Modules & VBA :: Invalid Character In Import String
Jun 16, 2015I have a program that has been working for a year or so, it imports records form a text file created by a web site. Someone has entered a hex("1A", "A8" in a name field. It is shutting my program down. I tried a alphanumeric check to replace it and a length check to try and skip the record but the program thinks it is at the end of the file and quits reading records. Is there a way to get rid of characters like this in vba?
"5407 MUYF3I23 GIS..LE "
Here is what I have tried
Code:
If Len(strread) <> 591 Then
MsgBox "Invalid Record Read " & strread
GoTo Skip_Loop
End If
If AlphaNumeric(CStr(Trim(Mid(strread, 32, 11)))) Then
!HT_FName = CStr(Trim(Mid(strread, 32, 11)))
[Code] .....

String Validation (string Must Start With Http://)
Mar 12, 2007Hi all,
I was looking for some help. I am trying to setup a table with a field for web address. People are entering www.website.com etc however I need them to make sure it starts with http:// Is their any way I can put validation on the field to make sure that this is entered? Or maybe I could use an input mask?
Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

Search For A String Within A String
Oct 27, 2006I have a column called CPU_S within a table called workstation that contains sample text like P111 933
I want to use the update command to search the CPU_S column for entries that contain this in there string then add P3 to a column called CPU_N
So far I have the code below but I don't know how to search a column entry for a specific string within a string. Can this be done and how?
UPDATE workstations SET CPU_N = "P4"
WHERE CPU_S = ;
Invalid Use Of The .(dot)...
Mar 2, 2006I get the following error:
"There is an invalid use of the .(dot) or ! operator or invalid parentheses."
This is the code that errors out:
Code:If Not IsNull(Forms![ctrlpanel]![subEditUsers].Form!cmbSection) Thensection = Forms![ctrlpanel]![subEditUsers].Form!cmbSectionEnd If
All it's doing is checking to see if a user selected anything from the combo box. Thanks!

Invalid Argument
Jul 25, 2005Hi All,
I have 2 errored records in my large access database which I am unable to delete. As I scroll over either of these records I get the error "Invalid Argument" but the database is functional otherwise... Until Today!
Other users can get into the database but I get the "Invalid Argument" error before it even loads the main form.
Can anyone help please?
Many Thanks

INVALID SQL Syntax
Sep 13, 2007I am receiving this error;
"Invalid SQL syntax, cannot use multiple columns in a column level CHECK constraint."
Without explaining my disaster of a situation anyone have any ideas?
Invalid Use Of Null
Mar 6, 2008I did a quick search and really didn't find anything related to this. Though, I'm sure it's pry happened before.
I have started work on a new front end and have several linked tables to our back end. As well as copies of them for the purpose of the front end. On load the backend tables update the front ends tables, and on exit the front end tables append/update the back end tables.
I began work on a data entry form for fields residing in the front end tables and found that when I attempted to make a command button for the purpose of record navigation I received the error "Invalid Use of Null" and all of my options were empty (Concerning the control functions) and everytime I changed action categories i recieve the same error.
Also, I tried to work around it with a combo box for searching, only I don't have the option available to make it search.
So . . . I tried to circumvent with an unbound text box that performed a macro searchforrecord but I receive and error that the table I'm search within is not open.
Any clues would be great, any fix would be immaculate. I'm a bit flabbergasted.
Invalid Use Of Null... NOT!
Jun 24, 2005I have a left-join query where I know that some of the values in the left-hand table have no corresponding values in the right-hand table...that's why I used a left-join: I want all the values in the left-hand table to show up. I would expect that records without corresponding values in the right-hand table would show up as nulls (I swear I have dozens of other queries that work this way) but in this one, they show up as "#error" instead.
This is a problem because I want to do some calculations on this field. Normally I would use the nz function to change the nulls to zeros.
So,
1. Any idea why this is happening?
2. Is there a way to change the #error values to zeroes, similar to using the nz function?
HEre's the SQL:
SELECT FeederInventorySummary.machine, FeederInventorySummary.Size, FeederInventorySummary.Leaf, FeederInventorySummary.Type, FeederInventorySummary.CountOfFeederID, FeederNeedsSummary_7.FeederQty
FROM FeederInventorySummary LEFT JOIN FeederNeedsSummary_7 ON (FeederInventorySummary.Type = FeederNeedsSummary_7.Type) AND (FeederInventorySummary.Leaf = FeederNeedsSummary_7.Leaf) AND (FeederInventorySummary.Size = FeederNeedsSummary_7.FeederSize) AND (FeederInventorySummary.machine = FeederNeedsSummary_7.ActualMachine);
For every record without a corresponding record in FeederInventorySummary_7, the FeederQty field shows up as #error.

