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
Hi,
I'm running MS Access (2002 SP-2)
I have a table that has the following columns in it:
Sent NBR (text) / Sent Date (date/time) / PIC (text)
It's a customer listing of our customers and which long distance carrier they have selected. Unfortunately my data also shows OLD customers that no longer own that phone number. Because of this, various phone numbers are listed numerous times, but only the Sent NBR with the most current Sent Date is the one I need to see. The others are irrelevant and need to be deleted. I'd manually delete the duplicated Rows but I have over 115,000 duplicates!!
Do you guy know of a way to eliminated the duplicates for each Sent NBR and only show me the Sent NBR's with the Most current date?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi.
I regularly import tables with many fields from a third party application into Access 2000.
These fields all have captions as well as field names (obviously!) but I give them much more meaningful "friendly" names. But to do this I must first manually delete all the captions.
Is there an easier way?
Thanks in advance.
I have 3 parcel tables. Table 1 contains the parcels of the whole county. Table 2 contains open space parcels and table 3 contains preserved farmlands. I would like to remove parcels in tables 2 and 3 from table 1. Tables 2 and 3 are subsets of table 1.
Basically I have these:
Table 1
PIN attribute1 attribute2 .....attribute6
1
2
3
.
.
.
52,000
Table 2
PIN
5
8
9
12
18
335
789
.
.
.
N
Table 3
PIN
41
51
66
3
78
903
1245
.
.
N
Note that tables 2 and 3 only contain PINs
Does anyone have a script for this problem?
I would appreciate your help on this. Thank you.

I have a table with at least 13.000.000 records. There are many duplicates records... For example
ID Name Family mobile car number chassis Register_Year
1 Roy Jalbout 9999 123456/G ASF4546 2005
2 Roy Jalbout 9999 854658/G GRK554JFJD 2009
3 Tony Elishah 1234 854658/G GRK554JFJD 2012
4 Sam Markos 5478 854658/G GRK554JFJD 2014
5 Roy Jalbout 9999 123456/G ASF4546 2005
As you can see ID Number 2,3,4 have the same car but every one bought from another so it's not duplicates
The duplicates here is the ID's number 1,5. So how to remove the duplicates. I remember you i have at least 13.000.000 records. I try to make a query to find duplicates then i make a copy of the original table and than i should make a primary key then append the data from the original table to the copy table, but here i have more than one criteria
When I made a query to find duplicates the result was 680.000 records and every one have a minimum 2 duplicates an maximum 4 duplicates so it's about 2.500.000 duplicates records at least....
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.
To keep it short and sweet, my query set up is: Employee, Team Name, and then I have the same field in the column as I do in the data and it presents pass/fail data. I have the data shown as a percent of the row so that there is a success rate shown but I want to remove the grand totals from the rows because it is obviously going to be 100% every time and it's unnecessary.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a database with an import process which normalises incoming data and appends to various tables. No issues with that. I also have a function within that process which counts the number of new entries for a summary popup when the process has completed.This works by querying the staging table, prior to the append, into a recordset and using the .RecordCount to increment the count (multiple files can be imported at once so this effectively provides a running count, per file, to give a total for the whole import)
I thought it was working fine but this morning I noticed that the count which appeared on the popup was 1 greater than the number of actual new records. I checked the source files and noticed that, for whatever reason, there was a duplicate entry in there. So I presume that's why the count was out by 1.
There's no integrity issue in the main tables as the composite primary keys ensure that duplication shouldn't be a problem. Indeed, the record in question, duplicated in the source, appears only once in the main table post-import. So not too worried about that.
However, I need the count in the popup to be accurate (it tells the users how many new entries require further investugation). And what's puzzling me is that I use DISTINCT in the query, which I would have thought should eliminate any potential dupes in the recordset and thus provide the correct count. It seems it doesn't?
Code:
Public lngNewBalancesTBI As Long ' Defined in a separate module...
-------
Dim dbs As Database
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
[code]....
Why the dupe, which is still present in the staging table, also makes it over to the recordset, even though I'm using DISTINCT?
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

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?

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.
