though my actual application contains 6 tables, I will give an example with 2 to simplify my question:
Say I have a simple DB with a Company table and an Employee table....the only attributes are CompanyID (autonumber/PK) and CompanyName for the Company table and EmployeeID (autonumber/PK) and EmployeeName for the Employee table.
Now I have an excel spreadsheet with Company Names and Employee Names on a worksheet. How can I import these to both tables and keep the relationship of who works where? Keep in mind that I have 6 tables in my actual DB.
Hi Im quite new to access, but Ive got a little database running thats contains balances of customers account over 30 days 60 days etc and logs querys on there accounts, Im given a spreadsheet each week which shows that the customer may have paid something to their account so I need to import these new balances into the table and update the record. Can anyone give me any pointers as how Id achieve this, as append query or import dont seem to fit what I need.
In previous versions of access when importing data from text files a conversion error table was created. In access 2003 this facility no longer appears. It tells me there are import errors, imports the acceptable records but then no errors table. Am I being stupid, have I got something turned off. Many thanks for any support anyone can provide.
common error in VBA imports. It has happened with spreadsheets and text files I have users importing. An error message pops up "Type Mismatch." But the import appears to work correctly. So I added code that On Error, if error Like "*Type mismatch*" continue to next step. Now the user gets a longer error message: "The expression On Click entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Type mismatch." Again, the import still works, but this message is annoying! The even stranger thing is that I do not get this error message on my machine. Just the other users.
I pasted the tables, modules, macros, etc. from one database to another and the only thing left is the Saved Import. How can I get that into another database? It is quite a large import, otherwise i would just recreate it.
I have an Excel file that I use to enter data. About half the columns are validation cells to minimize human error. The validation cells are in rows 2-200. I then import the data into Access.
The problem is that, even if I only enter or select data in one row, Access imports all 200 rows that contain validation cells. I only want the rows in which I've actually entered/selected data to be imported.
I've searched this forum, but may not be using the correct search criteria. I've also searched Google for "Access Imports Blank Validation Cells from Excel" and other variations of the same words, and switched empty for "blank".
Can someone recommend a thread or on-line article that will give me an idea how to work around this?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
PS. Sorry, I wasn't sure under which category to post this. Again, thanks for your time.
I'm having a problem with mdb file size. I'm importing a large amount of data from a number of tab delimited text files via a simple transfertext function. The process goes: empty the tables in the database, then import the data into the tables.
All this works fine, but the file size rockets to over 1.5Gb. When I then compact and repair, it goes down to 420Mb. I'm not deleting and recreating the tables, and at no point is there 1.5Gb worth of real data, so what's causing this?
N.B. I realise I can call compact and repair following the import, but this is going to take too long as they are user-initiated imports.
I'm merging a few databases together. They're fairly simple on their own but I'd like them as one big database. I read that I should import each access database into a new, blank one.
It all works fine, but none of the saved imports and exports come with them. Unfortunately, these imports and exports are relied upon quite heavily.
Is there a way to bring saved imports over from other databases, or will I have to rebuild each one?
I have a data base of ip addresses. I need to come up with a way to bulk assign Host names to the available ip addresses. The only data that is the same between the two tables is a Farm Name which is the same for each record. My first query creates a temp table that lists ip addresses by farm name that do not have a host name. That is my data pool. Then I import from Excel a list of host names (with farm name) that need ip addresses. What I am not sure how to do is "Combine" the tables. Putting a Host Name with an IP address.
Hello im new to this forum and I just recently became involved with access so please bear with me and my many questions. I work for a mining company in Canada and we have training events. These records must be kept showing who attended and what was covered.
I have used the event template and contact template and merged them into one to I have a listing of all employees and their personal information. I have another table with events that say what was taught or shown and so forth. I am trying to figure out the best way to have them register for these events.
