    Fixing terrible data in a mailing list

    Thanks, Alex. I think I'm going to try a totals query. If I group by the field that has duplicates I think it will work. Thank you for the code, that will help. :)

    So, everyone..... We are working on fixing the addresses so they are in a uniform format and will eliminate the name problem by using "library patron" in the name field for all postcards. Once I get the excel sheet, assuming all the addresses are done correctly, can you help me with the steps...

    Select Distinct for mailing list?

    Hi all, I'm sure I asked this question years ago but it's been a long time since I've had to work with Access and now we have a large mailing list. Problem: There may be many family members with the same last name (obviously different first names) at the same address and we would like to...

    webmasters anyone?

    I work in a public library district and am on the committee to help develop a new website. My work at the library involves acquisitions so I am not really a techie, more a techie-wannabe. Our committe is researching how to go about advertising a position as webmaster if the district decides...

    Code for obtaining birthyears

    Hi, Understand..obviously can't get the actual date, but I'd be happy if I could just get a year, (plus or minus one year not a problem at this point) for them for the time being, then our development people could target age groups for sending out mailings that might just be of interest to...

    Code for obtaining birthyears

    Does anyone know how to do this? I have a list of over 2,000 children, their ages, and the date these were obtained. Is there a way to come up with a date-of-birth globally, instead of having to calculate each one individually? Thank you.

    Middle Initials

    Hi again, Moving right along, this was very good and thank you. Now I seem to have a problem b/c I need, i think, a WHERE statement so that this update only happens to the records which actually have the middle initials in the FirstName field. I used WHERE (((tbltestOct28.[First Name]) LIKE...

    Middle Initials

    Hi RS, Thanks so much for the tip. I'm having a little trouble with this, as I don't do this often enough. When I put that expression in a field, I get a parameter query. I'm struggling to figure out. (or i'll be fixing 2500 records one by one, ouch)... thank you again. PS

    Middle Initials

    Hi all... Has anyone imported a list where middle initials were in the same field with first name? Is there a relatively easy way to pull them out and put them into my middle initial field without having to fix them individually? Thank you.
