I have a text column of alpha-numeric fields and some start P123456, P111111, P222222 etc. I want to remove the P from these fields.
I thought the following update query would do this but gives a type conversion error, regardless if the new column to copy them to is type text or number. Can someone help explain what is wrong.
UPDATE 2006 SET D2 = CLng(RIGHT(D1,LEN(D1-1)))
WHERE LEFT(D1,1)="P";
Thanks,

Hello,
Its been a long time since i've been in this forum. I have a question about a conversion error i received not sure whats its about
i'm converting from access 97 to 2000. i ran the access 2000 conversion utility and then the following appeared and the conversion error table
Object TypeObject NameError Description
TableMSysObjects-1611: Could not find field 'Description'.
It looks like the database is fine
i am importing from excel and i have a column that has account numbers and at some point i have an account like this... 2C1C18100
on the import i get an error.
i set the field to memo, numner or text and still get the same error..
any suggestions?
thanks in advance
I am importing an Excel file of production data into a table using the TransferSpreadsheet method. Here is a snippet of the code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, , "tblMPSDATA", _
"" & stFilePath & "", True, ""
Everything works fine except the column which contains 'Material' holds both numeric and alpha-numeric values. For example these are both material numbers: 156952 and 1238707-202. The data in this column is formatted as General. The data type for Material in tblMPSDATA is Text, 18 character length. The alpha-numeric materials are all at the end of the file. When I import, an error table is created listing the alpha-numeric materials with the error 'Type Conversion Failure'. But if I have an alpha-numeric material in the first row of data then everything is imported just fine.
I have set up a nice little popup form with a file path and command button for controlling the process of bringing in this data. I really do not want to have to add special instructions about making sure the Excel data is sorted in a certain manner prior to importing. Any thoughts on why Access is not treating everything in this column as text?
Thanks,
JAB
I am building an access database to manage a data conversion from multiple legacy systems (62) to a new non access database, and plan on making my Conversion Database reusable and functionally simpler.All data is imported to one common Table structure, with the source system identified against each record.In my legacy systems values are not coded the same ie
Title: Mr Miss Ms Mrs Record Type: Active, Inactive
System A: 1, 2, 3, 4 a , i
System B: a, b, c, d 1 , 2
System C: x, y, z, w ACT, ,INA
This applies to sooo many fields.I want to avoid having a mapping table for each field as I will quickly have an unmanageable number of mapping tables, and complex relationships in Queries..I would like to get to the point where I could have a single value mapping table something as follows
System, Field, Old Value, New Value
System A, title, 1 Mr
System A, title, 2 Miss
System A, title, 3 Ms
System A, title, 4 Mrs
System B, title, a Mr
System B, title, b Miss
System B, title, c Ms
System B, title, d Mrs
And some how call this in VB to go through all fields and records in a table if Old Value is found for a specific "System" and "Field" Change to new value, if noting found on Mapping table keep existing data.
Good afternoon all,
I have a macro that I run. In this macro, I've changed the "SetWarnings" to No. This works since I do not get a "Are you sure..." when I do a makeTable query and the table already exists.
However, I do get a type conversion failure error message.
Does someone know how I click Yes on this without any intervention on my part when the macro is running? Would entering keystrokes in the macro work? I don't think that they will since the next command is not called until the previous has executed ... and I'm getting hung up on the dialog box before the make-table command has finished execution.
I've attached the error message text that I'm seeing.
Thank you for your time and help.
I keep getting conversion errors, even though my field lengths and formats seem to match up. How to pursue a diagnostic for this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into an Access 2007 database. Each time I import, Access creates a 'type conversion failure' error database.
I set up the first field in my .db to be a TEXT field because the Field will have both numeric and text characters. The field name is [estimate number] with numbers such as 656111 or 65611A being imported. All the fields with the numeric and alphabetical combination (i.e. 65611A) are not being imported (which results in the creation of the error db).
Here's my Goal: To open a saved query that has a parameter, setting that parameter via a VBA sub.
Here's my Problem: I was getting various errors, but after debugging my program a bit, it comes down to a "Data Type Conversion Error"
Here's my Code:
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qd = db.QueryDefs("qryMY_DATA")
qd.Parameters(0) = Me.txt_ReferenceID
Set rs = qd.OpenRecordset("qryMY_DATA", dbDynaset)
Code:
'*** Database Variables
Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset, gq As DAO.QueryDef, prm As DAO.Recordset
I've been all over the forums and tried several different approaches, all to no avail. The Query runs fine in the QDT, but kicks back an error when I try to run it from my sub.
Can someone look at this update statment i just wrote? It's giving an error.
i.e.
UPDATE [Upload Trades] LEFT JOIN UploadAccts ON [Upload Trades].CustAcct = UploadAccts.CustodyAccount SET [Upload Trades].Client = [uploadaccts].[client], [Upload Trades].Account = [uploadaccts].[account]
WHERE ((([Upload Trades].Account)<>[uploadaccts].[account]));
Error msg - "Operation must use an updateable query"
Thank you.
I have two identical tables with one being created by coping the structure of the other. Table A is my primary table. Table B is my new data imported table. I created a Update query with a dlookup to update Table A's address field from Table B. All records fail to append due to type conversions.
Here is the dlookup:
DLookUp("[Address]","Table_B","[ID_number] = " & [ID_number])
I need this to work and I have no idea why I am getting the conversion problem.

