I use several fields to capture a name: LName, FName, MI and Suffix.
In a report I combine the fields.
=[LName] & " " & [Suffix] & ", " & [FName] & " " & [MI]
This works fine if there is a suffix; however, without a suffix I have an extra space.
What is the "work around" to eliminate the space.
Currently I have five separate reports setup in Access 2010 (that are running off of five separate queries). Since they have different data/fields, I was unable to combine into one query & one report.
However, I print each to PDF and then combine using Acrobat Pro. Is there a way to combine in VBA and not have to do the step using Acrobat Pro?Function PrintReports()
DoCmd.OpenReport "Program_Summary_1", acViewPreview
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Program_Summary_1", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", "C:DesktopPrintFiles" & "Program_Summary_1" & ".pdf", False
DoCmd.Close acReport, "Program_Summary_1"
DoCmd.OpenReport "Program_Summary_2, acViewPreview

I have a problem that is Vista related. My business partner has just purchased a laptop with Vista and one of the problem areas is SendKeys. I don't have Vista and he is away at the moment so we only have part time communication so I am trying a few solutions in the hope of getting the problem fixed.
He is getting a message along the line of.....Access needs to be reinstalled because SendKeys is not available.....he does not has his MSOffice with him so that can't be tried at the moment, although everything else is working OK.
There are a few macros involved but I have converted then into VB Module and that works OK for me on XP, although it does not carry out all instructions but it basically works. But it will be a few days before he can try what I have sent him.
Note: I just notice that my conversion to VB module is not doing the SendKeys. No messages etc it is if the section covering SendKeys was not there. The example below was done with XP and macro. The SendKeys and the various other actions are all in the module. Edit...All is OK....my conversion of the macros to a module worked:D
So I would like to try another possible solution and that being to avoid SendKeys.
The situation involves a file note entry system. Each file note creates a different record and in each record there is a memo field with the file note that was made and of course time and date.
There is another table that holds one record for each person that has a file note made. Whether one file note is made or a 100 file notes there is only record.......The record is created when the first file note is made and the table will not accept duplicates on the persons ID number.
When a file note is made the system then opens the record in the other table and adds with SendKeys to the entry in the memo field on the "one record only table"
A form opened on the "one record" looks like this and as you can see the contents of the memo field from the "many records" have been combined into one. Can I do this without using SendKeys

I am have trouble eliminating the $0.00 balances in a query. From what I can figure out is that even though the Balance appears as $0.00 in reality it could be anywhere from $0.0012 to $0.009 or something like that.
What I am trying to do re reconcile the Balance field. If the balance reads $0.00 I want it out of the query. Then I would like to find all the balances that appear to be $0.01 to a negative $0.01.
It seem that no matter what is use as critiera I still can't what I want.
Any ideas?
What forumla could I use in a report field to remove all characters before the first space in a text field e.g.
32A Bank Street --> Bank Street
19 Alder Street --> Alder Street
I've tried =Right([JLADD1],Len([JLADD1])-2) but this obviously doesn't work for the first example above.
The first report example is what I get when I start on the main form and select an organization, run the report, opens report - BIG SPACE between the details and my footer section which holds a subform.
The second report is what I need it to look like, what's strange to me is I get the report correctly when I just run the report (I don't pass the organization into the report from the main form)
I tried changing the background color of the detail section and the footer section to figure out where my problem is but the space just stays white.
I have a report which contains 3 subreports. Now I require to do the following:
1. Hide the subreport if there is no data.
2. Remove the Blank space created when the data in subreport is null.
I tried to Set Can Grow and Can Shrink to Yes but still the blank space was not removed.
When I reduced the height of the subreports in the design view the blank space was reduced but it was still there.
What can be done so that the complete report auto adjusts itself if any sub-report is null? Something like the whole page auto fits itself in the available space?
The option of reducing the size of sub report in design view to minimum is there but it makes the report very un-handy for future reference.
I have a report with an embedded subreport. It's set up in two columns, ordered across then down.
My problem is when column 1, row 1 section is taller than column 2, row 1 section. It creates a lot of extra white space as I fill in the rest of the report. Is there a way to eliminate that space or am I stuck?
Hi!
Is it possible for me to alias the fldGroup to Function Group?
How do you alias a field name to a name that contain a space?
Please advise.

