to continue on indefinitely as to not restrict the length of the field.
If I write a select case statement for a field X i.e. 6 to 7 for example will this:1. Select any fields X where the number is greater than or equal to 6 but less than (and not including) 7B. Select any fields X where the number is greater than or equal to 6 but includes decimels of 7 i.e. 7.5 ORC. Select any fields X where the number is greater than or equal to 6 but includes but literally only includes cases where the the whole number 7 appears>I only ask because in an example in a book I am looking at says:Case 10000 to 20000......Case 20001 to 30000I would have through the word "to" means until but not including but in this case the field that equals 20000 would never be selected?
i just know some query designing and some amount of VBA for making small event procedures.I want to know how we can use VBA when our queries becomes complex to replace the queries and to extend the functionality.how to use recordsets in a VBA function.
I've purchased & downloaded this Zip Code Database which has every Zip zcode in the U.S. which I use for different projects/reasons. The problem is, ALL of the data is upper case letters. I was wondering if in Access (or Excel) is there any way I could convert all of the letters (except the first letter) from upper case to lower case letters?
