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.
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)?
Thanks,

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
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!

This is what the form is displaying:
14:16:32: check OK: 500<10000andS235='s460'>
14:16:32: check OK: 500<10000andS235='s355'>
14:16:32: check failed:too short 500<1000231231 >
14:16:32: Ready ...
There is some coloring in the text but I'm not display that here (copy/paste of the textbox)
This is the HTML behind it (? txtbox in imm.window):
14:16:32: <font color=black>check OK: 500<10000andS235='s460'</font><br />14:16:32: <font color=black>check OK: 500<10000andS235='s355'</font><br />14:16:32: <font color=red><strong>check failed:too short 500<1000231231 </strong></font><br />14:16:32: <font color=green><strong>Ready ... </strong></font><br />
The problem is in the red > that are added to each line. I have no clue where they are coming from, in fact: they are NOT in the HTML.When I display this piece of HTML in IE I don't get the red > behind each line.I have tried to use <p> of <div> instead of <br/> but that makes no difference
Code:
Forms!frm_Calculationlog.txtmsg = Forms!frm_Calculationlog.txtmsg & "<div>" & _
Format(Now(), "hh:nn:ss") & ": " & _
IIf(strColor <> "", "<font color=" & strColor & ">", "") & IIf(booBold, "<strong>", "") & strMessage & _
IIf(booBold, "</strong>", "") & IIf(strColor <> "", "</font></div>", "")
I can assure you that the > is NOT in the strMessage ... f.e. this is the ouput of strMessage on the first line: 500 <10000 and 'S235' ='s460'
strColor is a string in which I can set a color ("red", "blue")
booBold is a boolean with which I can set text to bold

I have a DB where I want text entry of the primary key to adhere to a certain format.
I'm already using a mask of >LL000000 to force two capital letter and 6 numbers.
Is there any way I can force extra restrictions, by making for example the first 3 characters to have to be AB1, thus making every entry follow format:
AB1<number><number><number><number><number>
(FYI: Access 2003)
I have a table with a large text field in it, among other fields.
What I am trying to do, in a query, is to show only the characters that are between brackets "[" and "]" for that field. And, if there is more than one pair of brackets, show only what lies between the last pair of brackets.
What I've tried so far is use InStr() functions to find these brackets and then use a Mid() function to show the enclosed text. But, it doesn't work well and it gives me a very complex query! In fact, I don't think it is a good idea to even use these functions in my query. That would probably slow it down a lot.
Can someone show me a function that I could use to do what I'm looking for? I need function names that could help me make better searches for more informations.
Thank you!
Hi
I'm new to forum and can't find an answer to this problem. I am using Access 2002 and have a memo field in a form that I want people to be able to type in as much text as they want. This is then displayed in a report. The form accepts the text with no problems however when I view it in the report it has been cut to 255 characters as if it is a text box. I have set the properties to 'can grow' to no avail. I have searched the MS Knowledge base for a solution with no luck. I admit I'm not an expert in Access and would really appreciate some help as I have been trying to overcome this problem for days.
In my website I've created a admin login with some ASP pages to edit and update stories.
I use an acces database and installed HTMLarea for WYSIWYG editing.
When I update text, all the HTML tags show als plain text in my website.
For example: I make a headline bold in my wysiwig editor and I update my text, it just shows: <B> here's a new story </B>
If I look in my database I have a field 'text' wich is a memofield and I can see the html tags have been stored into my database. <B>here's a new story</B>
It looks like it doesnt recognize the html tags as HTML, but just as plain text...
Can I use HTML-tags in an acces database and how do I get them to show up right in my website?
I use this bit of code to generate an Outlook email body with the contents of strBody. How can I modify this so the HTML generated is in "Courier new" font size 11?
With MailOutLook
.To = Recipient
.CC = RecipientCopy
.Subject = Subject
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.Body = StrBody
.display
End With
I am simply trying to find text on a Web Browser Control htm page.
Using MS Access 2003, I have a form that includes the activeX Web Browser Control. On load of the form I initialize the web like below:

strURL = "http://www.justice.gov/eoir/profcond/chart.htm"

The page loads fine.

Public oRange As Object
Public myfindFirst As Boolean
Public intTextLength As Long
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
Dim sSearch As String
Dim strText As String

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the following code which works perfectly BUT I want to be able to add another line of text if users enable a checkbox.

