Access/Excel: Create multiple Lines/Column out of one mulit-line Column?
Hallo everyone! I spent a lot of time today searching for a response to my question but I had unfortunately no success. The problem is the following: I have got an Access-table called Employee with an ID and one corresponding Field/Column called comment. These comments are stupidly multi-line (separated by a Return). It's my aim to have access (he he, wordplay) to these two fields in Excel whereas the field shouldn't be longer that 255 characters. I considered three solutions: The table could be changed after being exported to excel in the following two ways: - Multiple Comment Column...

Incrementing Numbers ?
Hello, I have a column with, e.g., two numbers in it. Say a 2 and the next one down is a 4. How do I select one or both so that I can simply just drag down and have a long column with: 2 4 6 8 10 etc. And, if there are already a lot of numbers in the column, must one delete them first for the scheme to work ? I tried a few methods, but just can't seem to get it to work. Also, couldn't find anything in the HELP menu for this. Thanks, Bob Select both cells then drag the bottom right corner down.

how do I set my tab to stop at column N and rtn to A
I have an invoice created in excel that I would like to be able to tab over no further than the end of the invoice(column N) and then return to column A. Howeer, the tab continues past the column and I don't know how to lock it. TL, You can hide all the columns past column N, and the tab will stop at column. If youve been tabbing, from column A for example, and have arrived in column N, the Enter key will return you to column A, one row down. Otherwise, you can use the Home key to get back to column A, then the Enter key do go down one row. If that isn't good enough, you can...

Search and replace problem
Hi, I have an Excel worksheets where in several cell's a symbol was added to mark the cell's "to review". The symbol used was "(*)". I have tried now to delete all the entries with a "search and replace", but Excel interpretes the asterisk as a DOS-symbol and deletes everythng between brackets. Is there a way to avoid that or to let Excel know that I only want to delete the specific characters. TIA Melissa It's because it is a wildcard, you can replace it by preceding it with a tilde ~ which tell Excel to find an asterisk in find what p...

Format Column
I have a column with inmate id numbers in it. I imported them from a text based program. I made a custom formatting for the column because all the id numbers begin with zero. IE 00112356 or 01555666 etc... The format I used was 00000000 under custom. The problem now is that I want to import them into access but access doesn't see the zero at the beginning. How can I make it show the literal number including the zeros? I tried adding the '01222555 before the number, but I would have to manually append 2000 records. Is there a faster way? Morph.

Jackie, Is there any reason that you would want to keep the history of what happened under the old number vs. the new one? If so, then go with option 2. Will the new item be set up differently than the old one? If so, most likely you'll want option 2 (this will be true for most 'major...
