Queries :: Pull Letters From Notes Field If Empty?
Oct 29, 2014
I have a query that holds data based on a field. If the field [Device In] is "TimeStation-1" in TblTime for example it holds "AV" in the field [House]. Trouble is some fields are blank and when this is so I want it to pull the last two letters from the [Notes] field. I have attached the database. The query is [QryDeductionsandSleep Ins].
I am trying to create a query that returns records whether a field has data or not...
There are three fields in question, SSN, DOB (this is a date field), POB (this is a foreign key representing a state in the query shows the actual state). Now unless the criterion is different then I just need the answer for one I can reproduce.
I would like to do this in the criteria box in the query.
The query pulls from one table, some of the employees in this table have the three fields populated some don't. I would like the query to return all employees...
I'm having trouble with using a where statement linked to fields when the field is empty. I need a way to say if field is null then 'do nothing'/'select all' else use the text from the box.
I have a form (ServicesRCSSearch) which has 3 combo boxes (Location1, Location2 and Location3). These fields are linked to a query. The button on the form generates the query.
My SQL for the query is currently:
Select Services.Key, Services.Location, Services_1.Location, Services_2.Location From Services, Services_1, Services_2 (copies of the same table all left joined)
Where ((IIf(forms!ServicesRCSSearch!Location1 Is Null,"",services.Location=forms!ServicesRCSSearch! Location1))<>False)
And ((Services_1.Location)=IIf(forms!ServicesRCSSearch !Location2 Is Null,forms!ServicesRCSSearch!Location1,forms!Servi cesRCSSearch!Location2))
And ((Services_2.Location)=IIf(forms!ServicesRCSSearch !Location3 Is Null,forms!ServicesRCSSearch!Location1,forms!Servi cesRCSSearch!Location3))
This works in that it uses the fields to filter the query but when Location1 is empty there are no results as you can see from the code.
I have a created a query which I want to update a table. The field is called DTP. I have the Workingdays2 module in place as well as the Holidays Table. The dates (date only) are called Time in and Transaction date. I want the table to update records only if the entry in Completed is Yes. I have attached screenshot of what I have in query. I am no good whatsoever at VBA so I used the Query design view. It shows how many records will be updated (which is a valid number) and shows me which field will be updated. However when I run the query and then opend the Table the DTP field is empty.
I am just querying a single table, no relationship involved with another table. As you can see form the attached jpeg, the ZIP field in some cases is empty. I would run a search using Is NULL but the field is NOT numerical. It's a long story but I had to make this field a TEXT field. Basically, what statement do I have to insert in the criteria field to just pull up the EMPTY ZIP fields?
I have a column containing an id that consists of the first two letters of a weekday followed by an incrementing number. For example, for Monday, I have "MoA1" "MoA2" "MoA3" ... "MoA11".
The problem is that when I sort my list, it is ordering it: "MoA1" "MoA10" "MoA11" "MoA2" "MoA3" etc. Currently, my order by property is set to
I would like to run a query which takes a code which contains a mixture of number and letter and returns all the number before the first letter. I was using the left function (=Left(([Codes],2)) but sometimes there is one number sometime two. The desired results are shown below;
I have a database housing insurance policies, agents and groups(schools that have the policies). Currently, we call groups and put a "note" on a policy. This is a very basic database. I created a field called "notes". The callenge I have with this field is that only one note can be contained. Therefore, if we call several times the dates and note information all go to the same field. Any suggestions on setting up some type of table that would allow multiple note fields? how would I link the table to the main information table?or another approach? Any suggestions would be helpful.......

The big issue is wanting to create the following records in a subform every time a new record in the subform is added. I can populate the Ticket field and know how to cast fields as strings to append them (so I can get the Cylinder field). The output is used to populate a table called Cylinders. My question is:
How do I create a field of letters (or numbers) corresponding to the row in the subform without continuing from the previous letter (or number) in the Cylinders table?
