Text Parsing In An Append Query Returns Errors
Feb 21, 2008
I am using this function
Expr2: Mid$([ItemInventoryAssemblyRefFullName],(InStrRev([ItemInventoryAssemblyRefFullName],"-")+1),(InStr([ItemInventoryAssemblyRefFullName],":"))-(InStrRev([ItemInventoryAssemblyRefFullName],"-"))-1)
to parse this string
4150-ATH:GRP_54X8/BL
into this
ATH
It works great until I get to a string that looks like this
4110-SPECIAL:OLY:LONG-TRACK:REPAIRS
Which I need to return the word SPECIAL but it gives me #Error in the Query.
It would seem that when there are multiple : it is giving the error but when there is only one it works fine. Is there anyther way to atchieve what I am doing?
I am doing this in an update query to get data from Quickbooks into a table in Access.

I am running a report based on a query. When the query returns zero rows, the count function in the report gives an error. Probably a simple solution but I've searched and can't find an answer. What do I do to stop the report when there is no data?

I have a table that stores the criteria that the query is supposed to pull from so that when a user logs into my database, it reads that the person is part of a sepcific unit and then pulls that specific criteria and places it in a text box on a form. When they click a button on that form, it then opens the form that is connected to the query. The data type for the field I need criteria for is a number, so the criteria that shows up in the text box is this "1 or 3 or 5" so that it shows those specific numbers. If i put that directly into the query, it works just fine, but if I try to connect it from the text box in the form, it gives me a "data mismatch error" or an error explaining that criteria is too vast for access to pull the information. How do I make it read the information in there so that I dont have to create 1000 forms for each different unit.
Example:
Field: Unit
Table: Master Log Data
Criteria: 1 or 2 or 3
Works fine!
Field: Unit
Table: Master Log Data
Criteria: [Forms]![Selector]![Criteria]
The text box that is referenced in the criteria in the query says 1 or 2 or 3 and then I get an error... If the information is the same, why does it work when I place it in the query specifically, but not when its in the text box?

I have a table x where the field value is selected via a combo box in a form that is populated from another table z.
When I look in x, it appears to have correctly stored the text from z, not the ID number.
I then built a Query, qX, which looks in x and grabs the fields I want. That query shows the text correctly in each selected field.
Now when I build a form, frmQx and use a List control, it displays some of the fields as ID values from the original table z, not the text values.
How can I get round this? I've searched and searched for an answer, sigh. Maybe I'm just not quite certain how to phrase the search.

I'm trying to parse text strings by certain spaces and characters within the string. For Example, if my text string is RAST 2006-A1 B1 mtge, how can I 1) create a new field with just the RAST 2006-A1, 2) Create a field with just the RAST 2006-A1 B1?
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

I have a Db with a table imported from sql server. One of the fields contains data wrapped between xml tags. The xml tag identifiers when looked at as columns are not consistently the same tag identifiers but effectively I am parsing the string to provide columns of data from between the tag identifiers.
example:
<T6><A29>Compton Group</A29><A31>CO009</A31><A32>CO161/71</A32><A30>Invu Proposal</A30><A28>05 September 2007</A28><A41>Sales</A41></T6>
I am wondering if the method I am using to deconcatenate the string is the bext way. In my query I reference the left tag value .
TagVal1: ParseTagOpenVal([Attributes],3)
And then I parse the result based on the right hand tag value
Val1: ParseTagCloseVal([TagVal1],1)
I have a couple of modules for parsing the string and I am able to deconcatenate using this method but I am wondering if its the only way or the most efficient?

I have some code that creates a dynamic "Append To" query. The problem is that when the code is run it creates the query but generates a Data Type Mismatch error. I have tracked this down to a [clientnumber] field which is formatted as text in both the main database and the one the Append to query is updating.
The client number appears as a criteria and this works for finding the client's record but it will not append it unless I enclose it in quotes. When it's in quotes it works fine.
Can anybody give me a clue as to how I can include, in the code, a formatting command that makes the information inserted into the criteria field appear enclosed in quotes. Or-
Perhaps explain why the problem exists when both fields are formatted the same in both the main table and the Appended To table.
thanks

I had posted this a couple weeks back but it didn't help much in the end, thanks to anybody who posted there anyway though.
I've used the Lookup wizard to make a lookup menu in one of my tables. The field I tell it to refer to in another table is a Text type. However, after the lookup wizard completes the type of the field which is uses the menu is changed to Number.
At this point it can be kind of whacked out and inconsistent, but what usually happens is if I select a value from the lookup field it refers to the auto number that I used as a primary key for the looked up value.
I created a new table, and tried to do a lookup field for for the same fields and got the same problem - I think it's an issue with the field I'm looking up.
I'm 100% sure I didn't do anything stupid like select the ID auto number for the lookup... So what's going on?

