Searching for fields that do not contain numeric values

Hi,

Please can you tell me how I create a query that will show all records that do not have any numeric values in a specific field?

Thanks

Richad

RE: Searching for fields that do not contain numeric values

Hi Richard

This is quite a complex query you are trying to run. I know it is possible to create using VB or VBA, however I am unsure as to whether it is possible to do by just using SQL. If I find a way to do it with SQL I will let you know. You may find it useful to take our Access VBA course in London, as this will give you a good understanding of VBA.

Hope this helps
David


 

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
