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 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 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.
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?
What's the best way in an update query, using access 2003, to update data in a record based on the previous record having an identical value in a certain field?
For example my data looks something like this, in this example I want row 2 to fill in the blanks with the data from row 1 as they both have the same ID number at the end highlighted in red:
1 2 Anywhere Street 1 2 1 1 5423 2 4 Anywhere Street . . . . 5423 3 6 Anywhere Street 1 2 1 1 6401 4 8 Anywhere Street 1 2 1 1 6402
I've found various threads here on how to copy the whole record but I only want to copy the data from certain fields. More oftem than not the fields I'll be copying to will be NULL.
how to reference a field from the previous record within an update query I could probably work it out from there?
I am trying to copy the parameter value that is entered to a variable so that it can be used to run other queries without typing it in over and over. Once my form is finished it will run 4 queries, and the current setup is that I would have to retype the parameter each time.
i have thousands of data records with hyperlinks that are correct. Each data record shows the actual link (google.com, foxnews.com, espn.com, etc.). However, i want to change all of the records to just say "link" instead of saying espn.com, etc. How can i do this automatically without having to manually right click, edit, and changing the text to display?
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.
So I have a table with 2 fields.The first field has the addresses to multiple hyperlink paths to folders on my computer.In this field the display text matches the hyperlink paths.In the second field I have the desired display text for field 1.I have tried using an update query to either:
1) Change the display texts of field 1 to match field 2 while preserving the hyperlink path 2) Add the hyperlink path from field 1 to field 2 without altering the display name.
I cannot get either one to work. Upon updating field 1, I lose the path, and upon updating field 2, I lose the name.
I have 4 different sites with their own data source and have created 33 Queries for the first site. Is there a way I can copy the queries to the other sites instead of recreating them manually? All sites have their own data that is in the same format. All the information is in the same format and similar (different amounts, dates, but all in amount and date fields), they are named differently corresponding to their sites.
I hope some one can help me hear as i am fairly new in this forum. I have been using access from some time time and have come across a problem i and not shore how to solve.
I have query that contains a field which is a 6 digit number. the number of record in query can change from day to day with anywhere between 1 to 100 records.
what i am looking to do is to create a hyperlink that access can follow that will contain a constant text stringof say "www.mywebsite.com/order.aspx?sItems=[record1],[record2],so on untill all reocrds are filled.
Any help with this problem would be much appreciated
Hi, I have a query that I build using VBA based on some user input. One of the fields I pull out is a hyperlink to particular files on our local network, so the user can click the link and open the relevant file. My problem is that if the SELECT statement contains one (or more) UNIONs the hyperlinks no longer work. The query returns all the fields but the hyperlink field is just text of the form "display_text#link_address#". I am using MS Access 2000. The UNION statements are required so I can search for multiple keywords in various fields within the table.
An example of the SQL query I generate is: SELECT DocRef, DocTitle, DocAbstract, DocLink, DocAuthor, DocDate FROM TechDocs WHERE DocType IN ('TechRep', 'Misc') AND DocAbstract LIKE ('*drug*') UNION SELECT DocRef, DocTitle, DocAbstract, DocLink, DocAuthor, DocDate FROM TechDocs WHERE DocType IN ('TechRep', 'Misc') AND DocAbstract LIKE ('*release*');
If I do the query a different way (when I am searching for phrases, not keywords) the hyperlinks work fine. As you can imagine this is very frustrating! I have read that Access 2000 has some problems with UNIONs where it has to order the individual SELECT results before the union or something, but I can't work it out. :confused:
SQL does not copy the field (autonumber) of table1 to another field (number longue) of table2. Is this normal and is there a way around it? Here is the code:
Code: "INSERT INTO TransUPDSHTbl SELECT TranSHTbl.MemID, TransSHTbl.FirstName, " & _ " TransSHTbl.LastName, " & _ " TransSHTbl.Language, TransSHTbl.Email, TransSHTbl.Federation " & _ " FROM TransSHTbl " & _ " INNER JOIN MembersTbl ON ((TransSHTbl.LastName = MembersTbl.NOM) AND " & _ " (TransSHTbl.FirstName = MembersTbl.PRENOM)) ORDER BY MembersTbl.MemID;"
There are a number of what I call reference tables. These are fairly static and in the main will not change.
There are a further half a dozen tables all linked together.
