Is it possible to search a field for a Lowercase letter.All data should be capital, but occasionally a user may ann a record in lowercase, and was looking for a query to pull back all records in lowercase
View RepliesHello,
I need to create a query that will seach through a column and only return a result with product codes starting with A.
An example of a product code is AA0000034567.... however there is no realy consistancy. Some start with the AA and some don't. Some have 5 zeros before the numbers start others may only have 1, 2, 3, or 4 zeros before the number.... There are approx 76,000 product codes in total.
My end goal is to create a query to find all the records that have a product code starting with A so that I can eventually delete the AA00000 portion of the code and strip the number back to the point where the 34567 starts.
I figured that by separating out the product codes that start with AA would be a good start.
If any one has any suggestions please let me know.

ok here is what i want.. imagine a search box, just an empty text box that allows the user to type things into it...
there will be a simple table from the database behind it, here is the typical structure of a record
<Country>Poland
<Price1>60
<Price2>85
<Price3>95
in this table there will be say a 1000 of these records...
my user is going to have to quickly search through these records while on the phone to a customer, and quote one of the relevant prices associated with that country
what i would like is this most convenient system..
as the user types in the letter 'P' just below all the records with countries that begin with 'P' are displayed (with a scroll down arrow if needed)..as well as the 3 relevant prices with that record
if they then type an 'O' into the box (which will now hold 'Po') all the records with countries beginin with 'Po' will be displayed (eg Poland)
if they delete the 'o'. once again the displayed records below the box will return to just the countries begginin with 'p'
all that is needed is for the records to be displayed, thats it.. but the adding and deleting of the letters within the text search box will need to instantly manipulate this list..
i have posted on other forums, and have been told this can be acheived in access, is it hard?
When I type the first letter I into the search text area I get the following error
Run-time error '2110'
Microsoft Access can't move the focus to the control SearchResults
Most of the code is below
QRY-SearchAll
SELECT Clients.ClientId, Clients.ClientFileNumber, Clients.ClientShortFileNo, Clients.Salutation, Clients.FirstName, Clients.LastName, [Group Branches].BranchCode, Clients.Phone, Clients.Mobile, Clients.Fax, Clients.BpayRef, Clients.TradingAs, Clients.EntityType, Clients.ABN, Clients.ACN, Clients.Address1, Clients.Address2, Clients.Town, Clients.State, Clients.PostCode, Clients.Country, Clients.Email, Clients.ClientGroup, Clients.DateCreated, Clients.Notes, Clients.LastModified, Clients.UserCode, Clients.BdmCode, Clients.CollLongNo, Clients.CollShortNo,
[Code] ....
Now,
I have a big table with sales data downloaded from DB2.
We have branches codes of 1 digit only.
Because of too many branches we have branch codes in upercase and lowercase. So Q ans q are different branches.
I'd like to substitute all lowercase codes like q with something like q_ to make them searchable.
How I can substitute all lowercase letters in one column of the large table in one shot?
Or may be you know any solution how to make Access queries sensitive to the case.
Hi all, couple of quick questions that the newbie cant figure out.
1. How can I make a new column in an existing table and then fill it with the same value, at the moment I have to copy and paste every record?
2. How can I convert the contents of a column to lowercase other than doing a find and replace for every letter of the alphabet?
Any help will save me hours of time and help prevent my chronic copy and paste cramp.

I've been stumped on this and could use some help...
Fields in my table contains some words that are in uppercase and some in lowercase. I would like to delete all the lowercase letters and keep only the uppercase ones.
For example, if a field contains the following text:
CHLOROSULFONIC ACID with or without sulfur trioxide
I would like to change this to:
CHLOROSULFONIC ACID
Can this be done via an automated process?
Thanks!

