View RepliesI have a database composed of personal statistics. (name, age, height, wt, etc). I have two attachment fields. Photos and Videos. Each of these fields can contain more that one file. The size of the video attachments is starting to get me up close to the 2 GB database limit. If each attachment field contained only one file, I would convert the fields over to a path link. I'm stumped on how to move the files out of the main database to control the size, but maintain the multi-file link to my forms. How to restructure this?

I need a textbox to a five digit number. How would I write code to reflect this.
Thanks.
I have a datasheet with 7 columns. Two of the columns I'm working with are listed below.
File # Region #
2DE2-12345 2
3DE2-@@@ 3
In data sheet view I would like the Region # column to autofill based on the first digit of the file #. So, if file # entered = 3DE3-@@@@ then 3 would auto fill in Region Column. (data is entered in data sheet view)
I have used Left ([File #],1) to get value but cant make it auto populate the Region # column......
I am splitting a database and have created the Back end already. When I create the front end and link to the tables on the back end... The front end does not link to all the tables in the back end. The list that comes up when creating the linkings does not show all the tables in the back end. What would cause this?

For example my data is
123412(main-field) and i want to see them 1234(field1) 12(field2)
I'm trying to split a table up because I now realize it won't be able to do what I need in the future. It wasn't designed properly at the outset, and I'm trying to correct it now.
This is a database of pregnancies and deliveries.
The single table does not cater well for multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc), and also I foresee problems when mothers come back in future for another delivery.
Therefore I am trying to separate data into 3 tables: Mother, Delivery and Baby.
This is because each mother can deliver more than once, and each delivery can have more than one baby.
I have set up a trial database, with just a few fields in each table to see if this works. An screenshot of the table relationships is attached.
The primary key of the Mother table is linked to the Delivery table, and ditto the primary key of the Delivery table and the Baby table.
I'm not sure how to migrate the data over, in terms of the primary keys of each table, because in the new tables, these should be an AutoNumber field, so that they are unique numbers.
right i've been trying to think how to do this and i can't work it out... really shouldn't have got myself into the situation in the first place but i'm hoping its easier than i think so here goes
i have two tables TBL_Batches and TBL_Jobs, there are batches of jobs, many jobs to one batch so the tables are linked in a one to many relationship
there is a field in TBL_Jobs called job type which can be typeA or typeB and all the batches contain a mix of typeA and typeB jobs
the end result which i need to achieve is to have two entries in TBL_Batches for every one i have at the moment, one of them containing only typeA and the other only typeB... so where i have batch1 i should have batch1a and batch1b remove batch1 and all the foreign keys in TBL_Jobs changed so they link to the appropriate new batch in TBL_Batches
any ideas?
I've developing a little Project and have some issues after splitting a db.
I have some forms in wich I want to see some tables with the "+" sign on the rows so I can go to their linked tables. The problem that I have is that everything works perfect until I split the access file.
Hello again!
Hoping to use SQL to do this in a query.
In a table I have linked to a text document (have to do it that way) there is a field that holds multiple values.
Meaning there can be some fields with nothing, some with a -, soem with a 3 digit number, some with a single digit followed by a space and then a 3 digit number, and lastly a 10 character text with spaces between each.
What i want to do in the query is when it looks at that field, create 2 fields out of it.
When its the 5 character value (the one that is like '2 345') split it, place the 2 in the first new field, and the 345 in the second new field. If the value in the originals field is not in that format, jsut carry over the value to the second new field.
does that make sense?? haha
thanks in advance!
I have a field - Period in the format YYYYMM.
How can I split this value so that I only extract YYYY?
Thanks

I have been able to do this with a work around but it is slow and cumbersone when lots of records are involved and am hoping there is a "proper way" to edo it.
--(&100,,,, 200 ---() 300,400- (500),,,, --600
6 is the maximum number of alpha/number entities and down to ----john etc. Result to be
100 200 300 400 500 600
There can also be a mixture as in
--(&John,,,, 200 ---() Andrews,400- (500),,,, --600
John 200 Andrews 400 500 600
I have a db with a field that I need to split and put values into two other fields. The format of field1 is either a-b, aa-b, aa-bb, or a-bb. I want to take the value before the "-" and put it into field2 and then take the value after the "-" and put it into field3 and then delete field1. Is there a straightforward way to do this? I want to do it in the query design grid so let me know what should be in the "criteria" line versus the "update to" line.
I'm using Access 2000 and have approx 5500 records to convert.
Thanks!!

