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'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.
I am attempting to split out a descriptive field so that each words which may exist in that particular field will be split out into seperate fields ... for example, if the violation field is populated with a four worded description of 'Assualt on Police Officer' I would like to somehow strip out the words so that 'Assualt' and 'on' and 'Police' and 'Officer' are all in seperate fields. I am not sure if this can be done using a simple query in access ... if anyone can offer any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
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:
GOAL - I would like to have one text box where I enter a sentence
txtKeywords: Access Is For Smart People Smarter Than I
I would like to create a button when clicked moves txtKeywords into another textbox [txtKeywordscombined] field and removes the spaces between the words and adds hyphens
When importing, Access creates a table location element with fields for monitoring period timezone (containing EST5EDT) and monitoring period (containing nothing). I was wondering if there is a way to access fields such as description, dns, key etc or days, hours, ie fields that are within a tag.
I now want to update one field (what I type into it is irrelevant) but if this field is updated, it means quite a few others become Not Applicable and I would like that to be populated once I updated this one field. After Update is what I am looking for.I know it is simple (but will mean entering each field name) but it would save me truckloads of time.
Hi, I am new to access. My father likes to gamble and has lists of horses he likes to check to see if they are running. He is currently using Microsoft Word and has to check each one by one. I thought if I could get the lists in to Access then it would be a lot easier. I have a field called 'Name' where I am going to put in the horses. The problem is many of the horses in his list have the country next to their name in brackets. I want to remove the brackets and their contents automatically. So if I enter 'horse (GBR)' then I want only 'horse' to be entered. How would I go about doing this. I have brackets in other fields so want this limited to the 'Name' field only. Is this possible?
I am working on a database to manage newsletter subscriptions. Each subscriber record has the option of having up to four email addresses registered to his/her name.
Is there a way to check for duplicate email addresses in the entire database? It would have to compare all values in all four fields of all records.
Any ideas on how to implement such a thing? I'm clueless...
Greetings to all,I have duplicate records in my table (i.e. there are two or more records that are identical, and I only want to keep one of them). Is there another way to delete the duplicate records other than one at a time? Assigning primary keys and appending only unique records to a new table is not an option because in some instances, I want to maintain duplicate values within a field (i.e. the desire to delete is based on more than one field)Any help would be greatly appreciatedCheers, Lori (An Access amateur)
I have a large application that was built 8 years ago and the user now wants to remove some of the data fields. Is there an efficient way to figure out what objects would be affected if we delete these columns?
I have a query which contains about 19 fields in it and some of the fields contain parameters. What I'm trying to do is to run the query using the parameters I've set, but at the same time remove fields that are empty (therefore only fields that are populated will be shown). I've tried using the 'is not null' parameter but it seems to interfere with the other parameters that I've set and as a result the query doesn't show any information. Also the field containing the 'is not null' parameter is still being shown. I'm not really sure what else to try!! Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!
I have a large table with many fields and many rows. There is no primary key. I'll call one field ParentPN, and another field ChildPN. There are many other fields as well. I want to identify all rows where BOTH the ParentPN and ChildPN occur more than once. I know how to create a query to identify duplicates of ONE field in the table, but not two. I can solve this with VBA: I will read the two fields of interest in the first row, then compare both values with every other row. If it finds another row with BOTH ParentPN and ChildPN identical with the first, that's a "hit". Then, repeat with all the other rows. I could find ways to make this run faster, but I was wondering if there are any build in functions to accomplish this. I looked at the Find Duplicates query builder, and all I see is I can select ONE field to search for dupes, not two.
I have 4 or 5 tables. Most of the fields are exactly the name but they all have at least 1 to possibly 5 or six fields that are not in the other table. Additionally there are some duplicates within the individual tables as well as across tables.
i.e.
I have a
Student Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called student that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns parent, donor, appeal, designation..... Parent Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called parent that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, donor, appeal, designation..... Donor Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called donor that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, parent, appeal, designation..... Appeal Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called appeal that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, parent, donor, designation.....
-A person can be within one of these tables more than once but with all the same information. -A person can also fall into all of these parameters so they could be on every table with the same information in addition to the missing columns,=.
Question 1 : what is the best way to dedupe and delete the individual tables (they all have account numbers) Question 2: I was thinking create a new table with all the columns available, however how do i dedupe across tables while populating the additional columns from each?
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?
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.
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>"
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?
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.
I've question reqarding modyfying tags (metadata ) in jpg files.
I've found some code which allow to read tags from jpg files through vba but only read - editing is not possible.
So my question is: vba code which allow modify tags in jpg files? {Below code for reading tags, requires to turn on following reference in vba editor: Microsoft Shell controls and Automation )
Public Function getFileMetadata(fileFolder As String, fileNm As String, _ metadataType As String) As String Dim objShell As Shell32.Shell Dim objFolder As Shell32.Folder Dim objFolderItem As Shell32.FolderItem
I need a Query that grabs the lastest "newest" data from the 5 tag.table tags generated from the query below and Display them in a result,
