Hi,

I have a text field I need to update with a new note on a few hundred clients; some of the records already have text that I don't want to be over-written.

Is there a way to add text to the begining of the field where it is not null.

Thanks

RE: Access

Hello Kim,

The method of achieving this can vary depending on the context in which and how the new text is applied, also what code you currently use to populate.

Maybe you could concatenate the additional text such as:
Forms!Form3!Text5 = Forms!Form3!Text5 & strResult

I hope this gives you an idea as to how to approach this.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Access tip:

Hiding Multiple Table columns

If you want to hide non-adjacent Access table columns. In Datasheet view, open the table that contains the columns you want to hide.

On the Format menu, click Unhide Columns.
In the Unhide Columns dialog box, clear the check box next to the name of each column you want to hide.
Click Close.

This method makes having to use the Hide Columns command repeatedly unnecessary
