Modules & VBA :: Invalid Character In Import String
Jun 16, 2015
I 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)))
I've got a string variable with a value that could be typically
"ABCD|123|R"
The string needs to be split into its three parts, the pipe symbol being the separator. Then the middle numeric string must be converted back to a long.
I know i could do a loop which identifies each character in turn, but my question is:
Is there a VBA function that can pick out the position in the string of the "|" characters, so i dont need a loop ?
Anyone know a good invalid character check script? I have two fields, userid and password, that I want to check for invalid scripts. Can't quited figure out how to script it.
I'm having trouble converting text to proper text in Access 2010 using Windows 8.1 as OS.
The message I keep getting is:
The expression you entered contains invalid syntax. You omitted an operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or comma, or you entered text without surrounding it in quotation marks.
Can anyone amend this statement because presently I am getting an eror 'The expression you entered has an invlid string 'WHERE Month([PaymentDate])>07 And <11'
How to get the last character of the string in query?
I have a table name PlateNo and I want to get the last character for registration purposes.
Ex. ZMD-123 - I want to get the number three(3) and if its possible every time the user types the last digit in criteria it will show all plate number ending in the entered number.
I have a weight field that I've been populating with the weight and the unit of measure. I want to seperate those into 2 different fields. I've created a new field called UnitofMeasure and now I need to go back and remove all the instances of 'oz' and 'lbs' from the first field.
I am currently a SQL DBA, and have been roped in to help a fellow staff member import some XML data into an access database. I am using Office 2003, and the Get External Data command. It successfully imports all of the data, but my colleague says that it is not acceptible because the data is being converted to UTF-8 encoding. He would like it to retain the same original encoding as the XML file. Is there any way I can do this?
I have a string where alphabetical and numerical characters are mixed up. I need a string function where I can find the index of the first non-numerical character. I tried with the mid function but could not get it to work.
Hello all. I've tried searching the forums as well Google for an answer for my problem, but perhaps I'm not searching on the correct key words. Would someone please point me to a post that addresses the below issue. My company has a customer service (CS) application where our CS agents document CS requests. For reporting purposes, they drop a text file containing open service requests that I then import in Access 2003 so I can analyze the data. I've had the vendor use È (ALT+0200) as the delimiter and double-quotes to enclose text. This has been working well until the application vendor upgraded the app last week. Now, whenever a user hits the [Enter] key to create a new line in the comments section of the application, a new line is created during the import process into Access. When I view the text file I can see the Enter Character because it is displayed as (except it looks more like a rectangle standing in its short side.) I thought if creating a macro to run on the text file to delete the enter characters, but I can't find a way to systemically find the character. So far, the only solution on my end is to manually delete the characters, but that's unrealistic because there are thousands of records. Thank you in advance for pointing me to a helpful post or commenting here. Stephen
Hi, sorry about the unwieldy title: I appear to have reached a limit while adding fields to a fixed width text table which is imported to Access on a monthly basis using Import Conditions to define the field start points and lengths. Using the Import Conditions wizard, I cannot add any break points beyond the 495th character. Is this a known limit, or has anyone found a way around? I've tried both Access '97 and 2002. Any advice greatly appreciated.
I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True Else Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False End If
I have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).
The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command
gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.
Here's the code:
Sub ImportActivitate() Dim strFile As String 'Filename's Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String DoCmd.SetWarnings False
[code]....
Also, how can I make the routine stop cycling through the files after I renamed them all?
I will try and keep this brief. I have a paragraph of text, I have to paste it into a system which allows me 75 characters in a line and 208 in a page.
I have code which creates text boxes dynamically based on the total amount of characters/208 - this gives me how many textboxes need creating. I also have code which then populates those textboxes 208 characters at a time. I now need to alter it so it puts a line break every 75 characters.
Code: Private Sub btnsubmit_Click() DoCmd.OpenForm "NoteForm", acDesign Dim x As Integer Dim ctrl As Control Dim y As Integer
[Code] ....
So I've achieved almost what I want, I just need to amend it so it starts a new line after every 75 characters...
Private Sub Form_Current() Dim strTime As String Dim strHour As String Dim strMinute As String If (CollectionTime.Value) = "" Then MsgBox CollectionTime
I have been using this export function for the longest time and today it is giving me an error:Object invalid or no longer set.
Code: On Error GoTo Err_cmdTest_Click 'Must 1st set a Reference to the Microsoft Office XX.X Object Library Dim dlgOpen As FileDialog Dim strExportPath As String Const conOBJECT_TO_EXPORT As String = "EXPORT"
Access 2013...Code that has been working is suddenly causing the error "Object invalid or no longer set". Line causing the error is marked.
Code: Private Sub CreateTable() Dim dbsDb As dao.Database Dim tblTemp As dao.TableDef Dim fldTemp As dao.Field Dim rst As dao.Recordset Dim rstRsF As dao.Recordset
L=Letter , X=number. Examples consisting of three parts (it can be more than three).
1. LLLLXXXXXX_LLLLXXXXXX_LLLLXXXXXX OR 2. LLLLXXXXXX LLLLXXXXXX LLLLXXXXXX OR 3. LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX OR 4. LLLL_LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX OR 5. LL LLLLXXXXXX&LLLLXXXXXX
I would like to develop a function that takes a string that is made up of three parts or more and each part is separated by an underscore "_", space, or "&". There is no character that takes precedence over the other. It will always be only a single character which seperates the parts.
The check will always be done from the left. It should carry out the following actions:
1. Display all characters from the left until it reaches the first seperator "_" underscore OR "space" or "&" 2. Check only Part1 if it is made up of 4 letters and the rest 6 numbers (see 1-3 above). If that is the case only return part 1. 3. If part one only has letters and no numbers (see above 4-5) return all parts. Part one can consist of two letters or more.
I have started the function for step 1 above that searches for the character "_" underscore and display all characters until the first "_" is reached. I would like to include the same for "Space" or "&" in this function.
Once that is done I would like to do step 2 and step 3.
Code: Function SearchforChar(strTest As String) As String Dim test2 As String Dim strUntil As String strUntil = "_" test2 = Left(strTest, InStr(1, strTest, strUntil) - 1)
[Code] ....
Answer3: Full name with all parts should be returned for all above four cases under situation 3.
In attached file i am updating the YU field in YABANCI_UYRUKLULAR table where CALISMA_IZIN_NO fields is matching from YU table. But there is a problem after update i see one of the record's YU field is 10 character, it must be 11 character as in the YU table.
The basic idea is that I need to insert a record into a table and then return the Key field so that I can use it to populate another table. This was working just fine for a while, then it stopped and naturally I can't think of anything I did to make it not work. I get an Invalid Use of Null error at the bolded step.
Dim SQL As String Dim SpecID As Long Dim VerifySpec As Variant ' Check for empty strings If Len(Me.txtNewPartNumber & vbNullString) = 0 Then Response = MsgBox("Part Number cannot be blank.", vbExclamation, "Missing Data") Exit Sub End If
I use access occasionally . How to find out why the Invalid Qualifier error keeps occuring. This is the code, and I've highlighted the line where it says its invalid qualifier:
