I have a button that generates text according to information in different fields. The text has multiple lines and when I select the button to generate the text it puts all the lines together when I need it to do a new paragraph after each line.
Sample:
Me.GeneratedCode = "This is a test for " & Me.ServerName & "." & _
"The server " & Me.TestResults & " the test."
The above shows up in one continues line.
This is a test for shankserver. The server Passed the test.
I what it to look like this
This is a test for shankserver.
The server Passed the test.
I have an Access 2010 database with a memo field formatted for Rich Text.
I created a simple form. It accepts and shows paragraphs, i.e. I press Return and a new paragraph appears (with a blank line in between paragraphs).
I then created a report based on the same fields. In the memo field it shows the text entered in the form, but not the paragraph breaks. It just shows one big block of text without any paragraph breaks. I have looked for a field property in the report design and layout views that might affect how the text is displayed in the report but I cannot find one.
It is not much use if you can input paragraph breaks in a form but not see them in a report.
Error I'm getting 'The expression you entered contains invalid syntax, or you need to enclose your text data in quotes.
Code: If Dcount(Nz([StatFlag]),[Books],[StatFlag]="W") >0 , ((Nz([StatFlag])) ="W" , (((Nz([StatFlag]))<>"R" And (Nz([StatFlag]))<>"M" And (Nz([StatFlag]))<>"H" And (Nz([StatFlag]))<>"P") AND ((Authors.Status)="A"))
On an existing DB i have set a default value for a field. The customer has now asked that they be able to change this default. I thought, hey, no big problem. They have SuperUsers, so i included a little pop up form that lists all the current valid values for that field (from a look up table). If the default value needs to change a superuser can access this and select the new default. That works fine. The trouble comes when setting the default value on a form.
I figured a simple bit of VBA in the OnOpen event - Me.cmbTypes.Value = Me.cmbTypes.DefaultValue - should work. However the value it returns from the default is ""xxxx"" and as such it is read as "". I can work around it by removing the extra " " but WHY does it do this? Would it be better to set this up as a custom property of the DB?
I'm having big problems exporting and converting data in Access. I have a large source of records that I want to manipulate and then export from Access into delimited text files. The problem is, I need to remove some spaces from a memo field. While the trim() function will remove a lot of spaces, it doesn't remove breaks/hard returns/whatever-you-call-it that breaks up the paragraphs.
Here's and example of what it looks like when I export it now:
SECTION: 37 BLOCK: 596 LOT: 5
ALL THAT CERTAIN PLOT,
I want it to look like this:
SECTION: 37 BLOCK: 596 LOT: 5 ALL THAT CERTAIN PLOT,
From a form build a report using standard paragraphs using a combo or list box . Paragraphs may vary in length but must format correctly on the report. NO SPACES MUST BE LEFT BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS. Also the form must allow editing of the standard paragraph. ie where there is perhaps a change of name etc: ALSO is it possible to exceed the 255 characters in a text box ?
I need to make a new table from an existing table. Each field in the output table must have a leading and trailing quote. I tried to surround the quotes with quotes (" " ") Acess says it's invalid.
I have 4 fields that are unbound on a form. img1 img2 img3 img4..When these are entered they are all combined and autofill another unbound textbox = imagename.. what i would like to do is from this unbound textbox 'imagename' ..i would like to populate a textbox that IS bound called FileName
[Event Procedure] Private Sub imagename_Click() Me.imagename = Me.FileName End Sub
I have a nice little app that works very well except that the code is not tolerant of single quotes in the user's data. My problem is that VB uses double quotes for its literals and SQL uses single quotes so where does that leave me?
The user has entered a comment into a data field and I am now adding this to the record on the database. I don't know if the user's data contains a quote. If it doesn't then all is well. If it does then, crash.
Here is a code sample...
Dim SQLStr As String, Ret As Integer SQLStr = " UPDATE MeetingRole " _ & " SET MeetingRole.Comment = '" & [Forms]![Comment]!Text2.Value _ & "' WHERE MeetingRole.DateOfMeeting = '" & [Forms]![MeetingStatus]![List0] _ & "' ;"
However, i just changed the formulaID to TEXT in my table.
So I think i need different quotes somewhere at the criteria end of this qry calc because FormulaID is now TEXT. how do i fix this at the end of the field? thanks
A friend pointed me in the direction of this site, and I sure hope someone can help. I need to build databases that will primarily be used for creating sales quotes. I know my way around, a little bit, but I am having trouble building this database. Would anyone be interested in helping me?
