Fix Typos with Field Substitution, Update Queries


 S  M  L  XL  FS  |  Slo  Reg  Fast  2x  |  Bookmark Join Now

In this tutorial, I will show you how to handle field value substitutions in Microsoft Access to manage and correct misspelled entries without restricting user input. We'll explore how to create a standardized list for data such as country names, while still allowing for freeform input. You'll learn how to set up a country table to correct common misspellings like "US" to "USA," and how to create an update query to automate these corrections. This video offers practical solutions for improving data consistency when users enter non-standard spellings in databases.

Brandon from Torrance, California (a Platinum Member) asks: I have a bunch of country names spelled wrong in my Customer table. Is there an easy way to fix them without forcing users to choose from a set list? I still want people to be able to type in whatever they want since I don't want to keep a complete list of all the countries.
