Problem displaying memo field

I have a table in MS access with a memo field. Everything the
user inputs in the field is recorded in the table. When I try to
output the memo field I am on getting part of the field. Attached
is the code for displaying the data from the acty_comments field.
Also below is the actual data that is in the field. Can anyone tell

are you using GROUP BY? or aggregating in some way? using

There is a limitation in Access if so.

Conversion problems with Memo field in Access database

I have the latest version of Migration Workbench and the Access 2000 plug-in.
I am using an ODBC driver, and the SQL conversion requirements for converting
to a native driver seem too time and labor intensive to be feasable.
My problem is that I have some "Memo" columns in my Access database containing
over 200,000 rows that I need converted to Oracle. This is something I'm going
to need to do over-and-over again for different Access databases.
I gave up on mapping the Access "Memo" datatypes to Oracle "Clob" datatypes. It
was either taking forever or taking WAY too long.
Then I tried mapping the Access "Memo" datatypes to "Varchar2(4000)" and although
it completed it took longer than my customer will like (think 1/2 an hour just for
all the rows of one memo column in one table).
Finally I tried going into the original Access database and converting the "Memo"
column into a "Text" column. It wouldn't work, I kept getting the error:
=====
Microsoft Access can't change the data type.
There isn't enough disk space or memory.
=====
even though I had over 10GB of free disk space and only 1/3 of my memory was being
used. I assume this is a memory-max limitation in Access 2000.
Any suggestions for speeding the conversion? Could I stagger using Migration workbench
to create the tables. . .then use SQL*Loader to load the data. . .then use Migration
workbench again to put in the idexes, etc? Would this be faster even if it worked?
Thanks,

Problem displaying bidirectional fields

Hello,
I've imported a csv file into an existing Oracle 10g table, using HTMLDB wizard. The csv file contains several bidirectional columns, in the following format "number string". During the import process, in the last step of the wizard, I can see the bidirectional columns in their proper format. After the import is completed successfully, querying the table using SQL*Plus also displaying these columns in a proper format.
The HTMLDB application should display some of the forms and reports in a right-to-left orientation, and in order to do that I'm using the tag <span dir=rtl> in the appropriate templates. Butâ¦
The relevant HTMLDB forms and reports display the bidirectional columns in a reverse format of "string number". When I'm using a form â with the <span dir=rtl> tag - to update the bidirectional columns into the proper format, the data is saved, and later on displayed in the proper format. Using SQL*Plus on the updated table show no noticeable difference between the original and updated data, and they both displayed in the proper format.
Can anyone think of a way for me to import the bidirectional columns and still be able to display them in the correct format, although using the <span dir=rtl> tag?
Any ideas will be much appreciated,
Arie.

Hello,
I really need help on this one â¦
Is it possible to apply HTML tags, or other formats (beside numerical and date format) on the imported fields?
Thanks,
Arie.

Problems displaying rtf memo fields

Post Author: Davidm
CA Forum: General
We use Crystal Reports X to run reports on an Access database with a significant number of rtf memo fields. We use Total Access Memo to allow extended use of rtf within Access as our users require the additional formatting capabilities that this offers.
However, there are considerable problems displaying items like bullet points, tables and hyperlinks in the Crystal Viewer with tables in particular coming out in a real mess with all entries in the table being displayed in a list with a small square marking each cell at the end of each line.
Curiously, if you preview the report in the full version of Crystal X, it appears a bit better with the hyperlinks still underlined (bullet points still vanish) and rows in rtf tables are at least presented as a row even if the columns are not ordered and mixed (with no bounding cells visible).
Firstly, is this disparity of end result between full Crystal X Print Preview and the Crystal X Viewer fixable?
Secondly, is the limited handling of rtf tags likely to be solved in the next release of Crystal?

Hi Mathias,
If I caught you correctly, you want to display data in Adobe forms in form of tabel, right?
So, follow the steps:
1. Insert one sub form on your adobe form.
2. Set its type as "flow content" in object->subform property.
3. Set flow direction as "Table".
4. Insert another subform inside this subform.
5. set its type as "flow content" and flow direction as "Table row".
6. Now, choose binding tab, and there check "repeat subform for each Data item check box" and specify min. count for your rows.
7. Now, insert your column fields inside this sub form once.
8. Format its look and feel as you want.
When you run this application, it will show you multiple data as table on Adobe form.

Bhavik

The memo field in forms won't display text?

