Can someone tell me if this can be done somehow.
I have a date field, ID field and a memo field (I have to have this memo field).
I want to compare the memo fields by two certain dates and find out what doesn't match and if the ID field is blank. I have been trying with quaries but no luck.
I am not sure what forum this would fall under so I put it in general. feel free to move.
Hello,
I have 2 tables:
tblProviders
ProviderName
ProviderAddress
ProviderType
LocationCode
FacilityType
Etc...
tblFacilityType
ProviderType
Location
FacilityType
In tblFacilityType, the FacilityType field is a combonation of ProviderType and Location. Each of those fields are alphanumeric. What I want to do is have the FacilityType field in the the tblProviders table to look at the Location and the ProviderType fields in the tblFacilityType table to determine what the FacilityType field in the tblProviders table should be.
Hope that is understandable.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Need to compare 2 fields in a query, and return the larger of the 2 values in a 3rd field.
As in:
Field A=10 Field B=6 I need Field C to = 10.
Field A=5 Field B=6 I need Field C to = 6.
Hi there
This is probably quite easy but I cannot make it work so would appreciate some help. I have a table containing vehicle information. I have 2 fields, Current Mileage and Max Mileage. I want to do a comparison of the 2 fields and should the Current Mileage be greater than the Max Mileage, the query returns the Vehicle Registration. Test data has been entered in the table I am querying and I was expecting 1 value to be returned. However the query as I wrote returned either all the vehicle Registrations or none of them. Can someone help with this please.
Thanks in advance for the assistance

I have a field called Badge_Number in Table A.
I have a field called Badge_Number in Table B.
In Table A Badge_Number has entries 101, 102, 103, 104, 105
In Table B Badge_Number has entries 102, 103
How can I do a query to get a list of entries that are in A but that are not in B. (Query result would be 101, 104, 105)
This is the only thing I have to do in Access, so after trying to learn this for a while, I have decided it would be much easier to get help at this time.
Have devloped a database to log all support issues for an application I work with.
I periodically update the database by importing from another database
for example my main table tbl_issues has fields IR_NO, DESCRIPTION and STATUS
I then import data from tbl_import which also has these fields. The following query works fine:
UPDATE tbl_support
SET tbl_support.STATUS = tbl_import.STATUS
WHERE tbl_support.STATUS <> tbl_import.STATUS
AND tbl_support.IR_NO = tbl_import.IR_NO
However I also want to do this at the same time:
UPDATE tbl_support
SET tbl_support.DESCRIPTION = tbl_import.DESCRIPTION
WHERE tbl_support.DESCRIPTION <> tbl_import.DESCRIPTION
AND tbl_support.IR_NO = tbl_import.IR_NO
How do I update both fields at the same time?
Hello..
In one of my tables I have a field with the following characteristics:
Listbox
row source: SELECT Category.CategoryID, Category.Category FROM Category ORDER BY Category.CategoryID;
row source type: table/query
bound column:2
column count: 2
This gives the user the opportunity to see the category as well as the categoryID when choosing, however once selected only the CategoryID (which is a number) is visible.
I would like to put the same option on one of my forms, but Im not succeeding at this. How can I do this? Is this possible?
This leads me to my next question: If I want to load the information from the form and compare it in VBA with the one from the table, is it seen as a number or a string?
I hope it is clear..
Any thoughts on how to deal with this??
Thank u..

Text fields name:
Password
confirmpassword
Trying to achieve:
on "After update" event for Confirm password a code needs to find if both Passoword and confirmpassword are having the exact character (Case sensitive).
Below code doesn't recognize the Case. It allows as long as both words are same:
Dim StrString1, strString2 As String
StrString1 = Password
srtString2 = ConfirmPassword

I would like to change the colour of field on a form if the date in that field is later than the date in another field.

