Replace Multiple Parts Of A String?
Aug 8, 2007
Hi, can anyone help me do this...
In my products table I have fields such as Bulletpoint1, Bulletpoint2, MainDescription etc.
Each holds part of the product description
In a seperate table I have my description templates with placeholders for the bulletpoints and maindescription. for example....
<ul><li><!-- Bulletpoint1 --></li><li><!-- Bulletpoint2 --><li></ul>
Now, for each record I want to grab the template and replace the placeholders with the real text.
I've got as far as putting this in a query...
Expr1: Replace([DescTemplates]![TemplateData], "<!-- Bulletpoint1 -->", [Products]![Bulletpoint1])
That does the job nicely or the first bulletpoint but where from there? There must be a neater way than having a load of query columns each updating the last. ie.
Expr2: Replace([Expr1], "<--Bulletpoint2 -->", ...
Expr3: Replace([Expr2],...
Or is that the simplest way of doing it?
Cheers!

Hi,
I am trying to delete a part of a string but not all of it.
For example; American Express Inc. I would like to delete only the "Inc.", but leave "American Express".
How is this done?
Many Thanks,

Here are the 2 tables that I am working with:
Account
Account
0041980041
0051670051
0052330052
0053490053
Conversion
Account Conversion
0041 10000151
0051 10000152
0052 10000153
0053 100001524
I need to update the Account table using the Conversion table by replacing the first 4 digits in the Account table with the Conversion value. For example, the first record should be updated from 0041980041 to 10000151980041.

I'm familiar with writing a replace query to replace characters or strings but what I'm trying to do this time is a bit unique to me. I have a string of numbers that will either be 8 or 9 digits in length. The first 1 or 2 digits will be the State code (1-50 hence the discrepancy in number of total digits), then a 2 digit agency code, then the last 5 digits are a producer code. What I need to do is change the 2 digits for the agency part both to 0. So basically characters 6 and 7 if you're counting from the right. To me it feels like I'm trying to do it backwards so I'm having a hard time writing it.

I sometimes get a last name with two names not connected by a dash (i.e. Smith-Jones), instead it is entered as "Smith Jones". When I get it from Excel into Access is there a way to replace the space with an underscore in Access? I know I can do it in Excel, but I need that Excel file the way it is for other purposes.

I need to loop through text files and replace the new lines following the from, to, copy and subject fields with tabs and place the associated text on the same line as the from, to, copy and subject fields.
I start out with this. See below.
From:
ABC COrp@abc.com
To:
XYZ Inc.@xyz.com
Copy:
Me@abc.com; Myself@abc.com; Irene@xyz.com
Subject:
NOthing much
I need it to be like this.
From:ABC COrp@abc.com
To:XYZ Inc.@xyz.com
Copy:Me@abc.com; Myself@abc.com; Irene@xyz.com
Subject:NOthing much
How can I do this in access?

I have a list of consumables;
Syringe 50ml
Syringe 20ml
Syringe 5ml
Syringe Cap
White Needle
I want to remove only the number and the ml part from the list, so I would end up with;
Syringe
Syringe
Syringe
Syringe Cap
White Needle
If I use
PHP Code:
Replace([DrugNameVial],"50ml","")Â
I get the desired result for the 50ml syringe size.
I have tried every possible combination of "**ml", "##ml", "Like [0-9]ml all with no success.
How this can be resolved without having to individual enter each syringe size "5ml", "20ml" etc
I can't even just take the text from the right till the first space as this would lead to problems with other consumables in the list.

Hi,
I am currently working on a project where i need to try and compare a list of organisation names held by my organisation and another organisation (around 20000 records each).
To take into account differences in how the organisation names may have been entered I'm wanting to strip out things like ltd, limited, company, co, &, and , and so on. I've tried using IIf and replace which works ok if the organisation name only contains one of the substrings I want to replace but not if contains more than one.
How do i go about doing multiple replaces in the same string?

My database has a street address field that I would like find and replace a handful of certain strings with other strings. For example I would like to see:
Sunset Point = Sunset Pt
Main = Main
Prospect = Prospect
Caminito Paseo = Camto Paseo
Camino Litoral = Cam Litoral
I would like to perform something exactly like Find and Replace but to multiple strings in ONE function or query to update.
Is this possible? I looked at fReplace() but not sure where to put this.
Thank you.