I am using Firefox 33.1.1 on a WindowsXP Pro system and have been using FireFox for quite some time . . .
Recently, I must have done something, I just don't know, but I can't seem to remedy the problem.
I create and use a lot of forms. Standard <form></form> HTML forms.
Whenever I pull up a form, I can no longer see any text as I type into the MEMO field. I also don't see any contents of the MEMO field when I recall a record fromn the database within the form.
This is happening ONLY with the MEMO field.
This very message I had to type in notepad and copy and paste it into this bug report form.( OMG - when I pasted this text into this form, I can see the text!! But still not in other forms)
YET, the text is indeed in the form. This text will display when recalling a record to the webpage and displaying the memo field contents on the page.(Not in form)
I have done all I can according to FireFox problem resolution suggestions including uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh pristeen copy of Firefox to a diff location on HD.
I do NOT have this problem when I go into Windows IE. I know there is no problem with the form itself or database contents. This happens on ANY memo field at ANY website, not just mine.
I cannot say if this began after an FF update or not. I feel it may be a simple fix. I may have hit a key or combination of keys that changed a setting causing this, but I dont know where.
Any clues would be helpful.
thanks
jim

Memo field problem in CR 8.5

Hi. I'm having a problem with displaying the contents of a memo field in CR8.5 when reading from SQL Server 2005 (this doesn't happen with SQL Server 2000). The memo field just doesn't display. It is in a subreport. The field and the subreport are enabled to grow. Like I said, this works fine when reading from SQL 2000, but not 2005.
Help?
Thanks. Help is ALWAYS appreciated.

Hi John,
How are you connecting your DB? If it's ODBC then try using OLE DB etc.
What happens if you create a new report, can you see the memo data?
CR 8.5 is 10 years old so at the time MS 2005 was not out so not sure if there are issues with it or not.
Check the field type and length in 2005, CR 8.5 has a limit of 65,000 characters for memo fields, if upgrading changed that size CR will have problems.
You could try downloading all of the patches for 8.5 and see if that works.
Thank you
Don

Question of possible problem with "display as" field in MS Outlook contact

Are you aware of any problems with an apparent shift of the display as field in MS Outlook contacts after the initial syncing with their iPhone? When preparing to send an e-mail in Outlook, the auto populating of the "display as" field is now linked to incorrect contacts. Therefore, one could unknowingly send an e-mail to the wrong recipient. After seeing this error, it appears that many of my "display as" fields have shifted among contacts within my Outlook contacts. This appears to have happened right around the first time I synced my iPhone. It could be completely unrelated to the iPhone syncing but I am curious if other iPhone / MS Outlook users have experienced similar problems.

There should be no leeway or movement. Return the phone to where you bought it and show them. It should be covered under warranty unless they determine it was dropped or accidental damage.

I am using CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES' for the same.
Please reply asap.
Edited by: PRADEEPKULAT on May 20, 2010 2:03 PM

Hi,
I am not sure about your question,
I understood that you have to Display both key and Text.
If so Concatenate both Key and Text .
I mean,
TYPE-POOLS : VRM.
DATA : T_VRM TYPE VRM_VALUES,
             WA_VRM TYPE VRM_VALUE.
WA_VRM-KEY = 'Field1'.
CONCATENATE WA_VRM-KEY 'Field1' INTO
                   WA_VRM-TEXT SEPERATED BY SPACE.
INSERT WA_VRM INTO TABLE T_VRM.
WA_VRM-KEY = 'P''.
CONCATENATE WA_VRM-KEY 'Hi' INTO
                   WA_VRM-TEXT SEPERATED BY SPACE.
INSERT WA_VRM INTO TABLE T_VRM.
WA_VRM-KEY = 'R'.
CONCATENATE WA_VRM-KEY 'Hello' INTO
                   WA_VRM-TEXT SEPERATED BY SPACE.
INSERT WA_VRM INTO TABLE T_VRM.
WA_VRM-KEY = 'S'.
CONCATENATE WA_VRM-KEY 'How are you' INTO
                   WA_VRM-TEXT SEPERATED BY SPACE.
INSERT WA_VRM INTO TABLE T_VRM.
Then pass this table to the function module VRM_SET_VALUES.
I hope this resolves your issue.

