Need To Remove Breaks From Paragraphs
Feb 8, 2006
I'm having big problems exporting and converting data in Access. I have a large source of records that I want to manipulate and then export from Access into delimited text files. The problem is, I need to remove some spaces from a memo field. While the trim() function will remove a lot of spaces, it doesn't remove breaks/hard returns/whatever-you-call-it that breaks up the paragraphs.
Here's and example of what it looks like when I export it now:
SECTION: 37 BLOCK: 596 LOT: 5
ALL THAT CERTAIN PLOT,
I want it to look like this:
SECTION: 37 BLOCK: 596 LOT: 5 ALL THAT CERTAIN PLOT,
How do I get rid of the breaks? Thanks!!

I programming a eBay upholder, and having an issue with the description, as there cant be any line breaks in the column. I have little knowledge of Vba programming. I think I can use the replace command to change the line breaks to spaces.

From a form build a report using standard paragraphs using a combo or list box . Paragraphs may vary in length but must format correctly on the report. NO SPACES MUST BE LEFT BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS. Also the form must allow editing of the standard paragraph. ie where there is perhaps a change of name etc: ALSO is it possible to exceed the 255 characters in a text box ?

I have a button that generates text according to information in different fields. The text has multiple lines and when I select the button to generate the text it puts all the lines together when I need it to do a new paragraph after each line.
Sample:
Me.GeneratedCode = "This is a test for " & Me.ServerName & "." & _
"The server " & Me.TestResults & " the test."
The above shows up in one continues line.
This is a test for shankserver. The server Passed the test.
I what it to look like this
This is a test for shankserver.
The server Passed the test.

I have an Access 2010 database with a memo field formatted for Rich Text.
I created a simple form. It accepts and shows paragraphs, i.e. I press Return and a new paragraph appears (with a blank line in between paragraphs).
I then created a report based on the same fields. In the memo field it shows the text entered in the form, but not the paragraph breaks. It just shows one big block of text without any paragraph breaks. I have looked for a field property in the report design and layout views that might affect how the text is displayed in the report but I cannot find one.
It is not much use if you can input paragraph breaks in a form but not see them in a report.

I'm not sure if this is the right section for this question, but not sure where else to ask it.
We have a database and a query that is run that creates a table for a webpage.
The webpage (created in FrontPage) displays the info we need, but what we have 1 field that we would like to have display in a certain way. What we would like is, instead of having this 1 field string all the words out in a row.
For example:
word 1 word 2 word 3
Is there something we could either do in the query or within the webpage, that will force each word to a new line within it's table cell on the webpage
So would look something like this.
word1
word2
word3
it makes it easier to read on the webpage.

I have a list of jobs for a report in which there are multiple jobs per page. When there is a page break in the report some jobs are being cut off and then started on the next page. I do not want any information from a job to be seperated by a page break. I just want a page break to occur after a full job listing. I don't mind if the page is short, just don't want any jobs broken up. Is there a way to accomplish this??? Thanks.

I had someone write some code to access an Access database. The code works with the database as is, however if I choose to compact & repair the database to minimize its size, the code no longer works. What could be different about the database once it's been minimized using the database utilities?
Thanks,
Rick
P.S. Does compacting the database make it more responsive to users on the web that query the database, or doesn't it much matter?

Hi,
I have a report that has 3 sub reports in the main report but for now I will just concentrate on my main report and my first sub report. My first subreport is a bit of a nightmare as it pages and pages of just text well 3 pages. I have typed all the text in labels n the sub report and I have inserted a page break control when I run the sub report without the main report the page breaks are there when I run the sub report from the main report the breaks have gone. Any idea's how to fix this one. So I have a hughe details section with 3 page breaks that only work on the sub report that has not been opened from the main report. Once I try to open the sub report from the main report I lose my page breaks in the details section of the sub report. Hope this make sense. Thanks PWF

I have imported an Excel spreadsheet into an Access database. In Excel, a line break in a cell is entered by ALT+Enter. After importing my spreadsheet, all my line breaks appear as "□" and the text all runs together (no line breaks) in the table. The "□"s are also printed in reports. I need a way to either (1) make the "□"s appear as line breaks (e.g., by changing some Access property) or to convert the "□"s to something that shows as a line break in an the Access table memo field (e.g., CNTRL+Enter). Can anyone tell me how to make this happen?
I've tried to copy/paste the "□" into the Find/Replace dialog, but nothing appears when I paste. I understand the memo field is unicode, but I have not been able to determine what the "□" character actually is. It is not the same as the only similar squared shaped character I find in the Arial character map (U+25A1: White Square). I can copy and paste the "□", if surrounded by some other text, e.g., "xxx□yyy", into a Notepad document and it shows up as "xxx□yyy". Pasting the same into a Word doc and I get
"xxx
yyy" with the line break properly displayed. I can copy and paste just the □ itself in Notepad.

