Does anybody know of another function to do it. searched the archive to no avail.

Thanks in advance

General :: How To Force Paste Action To Strip Out Any Hidden Characters

Mar 31, 2015

My users do a fair bit of copy/paste from any number of sources.

How do I force the paste action to strip out any hidden characters? Now I realize that a return and a space are hidden characters, so how do I strip out everything but the ones that I want?

Removing Characters From A String

Jan 5, 2005

is there a way to do this in VBA in Access I looked at trim but it does not help much

Dim MyString, TrimString
MyString = " <-Trim-> " ' Initialize string.
TrimString = LTrim(MyString) ' TrimString = "<-Trim-> ".
TrimString = RTrim(MyString) ' TrimString = " <-Trim->".
TrimString = LTrim(RTrim(MyString)) ' TrimString = "<-Trim->".
' Using the Trim function alone achieves the same result.
TrimString = Trim(MyString) ' TrimString = "<-Trim->".

I have a select statment setting the data that will be in a combo box
I would like to trim this data...

for example the select statment returns something like
category>subcatgory>field>subfield

so I want to trim it down to be
field>subfield

Trimming Off First 7 Characters In A String

Oct 21, 2005

My DB is on SQL Server with an Access adp front end.

SQL uses the Windows NT user name and password for security and also pulls in the user name into a field in every record so we know who has added and modified it.

For one table we are actually using the user name field on the form and in a report for reasons other than security.

The user name is filled in with first the name of the network group, then a slash, then the user name itself. So there are 7 characters I don't really care about.

Is there a way in VBA to remove those first seven characters and only show what comes afterwards? Thanks for the help!

Left Three Characters From String Using Query

Sep 8, 2005

In MySQL I can use the LEFT(3, field_name) command, but I essentially want access to pull all records from a table where the the first three digits of a number field match those pre-selected by a form drop down.

This database is in Access 97. Is there a way to compare the first x number of digits using SQL only, or do I need to run each line through code first, and then check it (I really don't want to do that)?


example numbe rin field:

123456789

SQL checks to see if 123 matches value selected on a form.

Queries :: Replace 2 Characters In String With 0s

Dec 8, 2014

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.

Help Removing Characters

Feb 21, 2007

Hello,

I am totally new at this database stuff. I have been searching the archives for a couple hours and confused on how to accomplish what I need to do. I saw references to using a module but I have not used that feature yet.

I am using Access 2003. I need to remove/delete " - " space dash space, "-" and "&" from a string in one field (DGName). I'm trying to do this with a make table query

DGName
P1000
P1000 - SMLS
P1000-CA (not a type error)
UD000 - C&B
V-NET

and I want it to come out like this

DGName
P1000
P1000SMLS
P1000CA
UD000CB
V-NET

Thanks
Sean

Using Wildcard Characters

Oct 6, 2005

I have several queries looking up products from a table. I use a simple form to access the query and in the criteria of the field I use [Forms]![EnterCroft]![ProductName] to filter by name. (EnterCroft is the name of the form).

It works fine but doesn't like the asterisk (*) for all products.

I also want to use wildcard before and after key words in the product names, eg *cup* for anything with CUP in it's name.

How can I do this?

Thank you very much.
