Modules & VBA :: Using Mid In A String
May 1, 2014
I'm trying to get a value from a spreadsheet to import into my MS Access database. Currently I am trimming the spaces/carriage returns from it but need to strip some more data from the value.
Here is my code.
trimmed_department = Trim(Replace(new_department, vbCrLf, ""))
Example value being "123 Point 5 Finance and Accounting"
I want to use Mid (I think?) to remove the "123 Point 5" (it is always the same with no exceptions) but don't know how to use it as I don't know how to use multiple parameters within a string.

I want to add a string as year to a date.
Somehow it doesn't work out. It should extract all records with Valid_from = 01.01.2013 and valid_to = 31.12.2013. The Year assignment works.
Code:
Public Sub BEN()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim t As Date, s As Date
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Year = Right(pricedate, 4)
t = 1 / 1 / " & Year & "
s = 12 / 31 / " & Year & "
strSQL = "SELECT TRANSFER_PRICES.* INTO [TEMP] " & _
" FROM TRANSFER_PRICES " & _
" Where [Valid_from] = " & Format(t, "#mm/dd/yyyy#") & _
" AND [Valid_to] = " & Format(s, "#mm/dd/yyyy#")
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub

I have set calendar control 12.0 up and everything works how I want it to (click date and peoples names in a table to the left to show scheduled meetings on that day). What I want is to add a string on top of the calendar. For example, this monday I would like for it to say "Memorial Day" on the physical calendar itself.

I have made a system for managing service calls and fieldworks.Part of this is checking the boards we install/service are working correctly.When the engineer calls in, we check the board - enter serial number, via ODBC talks to main server DB and pulls back what is listed below, along with ID and date/time which is all displayed in a list box.
9853911264,W-AMR,3,2:320:0:52,MAIN STORE,3.57,0,18,001.004.041,0,0*75
This works fine. In the string above are certain bits of information that need to be checked to ensure they are accurate and the board has been programmed correctly. What I want to do it, is when the user single clicks on the list box, it parses out the various sections of the above string and enters them into some text fields on the form. With some code these can then be checked to see if they are correct or not and alert the user if they are or not.
The checking part I can do, the part I am struggling with is parsing out the correct parts from the string.The parts will be the same parts required each time, and the string parts wont vary, just not sure how to go about it.

I am trying to set up some template emails using text someone has entered in a form with a variable indicated with a key word in brackets aka. [ChangeID] or [ChangeDate]. The field on the form is formatted as Rich Text so I am getting http code. (No problems yet) In the form the template is required, I lookup the template required and I get the string. I replace the brackets with the following
Code:
strleftB = Chr(34) & " & me."
strRightB = " & " & Chr(34)
strTemplate = Replace(strTemplate, "[", strleftB)
I then get a string but in need to convert part of the string into variables, before I capture the correct output for my email
Code:
"<div>RFC Submission: <strong>" & me.ChangeID & ", </strong> " & me.Details & "</div>"
My question is: what is the best way to split the string into strings and variables

There are so many threads on here for emailing a PDF version of a report. I've put together a nearly complete bit of VBA that will do what I want - except for one thing.
Basically I have a personnel table with an email field. I Also have a field that details if a person is available or not ("Home" means they are available)
I need to create a string that is comprised of all the email addresses of the personnel who are "Home". In another thread I read that this can be done using a SQL statement.
So this is the VBA that I have so far - I commented the SQL for now because I don't quite know how to use it here.
Also, I have created the string, called "emailsList"
Code:
Private Sub Email_Button_Click()
'SELECT Personnel_Table.Email FROM Personnel_Table WHERE (((Personnel_Table.Status)="Home"));
Dim emailsList As String
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "AWACT_Report", acFormatPDF, emailsList, , , "Training Update", "Attached is the newest Training Report.", True
End Sub
Do I need to do a loop that concatenates?

I have spent the better half of the afternoon researching how to accomplish controlling a bold font in a string I am building and sending to Excel.
Code:
' set text for safety hazards and controls
Concretetxt = "Concrete Demolition & vbCrLf & Hazards - dust, flying debris and skin Irritation. & vbCrLf & Control - Respirator, goggles, gloves, inspect equipment prior to use."
Excavationtxt = "Excavations & vbCrLf & Hazards - Damage to underground wires, collapse, falling materials/equipment. & vbCrLf & Control - Ensure utilities have been marked and hand dig when in close proximity, shore properly, Keep clear when lowering materials."
This is a sample of how the strings will build. I will select a task like Concrete Demolition and string it together with other tasks I would like "Concrete Demolition" in bold with the blurb following it then the next task would follow with a bold heading.
My thought is now that it may be easier to control by putting this data into a table instead of building the strings.

I have a query that returns the string to use but I am not sure how I can actually use the returned value to do what I want.
e.g.
my table:
Partner ID Backup Field
5023949 UPC
501354 GTIN
my query will return 1 [backup field] value from the table above, and I then want to use that value to get another value that was previously declared in my code.
eg
GTIN = "ABC123"
UPC = "123ABC"
if my query returns the value "GTIN" then need to use the value of GTIN (ABC123) in my next part of the code.
msgbox GTIN would result in a message box ABC123
But I am not sure how to get the result value. I can say msgbox [backup field] but that returns "GTIN" not "ABC123"

I am trying to set the following variable that will be used to create a PDF file in an already existing folder and name the file WorkorderIDddmmyyyy-hhnnss.pdf
The following variable setting creates the filenameddmmyyyy-hhnnssWorkorderID.pdf.
mFilename = "C:RPR AccessPDF Reports Emailed" & Format(Now(), "ddmmyyyy-hhnnss") & WorkorderID & ".pdf"
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, mReportName, acFormatPDF, mFilename, True
I just can't figure out how to construct it correctly.
Also, is there a way to dynamically create a folder if the folder doesn't already exist? I currently hard code the folder name but would really like to create the folder name based upon some other variable.

