General :: Embedded Excel Files

Feb 14, 2013

pretty Excel sheet full of conditional formatting that is used as a vehicle assignment board where I work. I know I can embed the file into an Access form using an unbound object, and therefore "integrate" it into Access, however this creates a copy of the file, and therefore when people change the sheet, the original Excel file is not updated. Is there any way to embed the excel file in such a way that the Excel document itself is also updated? Basically some sort of an active, two-way link rather than what amounts to just importing a copy of it? I need to be able to pull data from various cells in that Excel file so it needs to be kept up-to-date.

Forms :: Open And Save Doc / PDF Files Within A Form?

May 21, 2014

In a record, I want to have a text box which displays the file path to a .pdf or .doc, docx file. If you double click in the text box the file within the text box opens. If there is no file path I want a small command button to be visible next to the text box, which will launch an explorer that will locate and save the path of a chosen .pdf or .doc, docx file.

I have a field within a tblPriceList called quotefile, which I want to store the file path.

For info. This is not going to be a major multi user database, but the quote files will be stored on a vserver, not the PC the DB is being used on.

Can I Batch Import Multiple Excel Files?

Jun 22, 2007

I have 100 or so 2-sheet excel workbooks. I need to import them all into an access table for analysis. They are all exactly the same format/layout etc but obviously have different data in them (they are customer satisfaction surveys). I only want to export 1 out of the 2 sheets on each workbook (the other is a front end, the data sits behind in sheet 2).

So, at the moment I have to go to 'get external data' > 'import' > select excel and then double click each file individually and then go through the import wizard. Now, I can get them all into one table but it's clearly time consuming.

Is there anyway of doing a batch import of multiple excel files to cut out the manual work described above? Or can anyone suggest a lateral get around?

Any help much appreciated. I should say that I am running excel 2003 and access XP (2002)

Matt

General :: Link Excel Files To Access DB

Sep 11, 2012

So I've just started with a company where my job is to manage a ton of data. I am new to Access (2010) and am completely impressed by all the awesome things it can do. However, I am running into some issues with knowing the best way to get my current data (which is all in Excel spreadsheets) into Access.

We are working with about 68 customers in 6 different focus areas (or areas of improvement). To make it easier for them, my company has not required them to enter all their data for each area into a centralized database. Instead, we are pulling reports (into Excel) from 3 different databases. The customers who are not currently submitting data to these databases are sending us Excel spreadsheets with their data (they send a seperate spreadsheet for each focus area). So you can see where my problem lies ... NOTHING is the in the same format. Even then the Excel spreadsheets look different from month to month (and customers submit a new, updated form every month with the current month and previous months) because the people managing the data before I came along changed the format a few different times and the customer has the ability to change them too.

Basically, I would really really really like to be able to just link the Excel files to my database, but I am struggling knowing how to do that with my data in so many different places and forms.

Queries :: Import Multiple Excel Files

Jul 17, 2014

I have been trying to write a macro that will do the following:

- Look to a specific folder in my home drive (nb this may change)
- select all of the excel files that are in that folder
- select various cells in each of those spreadsheets - each spreadsheet is formatted the same with the same structure. The cells are random, e.g. D6, I22, H4, K4, D17, so I cannot select a whole range
- copy these cells and paste them into one row of a database

Modules & VBA :: Open Files With Hyperlinks And Send As Attachments?

May 15, 2014

I have a database which has several records with at least 5 documents needing to be attached to each record. Using attachments or OLE would cause considerable bloat, so I opted for hyperlink fields for all the document types necessary to save with each record. However, now I am faced with an issue. It is easy enough to write code to open the files by following the hyperlinks, as well as write code to send an email, but how would I go about combining the two? I need to write a code that will attach these documents to an email, as attachments and not as hyperlinks. I know with excel documents, I could follow the hyperlink and send the document by email through excel, but I also have images converted to pdf's that need to be sent as attachments.

Modules & VBA :: Importing Excel Files - How To Add Additional Columns

Dec 31, 2013

I need to add two additional columns for each imported spreadsheet, which are not in the original files.

First column, named 'Customer Name', needs to retrieve information from cell A6 in Excel file, which is not part of range "name" that is imported to Access. If necessary, I could somehow include it in this range but then I still would have a problem of how to repeat a value of A6 in each row of table in Access.

Second column, named "File Name", I would like to include an Excel file name from which data was imported. Again, I would like to repeat value for each row in the table, i.e. if I have 6 rows with data from file X, I would like to repeat X.xlsx in each row in column "File Name".

Code:
Dim strFile As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM Data;"
' Set file directory for files to be imported
strPath = "C: est"

[Code] ....

Modules & VBA :: Saving Excel Files Through Access In Particular Directory

May 4, 2014

I am using Access to save an Excel file in a particular directory. The code was created about 10 years ago and hence saves the file with .xls extension and I would like to save with a .xlsm extension. If I just change the .xls to .xlsm, in the code below, the file is saved but the Compatibility Checker comes up (I would like to stop this) and when the file is reopened I get an error message stating there is a file extension problem and the file won't open.

Code:
strExt = ".xls"
'If .txtFriendlyName <> "" Then
' strDestFileName = .txtFriendlyName
'Else
' strDestFileName = Left(objFile.Name, Len(objFile.Name) - 4) & MakeFilePosfix(Now())

General :: Recovered Files Changed To Excel Extensions?

Feb 23, 2013

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall Access 2010 a new computer with Windows 8 and put my Access files on the computer from my backup USB drive. If I attempt to open the Access files from the USB drive, the computer has attached the Excel icon in front of the file name, even tho the type of files says ACCDB, and attempts to open with Excel. I get the following message: "'the file is not in a recognizable format".

The interesting thing is that if I open Access 2010 first and then 'find' the same file that I moved from the USB drive to my desktop, the file will open even tho it has the Excel icon.

How do I change my Access back to where they have the Access icon preceding the name, rather than the Excel icon?

Access Query - Export To Multiple Excel Files

May 21, 2015

I have a basic access query (MACs Report Template) that I need to export into multiple excel files based on the 1st field (Plan ID).

Example:

PLAN ID
Number
Amount
Status

AM141
12345
100
Disconnected

AM141
54321
5000
Active

AM142
11122
2000
Disconnected

AM155
22334
500
Disconnected

I need this to create a spreadsheet for each unique PLAN ID. Ideally i want it to export the following:

MACs Report AM141 20150521.xls (both records above should be in this report)
MACs Report AM142 20150521.xls
MACs Report AM155 20150521.xls
