change character in all text fields - ms-access

I need your help. I woulod like to change one char by another but in all database and i have several table and fields. So i'm building a function in VB but that change nothing and i have no error. I think that my condition is false but i don't see how to correct it :/
Public Sub updateField()
Dim db As DAO.Database, td As DAO.TableDef, field As DAO.field
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset, sSQL As String, sData As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Change = "\"""
replaced = """"
'each table in db
For Each tbd In db.TableDefs
'each field in table
For Each fld In tbd.Fields
'check if String Data have my character
If InStr(1, fld.Name, Change) Then
sSQL = "UPDATE " & tbd.Name & " SET " & fld.Name & " = replace([" & fld.Name & "], " & Change & ", " & replaced & ")"
db.Execute sSQL
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
EDIT :
I finally find what's wrong. if some people are interested :
Set db = CurrentDb
Change = "\"""
replaced = """"
'each table in db
For Each tbd In db.TableDefs
'each field in table
For Each fld In tbd.Fields
If Left(tbd.Name, 4) <> "MSys" And Left(tbd.Name, 4) <> "~TMP" Then
If fld.Type = dbText Or fld.Type = dbMemo Then
sSQL = "UPDATE " & tbd.Name & " SET " & fld.Name & " = replace([" & fld.Name & "],'" & Chr(92) + Chr(34) & "','" & Chr(34) & "')"
db.Execute sSQL
'Debug.Print (sSQL)
End If
End If
Next
Next
Thx for your help guys ;)

If it should help there my solution :
Public Sub updateField()
Dim db As DAO.Database, td As DAO.TableDef, field As DAO.field
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset, sSQL As String, sData As String, change As String, replace As String
change = "\'"
replace = "'"
' simple quote = 39
' doulbe quote = 34
' antislash = 92
' retour chariot = 13
' n = 110
' r = 114
Set db = CurrentDb
'each table in db
For Each tbd In db.TableDefs
'each field in table
For Each fld In tbd.Fields
If Left(tbd.Name, 4) <> "MSys" And Left(tbd.Name, 4) <> "~TMP" Then
If fld.Type = dbText Or fld.Type = dbMemo Then
' \r\n
'sSQL = "UPDATE " & tbd.Name & " SET [" & fld.Name & "] = replace([" & fld.Name & "],'\r\n','" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "');"
' \"
'sSQL = "UPDATE " & tbd.Name & " SET [" & fld.Name & "] = replace([" & fld.Name & "],'" & Chr(92) + Chr(34) & "','" & Chr(34) & "');"
'db.Execute sSQL
sSQL = "UPDATE " & tbd.Name & " SET [" & fld.Name & "] = replace([" & fld.Name & "],'\''','''');"
db.Execute sSQL
'Debug.Print (sSQL)
End If
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
That's works for me ;)

VBA DLookup in Loop

I've written a function to loop through an array of a custom object (C_Document). In the loop, if the document number does not already exist, it should insert a new record into the table tbl_docs. If the document does exist, it should update the appropriate record in the database.
Public Function updateDocuments(docs() As C_Document) As Double
Dim db As Object
Set db = Application.CurrentDb
Dim docIndex As Double
'Loop through all imported documents
For docIndex = 1 To UBound(docs)
Dim strSQL As String
Dim exists As Double
exists = DCount("docNo", "tbl_docs", "docNo = '" & docs(docIndex).getDocNo() & "'" > 0)
'Check if entry already exists
If (exists > 0) Then
'docNo entry already exists - update
strSQL = "UPDATE tbl_docs SET " & _
"docReviewStatus = " & docs(docIndex).getDocStatus() & "," & _
"docRev = '" & docs(docIndex).getDocReview() & "'," & _
"docDate = '" & docs(docIndex).getDocDate() & "'" & _
" WHERE (" & _
"docNo = '" & docs(docIndex).getDocNo() & "');"
Else
'docNo does not exist - insert
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tbl_docs (docNo, docReviewStatus, docRev, docDate) " & _
"SELECT '" & docs(docIndex).getDocNo() & "'" & _
"," & docs(docIndex).getDocStatus() & _
",'" & docs(docIndex).getDocReview() & "'" & _
",'" & docs(docIndex).getDocDate() & "'" & _
";"
End If
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
MsgBox strSQL
Next
updateDocuments = docIndex
End Function
However, when the function is called (with tbl_docs empty), it only inserts one record and the SQL string thereafter becomes the update statement.
Is there a common issue when DCount() is used in a loop? Does anyone have any experience with this logical error?
Your check has a slight but important error:
exists = DCount("docNo", "tbl_docs", "docNo = '" & docs(docIndex).getDocNo() & "'" > 0)
should be
exists = DCount("docNo", "tbl_docs", "docNo = '" & docs(docIndex).getDocNo() & "'") > 0
or if exists isn't bool, but simply the count, then
exists = DCount("docNo", "tbl_docs", "docNo = '" & docs(docIndex).getDocNo() & "'")
You can simplify and speed up this a bit using DAO, where you can do the search and update/edit in one go:
Public Function updateDocuments(docs() As C_Document) As Long
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim docIndex As Long
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "Select * From tbl_docs"
Set db = Application.CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
'Loop through all imported documents
For docIndex = LBound(docs) To UBound(docs)
rs.FindFirst "docNo = '" & docs(docIndex).getDocNo() & "'"
If rs.NoMatch Then
'docNo does not exist - insert
rs.AddNew
rs!docNo.Value = docs(docIndex).getDocNo()
Else
'docNo entry already exists - update
rs.Edit
End If
rs!docReviewStatus.Value = docs(docIndex).getDocStatus()
rs!docRev.Value = docs(docIndex).getDocReview()
rs!docDate = docs(docIndex).getDocDate()
rs.Update
Next
rs.Close
updateDocuments = docIndex
End Function

