Hi there I am extracting user names from e-mails in an access database.
I built the following command to do it
Left([E-Mails by Source - Test]![E-Mail],InStrRev([E-Mails by Source - Test]![E-Mail],"@"))
where [E-Mail] is the e-mail address.
It works great. But I still get the @ and the end of the name.
Any idea how I can get rid of it (other than using find and replace)?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I want to remove the first four characters from a field in a query.
The data are not always the same length, but it will always be the first four.
Example.
vmc_ml120e21/p -> ml120e21/p
Is that possible and how??
Thanks in advance.

I have a form with a unbound text field which when a user inserts text and then removes the focus from that field, the text gets inserted into a memo field. By using:
Me.[NOTES] = Now() & " " & Environ("UserName") & " - " & Text27365 & vbCrLf & Me.[NOTES]
However, I have noticed an issue with this, in respect that when the user enter text then moves to the next record, the previous entered text is still there, This could then cause this old text to get inserted into the wrong record. How can I set this field to blank once it I have moved to the next record or closed the form?
I want to remove a input box from a form that is in the service management template . If I try to remove it I get error . Is there some way I can and not get errors . It is the input for the person that is using the form

I'm using a query to concatenate data from a table into a specific HTML format. I would like, however, to find a way to remove lines of HTML when there is no data in a specific field.
Example:
If I were to create a list of available colors of a shirt like so:
<ul>
<li>[Color1]</li>
<li>[Color2]</li>
<li>[Color3]</li>
<li>[Color4]</li>
</ul>
but if there were only 3 available colors, I'd end up with this:
<ul>
<li>[Color1]</li>
<li>[Color2]</li>
<li>[Color3]</li>
<li></li>
</ul>
I need to find a way to get rid of that last vacant tag. I image there's some kind of code I could write (if x is null, clear line17, or something like that) but I wouldn't even know where to start with that.
I created a report to print out a letter that will be sent to all of our clients. In the address section of the letter there are two field for adresses...Address1 and Address2. One is for a street address and the other for a PO Box. Not all of the clients have a PO Box and for these, I do not want the blank line to show in the address. For example:
John Doe
3 Main Street
Franklin, MA 02038
The field and section of the report are set to "can shrink" and "can grow", but it still gives me a blank line in the address for the clients that do not have a PO Box. What else do I have to do?
I am very new to access less than 1 week since i started trying to build an horse racing database, i am trying to link data from 2 different sources via the horses name however one source displays this with the horses country of origin in parenthesis foe example FRANKEL(GB) and the other source displays the name as just FRANKEL, to be honest i haven't yet tried the link but guess it will fail.
I am therefore looking to get rid of the parentheses and their contents from an access table field and create another field without them.
In Excel i use the formula B1:
=TRIM(REPLACE(A1,FIND("(",A1&"("),FIND(")",A1&")")-(FIND("(",A1&"(")-1),"")) and that works fine.
I guessed the solution for Access would be newname:
TRIM(REPLACE([frhorse.NAME],FIND("(",[frhorse.NAME]&"("),FIND(")",[frhorse.NAME]&")")-(FIND("(",[frhorse.NAME]&"(")-1),""))
But this doesn't work as in returns undefined function "FIND" in expression error.
I'm not good with access at all, i'm basically after removing all workgroup protection from a database file. I have full access to the file, admin passwords etc, i'm just having serious difficulty trying to find a tutorial or any information regarding how it can be removed!

Hello,
I am totally new at this database stuff. I have been searching the archives for a couple hours and confused on how to accomplish what I need to do. I saw references to using a module but I have not used that feature yet.
I am using Access 2003. I need to remove/delete " - " space dash space, "-" and "&" from a string in one field (DGName). I'm trying to do this with a make table query
DGName
P1000
P1000 - SMLS
P1000-CA (not a type error)
UD000 - C&B
V-NET
and I want it to come out like this
DGName
P1000
P1000SMLS
P1000CA
UD000CB
V-NET
Thanks

I posted an earlier question about an Access query export to Excel putting leading apostophe (') before all data.
To remove them I thought I would use Find/Replace but the Apostophe is not recognised!
Is there a way (programmatically) to remove the first character of each data entry in each cell in a column?
thanks in advance

I have two tables: “tmptable” and “CC_CODES”
Both tables contain the same data; however the “tmptable” contains updated data. How can I compare both tables and remove all the duplicate in the tmptable, leaving only the updated data.
I will be comparing the fields “IsMandatory” from both tables
I have a field that contains serial numbers. The serial numbers are entered in difference formats. Some will have dashes, spacing and periods separating the numbers (example: 06-65432 or 06 65432 or 06.65432). I am trying to create a search field for this and the different formats makes it difficult. Is there a way to remove all separators so that all parts of the serial number are together?

Any suggestions appreciated
can someone help:
in a form I've created showing products bought, when I add a new new order it still keeps the previous order's data, how can I prevent that from happening?
cheers
This may seem like a silly question, but I can’t find the answer to it on this forum. People only say 'Remove the table links' but never how. I can’t seem to be able to remove the table links completely, so I only have one database file (no backend or frontend). I can’t seem to do it though the Table link manager or any other way. Any help?
Thanks in advance
Can this be done I dont really need the scroll bar in one of my subforms, can I remove it and prevent users from using it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a date field that shows the date like 12-Sep-05 (medium date). I have a report in which the date has to display without the placeholders (e.g., 12Sep05).
I believe what I need to do is create a field in the query to remove the placeholders but I don't know how to write the code. Will anyone be willing to show me? Any help would be appreciated.
I have a bunch of server names that have names like aaa.bbb, xxx.yyy. All i need from these server names is the name before the first "." so in the first example all I would need is aaa. I've been using this formula in excel MID(A1,1,FIND(".",A1) - 1). This works great.. Is there any way to do this in access?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
This is probably real easy to do, but ........ I have a field in Access that looks like this:
"12:12:01 PM 12/5/2005, 5:00:01 AM 12/6/2005, 7:00:25 AM 12/6/2005"
From this string, all I want is the last Date entry (mm/dd/yyyy). Thus in this result, it would be 12/6/2005. I know how to use the Right(), Left() and Mid() functions, but I do not want quotation marks included in my result.
Any help would be great ......
