Tables :: Truncated Long Text Field?

Oct 9, 2013

I have been using Access 2013 to make a database which outputs values to PowerPoint. Everything has been working fine up to now that I'm trying to add to the presentation.

I have two tables with data in which are both brought together in a query which my VBA code relates to to output it to Powerpoint. Both tables contain data in 'long text' fields. The data from one outputs into PowerPoint textboxes without any issues regardless of the length of the data but the data from the other one is truncated to 255 characters. It definitely says it is a 'long text' field - is there any reason it would truncate the output?

Tables :: Field Value Got Truncated - Data Type For Storing Long Text?

Mar 10, 2014

I have encountered an issue when I was inserting a string (with newlines about 176 characters) into access table. This field in access has the data type TEXT and it was truncated after the insertion. It is strange because I have three other fields with the same format and no truncation at all. May I know what could be the reason and how/what is the recommend data type for storing long text?

Tables :: Truncated Output From One Table But Not Another - Long Text Fields

Oct 14, 2013

I have been using Access 2013 to make a database which outputs values to PowerPoint.

I have two tables with data in which are both brought together in a query which is the recordset my VBA code relates to to output it to Powerpoint. Both tables contain data in 'long text' fields.

Tables :: Difference Between Short Text And Long Text?

Jul 31, 2013

What is the difference between "short text" and "long text"? Both seem to have 255 characters limit. I have Access 2013, and I found a solution, that you can use Memo instead of Short text. But the problem is, that there is no "memo" data type in Access 2013. So that won't work for me.

Tables :: Long Text - Lost Functionality From Old Memo Type

Mar 28, 2014

I am a pretty novice user currently playing around with Access 2013 using Office 365.

I used to love the old style Memo field where people cut put in carriage returns to split up data. I am wondering if this function has been removed with this LONG TEXT FIELD or is there a way around it.

I like it because I tend to use it as a tracking field and like the newest "comments" at the top separated by a Carriage Return...

Saving Long Text To A Memo Field

Oct 21, 2004

I'm trying to save the contents of a text box into a memo field in a table, but after my code runs i look in the field and it is cut off after a hundred characters or so, and the last few characters are garbled. This is the code:

Code: DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE orderheaders SET orderheaders.Comments = [Text127] WHERE orderheaders.OrderNumber = " & GlOrderNumber & ""

orderheaders = table
Text127 = text box
GlOrderNumber = integer variable

Is there a way to do this with only code? (I dont want to do it by binding the text box to the field)

Truncated Memo Field On Export!

Feb 10, 2006

Hello! I have a problem resulting from some previous issues I had with a memo field, and you can see the original problem here: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=464184#post464184

I'm starting a new thread because I have a somewhat unrelated problem with the same query. I have a memo field that has quite a few characters...as many as 15,000 characters or more! After running some commands to trim the spaces out of the memo field, I'm trying to export a query with the memo field to a text file. The query is a Select query that matches the memo field with the appropriate order detail from another table where each record has the same order number. All of the tables are actually links to tables on a SQL server.

The query works perfectly. But, when I try to export as a tab-delimited text file, the memo field gets truncated after about 512 characters or so. To clarify my steps, I am right-clicking on the query, select Export, select a Text file from the drop-down box, then select Delimited, Tab, Include Field Names on First Row, and the Text Qualifier is {none}. Please help me! I am using Access 2003 SP2. Thanks so much in advance!!

Memo Field Is Truncated By Query

Mar 14, 2007

I am using a 'memo' field in a table because the field size needs to be more than the maximum for a 'text' field (255 characters).

Although the text appears in full in the table, when I run a query to select certain records from that table the text in the memo field is truncated to 255 characters.

Anyone know how to correct this?

Importing Data From Excel To Memo Field In Access Is Truncated After 255 Characters

Nov 16, 2007

I haven't seen anyone run into this particular problem on this forum...

I'm importing data from an excel spreadsheet to an MS Access (2007) table. One of the fields in the table is a text memo field able to support more than 255 characters...

Issue:
The issue is that any cell in Excel that is greater than 255 characters is truncated when imported to MS Access even though the field is a memo field. There isn't any documentation on Microsoft's website about this and I don't see any way to work around it other than manually copying the data from excel to MS Access.

Anyone have any input on this matter?

Thanks in advance!

Tables :: 2 Similar Tables / One Takes Too Long To Append Data

Jul 19, 2014

I have being playing with ms access but I really don't know much about it or databases in general.I have created a very simple database to gather twitter following/followers data for research purposes.One table (table01) has a field for the "boss" user (=the user who I gather data for), another field for "client" (=bosses followers or friends).Both fields are numeric and contain the users id's.In order to distinguish if the link is follower or friend there is a third field, called type which can be either 1 (=follower) or 2 (=friend).So the data would look like this:

boss - client - type
12345, 67890, 1
12345, 54321, 2

If user with user id 12345 had a follower (type 1) with user id 67890 and a friend with user id 54321...In order to avoid getting duplicate rows I also added a unique identifier which is of the form boss_id-user_id-type.So the above row looks like this:

12345-67890-1, 12345, 67890, 1
12345-54321-2, 12345, 54321, 2

That works just fine.For several reasons I also needed data of the form source - target.So I also made another table (table02) of this form.

67890, 12345
12345, 54321
...

