Need To Remove Hash At The Start And End Of Link Address Stored On Database
Apr 16, 2014I am using asp and database to store info for example link addresses. Unfortunately, they have become stored in database column with a # on either side. I have tried find and replace but this does not work on # symbol. It can not be stored as a hyperlink because I need my website to extract info from remote database and then display info in results page as a hyperlink.

Feb 14, 2008Hi, I am new to access. My father likes to gamble and has lists of horses he likes to check to see if they are running. He is currently using Microsoft Word and has to check each one by one. I thought if I could get the lists in to Access then it would be a lot easier. I have a field called 'Name' where I am going to put in the horses. The problem is many of the horses in his list have the country next to their name in brackets. I want to remove the brackets and their contents automatically. So if I enter 'horse (GBR)' then I want only 'horse' to be entered. How would I go about doing this. I have brackets in other fields so want this limited to the 'Name' field only. Is this possible?
Thanks :)

View 3 Replies View RelatedCan Access Remove Nonprinting Characters From Imported Data?
Jul 27, 2014I copy some information from a website and then paste/values into Excel. I noticed that some non-printing characters are copied to. Suppose I were to import this Excel spreadsheet into an Access table. Now I need to clean up/remove those non-printing characters. What is the best way to do this in Access?
I suppose I could set up a calculated column with =SUBSTITUTE([InvHours],char(160),"") as the formula, where InvHours is the field name containing the non-printing characters. But if I did this, then I would still retain the original field with the non-printing characters which would increase the size of the database. I don't think I could delete it because then the calculated column wouldn't work. So I would rather not pursue this option if possible.
Would it be possible to somehow run a macro that could automatically be triggered as soon as data is imported, and that macro would clip out the non-printing characters without having to copy anything to blank columns?
Or does Access have some built-in feature that could do this?

Modules & VBA :: Normalize Data In Array / Remove Duplicates And Import
Dec 18, 2013I have some data in an array that I need to normalize, remove duplicates, and import.
Original Table
Every record in the array has a person, all but a few have an address, most have a phone, and some have an email.
Person----- Address ----- Phone ----- Email
Tom ----- 10 A Ln ----- 789... ----- e@a
Sue ----- 20 B Ln ----- 256... ----- _____
Sam ----- 30 C Ln ----- _____ ----- _____
Dan ----- 40 D Ln ----- 478... ----- _____
Jan ----- 40 D Ln ----- 567... ----- e@d
Stu ----- 50 E Ln ----- _____ ----- _____
Syd ----- ______ ------ 224... ----- _____
New Data Structure
I want to group the data by HouseHold; which Address will serve to define for this import.
tblHouseHold
hhID
tblAddress
adrID, hhID, Address
tblPerson
prsID, hhID, Person
tblPhone
phnID, hhID, Phone
tblEmail
emlID, hhID, Email
I've been working on a procedure to step through the recordset and add the data one record at a time so I can get rid of the duplicates.
I've tried a few approaches, but this is where I'm at now.
Code:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim rsHH As DAO.Recordset
Dim rsPhone As DAO.Recordset
Dim rsEmail As DAO.Recordset
Dim rsAddress As DAO.Recordset
Dim rsPerson As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb

Reports :: Hide Subreport If No Data And Remove Blank Space
Sep 11, 2013I have a report which contains 3 subreports. Now I require to do the following:
1. Hide the subreport if there is no data.
2. Remove the Blank space created when the data in subreport is null.
I tried to Set Can Grow and Can Shrink to Yes but still the blank space was not removed.
When I reduced the height of the subreports in the design view the blank space was reduced but it was still there.
What can be done so that the complete report auto adjusts itself if any sub-report is null? Something like the whole page auto fits itself in the available space?
The option of reducing the size of sub report in design view to minimum is there but it makes the report very un-handy for future reference.