I have this working query:
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"

Can anyone help?
Have searched the net with no luck. This is my problem.
I am trying to use a multiple INSERT string to create records in a table, from a VB application and using ADO to do it.
If I send the single INSERT it works fine, but if I try to send more than one in the same string I get a 'MISSING SEMI COLON AT END OF STATEMENT' error.
I have tried putting one at the end of each statement, then just at the end of the INSERT statements string, but still get this error.
Can Access actually handle more than one SQL instruction at a time?
Thanks for any help.

Hey guys-
I have 2 tables- and need to find the record matches between them via their product code. Table 1 has the code as follows (and is considered 'the Master List')-
xxx-xx-xxx Where x is an integer.
Table 2 has split the 3 sections of the code out to 3 individual fields, like this-
Field1 Field2 Field3
xxx xx xxx
I need a query that will combine the 3 fields in table 2 to the same format as Table1 so that I can find the matches between them. I know this is a basic question, but I'm a learning newbie. How would I write that in a query? I don't think I want to write the format to the table- just include it in the query somehow...
Thanks!

I have a field in our database with five distinct strings, separated by a delimited (a slash or "/").
I've been able to successfully write the formula to parse the first field:
ARL: Left$([pipeline]![Short Description],InStr(1,[pipeline]![Short Description],"/")-1)
The second field:
BRANCHMGR: Mid(Left([pipeline]![Short Description],InStr(InStr(1,[pipeline]![Short Description],"/")+1,[pipeline]![Short Description],"/")-1),InStr(1,[pipeline]![Short Description],"/")+1)
and the last field:
DATE: Mid$([pipeline]![Short Description],InStrRev([pipeline]![Short Description],"/")+1)
how to get the third and fourth strings parsed. I know its going to include some nested InStr or InStrRev commands -- just having trouble figuring out the structure. Could potential need a LEN command as well.
Typical field might look like this:
"Name1/Name2/Description/Update/Date"

I am trying to write a query that selects multiple rows of a table and puts those into a single string with a comma delimiter.
I want it to select all rows after a specific word is found in the row above and then stop selecting when another specific word below the last row is found.
Example below: >>>
The data i am using is very unorganised and has not headers, so I have to try and specific lines in order to allocate them to a specific user.
Sample Data:
IDFullContent
459Authorized Privileges:
460ACNT ALLSPOOL ALTPRI AUDIT BUGCHK BYPASS
461CMEXEC CMKRNL DIAGNOSE DOWNGRADE EXQUOTA GROUP

464PRMMBX PSWAPM READALL SECURITY SETPRV SHARE

466UPGRADE VOLPRO WORLD
467Default Privileges:
Output Expected:

The delimiter can be anything.

I have a Table of Special instructions. Each type of a Yes or No Text Box. There are 13 items in this table along with the ID key.
Each Field has a Special Description. I used the Y/N format for ease of use for user input to simply select the applicable options.
However, I need the text description to display on the printed report, which is not the problem.
So i created a separate text box for each item that simply says; If True, "Description", else blank. And named each one sp1...sp14.
So now, I want to take these text boxes with the proper descriptions and string them together.
My formula is: =Trim([sp1])&" "&([sp2]) etc.
This does produce the proper text results, however, and oddly enough, each item displays on its own line rather than in a string.
I get:
SP1
SP1
Instead of the desired result of SP1 SP2
This seems to simple, and probably has to do with the yes/no format. I've tried with and without (), and using + instead of &, and to troubleshoot, I eliminated the " ". No luck. Everything is coming back as a single column.

From a dropdown field in the form it's currently possible to choose a geographical region for which to generate a report. The data populating this dropdown is pulled in from a Value List as follows:
" ";"*";1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;EU;WD
I now need the ability to choose various different regions simultaneously which is not possible with the current method. I've looked into a nested continuous form and a multi-select combo box or list box, but none of these are as user friendly as my preferred method.
What I would like is 15 checkboxes plus a 16th to select/unselect all. When any of these checkboxes is checked, I need to create something like a dynamic value string or temporary table to hold the list of chosen regions until the generate button is clicked at which point the data is used to generate the report and cleared. I also need a piece of code to check/uncheck all the boxes.