I am slowly getting more familiar with Access but still come unstuck on the simplest of things at times.
I'm about to connect my DB to word. So I made a form where the user has to choose what entry to export. The data is inserted in a word file in different bookmarks. But there is one special task to insert the rich text so in this case the html formatted text is displayed like this:
Code:
<html><div>asdf</div></html>
My Text is inserted like this:
Code:
wdApp.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("-Bookmarkname-").Range.Text = Lrs("-ColumnName-")
Lrs is a Recordset.
So how is it possible to display the html code right in the Word doc?
Wise one, I have looked for this throughout the forum but could not fiend an answer. Could you help? I have found a little script to display the number of characters entered into a text box so at to warn the user if they are getting close to the maximum number of characters allowed.
See http://www.databasedev.co.uk/counting_characters.html
I cannot get it to work. The problem is that I can only enter 1 character. It counts it but then highlights the character I just typed. I then have to click next to it to input the next character. Any Ideas?

I need, in some way or another, to be able to import an HTML code from an HTML file into Access. It would be ideal if the end result is a table with one memo field named "HTML".
I know is seems strange, but I need the code itself. I've managed to do a bit of duct-tape work, and import from HTML, but this results in only the text of the HTML code (Meaning the text of the web page, not the tags).
I know I'm crazy for wanting this, but is there anyone out there who can give direction/guidance?
More web-ish than vba-ish,

Hi,
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..... :)
I Have Created A Client Reference Allocation Screen Which Makes The Clients Reference From Details In A Number Of Text Boxes.
For Example:
Client Number: 0010, Forename: Andrew, Surname: Bloggs, Year: 2007,
Occupation: Driver.
Client Reference = 0010ab-dr07
I Have Copied The Text Boxes So The Information Is Automatically Displayed To Create The Client Reference, But Rather Than Shortening The Copied Text Boxes To Show Only The First Few Characters Is There A Way Of Limiting The Number Of Characters Shown In The Copied Text Boxes??

I have a table of 1216 records. The Title fields contain extra notes which I would like to remove. All of the notes have /'s around them. I would like to remove all of the text between the /'s and all of the /'s themselves.
Example:
ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH /ALL EXCEPT JAPAN/ /FOR INSTITUTIONS/
Should be:
ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH
I don't know how to do this, but I can do it in MS Excel or Access--whichever one is easier.
Thanks for help in advance.

I have a field that contains the following data:
FirstName:Pedro LastName:Campos Restaurant:BI Strand Location:North Month:March

Field4: North
How to extract the information I want into different fields
I am taking a filing index of City Council Resolutions which is currently based in Excel and transferring the index to an Access database I am building. An issue I am having is that the Resolutions being indexed have a subject description that ranges from about 100 characters to +700. The new Access database must hold the complete contents of the Excel spreadsheet.
The direction I have taken is to divide up the subject field into three text fields as needed ([Subject1], [Subject2], [Subject3]) each with up to 255 characters. In reports I will simply combine these fields into one large text box so the user will see them as one large subject description. Memo fields are not an option because in the near future the database backend will be moved to SQL and I understand that SQL does not always play well with memo fields.
How to split characters:
Example: my expression is
2+12*1+10
I want split this and put it to 4 text field
field1: 2
field2: 12
field3: 1
field4: 10
I am using Access 2007 to update a page on an external website (amongst other things) from an Access form using VBA, but that page has recently changed. I have dealt with most of the issues around this, but there is still a problem that I cannot see how to resolve. Previously all the fields on the page were uniquely named, and so I was able to assign values from my form to them using
Code:
.document.all.item(fieldname).value=...
But now there appear to be identically named fields on the webpage and I cannot see how to differentiate between them in my code. I have attached a text file with the two relevant sections, containing the HTML for the two relevant sections on that page only (the code for the whole page runs to 8000+ lines and I can add the lot if really necessary) and as you will see the names for things like runs (name="result[][runs]") and wickets ("result[][wickets]") are the same in both sections. So how do I tell one from the other in my code?
Currently I have the following:
With objIE
.Visible = True
....
'1st innings - new HTML field names but duplicated on the webpage
.Document.all.Item("result[][runs]").value = nz(Me![runs_for#])
.Document.all.Item("result[][wickets]").value = nz(Me![wickets_for#])
[Code] .....
How can I differentiate between the HTML field names in the attached file as simply as possible in my code above?
