Is there anyway that I can merge two fields together in a report? For example instead of having first name and surname as separate fields I want to put them together so that I don't have a big gap between them. The report is based on a query if that's any help!

Hi,
I want to create an expression in a query, which is a combination of one or more fields in a table. e.g., Concatenate function in excel. Is there any such function in access. Please help me.
Thanks & Regards
Howdy, a newbie here, and new to access, but pretty strong computer skills..
need you're help please....
trying to "merge" fields - i think merge is the right name for it...
here's an example of the data...
100 ___
200 200
300 ___
___ 400
500 500
600 ___
___ 700
where the ___ = empty
I need it to look like this, a single field..
100
200
300
400
500
600
700
the values in the two fields are always the same if the exist in both fields..
thanks in advance!!!
Happy Holidays!
I want to turn this set of fields returned from a query :-
'Stage'-'Engineer'-'BDE'
A-a-e
A-b
B-c-f
C-d
Into this result by merging the fields 'Engineer' and 'BDE' :-
'Stage'-'NewField'
A-a
A-e
A-b
B-c
B-f
C-d
Something like [Engineer]&[BDE] just joins up the text which isn't what I want.
A-ae
A-b
B-cf
C-d
I hope this makes sense.
I have a table and would like to merge all the fields into one text field of the table after the insert. I'm using adp (access/sql server).
When using standard sql the null values give a problem and i don't want to use the if clause as it will give too much coding.....
Hey guys,
I'm in need of some help again. I have two tables, Table1 and Table2. I have one field in each table that I want to have the same data. I don't want blanks to be merged, but I want all the data to be the same
for example
Table1
---------
1
3
5
Table2
---------
1
2
4
6
I would like both tables to be merged to show
Table1
-------
1
2
3
4
5
6
Table2
------
1
2
3
4
5
6
But I want to just update both tables and not create anything new.
Sorry if this is unclear
Hi,
I have an old database for generating service reports which has:
Report No
Date
Customer
Site
In separate fields which is fine
but also
wrk1
wrk2
wrk3
etc.
with a separate field for each printed line on the page
I would like to merge all these into one memo field while retaining the previous data which goes back 15 years (it came from a MSWorks 2.0 DOS db which is the reason for the weird structure I think)
Is there any way to write a macro or code to selectively merge some but not all fields in a table?
I've already copied the db and modified it after clearing all the old data, it works fine but I'd like to have access to the old data in the new format
TIA

Hello folks
I am developing a basic Fault Logging system so I have a main form that allows ref to be input, date fault raised, priority, etc... I also have a sub form running that allows notes to be input. There is no set limit on the number of notes that can be added as this needs to be flexible. A relationship is set up so that the Fault reference will be tagged to each of the notes. What I need is a query (I'm guessing that is the best way to do it) that will gather all of the standard fields fromthe main form and also all of the note fields (it will need to return null values in notes fields). Preferably I would like all of the notes fields to concatenate into one field with a line break between each note. The concatenation process would have to be flexible and dynamic as there is no predetermined limit to the number of notes that will have to be joined together.
I'm relatively new to Access and having searched the forums and tried a few ideas can't find anything that I can adapt to my situation. Any ideas/guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Hello:
I don't program in Access very often. I am using Access 2003, and have a client that wants me to create a Mail Merge application using queries against some access databases. Is this something that can be done in Access?
Also, they have some reports that they would like for me to build. Can I make the reports dynamic by setting up some sort of form where they can choose the specifics they would like in the report, and then having those variables determine what will be shown in the report? How involved would the creation of that be with say 15 - 20 variables to choose from?
(Thank you)
I have a report in my database with a button called "MailMerge".
My aim is that when clicked, this will open a word document, that has already been created, but automatically complete the merge based on the data in a table.
The catches:
1) I need to be able to ask the user the content of the word document from within access, and automatically populate it
2) I need to be able to ask the user who has written the word document and automatically populate it
3) I need to use a document which I have already created, because of various reasons, but obviously the merge fields can be updated.
Currently, I am trying to append the results of the query into a table, TBL_Merge and then use code to both ask the questions above, and then complete the merge.
I think the title describes best what I want to do. I need to send a letter to some lets say receivers, who fulfill certain criteria, and who appear in a data field in an access database. The letter is common for everyone with the difference of course of their address and name. I am sure this is an easy one for the most of you....
Thanx in advance, Kyriakos
p.s. sorry for misspelling some words...
I am currently creating a database for lift inspections. The output is a mail-merge report. What I am trying to do is get the multiple Lift Name (child) and Floors Served (child) combined into a string so that each Lift Group (parent) inspection has only one row. This then means that each lift group inspection will be shown as one record in mail merge.
Current
Lift Group ID - Date of Inspection - Lift Name - Floors Served
34 - 14/01/14 - Lift 1 - G-1
34 - 14/01/14 - Lift 2 - 1-3
35 - 14/01/14 - Lift 3 - G-8
34 - 14/01/13 - Lift 1 - G-1
34 - 10/10/13 - Lift 2 - 1-3
Desired:
Lift Group ID - Date of Inspection - Floors Served
34 - 14/01/14 - Lift 1 G-13; Lift 2 1-3
35 - 14/01/14 - Lift 3 G-8
34 - 10/10/13 - Lift 1 G-13; Lift 2 1-3
I am using mail merge to produce reports for lift inspections and it is all going well apart from the fields that are multi value do not quite transfer. For instance the "inspections completed" field has a list of the months Jan-Dec and therefore a visit may have been completed in Jan, Mar & Jul for example.In word the first two letter of the last month are transferred across followed by Chinese symbols.

