Break Up A Single Field Address
Mar 2, 2007
I am a struggling low level user and any help will be appreciated. I’m trying to get data out of an old database and into a new one. The following addresses will give you some idea as to what my problem is. :confused:
I would like to break up the following single field address (Note the different pieces of data.
Washington Blvd 1407
Jefferson ST 234 N
Benjamin Ave 2105 N #1
Lincoln Cir 1407 N Unit 201 (Notice the space after Unit)
and have it look like this
Field one: 1421
Field two: N,S,E or W
Field three: BENJAMIN ST, Ave, or etc
Field four: Anything left over
If you can help, please talk very slow and loud cus I'm old and not too bright. I have limited experience with Instr, Mid, Left and Right functions, but can never seem to get them to work in a SQL statement I think I need to use multiple append queries but I’m guessing and then how do I get all the pieces into one table. :o
Thank you in advance

Hi!
1. If accidently a record or two in a sequence are deleted, how will you know that this has happened! What type of validation can be enforcedto prevent this?
2. How do you make your Tables, Quries, Forms, Reports, Macro tamper proof?
Please help!

-How can I address the fields on my forms? I just want to create a button that increases a value by one on click.I tried
FORMNAME.FIELDNAME = FORMNAME.FIELDNAME + 1
FIELDNAME = FIELDNAME + 1
FORMNAME!FIELDNAME = FORNAME!FIELDNAME + 1
but the button does nothing. And that is all I found by googling.
-How to focus a field at the beginning? I want to be able to start writing always in the same field.
FIELDNAME.SetFocus
does not work. I dont know if I made any mistake during creating tables and forms, but these codes should actually work, shouldnt they?

Hope you can help!
I have an access table which lists a customers address, however, if the customer has a temporary address it will also list that on a separate line -
CustID Address Type
1234 5 The Street P
1234 12 The Street T
2345 13 The Road P
3456 12 The Avenue P
Where P = Permanent and T = Temporary
I want to set up a query to show the permanent address where there is only one address, but where the customer has a temporary address also, I want to list the temporary one instead.
Thanks

Hi,
I have an address field currently formatted 1 Streetname, city, post/zip code it is displayed on a form within a multi-line textbox. I'd like to change the commas to a line return so it will display
1 streetname
city
postcode
I was thinking that a small macro might go through each record and change the comma to a line return? But not sure where to start exactly?
many thanks in advance. Harry

If I have a set of address fields looked up by a customer ID number, how can I get acess to copy them into a shipping address field, which can allow the address to be altered if delivery is needed to an address which differs from the billing address?
The example I have seen is in the Northwind sample database on access but I cannot see how to replciate this in my database. I have the shipaddress shipcity etc in the orders relation and the customer as usual in the customer relation.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
I am nearing the endgame of a FE/BE app. The FE will sit on various PC's across a LAN. IS there a way that when a user opens a record (via a form) on his FE (on his PC), the IP addy of that PC will be automatically entered into a hidden field on the form and store it in a purpose specific field on the BE table.
So I guess my question is how do I get the IP into a field on a table? Either "default" in the table, or via a field on a form? And what would the syntax for such an auto-populate be?
Thanks

Designing a table of companies.
Need a field containing the website adresse for each company.
MS-Access 2013 does not offer such a field format.
On a form I can create it, click on it and it will open the website.
But that way it opens the same website instead of different websites for different companies.
I tried the hyperlink format but it did not work.

I created a report to print out a letter that will be sent to all of our clients. In the address section of the letter there are two field for adresses...Address1 and Address2. One is for a street address and the other for a PO Box. Not all of the clients have a PO Box and for these, I do not want the blank line to show in the address. For example:
John Doe
3 Main Street
Franklin, MA 02038
The field and section of the report are set to "can shrink" and "can grow", but it still gives me a blank line in the address for the clients that do not have a PO Box. What else do I have to do?

I have a form bound to a table which stores contact info for a person. I have two controls that are email_address and website_address. I set them both as hyperlinks.
So now when the user clicks on the email_address Outlook opens a new message with an email_address in the To field. (I had to use a function found on this forum to replace the "htttp" with "mailto" on AfterUpdate event in order for this to work properly.) However, now trying to add some other features to my DB I ran into problems listed below. I wonder if I should have rather left that control as Text instead of Hyperlink, and use the DoCmd.SendObject on doubleclick event instead of using the above solution.
How people usually store email addresses and enable emailing on click?
The problems I ran into:
1) My main form is in popup mode and therefore right click on the hyperlink does not give an option to edit the hyperlink
2) I copied a function from this forum which gathers a list of emails and sends one message to the emaillist. However, my email list instead of generating as:
email1@a.com; email2@b.com
it generates as:
email1@a.com#mailto:email1@a.com#; email2@b.com#email2@b.com#
I guess I could extract the email using vba (not sure how), but I still don't know how to solve issue number 1. So maybe it is better to siwtch the field to plain text and forget the hyperlinks?
Thanks,
Mariusz
PS. What procedure on double click would open a default browser, since I also have to deal with web addresses and thought of turning them into text controls?

