Seeking Help Creating Catalog Database (text Descriptions >255 Char.)

One large problem I have is that the product descriptions are roughly 700 characters. Is there a way to have this information entered into Access and stored either in this database or elsewhere?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Mar 28, 2007I know I have seen post close to this one but not hitting what I need.
I currently have a query that is structured as such...
Service: IIf([Serv] Like '*AA*',' Bas ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*AB*','Exp ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*CA*',' Dig ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*89*',' 384 ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*8H*',' 3M ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*?5*',' 5M ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*=W*',' 10M ','') & IIf([serv] Like '*<1*',' Tele ','')
Works great except for the last IIF stmt has now been changed to look for the code *6 - not wildcard6 -
How can I get Access to realize that I need it to look for
anything to the left or right but it must find the *6
This IIf([serv] Like '**6*',' Tele ','') wont work b/c I have other codes that end in 6.
I am at a loss - any help is appreciated.

View 2 Replies View RelatedExporting Memo Field (>255 Char) Into Excel
Sep 28, 2005Hi,
I've read a bit on exporting Access fields longer than 255 characters (Memo) into Excel, and the general concensus is that it cannot be done.
All I need to do is run a report, right click the report, and select Export from the menu.
However, if it can be done using a query, any assistance or pointing in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks..

Memo Field Converts Everything After Char 255 To Special Characters
Jan 15, 2008Hello,
I have an unbound form where the user enters feedback, usually > 255 chars. When they hit the "Submit" button, an append query adds this to a memo field on a table. A memo field should be able to hold 65,000 some characters however everything after 255 turns into a special character, mostly boxes. Any ideas on how to retain the text?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Queries :: Convert 3-char Month And Year To Date
Aug 17, 2015I have 2 columns that are listed as such:
AssumptionMo AssumptionYr
MAY 2014
JUN 2015
JUL 2015
OCT 2016
I need to create a field called AssumpDate that converts the month into a date field on the 1st day of the month. ex May 2014 needs to read 5/1/2014. When I use the expression AssumpDate: DateValue("1-" & [Assumption_Month] & "-" & Year(Date())) of course the year changes to the current one--2015. How can I I change the expression so that the year is based on the AssumptionYr column?

The length of characters in the id_code is not consistent. Some id_codes are longer and some are all numeric and some don't have underscores.

Predictive Text In Fields
Aug 16, 2005I have many rows of information i am entering in access. I want to setup this spreadsheet to look at previous rows of information so when I fill one field it will automatically fill some of the other fields in the same row with the information from the rows above.
if this is not possible then I want to create a dictionary of information so if information is typed in one of the fields it will automatically populate some of the other fields on the same row.
Combine 3 Text Fields Into 1
Jul 7, 2006Hi all,
I have been given the task of cleaning up an old db. One thing I'd like to do is combine 3 text fields into 1 new field.
In the old db there was a form that included 3 memo text boxes, when the first one was full the user then started using the second and then the third. The relating Table fields are message, overflow message & overflow message extended.
I'd like to combine the fields into 1 and then design a new form to suit so that the memo text in the new db goes into 1 field only.

Text Fields On A Report
Jun 5, 2006Hi people,
I have a report that is linked to a data entry form. Is there a way to not show certain labels and text boxes if a text box on the form has the value "N/A"?
Something like:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If txtFireType = "N/A" Then
txtFireType.Visable = False
End If
End Sub
This doesn't seem to work by the way!
Really appreciate all of your help.

Counting Text Fields
Mar 6, 2005Can anyone tell me how to count (sum) text fields. My current query will search for:
1) Name
2) Ticket Number (ww*, beginning of one type of ticket)
And it works fine except that after running the query I have to manually add up how many of the ww tickets each person wrote. Is there a way to make it change the ww* tickets to a number, like 1, so that it can be added up or to add up by the persons name how many tickets they wrote. I'm using Access 2000.
Thanks

I have a field with a bunch of records. All is formatted the following:
CAN-2007-US-00001
CAN-2007-US-00002
CAN-2007-US-00003
CAN-2008-US-00001
CAN-2008-US-00002
CAN-2008-US-00003
and so on and so forth. Is there a way Acess can break the fields out? I want 1 field with CAN, 1 field with the year, 1 field with US, and 1 field with the number (4 different fields broken by the hyphen).
I can do text to column in excel before I import, but just wondering if it can be done in Access. Thanks in advance, guys...

I know how to do this if its only for one field but I am wondering if it is possible to do it with multiple fields?
