Reports :: Convert Hyperlink (URL) To Text

Apr 25, 2013

I have a report where I need to display a box with the following:

="text text text " & url &" text text text"

I need the URL to be bolded, but not underlined or blue. The URL is a variable, so I'm building the text using a string. It looks like the only way to set part of the field to bold is to make it rich text and add html bolding instructions, but that converts the url to a hyperlink. I don't want it to be a hyperlink, just text.

Tables :: Convert Hyperlink To Text - Display Path?

Mar 9, 2013

I'm using access 2007. I have a table with 2 fields:

phtolink - hyperlink
phtopath - text

I am loading the table with existing data from a spreadsheet. The hyperlink field imported correctly into phtolink.

Now I need to convert the hyperlink field to a text field that displays the path to the photo referenced by the hyperlink.

I updated the text field with the hyperlink field but it didn't display the hidden part of the hyperlink.

How do I convert a hyperlink to display the path in a text field?

Reports :: Hyperlink In Rich Text Field On Report

Dec 3, 2014

I am generating a report that needs to have a hyperlink in part of one of the fields. Prior to saving the field to the database I do a bit of VBA coding on it and add some HTML. The result is this in the field:

"There are two ways to book with your preferred rate: <br>

1. <b><a href="http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/reservations/index.jhtml?hotel=ABGVA&corporateCode=12345">Click Here</a></b>! <br>

2. Call us directly or at 1-800-Hampton and use your Corporate ID 12345."

It works beautifully if you paste it into a web page but in the Access report, Access applies the Bold but just ignores the hyperlink.

This is Access 2013 with MS SQL Server 2008 backend. Everything I have read suggests that this should work and is supported. Is there some trick I'm missing?

Modules & VBA :: Bulk Update Of Hyperlink Text To Display Not Hyperlink

i have thousands of data records with hyperlinks that are correct. Each data record shows the actual link (google.com, foxnews.com, espn.com, etc.). However, i want to change all of the records to just say "link" instead of saying espn.com, etc. How can i do this automatically without having to manually right click, edit, and changing the text to display?

Queries :: Convert String Back To Hyperlink In Access Query From SQL Table?

Nov 10, 2014

I am in the process of building a new database in SQL to replace my MS Access database. However, I will continue to use the Access forms, queries, and reports. The new tables will house much of the same data. In multiple tables I have hyperlinks that were created and added in the original Access tables. To import these hyperlinks into the new SQL tables I have converted them to 'Long Text' before exporting, thus changing them into strings.

For example:

Hyperlink - Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) has been changed to:

Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010)#ServernameServerfolderDocumentationRea dy to GoOutlook TemplatesEmail - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010).oft#

The obvious issue that I am running into is that after the SQL database table has been linked to the Access database it still displays the entire string when I open the table. The form has a textbox and search button that is used as a search function. This runs a query that returns all "search results" for the desired information. Is there a way that the query can convert the string back into a hyperlink so that the query displays just Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) as a hyperlink and not the entire string?

Generating Hyperlink From Text In Access

Mar 3, 2007

I have a table with one field set as a hyperlink. I have to generate the hyperlink according to what else is going on in the record, I do this by assembling a text string which I can write to a text field in the same record. I have no problem doing this but when I try to copy that string into the Hyperlink field I get type mismatch. Incidentally if I put two text boxes on a form and bind one to the text and one to the hyperlink field the I can 'cut and paste' it OK so how come I can't do it with Access basic?

Dim stGunlib As String
Dim stGunlib2 As String
stGunlib2 = [Stock number]
stGunlib = "www.shooting.uk.com/Gunlibrary/" + stGunlib2 + ".jpg"
[Link] = stGunlib
[Picture] = stGunlib ([Picture] is a hyperlink field) it goes wrong here


I am using Access 2002

Thanks Dennis

Modules & VBA :: Send Text As Hyperlink

Jul 26, 2014

Since my old DB had hyperlink (web pages) either starting with http:// or not, and the users were complaining that they couldn't easily edit the field, I converted all the fields to text. Then I tried the following code on doubleclick:

Dim WebLink As String
If Me.WebPage2 <> "http//" & "*" Then
WebLink = "Http://" & Me.WebPage2
Else
WebLink = Me.WebPage2
End If
Debug.Print WebLink
Application.FollowHyperlink WebLink, , True

The above works fine if there is no http:// but if there is one already in the text, then I get run time error 5 that it cannot locate the page. On checking what is happening, the code is adding http:// again even if it already there.

General :: Copying Hyperlink As Text

Mar 15, 2013

I need to get an email address from a field and place it onto another form.. HOWEVER I dont want it as a hyperlink, nor do I want the mailto blah blah coming over.. I just want the email address as TEXT.In the application the user opens the email form by clicking an icon on an invoice screen, this will allow them to automatically email to the client.. Once they open the email screen they naturally see an arrangement of other boxes where they can enter subject, email description etc..

At the same time there are two boxes, the "To" box and the"From" box... I want these boxes to be auto updated with the email address (to save time). When the user clicks the icon on the invoice screen it automatically copies and displays the email address of the client in the "To" box on the invoice.. The problem I am having is that it is displaying as useless information which is associated with the hyperlink.The email address comes from a field that has already previously been associated as a hyperlink, and it HAS to come from this field, I have no way around it.... All of this information is coming from an address book section from a field that is a hyperlink field.. If it was a txt field then I would not be having this problem.

As I already have various forms open displaying information I am able to used simple code to fill in various bits of info to save time... Because of this I am using simply code to copy the email address from one form to another:

Forms![Email]![To] = Forms![AddressBook]![Email]

Obviously the above code is simple and works for 90% of this type of approach, however there must be some other code that I need to use to first translate the email address to text...

