Strange text characters in query

46 New Member
Hello,

I am receiving strange text characters in a query linked to a back-end table with a memo text field. Below is the strange text that I am receiving in the query:



Any ideas as to why this may be the case?

Thanks!

Is your backend Database something other than an Access Database?

If so, you'll need to make sure that you have the language settings set correctly for the type of database that you're connected too. If you're using MS SQL, then you need to check the language settings. make sure that they are set to English, instead of Japanese, or chinese, which is what it looks like you have it set too.

Hope that helps,

Joe P.

I have a mess on my hands. I have a whole set of queries and reports (almost a whole app, really) that has "location" as a text field. Sometimes it's a number and a few times it's text (001, 002, and ADV, TRN, MER). I now have to link on "LocationCode" (text)and "StoreNum" (numeric - from the other application - all numeric). I want the query to put the values for 001 from the numeric side with the values for 001 from the text side,...

I have a view, vw_tc_user_acccess, for determing user access to certain objects. On my machine, I get the following query execution times: 1. SELECT * FROM vw_tc_user_access: 33.04ms 2. SELECT * FROM vw_tc_user_access WHERE object_type = 'FORUM': 3.49ms 3.

I am really having trouble with a full-text search query. Here's what I've got: SELECT listing_id, RANK, name, address, city, zip, heading, phone FROM listings a, FREETEXTTABLE(listings, *, 'FormsOf(INFLECTIONAL, tax') WHERE = a.listing_id ORDER BY RANK DESC, name When I hard code the value 'tax' into the query, it returns over 500 results.

Hi Folks, Sorry if I have the forum wrong, It's more a SQL question than a SQL Server question, but it is intended to run on MS SQL Server at least. :) I'm trying to construct a query and am having trouble wrapping my head around this so I'm hoping that someone can help me get it straight. Here's a stripped-down version of the problem. There are 3 tables involved. (Actually 4, but I'm going to bypass one of them.) We have a table of...

Is there a way to only return the text from a field that matches the criteria? For example, if the criteria for the query is "Like *########*" (any 8-digit numbers at any position in the field), and there is a record where the field contains this text: "for customer #99999999 calling about an issue", can you return just the "99999999" part in the query? Thanks.

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,...
