Does anyone know how to import Microsoft Project data into an Access database?
I am looking to use "high level" MS Project schedule data as input to a new Access application that I am currently designing. Is this even possible?
Any help or links to more information is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
AC
A few of my users have recently asked about the possibility of having a MS Access application set up that would allow them to enter data and automatically place that data into MS Project files.
Is something like that doable? If it is, are there web sites that explain how to do something like that? Has anyone out there attempted this, and if you have, would you be willing to share your experiences?
Thanks in advance..... love this forum!
Is there a way to copy columns from MS project into an MS access table? Right now doing a manual copy and paste a column from MS Project into a column in a MS Access table, I was wonder if this can be automated by some macro, vba, etc.

Good morning all,
i have a feeling this could be a simple yes or no answer,, at the moment i am using the 'Import Data Wizard' to pick-up an excel file that is up-dated on a daily basis, this file always sits in the same directory and always has the same file name, ideally i would like to have an action button that draws the data in without having to use the wizard each time,, does anyone know if this is achieveable? if so, anyhelp would be much appreciated.
as always, many thanks
Hi
I've had a search through but to no avail.
I'm trying to import data from an Access query into a blank spreadsheet (Data-Import External Data etc), but it's only giving me a list of the tables in the database and not listing any of the queries. I've never had any problem with this before - I've been able to import queries fine - so I hope someone knows what's going on.
Access and Excel 2002 by the way.
I can't figure this one out. i have a spreadsheet called Skills. It the following layout
NAME CITY STATE SKILL1 SKILL2 SKILL3 SKILL4
joe la ca 1 2 2 3
fred seattle wa 2 1 3 2
alice irvine ca 3 4 2 2
There are 100 skills and hundreds of rows of names.
I'm trying to get the data into Access so I can build a simple form to do searches. I'm thinking I need 3 tables in the database. One for all the Names, City, State. One to contain all the skill names. One to contain all the numbers that pertain to the indiviuals skill level for a certain skill. I can get the skill names into a table and I can get the names, ctiy, state into the second table. I can't figure out how to get the levels (numbers) into a third table and tie all three tables together.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks
I would like to know how to automatically import biometrics data into VB-MSaccess procedure, Right now, I designed the data to manually input in an entry form.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have an Access 2000 database in which i am importing some data programmatically through VB6. However for some reason Access is changing the data that i am sending it (i know it's access doing it as a manual import does the same thing)
Example data (dashes signify different columns 4 total)
8/31/11 - 08:30:45 - 1 - 003
this gets changed by access to
8/31/11 - 8:30:45 AM - 1 - 3
Note it changed the time to am/pm format and my 003 became 3 . I have all the database fields set as TEXT and not numbers / date & time so I would think that it would treat the data literally however that is not the case and my data gets messed up.
How do i tell access to stop messing with the data and treat it literally and not change anything ?
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.

My database is set out weekly and the excel data is set out dailyMy questionWhat would be the best way to convert this data into the database. Changing the database structure around is not an option and i can't change the format we recieve the excel data in. I can change it once i have the file thorough a converter but i can't change the raw source of the dataWhat would be a way to solve this problem because i am completly stummted and am open to any option of converting or anythingThankyou for your time. Also if you have trouble understanding what i mean Please say so and i will upload a copy of the database and a copy of the excel sheet!

I'm looking to import huge excel sheets in access, but normalization process in Access has forced me to divide all the columns in Excel to about 12 tables in MS Access.
How how could I import data from excel sheet columns to 12 different tables?