In table 2 you don't need the "type" field since the position of the user id shows the type of relationship.Still, you need a unique identifier in order to avoid duplicates, so I added on with the form: source_id-client_id..So table02 lookes like this

67890-12345, 67890, 12345
12345-54321, 12345, 54321
...

Both tables also have a date/time stamp for each line.As you can see, table01, having also a type field is bigger than table02.The problem is when I try to append data, exactly the same data in both tables.Appending data to table01 is ok, while appending data to table02 (which is smaller, having one less field) takes a really long time, maybe 10 times as long as appending data to table01.To make sure that no query's are causing the problem I have tried first creating temporary tables with the data to be appended, no duplicates, nothing that would cause the database to make extra calculations and used a simple update query with no filters to append data.Still I get the same result, table02 takes a very long time to finish while table01 finishes in no time.

Dropping Query Joins On Long Text Fields

Nov 14, 2005

I have created some queries that are joined on long text fields (80-120 characters). I can save the query in the graphic query design window. But when I reopen the window I get messages that the Joins have been deleted. I cannot find any references to this issue. Does anyone have experience or info on this?

I don't need a lecture about the use of long text fields in Query Joins. And yes I have used Search first.

Thanks for your help.

Modules & VBA :: Exporting Data To Excel Truncates Long Text Form

Jun 13, 2014

I'm having an issue where when I attempt to export data from an Access database to an excel spreadsheet using VBA it truncates any field longer than 255 characters to the 255 limit. I'm using

Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "tableName", "FilePath", True, ""

to export it (obviously with the table name and filepath filled in) but for some reason I cannot get it to export the entirety of the field to excel. I've been doing some digging on various forums around the internet and it seems as though it may be possible to split it into various excel cells then use automation to concatenate the cells. But considering this field I am trying to get not truncated can be up to 40,000 characters theoretically, it doesn't make sense to do it that way.Do you need more information from me? I'm somewhat new to both Access and VBA.

Query Field String Too Long

Mar 8, 2006

Let's say I have a query like:

select [x]+[y] as A, [z]*[A] as B from MyTable.

I have found that sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't, (Like, it works the first time I run it, but later quits working....)so I've gotten into the habit of repeating my calculations and writing it thus instead:

select [x]+[y] as A, [z]*([x]+[y]) as B from MyTable.

However, I now have some query fields that have so many calculations in them that I exceed the string length that Access allows for a query field. So is there a way to make the shorter SQL work consistently?

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks!

PS: Here's the field I need to shorten:
AdjFcstDay: IIf(((Sum([AvgDaily])*First([forecastweeks])*5+nz(First([backlog]),0))/(First([forecastweeks])*5))+IIf([wiptotal]<(IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([lowwipflag]))*First([dailystddev]))),((IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([lowwipflag]))*First([dailystddev])))-[wiptotal])/5,IIf([wiptotal]>(IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([highwipflag]))*First([dailystddev]))),((IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([highwipflag]))*First([dailystddev])))-[wiptotal])/5,0))<0,0,(Sum([AvgDaily])*First([forecastweeks])*5+nz(First([backlog]),0))+IIf([wiptotal]<(IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([lowwipflag]))*First([dailystddev]))),((IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([lowwipflag]))*First([dailystddev])))-[wiptotal])/5,IIf([wiptotal]>(IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([highwipflag]))*First([dailystddev]))),((IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([highwipflag]))*First([dailystddev])))-[wiptotal])/5,0)))

Tables :: Performance Analyzer - Change Data Type To Long Integer

Dec 22, 2012

When I run the analyzer on all object types it recommends to change the data type for field "zip" (zip code) to "long integer to:

"benefit that table and potentially other objects in my database"

The field type is currently set to text, And I have the same setting for the same field in a separate table, yet it does not come up with a recommendation for that table.

Additionally, I don't seem to have the option "long integer" for the field data type???

Forms :: Format Double Field As Long Time

Feb 17, 2015

I have recently upgraded my Access 2003 application to Access 2010. I am running into a problem when formatting a textbox to 'Long Time' that is linked to a Double type field. The error that I get is 'The value you entered isn't valid for this field. You may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize setting permits.'

The textbox is linked to a field (double data type) and displays as the time in long format (4:06:17 PM). When I try to change to 4:07:17 PM I get the error. I tried removing the 'PM' and the colons but the error still occurs. The only way that I can get it to work is if I use a double value (0.735405092592593). In Access 2003 the time value would display properly, allow me to change the time and then save the time as a double to the database.

Queries :: Access 2007 - Update A Field In A Table With A Random Number / Long Integer

May 27, 2014

Is it possible to run a SQL command to update a field within a table with random numbers?

More specifically - random long integers linking back to an ID (autonumber) field in another table?

Background to this is, I have multiple static data tables related to each other by long integer identifiers (autonumbers)

The structure is fine but I haven't been provided with the actual data yet - but for development purposes, I need to work on other functionality which requires that this data be present.

So I want to fill my table with dummy data such that I can go off and work on the remaining functionality, but then just go back and clear it all out once I get the actual data.

I have one 'main' static table, which links back to other tables, which I have already populated with dummy static (i.e. company names, locations etc) Now I want to go into my main table and populate those fields in each record with a random ID. I don't mind doing this field-by-field (there's only a handful) but I've a lot of records in there (~1000) so I'd rather not do this record-by-record.