Right now I have right now a registration form that has the employeeID and the eventID. The problem is I would like to be able to use a list view and just select the people who attended and with the press of a button have all the registrations be completed dynamically. As right now for each person I have to create a new entry. Hope I was not too confusing, and thanks for the time. Patrick
Hi, I need help with inputting multiple values in a table I am using below statement in asp file and it works fine, when I input one value of name in form , as it takes that value and just input into the table. If it already exists then it just displays error message that this name value already exist in table as name field has no duplicate checked. I need to input multiple records now instead of just one. The current statement I am using is
<% Name = replace(trim(Request("Name")),"'","''")
SQL = "Insert Into table(tableName) Values('" & Name & "')"
objCon.Execute SQL
%>
But now I want to send multiple values from the text box instead of just one value, so I need a loop here. The values in the text box are separated with enter. Please let me know how do I run this query in loop that it will input one name first and then input the second value and then third so forth. (input multiple records instead of just one). Can you please give me the SQL statement for ACCESS or asp querry.
How can i retrive Bulk Data - from Different database into this database table. At the moment i loop through all the records which is not good idea...i want it to be real quick without linking the table...
I heard something like Insert into statement can work but have never used one....
Hi All I hope someone in this forum can help me with this databse issue: I want to load text file to .mdb MS access file. I understand that BULK INSERT is possible only when using SQL Server database - not MS Access like I do. Can someone advice what can be done ? Can you think of an alternate solution, which is also effective (not inserting each record one by one) ? BTW - I'm using ADO on visual studio 6 in order to access the database (not ADO.NET).
I am facing disaster after two months of solid work on this database, the deadline is the morning of the 25th and just when i thought i had got it all working i then put the main bulk of the data into the database and the main search query won't work, it freezes and ends with 'invalid argument', when its the same argument as before when there was less data in it. also the relationships window is acting somewhat strangely, i cant seem to move the tables around within it, this is the same for any databases on my computer (im guessing this could be something to do with my Access on my computer)...
A quick note about the search function. it runs three queries dependent on each other, the master query runs of a sub query which runs off an inititial query (this was found to be a very good way of dealing with null values in the database). two of the the tables it runs off is a one to many relationship with the main table so not all contacts will have that variable, but i don't see why this would affect the query. in short the first query in the sequence searches for a status of a contact, then the second uses these results to search for a sub status then the final query searches for publications contacts want from the sub status query. the three tables it runs from are contacts, status(which includes substatus) and publications.
well, it really is the 11th hour here, quarter past the 11th hour to be honest. short of throwing my computer out the window and running off to a tropical island does anyone have any ideas....????
I've a table containing ebay sales information, let's simplify it...
Code: buyer email product quantity price total Receipt Number A Smith a.smith@acme.com gloves 1 $10.00 $10.00 1 P Brown p.brown@jones.com hat 2 $15.00 $30.00 2
After a lot of faffing about (& learning about sub reports), I've now got access producing a sales receipt from the data....it's in the form of a report (the report generated is one long continuous report, with each page in the report relating to a sales receipt number)
What I want to do now is email each page of the the report (like I say, each page is essentially an individual sales receipt) to the associated email address in bulk.
Therefore there may be 20 sales receipts in a long continuous report, how would I break them out one by one to a pdf file & send it to the correct email address which is contained against the sales receipt number in the same table?!!!
I'd like to add 600+ records at a time to a table (or at least a lot) and do this 1200 or so times. Yes, this is a very big table, its okay and the size is not an issue.
The key here is that speed is very important. I DO NOT want to AddNew and Update a recordset 700k times (one for each new record). I want to add 600 records or so 1200 or so times.
I am open to any way of doing this in VBA and/or SQL in MS Access; however, I am thinking of building an array that has 600 rows and 16 columns, then somehow add that to the table all at once. I will size the array down if it causes problems. That isn't the issue. The issue is how to add a 2d array to a table in bulk (all at once).
Code: Sub test() Dim dbLocal As DAO.Database Set dbLocal = CurrentDb() Dim sql As String 'build my array Dim x(0 To 1, 0 To 1) As Integer
I have put together a VBA sub to run Outlook.Application to send a report to selected email addresses. A Table's records contain an email addresses as well as category for grouping purposes.
