Queries :: Remove HTML And RTF Tags From String
Dec 5, 2013
I'm using Access 2010.
I'm trying to append some text to a field used for comments for a Team Member profile. I don't really want to create a comments table for multiple comments regarding changes to the profile.
Some comments already exist and I want to add some more information programmatically when the profile is updated using a batch update at the end of a reporting period.
I thought it'd be easy in a query,
New Comment:[EXISTING COMMENT] & "; Additional Comment" But I was getting HTML Tags when I tried to concatenate the strings. "<div><font color=black> EXISTING COMMENT HERE </font></div>" then a linefeed and <div> </div>; Additional Comment HERE.
I found a function to kill all the html tags but the visual linefeed and the " " tag won't go away.
I'd like to concatenate two pure text strings to get one pure text string to put back into the comments field which will just be text wrapped with no forced linefeeds.

When I copy data from Outlook or MS Word that contains bullets or other HTML formatted text, into MS Access text control, the HTML tags are displayed in the tables.
The memo field in the table is set to Rich Text and so is the text control on the form.
Below is an example of the data I'm copying from Outlook email:
Fire Alarm Activation
Actual/Smoke Present
False
Planned Drill/Testing
Evacuation
2. Utilities/Power/Communication Failure
Now, below is what it looks like in my table or output in a report:
<ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Fire Alarm Activation </strong></li>
</ol>
</ol>
<ul>
[Code] ....
How can I copy and paste and remove the html tags?

TextBox1 is Rich Text:-
I want to replace my String ("Evidence required of this please" ) in this code 1) following which works fine, with a variable (textToPaste) as in code 2) which doesn't work.
1) TextBox1 = "<div><font style=""BACKGROUND-COLOR:#FFFF00"">Evidence required of this please</font>"
2) TextBox1 = "<div><font style=""BACKGROUND-COLOR:#FFFF00"">textToPaste</font>"
Can I persuade the statement to accept "textToPaste" as a variable and not a normal string?

I did not know where to ask this question or how to ask, so please excuse me.
We have an Access 2007 database that updates an Access 2003 database. My problem is, the data in 2007 is formatted and when the 2003 table is updated, it displays the html formatting tags. Is there a way to remove the formatting (convert to plain text from rich text?) during the update?

Hi,
I have a database which I can add to, edit and delete via an asp.net page, it also allows me to add html tags.
My problem is when the data is then rebinded to the page any HTML tags are changed from '<' to '<' and from '>' to '>' this results in the tags and contents being displayed on the page as text instead of being interpreted as HTML and then formatting the page - most frustrating!
Any help is greatly appreciated, this is a relatively new area for me so many thanks in advance.
Steve

I have an Access template I downloaded which has smart tags. I want to remove all smart tags all of the forms but how.
It must remove all tags as other users will be using the same database on different pc's. So mustn't be a local client setting.

We use Access to pull data from data warehouse and this year they upgraded the new system on the back end and moved old data to the new one. Problem is that in some tables having big fields such as Asset Long Description, Work Long Description and when moved to the new database system, somehow there are certain some XML tags such as <br> </br, etc.. added into the description. So when we pull the data onto the table in Access, is there a way to remove those tags out of the descriptions fields? a macro or module?

I have a field called PropertyID which stores a unique 13 digit number, the 10th digit is always a 3. I want to remove the 3 to leave a 12 digit number.
I've tried running an Update query using Replace([PropertyID],"3","",10,1) but no joy, what am I doing wrong?

I have a weight field that I've been populating with the weight and the unit of measure. I want to seperate those into 2 different fields. I've created a new field called UnitofMeasure and now I need to go back and remove all the instances of 'oz' and 'lbs' from the first field.
Is this possible with SQL?

SELECT FloatTable.DateAndTime, FloatTable.TagIndex AS FloatTable_TagIndex, FloatTable.Val, TagTable.TagName, TagTable.TagIndex AS TagTable_TagIndex

I have this query:
INSERT INTO 1_2_06 ( Issue_ID, Assigned_To, ListType )
SELECT Issue_ID, Assigned_To, 'QPT'
FROM QPTActions
WHERE QPTActions.Entry_Date<=DateValue('1/2/2006') And QPTActions.Close_Date>DateValue('1/2/2006');
The Assigned_To values are a Lastname, Firstname format as they come out of the first database. But I need the comma stripped before they get entered into the INSERT database. Is it possible to do this on the fly?

