Right To Left Search/ Find Last Instance
Feb 20, 2006
Hi all,
I have some records containing the following data
ABC (UK)
ABC (UK) Ltd
ABC UK) Ltd
ABC UK)
I need to pull out all the data with a ) but not a ( and add a ( to the start of the word before the ).
So for example, the four examples above would change to:
ABC (UK)
ABC (UK) Ltd
ABC (UK) Ltd
ABC (UK)
I have selected the companies that need updating, and I can pull the data to the left of the ), but I don't know how to find the first instance from right to left of " ", or find the last instance from left to right of " ".
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I have a MS Access database, and I have set up a form for users to input
name, address, ssn and other data. I have command buttons on the form
to print a record, add a record, delete a record and to exit. I tried the
search option, but with 50k records on a netwoek, it was to slow.
Is there a way to have a search on a command button, (Macro?) on
this form to allow our employees to search by name or ssn?
Thanks for your help.

I have Territory Mgmt database. Sometimes when I get a new lead I need to quickly find other leads in the database that are closest to it.
I am currently not tracking latitude/longitude etc. Do I need to? Is there a way to set certain location marks by address?
If so, once I put in the latitudel/longitude how do I create a search to find the nearest?

I am trying to use a query to search 2 many to many relationships but i keep getting duplicate results because each record is slightly different.
I have a table with cameras, another users and another formats. I have a table linking cameras to users and another linking cameras to formats so it looks somthing like this:
tblCameras - tblFormatlink - tblFormats
tblcameras - tblUserslink - tblUsers
When i add all the tables into a query i get loads of results as expected because i get a result for every possible combination.
What i want is when i search for all cameras that are suitable for a user who is a beginner is to get just a list of unique cameras. When i do that search at the moment i get a duplicate record for each different format the camera can do.

Is there a way to use the find command in access in one report to search throughout the whole database. For instance, I am designing a database that in a report it shows the number identifier of an item, and the actual detailed information is located in a separate form. What I want it to do is to be able to find the detailed information from a command within the report that only has the number identifier.

I have 5 textboxes and a multiline textbox in a form in my Access Database. I am going to type several keywords in those textboxes and I am going to type an article in the multiline textbox.
What I need to do is I want to calculate the keyword density in the article. I can do that if i know how to search the whole text in the article and count the specific word. And I want a function to count all the words in the article too.

Input box Search problem. I have been using the following to find a record in my frmMain using an Input Box:
Private Sub cmdClientIdSearch_Click()
'Searches for Client by ID number
Dim rs As Object
Dim strCriteria As String
strCriteria = InputBox("Please enter Client ID" & vbCr & "Do not type leading zeros")
[Code] ....
It works great if I run it from a command button from frmMain. But, if frmMain is open and I run it from a command button on my switchboard, I get the following error message:
Run Time error 7951. You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the Recordset Clone Property. I tried inserting a command to open frmMain in the first line, even before the two Dim statements, but I get the same result.

I have a DB and I have a button that triggers the find and replace. this will search over 100K entries and filter a specific client. The clients record can be 100's of entries.
This all works fine, but its always ascending and I have to scroll to the bottom for the latest record.
I can't set it to show Descending permanently as some employees can't cope with change. so...
I have a checkbox on my form for either Ascending or descending results. Is there any way I can get the find / replace to reference it, Or can I re-sort them after the search.
I've tried putting re-sort code on the 'find' button as lostfocus and mouseup but it doesn't work.

I've recently finished constructing a database that uses forms with checkboxes i.e. when a user opens a form there are several checkboxes associated with labels, but the table only stores the check-boxes and the form labels are the field (column) names on the table.
Now, what I'm trying to do is create a search feature whereby if a keyword search is conducted, a search through the column names from the table with checkboxes takes place and only lines (rows) with true (checked) checkboxes are returned.

I am 2 years into my database. I am trying to find and open a folder based on a text box. The problem is folder could be in many sub folders which is hold on our J: drive.
To further complicate, the folder i am searching may not be exactly as the text box states.
EG. Text box could say 123456 however the folder could be called M123456 etc.
How do i locate a folder or subfolder and open it based on part of a text box...

Is it possible on the Find Record button added to a form to adjust the search function so it defaults to a specific box on the form? I have a form for tracking employee's and on my Find Record button I would like it to default to the Last name instead of the Record number.