Invalid Argument
Sep 17, 2007I have a database that uses quite a lot of outside sources. There are multiple users and each one of us now are getting the invalid argument error. When we received it before it was because the DB was huge. It has since been made smaller. What are other reasons as to why we are getting this error again? We have to get out of the database, compact it and then go back in in order to do anything with it.
Please help! Thank you.
Invalid Bracketing Of Name 'mdb.'.
Jan 13, 2008I am trying to import data into Excel using a New Database Query, but receive the error "Invalid Bracketing of Name 'mdb.'." I can preview the data in the Query wizard, so it seems like Excel is finding the data, but I always get the above error.
I have performed the exact same process on another machine and it works fine. Is it possible that excel or access settings are causing this error, or perhaps my ms office is corrupt?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
" Invalid Name
Feb 24, 2008While trying to create a query in a new database on tables linked from a converted 2003 to 2007 database. When including tables in my query, two of the three say " is not a valid name. Check for special characters...etc. I have renamed the tables, verified field names and there are not any special charcter. Can someone tell me where else to look for such problem. It will let me buid the query but not use it. I appreciate any help you can give me. I have built queries using the same tables in the converted database with no issues.

Jun 19, 2005I have a form that runs a simple macro. The problem is I'm getting the "Invalid Use Of Null" error becuase some of the fields are empty. There are 12 fields....one for each month. I know there's a way to use the nz function but I do not know how and where to apply it for each field.
example:
quantity month total price
10 jan: $3548.00
feb:
10 mar: $3548.00
The Macro calculates the totals for the year.
Thanks in advance
Invalid Use Of Null
Mar 17, 2006Hi all,
I've got this line of code under my form_current() envent (frmEmails)
str2 = Forms!frmMain!txtSQL.Value
but when I start the DB I get the Invalid use of Null error,
now, it seems that I need to define my txtSQL.value = "" but am not sure where. I've tried under frmMain_load event but it seems that's not the right spot...
is it problem that I had put that code on form_current() or is that OK and I just need to define my txtSQL.valuse somewhere else.
thanks a lot

Invalid Use Of Null
Sep 12, 2006Hi,
I have some code that runs on Form_Load()
It basically uses a case statement to say if a value in a combo box equals one set of values then make somethings visible and invisible, and for all other values make some other things visible and invisible.
The problem I have is that I have defined the variable as a String and if the combo box does not yet have a value when it loads, which is quite likely then it will return an error - "Invalid Use of Null".
Can anyone help to see any way around this?
Thanks,
Dan
Invalid Name Error - Why?
May 4, 2005I’m getting an error I can’t understand!
Access says the name I have for my query is not valid. I can’t see why and the help is no help at all!!
Error says:
‘orders_by_project_query’ is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.
Here is the name of my query
‘orders_by_project_query’
I have also tried:
‘OrdersRptQry’
‘qryOrdersByProject’
All the above get the same result.
The query is a look up on two tables to obtain subtotals for a number of orders.
The SQL from the query in SQL view looks like this:
SELECT orders_table.order_id, Sum(CCur(products_table!unit_price*order_detail_ta ble!Prod_reqd_qty*(1-[order_detail_table.prod.discount])/100)*100) AS Subtotal
FROM products_table INNER JOIN (orders_table INNER JOIN order_detail_table ON orders_table.order_id = order_detail_table.order_id) ON products_table.product_id = order_detail_table.product_id
GROUP BY orders_table.order_id;
Any ideas why I get this error and how to correct it?
Thx,
Kev.
Invalid Use Of Null
Dec 15, 2005I have an unbound form with unbound controls that I am using for data-entry.
One of the controls, bEntry, is a checkbox. I have tried setting the default value to both false and to 0. Somehow, it doesn't take and so remains Null.
I have the following code running as part of the save routine. It gives me an "invalid use of null" whenever it reaches the highlighted text
Code:Dim Entry_B As ByteDim EntryCheckbox As BooleanEntryCheckbox = Me.bEntry.ValueIf EntryCheckbox = True ThenEntry_B = "1"ElseEntry_B = "0"End If
I have also tried changing it to say
If Me.bEntry.Value < 1 Then
etc.
but that hasn't worked either.
Any ideas?

Invalid Path Name
Apr 25, 2006I have very very basic skills in Access and have been attempting to work with a database that a previous employee from my office designed. The other day another person in my office moved the folder on our office network that contains the link to open the database and today when I entered our database and tried to click on one of the forms to enter data it is telling me that the path name for that form cannot be found. How do I edit the path name for a form?
Thanks,

Two Gig Limit - Invalid Argument On EVERYTHING
May 15, 2006I've apparently hit the two gig limit in access. The database won't let me compact/repair. it wont let me save changes to tables. I can't open access by itself and repair the external table. I'm sure that the database could be shrunk down if I could get it to do the repair! I get an "Invalid Argument" error on everything I try to do.
Anyone experience this? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
