Modules & VBA :: Remove Spaces From Middle Of A Field

Jun 9, 2015

I'm trying to improve the dialer that i place on microsoft access forms. basically there's a command button that dials the number that is in a text box, but we have a new job that's just come in that requires numbers to be copied and pasted into the text box. these numbers have a space between the dialing code and the telephone number and i need to make the dialer check for a space and remove it before dialing.

Here's the code for the dialing buttons:-

Private Sub cmd_Dial_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmd_dial_Click
CT.MakeCall "8" & txt_telephone.Value & "#", "", False, "", "", False

[code]...

Need To Remove Spaces From Field In Table

Sep 28, 2006

I have a table that for some reason when I imported the data, placed some spaces before about 75% of the numbers in only one column. I need these numbers to be exactly the same as in another table because I use this number to compare to records and import other data depending on the corresponding numbers.

I tried doing a find and replace, but for some reason it doesn't find the spaces to replace. If I type in the space and the number, then in the replace with type only the number, it works. But I cannot do that since there are literally 10's of thousands of different numbers.

Someone mentioned a "LTRIM" command. Does this work within Access and if so, how does it work?

Thanks,
David

Update Query To Remove Spaces

Jan 25, 2008

Hi,

I'm trying to run an update query on a field called "DisplayURL" to remove all of the spaces that the field contains. Some have 1 space, some 5 and some have no spaces.

I'm using Access 2000 and the replace function ( Replace("DisplayURL"," ","") or Replace([DisplayURL]," ",""). However it produces an error stating that there is an "Undefined function "Replace" in expression".

I've searched online and found that Access 2000 doesn't have this function, but its easy to create a "wrapper" to make it work.

I've tried various examples online with no luck. Does anyone know what "module" I'd have to create to get this working, and how to "call" the function as I do not understand how to do this?

Thanks in advance for your help, I've been having a nightmare with this problem.

Thanks again.

Dean

General :: Code To Remove Spaces From Table Names

Jan 27, 2015

We use a Database which has been constantly developed over 10 years using earlier versions of Access2003.We have Upgraded to Access 2013 and we are experiencing many conversion issues which I need to resolve.One key problem is that many of the earlier tables were developed with spaces in their names (Hindsight is a wonderful thing?). There are over 200 Tables that need changing. I would like to update the Table names replacing every "space" with an underscore"_". AT the same time I would also need to Update all of the QUERIES that use these particular Tables to be updated to reflect these changes made and still work as normal. I can do this manually but it will be very time consuming and perhaps someone has already had to do this when recently upgrading to Access 2013?

Tables :: How To Convert Middle Names To Middle Initials

Dec 13, 2012

I have names which are in the following format

smith, john adam
smith jr, john adam
smith, john a
smith, john

How can I make all middle names middle initial IE

smith, john a.
smith jr, john a.
smith, john a.
smith, john

I would imagine I need to use instrrev and insert "*." after the last space. Would that work?

Use Auto Complete Feature When Typing Word In Middle Of Field

Feb 26, 2014

I'm working with a DB to enter orders for picking. I have an item list that I'm linking to when entering orders, and bringing in the data from the item list such as item location etc.

It's setup right now that when I type the first couple of letters into the item field it automatically brings up the matching items and if I click enter it completes the item and brings in the other fields from the item list.

Example: If I type in 'tom' I get back 'tomato', 'tomato sauce' etc. and when I choose the right one and hit enter it fills up the rest of the required info such as item location.

What I would like it to do is have the auto complete also check for middle words.

Example: when I type 'alm' it returns 'almonds', 'almond milk', but don't return 'container almonds' or 'container roasted almonds' etc.

Delete Spaces In Text Field

Jun 28, 2006

We have a table with approx 2m records. Just three fields:
Key (primary)
Postcode
Postcode reference

The problem is with the postcodes. Many of these have a double space in them such as this DE13 7EL but we need DE13 7EL.

Find and Replace runs into a problem because of the number of records.

An update query seems obvious but we can't figure out what to put in Update to as this appears to return the literal value.
We are not VBA programmers so that isn't really an option for us.
How can we strip out that extra space?

