I have a field in an access 2000 database that is actually three lines
of text separated by carriage returns.
Is there a function in the Access version of SQL that will let me
locate the carriage returns and then split the field based on the
positions of the carriage returns?
Or do I need to process the field with Visual Basic?
I seached for an answer to this on the web. I found an answer that
said to use the CHARINDEX function but that is apparently not a part
of ACCESS 2000 because I get an error message saying that it is
invalid.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If your version of Access has the Split() function (look it up in VBA
Help), you can use it to parse the field into 3 different parts.
You would use Chr(13) & chr(10) as the field delimiter.
Because this is a VBA function, you'll need to create a module, then
call it from the query.
In a module:
Public Function splitthis(field in, X)
Dim var As Variant
var = Split(fieldin, Chr(13) & Chr(10), -1)
splitthis = var(X)
End Function
In a query:
New:splitthis([FieldName],0)
will get the first part. The parts are Zero based, so the third part
will be
splitthis([FieldName],2)

In my database there is a text field type that is used to enter street
address. This address could be a few lines long, each line with a
carriage return at the end.
Is there a way to search for these carriage returns and break out what
is in each line seperately?
Thanks.

I am trying to write a user defined function that will allow me to

We have address fields stored in a text field for our ERP system and
some of them have an extra carriage return and line feed at the end of
them. This causes havoc when we sync between our ERP system and CRM

I have been encountering an issue which I can’t find a way out of it.
What my pgm does:
It (java codes) reads oracle table data and creates flat text data files. Another part of the program distributes the extracted text files to unix systems.
Problem first occurred:
Opening those files in Unix box shows carriage return in the middle of the record as well as at the end of the record.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
