Removing Text from A Database

I have an access database that I want to run an internal
update query that looks for a specific snipitt of text and removes
just that. How would I do that?
Thanks

You can do it with access, check out the string functions
here:
http://www.techonthenet.com/access/functions/index.php
You can also use ASP functions to manipulate the string from
a query:

If you want to start using the database in other ways look
into using MSSQL 2005 Express - it free and has most of the
features of the $$$ version. You can use access as a front end and
upload your access dbs to SQL server real easy, you will be glad
you took the time.

Help with removing text from background

Hi,
I'm pretty new to this, but I'm trying to figure out how to remove text from a background. My problem is that when I use tools to grab the text, it only selects part of it because the pixels of the text are actually different colors as it blends in with the backgorund. Does anyone have a quick idea how to do this?
Thanks

How to remove text from .swf animation?

how to remove text from .swf animation? Can no find this text
in fla file. Flash 8.

exactly what 'text' are you referring to? text that you typed
on the Stage using the 'textTool'? simply select the text with the
'arrowTool' and hit delete.
If you are referring to a textField that you want to
eliminate after a certain amount of time, within your animation
sequence. first copy the text, create a new layer, paste the text
in place, then where you want to have the text 'disappear' insert a
'blank keyframe' at that point in the text layer.
OR place the textfield within a MC and remove it with code.
OR if the text is dynamic and you wish to use the position at a
later time, pass a value of null or and empty string to the field
at the point you wish. And there are other ways still. :) hope one
of these works for you.

Removing record from secondary database

Help! Trying to remove text from an already saved image

I accidently saved an image with my watermark & now the image is locked & also saved as a jpeg image. I can't remove the text without stamping it out or just starting over. Does anyone know how to remove text from an image that has already been saved?

You could have saved it before closing the image. As long as the image is open in Editor, we can always go back to the original position and get back the original file.
In case you have closed, check if you have saved it as a version set. If your file name contains "edited-1" something, you have the file preserved.
Otherwise, if you have replaced the file without having any copy of it anywhere else, you cannot revert the changes.

Batch removing text from mails in folder

Hi
I have a folder in Mail in which I'm collecting mails from a mailing list that have attached photos. I was wondering whether anyone knows of an automated way of either removing all the text from those mails, just leaving the photos, or, better still, extracting all the photos in the mailbox to put in a normal folder.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Matthew Whiting

Thanks David. That was exactly what I wanted to do, and so simple and so obvious. I knew I posted the question in the Mail folder for a reason.

How can I remove text from an image

I was trying to use the magic wand and then inverting but it is not removing the text.
I tried the clone stamp but it's on a tile background so very hard to make it look good. I just want to redo the text because it was written by someone that does not speak English/American.
Thanks in advance for your help

Basically, the Vanishing Point filter allows you to identify the perspective in part of an image, then clone from other parts that are at a different distance; it takes care of the scaling. It's pretty slick, though I've always thought it would be better integrated directly into Photoshop rather than being in a plug-in type format.
The other day I used it on a photo of a series of statues of archers. The one on the end was missing part of her bow...

Remove text from a picture

This is a jpg downloaded from the internet. For starters, I'd like to know how best to remove the row of text above the picture without disturbing the pattern underneath. Then I want to bring it into Encore as a DVD menu with a replacement layer where the picture is.
Looks pretty nice with a Gradient fill over the text, but I should be able to remove the text (I hope)?

My algorithm for such problems are:
1. select roughly by some selection tool.
2. use ColorRange to letters with big fuzziness about 150 (depends of background and text color).
3. expand selection by 2-5 pixels to make selection little bit bigger than letters.
4. use Content-Aware Fill.
5. use stamp for perfectionism.
Or sometimes i just stamp it or use Curt Y 'copy-paste' method (if background don't contain kinda gradients, in that case stamping is doable but hard).

Cannot Remove Password From Accdb Database

Access 2007
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I created an accdb database and encrypted it with a password. Now I want to remove the password.
I opened the database exclusively and entered the password. The help instructions say:
2.On the Database Tools tab, in the Database Tools group, click Decrypt Database.
The Unset Database Password dialog box appears.
Unfortunate, the Database Tools group is displaying "Encrypt with Password" and clicking on that brings up the Set Database Password dialog box not the Unset Database Password dialog box.
Is this a known bug?
There is also an Encode/Decode Database in the Database Tools group but there does not appear to be anything in the help information about it.
Decode Database results in a not found response and Encode Database retunrs a link to Encrypt a database by using a database password which refers to the "Encrypt with Password" section of the documentation which refers to "Encrypt with Password" in the Databse
Tools group.
The only way it appears you can remove a password is to create a new unprotected database and import everything from the old one it. Unfortunately, that leaves behind things like the layout of the Relationships window, all property settings, etc.

Hi There,
Sorry for the late response.
I think I have a solution to your issue. I poretty much had the same condition when trying to remove a password. I logged on in EXCLUSIVE mode multiple time and each time I would see the ENCRYPT with Password instead of the "DECRYPT...."
I believe my password contained a few special characters that may have caused the problem with corruption because I also noticed that whenever I tried to COMPACT & REPAIR it would not accept my password that I logged on with. That's why I
figured there is either a bug or corruption.
In either case follow these steps and you should be able to resolve without re-building and importing/exporting objects:
=================================================
If you try changing the database password by
1. Open exclusive mode
2. Click info
3. If the Decruypt button appears then click and change the password.
If not try below
It is possible to remove the password as follows:
Again open Access database in EXCLUSIVE mode
Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window in the Visual Basic Editor. (With MS Access )
Type or copy/paste the following line:
Code:
a) CurrentDb.NewPassword
"enter old password", ""
With the insertion point anywhere in the line, press <Enter.>
Examples
1. Remove the password assume the current password is : SnowFlake123
CurrentDb.NewPassword "SnowFlake123", ""
2. Change the password to SpringWater123” assume the current password is : SnowFlake123
CurrentDb.NewPassword "SnowFlake123", "SpringWater123"
================================================
This worked for me. I used option 1 and removed the password. Then compact and repaired.
Restarted without the password and then ENCRYPTED with PASSWORD. I used a password with upper, lower case and numbers. No special characters.
I tried to follow the steps to remove the passowrd and now my "DECRYPT...." shows up under file, info.

Error returned in Acrobat X Pro when attempting to output pdf full text from Proquest database.

Contacted Proquest and they said to contact Adobe. Recently installed CS5, so I now have newer Acrobat version from before. This newer version isn't playing well. Can anyone help?
This is my original plea to Proquest:
Description:
Recently had Adobe Creative Suite (CS5) installed on my machine. Now when I attempt to download full text pdf I receive an error message when trying to open the downloaded file. "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I can view pdf within Proquest window, but problems occur when I try to open the download - defaults to Acrobat X Pro, not standard Reader. I also get an error message when trying to email it. The only outputting method that seems to work is the Export/Save option.
I tried on another machine that uses Acrobat Reader XI and all worked fine.
BTW - I am working in Firefox.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
