Show Text Box In A Form Based On Character Within A String In Another Text Box
Dec 21, 2012I 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
Can You Make Just One Part Of The Text In A Text Box Bold Or A Different Font Size?
Aug 20, 2004Is there a way to make just part of the text in a text box bold, or to use different font sizes in the same text box?
Something like this:
---------------------------------
Heading in bold: description in regular (not bold)
(a smaller height line used as a line space)
Another "normal" line
a larger height line
a normal line....all in one text box!
---------------------------------
One thing I'd like to be able to do is to specify the line height of a blank line in a text box. I'm using carriage returns created with: Chr(13) & Chr(10). I could see defining the font size of a hidden character, but I'd need to know how to assign a font size to a piece of the text in a font box.
Delete All Text Before Character
Jun 12, 2005I'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?

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.
Text Box Capitalizes First Weekday Character
Dec 9, 2005Hi,
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?

Using Update Querry To Change A Text Character
Mar 25, 2007I 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
Tables :: Text Conversion - Invalid Character Or Comma Entered
Jun 11, 2015 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:

Reports :: Memo Text Displays As Chinese Character Or Square Box
Jun 25, 2014I 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.
Importing Records From Text File Based On First Character Or Code In One Field
Jun 12, 2013I have a file that I need to import on a regular basis. There are two different issues with the import:
1. the first digit in the file indicates if it is a record I want to keep. In this case a 1 indicates a repair record and an 8 indicates it is just information such as email, contact info etc.
2. I have a field in the file that may change the import specifications
For example:
If the record is a Non wheel repair then column 167 is a 50 character description
If the record is Wheel repair then column 167 is a 28 character description and the remaining 22 characters are broken down into 10 different fields
So I need to do the following
1. Read the first character in the line and determine if it is a number 1 and if not discard it
2. Read a field in column 109 that is two characters long and if it says it is a wheel repair the import will break column 167 -216 down to the appropriate 11 fields and if it is a non wheel repair it will import columns 167 - 216 as one big description field.
I have used the import specifications with Access but it seems this will have to be done in code in a module or something and I am not very good with VB. (only know the basics)
One other issue is I have dates in the file that are 130225 and 1302 (so full date and then Year/Month) if i take out the / date separator in the import spec the full date works but the Year/Month doesn't.
Text Field Size
Jul 29, 2005Is there any way of increasing a text field size to above 255?
View 3 Replies View RelatedText Field Size
Jul 11, 2007MS documentation states that space is not reserved for unused characters in a text field. Does this mean that there is no storage penaly for having a text field 255 as opposed to 80.
On a more general note are there any tools to help calculate the size of a table?
Label Text Size

Type Text Field Size
Oct 2, 2006Hi,
I have searched on this and it says: it doesn't matter as long as it's of type text. It matter if it's long integer..etc. I am not quite sure.
I wonder if default size '50 of fields' of type text occupies that size in memory even though the data in the field is not 50 chars.
Regards,

View 1 Replies View RelatedReports :: Text Within Report Labels Different Size In Preview / Print?
Jan 12, 2015I have always noticed that when creating a report, when you make a paragraph using a label, the alignment and size of the text/paragraph is always different when you preview the report than when you design it.
This makes alignment of paragraphs tricky, especially when you are trying to insert a bold faced word into the middle of a block of text by using a separate label.
I am using Access 2000
Changing Font Size Of Labels Depending On Text Length
Jul 28, 2014I have a report that prints labels (similar to avery labels) which pulls data from a query. These labels are all unique and vary in length. Due to the length variance, I want the font size to get smaller for labels with more characters. I want the text to go down to another line when necessary.
In my report under the OnPage Event Procedure I wrote this:
Private Sub Report_Page()
If Len(Text2) > 20 Then Text2.FontSize = 8
If Len(Text2) > 10 And Len(Text2) < 21 Then Text2.FontSize = 10
If Len(Text2) < 11 Then Text2.FontSize = 14
End Sub
This works to some degree but the problem is that once there is a longer label, all of the proceeding labels are resized & the longer label that should have been resized was not.
Is there another place I should be writing this code? I looked under events for the textbox but there doesn't seem to be anything that would work since none of them would trigger when printing labels
Import Text File / Multiple Lines And Varying Delimiters / Size To One Record
Aug 22, 2012Using MS 2007, I have a 200 text files exported each day from another application that has two different types of lines (see below). I would like to import each text file in to a database as a single record.
Text file example (text.txt):
R111 WC 8/21/2012 7:00 Doe, John doej 10110110
First Question? Y
Second Question? N
Third Question? Y
...
Seventeenth Question? 10
As you see, I have the first row with multiple fields, but the next rows I have a question and an answer.
I would like to have this data imported as shown in the attachment. Example.zip
Most answers I see are for either multiple lines (same data and sizing). I am not sure how to handle several different lines with that vary in size and delimiters.
Large Field Size = Larger Overall Database Size?
Aug 29, 2005Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?
Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.
Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.
Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

Forms :: Text Size In Forms / Datasheets
Aug 16, 2014I need to make the text size smaller to fit everything on the screen (users use 17" monitors..). I have gone into each form and subform and changed the text size for each text box to 9, but when I view them in form view the size has not changed ?
Also .. is there any way to make the autocentre option actually work as it's name suggests !! ? it does in most cases centre horizontally, but never vertically, quite often putting the top of the pop up form over the ribbon bar.
I would actually like to be able to totally remove the ribbon bar so that only the database forms are the only thing the user sees.
I vaguely remember being able to do this in Access 97 (Which was the last version I used - a long time ago !) but this seems to be more difficult in 2010 version.