MS Access Query ColumnHidden Property

I've written some VBA code that (a) sets the SQL of a query based on input variables, (b) opens the query in datasheet view, and (c) hides or shows columns based on "true" / "false" values of check boxes in another table. This is considering the "ColumnHidden" property as described in Microsoft Dev Center help. Dev Center Help - ColumnHidden Property
When executing the code, (a) and (b) are working as intended. However, I get error 3270, "Property not found" at line fld.Properties("ColumnHidden") = False when executing (c). I've been unable to resolve the issue, even when trying the error handling method described in the Dev Center. Please help!

Screen shots of error:
If you closely look at the example code in the article you referred to, it includes error capturing, and creating the property if it didn't exist. This is because the property may or may not exist based on unpredictable circumstances.
Adapted from the Linked article:
Const conErrPropertyNotFound = 3270
' Turn off error trapping.
On Error Resume Next
'Set the field to false here
fld.Properties("ColumnHidden") = False
' Error may have occurred when value was set.
' Display error message or create property when property didn't exist
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
If Err.Number <> conErrPropertyNotFound Then
On Error GoTo 0
MsgBox "Couldn't set property 'ColumnHidden' " & _
"on field '" & fld.Name & "'", vbCritical
Else
On Error GoTo 0
Set prp = fld.CreateProperty("ColumnHidden", dbLong, False)
fld.Properties.Append prp
End If
End If
Since you've already set the field to False, you don't need to error trap in case the field doesn't exist when setting it back to True
You can also choose to check if the property does exist by iterating through all properties, which is best done in a separate function. This avoids error trapping, but may take longer to run

Change Navigation pane group in access through vba

I have a module of VBA code in access that creates 4 new tables and adds them to the database. I would like to add in a part at the end where they are organized in the navigation pane through custom groups so that way they are all organized. Would this be possible through vba?
EDIT:
I don't want the tables to be in the unassigned objects group. I want to change the name of that group through VBA.
EDIT: Added more code to add other object types to the custom Nav group.
The following code will assign tables to your custom Navigation Group.
WARNING!! There is a 'refresh' issue of table 'MSysNavPaneObjectIDs' that I am still trying to resolve. If you create a new table and then try to add to your group - sometimes it works on the first try, other times it fails but will work after a delay (sometimes up to five or ten minutes!)
At this moment, I got around the issue (when it fails) by reading info from table 'MSysObjects', then adding a new record to 'MSysNavPaneObjectIDs'.
The code below simply creates five small tables and adds to Nav Group 'Clients'
Modify the code to use your Group name / table names.

Thanks a lot for your code,
I had to modify it a little on my specific case due to the issue on the refresh of the table.
In fact I am recreating a table (deleting the old one before). As the MSysNavPaneObjectIDs does not refresh, the old ID is kept inside.
e.g. let's use a table tmpFoo that I want to put in a group TEMP.
tmpFoo is already in group TEMP. TEMP has ID 1 and tmpFoo has ID 1000
Then I delete tmpFoo, and immediately recreate tmpFoo.
tmpFoo is now in 'Unassigned Objects'.
In MSysObjects, ID of tmpFoo is now 1100, but in MSysNavPaneObjectIDs the table is not refreshed and the ID of tmpFoo here is still 1000.
In this case, in the table MSysNavPaneGroupToObjects a link between TEMP(1) and tmpFoo(1000) is created => Nothing happen as ID 1000 does not exists anymore in MSysObjects.
So, the modified code below get in all cases ID from MSysObjects, then check if the ID exists in MSysNavPaneObjectIDs.
If not, add the line, then use the same ID to add it to MSysNavPaneGroupToObjects.
In this way seems I do not have any refresh issue (adding Application.RefreshDatabaseWindow in the upper function).
Thanks again Wayne,