In the end I don't care what I have to do as long as it works.. Remember though that the original field is a hyperlink field and must remain so, I cannot simply convert that to txt..

Queries :: Changing Text To Hyperlink In Query

May 7, 2014

I was trying to see if there is a way to convert text to a hyperlink in a query.

Background : I'm pulling information from a lotus notes database using an OBDC connection and storing it into an access database and using that to upload to a sharepoint site. While we are converting over to a sharepoint site, I was trying to make it easy to get back to the original site for each document to check the work.

One of my columns in the query looks like this:

Code:
Notes Link: "notes://pncpgha66/852570CE0056FEF3/0BFCC83A5C11D7C3852576CD0072ED3E/" & [NoteUNID]

I don't see a way to convert that whole part to a hyperlink though. Like I could with a date and text. Cdate().

Queries :: Update Hyperlink Display Text

Nov 7, 2014

So I have a table with 2 fields.The first field has the addresses to multiple hyperlink paths to folders on my computer.In this field the display text matches the hyperlink paths.In the second field I have the desired display text for field 1.I have tried using an update query to either:

1) Change the display texts of field 1 to match field 2 while preserving the hyperlink path
2) Add the hyperlink path from field 1 to field 2 without altering the display name.

I cannot get either one to work. Upon updating field 1, I lose the path, and upon updating field 2, I lose the name.

Modules & VBA :: Setting Hyperlink To Open Different Forms / Reports Dynamically?

Oct 18, 2014

I am trying to add a feature in my database dashboard that shows a list of hyperlinks that are the most frequently used forms and reports based upon the user. I can figure out how to capture the event each time the form or report is opened and update a record to increase the count, and build a recordset that will query the table filtering by user and order by frequency...

However, I am stuck on building the hyperlinks that will point to the correct form or reports dynamically.

Specifically, I am not able to update the subaddress using VBA. I get an error that the hyperlink cannot follow to the new form...

Here is my code:

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strUser As String
Dim strApp As String
strUser = Environ("username")
strApp = "frmTest1"
Me.txtUser = strUser
Me.txtLink3 = strApp
Me.txtLink1 = strApp
Me.hypTest.Hyperlink.SubAddress = strApp
End Sub

Convert Text To Number

Aug 2, 2005

I have a table with the following fields:
Tool Text
Tool_ID Text
Description Text

The Tool_ID field holds a number if the tool provides a tool id. However, if the tool doesn't provide a tool id, the text "No tool ID given" is automatically placed into the field. Therefore, it needs to remain a text field for this reason and others that are too long to go into.
Anyway, I created a query that pulls only one specific tool which always provides a tool ID. Therefore, the results of my query will always have a number in the text field "Tool_ID".

Question: Is there a way to convert the text field to a number field within the query?

Thanks in advance!

Need To Convert Weekday To Text

Oct 22, 2005

I used the format text box in my query design to generate weekdays as text from my date field. It works great. However, I was hoping to produce some graphs where I could use those weekdays as 7 categories to plot against some other data. Now I am finding that to be a problem as the "real" format is a date and when I try to change the format in excel it creates this random number. Any suggestions on how to get around this problem. Thanks a bunch.

Convert Text To Date

Aug 16, 2006

Morning All,

In a table I have a text field (Meeting Date) which contains the date in the format: "Wednesday 22 March 2006"

How do I convert this to a date of format dd/mm/yyyy?

I have created another field of type date called MDate, in the same table, and have tried experimenting with an update query.

CDate(Left([Meeting Date],4) & "/" & Mid([Meeting Date],5,2) & "/" & Right([Meeting Date],2))

But this has not worked. (If someone could explain the significance of the numbers in the function that would be helpful also - Access help did not provide this information)

Convert Text To Date

Aug 10, 2007

Hi, I get the user input from a text box in a form, then i use it in the query.

in my query i used the DateDiff function in the expression. should I convert the data type from string (the user input from the text box) to date type first before using the DateDiff function?

in the SQL view, I wrote the following, but it says incorrect:

SELECT availability.machineName,
(DateDiff("d",CDate(Forms!frmMain!txtStartDate),CDate(Forms!frm Main!txtEndDate))+1)*24 AS totalMonthlyHours, availability.type
FROM availability
WHERE (availability.date)>=CDate(Forms!frmMain!txtStartDate) And (availability.date)<=CDate(forms!frmMain!txtEndDate)
GROUP BY availability.machineName, availability.type;

Thanks in advance.

Convert Numeric Value To Text

Mar 11, 2008

Im trying to construct a query which returns a field that has 21 different types of values.

Is there a way to assign a text value to each numeric value when the results are displayed?

Eg: 21 = "Local Sales", 22 = "National Sales", 23 = "International Sales".. and so on.

Ive looked at the Choose and IIF functions but I cant seem to work it out

..............

Anouther little problem, which should be basic. I want to exclude certain records with values such as 31 and 41 and 42.

When i type <> 31 or <> 41 <> 42 in the criteria they are all still displayed. Although when I type one of those criteria by themselves they ARE EXCLUDED. Is there something dumb I am missing here??

thanks in advance.

How To Convert From Currency To Text.

May 26, 2005

I am sure it must be very simple but I can't find the command!

I need to convert a currency value to a text value for use in a combined string, say £123.00, to the text string "£123.00".

Basically I want one of the reports to say "£123.00 each less x% discount".

Currently I am using :

[Door Price] & " each less " & [Discount] & "% discount"

which will display "123 each less x% discount"

I could add the £ sign in code but if I add the .00 as well I will then have problems with a price of say £123.50!

Surely there must be a simple command that does this for me?

Cheers!