The system basically takes an enquiry which may lead to a repair taking place. The repair will have a number of jobs and each job may have parts replaced.
What I want to do is have an identical database which to begin with will have exact copies of all the reference tables. The remaining half a dozen tables initially will be empty but grow with time.
The user wants to be able to copy the completed repairs he selects over to the 2nd database (which is initially empty). As weeks go by he wants to select further completed jobs that have not already been copied over to the 2nd database. The 2nd database will be updated so I can't just copy over all completed repairs each time.
I had envisage him doing this by using a front end to the 2 databases and firstly selecting which of the completed jobs which haven't been copied over. This is a fairly straight forward query that will update a field on the repair table.
Once he has done this I was thinking that I could run a query that would pull all the rows from the 6 tables from database 1 and update the corresponding tables/rows on the 2nd database.
I don't actually know how to approach that. The process needs to be simple for the user. ie 1. select repairs to copy over 2. run something to copy them over.
I have two tables pertaining to the same database.
Table [Purchase_Order_Details] amongst many fields have Columns - (Purchase Order #) which is the Primary Key and (Work Order #)
My second table [Order Details] also has a column (Work Order #) . Now I have added another column to this table i.e. (PurchaseOrderNo) - this column is blank as of now.
However I would like to run a query to fill the (PurchaseOrderNo) column depending upon the (Work Order #) which is present both the tables.
I have a button on a form that when clicked, does the following:
I have a table called [Workorder Parts] that has 128 records in it with Fields named WorkOrderPartID (Autonumber), WorkorderID(Number), PartID(Number), Quantity(Number), UnitPrice(Currency), Notes(Memo), KitID(Number).
I want to copy records into another table called [tKitsWorkorderParts] that has the identical structure based upon a value in the field WorkorderID. For testing purposes let's assume that the field contains the value "12". There are 28 records in the table that have the value set to "12"
If I hardcode the value "12" into the following SQL statement, it finds and copies the 28 records correctly.
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO [tKitsWorkOrderParts] SELECT * FROM [WorkOrder Parts] WHERE [WorkOrder Parts.WorkOrderID] = 12"
so far so good.....
Now, on the form there is a Text Box called WorkorderID that contains the value "12".
If I change the code to the following, I get all 128 records instead of just the 28 I am expecting:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO [tKitsWorkOrderParts] SELECT * FROM [WorkOrder Parts] WHERE [WorkOrder Parts.WorkOrderID] = WorkorderID"
I have inserted a few MsgBox displays to display the value contained in WorkorderID and it shows "12"...
Given a table field that is a hyperlink type. I need an Update Query to set all records of that table so that the Displayed Value part of the hyperlink field (not the Address part) is set to a particular value. Any ideas how? Thanks.
I use the query below to pivot the data into the right format for export:
Code: TRANSFORM First(Amount) SELECT SrcUD2 FROM source WHERE LocName="myLoc" AND Entity="LE01" AND PeriodName="QA - 2014" AND ScenarioName="Actual" AND (Account="col1" Or Account="col2" Or Account="col3" Or Account="col4" Or Account="col5" Or Account="col6" Or Account="col7") AND (SrcUD2="row1" Or SrcUD2="row2" Or SrcUD2="row3" Or SrcUD2="row4" Or SrcUD2="row5" Or SrcUD2="row6" Or SrcUD2="row7" Or SrcUD2="row8" Or SrcUD2="row9") GROUP BY SrcUD2 PIVOT Account
which yields the following table as the query result:
which is great except that I want to transfer the results to Excel using the CopyFormRecordset method without the metadata of column 1 (row1, row2 etc.
This may not be the proper forum, but I don't know where else to put the question. Table1 is a mysql table with a memo field which is set up in a form as a rich text field. I can copy and paste lines from an email and they display properly. Viewing that field in the underlying table they have <br />, etc.
Table2 is another mysql table, containing a memo field in plain text. I need to append the records in table2 to table1. The memo field gets appended as one long run-on sentence with no LF/Cr or <br />. How can I programatically convert the plain text to rich text either before, during or after the append?
If two developers are working on two seperate databases, is it possible to merge the work done in both database together, that i mean to say is, can we export the form/report/query from one database and import it in the other ?
Is is possible to copy queries, reports, modules, etc. from one database to another, and if so, how? I have some queries and reports in an inventory database I'd like to copy and use in another database without having to set them up or re-code them again.
