Hi,
Is there a way that i can remove the space in between the cahracters of the string.
like: 78- ASDGFKGJ OR 78-SJDHF AJSDFH TO RESULT IN 78-ASDGFKGJ / 78-SJDHFAJSDFH
THANKS SO MUCH
I have a table that for some reason when I imported the data, placed some spaces before about 75% of the numbers in only one column. I need these numbers to be exactly the same as in another table because I use this number to compare to records and import other data depending on the corresponding numbers.
I tried doing a find and replace, but for some reason it doesn't find the spaces to replace. If I type in the space and the number, then in the replace with type only the number, it works. But I cannot do that since there are literally 10's of thousands of different numbers.
Someone mentioned a "LTRIM" command. Does this work within Access and if so, how does it work?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm trying to run an update query on a field called "DisplayURL" to remove all of the spaces that the field contains. Some have 1 space, some 5 and some have no spaces.
I'm using Access 2000 and the replace function ( Replace("DisplayURL"," ","") or Replace([DisplayURL]," ",""). However it produces an error stating that there is an "Undefined function "Replace" in expression".
I've searched online and found that Access 2000 doesn't have this function, but its easy to create a "wrapper" to make it work.
I've tried various examples online with no luck. Does anyone know what "module" I'd have to create to get this working, and how to "call" the function as I do not understand how to do this?
Thanks in advance for your help, I've been having a nightmare with this problem.
Thanks again.

I'm trying to improve the dialer that i place on microsoft access forms. basically there's a command button that dials the number that is in a text box, but we have a new job that's just come in that requires numbers to be copied and pasted into the text box. these numbers have a space between the dialing code and the telephone number and i need to make the dialer check for a space and remove it before dialing.
Here's the code for the dialing buttons:-
Private Sub cmd_Dial_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmd_dial_Click
CT.MakeCall "8" & txt_telephone.Value & "#", "", False, "", "", False
[code]...
We use a Database which has been constantly developed over 10 years using earlier versions of Access2003.We have Upgraded to Access 2013 and we are experiencing many conversion issues which I need to resolve.One key problem is that many of the earlier tables were developed with spaces in their names (Hindsight is a wonderful thing?). There are over 200 Tables that need changing. I would like to update the Table names replacing every "space" with an underscore"_". AT the same time I would also need to Update all of the QUERIES that use these particular Tables to be updated to reflect these changes made and still work as normal. I can do this manually but it will be very time consuming and perhaps someone has already had to do this when recently upgrading to Access 2013?

txtKeywords: Access Is For Smart People Smarter Than I
I would like to create a button when clicked moves txtKeywords into another textbox [txtKeywordscombined] field and removes the spaces between the words and adds hyphens
txtKeywordscombined: Access-Is-For-Smart-People-Smarter-Than-I
Would I use the 'Replace' command in even procedures to do this? Another way? Example?
In working with a database, I need to convert 39,000 text fields (i.e.: 6002.2 , 2723 , 6004.55 (Notice the spaces)(commas denote next line)) to number fields. The number of spaces is random, so I can't say "cut off the last n number of characters." There may also be characters that I'm not seeing. I'm not too keen on going through it by hand, and I have access to OpenOffice.org Calc (for those who don't know, it's basically a free version of Excel) so I can pull it into there and convert it, but it still won't get rid of the spaces though. Any ideas?

Hello,
Is it possible to remove a couple of numbers in the middle of a field by using an update query ?
I have for example: YF000491 and would like to make it YF0491.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
Ok so in excel I have some numbers that are stored as text. The reason being that they are zip codes and some begin with 0 and excel doesn't want numbers to start with 0....so when I import these into an access field that has an input mask for zip codes...will it convert these correctly since the field is a text with input mask?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 fields that I would like to automate if possible
One field is called "p/o number" and another field called "line no"
These fields are part of an ordering database
Let say I have 200 items to purchase form 10 suppliers
And form example 20 items from each supplier
What I do at present is put the order number on each line item and the line number
example
p/o number line no
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4
What I want to do is just put the first po number in the required line . Put the first line number in i.e. "1" and the macro will complete all the p/o numbers and line numbers for me as per the ones marked in red.
Example
1 1
2 2
3 3
2 1
2 2

