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?
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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use find and replace to modify text in report design - or else is there something else I can do to get the same effect? I have a really useful report and I want to modify it for use with a different dataset. To do that I will need to change the text in over 150 text boxes. I have seven different fields which each occur over 20 times in the control source formulas in the text boxes, because they are used in different ways in different calculations. If this was excel I could do a simple find and replace to change e.g. every reference to fieldname OLD to fieldname NEW, but I cannot see how to do that within access report so am haveing to click on each text box in turn, go to properties and edit the text box .
I am trying to switch to a more general naming system in the modified report so then I will be able to assign data with the required fieldnames for the report within a query. But the report I am starting with has field names based on years 2013, 2014, 2015 etc.I want a quick way to change each reference to those field names to my more generic new field names.
I have a form where the user puts in a email address, eg test @ myserver.net
So the link opens a new mail it has to be prefixed by mailto:
How can I automatically replace the address the user enters with the format mailto:test@myserver.net
Hi,
I have my main table and one column is a lookup field to another table.
One of the options that was in the dropdown needed to be changed. So I changed the dropdown, but now I need to change all the old entries to reflect this change.
I opened the main table, and thought I could do a find/replace. But it doesn't work. If I do just a 'find' it finds the old text just fine. But if I do the Find/Replace option, it says the 'look for' text was not found. Even tho, I just found it using the find option. If I click on the tab that says find, it will find it again. If I click on the find/replace it can't find it.
any ideas on a way to quickly replace my text in these fileds, without having to go 1 by 1 through each record.
Thanks
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.
Is there a way for me to do a find/replace on a '#'? I am trying to remove all '#' in a text field. When I do a find/replace (replace '#' with ''), it removes all my numbers from the text field.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

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"
My forms work well, but in form view are widely separated from the user tool bar. That is, the form is in the upper top left corner of the screen and the tool bar for choosing records is in the left hand corner at the bottom of the screen. I cannot get the tool bar in a position near the bottom of the form where it would be easier to work with.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've developed and used over the past 20 years to handle my home finances. It includes several charts that were probably created back in Access 2003, which I used up until a couple of weeks ago when I subscribed to Office 365 Home and set up Office 2013, including Access.Most things worked without a hitch. In fact, all my old VBA code seems to run just fine.
However, the charts don't work. The right side of chart gets cut off way short of the margin both in print preview and report view. Everything else looks fine and the data is correct.
I've fiddled and fussed and fangled with zoom, clip and stretch. I've tried to resize the chart area - it just snaps back. I've tried everything I can think of based on 20 years of fussing with Access charts - which has always been a major pain - without success.

Access 2013 on a windows 7 machine with 4 processors and 24GB total RAM.
Today I have 14 GB free memory (unbelievable! my first laptop had 136 MB total memory!) when I got this error (Access using 38MB) which makes me believe its not a system memory issue but to do with how much (or quickly) memory is allocated to Access.
I'm working on a database which holds information about clients. This also has a linked table which pulls information from my outlook inbox. Basically what I want is a way to sort the emails into the appropriate contacts page. I have created a sub form which is linked to the contact form and pulls info from the email table. The sub form is linked by the 'from' field in the linked email table to the 'email address' field in the contact form.
This all seems to work exactly as I want when the email address is displayed as the display name of the client however most of the time, the display name in outlook is either the contacts name or their company name.
I suppose my question is this, how can I tell access to pull the email address from outlook instead of the display name? I may be missing something here but this seems like something that should be available as standard doesn't it?

I've inherited an Access Application which is basically a Front End for calling Integration Service Packages - for all intents and purposes it could be stored procedures or anything other executable. A number of forms have hard coded links that point to a particular executable on a network drive.
With regards to this the UAT packages will live in a different directory than the DEV code so is it possible to parameterise the link e.g. could W:CAT DevelopmentAutomation PackagesOTCOptionsImport.dtsx become W:PARAMETERAutomation PackagesOTCOptionsImport.dtsx - if so then how do I create a parameter, capture it and use it in the link above.
The whole project is lacking the use of parameters at an ACCESS level and Integration Services level but due to time constraints there is no scope to major overhaul the system design.
I am a developer with many years of experience but my Access knowledge is limited so any pointers would be helpful.
I have a people table; Ethnicity Table; Program Type Table; Attendance Table.
I enter the people into the people table then enter people into the attendance table with lookup for name from the people table and a lookup for program type from program type table and enter date attended. I then run a query on the attendance table to remove duplicates. I created a form from the attendance query there are 3 headers Program, Ethnicity, Name. but the program type comes up as the ID number and not the text name.
The Ethnicity did the same thing but when I added the Ethnicity from the people table to the ethnicity header it show up as the name and I hide the box with the number but when I add the program type from the program type table to the program header is changes the source of the report to the program type table and then nothing shows up. It did not do that when I added the ethnicity type from the ethnicity table to the ethnicity header.

I have been developing an Access (accdb) in V2013 at home for use in my work environment. Ultimately it will be used by a small number of users in different locations hence my need to split the database into a front end and back-end tables. I have done this many times before in other versions of Access and if the location of the back-end files has been changed when you open the database it prompts you to find the new location and re-link them. Since I am carrying on the development at home/work and then taking the front-end into work/home I need Access to prompt me for the new location. However unless you remove linked tables first Access 2013 will not prompt you for the new location instead it just bypasses that and asks you to open a database so you are stuck in a loop. The database has been designed to open offering users minimal possibility of tinkering so I open holding the 'Shift key' down but this still doesn't prompt me to re-link. Why is the linked table manager not being fired up?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm about to connect my DB to word. So I made a form where the user has to choose what entry to export. The data is inserted in a word file in different bookmarks.

Code:

Lrs is a Recordset.
So how is it possible to display the html code right in the Word doc?

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]

[Picture] = stGunlib ([Picture] is a hyperlink field) it goes wrong here

It works, except that the link opens twice in two tabs in the browser. I've checked over the code for the whole form, and this code is only being run from the click event of the button, so why would it open the same tab twice? Here's the code:
