Re: [MS_AccessPros] String will not appear in a label

 

Art,

You can use the Instr() function to return the position the comma or any other string inside a larger string. Combine this with Left(), Right(), or Mid() to get what you want.

Regards,

Art-

Where is gstrThisEmpName defined, and is it defined as Public or Global?  The fact that you're getting nothing except "Hello" tells me the variable isn't set or isn't Public or isn't in the public domain or hasn't been set yet when you set the Caption property.

I have a variable which is gloablly defined as gstrThisEmpName as String. It is assigned a vale during the login process:

gstrThisEmpName = Me.cmbUserID.Column(1) which will assigne the name value as Doe, Jane.

WHen I pass this value to the next form in the the Form_Load statement:

  Me.lblLoginName.Caption = "Hello " + [gstrThisEmpName] the only thing that appears is the word Hello. I have tried it like   Me.lblLoginName.Caption = "Hello " & [gstrThisEmpName] and it does the same thing. 

Also I would like to concatenate the   [gstrThisEmpName] string to reflect just the first time basically all the characters after the comma. Any ideas?

Thank you,
