In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will teach you how to use a FOR NEXT statement in Microsoft Access VBA to count the number of time a specific character occurs in a string. We can use this to also count how many lines are in a long text field (textbox).

Paul from Houston TX (Silver Member) asks, "I get emailed a (text) list of products every day. Next to each product is a + if that product is new. I need to know both of these counts to put in my daily report. Is there a way I can just copy and paste this text into Access and have it count the number of lines and the number of + it finds?"
