I've build an Excel workbook that contains extensive use of VBA code for UserForms, Control Buttons, etc. and also contains several sheets that are formatted as Tables and function as databases. We've outgrown Excel's capabilities and need to move over to Access.
View RepliesThis being my first post, id like to thank everyone who contributes here.. ive been watching this site for a while, and its been a simply amazing source of knowledge.
Now that the sucking up is over, HELP! 8)
Im developing a database that is going to take over tracking point to point connections between servers and switches in our data center. The system that the users currently use now is a simple flat excel spreadsheet.
Im wondering if there is a way to allow users to enter data in a format that they are familiar with... Tables 'look' the same but unfortunately for the people that I work with they dont (seem to) have the mass editing capabilities that they current work with.
Im using access 2002 currently at work, shortly I will be on 2003. Ive tried to play with the excel add ins that are included with my version, but I havent seen any way to directly link the excel add in to a table in my database, and definately havent found a way to pick and choose information to be manipulated in the cells (via code) in the excel interface.
Id really prefer not to have to have users use excel outside of the database in any form. I am aware that I could probably achieve what I want via importing excel files in the background and what not, but this doesnt achieve the goal that i am after, which is migrating the users out of excel and into access.
I hope I have explained myself thoroughly enough. If anyone has any input on a direction that I should look it would be appreciated. Im not the best with access, however I would consider myself intermediate to expert with coding and whatnot.
Thank you!
Hi,
Hope someone can assist me with this question:
Let's say I have a Table with many Product IDs records..
Product ID (Number)
Hyperlink Field (with a Hyperlink to an external Excel file)
What I would like to do is to create a Hyperlink that not only will it open the Excel file but it will also search and select the Product ID (in Excel) of the record on which the Hyperlink was clicked in Access.
Is this possible or am I just wishing too much?

I have a procedure in Access that exports three reports to Excel, combines them in a single workbook, and then applies Excel formatting to some of the sheets. This procedure works the first time, but if I run it again it fails. In particular, I notice that things like "ActiveCell" and "Selection" will continue to refer to the previous workbook (dim xlWkb), even though I've activated the current worksheet/workbook.
Code:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWkb As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlBwkb As Excel.Workbook
[code]....
'BillingTemp, etc. are defined earlier in the procedure. I essentially am exporting Access reports to temporary Excel files, and then opening the files and putting them in a single workbook.
Set xlBwkb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(BillingTemp)
xlBwkb.Sheets(1).Copy After:=xlWkb.Sheets(1)
xlBwkb.Close False
Set xlBwkb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(PrismTemp)
xlBwkb.Sheets(1).Copy After:=xlWkb.Sheets(2)
xlBwkb.Close False

'After combining the exported reports into one Excel workbook, I apply some formatting to some of the sheets.

I'm importing data from Excel to Access using Access VBA which works fine that sheet name is first sheet in workbook. However, if multiple sheets exists in the workbook and that particular sheet can be 2 sheet, 3 sheet or any sheet. In that case how to search particular sheet name and import in access. Below is the code I have used for importing the data.
Code:
objAccess.DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
sTmpTableName, sInput_Dir & "" & sInputFileName, True, sFile1Wks & "!"
I would like to open an Excel workbook from MS Access and clear cell contents, or just delete some records in a specific worksheet.
If you open the test workbook, cell contents in RAW need to be deleted by calling from Access.
I have produced some code but it's partially working.
Code:
Sub TestFileOpened()
' Test to see if the file is open.
If IsFileOpen("test.xls") Then
' Display a message stating the file in use.
MsgBox "File already in use!"
[Code] ....
If you put this in a standard module in access, the function works, but the part that doesn't work is where it says "activesheet". It somehow tries to recognize it as a variable, but it's not going to be a variable.
I have a question about the best way to go about linking an excel workbook to an ms access table? I have researched hyperlinks and attachments and ole objects and I am not sure what is the best option. I believe hyperlinks will be best, because the attachments will bloat the database, but I am not sure how to go about doing that in vba? My process is such:
1)Users enter project information
2)Users enter the sample information for each project
3)The project and sample information is combined by a query
4)The user clicks a button to print forms, which runs the query and opens an excel workbook template.
5)The data is exported to a specific sheet in the workbook
6)Using vba in excel, the data is used to populate cells in different sheets depending on critera.
After all of this is accomplished, I need the user to SAVE AS the excel workbook and it needs to be "attached" to the ms access 'project' table. I am not sure what is the best way to link this back to the database. I would like to automate it with vba if possible.
I have an access query with around 10 columns. One of the columns is city. There are total of 5 unique cities. I need a macro for the button in the access report that will export the data from the access query to the ONE excel workbook in such a way that each city filtered data from access is exported to city name worksheet. So Excel file would have in total of 5 worksheets with the relevant city data.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have an Excel file with multiple worksheets using VLOOKUPS betweent he sheets and various formulas within the sheets, mainly basic arithmetic and also ROUNDUP.
I am wanting to transfer all this over to Access so that it can be edited by 2 computers at the same time and I need all the formulas to go with it. What's the easiest way to do this? I'm not a very experienced Access user and basically have no idea how to put in formulas in Access.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to email to the excel file to anyone who wants to take a look.
Thanks,
Michael
The data I have in excel is basically everything about the "site". In access this cant be stored in one table.
What's the best way to move data from excel into access across multiple tables? I was hoping I could create a query and assign the columns from excel to the columns in the query. but I cant see an option for this.
I am treying to move data from an Excel worksheet to Access. My code is below. My program does not like my "Set rs = OpenTable("GL")" line

