On a more general note: Has anyone ever actually finished a database - ie got to the point where no changes needed to be made? 18 months after this started, and I'm still tryng to accomodate what my manager wants!
I am running a query for an apparel manufacturing facility. In my query I have a table called 'OrderForm' which is where the orders are put in. There are more than one type of fabric that can be a part of an apparel item, so as a result, there are multiple fields pulling from the 'FabricType' table. In order to get this to work in my query I created 'SubTables' for the different fabric fields. For example, I have tblFrontfab, tblbackfab, tblsleevefab, and tblcollarfab which are just extra copies of the 'FabricType' table. The actual question is that when I want to replace characters like ,./& in the fabric field but I can't use the replace function. It says that it is too complex to calculate.
I used this notation Frontfab: Replace([tblFrontfab].[fabric],".","") and the error was that it is to complex to evaluate.
Code: INSERT INTO TB_SISTEMAS ( LOGIN, SISTEMA, PERFIL, DATA ) SELECT Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.LOGIN],255) AS LOGIN, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA, Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.PERFIL],255) AS PERFIL, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA FROM dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS WHERE (((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA)<>"ACTIVE DIRECTORY") AND ((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA)="2014-03-23"));
But Iwant to be able to use a set of data to be used in the Replace Statement, so I create a table to add each string I would like to have replaced by "nothing", and trying to make the replace query to look there in order to find what to replace.I also created a table where I will list the systems that I dont want in the select, so I removed the "ACTIVE DIRECTORY" and replaced by the colum that have the list of system I dont want listed.This is the result:
Code: INSERT INTO TB_SISTEMAS ( LOGIN, SISTEMA, PERFIL, DATA ) SELECT Replace((Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.LOGIN],255)),[PREFIXOS_E_SUFIXOS]![Valor],"") AS LOGIN, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA, Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.PERFIL],255) AS PERFIL, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA FROM dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS WHERE (((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA)<>[SISTEMAS_EXCLUIDOS]![Sistema]) AND ((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA)="2014-03-23"));
The thin is that this keeps asking me to enter the parameter value for "PREFIXOS_E_SUFIXOS!Valor" and for "SISTEMAS_EXCLUIDOS!Sistema"
I'm currently migrating a lot of Excel processing to Access and really enjoying the transition. I am, however, having big problems with the Replace function in Access.....
In Excel I use a macro to relace anything in a cell contents that follows a space with nothing......i.e. replace " *" with ""
The fields that i need to do this on do vary in length- they are product descriptors.....e.g
abcdefg 123456 xzy 987
The replace feature (ctrl + h) in table view will do this correctly if "any part of cell" is specified in "match" selection but I cannot seem to replicate this in a query.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions here. I thought about exporting the fields in the columns to Excel and doing the replace there, but I can't get it to work. Similarly I tried writing some VBA for this, but again no joy!
I'm trying to help someone with some text functions in Access, and I have used the Replace function to strip out spaces in a postcode. I created a dummy database in Access 2003 but in 2000 format since she is still on Access 2000. However, she is getting the above message. Incidentally, I don't get the message when I run it in Access 2000.
She has checked her references and has no missing ones. She has:
Visual Basic for Applications Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library OLE Automation Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library
I have attached the DB - I'd be really grateful if someone could try opening it in Access 2000 to see if they get the same error.
I am trying to use the string value from a form control as the criteria for a query. I first need to replace the "," in the string with "AND".
So far I have a module using the Replace function, but it doesn't seem to be working. I am not sure I can reference the string inside the form control directly....if I can, I might have a syntax error.
Here is my code so far:
Dim result As String result = Replace("Forms!Processing!Dataset_Acreage_Query", ",", "AND")
I am not experienced and having trouble finding the search terms to answer this question.
The company I work for is consolidating regional server space onto a single server. I have relinked all of my tables, but my ~180 queries are still pointing to the old server.
My question: Is there a script or other process that can be executed that will search through all my queries within the database to find the string "dbo_tbl" and replace with "dbo_vwtbl"? I would very much like to avoid taking each individual query to a notepad...
