Reports :: Memo Text Displays As Chinese Character Or Square Box
Jun 25, 2014
I am using Access 2007. I recently converted my table field from text to memo. When I run a query and report linked to the qry the memo text is displayed as Chinese character or square box (if field is empty). In some forum posts this is shown as a font bug e.g. with Calibri. I changed from Calibri to Arial as this was reported to correct the bug. It did not work.
My field is set to Grow and Shrink, and table font is Rich Text also as mentioned in other posts. Still not working out.

I have a report which when I open it by clicking the button in the form shows what looks like Chinese text in the memo field. To open the report the following is in the event properties for the referencing button
Code:
Private Sub cmdPrintSumReg_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits.
Me.Dirty = False
[Code] ...
When I open the same report from the reports menu on the left of the database it is just fine. But obviously it is showing information for all contracts and not the any one contract.
I haven't changed anything in the table that contains the memo field and this only started happening yesterday afternoon after using this db for over a year.
I found an earlier post in this forum with a similar problem but the only difference I see is that the user changed the field from a text to a memo. I haven't.

I am having trouble creating a specifically formatted report.
Anyway, I have two fields: [Title] (plain text) and [Description] (memo). I want to combine the two but have the Title bold underlined but not the Description. I want it to look like this:
This is the Title. And this is the decription part that could go on for many, many more lines...
I have tried combining the two fields like: =[Title] & [Description] but if I set the properly to underline, then the whole thing is underlined.
Since the Title will vary in length, I cannot just underline the Title and then put the Description field next to it.

Hi, People. I have a centrally located works database on my server. this database. Basically gets leads and sales put into it. I.e name ,address , kitchen, and commision and value of deal.
For some reason a couple of the fields in 2 of the leads have changed a few of the input criteria to chinese text and left some the same, But the money values are all just random very large numbers.
has anyone seen this before and/or is it something to do with a virus on a users machine?

I have a database in Access 2003 which is currently in creation but keeps getting errors and changes a records font into Chinese symbols.
The 'corrupt' record also jumbles the fields around so the text that doesn't turn into Chinese font is in a different field completely.
I've gone through having it in 2000 and 2003, with FE/BE and still the problem persists.
Any help would be much appreciated.
- Further testing to break it makes it look like this is a locking issue of sorts, but I still can't find out how to solve.

I have an Access 2010 database with a memo field formatted for Rich Text.
I created a simple form. It accepts and shows paragraphs, i.e. I press Return and a new paragraph appears (with a blank line in between paragraphs).
I then created a report based on the same fields. In the memo field it shows the text entered in the form, but not the paragraph breaks. It just shows one big block of text without any paragraph breaks. I have looked for a field property in the report design and layout views that might affect how the text is displayed in the report but I cannot find one.
It is not much use if you can input paragraph breaks in a form but not see them in a report.

I have a report that displays 3 different columns of numbers.. and when I try to do a total for any one of the columns the sum option is greyed out and I cannot total any of the columns at the bottom of the report. Everything I have read says I should be able to do that.

I have an excel spread sheet that is linked into access 2003 via a table. This spread sheet is updated by personnel in another location and I have to run a weekly report on engines stored in that table that are below a certain performance level. The column heading is MGT Margin and I have to list all of the engines that are below 20 degrees. Can I run a query that looks at this table and produces a report of all the engines that are only below 20 degrees? I currently have to cut and paste each engine from the updated spread sheet every week onto a separate spread sheet and import that into access to run the report. Can a query be used to run the required report? I have attached a screen shot of the query that I am putting together to try and run this report.

I am having some problem regarding the way the options in a lookup field is displayed. Currently the options are displayed numerically instead of displaying the actual text.
I have three tables which are ContactPersonnelT, OrganizationT and TrainingDonorT.
One of the fields in the ContactPersonnelT table is, Affiliation. This field is a lookup value (look up wizard) which comes from the OrganizationT table field, OrganizationName.
In the TrainingDonorT table I have a field called, ContactPersonnel. This field is a lookup value which comes from the ContactPersonnelT table field, ContactPersonName. In the drop down list of the ContactPersonnel, besides the ContactPersonName. I also want to display the Affiliation field. However, instead of displaying the text in the OrganizationName field, a numerical value is showing.
How to change the display to text instead of the numerical value.