Hi all,
I have a problem this is part of my database
ID NAME DATARANGE ck1 ck2
1 dave 23-Jan-06,24-Jan-06,30-May-06 dataprojector s/table
2 John 23-Feb-06,24-Mar-06,30-Apr-06 s/table
What i would like to do is to run an maketable / updatetable query that splits out the daterange dates into seperate rows and also if there is a value in ck1 or ck2 replace the current value with either a 1 or 0.
So the above table would look like this.
ID NAME DATARANGE ck1 ck2
1 dave 23-Jan-06 1 1
2 dave 24-Jan-06 1 1
.
.
.
?? John 23-Feb-06 0 1
John 24-Mar-06 0 1
ETC
is this possible any help would be greatful
Thanks

Lo All,
i need to split records from a field
db - online
table - merk
field - merkCat
in the field i have - 1,2,3
now i send a string bla.asp?cat=1
i want to loop thru the db , but only show the records which actually have the 1 represented
in the merkCat field. Not all fields have that. So far i have selected the db and
i loop thru it , but somehow it wont split up
A little help by pointing me to some cool scrippy would be very helpful
thnx in advance.
I have to split a filed that has Lname, Fname into two columns of Lname and Fname. I know how to do this in Excel (using left, right by calculating the len using the comma) but i don't know the functions or the code to do this in Access.

I want different sets which should have values based on rowcount. Suppose if I select set 1 then the table should populate records from 1-2500. If I select set 2 then the table should automatically give the records from 2501-5000. If i select set3 then the table should have values from 5001-7500 and so on.

I am building a sales database for a client he has supplied the text files which I have loaded into tables.
Problem on the sales file there are multiple part numbers in the part field these are separated by '-' the same format is on the Qty and value fields. The logic behind this is:
For the 1st part in the part field the qty and the value are the 1st in there respective columns, for the 2nd part in the part field the Qty an value are the 2nd in there respective columns and so on eg
PS001 |BAGR3-BAGR4-BAGR6 |03-01-01 |4.29-5.17-5.99
How would I get above to look like this:
PS001 |BAGR3|03 |4.29
PS001 |BAGR4|01 |5.17
PS001 |BAGR6|01 |5.99
Any suggestions would be great
thanks

Hi
I'm having a senior moment...
I have a reference field - examples below and need to split into the component parts
example Ref_IDs:
C21/0051,Sheet 18, Sheet 19, E 3, 12/01/07
C21/0052.04, Sheet21 ,E 2
C21/0054, Sheet 23, B 2, 05/01/07
First - ref no, Second - Sheet (note some have more than one), Third - Grid and lastly some have dates, but not all
Hi All
Been handed a contacts database, one field of the DB includes all the industry sectors associated with the customer, with multiple industry references separated only by a comma within the field (e.g. Insurance-Life,Insurance-Broking,Insurance-Motor,Insurance-Pensions,Insurance-Home,Insurance-Health) – I want to split this one field into multiple fields using the comma as the break point (this is something that’s relative easy to do in Excel with the ‘Text to Columns’ tool – but unfortunately it can’t take the 130,000 odd records of the databasel)
Can any one recommend an expression or method that will see the 6 industry references split into 6 separate fields ?
Thanks

Is there a function or query that I can split a field into different columns?
For example, I have First Name, Last Name, Address.
But I want to split the address field into Address1, Address2, Address3, Address4 as the initial Address field has a lot of characters with commas e.g. 11 London Road, Liketown, Likeshire, London.
So, I want to be Address1: 11 London Road, Address2: Liketown, Address3: Likeshire, Address4: London.
I thought that I can export the field using a simple query and then re-import it with using the text field into columns option, but it is time consuming.
I have a table field which long ago was merged from several other fields. When the data was merged into the field it was delimited by "1." then "2." up to "5."
Example: MergedField = "1.Animal 2.Large 3.African 4.Grey 5.Long Nose"
I now want to split it appart in a query where "1.Animal" goes into expression1, "2.Large" goes into expression2, etc.
I need to base the text on where the one number begins and grab everything until the next number in the mergefield is detected.
Can someone show me the syntax for this.
Thanks!
I have one field called FULL_ADDRESS. From that field I am going to populate two other fields. One called ADD_1 and the other, ADD_2.
In the FULL_ADDRESS field I have the following text :
"BOX 2747 ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE AB T4T 1L7"
I want ADD_1 updated to:
"BOX 2747 ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE AB"
and ADD_2 updated to:
"T4T 1L7"
While I understand how to do an update if I was using a space as a reference, i.e.
Trim(Left([FULL_ADDRESS],Instrrev([FULL_ADDRESS]," ")-1))
Trim(Mid([FULL_ADDRESS],Instrrev([A]," ")+1))
I can't figure out how to skip the first space from the right, and reference to the second occurring space, so that I get "T4T 1L7" to populate the ADD_2 field, and everything to the left of "T4T 1L7" placed in the ADD_1 field.
I am new to MS Access, and am not sure if what I want to do is even possible. It is my understanding that comparing subsequent cells within a field in a database cannot be done- so I thought I'd see if there is a way to go around it.
I have a dataset for pedestrian activity, with over 3 million rows and 40 columns - too big for excel to handle.
I need to sort the entire dataset by 2 fields, following which I need to search down the field containing my pedestrian ids (numbered 1, 2, 3... till approx 10000), and when my ped id changes from one to the next, I need to check the value in a field showing the ped location, and if that matches with the ped's previous location, I need to copy out a cell corresponding to the previous cell's time stamp. If it doesn't match, I need to copy out another time stamp from another field.
I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.
