    Transferring a Value that is contained in a field for 250,000 records

    Once again...WOW!! I will sit down and give this a try. You make it seem so simple. You have no idea how much you have helped me. I am going to give this a try. So I should create a table with the fields you specified and then run each update query against the data to clean it up. I just...

    Transferring a Value that is contained in a field for 250,000 records

    Would it be a better idea to search on those similar values and replace them all with the proper words to keep things a little more simple. The older data we received from the state was all scanned in so I'm sure they just ran an OCR against it so that's why there are so many misspellings and...

    Transferring a Value that is contained in a field for 250,000 records

    I was just thinking since they all are most likely "See Attachment" would it be a good idea to treat them as that. The "sub-CK" "A" would only be used to exclude the record when doing select searches and fixing of records. Bob

    Transferring a Value that is contained in a field for 250,000 records

    Se At" would be close ok. Where the value has <20 characters with a "space" between the 2 values, I can't see that getting much better. I got the data from state of Wisconsin ,many of the files got ocr , for older files. With the flag Field-sub-ck and a few other fields we will be able to...

    Transferring a Value that is contained in a field for 250,000 records

    Again, I want to thank you so much for all your help. I have just a few more things and I hope I am not pushing it, you have done so much to help me already. One thing for the PropertyDescription_1 Field, if it contains CSM, Section, Township or Parcel, we don't want to transfer any data to...

    Transferring a Value that is contained in a field for 250,000 records

    Wow! That is amazing. I will sit down and look it all over. I can't thank you enough for this help. I know we don't live in a perfect world and the field I am dealing with here is...well you saw it. That is the way the data actually looks. And it probably gets worse than that. I just...

    Queryare there with him him in the

    I am trying to create a quarry which is totally new to me. I am including a picture that gives a better idea what I'm trying to do. I'm drawing the value from field "PropertyDescription_1". Note: The image shows lot as a field. That was a mistake "Lot" is a vale within "PropertyDescription_1"...

    Transferring a Value that is contained in a field for 250,000 records

    I'm attaching a accdb that has added field's to show what the results should be. They all start with the name value. I also might mention that records 12,13,14 seem so close. I will be running the results against my master file that will pull the three records so they show "Harmony Groved". So...

    Transferring a Value that is contained in a field for 250,000 records

    It's hard to describe what I need to do but I put together a text file that I am attaching to try to help explain. But bottom line I have a field called PropertyDescription_1 where there is a high probability of a Subdivision Name contained within if certain conditions are met. I hope I'm not...

    Well that was even easier than your first help. Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help. Access is pretty new to me but with people like you helping me out I am finding my way around really easily! Thanks again! Bob

    Concatenate

    Wow that was quite simple, thanks soooo much! I do have one more part to it if possible. Some of the LastName (GrantorLastName) fields contain Company information and therefore have nothing in the FirstName field. Is there an easy enough way not add the space if FirstName does not contain...

    Concatenate

    I am not sure if I am posting this in the correct spot...if not I apologize. I am using Access 2007. I have three columns, fst,lst and name. How do I get the column "name" to contain "fst and last"? So basically I have a table with first name and last name in seperate fields. I would like to...

    Should I UpDate dBase 5.5

    Sometime ago I had updated to visual 7.5 and had problems so went back to 5.5. I am now in Windows 7 and very happy. I have not migrated my 5.5 away from XP. When DBS was purchased, I believe from Ashton-Tate, the new company had some price schemes that didn't set well with me. 5.5 works well...

    End of file encountered

    End of file encountered I recently saw a message that mentioned encountered. I felt I should respond to this topic since I had a huge battle with dBase (Aston Tate) back around base IV in regards to the error message. It was a bug with dBase. It was a very big fiasco that ended out with a...

    Uncertain about relationship

    I have a master database called permit. It has all the builders that built homes in Wisconsin in past years. It only has one number that has builder information “BLD”. That is the reference used in the builder database file. It’s called “Builder”. It has a reference called “BLD”. I want to link...

    Use network file

    No if I map a network letter to the drive it will work. But when I type the actual network path which is: \\heather\c\file\dbv\per_dil I get the error invalid file name and I know that is not the case. Bob
