Queries :: Convert String Back To Hyperlink In Access Query From SQL Table?
Nov 10, 2014
I am in the process of building a new database in SQL to replace my MS Access database. However, I will continue to use the Access forms, queries, and reports. The new tables will house much of the same data. In multiple tables I have hyperlinks that were created and added in the original Access tables. To import these hyperlinks into the new SQL tables I have converted them to 'Long Text' before exporting, thus changing them into strings.
For example:
Hyperlink - Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) has been changed to:
Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010)#ServernameServerfolderDocumentationRea dy to GoOutlook TemplatesEmail - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010).oft#
The obvious issue that I am running into is that after the SQL database table has been linked to the Access database it still displays the entire string when I open the table. The form has a textbox and search button that is used as a search function. This runs a query that returns all "search results" for the desired information. Is there a way that the query can convert the string back into a hyperlink so that the query displays just Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) as a hyperlink and not the entire string?
In my query I want to extract the last 10 characters of a string in a column which represent a date in the format DD.MM.YY and then convert these to a real date format to be available for further processing.
My query looks like this:
SELECT Angebotskopf.[Laufende Nummer], Angebotskopf.Angebotsnummer, Angebotskopf.Angebotsdatum, Angebotskopf.Anfragedatum, Angebotskopf.Kunde, Angebotskopf.Ansprechpartner, Angebotskopf.Telefonnummer, Angebotskopf.Faxnummer, Angebotskopf.Projekt, Angebotskopf.Preis, CONVERT(varchar(10), RIGHT(Angebotskopf.Projekt, 8),104) AS TestAngebot FROM Angebotskopf;
But Access gives an error message "unknown function 'CONVERT'"
The "RIGHT" functions works but the resulting column is not being recognized as a date, it is a only a string and therefore useless for processing of any date related calculation.
I have an expression that converts a string to positive/negative number. It seems to be working fine, however, it doesn't convert "00000000001}" to -10. It shows as 10.
This is the formula that I am using in my query:
PJUNAccrual: IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "J" And "S",-1,1)*(Val([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X])/IIf(IsNumeric([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X]),100,10)+(IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "A" And "I",(Asc(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1))-64)/100,0))+(IIf(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1) Between "J" And "S",(Asc(Right([PJ_ACCRUAL_ADJ_X],1))-73)/100,0)))*100
I have a string value that comes out of a query in the form of
01012015 02012015 12012014
etc...
where the first 2 digits are the month, the next 2 are the day, and the next 4 are the year.How do I convert these values to a valid date that can be queried on?
I am trying to run some diagnostics on my database. I thought a good place to start would be to look at all of the tables, the number of records each table holds, and each table's size. I have been able to find plenty of code on the web that loops through each table and provides the aforementioned data points, but the code only looks at local tables. SInce the database is split, I have a ton of tables linked to the back end that I am unable to get stats on. Any query or any code that can pull back end table stats?
I have a report where I need to display a box with the following:
="text text text " & url &" text text text"
I need the URL to be bolded, but not underlined or blue. The URL is a variable, so I'm building the text using a string. It looks like the only way to set part of the field to bold is to make it rich text and add html bolding instructions, but that converts the url to a hyperlink. I don't want it to be a hyperlink, just text.
I'm trying to create an update query that prompts the user to enter the "Update to" value. The field I am trying to update is a "Yes/No" check box field. When using the following code it because I don't have quotes around the default value "Yes" it inserts "-1" so it works, however the users of the database don't/won't know that "-1" is a yes value and "0" is a no value, so I'd prefer that they could type in text as "yes" or "no" instead:
Eval("InputBox(""Do you want to Complete Update Check Box?"",""Updates Completed?"",Yes,4000,2000)")
Is there a way to convert the "Yes" entered into the Input Box by the user to a "-1" or "0" value behind the scenes so that it will update the field in my table?
I have a field on my Report called Revenue. It is used in a calculation and there is a calculated field called Profit. Revenue-Cost=Profit. That all works.