I use a "Create Table Query" to extract the selected email addresses from the table into a temporary table called "ETransferAddress" then "Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("ETransferAddress")" then concatenate the email addresses separated with commas.
This works fine for small groups, but the service provider blocks them if the number of email addresses go into the hundreds.
What I need is to break the email addresses into sub groups and then create a series of emails all with the same Report, Subject and Content.
One way might be to create a series of loops to create a number of smaller tables but to string that lot together to achieve it is beyond me at present.
Here is my code to date"
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem Dim strPath As String Dim strFilter As String Dim strFile As String Dim rst As DAO.Recordset 'Create a table with selected addresses
I would like to automate the current process of sending an e-mail with a PDF attachment that is unique to each recipient; it is their test results. I'm sending an e-mail one at a time (which was fine when the number of folks being tested was small, but now I'm up to approximately 200 e-mails and growing each year)
System Environment:
Windows 7 SP1 (64 bit) Office 2010 Professional
Access environment and Process:
1. A qry object/letter is built based on 4 tables (test results, result averages, a global employee list and location)
2. The Report has both static and dynamic text. Examples include: "Dear" [qry-Letter. F_name] and Address Information
a. =[qry-Letters.F_Name] & " " & [qry-Letters.L_Name] b. =[qry-Letters.Position] c. ="Dept " & Right([qry-Letters.Dept],3) & ", " & [qry-Letters.City]
3. The report also includes the employee's results, the session averages (testing is conducted at multiple locations each occurrence is a session) and companywide averages.
4. Report Process: Run the report, entering primary key Emp_ID, report is populated saved (overwritten with the next Emp_ID and printed as a saved PDF.
5. MS Outlook: create a new e-mail, text body is common to all e-mails e.g. "attached are your test results" the PDF is attached and the e-mail sent to the recipient (the e-mail address follows the corporate standard, =Trim([qry-Letters.F_Name] & "." & [qry-Letters.L_Name] & "@abc.com")
I have 12,000 cvs that i need to get into An access database so i can start to extract email info etc. They are stored in one folder All Cvs under each of their names edc.txt (i have converted them to .txt) i want to create one table with two fields name (taken from the cv filename and contents (taken fromthe contents of the .txt file). I am using Access 2007.
I need assigning IDs across tables so I can relate them. I have two tables.
The first table contains data regarding schools. SchoolID [autonumber, primary key] SchoolName SchoolPostcode
The second table contains data regarding children numbers in each year group for each school VaccinationSessionID [Primary Key] SchoolID [want this to match the school id assigned in the first table!] SchoolName WeekofVisit YearGroup StartingDenominator Etc.
In the second table the data was imported from Excel, so all but the School ID was imported. Each school name appears 7+ times in the second table.
How do I get the school ID assigned to a school name in the first table, to automatically assign and fill in the (currently blank) School ID field in the second table? I want to remove school name from the second table eventually, to use the Primary Key school ID in the first table, and Foreign Key school ID in the second table.
i have thousands of data records with hyperlinks that are correct. Each data record shows the actual link (google.com, foxnews.com, espn.com, etc.). However, i want to change all of the records to just say "link" instead of saying espn.com, etc. How can i do this automatically without having to manually right click, edit, and changing the text to display?
I have a ms access table with two fields...tablename is ..."Addresses"..
Field1:= Employee_mail_id Field2:= Leave_balance
What I need to do is that,I need to send individual mail (in Bulk) two each employee intimating their leave balances. Is it possible to do it in vb .I want it to assign the codes in a button.
Below iss the code.
Dim r As Recordset Dim email As String Set r = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select * from Addresses") Do While Not r.EOF email = email & r(2) & ";" r.MoveNext Loop r.Close DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, Null, Null, email, Null, Null, "Test subject", "Message body of the test letter", False, Null