I'm getting records updating that are not one of the four Action Codes that I've assigned.
Help before I go crazy!
Does anyone know why I get the error "Operation must use an updateable query" when I run this query.
UPDATE Food_Table SET Food_Table.Delivery_Size = (SELECT Delivery_Size
FROM Delivery_Table
WHERE ((Delivery_Table.Region=Forms.Formulation_Combo.Re gion_Combo) AND (Delivery_Table.SubRegion=Forms.Formulation_Combo. SubRegion_Combo) AND (Delivery_Table.Segment=Forms.Formulation_Combo.Se gment_Combo) AND (Delivery_Table.Sector=Forms.Formulation_Combo.Sec tor_Combo) AND (Delivery_Table.Product=Forms.Formulation_Combo.Pr oduct_Combo)));
When I run only the sub SELECT query portion all is well, but not in the update query.
I am trying to get some of my colleagues to open a database I have created. They keep getting an error message on some of my forms:
"The expression after update you entered as the event property setting produced the following error – can’t find project or library
Expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user defined function, or event procedure
There may have been an error evaluating an event, function or macro."
What does this mean? I'm assuming it has osmething to do with the code I have in AfterUpdate events but these are only requerys for cascading combos. Example:
Private Sub cboBusiness_AfterUpdate()
Me.cboBusinessUnit.Requery
Me.cboBusinessUnit.SetFocus
End Sub
Where do I need to look to sort this? It works fine on my PC, but nobody elses.

I have a database with 10 users accessing it.
Even though the database is in share mode they get this message "Error 3218 Could not update; currently locked." when they are trying to write a new record.
Any ideas how to fix the problem?
thank you in advace!
Out IT department updated to SP2 this weekend and about half of my reports are no longer working. I cannot view, print or go into design mode. The error I am receiving is this:
There was a problem retrieving printer information for this object. The object may have been sent to a printer that is unavailable.
As soon as I change my default printer to a different one everything works normally. After talking to our IT department I received the helpful reply:
"Not at this time . This would take a lot of research to see why some reports print vs this one that will not."
After about three minutes of checking all of the affected reports are pointing to one printer. I found a way to manually fix an individual report by opening it up with a new printer set as default, saving the report and then changing the default back to the original printer. The problem is volume, this appears to be affecting about 50 or so reports.
It seems like a driver or network issue, these are network printers, but I do no have the access rights to try and fix this.
Any thoughts?
Hi All,
I am running a access db within a company with about 40 users. I have split the db for multiple users. The only way I have found to fix this problem is to ask the user to close it and reopen it but this is just a quick fix.
Is this cause by our Microsoft servers or is it cause by access. Any help would be great :D
Here is the complet error msg
Could not update; currently locked by user "Admin" on machine 'XXXXXX'
please note that the user is not logged on as "Admin" but as normally user without admin rights.
Thanks in advance.