Data 'disappears' From My Database
Apr 23, 2007I inherited this database and I can't figure this out so I'm looking for some causes.
the database is in one .mdb file, the interface in another and links to the database via the linked table manager.
The tables aren't normalized, nor was there any attempt at relational integrity (Strike 1). Thats obvious
But what isn't so obvious is that data in fields just disappears, it'll get entered, verified and a couple weeks/months later, its just gone and no one claims responsibility for taking it out (and in 99% of cases, we wouldn't)
It is a multi user database but there are only 10 people in the office and I doubt more than 3 are ever connected at once. And most of the time is only one of us at a time based on our schedules.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to advise the bosses that we take the time to start over with sql server, normalize the tables and take better care of developing the forms (in .net)

Retrieving Database Data
Nov 18, 2005In my employee attendance database each record contains an employee id#, a number corresponding to an attendance infraction, and a corresponding date. Each week a clerk queries the database to pull up records for all employees who have a yearly 'total number' of infraction values over a certain numerical limit.
Any suggestions as to what is the best way to:
1 - Calculate that yearly 'total number' for every employee.
2 - Retrieve the date of the most recent attendance infraction for each employee that has a total value that is over the limit?
Thanks
Database Design And Data Entry Help..
Nov 29, 2005Greetings.. I am attempting to teach myself Access but I am having trouble trying to figure out how to implement into my database the features I need my enduser to have.
Basically I am trying to create a Contacts database and I want the "form" that my end user enters data into to look like this (all examples are minimalist because I am looking for specific logical answers to solving my problems, not field suggestions):
Name: [textbox]
Phone: [textbox]
Email: [textbox]
Now I need to have Phone and Email each in their own tables, or in some way seperated so that I can retrieve a list of emails or phones without duplicates.
My initial attempt was to create the tables:
*key
NAMEtable
*Name
Phone (related to PHONEtable.Phone)
Email (related to EMAILtable.Email)
PHONEtable
*Phone
EMAILtable
*Email
Now the problem with that setup is that I cannot create a new entry into NAMEtable unless the specific Phone AND/OR Email are ALREADY listed inside their respective tables.
What I need to be able to do is give my user the ability to use a "form" with 3 fields, that will do the following:
Allow a new Name without a Phone or Email.
Allow a new Name WITH a Phone and/or an Email.
Allow a 2 different Names to have the same Email, but pointing to only 1 instance of that email in a different table.
(which it already does all if the Email and Phone already exist in their tables, I need it to be able to create new entrys into those tables from the form if they don't already exist). I also need to be able to enter in new Emails from a different form2 that dont have any relation to any persons in Name (which isn't a problem either at the moment since I just open the Email table and enter data).
I am unsure how to execute this first forms dilema though, I am assuming my database design is fine and it has something to do with some formality or code that I am missing to be able to do what I want. If so could someone help me out and make some suggestions? Or if my design is way off and there is a better way to be able to enter and store a Name, Email, and Phone from a form that relates back to a single contact and prevents duplicates then please let me know. Thanks
Also here is another post I made in a different forum but wasn't able to get quite the answers or help I was looking for.
"Name [textbox]
Email [textbox]
if the email the user is entering isnt already in the database it will not create a new row in email.email and then link contacts.email to that specific email.email...........
for example if
contacts NAME , EMAIL
row1 = bob , email.email row1
row2 = bobswife, email.email row1
email Email
row1 = bob@bob.com
then I open a form that will have 2 members, both pointing to the same email.
1 of 2
Name: [bob]
Email: [bob@bob.com]
2 of 2
Name: [bobswife]
Email: [bob@bob.com]
Ok, lets say I go to create a new member
I can do this just fine:
Try1
3 of 3
Name: [bobsson]
Email: [bob@bob.com]
What I can't do but need to be able to do is:
Try2
3 of 3
Name: [bobsson]
Email: [bobson@bob.com]
It will return an error stating that the email isnt in the email table. I need to know how to get Try2 to do what I want so that when I enter 3 of 3 my database looks like this:
contacts NAME , EMAIL
row1 = bob , email.email row1
row2 = bobswife, email.email row1
row3 = bobsson , email.email row2
email Email
row1 = bob@bob.com
row2 = bobsson@bob.com"
Anyways.. thanks again for any help.
Pasting Data From A Spreadsheet To Database
May 23, 2006Hi there,
I have a spreadsheet which has a large amount of data. It is organised by database structure. I'm aware of primary keys etc but what I want to avoid is creating each field as new.
For example I would like to copy the fields from excel and paste them to create feilds in access. I'm aware that I would have to manually input any special parameters. This would save me a couple of hours.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Data Entry - Not Always Taking In Database

I have tried to enter the information outside the form and it still does the same thing.
Do you have any suggestions of what I can do to fix this.
