I have a table and in there is the names of sandwiches, their prices and also extra info which includes whether the sandwich contains nuts etc. The actual text is "MAY CONTAIN NUTS" . When searching through the query i have made, there is the text - Extra info? for the query criteria or question and then i have to type in what i want to search or query for. Is it possible that i can just use the words 'nuts' when i search and then it will bring up sandwiches which contain the text "MAY CONTAIN NUTS" in the extra info field so that when querying it is much faster to find the sandwiches which contain nuts? If you can do this then please help.
Thanks, jon.
I am attempting to split out a descriptive field so that each words which may exist in that particular field will be split out into seperate fields ... for example, if the violation field is populated with a four worded description of 'Assualt on Police Officer' I would like to somehow strip out the words so that 'Assualt' and 'on' and 'Police' and 'Officer' are all in seperate fields. I am not sure if this can be done using a simple query in access ... if anyone can offer any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi. I have a list of 120000 entries, of companies in the UK. I need a query that will grab all the ones which have relevent similar names to others, like a duplicate query, but a bit more specific. For instance, First Choice UK, and First choice PLC are the same company, but have two entries. but I dont want to just scroll it would take ages. Is there a way to get a query to grab anything with matching words to other entries. Not necessarily the first two words, as my subject suggests, because the company name may not be two words, but whether there is any similarity in the name at all.
Hello I have a text box in my database that i would like to be about to search and group the text field if is had similar. for Example if I had a record like" called in puking" and "Up all night puking", I'd like the query to recognize "puking" (without me specifically telling it to look for "puking") and group them.
I am having some difficulty putting togather a small database (attached).
Basically I want to be able to search for mutiple words and get the results
There are 3 main columns in the main table
1) Shop 2) Part Number 3) Part Type
Problem 1:I have created a lookup table (with check boxes) for ComboBoxes in a form but I do not know how to connect it so that when I click on the comobo box it gives me the all different (Shop numbers/part number/Part types) to select from.
Problem 2:Once I have made my selection I want to search and run query to show me the results. I know that once multiple items are selected in a combo box they are separated by commas/space, so the search must take that in account.
Other nice to have 1) If Shop 1 is selected then only the parts which were sold from shop 1 to appear in the Part number Box & visavera & same goes for Part type.
2) Ability to do a wildcard search so if I Enter "A" in part number I can see all the resealts
I have a table (let's call it "tableA) with about 7 fields. One of the fields contains information that I need to do a query on so that I may find specific payees, for example:
The field is called "Payee" and in that field for each record, the information could be "At&T", "A T and T" or "Abercrombie & Fi", but there is also other information in that field along with At&T, etc., so the field for a record may look like this: A T AND T MOBILI A T AND T MOBILI 10 90034 Bill Pay or ABERCROMBIE & FI 3042 PP 10 9111 DIRECT
Is there a way to set up another table (let's call it tableB) to have all the Payees names (such as AT&T or whatever) in it and by the push of a button (maybe macro), have a query go out and find all matches from tableB in tablea?
So, basically have the query look in tableA and find all the matches from TableB. Please understand that tableA could have records that contain the same name, but spelled a number of different ways, for example, AT&T or A T and T or ATandT or ATT. Again these names may or may not be embedded in with other information in a field.
Or is there a way that an Access query can look into an external list and find the records, example:
Have a text (file) list with all the names (separated by a comma or space - AT&T, AT & T, Amercrombie and FI, Abercom&Fitch, etc. Now have a query go to that list and find all records that match in my tableA?
Does anyone have a definitive list of reserved words in Access? I understand certan words are reserved because they cause a problem when using vba. Is this correct?
It would make sense because I used to have a field called "Name" and my controls never worked correctly. I have since changed this and all is ok.
I have searched Access help files and this forum, but am unable to find a complete list other than the odd one like name, date, group etc.
Has anyone seen the message in the attached file? I got this when I was trying to update the row source on the field after I had a problem with data in a report coming up inaccurate. I've been developing in MS Access for about 7 years now and have never seen this. Any explination for this would be greatly appreciated.
I am using MS Access 2000 on a Windows 98SE machine. :eek:
1st time: Company Name: Automobile 2nd time: Company Name: AuID
If I type A, then it will show out the word, but the cursor is till After A, because if we type another character which will change another word 3rd time: Company Name: Automobile
4th time: Company Name: Au[I]ID[I]
What is the keyword to search about it in the forum? Anyway, does anybody know how to solve it? Please let me know, thanks.
I'm trying to pull fields from a table into a form - and have had other problems with this.....
What is textual information in one table. ie. the table I am trying to acces from a drop down will only appear as numbers instead of the text entry in the original - I have triend the bound colums but these are correct?
I've had this problem at a couple of points - it seems to be formatting the forms as numbers and pulling in the record numbers rather than the textual information. The bound colums are pointed at the textual entries but I can not change the formatting in the forms etc to text rather than number... In the drop down it shows the text entries but will not allow them to be saved when updated?
I have a script file of FoxPro 2.6 which is use to read amount field and write it in words. Can any body convert in VBA Script. I manualy write amount in words. Thankyou. Saira
I am creating a database which has an invoice printing form. In that I would like to have a column for the total amount in words. I have got a sample module from northwind database. According to that 100,000 is "one hundred thousand" but in my country that is pronounced as " 1 Lakh" and for one million it is 10 lakh, for 10 million it is 1 crore like that. Is that possible to change the code in that module to display the words according to our standards? I am attaching the code with this thread. If anybody can show how to do that...I will be thankful to them..
Thanks

Hi, if i have to input a entry that have more than 255 words, but my table could only handle 255 words, so how do i go about it... pls advise, thanks...
So I am using 2003. On the report I have created I have this one entry that exists for all my records, it is a Name, and at the bottom of the report I am trying to create a summary that will list each of those names. I already have a count going, so I thought maybe I could tap that, but not every record has a name listed. I am farely inept at coding.
What I want is this: (Institution 1) Accrediting Institution: ACICS (Institution 2) Accrediting Institution: ACCST (The part above is Done, what I need in Below)
I havent used access before and need a easy way to seach through 1300 records i have created in a form. Each record has 6 criteria, some with drop down options. I would like to create a button that when you type into a box and click this button it will search all my records and bring up a list of all the records containing the key words searched for.
We use Access to pull data from data warehouse and this year they upgraded the new system on the back end and moved old data to the new one. Problem is that in some tables having big fields such as Asset Long Description, Work Long Description and when moved to the new database system, somehow there are certain some XML tags such as <br> </br, etc.. added into the description. So when we pull the data onto the table in Access, is there a way to remove those tags out of the descriptions fields? a macro or module?
I ha ve a problem in access. I am a newbie so i can not help myself with all the things i ve read in the access forums.

Imagine: Name.................Dogs Mr. Peter...........Joseph; Blue; Winnie Mr. Alexander......Jack
So the total in the table is 4 dogs. How can i have this number?
