I need to loop through text files and replace the new lines following the from, to, copy and subject fields with tabs and place the associated text on the same line as the from, to, copy and subject fields.
I start out with this. See below.
From:
ABC COrp@abc.com
To:
XYZ Inc.@xyz.com
Copy:
Me@abc.com; Myself@abc.com; Irene@xyz.com
Subject:
NOthing much
I need it to be like this.
From:ABC COrp@abc.com
To:XYZ Inc.@xyz.com
Copy:Me@abc.com; Myself@abc.com; Irene@xyz.com
Subject:NOthing much
How can I do this in access?
I have a combo box that contains a list of values, but users can add their own if they choose. If the value they type in isn't on the list, the Not In List event fires. Once the procedure is done, the form inexplicably closes.
Oddly enough, it only closes under certain circumstances - the code provides several different options for saving the new data, and if I choose different options, the form works as its designed.
Further, if I insert a breakpoint anywhere in the code, then hit F5 to let the code run, the form works fine. Literally, the breakpoint can be anywhere in the procedure from the first line (On Err...) to the last line in the Exit block, "Exit Sub".
Hi, can anyone help me do this...
In my products table I have fields such as Bulletpoint1, Bulletpoint2, MainDescription etc.
Each holds part of the product description
In a seperate table I have my description templates with placeholders for the bulletpoints and maindescription. for example....
<ul><li><!-- Bulletpoint1 --></li><li><!-- Bulletpoint2 --><li></ul>
Now, for each record I want to grab the template and replace the placeholders with the real text.
I've got as far as putting this in a query...
Expr1: Replace([DescTemplates]![TemplateData], "<!-- Bulletpoint1 -->", [Products]![Bulletpoint1])
That does the job nicely or the first bulletpoint but where from there? There must be a neater way than having a load of query columns each updating the last. ie.
Expr2: Replace([Expr1], "<--Bulletpoint2 -->", ...
Expr3: Replace([Expr2],...
Or is that the simplest way of doing it?
Cheers!
Here are the 2 tables that I am working with:
Account
Account
0041980041
0051670051
0052330052
0053490053
Conversion
Account Conversion
0041 10000151
0051 10000152
0052 10000153
0053 100001524
I need to update the Account table using the Conversion table by replacing the first 4 digits in the Account table with the Conversion value. For example, the first record should be updated from 0041980041 to 10000151980041.
I'm familiar with writing a replace query to replace characters or strings but what I'm trying to do this time is a bit unique to me. I have a string of numbers that will either be 8 or 9 digits in length. The first 1 or 2 digits will be the State code (1-50 hence the discrepancy in number of total digits), then a 2 digit agency code, then the last 5 digits are a producer code. What I need to do is change the 2 digits for the agency part both to 0. So basically characters 6 and 7 if you're counting from the right. To me it feels like I'm trying to do it backwards so I'm having a hard time writing it.

When I get it from Excel into Access is there a way to replace the space with an underscore in Access? I know I can do it in Excel, but I need that Excel file the way it is for other purposes.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a list of consumables;
Syringe 50ml
Syringe 20ml
Syringe 5ml
Syringe Cap
White Needle
I want to remove only the number and the ml part from the list, so I would end up with;
Syringe
Syringe
Syringe
Syringe Cap
White Needle
If I use
PHP Code:
Replace([DrugNameVial],"50ml","")
I get the desired result for the 50ml syringe size.
I have tried every possible combination of "**ml", "##ml", "Like [0-9]ml all with no success.
How this can be resolved without having to individual enter each syringe size "5ml", "20ml" etc
I can't even just take the text from the right till the first space as this would lead to problems with other consumables in the list.
Hello,
I have a macro that I used to import data into my database.
I use the transfertext action with the following specifications:
TRANSFER TYPE: Import Fixed Width
SPECIFICATION NAME: MYSPEC
TABLE NAME: MYTABLE
FILE NAME: \S0000FTESTMYFILEFILE.txt
The macro also contains and ECHO Yes after that event.
Is there a way I can write the above with code and not use the macro? I would like to add this code on a cmdbutton.
Thanks.
I am looking for a way of creating the following:
I want to be able to click a command button and have it prompt the user for input.
Then take the input and replace all cases of NA with that string in field B for all records.
I would prefer to have no other prompts other that the user input and a success msg box.
Can this be done?
Hi,
My company has renamed a product. I want to find all the records in all the tables in my database that might have the old name, and replace with the new name. What's the easiest way to do this?
I don't really want to have to manually open each table and do a find.
I can write code to go through all the tabledefs and do a find on each one, but the only way I know to do that is by telling it the field name, and field names where the product name might exist vary.
I suppose I can tell it something like
for each TD in tabledefs
for each F in td.fields
{search and replace}
next f
next t
Is this really the best way? I have a program called SpeedFerret, which I thought would do this, but it apparently only searches the table names, not the actual records in the table.
We have a spreadsheet that i upload onto a table, i use on of the fields to build a file path but if there is a special character it causes problems,i need to replace the below with spaces if they are in my field called path

: (colon)
" (double quote)
/ (forward slash)
(backslash)
| (vertical bar or pipe)
? (question mark)
* (asterisk)
. (full stop)
, (commer)
how i can do this in some sort of update query.
How do I direct the ZipFilePath and ZipFolderPath to use a directory I define in a textbox in a form? Instead of hard code like it is now?