I work in mental health, and when we put in a request for a consumer to receive PSR & BST services, we put the above information into our database. Each record identifies which consumer the authorization is for, a start date and end date for them to receive services, and the amount of two types of services (PSR and BST). When one period ends, we request another period, such as in the first three records above, and then the final 2 for another consumer.
What I need to be able to tell is how their service authorizations change. For instance, if I were to compare the first and second records, it would tell me that PSRunits decreased 4/22/13-7/21/13 from 1/21/13-4/21/13 levels.
I have a query that displays the records for each consumer for the current period, but I can't figure out how to identify the previous period's number of PSRUnits or BSTUnits.I've tried adding the following fields, but this isn't working.
PrevEnd: (Select Max(AuthEnd) from tblAuthorizations Where AuthEnd < Auths.[AuthStart])
PrevBST: DLookUp("[BSTUnits]","tblAuthorizations","AuthEnd=" & [PrevEnd] And "ConsumerID=" & [ConsumerID])
I'm trying to create a query that will compare the data in 3 fields in a record, choose the largest (I also have a criteria to order by if more than 1 field has the same entry and it's the largest of the 3), and then group by that.The fields I will need are as follows:
PRODUCT table:
ProductName
Chemical
ChemicalAbstract
PhysicalState
NFPAHealth
NFPAFlammability
NFPAReactivity
qryQuantityOnHand query (which doesn't link directly to the PRODUCT table, it links through associations with other tables):QOH...I will eventually need information from another table for the final reports, but I don't think it has to be included in this query.
The fields NFPAHealth, NFPAFlammability, and NFPAReactivity each may be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4...I need to ignore blanks; if 1 of the above fields is blank, they will all be blank.For any record, I need to compare the number in those 3 fields to each other, and choose the largest number and group by that rating.
In other words, if the largest of the 3 numbers is a 3 in the NFPAFlammability field, all those products need to be grouped together.If the same number appears in at least 2 of the fields, the order that determines the grouping is: Flammability, then Health, then Reactivity..Ultimately the report will be grouped as follows:
Flammability
Rating 4
Product 1
Product 2
Product 3
Rating 3
Product 1
Product 2
Product 3
Rating 2
Product 1
Product 2
Product 3
Health
Rating 4
Product 1
Product 2
Product 3
[code]....
and each of the groups will be sub-totalled.I'm stumped at trying to create the query in the first place.The added aggravation here is that we are dealing with 23 stores, each with their own mix of products. I have another table that contains the information about which products are in which store.
Hi All,
This is probably the simplest question to answer but alas I can't find the answer in any of my books!
I have a memo field which when made into the form is for a comments box (therefore has to be a memo box). However, the end user wants to be able to type in the comments and have this is paragraphs but of course the field doesn't want to do it.
I've tried various commands in the properties and also in the formats etc. and now I'm at a loss - can someone please give me some much needed guidance, and I really am sick of looking at this database and would like to get rid of it!
Thanks in advance guys.

How can you use a memo field in a combo box.
How can you edit a memo field used by the combo box once it has been selected in a form.
I have a memo field in my database, as the data is too long to be a text field. The data in this field has been pasted in from other sources, and somehow it seems to have remembered the original pasted formatting, which was like a newspaper column. So when I include this field on a report, I get a thin column of text, even though the text box on my report is much wider. Is there a way of getting the text from my memo field to wrap to fill the width of my text box, so I get a neat-looking report. Thanks.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been asked if is possible to highlight some text in a memo field and make it a hypertext link.
A memo field can be changed to a hyperlink field, this is not what is wanted.
I've read on this forum that memo fields can be a spot of bother. I only saw this after I put several memo data types in my tables. I wasn't going to do that much with them; it was intended as a electronic scratch pad of sorts for the user. Where does the trouble arise from with them? Should I just leave them or should I change them to text fields with 255 chars and hope that's good enough?

I have a memo field on a form that I only want 800 characters. (text fields don't seen to work). I'm looking for a piece of code that monitors the typing into a memo field and alerts the user that they are overe quota for that field when 800 characters are passed.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Hello There,
I wonder if someone can clear up a problem I am having. We have a system under development which is heavily dependent on an existing MS Access database. Some of the queries in the Access version of the application query Memo fields and they work fine within Access.
If I try to use exactly the same query from an ASP/Vbscript web page the query does not return the expected results. I am using ADO and an ODBC DSN connection, all of the other queries seem to work fine.
I have a vague recollection of being told that you can not query Memo fields through an ODBC DSN, or that not all of the Memo field is queried, only the first 255 characters. Can anyone confirm this is true. I have tried searching the web, and some references that I have available, but it seems that there is nothing out there to confirm my suspicions.
Any direction anyone could give me would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I'm working on a sub-form set to continuous and would like to amend a memo filed so that it autoexpands when entered. Have tried amending the height of the field through the on enter an on exit functions but this alters the size of the form.
Any clues would be much appreciated.

