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.
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 ...

I 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 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

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.
I 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
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?

I have heaps of Linked Tables and the main data bases are in My Documents.
My Documents is also the shared name but I need to change it to MyDocuments as the space fouls up some other stuff.
I have a feeling I will need to delete all the linked tables and do it again.:D
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'm using the standard duplicates query on a field called trackTitle:
SELECT TrackTitles.trackTitle, TrackTitles.akTrack
FROM TrackTitles
WHERE (((TrackTitles.trackTitle) In (SELECT [trackTitle] FROM [TrackTitles] As Tmp GROUP BY [trackTitle] HAVING Count(*)>1 )))
ORDER BY TrackTitles.trackTitle;
I need to be flagged if there's a title in a different case - for example, the track "NEXT Year" might have versions appear as "Next Year" or "next year". These versions would need to be flagged and then corrected by hand.
Eyeballing a list of 4,000 new tracks isn't cutting it.
If I could get the duplication to be case sensitive, I could then use a left([trackTitle], 5) to weed down the review list - much easier to pick out the thorns.
Any ideas on how I could make that duplicates query case sensitive?
Thanks.
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 have a form with one control field that I paste a 17 digit alpha numeric value into. I have a command button that then runs a query based on the pasted value.
Is there a way to automatically change the data I paste to include the first eight characters, replace the 10th and 12th position with wild cards, and delete the remaining 6 characters ?
Example:
Copy: 1GTEM14M0WZ526688
though my actual application contains 6 tables, I will give an example with 2 to simplify my question:
Say I have a simple DB with a Company table and an Employee table....the only attributes are CompanyID (autonumber/PK) and CompanyName for the Company table and EmployeeID (autonumber/PK) and EmployeeName for the Employee table.
Now I have an excel spreadsheet with Company Names and Employee Names on a worksheet. How can I import these to both tables and keep the relationship of who works where? Keep in mind that I have 6 tables in my actual DB.
I have a data base of ip addresses. I need to come up with a way to bulk assign Host names to the available ip addresses. The only data that is the same between the two tables is a Farm Name which is the same for each record. My first query creates a temp table that lists ip addresses by farm name that do not have a host name. That is my data pool. Then I import from Excel a list of host names (with farm name) that need ip addresses. What I am not sure how to do is "Combine" the tables. Putting a Host Name with an IP address.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello im new to this forum and I just recently became involved with access so please bear with me and my many questions. I work for a mining company in Canada and we have training events. These records must be kept showing who attended and what was covered.
I have used the event template and contact template and merged them into one to I have a listing of all employees and their personal information. I have another table with events that say what was taught or shown and so forth. I am trying to figure out the best way to have them register for these events.
Right now I have right now a registration form that has the employeeID and the eventID. The problem is I would like to be able to use a list view and just select the people who attended and with the press of a button have all the registrations be completed dynamically. As right now for each person I have to create a new entry. Hope I was not too confusing, and thanks for the time. Patrick
Hi, I need help with inputting multiple values in a table
I am using below statement in asp file and it works fine, when I input one value of name in form , as it takes that value and just input into the table. If it already exists then it just displays error message that this name value already exist in table as name field has no duplicate checked. I need to input multiple records now instead of just one.
The current statement I am using is
<%
Name = replace(trim(Request("Name")),"'","''")
SQL = "Insert Into table(tableName) Values('" & Name & "')"
objCon.Execute SQL
%>
But now I want to send multiple values from the text box instead of just one value, so I need a loop here. The values in the text box are separated with enter.
Please let me know how do I run this query in loop that it will input one name first and then input the second value and then third so forth. (input multiple records instead of just one).
Can you please give me the SQL statement for ACCESS or asp querry.
thanks
How can i retrive Bulk Data - from Different database into this database table. At the moment i loop through all the records which is not good idea...i want it to be real quick without linking the table...
I heard something like Insert into statement can work but have never used one....
Hi All
I hope someone in this forum can help me with this databse issue:
I want to load text file to .mdb MS access file.
I understand that BULK INSERT is possible only when using SQL Server database - not MS Access like I do.
Can someone advice what can be done ?
Can you think of an alternate solution, which is also effective (not inserting each record one by one) ?
BTW - I'm using ADO on visual studio 6 in order to access the database (not ADO.NET).
Thanks
Hi all
I am facing disaster after two months of solid work on this database, the deadline is the morning of the 25th and just when i thought i had got it all working i then put the main bulk of the data into the database and the main search query won't work, it freezes and ends with 'invalid argument', when its the same argument as before when there was less data in it. also the relationships window is acting somewhat strangely, i cant seem to move the tables around within it, this is the same for any databases on my computer (im guessing this could be something to do with my Access on my computer)...
A quick note about the search function. it runs three queries dependent on each other, the master query runs of a sub query which runs off an inititial query (this was found to be a very good way of dealing with null values in the database). two of the the tables it runs off is a one to many relationship with the main table so not all contacts will have that variable, but i don't see why this would affect the query. in short the first query in the sequence searches for a status of a contact, then the second uses these results to search for a sub status then the final query searches for publications contacts want from the sub status query. the three tables it runs from are contacts, status(which includes substatus) and publications.
well, it really is the 11th hour here, quarter past the 11th hour to be honest. short of throwing my computer out the window and running off to a tropical island does anyone have any ideas....????
many many many many thanks in advance....

I've a table containing ebay sales information, let's simplify it...
Code:
buyer email product quantity price total Receipt Number
A Smith a.smith@acme.com gloves 1 $10.00 $10.00 1
P Brown p.brown@jones.com hat 2 $15.00 $30.00 2
After a lot of faffing about (& learning about sub reports), I've now got access producing a sales receipt from the data....it's in the form of a report (the report generated is one long continuous report, with each page in the report relating to a sales receipt number)
What I want to do now is email each page of the the report (like I say, each page is essentially an individual sales receipt) to the associated email address in bulk.
Therefore there may be 20 sales receipts in a long continuous report, how would I break them out one by one to a pdf file & send it to the correct email address which is contained against the sales receipt number in the same table?!!!
I'd like to add 600+ records at a time to a table (or at least a lot) and do this 1200 or so times. Yes, this is a very big table, its okay and the size is not an issue.
The key here is that speed is very important. I DO NOT want to AddNew and Update a recordset 700k times (one for each new record). I want to add 600 records or so 1200 or so times.
I am open to any way of doing this in VBA and/or SQL in MS Access; however, I am thinking of building an array that has 600 rows and 16 columns, then somehow add that to the table all at once. I will size the array down if it causes problems. That isn't the issue. The issue is how to add a 2d array to a table in bulk (all at once).
Code:
Sub test()
Dim dbLocal As DAO.Database
Set dbLocal = CurrentDb()
Dim sql As String
'build my array
Dim x(0 To 1, 0 To 1) As Integer
[Code] ....
I have put together a VBA sub to run Outlook.Application to send a report to selected email addresses. A Table's records contain an email addresses as well as category for grouping purposes.
I use a "Create Table Query" to extract the selected email addresses from the table into a temporary table called "ETransferAddress" then "Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("ETransferAddress")" then concatenate the email addresses separated with commas.
This works fine for small groups, but the service provider blocks them if the number of email addresses go into the hundreds.
What I need is to break the email addresses into sub groups and then create a series of emails all with the same Report, Subject and Content.
One way might be to create a series of loops to create a number of smaller tables but to string that lot together to achieve it is beyond me at present.
Here is my code to date"
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFilter As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
'Create a table with selected addresses
