I need to be able to take a list of instructions like this one, that is in a table, and have it break out in a query so that when I go to use it in a report it will look like the second example.
1) Set the oil out so that it is at room temperature. 2) Mix the oil and the alcohol together. 3) Place oil mixture on stove and bring it up to73 degrees. 4) Pour the mixture through a cheese cloth. 5) Add 1 cup

I have tried different ways of using instr in my query. I can get it to start the next line at any point, but I do not seem to be able to get it to stop when it comes to the next instruction. As a result I get something like this.

I am having a bit of a problem with my update query. i have a field that shows a forename. i am importing data from an excel file. The forename populates with forename and middle names and they are seperated by spaces as opposed to commas. I have used the following InStr function in my update query however it works fine when the records forename field has a middle name but it deletes all data in the records forename field if it contains only one name which many do. How can I adjust the function to ignore those records that do not hold more than one name in the forename field. As you can imagine some forename and middle name combinations hold many names. For instance the filad may have Ivor as a name which I would want to keep But if the Field showed Ivor Bigun then Bigun needs deleting.
I have a question about errors on null value.I have made a small database for tryout, it has to be implemented in another one.And the small database is working.I have one table where there is one field called BatchInput.I scan a barcode into it and let two query's breaking it apart. I scan this batch into the table field
BatchInput: 20 MAY 2004H149-082-79 A4147011A05
Then I have my first query (Qrybreak1) extracting the date and deleting H14
And query (QryResult) even wont start, giving a popup with Invalid procedure call..How could I handle Null on the part where there is no space after the partnumber (missing Certnumber)?
Code: SELECT Reference, InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) As MyField FROM MyTable WHERE (Reference ='ShouldBeOut' OR Reference = 'ShouldBeIn1' OR Reference = 'ShouldBeIn2')
It returns 3 rows, with values in MyField of 0, 23 and 355.
Now I add 1 more where clause to filter on MyField and the query looks like this:
Code: SELECT Reference, InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) As MyField FROM MyTable WHERE (Reference ='ShouldBeOut' OR Reference = 'ShouldBeIn1' OR Reference = 'ShouldBeIn2') AND ( InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) > 0 )
So, you would think that it should return 2 values (ShouldBeIn1 and 2), but it doesn't. It only return the value where the Instr returns value of 23. The one with the value of 355 also disappears. Why would that be? Surely Instr does not return a byte?
I need alot of advice from you guys! Basically I have a table that contains address data, and I want to isolate the country name - it may be either by itself in a field or in a string.
To do this, I have created three tables:
one with supplied data containing address data (tblProcessData) one with a list of countries (tblCountryName) and one with a list of alternative country names (tblAlternativeCountryName).
tblCountryName has all the 'correct' country names (eg. UK) and tblAlternativeCountryName has any other spellings of this (eg. United Kingdom, Great Britain, GB etc. etc.) I have joined the two together using the Primary Key of tblCountryname to a number field in the tblAlternativeCountryName (one-to-many relationship).
My question is, what is the best way of isolating the country name in the table? I was attempting to run an update query to find the country name based on 2222 records, but when I went to run it as a select query, it comes up with 142208 records, and the instr value is 0. Why is this?
SELECT tblProcessData.[6], InStr([tblProcessData]![6],[tblCountryName]![CountryName]) AS Expr1, InStr([tblProcessData]![6],[tblAlternativeCountryName]![AlternativeCountryName]) AS Expr2 FROM tblProcessData, tblCountryName INNER JOIN tblAlternativeCountryName ON tblCountryName.CountryNameID = tblAlternativeCountryName.CorrectCountryName;
I need to bee able to query out all entries that are not like the following format S01-19-01-3. Users are entering incorrect data such as So1-19-o1-3, S0119-01-3, S01-19-01-3. Users are supposed to enter the data with One letter, 3 dashes and 7 numbers. If they enter any other way I need to be able to identify it with out searching through some 4000 records. Please help
I'm examining a previously written query and I'm trying to figure out exactly what the minus sign does when placed before the Instr function. An example of a query that successfully flips a name field is below and includes the -instr function. I've also included another query below this one that is much more simple and does the same thing. Thanks in advance for your help!!!
I am trying to write a query that will search a field for a string until it discovers a comma. If there isn't a comma I want the field left as is. If there is a comma I want it to grab all strings before the comma and then take the string after the comma and flip the arrangement to another field..ie (flipname)
example if a field has [Smith, John] I want it displayed as John Smith
Here's is the code I was attempting to use below, it generates syntax errors!
SELECT Exercise1.name, Iif(Instr[name],",")=0,[Name], Mid([name],Instr([name]),+1,instr([name]),",")-1 as expr1 FROM Exercise1;
I have a check for lots of different data in a string and wondered if i can use CASE or similar.Sample code reads...
If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "Give & Take", 1) Then TM = "Standard" If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "Give Take", 1) Then TM = "Standard" If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "give and take", 1) Then TM = "Standard" If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "Give and", 1) Then TM = "Standard" If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "priority working", 1) Then TM = "Standard" If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp, "priority boards", 1) Then TM = "Standard" If InStr(1, Me.txt_sp", 1) Then TM = "2 Way"
I'm having some problems with a simple query and it's driving me nuts. The invoice numbers in our system have hyphens in them, and I'm trying to find invoice numbers whose part before the hyphen matches a number I enter. Here's my SQL:
SELECT dbo_NIHB_ClaimLog.InvoiceNum, Left([InvoiceNum],InStr([InvoiceNum],"-")-1) AS InvoiceNumLeft FROM dbo_NIHB_ClaimLog WHERE (((dbo_NIHB_ClaimLog.InvoiceNum) Is Not Null) AND ((Left([InvoiceNum],InStr([InvoiceNum],"-")-1))=23316));
I'm getting a "Data Type Mismatch In Criteria Expression" error, and I can't figure out why. I've wrapped a Clng() around the Left() function, but that doesn't help either.
In my developing application I am making use of searchboxes to narrow down the amount of records. On a form I have a textbox and a subform with a table connected. In the textbox I can type a character that will be used in an 'Instr' SQL query. I am using the code to query one field. (see code below) In what direction do I have to look to make this code usefull to search through two fields. In my case that will be Tag and Function.
Code:
Private Sub mnu3_txt_UnitbookSearch_Change() Dim SQLstring As String SQLstring = "Instr(Tag, " & "'" & Me.mnu3_txt_UnitbookSearch.Text & "'" & ")" ReReadDescriptions SQLstring
I want to that the WHERE clause for a SQL statement that I am using options on a form to build. I intend to use the clause in opening a datasheet form.
This is the code I have for getting the substring
Code:
Dim intPos As Integer Dim tempString As String Dim BaseQueryFormStr As String 'BaseQueryFormStr is used to reopen the BaseMasterQueryFrm with the specified parameters tempString = "WHERE"
Hi, i have a column with data in a query that looks like the following (p.s. sbenj, mehere,.. thanks for the advice earlier) Code:Link200-1200-1-1200-1-2200-13-1 Now everything before the 2nd hyphen is considered the base number. I.e.
Code:Link200-1200-1200-1200-13 I need to parse into a seperate field everything before the 2 hyphen.
Now i've tried the following which i thought would work, which would enable me to concatenate expr1 & expr3 unfortunately it doesn't agree with 200-1 because it doesn't have a second hyphen,
SELECT Table.Link, Left([link],InStr([link],"-")-1) AS Expr1, Mid([link],InStr([link],"-")+1) AS Expr2, Left([Expr2],InStr([Expr2],"-")-1) AS Expr3 FROM Table;
What is the best way to impliment a query in a form so that the user can view the query records, and have the option to print or save the selected record using command buttons?
I tried subforms but I could not get the command buttons to work in the subform after it went into the form, it wanted to print the entire form instead of the selected record from the subform.
So in a nutshell I have 3-4 queries that are built, and I want to have them show up on my form in a format that the user can scroll through the results and select a single record of the results and then print or save that individual record from the form, if such a thing is possible.
In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?
I'm trying to run a UNION query that joins five queries through a MS WorkSpace into a DAO.recordset in VB. I'm pulling the data from a SQL Server Database through VB in Access. I'm attempting to open a recordset with a query passed to it as a string. The query is below. For some reason, I'm receiving a message: "MS Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query. Runtime Error 3078".
Here's what's puzzling. When I run a single query without any UNION statement, the code finds the table and runs fine without error, but anytime I join two or more queries with a UNION statement in the VB, it gives me the error.
I've executed the same UNION query in both Access Query Builder and SQL Server's Query Analyzer and they work fine in both environments. It's only when I call the query from a DAO.Recodset with VB that it causes this problem. The following is a sample of the UNION query joining two of the five queries. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? The following query executes in about 5 seconds so I don't think there's a "time-out" issue. I'm thinking that the UNION statement may be the culprit. Maybe there's another way to approach joining these separate queries? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I am wondering if there is a quicker way to export a query to excel then have the data in that query removed from the original table. (effectively cutting the data from the table and exporting to excel)
I understand that this can be done by exporting the query to excel then running the same query as a delete query to remove the data but I just wondered if this is the most efficient way.
I have experience of VB in excel but currently only use the basic macro builder in Access though if Access VB is more efficient I can easily learn.
I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).
I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.
In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".
I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.
(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)
In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.
Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.
The ProjRevMRC field is an expression that reads:ProjRevMRC: IIf([ProjRevDate]>=DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1),[CurrentMRC]*[qry303a_ SFADetailMRC_ONLY]![Rev Flow Through],0)
When I run the query, it works perfectly, but when I created a crosstab query to show totals by month, I wanted the totals to be zero for the months less than the current month. Is there a way for the crosstab query to execute the expression and put zeroes for those months?
I have a field that is giving me the number of business days between a period of time and then I want to subtract that number - the person's PTO time to see the actual days they were available...when I simply type the number in (see below) it works great but I want to set up a prompt that will ask me how many PTO Days to calculate as it will be different for each person I am quering...is this possible?
:confused: I am trying to help someone with a complex problem (so it seems to me) but I will first ask about what should be a simple thing....
First goal: to COUNT the number of times a TYPE of visit is made. There are several different TYPEs but only interested in tracking 2 of them.
When a crosstab query is created - if one of the 2 parameters are not "met", a blank is returned. I have been reading posts about using NZ and IIf IsNull, etc to get past that - but none of them make any sense to me and the Access help suggestions do not work. Hope someone can make it clear with this information: (can't give more specifics to keep privacy intact)
The SQL was written by Access not by me. :)
Here is an example of the Crosstab SQL (which is using a previous query):
TRANSFORM Count([qryTest2.TYPE]) AS CountOfTYPE SELECT qryTest2.CID FROM qryTest2 GROUP BY qryTest2.CID PIVOT qryTest2.TYPE;
----------- qryTest2 SQL: (Grouping by to remove dups)
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE FROM tblM LEFT JOIN tblC ON tblM.[M#] = tblC.[M#] GROUP BY tblM.CID, tblM.[M#], tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME, tblM.YMDBIRTH, tblC.ClDOS, tblC.TYPE HAVING (((tblC.TYPE)="Out" Or (tblC.TYPE)="In")) ORDER BY tblM.CID, tblM.LNAME, tblM.FNAME;
