code that will allow me to take data [All Fields] from a Table in my Database and Insert them into another identically structured Table in another MS Access accdb Database.I would also like to filter for records older than a month [MyDateField]
I have tried the following code I found on line. It doesn't throw an error . . . but it doesn't perform the Insert either.
Code:
Dim ws As DAO.Workspace 'Current workspace (for transaction).
Dim db As DAO.Database 'Inside the transaction.
Dim bInTrans As Boolean 'Flag that transaction is active.
Dim strSql As String 'Action query statements.
Dim strMsg As String 'MsgBox message.
We have an older system that generates txt reports. I take these txt reports, then using Excel, I append the report headers to each record... creating a datatable. I then import this table to Access. I have not been able to figure out how to have Access perform this. In Excel, I use an "if" statement.
I'm currently using the following VBA to export all tables within my DB to Excel on separate tabs:
Dim td As DAO.TableDef, db As DAO.Database Dim out_file As String out_file = CurrentProject.Path & "" & "Backup.xls" Set db = CurrentDb() For Each td In db.TableDefs If Left(td.Name, 4) = "MSys" Then 'We do not need MSys tables in excel file Else DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _ td.Name, out_file, True, Replace(td.Name, "dbo_", "") 'We do not need dbo prefix in sheetnames End If Next
But upon exporting I get the following error:
"Run-time error 3274' External table is not in expected format"
I have a database that contains a series of tables & queries that feed a formatted Excel sheet(s). The problem is it is not very portable.
It works fine on my local computer, but if I give the database to someone else and when the open the Excel template and try to refresh the data from the database they get an error "could not find file C:documents and settingsusername...
If I make a file for them off of documents and settings with my username and put the database in it, it works fine.
So I guess the question is, how do I change the path in Excel to reference the users computer without re-doing all the external queries?
I have recently upgraded from Office XP to Office 2007. I had an Access database which worked fine in Access XP. In it I had a table linked to an Excel spreadsheet. When I entered data on an access form, it updated the Excel spreadsheet [source document] accordingly. This does not seem to work in Access 2007. The linked table option now does not permit data entry or amendement. The other "Get external data" options create a table in Access which also does not update my source Excel document. The idea is to enter data in Access using a form. This data is placed in an excel spreadsheet. Excel gets some lookup values, and then enters these in a Word mail merge. Without the functionality of a linked table and data entry, I cannot produce new reports.
I would also like to automatically attach on the server to this email. Such a file stored such as servernamesharefilename.pdf. Is it possible to do this?
I'm trying to import about 18 excel spreadsheets into one database in Access. I've been using "get external data" to import the spreadsheets as tables, and the first 8 of them worked fine, but now I cannot import any more excel files. The only error message I'm getting is "An error occurred trying to import file 'C:....xls' The file was not imported." And this error pops up after I have gone through all of the importing steps. Did I exhaust Access's resources? It's not a format issue, and I've restarted, etc. I'm at a loss.
Running Office 365 (Access 2013). Recent problem occurrence. When I do an 'External Data' command, either from another Access database or an Excel file, the import completes, but I don't see the new table immediately in the navigator section. If I import from another Access database, the new imported tables appear as '~TMPCLP....' tables. If it's from an Excel workbook, the new table doesn't appear at all. It's only after I exit the database and reopen it do I see the new tables correctly named.
I have an Excel file with a name range "DBIAS" which identifies all database data.
Then I have an Access file with a form to import that database (better, that named range) into an Access table. While importing, I have to filter some records or grouping by some field.
I cannot run correctly a VBA code to get data (filtered and/or grouped) from that name range and save those records to an existing or a brand new table.
I could get those data as DAO.recordset and printed out with "Debug.print" on immediate window, but I cannot complete the final step: writing those records to a table.
I'm new to this. I'm trying to enter data (it's actually Latitude and Longitude co-ordinates) from an existing Excel source into an Access database which has input masks of 00°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Latitude) and 000°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Longitude) in the respective fields. However I cannot get the information to import or display correctly. I did an "export data" of the respective table (hence fields) to Excel to try and get the correct entry format. An example of the Lat exported was 24°49'41.81"N and Long was 067°01'44.02"E (but with a very small ' in front but only visible in the data entry line in Excel, not in the actual spreadsheet table???)
