We are in the process of converting from Lotus Approach to MS Access.
In Approach we could create letters that would add the fields we told it to.
We do not want to have to use the mail merge to Word. Can letters be created in Access?
Dear All:
I have created a from containing names and address. On This form I have a checkbox called "MailLetter" and a command button called "Sendletter".
I place a check in the box corresponding to specific people, then using a command button a letter is printed to ONLY THOSE WHO ARE CHECKED.
The letter is a Word document that resides on the desktop.
Here is the code behind a command button to print. Not sure if it is correct:
Private Sub Command2600_Click()
Dim WordObj
Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordObj.Visible = True
WordObj.documents.Open "C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktopLetter.doc"
End Sub
I assume this can be done through some sort of mail merge?
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Dion
When enforcing referential integrity, does access get angry about capital letters?Or just in general, if an address gets put in with a capital letter in one instance and then without in another does it make a difference?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if Access is the right program to use for this scenario as I only know the basics on creating the database.
I want to be able to create a client database and then be able to generate a number of standard template letters at any particular time for selected clients.
I don't want a mail merge!!
Can access be used for this?
Ideally I would like to create a form for administrators to use to input new client info and update existing clients info and then just be able to click a button (or the like) to generate the standardized letter for a particular scenario.
Hi
I am just wondering if there is any way that you can use access to input information into a letter
i.e. you could just click a command button and it would print a standard leter with the details from an address on access e.g. name etc
Thanks

How would I about filtering out all results that contain a letter in them? The entries are in a field called Code, and I only want to display the resources that don't have a letter in the code.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I have one question with regards to the WHERE part of an SQL query. I want to limit my query on datasets, where the first three letters of a certain field (which contains strings) equal "Exp". Is there a more efficient way than the following?
SELECT A.Date, A.Name
From tblA as A
WHERE A.Name="Exp_A" OR A.Name="Exp_B" OR A.Name="Exp_C";
Best regards,

hello
I have a access DB with several names in a table. I need to get only the first letter of each name, but only one for each A, B, C, etc. For example, if I have 3 names starting with a A and 5 starting with the C, it will give me only 2 records, one with the letter A and other with the letter C. I'm using ASP with access database.
tks for the help.

I have a big table with sales data downloaded from DB2.
We have branches codes of 1 digit only.
Because of too many branches we have branch codes in upercase and lowercase. So Q ans q are different branches.
I'd like to substitute all lowercase codes like q with something like q_ to make them searchable.
How I can substitute all lowercase letters in one column of the large table in one shot?
Or may be you know any solution how to make Access queries sensitive to the case.
Hi I'm new round here, and just wondering if anyone could shed some light on a few issues which I am trying to resolve in Access 2000.
Is it possible to make each word start with a capital letter even if the user inputs all the text in lower case,
for example:
user inputs: john smith
Desired display: John Smith
Any help much appreciated

Hi!
I am a new member of this forum and new to access.
I need to make a data base and I would to have my primary Key as an autonumber. I would like to use ID numbers that have already been assigned but they have letters in the beginning, they are GKAD0001 etc. so at the moment I just have them as text that wont allow duplicates, but really I would like them as and autonumber so when new data is added it automatically assigns the next number.
Is this possible?
Thankyou very much for your help.

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is possible ...
I have a table which has contact details in it... two fields are FirstName and Surname. I want to create a new field called initials which takes the first letter from each of the former two fields. Is it possible to do this using an update query?
Or any other way maybe?
I've been stumped on this and could use some help...
Fields in my table contains some words that are in uppercase and some in lowercase. I would like to delete all the lowercase letters and keep only the uppercase ones.
For example, if a field contains the following text:
CHLOROSULFONIC ACID with or without sulfur trioxide
I would like to change this to:
CHLOROSULFONIC ACID
Can this be done via an automated process?
Thanks!

all in one row.
Hello, I am a new member...thanks for any help anyone can provide.
I have a table with a column in which the fields will come in with various lengths and combinations of characters. I need to look up certain values from this field, and assign a value to another field based on that. For example if field1 begins with an "H*", then field2 will equal "INS".
My problem is that I need to write a statement saying something like if field1 starts with "H" and is followed by only numbers for any length, then assign field2 "blank"
so I cant use "H*" because that includes letters...and Ive tried criteria like "H[!a-z]*" but cant get anything to work(i know the last example only looks at the space after H) Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi all,
I am new to this game, so please bear with me...
I am creating a form in my database and would like to know if there is a way I can default each starting letter of my surname and address fields with a capital (but leave the rest in lower case)?
I feel that it looks more professional.
Many thanks for any help.

In the attachment. I want to show the letters and not the numbers that is stated in step 4. How will I do this....
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn a form I can easily combine and display the content of two text fields in a third text field with the formula =[field1] & [field2]. Very well. Now I would like to combine and display only the first letter of each of the two text fields. This I would expect to go somewhat like this =(letter,1,1[field1]) & (letter,1,1[field2]). How is the correct formula?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to create a query that will pull duplicate names out of my db.
I would like it to pull all names that have:
duplicate LastName and duplicates of the first 3 letters of the FirstName.
For example, if I had the names:
Bland, Abe

Brown, Bill
Buster, Jon
Buster, Jonathon
I would like my query to return only Buster, Jon and Buster, Jonathon.
I have a column containing an id that consists of the first two letters of a weekday followed by an incrementing number. For example, for Monday, I have "MoA1" "MoA2" "MoA3" ... "MoA11".
The problem is that when I sort my list, it is ordering it: "MoA1" "MoA10" "MoA11" "MoA2" "MoA3" etc. Currently, my order by property is set to
MID(TABLENAME.SORTFIELDNAME, 3, LEN(TABLENAME.SORTFIELDNAME))