The following code is in a text box on a report in a database that creates work contracts. The IIF statements and Dlookups pull the parts of the text together perfectly, but why the new line and carriage returns are completely ignored in the last section? Been working on this all day and we can't find a way of inserting 2 new lines!
Code:
=DLookUp("Description","QFRCL07") & (IIf(DLookUp("Description2","QFRCL07") Is Not Null,DLookUp("BasicSalary","Tmain","ContractID=ContractID") & " " & DLookUp("Description2","QFRCL07"),"")) & (IIf(DLookUp("Description3","QFRCL07") Is Not Null,DLookUp("Job","Tmain","ContractID=ContractID") & " " & DLookUp("Description3","QFRCL07"),"")) & (IIf([Forms]![FFRRCheck]![Text305] Is Not Null,(Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Forms]![FFRRCheck]![Text305]),""))

I have 3 text boxes on a form each of which gets their values from different queries using DLookup this is functional but only when I click on the text box its self, I have tried using the "On load" & "On current" to requery the textbox (Text38 as control name) but no luck,, another strange thing i've noticed, when I have the form open in access and i click on my taskbar, thus switching windows from access to the desktop but keeping access in view, all text boxes are calculated immediately.

I have developed a private sub which automatically creates an email when a button is pushed.
The code is working well, but I need to insert Carriage Returns in the Body Text of the email just before the word "Please" where it appears in two places. Is this possible?
The code for the private sub is below.
Private Sub PublishROI_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_PublishROI_Click

I am using the dcount function as the example I display below. The problem is that it returns the correct result (i.e. 59) but the data type is text (59 is on the left side) . I need this to be number.
=DCount("[OrderID]", "Orders", "[ShipRegion] = 'CA'")

I'm trying to figure out at what point an error message occurs while a database is closing. This problem only occurs if someone clicks on the red close button on the top right of the screen when there are several forms open. If the user exists normally there is NO problem.
I am attempting to use the print statement to write to a text file to track what is happening as the database shuts down. Unfortunately, the open (print) statement, when issued, zaps any prior contents which precludes having a full printed record. I am hoping for a print syntax that would allow appending.
Code:
Open "ErrorReport.txt" for Output as #1
Appended text to the file to show what is happening in that event.
Close #1
The program, in closing, does stop with an error message that a certain file can't be found. But when I click on debug, the program simply closes. I have also commented out VBA references to the file that can't be found, but the error still persists .

hi Guys,
I have been looking at different post and checking Microsoft help files as well, but still can't seem to fix this problem.
I am having 2 tables. The first table is connected to a form for viewing and entering data, and in the second table i am just copying 3-4 fields from the first table.
I am trying to use the insert statement to insert records in the second table, and everytime i click on the "Add" button to add the records i get the following error "MS access can't append all the records in the append query ... blah blah blah"
However if i close the form and reopen it, and goto the record (as it is saved in the first database) and now click on the add button to add the fields to the second table/database, it works.
What am i doing wrong???
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

I've got a number of different append and delete queries running on command on one of my forms, in which it makes a copy of all of the data on that form and included subforms, copies them into another table, and then deletes all of the data from that record. When this runs, I get an error saying "record deleted" and then another error message. Now it is deleting the records and it is moving them, however when i go onto one of the subforms, all the fields in the subform show "Deleted#" until i go back to the previous record or forward to the next, then they clear, but everytime it brings up the other error message it says "end or Debug" which I don't want it doing.
Is this the query? Or the coding?
Thanks

Hi all,
Resolved the date range issue, thanks, now I have a problem with the query results.
I have a query based upon several other queries that have the StaffID and the linking factor. When I combine some of the queries it works fine, but with others, seemingly those that have no valves or data in the tables, the query brings back no results what so ever.
The queries are running a simple count of records so they have, StaffID input, date range and it counts the records for that staff member within the date range. The second query gives a sum of the count of the first query.
But when I try to combine the queries so that I can produce a report for multiple work areas for audit, I hit problems, is there another, easy way for me to do this, maybe creating a report from invididual query results and only combining them for the report itself.
HELP! Can not attach actual db because of sensitive nature of the information contained, but would be willing to create a like db as sample.
Thanks for any assistance!