I am trying to pull my information together for printing and also sending attachments. I have a field whose type is set to memo.
I have created 2 select queries, one pulls all of the information together except for the memo field, the other pulls the OrderID and the memo field. I then created a 3rd select query which merges those two back together (This is the only way I have been able to get this to work in the past).
Now, whenever I run the query, the notes field is trashed... All that is displayed is a few strange Chinese characters and that's it.
Someone please help with this, as it is a very big problem. Thanks!
how to write out the query Im trying to create so I'll create an example:
Field: Drivers Names I want to know how to create a query that will calculate the # of drivers names which starts with, A, B, C etc. I want my query to be:
Drivers names first letter # of first letters A 10 B 19 C 15
I have a need to strip of letters from a string but i needs to look for / as the length would change, below is an example of the data I am working with
record 1 example ) REP/1349/999/426066/XX/9 record 2 example ) REP/UDKBS01N/1/448174/XX/
what i need to extract is
1) = 1349 2) = UDKBS01N
I need to get the information between the first / and the second / is there a function in access to get this.
I know that you can insert comments and notes in VBA code using a singular quote, like the following:
Code: 'Comment about what the code does
Is there a similar way to insert comments in the SQL of queries? I found other forum posts that say this isn't possible but those were all for pre-2010 Access. Has this changed at all?
I have a form containing two memo fields - Fld_Note and Fld_History.
What I was aiming for is that when someone enters info into Fld_Note, that either automatically when they leave the form - or when a button is pressed - the text from Fld-Note is copied to Fld_History and date stamped.
Any future notes are also date stamped and appended to the info in Fld_History (ideally most recent first) so that users have an audit trail in Fld_History of what notes have been added and when e.g.

I know how to create new table in Access by linking to Outlook contacts. The problem is, the default NOTES field in the Outlook contact does not show up in the linked Access table. Every Outlook Contact field shows up with the exception of that one field.
I'm having an issue with pound signs in my table for specific items. I've create a DB that when you click a command button it opens a form and in the form it has a notes field. In the notes field once where i had data is now pound signs.
The DB is setup so when you click another command button to close out, it saves the record. It works 98% of the time but the i'm concern about the other 2% of the time.
I have code which is attached to onclick of a checkbox,
What I want it to do is if the user clicks it and checks it then to add some note to a memo field, if the user clicks it and its already checked then it doesn't add a note to a memo field.
Code: Private Sub Check45_Click() If Check45 = 0 Then Check45 = 1 If Len([Forms]![Customer]!Notes.Value & "") = 0 Then
[Code] ....
But I can't seem to add any other lines which make sense to me that it doesnt add "letter sent" to a memo field if its already checked?
I am working on a fairly ancient manufacturing database that identifies items using a combination of letters and numbers. The usual format is to have a letter (which suggests something about the item type) followed by a sequence of numbers.
I am trying to write a query that looks up all the records beginning with a prefix or arbitrary length, strips away the text, and finds the highest number.
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix FROM tblItemIDCrossReference WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1)=True)
This query produces the error given in the title of this thread, whilst the following works:
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix FROM tblItemIDCrossReference WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,5)=True)
This related query also works and shows a load of -1s and 0s correctly
Code:
SELECT Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1) As IDSuffix, IsNumeric(Right(LocalID,Len(LocalID) - 1)=True) As Alias FROM tblItemIDCrossReference WHERE Left(LocalID,1) = 'T' AND
But once again shows the error message when I try to filter the field Alias to -1 or 0 only through the right-click menu.I have tried piping Len(LocalID)-1 through CLng, CInt, Int, CDbl and CSng; this changes the error to 'Invalid Use Of Null' I have also tried removing the '=True' from the IsNumeric() term.
Is there a way to format a memo field to ensure that sentences begin with capital letters. There might have been something in the strConv function, but it seems my hopes are dashed?
