Breaking memo field apart

Hi

I need to break a memo field apart by the individual lines of text it has. I
only need the last two lines. How do I do this in a query?

Thanks

Regards

Use InstrRev() to locate the occurrance of vbCrLf twice (since you want the
last two lines), and then Mid() to pickup the text from that point.

Note:
1. Requires Access 2000 or later.
2. If you are not doing this in code, use Chr(13) & Chr(10) instead of
vbCrLf.

I want to create two buttons on a form. One would allow the user to Copy the contents of the current records memo field, the other would allow them to print. I set up a report based on the memo field, and it works. But, it seems wrong since I had to create a huge text box to accommodate memo fields with a lot of text. Thanks for any help, ShyGuy

Hi, I have a report based on a query. The query grabs a memo field from my main table, yet when I display the memo field in the report it truncates the memo field (the field needs to hold more than 255 characters). The table holds all the memo text, but the query seems to truncate the memo field to 255 chars? This seems like there should be a relatively easy fix, but I can't seem to find it.

I have a memo field that is included in some Access reports I created. Is there some way for the memo field to display nicely formatted text, with line breaks between paragraphs? Or is it necessary to export the report? I tried exporting a report by using the .rtf rich-text format (the plain-text format was the only other word-processing option listed when exporting). I then opened the .rtf file in Word. However, it looks like some...

In A2000 I have a table containing a memo field. There is an unbound form for entering text, and there can be lots of it. When the form opens there is a function to grab the data from the table and enter it into the field. There is another function to save the data back to the table. There is also a timer running to save the data every 10 seconds. All works well except very occasionally, especially when there is a lot of data, the user...

Hello, I'm looking for a way to parse/format a memo field within a report. The Access 2000 database (application) has an equipment table that holds a memo field. Within the report, the memo field is printed within the detailed area. The problem is, the apllication is not setup properly, thus the users are entering data within the memo field as: location1 1/1/2005 1/1/2006

Hello; A friend gave me this syntax and they are unavailable at the moment and I need this asap. I am trying to figure out how SQL figures this out. Below the syntax takes a field in a file and breaks apart the pieces of the key for other uses. The field looks like this 1234567*AWD*07FA (or 1234567*FPER*07FA). I just need to understand how the numbers behind the TA_2007_ID field work to break apart they key?? The first one is easy.. it...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents.
