I have this test file I am using. I want to figure out how to make a query( using the wizard or other functions are fine) . In this stream it always has Invoice Number: 385152769: I want to query to get 385152769 for every line. Is this possible?
View RepliesHello,
I have an unbound form where the user enters feedback, usually > 255 chars. When they hit the "Submit" button, an append query adds this to a memo field on a table. A memo field should be able to hold 65,000 some characters however everything after 255 turns into a special character, mostly boxes. Any ideas on how to retain the text?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Users are supposed to enter the data with One letter, 3 dashes and 7 numbers. If they enter any other way I need to be able to identify it with out searching through some 4000 records. Please help
View 3 Replies View Relatedhow to create text-field that holds more than 255 char.
If I, try to enter more than 255 in the Field Size field.

"Setting for field size properity is 0 to 255" :confused:
I know I have seen post close to this one but not hitting what I need.
I currently have a query that is structured as such...
Service: IIf([Serv] Like '*AA*',' Bas ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*AB*','Exp ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*CA*',' Dig ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*89*',' 384 ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*8H*',' 3M ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*?5*',' 5M ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*=W*',' 10M ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*<1*',' Tele ','')
Works great except for the last IIF stmt has now been changed to look for the code *6 - not wildcard6 -
How can I get Access to realize that I need it to look for
anything to the left or right but it must find the *6
This IIf([serv] Like '**6*',' Tele ','') wont work b/c I have other codes that end in 6.
I am at a loss - any help is appreciated.
Is it possible to use <enters> in text or varchar fields??
In this way users can easily switch to the next line instead of typing everything all together
Hi,
I've read a bit on exporting Access fields longer than 255 characters (Memo) into Excel, and the general concensus is that it cannot be done.
All I need to do is run a report, right click the report, and select Export from the menu.
However, if it can be done using a query, any assistance or pointing in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks..

I have tried to use a bit of code so return the Last Year and WeekNo in my database, to select some records but�. It currently fails, I think this because it returns the values as text and will then not compare to a numeric field. Is there an easy way to change this code so it returns numbers.
qryCurrentWkYr
Code:
SELECT
Right(yw,2)
AS week,
[Code].....
I have 2 columns that are listed as such:
AssumptionMo AssumptionYr
MAY 2014
JUN 2015
JUL 2015
OCT 2016
I need to create a field called AssumpDate that converts the month into a date field on the 1st day of the month. ex May 2014 needs to read 5/1/2014. When I use the expression AssumpDate: DateValue("1-" & [Assumption_Month] & "-" & Year(Date())) of course the year changes to the current one--2015. How can I I change the expression so that the year is based on the AssumptionYr column?
I am looking to create a catalog database. It is to serve as a finished product warehouse, as well as a product development tool. There are a number of fields, most of which are straight-forward.
One large problem I have is that the product descriptions are roughly 700 characters. Is there a way to have this information entered into Access and stored either in this database or elsewhere?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Hi
I want to ask something simple but because i am new i am dont know it!!! If you try to make queries in Access, untill how many characters you can put in each query???
In MySQL I can use the LEFT(3, field_name) command, but I essentially want access to pull all records from a table where the the first three digits of a number field match those pre-selected by a form drop down.
This database is in Access 97. Is there a way to compare the first x number of digits using SQL only, or do I need to run each line through code first, and then check it (I really don't want to do that)?
example numbe rin field:
123456789
SQL checks to see if 123 matches value selected on a form.
How do a write a query to find those rows in a field that have only 5 characters?

I need to query a field for any records where this field has less that 10 characters. Any suggestions? The reason is depending on the type of customer the field can be 10 or 11 digits. IF there are less than 10 but not blank they need to be pulled for correction.

Hello,
I have created a query using the query builder by concatenationg several fields using the expression builder. Once concatenated, the total number of characters is greater than 255, and is therefore truncated. Since this is a query field and not a table field, there must be a way around this limitation. I can't even create the query and dump the results into a memo field because the dump will still only contain 255 char.
I could probably create the query using VBA, which creates a table containg a memo field, which is then populated by a variable containing the concatenated fields, but I would like a simpler solution.
Any ideas on how I can generate a query field that contains more than 255 char? The query is used to populate a report.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to replace a # character and all characters after in a text field.
U set up a Select query and used the following expression:
Expr1: Replace([Part Number],"[#]*","")
It doesn't change any of the records. Is this possible to do in Access 2007?
I have a field in Access 2010 called Section Number which generally holds two characters. The characters can be numbers, letters, or a combination. Examples are:
01
X1
KA
40
Sometimes this field holds three characters, such as:
01a
02b
I want to write a query that returns only the Section Numbers that contain two characters. The instances where the field holds three characters are too numerous and changeable to use a parameter that says, for example: not "01a" and not "02b"
Is there a way to write a parameter that means "not Section Numbers of three characters" or "not Section Numbers of more than 2 characters"?
I have over 270,000 records in my database with 4 fields. And for each field I need to make sure they dont go over a certain number of characters for example field1 can't go over 20. Is there a way I can make sure that they don't go over that? When I go to design view and go to the Data Type of each field I change the filed size to 20, but if something is imported into that field that is over 20 characters long will I get a message saying it won't import? Or can I write a query to check the whole field to make sure that nothing is over 20 characters?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a query that is linked to a data table. The values entered in the data table are fine and display as expected. When I run the query, the results of one of the columns show Chinese like characters instead of the actual value. But, when I filter that column by choosing 'does not contain...' the actual cell contents display. I have 2 other identical queries reading from the same table and they do not display funky.
View 3 Replies View Relatedmemo fields chopping the content when appending to another table memo field.I have a query that takes in a couple of tables and then appends the content to one larger table.In each of the smaller tables there is a memo filed that when I check it has the entire type content in above 255 without a problem.
When the query runs and appends it to the larger table the content in the memo filed is chopped down.Both tables fields are set to memo I have double checked this.I have seen some comments about unique values in the query properties but these are set to NO as advised but it still does this.
