Just been searching around, found a few posts of uppercase questions, none that quite fit with mine, anyway,
Basically, the data I am working on produces names as such "JoeBloggs" "FredPerry"
Anyway, Im going to use a query to seperate these out into first name and last name, but, I can't seem to find a way to specify a capital letter as a wild card. So far:
CapPos: InStr(2,[calllogs]![CalledNumber],"A")
Then I am going to use the mid function to seperate the two, depending on the position of the first capital letter.
But I just need to replace "A" with something that will find any capital letter.
Hi, Is it possible to filter out entries beginning with a capital letter with a query? Ive tried Like UCase, but that doesn't work, and there is no upper case wild card. (I am creating a book index and want to have a look only at the entries that are people's names)
I have a field in the table that contains numbers and a mix of upper and lower case words.
I would like to have this to it check for numbers and then makes the first letter in a word upper case and the remainder lower case.
I know you can do it like this >L<????????? but that dow not work if the word lengths are different. Unless I am missing soemthing.
Example of text in field is this:
100 RCSCC MAJOR PAIN
I would like the RCSCC to remain in UPPERCASE and then move to the next work and change the first letter to UPPER CASE and the remaining letters lower case then repeat this on the next word if there is one in the field.
Hi All, I want to change existing entries in a table to upper case format. I know that it is possible with a query (update I suppose) using an expression with the "UPPER" function. But I am not quite sure how to implement it in Access. A little help would be welcome...
I have a database containing a mixture of upper and lower case input. I can make upper case appear on the screen by using > in the format box in the property section for each field. This works great but the same old uncorrected stuff remains on the database. How can I get the database to store the corrected upper case data after I have entered it in lower case?
I have a small issue where I do have names written in UPPER CASE, I would like to transform them in Capitalized (each word), I understand that I cannot use the same function as in excel (PROPER) but something like StrConv, but as I do have a ‘comma’ in between the names I have something like that
Trying to filter a form based on a field with wildcard. My form has a txtCustFilter control where a customer's name can be entered in part or whole. The Customer's name is in PCCustomerName
This code works but, I'd like to make it case insensitive
Dim strFilter As String strFilter = "[PCCUSTOMERNAME] LIKE ""*" & Me.txtCustFilter & "*""" Me.Filter = strFilter Me.FilterOn = True
I know when creating a text field in the format option you can use the > or < sign so that when text is entered it automatically changes it to uppercase or lowercase - but i need it to be Title Case, any one know how I can do this....
Is there a way to minimize the navigation pane and the upper tabs on start up? I have several big forms that don't seem to fit unless these are minimized.
How do I put an upper limit on the amount of time allowed in a date/time field?
For example - during a heart procedure a person is exposed to radiation, it will never be more than a total time of 10 minutes. I want to know how much, but I want data integrity so I don't want them to be able to enter more than 10 minutes.
i'm tryin to create one that if i search for like let say "brisbane" it would show the results of the complete spelling, but let say if i was to just type "b" or "bris" it would show u a list of "B" towns or matching words of "bris".
I have a field in a table that has the following data in it:
W-01-2005 W-02-2005 W-03-2005 W-04-2005 etc..
I created a query against this table and put a pop-up on this field so they can enter the search criteria needed, or leave blank for all.
I'd like to modify this pop-up code to ignore the W- and -2005. When the pop-up appears and asks them what week they want, I'd like for them just to enter 01 or 02 or 03 etc... not W-01, W-02 etc..
im having problems getting a subform to calculate another subform's total and display it as it keeps coming up with the #NAME?.Basically my database is like this
tblCustomer - tblOrders - tblItems
and this is displayed on a form. so you can flick through clients, then flick through the orders and its broken down into the items inside each order.i have seen many answers that are only about calculating something on a subform and displaying on a form but this does not work when displaying on a 'parent' subform. the form structure looks like this
i have a calculated control textbox in the footer of sFrmCustomerOrders with sums up all the prices using =sum([Price])and in my sFrmCustomerItems, i have a field called Amount (the total amount of all the items) and the Control Source formula i was using was =[Forms]![sFrmCustomerOrders]![sFrmCustomerItems]![txtTotalPrice] but i get a #NAME? error.
I am running a query that links to a "wildcard" form so that the user can basically run a query filtered on any field they want.
For some reason when I try to use wildcards along with Criteria in my query the query will not return any results. I know the link to the textbox is right because if I take out the wildcard and put an exact word from the table I get a result.
I have tried using many different combinations inclusive of the following:
Like [Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name] Like "[Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name]" "[Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name]" [Forms]![Refurb-WildcardReport]![RefurbWildcard-Name]
Any help would be appreciated, as always thank you ahead of time.
I have several queries looking up products from a table. I use a simple form to access the query and in the criteria of the field I use [Forms]![EnterCroft]![ProductName] to filter by name. (EnterCroft is the name of the form).
It works fine but doesn't like the asterisk (*) for all products.
I also want to use wildcard before and after key words in the product names, eg *cup* for anything with CUP in it's name.
ok in access 2003 i have tried everything to get the Like "*oak*" to work but to all fail it replaces "Like" with "ALike" i have tried to find some info on this but have not it seams like something easy i wanted to do.
SELECT MainData.ModelName FROM MainData WHERE (((MainData.ModelName) ALike "*oak*"));
some reason it wont find all data with "oak" in it just returns empty
this is like query 101 but for some reason it has stumped me, along with one other problem but i am still researching that one.
This is making me mad now :mad: i want a query to search for what a user inputs into the query. but for example if i seach in a field wheres there is one or more words in it. eg. I want to search my table for a address (60 donnington road etc) so in the user input box i type "donnington" but i get no results even though it should find "60 Donnington Road"
code i used. [Please enter address] now where does the wild card go?!?!