However when I try to enter the data (even using the exact same little degree symbol, apostrophe, and quotation marks) it does not enter the access fields correctly. On closer scrutiny of the exported Excel format I note a small ' at the very beginning of the 24°49'41.81"N or 067°01'44.02"E string. But as I said previously only visible in the data entry line next to the formula button. Not on the spreadsheet cell.
However even when I "Paste Special" "values only" my new co-ordinates into the same entry location as one exported, it will still not import, or display correctly. If I go into the Access database directly there is a form where if I need to enter the new co-ordinates (using lat example above) I only have to enter 24 49 41 81 N (spaces between) and it will show correctly as 24°49'41.81"N
I'm getting desparate as I don't want to have to change all the details manually. Anyone know what my correct format from an Excel spreadsheet should be?
Apologies for lengthy story! Difficult to describe problem with degree symbols etc
I am using Access 97 & Excel 97 for this problem. I have a Access query which takes the contents of three tables and exports them to Excel. However, the query has now reach 69000+ records and increases by about 1000+ records ever month. So what I need to do is create as many WORKSHEETS within a single Excel WORKBOOK as necessary to accomodate all of my Access data. I have written a piece of code which will create seperate WORKBOOKS for each 65000+ of records but then what I want to do is code the almagamation of these WORKBOOKS into 1.
In short, after the first WORKBOOK is created I use code to make that the active WORKBOOK and then I want to import into that the other WORKSHEETS in the other WORKBOOKS.
I am using the folowing DIM's:
Dim X As New Excel.Application Dim WkBook As Excel.WorkBook Dim WkSheet As Integer Dim ExcelSheet As Excel.Worksheet
ExcelSheet therefore is the current WORKSHEET within the Excel spreadsheet I want to import into.
Any advice on the command to perform a transfer of WORKSHEET data between Excel WORKBOOKS?
I'm new member this site.I have a problem my access project and I have request help you.
My problem. My project has two table and two form .Order (Main Table&Main Form) and Order_Subform (Sub Table&Sub Form) When i click 'Send to Excel' button in Order form it's sending data to Excel file Order.xls but it's only sending one line in order_subform to Excel Order.xls. it is not sending other line. I hope, could I able to explain my concern
I created a form which is opened by a query, it displays several fields. I need to find a way to export/add these results into a new access table. I need to do by using a button..
I am trying to build a database to store product information and also the product page in HTML. I was able to do this in MS Access, however the export process would alter the code....(the field is in long text, and in Rich Text format)
For example, this is the code I store in the table:
I have made a access database which captures new booking information and i then want to export this to a pre-existing excel doc which has formulas in which will work out how long it took my team to process it.
So my question really is to see if it possible to just keep adding data to an excel doc that i have created?
I am trying to export certain values which are in combo box of MS Access to excel sheet. But what's happening is its populating ID of the field instead of Field Name.
I am trying to move data in one table to a table in an external database and Access isn't playing ball. Supposedly you can use the 'IN' clause to link to an external database but if I put it in then I get 'Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement' and if I take it out it works fine not that, that is what I want. It's syntax seems to be defined like below at the MS website - jet reference???
I've also got a parameter that I'm trying to feed it, that is the path to the database, which is correct! c:helpcontent.mdb
Here's the query INSERT INTO CONTENT_CLASSES IN '"+ @DBDir +"' ( PARENT_ID, CLASS_NAME, STATUS_ID, KEYWORDS, PRIORITY, LAST_CHANGED_BY, LAST_CHANGED_DATE, MULTIPLE_CONTENT ) SELECT A.PARENT_ID, A.CLASS_NAME, A.STATUS_ID, A.KEYWORDS, A.PRIORITY, A.LAST_CHANGED_BY, A.LAST_CHANGED_DATE, A.MULTIPLE_CONTENT FROM CONTENT_CLASSES AS A;
I was wondering is there a way to open up another database from within a database? Not to combine but just to open another one up instead of looking for it on a drive....