The only thing that is wrong is that the Revenue field displays its numbers like this:
0.7 12.43 4.3 0
etc.
i.e. not formatted for currency. But I don't get the currency option under Format. It is based on a Query and this Query is based on a Linked Table.
Any suggestions on how to get it formatted as currency while still having the calculated field working?
The dates in my table are strings that appear as 12305 (1/23/05) and so forth. So some are 5 and some are 6 digits depending on the 1 or 2 digit month. I want to convert them in my query to a date field. I think I have to use the DateSerial and extract the parts of the date, but that leading 0 that is not there is throwing me off. Any easy solutions?
I have a field in my database which captures either single digit numbers or comments in text format. I want to be able to count the numbers but obviously I've had to use a memo field in order to capture both numbers and text.
The only way I can think of is to take the field and look for single character responses, then convert these into a number field so that it can be counted.
I am trying to create an order ID field based on the 1st 3 letters of the name of the buyer and the date of purchase. For example, if the buyer is James, I want the order ID to become JAM010112 (If the date is 01/01/12). How do I go about doing this?
I have a sql server query that I need to use in access 2003 but I can not figure out how to convert the "not in" part of the query. Here is the sql server query
Select * from accounts where beg_date between '1/1/2013' and '12/31/2013' and cast(acctNo,integer) in (2,3,4,5,7,12,20) and acct_type not in ('Individual','User','Viewer')
I can not find how to do the "not in" in access sql.
I have a table called [Attachments Table], which has the fields:
AttachNbr as autonumber Task ID as number FileN as hyperlink URLText as long text
I want to copy the URL of the hyperlinks stored in the FileN fields to the URLText fields. However, when I run an update query I am getting the full hyperlink code and not just the address.
Example: FileN will appear as a hyperlink like JR1020.pdf, which is obviously formatted as JR1020.pdf#URL#..How can I copy just the plain URL (the stuff between the hash marks) without the hyperlink text names?
Code: UPDATE [Attachments Table] SET [Attachments Table].URLText = [Attachments Table].[FileN];
I have a field containing data in this format 01Apr04:12:34:56 for example
It is not recognized as a date by Access, so it is stored as text
I need to put it in any general date/time format, like dd/mm/yy hh:nn:ss I also need that Access actually reads it as a date/time (not a string) to be able to merge with other data, then sort chronogically.
How can I do that (please no code, only query if possible, i'm really a newbie...)
I was trying to see if there is a way to convert text to a hyperlink in a query.
Background : I'm pulling information from a lotus notes database using an OBDC connection and storing it into an access database and using that to upload to a sharepoint site. While we are converting over to a sharepoint site, I was trying to make it easy to get back to the original site for each document to check the work.
I am trying to update a memofield from a form.My file.. sign_midi.asp has this partial code.First I pick up the record I want to update. And then present it in a form. " <tr> <td align="right" height=10 valign="top"><b>Beskrivning :</b></td> <td align="left" height=10 valign="top" width=250><TEXTAREA WRAP="soft" name="M1" cols="65" rows="8"><% = rs("text")%>
I have two tables Atable and BTable and both have a field called AcctNo. In Atable, it is type of Number and in BTable, it is type of Text. When I do a join with these two tables
select * from Atable, BTable where Atable.AcctNo=Btable.AcctNo
I get error saying "type mismatch".
My question here is: How can I convert a type from number to string or string to number in my sql statement?
I need to import data in this format:The top row of numbers are AttributeIds .In order to import it into my DB I need to convert it into the following fields and records.Any fields that are null should not get a record in the conversion.
I have a query that combines few different tables in order to create a View (Query) that is then used to by and Excel sheet to update a list. The Excel is dynamical updated when new data is inputted in the Access Tables.
But one of the fields in a query is combination of path name and report name (another filed in one of the tables) that crate a complete path to a file that contains some additional information.
Now since the Excel is updated dynamical and users of this Excel sheet are not very advanced. I waned to make it easy for them to just click on the location of the file and the file opens up. But I am not able to make the Query that contains the file destination hyperlinked.
