Use of LEFT, MID functions in MS Access expression evaluating a SQL pass-thru on an Oracle Backend

As the title above suggests this is a somewhat complex problem.
I have the following expression on a field in a MS Access Make Table query.
Left([SYN4_View Invalid Last Candidates]![LastName],3). The table it is referring to: SYN4_View Invalid Last Candidates is a SQL Pass-thru query on an Oracle backend. So, when the expression attempts to evaluate in MS Access 2003 I get the following error msg:
Undefined function 'left' in expression.
I am assuming this is because LEFT function can't evaluate the output of the SQL P-T. I can't use SUBSTR as Access doesn't recognize it.
I would appreciate suggestions

Left Right Mid Functions, make new row and Merge

Hello -
I don't know if this is possible or not, but I have data that is structured like the following:
Model
Amount
5541 AAA/BBB/CCC
5.96
4000 DDD/EEE
8.98
204
7.32
701 AAA
8.93
I need to compare it with a table I have in my database that has Model and Account columns. The data in my database is structured like:
Model
Amount
5541CEAAA
4.98
5541BEBBB
4.99
5541ABCCC
3.98
4000CEDDD
2.25
4000DEEEE
7.01
204
7.01
701 AAA
7.03
I would like to use Merge to compare the two tables to update the Amount column. I need to get the Model column in a state where I can do that. I somehow think maybe the Right, Left, Mid functions can help separate out the data, but I would think
also that it needs to be separated and put in another row.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Satheesh -
Thanks for your response. The expected results are that the new Amounts from the first table are updated in the second table as follows:
Model
Amount
5541CEAAA
5.96
5541BEBBB
5.96
5541ABCCC
5.96
4000CEDDD
8.98
4000DEEEE
8.98
204
7.32
701 AAA
8.93
Sorry I was unclear!

SQL Concat function seem not to work properly in SQL query data model. BIP 11g

I try to use this function to show entire name CONCAT(name, ' ', surname) and it doesnt show the surname. it looks like it only tooks 2 arguments. I use it with the option "Add element by expression" within a SQL Query - Data set.
Lucia

i don't believe you
please post more info, may be screen or sql or some more useful statement
CONCAT(name, ' ', surname) and it doesnt show the surname
may be because for some case "surname" is empty or may be you incorrect use concat function
one way mentioned by BluShadow is " || " operator - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/operators003.htm#SQLRF51156
and another is concat function http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/functions026.htm#SQLRF00619
so for your case it can be like
CONCAT(CONCAT(name, ' '), surname)

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

Attempting to connect my MacBook to my 4s iPhone. I have had them connected in the past to use the "hands off" function. Today it tells me "network unavailable" make sure network access is enabled. I don't know what to do. I love the hands off feature as my iPhone is never with me when on my mac! I'm not sure what to do. Both are "discoverable" via bluetooth and show up on each device but when I try to connect it says "network unavailable". HELP!

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

Hi,
To access the MIDI ports you will need to call the Windows SDK. To send MIDI commands is relatively easy, here is an example that shows you how to send data to a MIDI controller or keyboard.
As far as input goes, this is the hard part. There are a series of functions that you need to call to open up the device, set some buffers and and possibly a callback to get notifications on the incoming data.
Reading MIDI data will not be an easy task, your best bet will be to implement this in a DLL and call that DLL in LabVIEW, there should be some code available o the web.
= "http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_multimedia_... is a link to the Windows multimedia functions that you could use for MIDI input.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Expand/Collapse a tree using a Left Handed Mouse not working

I have a couple of forms that use a tree item. If I set my mouse to be left handed I can no longer select a node on the tree or expand and collapse the nodes.
I'm using Oracle JInitiator: Version 1.3.1.17 and Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.0.19 (Production).
Is Oracle Forms Leftist? :)
Richard

Hi, stumbled on this today...not a real techie fix but may be useful in your projects...
Left handed mouse setup as per MS Windows Mouse settings only allowed switching of primary and secondary mouse button function...(XP Pro).
Happened upon an NT Workstation and attempted to setup mouse as above, however on this workstation there was an MS Intellimouse set of software (5.2/4.1) in the mouse setup.
I switched the buttons to make it left handed...
Accessed our application and set about navigating the left hand tree, it worked normally single clicking on each node...prior to this the left tree was awkard for left hand mousers.
Installed these drivers on XP machine and same results...left hand tree works fine..
sorry if this low tech but I am a front end user rather than a coder.
Cheers..........Nige

Need the opposite of the Mid function for String fields

My report has a field for last name and I only want the first 14 letters of each last name to show on the report. I figured out how to show the letters beyond 14 using the Mid function. Is there a function to show the first 14 (ie., the opposite of the Mid function)?

Hi Shannyn,
Use this formula:
Left(,14)
This will give you the first 14 letters of each last name field.
I hope this helps.

How can i use the ACL file to control the access from the other website?

Hello all~
My Sun one is 6.1 sp3 on Windows 2003 SE, and I am try to use the ACL file to control the access.
My ACL file is below:
version 3.0;
acl "path=my_path_on_HD";
deny absolute (all)
(user = "anyone") and
(dns = "*.my_site.com");
deny absolute (all)
(user = "anyone") and
(dns = "*.other_site.net");
Once I add the "deny", anyone include my site is decline for vist the path specify in the ACL file. But if remove the "deny", everyone include other one's website can access the file.
Can anybody tell me how to make it work?

I think you've misunderstood what the dns attribute is for. The dns attribute returns the hostname of the client accessing your website, not the hostname of the website that linked to your website.
For example, when someone using the Comcast ISP goes to a malicious website at example.com that loads images from your website at www.amigoo.net, the dns attribute will be something like "c-1-2-3-4.ca.comcast.net", not "example.com". ACLs are used for authentication and authorization of clients (not the websites those clients chose to visit), and they don't provide the functionality you're looking for.
If I understand correctly, you want to prevent websites other than amigoo.net from linking to files in your d:/webserver/imat/pics_upload directory. You can achieve this adding the following lines to your obj.conf configuration file:
<Object ppath="d:/webserver/imat/pics_upload/*">
<Client referer="*~*amigoo.net">
PathCheck fn="deny-existence"
</Client>
</Object>

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

Use of LEFT in Script Logic

I am having one doubt reagrding usage of excel function like LEFT, MID, RIGHT in script logic of SELECT Statement.
Let me know with example if its possible.
I tried the below statement:
*SELECT(%EQACC%,"ID","ACCOUNT","LEFT(ID,6)='BE9001' AND CALC='N' AND ID<>'BE9001010'")
But it throw the error as "invalid select statement"
Anurodh

Anurodh,
what you are trying to do is not supported. As a workaround you can try to create a new property in the dimension (for example IDSHORT), putting in this filed just the first 6 characters of the ID and you can filter on it like in the following example:
*SELECT(%EQACC%,"ID","P_ACCT","IDSHORT='CE0004' AND CALC='N'")