I have a command button on a continuous form(form 1) and I need this button to open another form(form 2) when I press on it. So far so good.
When I press the button, I need some VBA to open the form(form 2) , search for a particular table name based on the open form(form 1) current record and use that table name as the newly opened form (form 2) data source. I have ways to do most of those task but for one thing:
How do I make access search for a table name containing a particular string? Here's what I am working with:
Code:
Private Sub Commande26_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Commande26_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Dim stDataSource As String
[Code] ....

I have a form which has a text box with date and a text box with a time. DD/MM/YYYY AND HH:NN:SS
In vba I have declared A as a date and done the following
A=Format([Textbox1] & " " & [Textbox2],"dd/mm/yyyy hh:nn:ss AM/PM")
msgbox (A)
msgbox shows everything but the AM/PM
Now I need need to pass this date to excel to do a vlookup which works if I do the following
A=#03/05/2013 11:26:00 AM#
but it wont work if I grab the date and time from the access form, I think it is because the AM/PM is missing.

I have a series of IDs in an 'articles' table stored as text, e.g.
hb-123456789-e-068
hb-123456789-e-0069
hb-123456789-e-70
hb-123456789-e-00027
and I'm trying to pull the max value of the number after the -e- for a given set of them. In this example, I'd want to return the number 70. I'm then going to use that to create the next ID and populate another field.
The IDs are not used as the primary key. And while the previous IDs used leading zeros inconsistently, new IDs will not have leading zeros.
Here's what I have so far, but it doesn't seem to pull the number after the -e- at all. I think this section here is the problem, even though the same logic works in a query:
Code:
selectedERef = Val(Right(rs![masterArticleID], Len(rs![masterArticleID]) - InStrRev(rs![masterArticleID], " - ")))
Code:
Public Function MaxArticleERef(hbID As Long) As Variant
On Error GoTo err_handler
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSql As String
Dim maxERef As Variant
[code]....

I have:
Code: Kill "Z:Client_Reports" & [websiteID] & "" & LEFT([Forms]![frm x main]![month name], 3) & "*"
This has been working fine - all the files that meet that criteria are deleted, but now I need the option to exclude a particular file from those to be deleted: the particular file would be identified by having some specific text in its filename. So for example I need to be able to delete all files meeting the criteria EXCEPT any files that have the string "summary" as part of the filename.

I have a column containing records of the timestamp of an event. I need to extract the date out of each of these records and put them in a separate table. The date and time of each record is contained within a bracket.
E.g.
ES~1~1412179200(Oct 02 00:00:00 2014)~1~ITM_W64MQMONITORLOG00~
0~0~ES~1~1412179203(Oct 02 00:00:03 2014)~1~ITM_Log_Entries~
0~0~ES~1~1412179204(Oct 02 00:00:04 2014)~1~ITM_Log_Entries~
As you can see, the number of characters of each record are different, so I am unable to do the Left$ count thingy.
Is there any other way to do it? I only need the date and time contained in the brackets.

I have a form used to gather data around some supplier details, and we have a review check box with Boolean data. I'm trying to establish a filter button to filter un-checked boxes by specific suppliers from a drop-down list.
Although I've been able to run filters on suppliers and the review checks separately, together I get a "Type Mismatch" error. I thought it might be because of the Boolean data type, so I tried converting that to String but get the same issue.
So far what I've created is this:
Code:
Dim Chk1 As String
Chk1 = CStr([RevChk])
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , (" Chk1 = " & Chr(34) & 0 & Chr(34) & "") And (" [Supplier Name] = " & Chr(34) & txtSupplSearch & Chr(34) & "")

I am currently trying to create an update query (building a SQL String in VBA for a command button click event) to update a variable's value into a table.
Basically, there are 2 tables, displayed in 2 sub froms within the same main form. (OldTable and NewTable for arguments sake)
The basic method I want to implement is that a user highlights a record in the subform of "NewTable". (This value is stored as a variable "NewJPNUM" This value is then to be inserted into the highlighted row (or rows) of table OldTable on command button click.
So the basic idea is a user highlights a row in one table and this value is stored as a variable "NewJPNUM" . The user then highlights a row or rows in "OldTable" and the value from variable "NewJPNUM" is then written to field "NewJPNUM" in "NewTable" on command button click.
I am not experienced with Access but have decent experience in Excel / VBA so not really sure of best practice methods etc.

I'm trying to check a directory for a folder name which has a certain string in it (RecNum)
However the fso object filesys.FolderExists does not take an argument when looking for part of a folder name on a particular path.
What I basically want to do is look in a directory for a folder with the RecNum variable as part of the folder name. if it exists open it, if not create it.
This is how far i've got:-
targetdir = targetpath & RecNum & ChannelPartner & Enduser
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FolderExists(targetdir) Then GoTo function_end
MkDir targetdir
If filesys.FolderExists(copypath) Then
filesys.CopyFolder copypath, targetdir
End If
MsgBox ("folder created")
function_end:
Shell "Explorer.exe /n,/e," & targetdir, vbNormalFocus