I need, in some way or another, to be able to import an HTML code from an HTML file into Access. It would be ideal if the end result is a table with one memo field named "HTML".
I know is seems strange, but I need the code itself. I've managed to do a bit of duct-tape work, and import from HTML, but this results in only the text of the HTML code (Meaning the text of the web page, not the tags).
I know I'm crazy for wanting this, but is there anyone out there who can give direction/guidance?
More web-ish than vba-ish,
Andrew

I can select memo field (configured as RichText) as rendered html:
select somehtmlfield from sometable
And have rendered html output:
"normal bold"
Or select it as html string
select Cstr(somehtmlfield) from sometable
And get
"<div>normal <b>bold</b></div>
Is there any way to produce rendered html from string?
I would like to:
select SomeConvertingFunc("<div>something <b>bold</b></div>") from sometable
And have it rendered to "something bold".

Hi there,
It would be quite useful to have a help button on my forms which when pressed, showed a short help tag for each button etc on that form. SO the user knows exactly what each function does.
Im not aware of any built in function to do this? Is there anyway to show all the 'ControlTip Texts' on the page?
Thanks

Access 2007-2010 format Form, 9 bound fields, grouped together Smart Tag = "UnitGroup"
Summary: Needing to run VBA whenever the value is changed within one (or more) of these fields. User could be placing new value (defaults at 0) or editing(changing) previous value entered.
I am not good on writing loops/next statements. But I am wanting to make an image visible to true when someone changes the value within the group.
This is what I have so far:
Dim ctlGroup as Control
For Each ctlGroup in Me.Controls
If ctlGroup.Tag = "UnitGroup" Then 'finds the smart tagged controls
If ctlGroup Then 'if any fields within group changes value then
Me.Image321.Visible = True 'show image
End if
End If
Next ctlGroup
I don't even know if I am close with my code - clearly it is not complete and lots of holes of wonderment!! Maybe it would be easier just to use the individual even (on change) with each individual field (9).

I produce visualisations for architecture companies and use a lot of 2d images of people, cars, trees, skies, etc. As it stands now, I have a folder that contains a huge amount of images that I flip through when I create a new image. I have seen that some websites, such as [URL] .... allow you to filter through an image database based on different tags.
I would like to create a similar database, but stored locally on my computer. I have actually never used Microsoft Access before, but I'm thinking that this might be the best program for me to use. Is this true?
Essentially I would like to organize my library of images of 2D people based on things like: 'staring', 'bicycle', 'looking up', 'back view', 'crowds', 'pointing', 'sitting' etc.

Default Searchable Tagged List...I'm trying to create a list of items that allows me to tag each item with essentially unlimited tags and perhaps a limited number of other fields. Later, I'd like to be able to search that list for specific items by the tags that they have. Finally, I'd like to either export or copy/paste the results.

How to create an expression that removes the ".tif" extension of a file path.The data looks like this in it raw form:
J:201303080056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_00100562 73_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3.tif
In my query grid in the filed row I have the following:
ImageRef: Mid([strImagePath],111,38)
which produces the following:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3.tif
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31.tif
and so on...
What I need to do is remove the ".tif" part of the data. because of the way the path is output with regards to the tif image number, I'm having difficulty in targeting only that data that comes before the ".tif" extension.Is there a method I can use that will remove the right 4 characters and in conjunction with my expression above produce the following:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31
I've managed to work out how to get the data without the file extension ".tif" with the following expression:
ImageRef1: Left([strImagePath],Len([strImagePath])-4)
which gives me the following:
domgennt.dggroup.comglobalResourceApplication sUNIeFlowIMAGES201303080056273_ELECTRICALRET AILER_0010056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
and
domgennt.dggroup.comglobalResourceApplication sUNIeFlowIMAGES201303080056273_ELECTRICALRET AILER_0010056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31
How can I combine the following expression with the above expression to get what I need:
Combine - Mid([strImagePath],111,38) with Left([strImagePath],Len([strImagePath])-4)
to get this result:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31

I have a field called "SC" with a value 13-251. I need to remove the "-" ending up with 13251. I tried using, as a starting point, Mid(String, Start, Length) with no success. I found this in another topic, and thought this might be close to what I was looking for. I sure did not know how to use it. When I selected the run command I got the following response:
Query must have at least one destination.
I tried a few different things like adding an extra field and different pointers but I doubt if I'm even standing in the batters box.