Obvious neophyte issue here, sorry...
I have a table, PURCHASE_ITEMS with 3 fields: ID, TYPE, NAME
Another table, ITEM_TYPES with 2 fields: ID, TYPE
TYPE in both tables is a text field and there is a one-to-many relationship between them.
When I run a query on PURCHASE_ITEMS, I can see all 25 records. When I set a criteria for TYPE to one of the types, no records appear, even though there are 5 or 6 of that type.
Can anyone help me with this absurdly simple problem that I can't seem to get my brain around?

I am creating a database for a hyperthetical car hire company. A customer hires a car from and until a certain date. If a new customer decides to hire a car i want to generate a list of cars that he can choose on depending on the other dates from which other cars are hire from and until. I have created a query that generates all of the cars that the new customer can not use.
I have also generated a list of all of the cars, in the database.
I have created a new query takes the numberplates of all the cars and subtracts the numberplates of the cars that are being used.
This is where i hit a problem. For some reason the query is generating the list of number plates twice and then subtracting the numberplates that are being used. This leaves me with with 2 values for every numberplate that can be used and 1value for every numberplate that cannot be used. Can you help me?
Please post your email address so i can send you the zip file as the file is too large to upload. The query that i am having problems with has the title:SEARCH FOR AVAILIABLE CARS.
Thank You

Hi all,
I think this could be another one of my stupid moments. Here is my query expression -
IIf([WHAT TEAM?]=1,[strCurrent_Team]="FINANCE",[strCurrent_Team]<>"FINANCE")
When run, the user is prompted to enter a team number. If they enter 1, then by my reckoning the query should return all records where [strCurrent_Team] = "Finance".
However, no records are returned.
strCurrent_Team is formatted as text.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Cheers,
Rob

I hope this doesn't sound too simple for this forum, I'm only a newbie!
I have a select query that will display the recordset that meets the criteria (OK I know that's not a big deal) but...I want to know if, when there are no records that meet the criteria, can I open a form (dialog box maybe) that will say there are no records found instead of showing a blank recordset. Once again I hope this is not so blindingly obvious that I have to start watching my coffee intake
Thanks in advance

Hi, i'm hoping someone here might be able to help me. I have come to a bit of a dead end with a database application i am working on.
The database is a delivery newspaper management system for a newsagents. Basically i need it to link customers to the paper they wish to receive, organise them into delivery rounds, and produce a bill for each customer based on the newspaper they get delivered.
The problem I am currently having is when it comes to the billing.
I have:
a table that stores customer details
a table that stores newspaper details (inc. price)
a table that stores the customerID and then the NewspaperID for each day of the week. (since not all customers get a paper everyday of the week)
If a customer gets two papers then two entries are made in the requirements table under there CustomerID)
Now to fetch the price of the newspaper the customer is down to receive each day and then add these all together is where i have been having trouble.
After many different attempts the solution i am currently using is this. I have a query for each day of the week. Each query take the customerID from the requirements table, then the newspaper price from the table storing newspaper details.
The problem here is that the query returns the CustomerID next to every newspaper in the database. I found the solution was this. I added the newspaperId from the newspaper details table and in the criteria stated "[tableRequirements].[NewspaperID]" And this worked perfectly.
Untill i added a customer who gets two papers. As far as i can tell the query is returning all the possible combinations of which newspaper the customer should get.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance.

I am trying to find an Access solution to handling the MAX 2/3rds (I.E. 2from3 or 8from12 etc) returns from a series of "Scores" of a league table which will have many players, playing in many matches. I have created a crosstab query which delivers the total scores for each player from each game and played around with a make table query and a report output which I have used in excel to deliver the best 2/3rds of the scores. As others will be using the completed data base I would like to keep the solution within Access but I cannot work out how or if this is possible. Below is a limited output from the crosstab query showing the Total of all games played which I wish to turn into best 2/3rds.
