In an MS Access 2007 project report, I have the following (redacted) query: SELECT SomeCol FROM SomeTable The problem is, that SomeCol apparently contains some invisible characters. For example, I see one result returned as 123456 but SELECT LEN(SomeCol) returns 7 . When I copy the result to Notepad++, it shows as ?123456 . The column is set to TEXT . I have no control over this data type, so I can't change it. How can I modify my SELECT query to strip out anything non-numeric. I suspect RegEx is the way to go... alternatively, is there a CAST or CONVERT function? You mentioned using a regular

I have a list box that populates with different sets of data based on user selections. How can I cycle through any given values that may be in the list box? Is this a For Each statement, or what? HansUp You can do you a For loop to examine each row in the listbox, and do whatever with the rows which are selected. In this example, I display the second column from selected items in the lstLocations listbox. (Column numbering starts with zero.) Private Sub cmdShowSelections_Click() Dim lngRow As Long Dim strMsg As String With Me.lstLocations For lngRow = 0 To .ListCount - 1 If .Selected(lngRow)

I started learning about C# and have become stuck with inserting information from textboxes into an Access database when a click button is used. The problem I get is during the adding process. The code executes the Try... Catch part and then returns an error saying "Microsoft Access Database Engine" and doesn't give any clues. Here is the code: namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 { public partial class FormNewUser : Form { public FormNewUser() { InitializeComponent(); } private void BTNSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(); conn.ConnectionString =

I'm inserting a few rows in a table via OleDB, and select instantly the inserted row. I can't retrieve the row in this way, i have to wait for approx. 3-5 seconds. And then the inserted row appears in the table. I observed this behavior in the database itself, i inserted the row via OleDB and watched the opened table in Access. The row appeared 3-5 seconds later in the table. Does Access buffer rows? Do i have to send a flush or commit, etc. via OleDB ? Any suggestions would be very helpful. (Please don't ask why I don't solve this through my business logic or other ways....) I did some

I need to enable or disable a control on a continuous subform, dependent on another field. The initial code I wrote by instinct was very similar to what is suggested here , but instead of only disabling those controls which are marked as "child", it disables all of them - in effect, it seems only to be looking for the value of the last record and affecting all the rows. Is there a way this can be achieved, or am I barking up the wrong tree? Code below: If Me.Record_Type = "Child" Then 'Disable subsidiary records Me.Record_Type.SetFocus Me.Prospect_Name.Enabled = False End If The only way of