Problem with a Display Only field based on a dynamic LOV

I have a field/item which is based on a dynamic LOV:
select DESCRIPTION display_value, STATUSID return_value
from CTCXFRREQS_STATUS_LOV
order by 1
...and I need it to be display-only on the page. However, if I make it a display-only field, the return value is displayed, not the display value. If I change it to be a select list field, the display value is shown, as I expect and need.
The field was based on a static LOV before, and it worked perfectly then.
Has anyone seen this before, and have any suggestions on how to work around it?

Hi,
In edit item
Display As: Display Only
Save Session State: Yes
Based On: Display Value of List of Values
Named LOV: YOUR_LOV

Error when referencing an RTF-encrypted Memo Field from ACT! in CRXI r2

Post Author: Scottco1986
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I'm creating a report from an ACT! Premium 2007 database, and I seem to have hit a snag. A field in ACT! which is labeled "Regarding & Details" seems to be stored as two separate fields in the database. The first, TBL_HISTORY.REGARDING is easily displayed on the report. The second, however, TBL_HISTORY.DETAILS, is an RTF-encrypted Memo field. "No problem," I thought. I could just specify the text interpretation to interpret the Memo Field as RTF. Unfortunately, as soon as I include the field on the report and preview it, I get an error: "Database Connection Error: 'HY010:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Function Sequence Error' ". So, I cancel the preview operation, and remove the field. Everything should work now, right? Wrong. I now get an error: "Failed to retrieve data from database," followed by "Failed to retrieve data from database. Details: HY000:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Connection is busy with results for another hstmt". These errors do not stop occuring on preview until I restart Crystal (effectively undoing my unsaved changes). I then thought that maybe this error had something to do with the fact that it is a memo field. So, I wrote a SQL statement to convert the Memo field to a String. This, however, caused the same errors. So, now I'm stuck. How can I include this field without errors?!?

I found that this had to do with my ODBC driver...
I was using "Oracle ODBC Driver 9.2.0.6.5" when I had this problem on Database #1, but Database #2 was connected via the basic "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" connection.
I changed Database #1 to the "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" driver, and now the memo fields are displaying correctly in Crystal XI.
After this discovery, I checked with the support staff and they told me:
"Crystal Reports 8.5 was non-unicode complaint and after Crystal Reports 9 and higher versions the query engine has been re-written completely. Hence there was certain changes taken place.
In addition to that please note that from Oracle 9i the LONG field has been deprecated. Hence, the Oracle ODBC Driver does not work. This is an Oracle ODBC Driver limitation. And it is a known issue.
As you said I request you use either "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle" / "CR Oracle ODBC driver" to over come the issue."
So... Check your ODBC drivers if you're having this issue!

Problems with Memo data type in access

I have a Java program which is connected to a Microsoft Access Database. When trying to get a Memo data type field out of the DB and putting it into a StringBuffer, it causes a Function sequence error, even though it does put the field into the said StringBuffer.
For all other data types, like text (string), long integer etc there is no error but only for a memo field.
What's the best way to get a memo field out of an Access DB without it causing problems? or should i just forget Microsoft's Access and make my DB in Oracle?

Hi! Can you tell me how connect a java program with a Microsoft access DB? Should I have to use a particular driver? Where I can find it?
thank you vcery much for your help!!

SQL conversion of MEMO field

I have a web site that builds pages based on content in an
Access DB. One of the fields is MEMO and contains body copy for the
page (usually 300-400 words per record). This bodyCopy field is
HTML tagged IN the record (in case that matters). So I import the
whole database into SQL. Fine. The pages display ok - All the data
in the bodyCopy field is STILL in there, I can see it on the
webpages. BUT, I cannot see, or edit the cells in SQL Enterprise
manager. If I add a new record similar bodyCopy pastes are
truncated. SQL converted the MEMO field to ntext(16). I have tried
text(16) and nvarchar(8000) with the same results. I need to be
able to edit the existing cells, and input similarly sized data
chunks in with new records...
Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

SQL is a bit different in managing the data directly than
Access was.
ntext should be fine for any previous memo fields.
If it tells you that you cannot edit the cells, it is usually
because the Key has not been defined. Importing from Access will
bring in all your data, but it won't necessarilly apply the Key
identifier. Without a key it won't let the data be edited, at least
not directly.
If it is showing up in the web page OK then the data would
not appear to be truncated, just not all viewable in the SQl
listing. If you try to enter too much data into a field in SQL it
usually will simply refuse to do it.
Have ou tried connecting to the SQL server via Access (ADP)?
If you have been used to Access all this time, it can be a really
nice way of working between the two and gives you a familiar way of
doing things.
