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
Sean
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.
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

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.
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 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 ......
I have:
Database A with fax numbers:
Example:
- 1. John. W
- 2. Mark. Y
- 3. Sean .S
I exported to a dbf file to do some mass faxing and realised that Mark's fax number is no long in use. (error report by the fax software)
I can export the error report and save as dbf.
Is there a way to make use of this dbf to update and remove Mark's record from Database A?
Hi All
Can anyone help me with this problem?
I have an 11 million row table that lists relationships between pairs of people. There are several columns, but the relevant ones for my problem are
personA, personB, a-b_strength, b-a_strength.
because of the size of the table i'm having all sorts of problems, and i could actually cut out half of the rows, because for every row listing eg
dave, steve, 4, 5
there's another row listing the same information, but flipped round, ie
steve, dave, 5, 4
I'm sure there must be an efficient way to delete, using a query or otherwise, one of each of these pairs (it doesn't matter which). I have another column (id) that simply has a unique number for every row, ie 1,2,3->11 million, so i was thinking of something like
delete
from table t1
where exists
(select *
from table t2
where t1.personA = t2.personB
and t1.personB = t2.personA
and t1.id < t2.id)
So, this should delete every row that has a mirror version earlier in the list.(i think)
What i'm worried about though, is performance: is this going to make a new temporary table for the nested select for each new row in the outer statement? I already created a table that listed the count of friends for each unique person with a make table query, and that took 12 hours to complete. I don't mind another 12 hour query, but not a 144 hour query!
Any advice welcome - thanks! (Sorry for the longwinded post)
I have large sets of data that has labels on them. For example "25.56 lbs". I just want the raw numbers. Can someone help with what to type in the update to field of an update query to just keep the numbers? Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm stuck
I have List box called 'lstNote' base on a query 'qryNotes' with filter tied to textbox 'filter' on my main form 'frmNotes'. The filter specifies criteria for field called 'ntype' on 'qryNotes'.
I have buttons that change the filter field to specific criteria. The listbox works fine this way for filtered records.
I want to also be able to not have any filter for the 'lstNote' so that all records for 'qryNotes' are listed without criteria.
I tried, but was not successful, to set the filter criteria to a wildcard or no filter with
IIf(IsNull(Forms!frmNotes!filter),(qryNotes.nType = Like *),Forms!frmNotes!filter)
But this produces no records at all.
Any suggestions? Do I need to go down another road?
Basically I want to listbox to either show any of the filters and also all records.
I have a form imbedded in another and would like to remove the navigation bar from the form being imbedded so 2 do not show in the final product.
Is there a way to do this and if so, how would I do it.
Thanks!
