Is there away to change what is in the table field [surname] to the first letter being upper case and the remaining letters lower case.
Thanks
Sorry I found it. Just in a little rush.. Should have looked harder.
Is there any way of making data that is inputted in lower case to automatically change to the first letter of each word being a capital ...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Thanks for all your help.
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?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI need to convert an entire table to lower case..
The table happens to only have one column in it, so each record only has one field..
How do I convert the entire thing to lower case?
I can not just convert the display info to lower case, this table is used as a cross-reference data table and I need to physically convert all the data in the entire table to lower case.
Oh, and I need this to be a macro of some sort, since the data is re-imported on a regular basis, and will re-convert to upper case on the import.
Thanks,
Bill
Hi All, A quick question..
Is there a quick way to change about 5000 primary keys fields from lower case to uppercase?
Thanks Anna :)
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 supply data to our customer for their system, a single table listing 1.9 millon records. 1 of the 7 fields is unique but the rest in the table can contain duplicated data.
My problem is caplial letters vs lower case.
How can I query my table to find just the mixed and lower case versions of for example "BIRMINGHAM" ie "birmingham" or "Birmingham". My customers system is rejecting the Data due to some lower case entries.
:confused:Any help appricated

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)
many thanks
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.
Cheers
hi i have lots of postcodes in various access tables i pasted in from excel..
such as... e1,e3,e5,n1,n11
i need to make all the postcode letters capital like this E4,E5,N12...
without using find and replace.. is there any way in excel or access to change them in bulk because it will take far to long manually.
When I type the first letter I into the search text area I get the following error
Run-time error '2110'
Microsoft Access can't move the focus to the control SearchResults
Most of the code is below
QRY-SearchAll
SELECT Clients.ClientId, Clients.ClientFileNumber, Clients.ClientShortFileNo, Clients.Salutation, Clients.FirstName, Clients.LastName, [Group Branches].BranchCode, Clients.Phone, Clients.Mobile, Clients.Fax, Clients.BpayRef, Clients.TradingAs, Clients.EntityType, Clients.ABN, Clients.ACN, Clients.Address1, Clients.Address2, Clients.Town, Clients.State, Clients.PostCode, Clients.Country, Clients.Email, Clients.ClientGroup, Clients.DateCreated, Clients.Notes, Clients.LastModified, Clients.UserCode, Clients.BdmCode, Clients.CollLongNo, Clients.CollShortNo,
[Code] ....
what do I do so that when I type into a field the first character becomes an Upper case automatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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
Code:
StrConv(Left(Tbl_Telephony_Temp.Agent, InStr(Tbl_Telephony_Temp.Agent, ",")-1), 3)&", "&StrConv(Mid(Tbl_Telephony_Temp.Agent, InStr(Tbl_Telephony_Temp.Agent, ",") + 1), 3) AS CompleteName
Which as you can see is quite a complex statement, how can I simplify it?
Example of a name: VITOR, FONSECA, preferable output, Vitor, Fonseca
I have a problem with my database. When I'm writing in my data to the database via the forms, the data isn't in the correct order when I start the database up again. Its mixed up. I am using 6 tables and combining data. Why?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am combining fields one that has apostrophe's and the other does not. exp "if this field is null use data from this field (which does not have an apostrophe) otherwise use current field (which has apostrophe)
"red"
blue
orange
"yellow"
How can I change that in the query without changing the previous query to
"red"
"blue"
"orange"
"yellow"
I have strings of names in a calculated field named [CurrentDelReverse] that are separated by spaces, but some strings have 2 names and some strings have 7 names.
They look like this:
tjcrane becca002
shiel001 donohue ekaler
jpohl jhalling jsleifer laerwin chan ekaler
I need to separate the names, but I only need the first two names in two separate fields.
I am able to capture the first name with no problem using:
Delegatee: Left([CurrentDelReverse],InStr([CurrentDelReverse]," "))
My problem is trying to grab the second name in the list to show in a new column.
I have tried so many different things and the closest I got to solving it was:
Delegator: Trim(Mid([CurrentDelReverse],InStr(1,[CurrentDelReverse]," ")+1,IIf(InStr(InStr(1,[CurrentDelReverse]," ")+1,[CurrentDelReverse]," ")=0,0,InStr(InStr(1,[CurrentDelReverse]," ")+1,[CurrentDelReverse]," ")-InStr(1,[CurrentDelReverse]," "))))
This returned the second name in the list but ONLY if it had more than two names in the string.
hi
help is needed yet again :-)
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....
I am trying to change all the fields of a table from All Caps to Propercase. I have used strconv propercase before, however only on a field by field basis. I have about 5 or tables that I have to do this to and am trying to save the typing. I know I can do this with a recordset (easily in asp), but am not familar enough to do this in vba. Can you do a for each fld, like in asp, or am I going at this the totally wrong way. I tried using an update query with the *, but access doesn't like that too much. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh
I'm creating a fairly basic case management system in Access 2007 and i'm wanting a way of populating a set of tasks when a case is created...
e.g.
I have a case table, which contains basic information about the case, case manager, ID, date created etc.
I've also got a task table with a list of tasks
When i create a new case I want it to pull in the list of tasks from the task table, the tasks are static so i wouldnt want them to update the task table but update progress on the tasks against the case.
Do i need another table for like casetasks where it populates the blank tasks and then they're updated with an ID linked back to the Case.
table name : Schedule
Field 1 = Vessel code
Field 2 = Voyage
Field 3 = ETA
Field 4 = berthed
Field 5 = Sailed
there is a query by using above table and data entry form based on that query.
need to add following facilitate
While data entering, if given voyage number is already exist for the particular vessel code, msg should be pop up immediately at that time saying " This voyage number is already exist"
How could this be manage ?
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.
