Modules & 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.
View 2 Replies View Related[Enter] Character Creating New Record During Import
Dec 14, 2007Hello all. I've tried searching the forums as well Google for an answer for my problem, but perhaps I'm not searching on the correct key words. Would someone please point me to a post that addresses the below issue.
My company has a customer service (CS) application where our CS agents document CS requests. For reporting purposes, they drop a text file containing open service requests that I then import in Access 2003 so I can analyze the data. I've had the vendor use È (ALT+0200) as the delimiter and double-quotes to enclose text.
This has been working well until the application vendor upgraded the app last week. Now, whenever a user hits the [Enter] key to create a new line in the comments section of the application, a new line is created during the import process into Access.
When I view the text file I can see the Enter Character because it is displayed as (except it looks more like a rectangle standing in its short side.)
I thought if creating a macro to run on the text file to delete the enter characters, but I can't find a way to systemically find the character. So far, the only solution on my end is to manually delete the characters, but that's unrealistic because there are thousands of records.
Thank you in advance for pointing me to a helpful post or commenting here.

Textbox Filter Allowing Only 1 Character...
Mar 7, 2006I have a filter (via textbox) on a form that only allows 1 character at a time to be typed (!!?) ie: after typing in "a" it highlights it, which means the next letter I type in, replaces the "a".When I use the mouse to re-click after the letter entered, it does allow further characters.What am I missing here?The code for the filter:Private Sub txtClientSearch_Change() On Error GoTo ErrorHandler Forms!frmClient.Filter = "Name Like " & Chr$(34) & "*" & Forms!frmClient!txtClientSearch.Text & "*" & Chr$(34) Forms!frmClient.FilterOn = TrueExitProcedure: Exit Sub ErrorHandler: DisplayError "txtClientSearch_Change", Me.Name Resume ExitProcedureEnd SubMany thanks!..Is it anything to do with Focus?

Forms :: Unbound TextBox Character Limit
Feb 17, 2015I started off with a blank form and added a command button, three labels and a text box. None of these are bound to anything.
The sole purpose of this form is to show the progress of a VB script I've written that retrieves all the table names and the number of records contained in each. This information is also exported to Excel.
Everything works great apart from the log I'm producing inside the text box. This log is just a replica of what is being exported to Excel. Once the log reaches a length of 1,837 characters, it fails to have anything else added to it. The code below is where I have an error returned.
Code:
Me.LogList1.Text = Me.LogList1.Text & vbCrLf & tdf.Name & "|" & intRecCount
The error I receive is "Run-time error '2176': The setting for this property is too long.". From what I've read elsewhere though, an unbound text box is meant to have a character limit of a good few thousand. Around 60,000 from what I remember.
I did try a few other options such as using a label or a listbox but they weren't great. The label doesn't support a scroll bar and if the text goes past the size of the label it doesn't scroll down by default. A list box worked but I want the user to be able to copy the text after in-case the Excel report doesn't work for whatever reason.
I could possibly setup a table with a single field set to 'memo' and bound the text box to that. I don't know if that works though as I don't want to have to create an extra table. This form is to be used across other databases when required and this solution would add an unnecessary table to the list (which I could code out) and also means the table has to be exported to the other database along with the form.
Why my text box is limited to around 1,837 characters?

Pressing Enter After Entry Into Textbox
Jan 18, 2006I have a textbox and a command button by this textbox that performs an action based on the value in this textbox when clicked.
I want to be able to press the enter key after entry into the textbox and have it perform the same thing the command button does.
I tried Calling the commndbutton procedure from the OnEnter event from of textbox, but it tries to process as soon as i "start entering data into the textbox".
I hope i am clear? How do i achieve this, so that by pressing the enter key after entering a value in my textbox, my textbox value is processed, instead of clicking the command button.
This is just to enhance usability. Any help will be mucho appreciatied :D

General :: Erasing Text From Textbox Upon Enter Without Deleting Variable Value
Mar 21, 2014I have a form that has a textbox in it. I enter text into the text box by scanning a bar code. I then use openreport.cmd to pass the variable in the text box to the report I generate. The report then has a button that when clicked references the variable that I passed to it.
Essentially the problem I am having is that when I set the textbox back to blank, it also erases the contents of the new variable created. I want to either delete the value from the textbox upon scanning the bar code each time, or highlight the value in the textbox for it to be deleted upon the first key stroke. I had read about setting focus to the textbox, but I have been unable to get that to work. Here is my current code for what I am doing.
Code in the form:
stPartNum = Me.ScannerTxt
Label = stPartNum
DoCmd.OpenReport "RptLabels", acViewPreview, , , acWindowNormal, stPartNum
Code in report button:
partnum = Me.OpenArgs
Mandate Users To Enter Data In Textbox Before Proceeding To Record On Form
Nov 21, 2012Any way (VBA script, etc) to make it mandatory for a user to enter data in a textboxes in a form before proceeding to the next record on a form? I know I am able to do this in the table by selecting the value "Yes" in the Required area in the General Tab but I was wondering if there is a VBA script you can enter it in a form instead.
On attachment is an Access Database in winzip. In the __Property form, I want to make it madatory for users to enter data in the County Shapefile Gross Acres, Township, Mineral Severance Tract, and Unit name fields before proceeding to a new record. If data is not entered in these textboxes for these field, then a person will not be allowed to go to the next record.
Special Form
Dec 29, 2005Hello,
I need your help.
in a budget application I'ma making, I have a table with all the budgets names, a table with the 12 months of the year, and a table with the budget, the months and the amount allocated for every budget topic for every month.
In order to facilitate the yearly view, i would like to build a special form that shows all the budgets for every month. Each column would be a diffetent month, the fist one being filled by the budget topics (a bit like an axecl sheet).
How can I build this form?
It is very helpfull for the application because it helps the user to fill the budgets month by month, but with keeping a yearly view (instead of having a long list of 3 columns, 1 for the budgets names, one fir the monthes, and one for the amounts).
Thanks in advance for your help.

Creating A Special Form
Aug 3, 2005Okay I have a table with info about a computer and the usernames who can use this computer. Over the course of the day or week I have to add more users to this computer. I don't want to keep making a new record with the same computer information and only changing the usernames. I want to do it so I can go back to this form with the computer info. and username and click a button or something which allows me to add another user to the record. Essentially just adding another column. How would I do this? I'm pretty basic in Access so go easy on me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGenerating Special ID For New Record
Jan 6, 2006Ok here is the next step i need to figure out :)
I need to have unique ID for each of my record in my form, and it should be created automatically.It should look like this:
AB060106-1
AB060106-2
AB060107-1
AB060107-2
AB060107-3
AB060108-1
and so on.
Idea is to have two or three letters at the front that never change, then 6 numbers that represent current date (year,month,day), and then incrementing numbers for that day.Whenever day changes, this last number starts from 1 up to 999 and next day it resets to 1 again.
Any ideas where should i start from? Thanks
Help With Special Characters In Access
Jun 14, 2006Hi,
I'm not sure whether i'm in the right forum or not but i'll tell you my problem and if i'm not you can point me in the right direction.
I have a form with a text area which allow's the user to submit a comment to an Access database.
I get the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
but this only seems to happen when the following characters are used " . / * : ! # & - ? " in the message.
Can the settings in Access be changed to correct this problem
or is it a coding problem??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