Hi!
I have a field that has to be 20 Characters long. Most of the time data for this field is less than 20 characters, so the remaining has to be filled with spaces to make it 20. e.g. if there is a record xyz1234567, then the rest of the record should have 10 spaces like xyz1234567ssssssssss, meaning if i click on this record then the cursor should not blink after 7 but after the spaces. Hope I am making sense.
Thanks for any input.
Is there a way in a masked date field(mm/dd/yyyy) that when clicking anywhere in the field that the cursor can be at the beginning of the field? For instance if I were to click in the position of the dd can I get the cursor to be at the first m.
Thanks for any help.

In my Dbase, I have a table with a text field. Field name is Country
There are over 5000 records in the table and many of these in the Country field start with a space. I would like to get rid of this space as to ensure that all text starts with a character, rather than a space.
How can I achieve this.
I have a query that I export to a text file with fixed width settings.
For one particular field that had only been one character and 5 spaces I used PGM: " " & [ProgramCode] for my field. The recipient of the export file requires that this field be 6 spaces long and leading spaces fill in any unused field.
Now, one of the records for this field will be 2 character so the way it is now will cut off the leading character. How can I write this to add leading spaces until it reaches 6?
Not = " " And InStr(1,"seat_person"," ") <> 0
I have a field into which I wish to place a person's name and I want to ensure that the field has a space in it but is not a blank field,
so
all blank - illegal
"Bob" - Illegal
"Bob Smith" - legal
the edit at the top is my attempt to code it but it isn't working.
I want to be but to save a space in a field on a table but every time I do it appears to be a NULL and therefore fails a validation rule that I wish to preserve.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI like to store SQL code as a memo field in a table. I then use a form to collect selection criteria from the user, and this is used to create a 'WHERE' clause which is then appended to the stored SQL. This has always worked, but in one recent case the SQL failed. On examination I discovered that although the SQL is correctly stored in the memo field, when Access retrieves the code it inserts a space character in the middle of one of the words, thereby of course creating an invalid SQL string. It's easy to work around it, but why this happens? A bug in Access?

I'm trying to set up an import of an Excel file. One field in Excel, "Sales Tax" has a lead space, so " Sales Tax" is its Excel name. Since I can't name a field in Access starting with a space, the only way I know to import properly is to manually remove the space from the Excel file. While this isn't actually that difficult, I'm trying to avoid this manual step if possible.

example :

Only workaround I found so far is to import de numbers into a text field in a temp table, do an update query to remove the spaces and then transfert the data into the real table that has a numeric field.
Hi all-
Does anyone know how to create a text box inside of a label box in a report? I need to create a report that mirrors a memo format. In the report, I need to type a label ("Total score is __ out of __.") where the __ spaces are calculatedtext boxes based on a table. Thanks.
Hi,
Hope someone can assist me with this question:
Let's say I have a Table with many Product IDs records..
Product ID (Number)
Hyperlink Field (with a Hyperlink to an external Excel file)
What I would like to do is to create a Hyperlink that not only will it open the Excel file but it will also search and select the Product ID (in Excel) of the record on which the Hyperlink was clicked in Access.
Is this possible or am I just wishing too much?
I have a query which provides probability of occurrences for items A,B,C,D below 5, 10, 15 and 20.
Yet another query gives probability of occurrences for items A,B,C,D above 5,10,15 and 20.
Now I need the combined probability for each of the items A,B,C,D.
What is available and what is needed are both attached.
I have a table with (integer) numbers! using the format "00000" i can make sure that it will be 5 digits.
No i am aiming to combine the five digit number with a text in another column and do not succed at all.
what i want to get:
column A: number (e.g. 1)
column B: number 4 digits (e.g. 0001)
column C: number combined with string (e.g. ab0001cd)
Of course it would be a nice one to skip the coluimn B! - what ever i tried ended up in sth. like "ab1cd" at the best....
i have a production database application in which there are many sections. every section's product stock is generated by running a complex query.
now when i want to add the result from different sections into a one combined stock , i could not design the query as it become too large and on running it produces the error "cannot open anymore database".
i think reason might be too many queries executing at same time .
so do i need to create a table from the stock queries of each section? and then add the tables to generate the combined stock query ?
I have a query for clients who come to our office looking for services.
I only need to report 1 visit per client during the month, in other words if the client comes several times during the month, we only count 1.
When I run the query, it gives all the times the client came to the office, but I only need to show once.
Clients are being sorted by ClientID. What do I need to write in the Criteria field to filter clients from showing again ?
Thanks
I have many queries that all do the same thing. The problem is that they're connected to specific controls on a form, so I have to make a new query everytime I make a new form to perform the same task as the others. This would be eliminated if there was a way to use the criteria the same way you would in code, like Me!controlname. Is there anyway possible to make these queries more universal so that they can be used by many forms?
