Memo Fields

Hello.

I have an Access question that I hope that you can help with. I have two memo fields in an access document that are both filled with data. I would like to merge these two memo fields so that the data appears together in one field. How can I do this?

RE: Memo Fields

Hi Clare

Thanks for your post. There are several ways to achieve your requirement.

Route 1: Develop your Access skills to VBA level by attending our Access training courses, this will be 4 days worth of course attendance.

for further information on these courses please click here

Route 2: 1 day consultancy with a trainer at your offices to develop the solution for you, please note that the session is not aimed at raising your skill levels, just to complete the job, should you wish to learn along side the trainer this will naturally take more time.

I hope this will suffice and any further questions please let us know.

regards

Jacob

RE: Memo Fields

Thank you Jacob,

But this does not really answer my question. Are you saying I have to go on four days training to merge two memo fields? Is there no advice you can provide me on how to do this?

Perhaps Rajeev, who has answered my previous queries would be able to help?

Thanks for your time.

RE: Memo Fields

Hi Clare

Sorry my post did not meet with a quick fix you were looking for.
I did consult with my collegue on this who is an Access developer and we didn't see a quick solution to your request.

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