I have vba code set up to automate a query output to email with outlook. I am having issues with the "TO" field. I have tried different types of code, such as the following:
1) MyMail.To = MailList.Fields("EmailAddress")
2) MyMail.To = MailList.Fields("EmailAddress") & ";"
Both of these work, but the issue I am having is the "TO" field in the outlook message looks like this:
admin@blahblah#mailto:admin@blahblah#
Why my code is adding the email address twice, I need to get rid of the #mailto:admin@blahblah# but I do not know how or why it keeps adding that end part.

I have a datase that has the following fields.
Name
Comment1
Comment2
I have about 36 names and each of those names appears anywhere from 2 7 times each. Each name entry has a comment1 and a comment2.What I would like to do is create a form that allows me to choosea name and the display the comments 1 and comments 2 in text boxes.
I have made the form to allow me to choose a name and it shows one of the comment1 and one of teh comment2 in the adjacent text boxes as planned but, I want all the comment1s for Bob to show in the text box for comment1 and all of the comment2s for Bob to show in the Comment2 text box.I believe I need to concatenate the results in the comment1 and comment2 boxes, but I do not know where or how I would do that.

Hi all. I'm working on a temporary database (Access 2003) for work until we get our system validated. Is it okay or acceptable to have a single-field table or do I need to throw an autonumber on there for the key? I really just need this table to populate a combobox/listbox in the form. I don't want to to use the "OnNotinList" with the combobox so I need to store them somewhere. Thanks!

I am trying to create a form with a button attached to each record that would allow the user to click the button and it would automatically open outlook and fill in the TO:, SUBJECT: and BODY: fields. Here is the code that I currently have:
Code:
Private Sub Command33_Click()
Dim strEmail As String
Dim strMsg As String
Dim oLook As Object
Dim oMail As Object
Set oLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set oMail = oLook.CreateItem(0)
[code]...
There are two issues I keep running into:
1. This code opens outlook and populates all of the fields but pastes the email incorrectly. Instead of pasting just the email (email@email.com) it pastes the html tags as well (email@email.com#mailto:email@email.com#) which means that the user would have to delete everything between the #'s in order to send the email every time.
2. I currently have the email BODY pulling from a table but this obviously limits what I can do. I would like to simply encode the BODY within the VBA code. The setup I am looking for is:
one paragraph
a blank line
a hyperlink to a website
a blank line
another paragraph

[Day3] March 3
New Table

Can you help me figure out how to accomplish this? I greatly appreciate your time and sharing of any thoughts that you have on this situation.

Hi, this is my first post here.
My question is this: I am creating a database for a student survey. Some of the questions may have multiple answers.
For instance, question 2 reads:
"What location/time are you taking courses (select all that apply)"
and the possible answers are:
1)Daytime/Oakland
2)Evening/Oakland
3)Saturday College
4)BC
- Where a student could be taking classes at multiple locations or times. I am completely lost as to how to set this up. I have tried to set the properties for the field on the form to accept multiple responses, but of course, these do not save to the table and so it's completely useless.
Thank you in advance for your help!!!

Hi,
I have a product table in Access, like this:
product_id | product_name | product_quantity
I need to be able to do an SQL update on this table to subtract 1 from the product_quantity field.
I could do this with two SQL queries (SELECT product_quantity, then subtract 1, then UPDATE table) but I'm sure there must be a way just to run one query which subtracts 1 from the field.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Any help would be fantastic, thanks!

I want to be able to perform an AND search on a field where both specified values must be present for an item to be selected.
I have a table with some properties of items. Each record in the table is for a specific item and one of its properties. Say for instance that I want to list the items that are described with both "red and green". Assume that there are entries for widgetA to widgetG with colors "red, blue, yellow, purple" and widgetB and widgetE also has the property "green" in addition to the others ... the query should return widgetB and widgetE only.
I tried to use MSAccess 2003 query builder but cannot get the AND result to work. I switched to an OR and verified that the two values I am searching for do exist for two items in my table.
Here is the SQL statement that did not work.
SELECT Properties.PropertyIndex, Properties.HerbOilLink, Properties.PropertyTypeIndex, Properties.PropertyDescriptionIndex
FROM PropertyType INNER JOIN Properties ON PropertyType.PropertyTypeIndex = Properties.PropertyTypeIndex
WHERE (((Properties.PropertyDescriptionIndex)=80 And (Properties.PropertyDescriptionIndex)=15));

Sorry for this totally stupid question but my memory is just not what it once was.
I need to separate one field into two, in a table that was imported from excel
Basically it has a size and a unit in each field
Example:
24.67 sy
26.84 sf
Thanks in advance for jogging an old man's memory.
I want to do this in a query not code if possible I remember something about a formula you can enter into the update to box in a saved query.

To anyone who can help,
I have created a function that loops through an amount of records and concatenates them into a single comma-separated string. What I would like to do is concatente the values into a list. Instead of:
value1, value2, value3
I would like to see
value1
value2
value3
This needs to be in a single record only. The code I am using is:
----------------------------
while not rec.eof
string = string & ", "
rec.movenext
wend
string=left(string,len(string)-2)
--------------------------------
Thanks for all your help. I have tried to insert char(20), but this only seems to work in Excel. Access gives me invalid char symbol.