Is there a copy and replace existing records function in access?
I.e. I would want to copy records from one table to another (with same structure) and replace similar records with in original table in the new records (which have minor ammendments made).
My company recently upgraded our MS Office from 2007 to 2010 (except for Access).
Previously, when I had Access 2007 and Outlook 2007, I had a process that generated 50+ dynamic emails from an Outlook template file (.oft).
The code would loop through a listbox and replace the template's default text to a string of text specific to the selection in the listbox by utilizing the Replace() function on the MailItem .HTMLBody.
Since the upgrade to Outlook 2010, the code is able to run, however, the Replace() function is no longer working; Instead, each email that is generated maintains the template's default text.
The only thing that is not working is the Replace() function, all other aspects of the code work fine.
I've provided a simplified version of the code below:
Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application Dim objMailMessage As MailItem Dim stBody As String Set myOlApp = Outlook.Application Set objMailMessage = myOlApp.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:UsersDesktop emplate.oft")
[Code] .....
I've recreated the template file in Outlook 2010, thinking that the template created with Outlook 2007 would be the culprit, but to no avail.
What could have changed from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2010 that would render my previously valid code ineffective?
Are there certain references I need to enable in both Access and Outlook to allow VBA in Access modify the content in an Outlook email?
Need a little bit of help, I have a report I pull out of an inhouse system with sales, shortages etc. I want to use a query to alter the formatting slightly and append it in to a different table. Most of this i can do fine, except for one thing.
Two of the sales fields in my report I'm uploading come out in the following text format: 19.0PC 27.0PC 45.0PC etc...
I need to change this before appending as its going in to a number field, all i need to do is lose the PC, e.g. 19.0 27.0 45.0 etc...
I can do this manually, it's a simple find and replace in excel before uploading, gowever I want to automate this as much as possible. Looking around I'm pretty sure it can be done in a query using the REPLACE function but I'm unsure on the formats to use.
The only other thing is once its converted even though it will visually be a numbe (e.g. 45.0) it will still technically be a text field, will this prove a problem on the appending?
Hi, i have a table of data, with a user name, and a task.

I have a simple crosstab query, which is designed to give a monthly total (numeric) and a yearly total for the value of orders placed by a number of customers.
The query is based on another query which simply extracts order records for a particular year. For some customers, certain months will be blank as there were no orders placed. I would like to use the crosstab query on a report, and I would like to replace the blanks with zeros. I have searched for examples of query expressions using the nz function and attempted to apply some. I have, however, had no success in converting the blank monthly totals to zeros.
Can anyone help me achieve this?
The query is as follows :
TRANSFORM Sum(AmountQueryLastYear.SumOfAmount) AS SumOfSumOfAmount SELECT AmountQueryLastYear.DeliveryName, Sum(AmountQueryLastYear.SumOfAmount) AS [Total Of SumOfAmount] FROM AmountQueryLastYear GROUP BY AmountQueryLastYear.DeliveryName PIVOT Format([ShipmentDate],"mmm") In ("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec");
ne1 help me with a find and replace query or macro. What I'm trying to do is shorten the path to external PDF files after I inport them into field TxtPDFPath.

We have a field of 7m records of varying length, some of which are numbers, some just letters, some alphanumeric, and most which include a dash, space or some sort of punctuation mark.
We need to replace all letters with "L", then replace all digits with "@".
We can replace characters individually using this update query:
Replace([Ref Digit Or Letter],"A","L")
But would like to use wildcard searches to resolve this, something like (these don't work!)...
Replace([Ref Digit Or Letter],"A-Z","L") Replace([Ref Digit Or Letter],"LIKE [*A-Z*]","L")
I've made a simple form to Login/Logout with radio buttons but the buttons only allow me to push a number as a value, in my case 1 or 2 for Login or Logout.
How would I make an update query to change those numbers to the equivalent text? Or is that not possible in the same field because that is 2 different data types?