The company who we buy names and addresses from sends us a delimited file that has these fields as the headings
" ID, FULLNAME,COMPANY, ADR1, ADR2, CITY, STATE, ZIP, FIPS"
Once they send out the mailings, people then send in back a remit slip with a contribution that gets scanned through a program that creates a file that gives us these titles
"ALT ID, AMOUNT PAID, RUN DATE, TENDER, FUND, PURPOSE, SOLICITATION, MEMBERSHIP QUESTION, MEMBER TYPE, CONSTITUENT TYPE, SEGMENT". The "ALT ID" and "ID" are the same in both tables.
I need to find a way to merge the tables and combine the fields that have the same ID # , and then have it create a csv file that reads like this (see below) for only the files of the people that responded so that I can import it into our membership software.
"Alt ID","Title","First Name","Middle Name","Last Name","Suffix","Address1","City","State","ZIP","ct y_code","Amount Paid","Run Date","Tender","Fund","Purpose","Solicitation","Me mbership Question","Member Type","Constituent Type","Segment"
I do have another problem with my "Membership Monster" After designing the base with only registential Addess information in the data entry Form. I had to include fields for a separate postal address. This only applies to maybe 10 of 400 entries is there a simple clever way I can copy this data over to the new postal detail fields from the Residential detail feilds ? I thought it may be possible to set thee residential fields as source data. But I am unsure if it is then possible to enter different data over the top if the postal address is different.
I also then need to be able to mail merge the postal details of current members so as print out address labels for the magazine.
way to merge various fields from a table into just one using a query.The purpose will be for easier copying and pasting in to an email.So we have a table to stores information such as Site Contact, Address 1, Address 2, Address 3, Postcode etc.
I want to be able to run a query that will put the address in to just one box, either in the query or on a report then it's much easier to just highlight the full address and copy and paste it into an email. Rather than copying each field individually.
I am using mail merge to add info from my database to my word document template. I want to make it the same as my form I have set up which gives me a patient name, dob, GP details as head of main form then a subform (continuous) of their medication. When I try a mail merge it comes up right but only shows one medication on each page. I want it to add all their medications to the body and have the patient info in the heading. Do-able?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two databases (files). Each file has a format like the one below.
File 1:
chr start end
chr1 1000 2000
chr2 3000 4000
File 2:
chr start end
chr1 1500 3000
chr2 3750 4000
I want to be able to merge the two records together if the field chr matches between the two files plus if there is an overlap between the start number and end number from each file. For instance the first record from each file would match because the range from 1000 to 2000 of file 1 has numbers consisting of 500 numbers (1500-2000) that are also present and overlap in file 2 (1500-3000). I possibly cannot use < or > since the ranges from each file will vary to different degrees. Perhaps there is a between function that might work...
I'm working on a Word mail merge feature that links to an Access Database and would like to know if you can insert specific fields into the mail merge to refine the terms? example below:
<<Customer Name, [field 2]>> - Or something to that effect.
^The mail merge would know where to obtain the customer name from anyway, but will it select information from the field that is being referenced?
I have a query that populates a report linked to a mail merge. There is an IFF statement in it that checks to see if a condition is meet. If that condition is meet some standard text results. Is it possible to put a disclaimer with the standard text.For example,
Code:
IIF ([Results]="Negative","Nothing detected" (the disclamer would go here)
I am not certain the correct syntax to use to insert "not all regions were tested".
Does the MS Access Report support Hide/Show specific fields according to parameters or even by click?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am trying to "merge" to textfields in a query.
One field is [domene], the other has the name [VLini].
I need these fields to end up like this: DOMAIN/VLINI
I am trying to make a security check with AUTH_USER from the domain user, but it also requires the domain name. Since there are users from multiple domains I need to merge these two in to one field called username.
I have tried:
username: [domene]"/"[VLini] but this only produces a "-1" answer.
Anyone?
I have an odd thing happening with my reports. There is a main report that gives class information (from query). There are two subreports (from queries also ) with scores (one for each type of test). There are some unbound controls on the main form that display a count of how many scores are recorded which are totals from the subreports. The controls all report the correct numbers however, when I scroll down to view each record, some of them change to #error, or #name, or similar for a moment. Sometimes they will stay in error form when I stop scrolling but change to correct if I scroll up just a bit. Is this because the controls won't calculate unless that report record has focus?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an unbound form with an associated report. When the user hits the 'print' button on the form/screen, the report is launched in the background. In the On Load event of the report I populate the report fields from the forms field as so:
Code:
Me.txtAddrMainLine2 = "NAME " & UCase([Forms]![frm_OrderRx].[txtPatientName])
This works like a charm as long as I call the report in Print Preview mode (i.e. with acViewPreview). But if I send the report directly to the printer, none of the fields print.
I've read about using other report events to populate the fields (e.g., On Format and On Print) and also something about using TempVars to pass the data. But I haven't read anything that's clear and definitive about the full answer.