View 7 Replies View RelatedHi, I hope everyone is well.
As part of an extraction program I'm making, I've got a table (lets call it TABLE1) with values that have trailing spaces
e.g. "ENGINEERING ", "LOGISTICS ", etc....
This has been set up as such to match the values that exist in a read only table I am linking to from another database.
I have used a query of TABLE1 as a row source for a combo box. When the values are selected in the combo box the trailing spaces are lost.
Can I remedy this?
Thanks in advance :)

Hello,
I have the following SQL query that runs perfectly. Now I need to put some blank spaces in between for the first expresion (EXPR1). At the moment, as you can see, brings me the 4 fields together.
I have tried using + ' ' + and + " " + but it won't let me as it says that the syntax is Incorrect. What should I use to get spaces?
Thank you!
**********
SET @SQL = 'SELECT dbo.brnch.addr + dbo.brnch.suburb + dbo.brnch.state + dbo.brnch.PIN AS EXPR1, dbo.individuals.posit, dbo.individuals.phn, dbo.company.name
FROM dbo.company INNER JOIN
dbo.brnch ON dbo.company.ID = dbo.brnch.com_ID INNER JOIN
dbo.individuals ON dbo.brnch.br_ID = dbo.individuals.br_ID INNER JOIN
WHERE dbo.brnch.country in (' + @OrderList + ') '
EXEC(@SQL)
My database:
*TblNames
-NameId
-FirstName
-LastName
-UnitID
-AreaID
-RoomID
*TblUnitID (this table doesn't matter)
*TblAreaID (this table doesn't matter)
*TblRoomId
-RoomID
-RoomLabel
I hope you can follow me fine up to this point.
"think of this database as a hotel"
I need a report that looks like:
LastName FirstName Area RoomLabel
name1 name1 B 1
name2 name2 B 2
[empty] [empty] B 3
name3 name3 B 4
As you see not all the rooms are occupied therefor where you see [empty] a blank space must appear or something like [empty] so it indicates that the room is empty.
My problem is that when i do my query it will only show data that has all the fields requested for instance if I know the last name of a client but i don't know their first name, the query will not show this field. even tho there is a client using a room. I don't know how to explain my problem any better. any suggestions?
I have used spaces in the names of my tables, queries, forms and reports. I'm beginning to think this may have been a mistake, as I'm having trouble with syntax.
I have a form called Number of Words. This contains an option box, for which I always want option1 to be the default whenever the form is opened.
So I tried doing Forms!Number of Words!Option1.SetFocus but it didn't like the syntax. Do I perhaps need square brackets or something?
I have 2 seperate fields within a select query (In this example Field 1 - Country and Field 2 Number).
I have combined the 2 together into one field.
However a space appears within my results i.e
Field 1 Country Field 2 - Number
----------------- -------------------
England 4
USA 10
Combined fields:
Field 3 - Combined Country + Number
--------------------------------------------
England 4
USA 10
How can I remove this space within Field 3
Thanks
Hi,
I imported an Excel spreadsheet into Access. As you know, Access will automatically create 255 characters size for each 'text' datatype.
Now the issue is, when I create a query and I specify
Right([Field Name],3) I get no/empty results. I know my query syntax is correct, but the issue is, Access is picking up the right 3 character of the 255 field size. But in reality, my field's data are not 255 characters long; the max is probably 30 characters.
So, the question is, how do I go about picking up the 'actual' right 3 characters?
Please advise. Thanks!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a db, that I used to maintain as a end user, now it's in a multiuser environment, problem is the user has to enter job numbers.
Below are all valid job numbers, therefore a mask will not work.
So I was thinking "HOW" could this be done, perhaps eliminating Spaces, underlines and dashes from this field. How would I do this on the same field for all 3 conditions (course i would have to backtrack)