I'm trying to search a for string within a subform to find information stored on the mainform to which the particular subform belongs.
The problem is that the subform is generated from a query which uses a number from the main form to generate.
So the subform record is only generated when the correct mainform record associated with it is loaded.
Now to solve my problem I've made a new query that brings up ALL the results that could be generated by the main form and from that I can search to find my search term I'm after and read off the ID number to tie it back to the mainform.
But all of this is done manually, I want a way to do all this using VBA in a way that the user can't edit any records as they are doing it.

Hi,
I have a form(frmentry) where a user creates a record and it has a primary key that is entered manually the primary field is called "AR_Number". The user enters the details in this form and then click a button called "butapprove" and it launches another form called 'frmentryapproval'. When this second form loads up i need it to be on the record that the user was just entering, wondering what the best way is to load that record into the form.
currently I am using this code:
Private Sub butapproval_Click()
Dim appformname As String
Dim apparnumber As String
appformname = "frmentryapproval"
apparnumber = "[AR_Number]=" & Me![ARNo]
DoCmd.OpenForm appformname, , , apparnumber
End Sub
but when using that it does not work properly and the values entered on the 2nd form are not saved at all, let alone to the required record.
I have seen some things on GoToRecord & FindRecord but don't know how to use them, would the be useful in this situation?
Thanks for your help and sorry for the n00b question.

Hi,
I have around 50 jobs on a table. These have a 'start date' of various dates in a year. A field called 'complete' indicates whether a job has been closed off or not and a field called 'frequency' determines how often the jobs recurr (in days).
I need a query (which I'll run every night) which will examine all the incomplete jobs on the table and copy all this data to new jobs and change the 'start date' to the previous 'start date' + 'frequency'.
That in itself is not the problem. My problem is how to tell Access that when the current and next instances of a job exist, not to copy it a third time.
In other words, after the query runs there should always be 2 instances of the job on the table...current and next.
Can someone please advise me what I should do?!
Thanks in advance

I'm sure this is simple, but I can't find it anywhere...
How do I refer to an instance of a form using its key value?
For example, I have a collection 'colForms' and two forms in that collection with the keys 'Key1' and 'Key2'. How do I refer to the instance that has Key1 in code (for exampe, to close or requery the Key1 instance of the form from another form)?
Thanks in advance,
David

I am trying to ONLY allow One instance of a value in my table.
tblUserSecurity
admn
dev
If either of these exist (They are Yes/No) then do not allow. This is being checked via a combo box on my form using the after update event. Only One Administrator and One Developer. DCount or DLookup ?

I'm making a database that keeps track of particular lots of ingredients going into certain recipes.
The relevant tables are
tblSupplements (SupplementID, SupplementName)
tblSupplementLots (LotID, SupplementID, ArrivalDate)
tblRecipes (RecipeID, RecipeName)
tblRecipeItems(RecipeID, SupplementID, Quantity)
tblSupplementRecipeBatches (BatchID, RecipeID, MixingDate)
tblSupplementRecipeBatchItems(BatchID,LotID)
I have the top 4 tables filled out via forms and it all works swimmingly.
I'm having a hard time coming up with a scheme for filling out the bottom two.
I would like to have a form which will display the BatchID (automatically generated), allows the user to enter the MixingDate, gives a combobox bound to RecipeID which is filled from a pulldown menu based on RecipeID and RecipeName from tblRecipes.
All these I can do, but the next step is befuddling me: based on the RecipeID, I need to make a list consisting of the varying number of supplements which comprise the given recipe and allow the user to enter the LotID for each one (preferably from a pulldown menu).
I've tried a bunch of things (subforms linked on RecipeID, listboxes, VBA update queries attached to buttons). I just can't seem to understand how to have a variable number of subrecords appear and attach a new field (LotID) to each. Perhaps my table design is awkward?

Hi,
I build the WHERE clause in my form's record source dynamically, depending on the context in which the user opens the form. I can't put the WHERE predicates in the record source and refer to fields on another form, as the context will determine which predicates are required. So I have code like this:
Public gf_FormInstance As Form
Dim strSelect as String
:
Set gf_FormInstance = New Form_F_PerformanceSummary
:
gf_FormInstance.RecordSource = strSelect
gf_FormInstance.Refresh
gf_FormInstance.Visible = True
The problem is, the Set statement causes the New form instance to retrieve all records from the existing record source, slowing down the performance.
I'd like to find a trick to suppress the retrieval of records when the Set statement executes, and then allow them to retrieve when the Refresh statement executes.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith.