I'd like to run a search and replace on a query result to remove carriage returns, linek breaks and tabs from the data. I know that MSWord has character aliases that will allow you to do a search and replace - does Access have an equivalent for these?
Thanks!

I have a memo field that contains several text strings separated by line breaks. I would like to write a query to add another text string to the end of the field. How do I embed a line feed in the SQL?

Hi folks,
I've got two control buttons ('OK' and 'Cancel') on several forms. They work on the forms in Single Form view, but not on the one form that is in Continuous Form view. I couldn't find any mention of this behavior on this forum, but on another forum somebody mentioned that Continuous Form view makes control buttons do odd things. Any ideas on how to handle this?
Here's the code:
Private Sub OK_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_OK_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
Me.Visible = False
Exit_OK_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_OK_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_OK_Click
End Sub
Private Sub Cancel_Click()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Glossary"
End Sub

Bit of a strange question / problem. I am using a Dlookup between two queries. Everything runs fine is I leave the join as option 1: only include rows where the joined fields in both tables are equal. But if I change it to number 3 Include ALL records in right table in left it returns a syntax error on the query.
I can run the same query with same relationships of another table and it is fine!

I created a form with a memo field. Data is entered. How do I get the data to print on the report on separate lines rather than one continuous paragraph? For example: Entered in form:
2/1/15 visit to house. 2/2/15 ordered new locks for doors. 2/5/15 Locks installed.
Print view on Report:
2/1/15 visit to house.
2/2/15 ordered new locks
2/5/15 locks in stalled.

I have an input form for production. I need to be able to have a unbound box look at the start time and end time. I need it to determine if the times fall during a break or lunch. My fields in my table are - ID, Start Time, End Time. Example of what I need the control source formula to do is this. If I start at 6:00 AM and work till 10:00.AM and my break is Start Time 9:00 AM... End Time 9:10 AM. I need it to then show 10 in the box as result of the break. I have this so far as in my formula builder.
IIF([Start Time]<9:00 AM AND [End Time]<9:10 AM, 10, 0)
When I press enter it says I have an syntax error and I have checked to make sure the fields are correct. Also how would I go about adding on to this formula to add a lunch break on to it.

I have a report in Access 2010. The report contains some images in the main report area and in sub reports. I have The queries that feed the report and subreport contains the name of the pictures that are loaded into its image controls. I added the following code to my form in order to control what image is displayed for each record. Id like the form to work even if the database is moved as long as the subfolder and photos are moved along with it (thus using relative path).
Code:
Private Sub Report_(Current)
Dim ImagePath As String
Dim ImagePathInt As String
Dim ImagePathPlanV As String
[code]...
The problem seems to be that the routine doesn't seem to initially recognize the path. I have a blank photo in the folder containing all the images called NO PHOTO.jpg. If I open the report in design view and browse to this image in the picture parameter of any one of the image controls and run the report, then everything works perfectly even if I close and reopen the report. The report shows the right pictures even in the subreports.
The problem is when I close the database and reopen it, then the link is lost again, forcing me to do the process of browsing for the NO PHOTO image again. I already try to do an open form procedure to automatically reset the picture property, but although it resets the picture to the picture I set (I verify this by setting a different picture instead of the NO PHOTO) it does not make things work correctly as it does when I manually browse for it in design view. I also try to run the code above under the Report (Open) instead of the Report (Current) but that didn't work either.

I have the following code
SELECT Count(T_STUDENTS.studentsID) AS res1yes, T_COACHING.COACH1res, T_COACHING.COACH1port, T_COACHING.COACHworkgroup
FROM T_STUDENTS, T_COACHING
WHERE (((T_STUDENTS.res_vrijstelling)=False) And ((T_STUDENTS.stud_year)="1") And ((T_STUDENTS.stud_coach)=forms!F_cboCOACHING!cboCOACHING))
GROUP BY T_COACHING.COACH1res, T_COACHING.COACH1port, T_COACHING.COACHworkgroup;
It runs fine, untill the moment the count is 0. At that point it breaks the form. How can i tell access to deal with this? Somehow i need to replace the count result with 0 if there are no records that meet the criteria.

I am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?

I print a report onto labels (Avery 5960: 3 columns of 10 labels on a letter sized piece of paper). The report and labels print fine BUT...
I need physical page breaks between certain sections. When I click on "keep whole group together on one page" in the "group by" section of the report, it starts a new COLUMN of labels (which Access sees as a new page), but does not force an actual new piece of paper.
How can I force a real page break?

Hi
Need a little help with the following, running windows ME on a Compaq Presario Desktop, connected to Blueyonder Broadband, Blueyonder have provided a new anti virus and firewall package free of charge to broadband users, you need to remove your existing Virus and firewall package(McAfee) to load the new, which I have done, it appears that I still have remnants of a previous Norton Firewall, the only reference to it is when you access through the control panel and the add/remove programme, I have tried many times to remove it but the text is still there.
I have searched for it but nothing comes up as found.
Many thanks
Derek