Hello people.
Im just after a bit of advice please??
I have created an audit trail for data held on a form so that when a field is changed it adds a line of text to a memo field with the date of the change and the old and new field values. The problem I have is that each time something is changed the line of text is added beneath the existing text in the memo field. This means that for users to view the most recent change they have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the memo field. Is there a "Quick" way of me having the most recent entry first.
I am using the vbnewline command when adding the text. A sample is shown below:
Dim Response As Integer
Dim AnotherItem As Integer
Dim sqlstr As String
Set Myform = Forms![DataDetail]
Producer = Forms![ListOfProducers(Existing Data Item)]![LstProducers].Column(1)
Response = MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to add a Producer?", vbYesNo, "Data Dictionary v1.0")
sqlstr = "INSERT INTO DataProducers ( Data_Id, Producer_Id ) SELECT Data.Data_Id, Producers.Producer_Id FROM Data, Producers WHERE (((Data.Data_Id)=[Forms]![DataDetail]![Data_ID]) AND ((Producers.Producer_Id)=[Forms]![ListOfProducers(Existing Data Item)]![LstProducers]));"
If Response = 6 Then
DoCmd.RunSQL sqlstr
Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "Changes made on " & Now & ""
Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "The Producer '" & Producer & "' was added to this data item"""
Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "-----------------------------------------------------"
MsgBox "Producer has been successfully added.", vbInformation, "Data Dictionary v1.0"
Thanks folks...
A quick question... is it possible to sort a table by a memo field? I have a table and am able to sort by other, non-memo fields, however when I place my cursor in the memo fielld I would like to sort, the sorting option becomes 'greyed-out'. Is there a way around this?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have an old database for generating service reports which has:
Report No
Date
Customer
Site
In separate fields which is fine
but also
wrk1
wrk2
wrk3
etc.
with a separate field for each printed line on the page
I would like to merge all these into one memo field while retaining the previous data which goes back 15 years (it came from a MSWorks 2.0 DOS db which is the reason for the weird structure I think)
Is there any way to write a macro or code to selectively merge some but not all fields in a table?
I've already copied the db and modified it after clearing all the old data, it works fine but I'd like to have access to the old data in the new format
TIA

Hello,
when I update a form with a new record, that record will copy to any previous record that I click in the same form.
This only happens when I'm adding records to a table that contains a memo field...
Anything I need to keep in mind about memo fields?
Kind regards,
Hans B.
I have a query that is displaying exactly the correct results. However, when I export this to a text/tab delimited file (or even and XLS file) it truncates the memo field to 256 characters in the export file. I am sure it has something to do with this memo field being defined in part by a custom function. Below is the query and the function. The field in question is the "Formatting(First(description_text)) AS prod_Description" column. Any thoughts? Note: I know that if I don't perform the "First" on this memo field, during the group by, the query would truncate this to 256 characters becuase it has to be in the Group By clause. But by using the First function, this field does not need to be included in the group by and there for the query does not truncate it (even though the exporting does).
SELECT ProductList.cin_id AS prod_ID, Formatting([desc]) AS prod_Name, "" AS prod_Flag, "" AS prod_OverrideName, "" AS prod_SortName, Formatting(First(description_text)) AS prod_Description, "" AS prod_Bullets, ProductList.mfr AS prod_Mfr, "" AS prod_itemSort, "" AS prod_ProdGroup, "" AS prod_SubprodSequence, "" AS prod_Layout, "" AS prod_BaseProductID, "" AS prod_ItemSubheadAttr, "" AS prod_Keywords, "" AS prod_URL, "" AS prod_Type
FROM ProductList
GROUP BY ProductList.cin_id, Formatting([desc]), ProductList.mfr
HAVING (((ProductList.cin_id)<>''));
****
Public Function Formatting(Text As String) As String
Dim outString As String
outSring = ""
If Len(Text) > 0 Then
outString = Replace(Text, "<b>", "{")
outString = Replace(outString, "</b>", "}")
outString = Replace(outString, "<i>", "{i")
outString = Replace(outString, "</i>", "}")
outString = Replace(outString, "°", "°")
outString = Replace(outString, "™", "™")
outString = Replace(outString, "©", "©")
outString = Replace(outString, "'", "'")
outString = Replace(outString, "®", "®")
outString = Replace(outString, "<sub>", "{^/")
outString = Replace(outString, "</sub>", "^")
End If
Formatting = outString

I've got an issue pertaining to inner joins within an update query. This query will not run now (giving the expected "must use an updateable query" error) due to two fields involved in one of the inner joins are now both memo fields.
Is there any way (and I assume there must be in vba) to recreate this query so it will run with inner joins involving memo fields?If not, is there a way in vba to do a find and replace within a table? For example, replace the "A" in "A-001" with "B"?
I have a large Db Which contains A Couple of Memo fields which due to the amount of data being stored in the Memo fields is starting to show signs of slowing down.One table contains 75,000, with all memo fields above 255.I wont have a problem with adding the extra code but was wondering if there is anything that may cause me a problem or if there's any reason(s) why I shouldn't follow this path.Many ThanksMickP.S. One Option would be to create 1-1 Tables and move the memo fields into the new tables that way I would still have an easy way of serching but it would reduce the size of the main table also none of the memo fields are included in any of the querys used, the problem with speed seems to be adding data I have checked the indexs which seem OK I can't remove any indexes Otherwise it slows down searching ACT.A copy Of the DB Is available here but it is an 11Mb Download should anybody wish to take a look at the tables structure and be able to advise on any imporvments that would be great please remember it's designed to store very large amounts of data.http://chartheaven.9.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=107best wishesmick
