Add or append data to existing data already stored in a text or memofield

Hi,

Is there a way (besides Case or IIf), to type a value into field1 and
have that value added to the value inside a memo or text field?

Example:
memo/text field has: hello

in field1 i would enter: world (then run a afterupdate event)

the memo/text field, instead of overwriting hello, puts hello world...

Thanks.

Put something like the following in the afterupdate event:
Me!Memofield = Me!MemoField & " " & Me!Field1

Remember seeing a post a while back from someone who wanted to add to a table only if the data didn't already exist. Someone suggested a type of query called an "Up" something or other. Can't remember - could someone refresh my memory on this please? Thanks

I have to import a tab-delimited text file daily into Access through a macro. All of the data needs to be added to an existing table. Some of the data already exists but may be updated by the imported text file. I can update the data through an update query or append the entire import table through an append query. Is there a way to combine the two so that I can update existing records and append only new records (without duplicating...

I have a Memo field in a table to hold notes from a conversation a social worker has had with a client (this is for a non-profit). If the user needs to update the memo field, I need to find the original record (which I am doing fine - getting the correct key) and I need to update the "notes" with the new value from the form, which I store in a String Variable. (I've tried storing in a Variant variable; didn't work for me)

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