I have a database that I've split and have deployed to 7 persons.
The thing is, I have three (3) forms:
Form 1
Form 2
Form 3
...that require changing a portion of a line in each form's respective VBA codes. I need to change the directories to where an excel workbook is stored after exporting, and another is where same excel is moved to after being uploaded.
At the moment, during deployment I have to manually change the directories.
I was thinking of maybe a pop-up form with four (4) fields that allows the user to select his/her name at the start-up of their frontend app, and paste the directories in the other text boxes provided.
This information will then be used to replace the directories in the VBA.
If I were to make changes and have to redeploy, I would have to do everything manually again.
I have a form that has a subform on it. The main form shows a category of furniture and has custom navigation buttons and a search text box for asset numbers and command button that runs the search. The subform shows the asset numbers associated with that furniture category, sometimes there is only one asset number, in other cases there could be 60. There is a scroll bar to scroll through the asset numbers when there are too many to see in the initial window.
The buttons all work as they should except when I search for an asset number that is part of a category that has too many asset numbers to show in the main window. When this happens the "previous" and "next" navigation buttons do not take you to the previous or next record. All of the other buttons on the form work though - you can go to the first, or the last record, and you can search for a new asset.This is the code for the search:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAssetSearch_Click()
Dim rs As Object
If IsNull(Me.TextAsset) Or Me.TextAsset = "" Then
MsgBox "Please type in an asset number to search for.", vbOKOnly
Me.TextAsset.SetFocus
[code]....
I've also attached a picture of what I mean when I say there are more asset numbers than what the window shows.
I have a DB and I have a button that triggers the find and replace. this will search over 100K entries and filter a specific client. The clients record can be 100's of entries.
This all works fine, but its always ascending and I have to scroll to the bottom for the latest record.
I can't set it to show Descending permanently as some employees can't cope with change. so...
I have a checkbox on my form for either Ascending or descending results. Is there any way I can get the find / replace to reference it, Or can I re-sort them after the search.
I've tried putting re-sort code on the 'find' button as lostfocus and mouseup but it doesn't work.
I have a column called CPU_S within a table called workstation that contains sample text like P111 933

I'm trying to create a query that searches the string in a field, for a substring that the user specifies when the query is run. This is the SQL code:
SELECT tblStatement.Date, tblStatement.[Payment Type], tblStatement.Details, tblStatement.[Paid Out], tblStatement.[Paid In]
FROM tblStatement
WHERE (((tblStatement.Details) Like "**"))
ORDER BY tblStatement.Date;
between those two asterixes on the WHERE line, I'd like a string that the user has been prompted for. I've tried this:
WHERE (((tblStatement.Details) Like "*[Enter a String]*"))
But that fails to work, I guess because its in quotations. If I simply had Like [Enter a String], then I get the prompt, but I'll need to enter a string which exactly matches what I am looking for. In other words, I need a query which will search say, "abcdefg" for the user defined input: "abc", which will return that result. I just dont know how to get this to work :s
I am trying to add 30 or 45 days to a certain date and insert that date in a table. The field is declared as datetime on the SQLServer and has been tried with all date formats, and none, on the access side.The problem I am encountering is that the date is being inserted as 12:00:00 in the table, no date is being stored.When I print out the SQL statement to the immediate window, the date in question shows the correct date.
Code:
Dim a As Date
Dim b As Date
a = DateAdd("d", 45, Me.DateOfExit)
b = DateAdd("d", 30, Me.DateOfExit)
strSQL = "INSERT INTO MyTable ( No, Name,DueDate, OriginatedBy, ID, Status) " & vbCrLf & _
"VALUES (" & Me.No & ",'" & Me.Name & "', " & b & ", '" & Me.Facilitator & "', " & Me.ID & ", '" & "Required" & "');"
I have tried adding the date add code to the SQL string, but that produced the same result.
I've got a string variable with a value that could be typically
"ABCD|123|R"
The string needs to be split into its three parts, the pipe symbol being the separator. Then the middle numeric string must be converted back to a long.
I know i could do a loop which identifies each character in turn, but my question is:
Is there a VBA function that can pick out the position in the string of the "|" characters, so i dont need a loop ?
I have been hunting around to find exactly what I need but cant seem to find it...
what I need is a way to do a string search within a particular field (surname) and then filter by that string?????
Any ideas or point me to the right thread will be much appreciated.
I have a table containing names. Unfortunately, the first and middle name are in the same field, and not all have middle names. I need to separate them out in a report. Is it possible to search the field and break at the first space?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
I would like to use code to change the connection string for linked tables in my front end database. I have tried using the connection property of the TableDefs collection, this seems to work while I step through the code but does not change the existing connection property. Any suggestions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this working query:
