I have tons of values for example...
043401792930179293000000000000
486934620469284720452458733452
548065110164648465132013541355
I only want to keep the values in red. 2nd, 3rd and forth columns of each value. Is there some sort of Trim I can do?
Hello,
Does anyone know of a way that I can get rid of characters off a product code so all I am left with is just the characters greater than zero?
Example...
AA0000000652618... I only want to be left with 652618.
Would it be best to use a left trim or to use a right trim function? Unfortunately there is no standard for the product numbers... meaning that some numbers are 15 characters in length (as is above) but others maybe shorter or longer...
Also where I would add in the Right or Left Trim piece of code?
Regards,

I have a text field having data i-e HO-1, HO,2, ACW-25 and so on. The field name is nBadge_num and is Unique. The data in this field is sorted automatically like 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...because this is the text field.
The number on the form is automatically generated, when the user type HO- for example on field exit event. The last number will generate like HO-5.
Code for automatic number generation is:
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset, Response
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max(Right([nBadge_Num],Len([nBadge_Num])-" & Len(Me.NBadge_Num) & ")) AS MaxNo " _
[Code]....
My problem is when the number is generated it give HO-5 instead of HO-14, How can I sort the numeric part of the field ?
Tried to search for this, maybe I am searching the wrong term.
Anyways.. I have a table linked from a large mainframe, and what I am trying to do is trim any numbers that are 1 million and over, and still keep it a number.
Currently I have this:
VEHICLE_KMS2: IIf([VEHICLE_KMS]>999999,Left([VEHICLE_KMS],6),[VEHICLE_KMS])
What I need is to have it remain as a number, seems that the left function turns it into a string value.
Thanks
Using the built in function within access 2000 how can I do the following
I have the following types of number in a table
84125
80245
I want to be able to trim the leading 8 of the first number but on secon number I need to trim the 80 off the number.
I can quite easily trim off the 8 off both numbers t am left with a leading 0 on the second number. This has to also be trimmed.
The number will always be 5 digits long
Is there anyway of doing this by using the built in function Len or is there another way.
a maybe simple question:
With the mid function one can make sure that a part of a text is token to display on a report, output or whatever.
But how to do the following:
"John Isaac"
"William Bill"
"Michael Robert"
In the report the following has to be visible:
"John"
"William"
"Michael"
The use of mid is i think possible, and starting with the first letter as well, but how to determine when the space is coming?
Please advise!
Hi there
I saw my question in an online tutorial once but can't find it.
I have about a thousand records and I'm just concerned about one field.
I have to strip away part of the text.
Heres an example:
AFG-006/2/E
AFG-006/E
AFG-008/1
AFG-008/1/E
I have to strip away all of the left part from the ascii character (/)
so all the records would look like this:
AFG-006
AFG-006
AFG-008
AFG-008
I'm sure there's a way to do this with Trim, maybe Ltrim but I'm not sure how this would be done. Does anyone have any ideas. I have over 1000 records which means it wouldn't be practicle to do it manually.
Thanks
I have this code:
MaxCPC = Bid2 / 7
But I want MaxCPC to be stored to 2 decimal places. If I click in the field, quite often I get something like 2.3256 but I only want 2.32.
How?
I have used the Trim function in a query and am getting an error. At first I was concatanating several fields but have cut it back to the most basic form but still receive the error. The error says that the trim expression failed. Here is the code I used:
fullname: trim([last]) + ", " + trim([first]) + " " + trim([middle])
I then used
fullname: trim([last])
I got the same error. Just using the field last does not generate an error.
Any ideas? I created the DB in Access XP and am getting the error in 2003. I tried the changes in 2003 but still got the error.
thanks. :)
Hi all,
I have a local table that has data imported from a spreadsheet
and we have discovered that one of the fields brings in trailing spaces. Since the Access DB has some querys to manaipulate the data I thought I would just create a qry that would trim the value of that field but I am getting error messages when I try to run the query.
Basically it is a update query with the field value written as:-
Code: Trim([Code])
I am leaving the update field in the qry blank and it complains about it not having a destination field which is understandable so how do I go about trimming the value of a field in a query. Is it even possible ?
Thanks in advance,
Mitch....
I have a makeup query, were i am tryin to trim one of the fields, how ever i keep getting this message,
Extra ) in query expresion 'TemplLines..[Trim([ARTNR])].'
However in the field i have typed this "ProductNumber: Trim([ARTNR])"
I cannot see were i am going wrong. I have included a print screen of my query any ideas.
Hi there.
I have a little problem.
I have a file that I split into little code files each with their own little Code and description. Now whoever the smart one was that is making these codes and descriptions has put double spaces between some descriptions and before and after some others.
Now in excel I don't have a problem removing them. I just use the good old Trim() function. But in access like most other programs the trim function just removes the leading and trailing spaces but leaves the double spaces inside the actual strings there.
Now my question is this. Is it possible to write a query or macro that would inspect each description and search for double spaces and either remove them if their on the end/beginning of a string or replace them with a single space if they are in the inside of a string.
Basically a search and replace function i guess is what im looking for here.
Hi Guys
Another expression that's troubling me. I need an expression that can take this field.
Z:MusicDownloadDDale DaviesUntitled EPDale Davies - Untitled EP - 05 - No Perfect Child.mp3
Trim the front to the 4th ie. Dale DaviesUntitled EPDale Davies - Untitled EP - 05 - No Perfect Child.mp3
Then the end of it ie Dale Davies
So all I have left in a seperate field is the Name. Also I'd like to know what parameters to change to trim to the 2nd or 3rd .
Thanks alot guys

I use this SQL in another query platform, but how can I do it in an access query object?
SUBSTRING (AL1.TRAIN_ID FROM 1 FOR 3)
Which cuts my 7 length string down to 3 char.
I have a field "DisplayURL" that contains values of various lengths. Some are only 12 or 13 characters long, but others are 50 characters long. I need to run an update query to "cut-off" all the characters past the 35 limit - so that all records in the field will be 35 characters or less.
I've searched this forum and online and there are similar posts but nothing quite like this, I thought it would be a trim function but I keep reading that it only removes spaces. Any ideas?
Dear all:
Is there a trim function that exists in access vb so I can apply to a text box to remove irregular spaces in a textbox field?
I am importing an excel file and a column has names with irregular spaces in it. Hopefully this trim function can solve that issue.
Many thanks,
Regards,
Dion
Hello, need help with the Trim() function. In a query I am using this SQL:
SELECT TRIM(tblAllMembers.First_Name), tblAllMembers.Middle_Name, TRIM(tblAllMembers.Last_Name), tblAllMembers.Address1, tblAllMembers.Address2, tblAllMembers.City, tblAllMembers.StateOrProvince, Trim(tblAllMembers.Postal_Code)
FROM tblAllMembers
WHERE (((tblAllMembers.City) Is Not Null) AND ((tblAllMembers.StateOrProvince) Is Not Null) AND ((tblAllMembers.Country)="USA"));
However when I run the query, the First_Name, Last_Name and Postal_Code doesn't trim leading and following blank spaces.
Help please
I have the following code:
#: Mid([Emergency-Approver],InStr([Emergency-Approver],"EBF-"),5)
Here is my problem. I need the number that is at the end of EBF, sometimes there will be a dash some times a space, i know that I can use RIGHT to remove the first 4 characters, however I do not know where to place that in the above code.
My second issue is once I have the number only showing in the field I want to link that answer to a table that has a description of what that number represents.
The table name is Approval_Code. I want to have it do a VLookup type of function however that is not available in access. So I need to know how to get that result in a new field.
Any help would so be appreciated
Thanks

I have a list box with an onClick that grabs the selection(s) made and pops them into a textbox on another form seperated by a ", ".
I don't want the last selection made to end with the ", "
txtselection = strList
Forms!FormName![txtselection].Requery
Trim ([txtselection]Right(", "))
How do I use the Trim and Instr function to remove a ", " at the end of the string?
Hi all, this is my first post, I'll try and make it a good one :-)
System:
Windows 2000
Office 2000
I have a small network of PC's here which have access to our central database. I have a simple form created using the label wizard which is used to print address labels for mailing lists.
On most of the PC's here it works fine but on one or two (which have no obvious difference in thier setup) I get an "ODBC--Call Failed" error and it won't run the report????
I have puzzled over this for a while when I decided that I would remove the Trim function from the lines of the address fields on the label, these are put in automatically by the label wizard. This stopped the error message and the reports now run.
I don't know why this is happening but I am hoping someone will.
Thanks,
Matt.
I'm having a problem using Trim with StrConv functions, when I use this code Trim works.
Code : FullName: Trim([dbo_sponsor]![spn_chair_person])
but when I add StrConv, Trim stops working. Below is the code that doesn't work.
Code : FullName: Trim(StrConv("Dear " & [dbo_sponsor]![spn_chair_person],3) & ":")
Going to try to Trim first then then concatenate.
I have a report that contains several numeric fields for Blood tests. I am currently using the "TRIM" function to great success in the following format
=Trim("Last Bloods: " & [dtmBloodsLast] & " Hb " & [intHb] etc.....
However When I try to Bracket out any fields that do not have a value in the table I get a #Type! Error
e.g: Trim("Last Bloods: " & [dtmBloodsLast] & (" Hb "+[intHb]))
Where intHb is a Number, field Size: Double, Format: General numberSimilarly I have one or two fields which have + - characters in their name e.g. intCa2+ (Calcium) which seem to throw a type error (inconsistently).how I can achieve "skip this field if no value in the table - but display with Indicator (e.g. Hb for Haemoglobin) if value present".
I need to remove 1 final - from my string. Here is my sql.

I need to add trim to all text boxes in my database. Any easier way than to add it to the afterupdate event of every text box or a complete list of all trims on buttons that save the records?

With microsofts article, I have made to store multi options value of a list box in a text box with comma. However, since these are IDs being stored, I want these values to run a query and get results also.
