Query To Check Whole Field To Make Sure That Nothing Is Over 20 Characters?
Jan 1, 2015
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?

having used a query to generate data from a set of records where i can select the criteria (they are two letter abrv and are in a single field in the table but there may be multiple criteria). As I would like others to do it without using the query my first thought was a form with a series of check boxes tick for inclusion in the query or not. As i have built the query am I looking at changing that or taking it all into VB and using some code to pull the relavant 'ticks' across............ and how the hell would i do that......
many thanks in anticipation......

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.

Is there an easy way in VBA to loop through a recordset and determine if the text string in a text field includes numeric characters?
I'm trying to do something like this:
Code:
Do Until rst.EOF
rst.Edit
If Left(rst!FldText,10) contains any numeric characters Then
rst!FldType = "Mixed"
ElseIF Left(rst!FldText,10) contains "PO" Then
rst!FldType = "PO"
Else
rst!FldType = "Std"
End If
rst.Update

In vba I need to check a specific field (ID) for special characters used in that field. The characters to check for are:
' " ! * # & ^ % $ " : ; | < > ? @ { } [ ]
The code I have is:
strSQL = "SELECT ......... "
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
rs.MoveFirst
Do While Not rs.EOF
rstTest.AddNew
rstTest("ID").value = rs![ID]
rstTest.Update
rs.MoveNext
Loop
I need to know what I should put after "SELECT

Maybe it's the day's 'brain drain', but I need to set a criteria in a query whereby it will select answers in a field that are a specific number of characters in length.
i.e., answers that are 5 digits long (without knowing any of the digits)

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 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 want to be able to make row searches for multiple sets of characters at the same time.The default setting cancels a row if I have inputed a set that is not on that row.Something that could be used in a store or by a lawyer looking for specifics.So these are what I am looking for:
Primary
1.) I want any row with any of the words I type to show on the results.
2.) I want the rows with the most matches to show up first.
Secondary
1.) Recognize sets of characters that are close to what I type to make up for spelling errors and typos, prioritize those that are closest.
2.) To be able to choose the rows I want and add them to another list quickly where the summing cost will be calculated in the last raw (multiplying the price of a row by how many the customer wants.)

What I would like to know is, how to make an Option Group that allows for multiple choices instead of one. MS explains in detail for a single choice only, or you can use their Option Group Wizard (again single choice)?

I have a query in my database, and I have recently added new possible entries for area. My report tells me how many male chickens vs. how many female chickens I have. Now with the new entries for area, I want my breakdown to EXCLUDE any chickens that live in a specific area.
For instance:
Pen A has 15 males & 15 females.
Pen B has 12 Males & 13 Females.
Pen C has 50 males & 50 females.
Pen C is the recent addition...
Right now my report shows: 77 Males & 78 Females...
I WANT it to EXCLUDE Pen C, so it would report: 27 Males & 28 Females.
Can anyone tell me how best to do this? I figured I would add a custom field to the query that the criteria for is "Pen = C" and then on my report I would change the data source from: =Count([Chicken Query]![Male] --- and make it =Count([Chicken Query]![Male] - Count([Pen="C"]) --- or something like that.
Can anyone help me? And if so could you help with the proper code for the second part that I am adding new? I know the Count([Pen="C"]) isn't right, but until I know exactly how to add a custom field to the current query, with the critieria of Pen="C", I don't know how to write the -Count([NewField]) code, if that would even work.
Thanks!

I have a field that has a formula that calculates the age and I want to make a query that shows me all the people, for example, with 20 years. I tried to do that but there's no result. I think it is because I have a formula there.

DB Setup:
Table1: I have a table (Vendor) that has 2 fields (# & Name) with # being an AutoNumber. So only Name is being input via a form. I have formatted the autonumber field as 000;(000).
Table2: A table that is populated via form with invoice info etc and vendor number is added through a drop down combo box (which also has the above format on it)
Table3: Similar to table2, with slightly diff info but still vendor #
Query1: Is a make table that consolidates table 1 & 2 via union on like fields (ie vendor #) This make table also has the format from above in its properties field, although when i open the table it makes (Table4) the vendor field is not formatted as i need it. So 3 appears as 3 not 003.
Query2: takes table4 adds some extra info and exports file (as txt or xls)using outputTo & TransferText macro so that it can be loaded into a Hyperion Essbase system
My problem is that although the field value is formatted as 003 in appearance, when i take it to excel it changes back to 3 when i need it to stay as 003. I would like the make table query to also format the tables field as 000. Is the problem with the autonumber in the orig table or is it simply excel being stubborn when i take it there. If i changed the vendor field to text string in the make table would i still be able to link it back to the orig vendor table to get the names etc (ie number field linked to text field??)
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
stumped on an issue I thought would be pretty straight forwards (again) so i'm hoping to find the answer here! I have a make table query which produces the table using fields from three other tables and it runs fine however I now want to insert a new field with the value "Current" in it, and, if possible, an Autonumebr ID field as primary key. I'd like this is all done in one query so not sure if it will fly but if anyone can advise me I know someone from here can help.
Thanks in advance,
Mitch......

I have numerous databases that I use with make tables in there, these will often contain Currency values that we need to be set as just General Numbers. We can get it to work in the Query but whenever we run the query, the table it makes always shows up as currency.
Is there a way so that the table created will automatically be just General numbers...

I am extracting information from a datawarehouse with a make table query. I will run this queary one time to create the table. Then I plan on creating an append queary to extract the same fields on a weekly basis. I want to keep track of the datasets that i extract weekly. I thought I could create a field with a julian date or the week of the year. Does anyone know how I could create this field in my append queary? OR any thoughts on how i can keep track of the records appended each week?

I'm trying to make a nested if then statement in a query field, and I can't figure out why I can't get my formula to work:
Volume: IIf([MethodCode]="K",[total]*12.54*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="S",([length]*[width]*[depth])/2,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="SH",[total]*5.08*0.026873,IIf([MethodCode]="M" And [Location]="C",[total]*18.58*0.026873," "))))
I keep getting the "data type mismatch in criteria expression" error. If I separate out all the individual if then statements individually, they work. But if I connect them all as a nested if then it doesn't work.