I need to find out where the field called "R_SHIFT" is being referenced in all our MS Access queries. I just need the query name so I can go into the query and change the name from "R_SHIFT" to "SHIFT"
I was thinking there was a function for Modules to Find Field? I have never done any Modules before..
I need to be able to print records for certain students showing their best and worst results for each exercise. Must be printed in portrait A4. Each student must be on a new page. I am trying to create a query which will find the results for studentID AA111 and DS1119. For each student:
- Find the best and worst RepsOrTime for each exercise
- Display studentID, StudentSurname, StudentForename, ExerciseID, Description, Best and worst RepsOrTime
- Name best records "best"
- Name worst records "worst"
Please see attached document.
I can find the result for one student id but when i try putting both student ids in it returns no result, also, I do not know how to rename best records best and worst records worst.For this i have two headings shown as RepsOrTime and it shows the max and min value for each exercise.
Hi, anyone know if it possibe to create a field within a query that looks at a 3 letter number code in a field of a table named "employee master" to see if the last number is an "I" or not. So for example a number code in a field named "Department" is "KTI". I would like to display "indirect" in that field if it contains a "I" in the 3rd letter of the number. And display "direct" if the third letter is a "D" intstead, tried doing IF statements but not sure how to go about it, any help would be great.

I have a database with two tables being Suppliers and Products. This is a one to many type database with Suppliers being the one table.
Both tables have their own data entry forms.
In the Products table and data entry form is field named Category with a value list of about 20 different values. The query I need to create is to search on the field value from one of the listed values in the associated combo box.
I have set up the basic query using the Query wizard. To run This I have to entry the value I wish to search for in the Query in Design mode.
My problem is now I want to drive the query from a new form. On the new form I have created a combo box where the field list is the same as on the product data entry form.
I need to use this combo box to select the Category field value I need to search for and then click on the button to run the query. I seem to be stuck on the SQL code to achieve this...

We're trying to create a database to read quotes from a system based on changes made to components.
We have the database set up to store the quotes happily. We're pleased with the input forms and data capture however we are struggling with a query to get useful data from the database.
I have a main quote data table listing all the required fields such as costs and supplier data for the quotes, a table storing components that may be changed as part of a quote and a table listing alterations that could be made to these components. Each quote could have a number of changes made to a number of components. All these changes are stored in a changes made table which lists the quoteID, ComponentID being changed and The AlterationID of the alteration being made.
I want to be able to input a varied amount of changes via a form and be shown a list of all quotes where at least one change matches. I've managed to get this far using a lot of OR statements however the complexity is introduced as we need to sort these by an extra column produced by the query displaying the percentage the changes made in the quote match the search input.
If a quote appears matches my changes and there are no other changes on the quote - (100%)
If a quote matches all changes I have input but I input 5 changes and the quote has 6 - (5/6 - 83%)
If I input 1 change and a quote matches but has 8 changes on the quote - (1/8 12.5%)
I have a form that looks up office names and will automatically populate a field called office number based upon their selection in the combo box. I have a submit button on click event set up to run a query.
Now, here's where I am running into issues: In this query, I need to pull selected columns of information based upon a multivalue lookup field. This multivalue lookup field is joined with the table that the values populate from.
The form will only have one value stored in the txt box field, and I need to be able to search for all records containing that one value.
This is what I have for code:
SELECT FilePlan.FPName, FilePlan.Description, FilePlan.[File Code], FilePlan.GRS, FilePlan.Schedule
FROM Offices INNER JOIN FilePlan ON Offices.[Office Number] = FilePlan.OfficeNumb.Value
WHERE (((FilePlan.OfficeNumb.Value) Like "*" & [Forms]![RetCutOff]![txtOffNumb] & "*"));
Do I need to string multiple queries together to make this work, or is it just not possible?
I'm very new to access and i'm trying to write an input mask for a first/last name field where the first letter capitalizes automatically. Is the input mask the correct avenue and if so how do i write it? I can make the first letter caps through the > and continue but i'd like for the rest to continue on indefinitely as to not restrict the length of the field.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've recently finished constructing a database that uses forms with checkboxes i.e. when a user opens a form there are several checkboxes associated with labels, but the table only stores the check-boxes and the form labels are the field (column) names on the table.
Now, what I'm trying to do is create a search feature whereby if a keyword search is conducted, a search through the column names from the table with checkboxes takes place and only lines (rows) with true (checked) checkboxes are returned.