I have a combo box on a form that simply selects a record from a 2-table query. My problem is that the data is Book Titles, which can contain both quotes and apostrophes, sometimes in the same title. other than eliminating these characters from the records, how do I make the simple vba code for the box work for either quotes or apostrophes in a record? The box works fine as long as the record does not contain these characters. (I'm a big vba rookie by the way, and this code was created by the box wizard.) Using Access 2003, Here is the code for the box:
Private Sub cboSelectBook_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control. Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[BookTitle] = '" & Me![cboSelectBook] & "'" If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
I am assigned to create a customer quote database for our company. Now it is in excel and already have 40,000 records and increasing average 25 records everyday. The way they want to send quotes are:
- The number of items in the quote are varied from 1 o 15.
- Each item has six different prices, depends on the order qty and want to mention in different adjusent lines.
- Each item has different delivery time depend on order qty.
- Company's sales Terms and conditions need to be printed at the end of each quote in separate page. (two full pages)
How do I create the table to accommodate all these fields? Is it possible to accommodate all items/sub items in one table under one qutoe id. I have customer table, product table etc ready and little confused to create the Quote table.
Could someone tell me if I need to break this select statement down? I'm running into problems with the DMax statement since it requires double quotes around it's arguments. When the parser hits the first argument, it closes the string like it's supposed to, but not the way I want it to.
In essence, the query returns 4 fields: unique ID, week number, computed score (TotSum), and the computed handicap (which is half the difference between your score and the high scorer):
Quote: strSQL = "SELECT tblRoster.HEDR, tblScores.WeekNo, " & _ "[A1T1]+[A1T2]+[A1T3]+[A2T1]+[A2T2]+[A2T3]+[A3T1]+[A3T2]+[A3T3] AS TotSum, " & _ "Round(((DMax("[TotSum]", "[qryHandicap]") - [TotSum]) / 2) + 0.1) AS Handicap " & _ "FROM tblRoster LEFT JOIN tblScores ON tblRoster.HEDR = tblScores.HEDR " & _ "WHERE (((tblScores.WeekNo) = " & inpWeekNum & ") And (TotSum > 0)) " & _ "ORDER BY TotSum DESC;"
What would the proper syntax be and/or is there a better way to obtain this information. After acquired, it is being salted away in a table which is recomputed after each competition.
Thanks for the input.
-Brian.
p.s. I know storing computed fields is a big no-no, but if you do not compete in a given week, the handicap from the last time you participated is used. This table will store the participants handicap as well as the last competition they were in. It seemed easier this way.
My db contains an unlinked form that is used to append records to 1-3 separate tables (tests to see if master records exists, appends if needed, moves on to child records). One of the fields is a text field meant for notes. The VBA errors out whenever this text contains apostrophes or quotes.
Is there a simple way to recall the string field with quotes and apostrophes intact and append it, or will I have to validate and remove them from the string?
I'm having problems with quotation marks in a sql statement. The string is an array separated by a semicolon.
120/80;70;5'6";125
this string represents patient vitals. I'm using the string to update a record. But I get hung up with the quotation mark.
I've tried: 120/80;70;5''6'"';125 which is a enclosing the quotation mark with apostrophies, but this does not seem to work. The sql still gets hung up. My sql statment looks something like:
original string: 120/80;70;5'6";125
strPreOpVits = "120/80;70;5''6'"';125"
mysql = "UPDATE mytable SET PreOpVits = '" & strPreOpVits & "' " & _ "WHERE nID = " & myRecID
docmd.runsql mysql
I've narrowed it down to the quotation marks and I'm unsure how to handle these. I get a runtime 3075 - Syntax Error.
Here is the code that I use to convert the original string
Public Function FixQuotesInSql(strToFix As String) Dim lgth, y As Long Dim strTemp, char2Add As Variant 'This routine fixes the use of apostrophe and quotation marks in an SQL sequence 'If the apostrophe is at the beginning or end of the string it replaces with 3 x "'" or "'''" 'If in the middle of the string then replaces with 2 x "'" or "''"
How do I make quotes and invoices submittable with no product and service details? We use sale book tags and have a few tags that are voided. I want to keep them in our records as voided. I've create new quotes for these tags, labelled them as void through products and services, but I can not submit the quote. I think I can not submit the quotes because there is no Total Price amount. How do I submit quotes and then invoices for my records with no Total Price amounts?
We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.
Dim What As Word.Shape Set What = doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal , doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin, 225, 534, 0) Dim sPath As String sPath = "G:Temp.html" Open sPath For Output As 1 Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>" Close #1 What.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertFile (sPath)
I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.
I have a Form Display Data in my Access Database, which is working really well. However, users was asking if there is a way we can make Font Color Could/would change if The text in A field or Any field in my display form contained the word "SAD or MAD". Is there code for such thing in display form?..
I'm trying to pull a date from a table into a text box on a form tab control using DLookup and I just can't figure out what is wrong with my DLookup expression:
=DLookUp("DateOrdered","tDateOrdered","PrNumber=" & [PrNumber]) ----- (DateOrdered is short date, PrNumber is text, db is split Access 2013)
Whats missing in this expression? I've tried every criteria variant I could find but to no avail.