Hello,
sorry to post again my question but just cannot find a solution.
I have a table and would like to copy data into a template in excel. I know that the code will have to make a copy of the template and then copy the data into the new workbook into sheet1.
My table (table1) has 3 fields: SSN, FNAME and LNAME.
I want to copy these fields into cells B1 (for SSN), B2 (for FNAME) and B3 (for LNAME).
I will use a combo to select the recorset to copy.
My problem is how to copy data into the template. I understand that it is necessary to run a copy of the template and then copy the data into the new xls file.
Is there a way I can do this via code? Code help is appreciated. Thank you.
I have 5 fields(First,Second,Third,Sum,Sum1). The Sum field is the sum of the first, second and third. In excel I am using the following formula/expression to calculate the Sum1 field =IF(E1<0,E1+10,E1+0 - and it brings back single digit.
e.g.
First=3, Second=5, Third=8, Sum=16, Sum=6
Can I do this in an Access query, if so how?
Thanks in advance for any help.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using Office 2007 and trying to export a table in Access to a Macro-Enabled workbook in Excel. Unfortunately, when I go to export the table, my file does not show when I browse for the file and .xlsm doesn't look like it's a supported file extension. I have looked around and noticed others have this problem as well. One solution was to use save the Excel file as a 97-2000 file since it doesn't change the file extension based on having macros. However, I can't do this because then I lose functionality with tables and other things on my spreadsheet. I need the data in Excel to be updated every month. Is there any way to do this in Access? I'm going to explore using sharepoint. My DB options are limited to Access and Sharepoint. I don't have access to Oracle or SQL Server or MySQL etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere's my problem. I run a database every monday that has several (more than 15) reports as the outcome. Due to the massive amount of information we can't build the data up every week. We need to overwrite the tables and recreate the "Reports" every week. The department I am creating this for wants to keep a snapshot on the computer of the 15+ reports instead of printing them out. But instead of simply creating a snapshot of each individual report he would like to see them in the format of one file with multiple sheets. The one file would be labeled the date the reports were created and each individual sheet would be labeled the name of the report. For example, This past monday when we rant he Db the file would have been lbld 10-3-05, and one of the many sheets would have been labeled "Selects", or "Rejects" or "Cost" and so on. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I want to have a program where the balance of an account is always updated and stored in a column. In oracle I would use pl/sql, does Access have a similar capability?
Also I want to be able to add and subtract date types, for example, to get entries from the last month. Oracle date type can do this, does the Access date/time datatype do this?
I'm using the MS Access 2010 ExportwithFormating action to export three tables to a single MS Excel 2010 workbook. The action overwrites the first excel worksheet each time instead of saving all three worksheets in a single excel workbook.

I have some vba code that exports the results of a query to a specific excel workbook. Code in this workbook then takes the exported data to "fill out" areas in the workbook. My staff will then use this workbook to perform analysis on a project. After they have completed the analysis, they will then save the excel workbook, and another person will then validate this excel and turn it into a PDF to send as an email attachment.
My question is, when my staff saves the excel workbook, is there a way they can save it directly to the access database? If not, would there be a way to use vba to "attach" this excel workbook to the appropriate record in the access db for future use?