I face a multiple line problem when i try to import data from Excel to Access db. Is it possible to keep multiple lines of a cell after transferring to Access. Since Access see any ceel of Excel as a Field, it takes all the lines as a line in the same row.
In enclosed, you can see a sample Access document. I put a point(.) between every lines in the same field manually. Is it possible to split up those data from these points and make a new line in the same field by VBA? For example,
BEFORE:
1) 232N1635-2.2) 412N1168-7
AFTER:
1) 232N1635-2.
2) 412N1168-7
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am having the problem of importing a database from Excel/Msaccess 2000 to a Msaccess 2000 database from which the data was originally exported. The Database consists of two tables connected in a querry and the two tables has a unique primary key thru which the two tables are linked using a querry. While importing only two tables are listed in the importing wizard and not the querry.
So how to import the data to the two tables connected by a querry using a primary unique key.
help me the procedure.
lrnathan
thanks in advance
I've got an Excel sheet with +700k rows and 20 columns that I wanted to import to Access. All fields are text except the field that I want to use as a primary key, but I planned to import that as a text as well.
When I used the import wizard, I set all fields to import as text except for three that I set to memo. The wizard didn't say there was any error after importing the data, but when I checked the table, I noticed there were *a lot* of records where many fields where blank. Some fields where completely unaffected by this problem throughout the entire table, but in the rest of them, there is data missing in many records, and when there is data missing, it is not always the same fields that are missing. I have been unable to find any pattern that explains why sometimes the records were imported correctly, and why sometimes they were not.
I am getting "Truncation Error" while importing data from Excel to access 2007. I have tried changing the format to short text but the result is the same.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been consistently getting an error almost every month when I try to load some data that has been input into access, then I have it linked to an excel sheet so that whenever I refresh, the access data imports into excel and updates my pivots, charts, etc.
When my data entry ppl enter data, sometime they forget to enter a code, or something, and when they forget to enter that, it creates some kind of error in the query. The query still runs in access, but shows something similar to " #ERROR#" in the field IF I ever do find it in the access query. The issue is that I cant filter to find that error. I literally have to scan and scroll through thousands of lines of data to try and find this error. When I try to refresh the data in excel, the following error message pops up;
"Data could not be retrieved from the database. Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make Sure the external database is available, and then try the operation again."
In past months I can usually find the #ERROR# by scrolling through access and finding it. Some months I have EXTREME trouble finding the error. It can take hours out of my work day. Is there any way to more easily identify which line these errors are in rather than scrolling through thousands of lines of data? Is there a way to still export the data to excel with the errors still in them?
I haven't seen anyone run into this particular problem on this forum...
I'm importing data from an excel spreadsheet to an MS Access (2007) table. One of the fields in the table is a text memo field able to support more than 255 characters...
Issue:
The issue is that any cell in Excel that is greater than 255 characters is truncated when imported to MS Access even though the field is a memo field. There isn't any documentation on Microsoft's website about this and I don't see any way to work around it other than manually copying the data from excel to MS Access.
Anyone have any input on this matter?
Thanks in advance!
I inherited a defective Access 2010 and am now attempting to import a RECORD consisting of fields of xls data.
I am attempting to import from an existing Form Datasheet so that it overwrites (or appends the new data to the datasheet) from another identical Form Datasheet because it contains an additional 1000 contacts in it.
I have resulted to Using an .mdb file from over a year ago because the current .mdb keeps hitting "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object (Error 3011)"

I have tables and forms setup but I have 3 general questions on how to finish the project.
1. Should I create a folder where all the files reside for instance, create a phone log folder, put the DB file into the folder and export XML's into the same folder?
2. How do I get the form to launch as a self-contained form without the Access application in the background?
3. How can I get this form and table to automatically update an XML spreadsheet whenever records are added?
4. How can I get the form to sort all records according to time logged? The time will be entered in manually and we need all the records to sort automatically by time in ascending order.
Hello,
I have two questions related to deplying an Access project I have been working on.
1. I started developing the project in Access 2000, but midway upgraded to Office 2003 and so the remainder of the project has been developed in Access 2003. Things seem to be fine, except that in the top most title bar, after the project name, there appears the following text:
xxxxx: Database (Access 2000 file format)
where xxxx is the name of the .mdb file.
Why is this appearing and should I have done something or do something to make it a Access 2003 format?
2. I am at the point of deplying the db to a small group of users (about 5). Some of them may have Access 2000 or Access 2002. Should I be doing something in particular to make sure things work in their machines.
Any pointers to what may be problems or what I should do will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