Been a while since I put hands on access. Working with a very simple database.
Working with 1 table, 1 form, 1 query.
Query has several fields. Field of interest contains names of counties.
In query design view I can type, "CountyA" Or "CountyB" or "CountyC" in the criteria and the desired results are returned.
On form I've created a text box and an open report button. The report I'm trying to open uses the query as the data source. I reference the text box on the form as the criteria for the query as follows:
[Forms]![frm_LMIBasicReport]![txtCounties][Forms]![frm_LMIBasicReport]![txtCounties]
If I enter the the name of a single county into the form it executes perfectly. If I try to enter multiple counties it fails. This is true whether I just enter the county names or replicate the exact criteria string I use in the source query. For example
CountyA works and returns desired values for County A
CountyA Or CountyB or CountyC fails. The report opens but no records are returned
"CountyA" Or "CountyB" or "CountyC" = exactly how it is entered in the query if I'm not using the form opens report but no records are returned
How can I pass multiple values from a single text box to the query.

I have a table where I want to break longer strings into three-character strings.
So... for example the data item "Forest," I'd like to generate "FOR" "ORE" "RES" "EST" and write all four to another table, allowing for duplication. Alternately, we could make a list and just count the unique 3-character strings. The end goal here is to measure the frequency of 3-character strings across a set of data.
how to do this with an Access query?

I have to join multiple values into a string for summarizing data on reports and exports. This process in vba is taking up to 10 minutes to process and will get worse as the size of these reports grow.
My method so far is to query the individual items into a recordset, loop through the values, adding them to the string then return the string in the query.
Here is an example:
Public Function SO_Description(intSO As Integer) As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQLSelect As String
SO_Description = "Profiles: "
Set db = CurrentDb
[Code] ....

I'm using Access 2007.
So far I have a Multi Select enabled list on which the user selects the serial numbers they want. They then click the "Report" button which will trigger a query based on the selected serial numbers to create a report on those serial numbers.
I have the code for the multi-select list working already. It creates a string of comma separated values that are the serial numbers which are selected in the list. Somehow I need to pass this string to my query so it can use it as a filter.
Here is some of my code:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim oItem As Variant
Dim bFound As Boolean
[Code] ....
Here's my current query in SQL:
Then finally how to I get the query to execute and create a report based on all of this?

Hello!
Simple one for most, but I have having problems with a Database I am setting up
The database controls stock movement (i.e. inwards stock and outwards stock)
I have set up a Parts Inwards table with the following fields:
Part Number (linked)
Qty In
Stock Location
And I have set up a Parts Out bound with the following fields:
Part Number (linked)
Qty Out
Stock Location
Now for the problem, when I run a query to tell me how many parts I have left in the stock room i.e. Qty In - Qty Out, it duplicates the data in the Qty In.
I assume its got something to do with the fact that I have multiple Qty out’s for a single Qty In entry…hope this make sense?
Can someone help?

In a field “NAME” I have “Adam Smith”.
From this field I want in a QBE window (not in VB) to make two new fields “FIRST NAME” “Adam” and “LAST NAME” “Smith”.
In Excel there are the functions FIND and SEARCH with which I take the number of the gap “ ” (5) between Adam and Smith and with the functions LEN, RIGHTS and LEFTS I have a result.
What could I do in Access 2003?

Hello All,
I am new to this forum :) and learning Access :confused: .
The Database
Tables:
Employees
Products
ExpectedQuantity
PartQTY
Parts
Most of the products are similar so they have the same parts for the majority. However they do not all have the same parts. So I created a parts table that contains all the parts needed for any product. Now each Product also can contain multiples of one part (such as wheels) where I would want to list the Product and the parts list and quantity needed of those individual parts for that product. Hence the PartQTY table.
Now what I want to be able to do, is go into a form where each record is one of the products. A subform (datasheet view) for that product that shows all the parts and the quantity of each part that make up the product. Such as 4
wheels, 5 screws, etc for Product A.
I would like there to be an ExpectedQauntity field in the main form which once you found the product you can enter in the number of that product expected. Then this Qauntity would be multiplied by the qauntity of each part required (in the datasheet subform a column with =[expectedQTY]*[PartQTY]) and list next to each part the number needed to order. So if for product A the expected quantity is 50 I would have to order 200 wheels and 250 screws for that product.
A report would Sum each part qauntity after the expectedqauntity has been entered for each product. So I could print a report that tells me how many of each part we need to order based on the expected qauntity of all the products.
I think I am complicating things and would like a fresh mind to assist me in which direction to go.
Thank You,
Adam

I know how to Grab the Right and left Characters and grab the mid characters from a field value
ex: Right([fieldName],4)
My question is how to I grab characters based on a space
Say for instance "Fred Smith" or a name field. There are going to be varing lengths of last names...but the format is the same...First Name, Space, Last Name....
QUESTIONS:
How do I search the string, count to the space, then take all characters after the Space?
One step further how would I grab the middle name in this example?
"Fred M Smith"
