Modules & VBA :: Strip Out Punctuation Marks From A Field
Jun 26, 2015
How can i strip out punctuation marks from a field that i am calling in a writeline command? There is a comma in the name (vendor name) and it throws off my import into my accounting program.
I have a form set up where user's type in an explanation of how a claim is being appealed and resolved in a memo field.
One problem, for some reason management doesn't want these explanations to end with a period. But the users keep ignoring our request and keep using the period.
Is there a way that you can code this memo field to where it will allow punctuation throughout, except at the end?

In the highlighted line of code attached I am comparing two strings one from a snapshot recordset and one from an array.
The logic fails, you can see in the watches window both values equal "DESIGN and the elseif statement should execute but it does not.
The only reason I can see for this is that the values are equal to "DESIGN and not DESIGN. Where this single quotation mark comes from I do not know. It is not visible in the tables and it does not appear when the values are printed into excel.
Hello I am trying to design a CD label 'report', it's going well except that the title field of our productions has to print with quotation marks around it'. The name of the field is, yes you guessed it, TITLE. I know it must be a simple solution but I'm at a loss to find it or understand it. I'm just a dumbo. Thanks for your time and expertise.
I created a query in Query Builder which contains a DCount with multiple parameters and it runs as it should. I am trying to convert it to VBA, but my inability to put in the quotations marks correctly is frustrating me terribly.
Here is the SQL version from Query Builder:
UPDATE [Daily Status Update Table] SET [Daily Status Update Table].NumberOfChases = DCount("[ChaseOtherID5]","[Chases_View_ALL - TX_Mbr 9 Digit]","[ChaseOtherID5] = 'U - Initial Contact' AND [ChaseStatus] = 'A'"), [Daily Status Update Table].ChaseStatus = "A", [Daily Status Update Table].NewStatus = "A", [Daily Status Update Table].ChaseAssignment2 = "Unscheduled" WHERE ((([Daily Status Update Table].ChaseOtherID5)="U - Initial Contact"));
I found this code on a website that uses a form to search all tables in my database. Problem is that when I click "search" I get an invalid argument error. I am guessing that there is a problem with my SQL string. Missing space? Missing quotation marks? etc etc.... Anyway, here is the code:
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef Dim fld As DAO.Field Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSearch As String Dim strTableName As String
The calculated field converts all percentage marks perfectly fine with grades except 100 which returns to a stupid "E" . I've been trying all sorts and now give up.
I have a table in Access 2010 containing the results of a survey. One of the fields in table is the actual quotes from customers who gave direct feedback. I have created a simple report containing all of the quotes. My manager would liek them included in a summary Word doc but wants quotation marks around every quote. It's too many to manually after the report is exported to Word. Is there a way to include quotation marks around the field in the report design view?
I need to be able to strip the last 21 characters from the following strings using a command in a query. Any ideas? I know I need to Instr command but not sure how to do it.
I am writing some search results to an excelsheet for reports using the time and date functions to build a filename. I downloaded a StripSpecialCharacters() module, but it doesn't take them all out (only takes ascii above 127).
Does anybody know of another function to do it. searched the archive to no avail.
My users do a fair bit of copy/paste from any number of sources.
How do I force the paste action to strip out any hidden characters? Now I realize that a return and a space are hidden characters, so how do I strip out everything but the ones that I want?
I try to make my second database in Access. I need to summary 5 numbers, and then minus the lowest and the highest of them. For example (1+2+3+4+5)-1-5=9
In excel it looks like this: =SUM(C2:G2)-MAX(C2:G2)-MIN(C2:G2)
In access (Expression builder) i made this code: [J1]+[J2]+[J3]+[J4]+[J5] - it's the summary of five marks, but how can i erase the highest and the lowest one?
This is probably real easy to do, but ........ I have a field in Access that looks like this:
"12:12:01 PM 12/5/2005, 5:00:01 AM 12/6/2005, 7:00:25 AM 12/6/2005"
From this string, all I want is the last Date entry (mm/dd/yyyy). Thus in this result, it would be 12/6/2005. I know how to use the Right(), Left() and Mid() functions, but I do not want quotation marks included in my result.
I have a statement which is driving me nuts...i'm a beginner with using SQL:
Private Sub Command45_Click()
Me.Graph0.RowSource = "SELECT (Format([Date],""" """mmm""" ''yy')) AS Expr1 FROM Chart_Unsafe_Daily GROUP BY (Format([Date],'mmm'' '''yy")), (Year([Date])*12+Month([Date])-1);
End Sub
The statement is RED for an error, i'm sure it is because the quotation marks within the statement are incorrect.
I'm having an issue with foreign language characters (that have accent marks) not being accepted in our database input fields when a user tries to enter them into the textbox. i've enabled foreign languages, checked help menus, used the character map in accessories, and even tried using the alt+# method but to no avail.
since our company works with many foreign countries, many of the firms names have all sorts of crazy accents (à ã ç ö š ǐ ø) and as you can see from that example, one already showed up incorrectly as a box instead of an "i" with the "u" looking accent above it. I've attached a screenshot to this post so you can see what i'm talking about, however in the example it's the "s" with the "u" looking accent that doesn't show in access, as opposed to the "i" replaced by a box in this post.
My question is, is there any way of adjusting our system so as to make sure all accents are allowed? If you also have a list of steps that I can follow, I can try to redo it your way since the ones I've tried have not worked.
Any help would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks in advance!
If anyone wants to test this out to verify its a true bug it would be helpful:
Create a tab control. Place a treeview control (with checkboxes = Yes) on one of the pages. Populate the treeview. Check some boxes. Move to the next page of the tab control. Return to the page with the treeview. Viola! The checkboxes you checked previously are all unchecked. (Not just visually, but property-wise as well).
One step forward, two steps back.
Actually, the work around is to remove the treeview from the tab control and then change the Visible property of the treeview to False if on a different tab page, and True if on the page you want it to display on. But c'mon why can't it work the way you'd expect it to work!
I am using DoCmd.TransferText to import a CSV file to a new table. The problem is some of the fields contain quotation marks which really messes things up for me later on. Is there some way I can go through the whole table and remove them?

I am having a frustrating problem with a report filter I have been using for years. The filter works fine if the data is a number, but I am using it for text this time and it simply will not filter the report because I am unable to have the text display as per below. I need to be able to put a qutotation mark before and after the text so that the report filter will recognise and apply the filter appropriately.