Reformatting A Text Field With Spaces

Dec 7, 2006

Hi

I have a table with postcodes (1.6M rows) that have had all the spaces removed. I want to match another table to it and ordinarily would have removed the spaces from the postcodes in that but I think because of the vol (2.5M rows) Access is reluctant (it either crashes or only updates a few thousand).
A better way would be to reformat the postcode using some SQL or VBA code. The trouble is the postcodes are different numbers of characters and the space would either need to be after the 3rd when there are 6 characters or after the 4th when there are 7 characters.
eg PO121DL becomes PO12 1DL
PO91UL becomes PO9 1UL

I can concatenate fields and count characters but am unsure as to the best way to approach this in terms of coding and structure? Using Access 2002.

Any thoughts/tips etc would be appreciated thanks

Field Names With Spaces And Linked Tables

Apr 16, 2007

Hi all,

I have an Access DB with hundres of queries and reports, now I have to use an external DB (Oracle) and export data keeping the rest, no problem with that, I have added linked tables through odbc and works fine.

My problem is that some of the tables have field names with spaces, and Oracle doesn't admit them. Does anybody knows how to solve it without having to modify all the queries, etc?, I've been thinking about aliases or views over the linked table but I haven't found a way to create these.

Any help?

Thanks

Blank Spaces After Data In Field Is Causing Problems

Aug 30, 2006

Hi Folks,

I am creating an IF CASE statement in SQL that basically takes the 2 last characters in a field and if they happen to be 'HX' then a special rate is used to calculate the cost whereas if their is no 'HX' as the last 2 characters of the field then a different rate is applied.

(Right([BOARD SPEC DATA],2)) has always worked flawlessly in SQL to render similar solutions. However, unfortunetly the weekly extract that comes into us permits for massive amounts of blank but real spaces after the data in [BOARD SPEC DATA] field so what ends up happening is that (Right([BOARD SPEC DATA],2)) yields a (SPACE SPACE) value even thou many of these values should be 'HX' as they are the last 2 real non-space values at the end of the field.

If there any easy way to fix this keeping in mind that this is how we get the extract everyweek so a search/replace on spaces won't work ... is there any way I can use a Right command but ignore spaces so that it simply renders the 2 real characters at the end of the field as oppossed to blank spaces?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,


Joe

First, Middle And Last Name

Feb 13, 2008

I have a list if names, some with a middle initial and some without, that are all in one field. eg George P Wingrove or Ada Wingrove. Can I run a query that will seperate the name into two or three fields? I have tried the following in a query, but not being very successful. FirstName:Left([Name],InStr(1,[Name]," ")-1), MiddleInitialTrim(Mid([Name],InStr(1,[Name]," ")+1,InStr(InStr (1, [Name], " ")+1,[Name]," ")-InStr(1,[Name]," "))) and LastName:IIf(InStr(InStr([Name]," ")+1,[Names]," ") <>0, Right([name],Len([name])-InStr(InStr([Name]," ")+1,[Name]," ")),Right([Name],Len([Name])-InStr([Name]," ")))
Unfortunately, it puts #Error if there is no middle initial. Any way round this problem?

Forms :: How To Remove Field From Field List

Nov 11, 2014

I had two fields in my table which I previously used in the form. I deleted the fields from the form itself but the fields are still listed under Field List and not even under any table...

Delete buttons doesn't work on it, and neither does backspace?

How do I remove it? Right click only gives me two options:

"Add Field to View" or "Edit Record Source" which returns an error saying this command cannot be used.

Modules & VBA :: How To Remove ADO RecordSet From ListBox

Aug 6, 2013

How does one go about removing a recordset from a ListBox?

I have a list box that I want to toggle between using a query and an ADO RecordSet to populate the values.

Once I set the listbox .RecordSet property to the ADO.Recordset, I can't remove the values displayed in the listbox when I assign a query to the .RowSource property.

I suppose I can turn the .RowSource query to an ADO Query but I am being lazy and don't want to rewrite the query as a T-SQL query.

I previously thought the list box was pulling data from the .RowSource query but I realize I was wrong.