I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True
Else
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False
End If

We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.
Dim What As Word.Shape
Set What = doc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal , doc.PageSetup.LeftMargin, 225, 534, 0)
Dim sPath As String
sPath = "G:Temp.html"
Open sPath For Output As 1
Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>"
Close #1
What.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertFile (sPath)

I'm working on a report in Access 2013 and I have a multivalued field that stores employees names in the format "Last, First" and when I put it on my report it displays all the names as "Last1, First1, Last2, First2, Last3, First3" and so on. That's a lot of commas and it was suggested to me by my boss that I change access to use semicolons between the employees as he would like to keep the names as Last, First.

I've search the forums...If you can find a thread that discusses this, or can give me some advice on this topic, let me know.
Is there any built-in function that will allow me to delete any text before a certain point in a record... Or perhaps a way to use the REPLACE function to do so?
All of my records look like this (They're ticker symbols):
AMZN:Amazon, Inc
WMT:Wal-Mart Inc.
A:Agilen Tech Inc
MSFT:Microsoft Inc.
I just want the company name...Unfortunately, the ticker symbols aren't always the same length, so I can't use the left or right function.
I need to delete the colon and anything to the left of the colon. I've thought of a great use of the replace function for this purpose...I used wildcards...Too bad it didn't work!
Just The Company Name: Replace([Ticker Symbol and Name],"*" & ":","")
Any ideas?

like we do when we change our password, if characters are <4 or >10 then warning comes, I am making a password change button and want same thing.
I tried but could not locate any help for this. Can some body help?
Also, if put an If Text2.value = Null then
msgBox "Blank not allowed", vbcritical,"Error"
End If
While debugging I can see Null = Null but it does not give message box.
I tried everywhere in all text boxes of my db and found same thing.

In my table, I have a field for "notes" and have it set to long text. It works just fine and has all the text visible. When I create a report or a form from this table, it truncates the text in that field. It limits to the 254 characters of old. I am not sure how to fix this. I have tried setting the WillGrow to yes and it still does not work.

Hi,
A text box on my form automatically capitalizes the fist letter of a "weekday-word".
Like when I put in "sunday" this text box converts it automatically to "Sunday".
How can I avoid this?

I have a database that I imported as a comma deliminated csv file. To keep my original text comas intact I changed all the commas to semicolons before I created the csv file and imported the data. I now have a data base with semicolons in place of the original commas.
I am trying to use the update query function to change all the semicolons back to commas in one of the database fields called File_name
I have a data entry where a record in the File_name field looks like this for example
Chevrolet cavalier; red
and I want to change it so that it looks like
Chevrolet cavalier, red
I run an update query with the criteria set as Like "*;*"
and this finds all the records which have a semicolon in them
I have set the update field to "*,*"
but all this does is to change the record from
Chevrolet cavalier; red
to
*,*
Is the query update the way to go and what is the syntax that I should be using in the Update field just to change the semicolon to a comma and leave the other text intact?
thanks Mark

I need to use square brackets as part of the criteria in a LIKE SQL statement. The criteria is:
[ABC123][SR]
ie, find all records which have that as part of a longer text string. How can I amend the SQL statement below to "escape" the square brackets and treat them as part of the string?
SELECT * FROM p_Overall WHERE (((p_Overall.Assigned_Dept)="ICONS_IMAC")) OR (((p_Overall.Brief_Description) Like '*[ABC123][SR]*'));
Help!!!!
Thanks in advance :-)

When I press a label, The following code is run: -
Code:
With Me
DoCmd.GoToControl "cmdQuit"
.lblPassword.Visible = Not .lblPassword.Visible
.txtPassword.Visible = Not .txtPassword.Visible
.cmdPassword.Visible = Not .cmdPassword.Visible
[Code] .....
The code excutes OK, however the top left corner of the form shows a square based on the forms background grid. See attachment.
How do I get rid of this? When the form opens then there is no such box showing.

I'm having trouble converting text to proper text in Access 2010 using Windows 8.1 as OS.
The message I keep getting is:
The expression you entered contains invalid syntax. You omitted an operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or comma, or you entered text without surrounding it in quotation marks.
The formula I use is:
strconv([field],3)
