    Access 2010 Report Find and replace from table

    Good day,



    I have a table with field "description" and "comments" both are memo.
    Another table "List" with keyword.
    In a report concatenate the two fields (description and comments) in one "description".
    Now I need any keyword from the table "List" to wrap text.

    Example - List table (keyword)
    Not available
    Offer:
    Delivery time:

    Example Report
    Description: AAAAA
    Comments: BBBBB Offer: XXXX Delivery time: 2 working days
    Concatenate: AAAAA BBBBB Offer: XXXX Delivery time: 2 working days
    Request in the report the field "description" to be:

    AAAAA BBBBB (wrap text - new line)
    Offer: XXXX (wrap text - new line)
    Delivery time: 2 working days


    Thank you in advance.

    You want to insert carriage return and linefeed into the Comments string? Will need VBA code custom function to modify the string.

    This is why distinct data should be in separate fields. Concatenation of fields is easier than splitting data.

    Just had nova flare up in my head. This query will produce the result you want:

    SELECT *, Replace(Replace([Comments],"Offer",Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Other"),"Delivery",Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Delivery") AS T
    FROM Table1;

    Dear June7,
    Actually I use the following in the control source of the report in the field "description".

    =IIf(DCount("[fWrap]","List","[fWrap] Like '*" & Left([Comment],2) & "*'"),[Description] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Comment],[Description] & " " & [Comment])

    The above code no work correctly as I need (see example 1).
    The correct way must be as example 2

    Use the Replace expression in query or in textbox ControlSource.

    I understand but I have to use the "List" tabletwith the keyword as the List tablet increase with additional items.
    How I can use the List table instead of single words"Delivery time:, Offer:" etc.

    I am sorry for misunderstanding.
    Please read the first my post, I have a table with keyword (List.tab).
    In this table are the words that every time that are included in the description or comment has to create a new line.
    That is the reason that I cannot use only a few words in the replace function as you have indicated me.

    That clarifies the original post. VBA only solution I can see.
    Code:
    Function WrapString(strCom)
        Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
        Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
        rs.Open "SELECT fWrap FROM List;", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenDynamic, adLockPessimistic
        While Not rs.EOF
            strCom = Replace(strCom, rs!fWrap, vbCrLf & rs!fWrap)
            rs.MoveNext
        Wend
        WrapString = strCom
    End Function
    Call the function from query or textbox: WrapString(Nz([Comments],""))
