Table Created By Files
Feb 23, 2007I'm using access2003 and i want to organize a large amount of files in my company. There are thousands of files and I'm breaking the files up based on the dates. I want to create a table that automatically looks in each folder and links the job file with the job folder. This way I can create a custom query so a user just types in the job name and it will display what folder it is in. Can anyone out there help? Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedMultiple Files Into One Table
Jan 7, 2005Hi, I'm new to Access, but I think I've been doing fairly well. At my job, we use multiple Word tables and excel spreadsheets to keep track of information on journals we subscribe to. (I work in the periodicals/serials department of the university library.) We have a LOT of journals and a lot of information on each one.
I have already imported our "superholdings" file, which includes the names of the journals and a few bits of information on each one. What I want to do is import other bits of information from the other files into that same table. I tried importing the files into the existing table, but rather than merging all of the data for each journal title, it simply added the new records to the bottom. I tried importing the files as new tables and joining the tables with the title fields, but that didn't do what I wanted.
Really, I just want to merge all of the data. If the Title's match exactly, then I want all of that information in one record for that title. I have been VERY consistent with field names.
I'm new to Access, but I learn fairly quickly. I notice on this forum (I've read a LOT of the posts looking for answers to this question, and got answers for other questions) that most of the solutions involve coding or programming of some sort. I have NEVER done this in access. If the solution to my problem involves this, please tell me where I'm supposed to type those commands. I'm somewhat familiar with softcode (from a mux (talker environment) I started frequenting in college), but never have programmed anything. (Not since basic on our old IBM XT!!)
Okay, an example is forthcoming, once I figure out how to do it in this little window.
Thanks,

Importing Over 2000 Csv-files In One Table
Jan 8, 2007Hello,A plc is writing a profile to a csv file each minute. In order to make an analysis I need to put all these profiles together in one file. I wrote a small VBA function which works fine under the 1000 csv files. It's not a very smart function, but it works. However after the weekend i need to combine a lot more files into 1 table and when Access reached about 1050 records,I get an invaled input message. The csv file is intact. I think the function creates a memory overflow by opening and closing the table after each imported record. Does anyone have a possible solution for this?I just noticed in my explorer that the access database is 2 Gig big!! So i really looks like an improper call of function and closing.Below is the code I use. The number of files to be imported I get from a small textbox, with input from the user.Thanx in advance,OviparousDim counter As IntegerDim filex As StringPrivate Sub Knop2_Click()counter = CInt(Form_Formulier1.Tekst0.Value)On Error GoTo macro_import_profile_ErrDo until counter = 0 filex= "f:profielen" + CStr(counter) + ".csv" DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "0 Importspecification", "profile", filex, False, "" counter = counter - 1 LoopForm_Formulier1.Visible = Falsemacro_import_profile_Exit: Exit Submacro_import_profile_Err: MsgBox Error$ Resume macro_import_profile_ExitEnd Sub

Rename Old Files With New Filenames In A Table
Jan 12, 2005This is complex, but here goes.
I am copying many many music cds to my hard drive. However, the song file names on the cds are track01.mp3, track02.mp3, etc. I have all the real songnames for each cd listed in the database. I need a way to rename the songs with their real names one cd at a time. My thought was to populate one table with the directory and filenames (track--) of the songs and populate another table with real songnames from the database. Then, somehow, rename the files. I'm lost. I hope someone can help!
VBA Commands To Import DBF Files Into New Table
Feb 26, 2015I've been creating an automated way for users to import an existing DBF III file into an Access Table and then I'll be doing some other things after it's in. The user needs to be able to click a command button to open up a file picker, select the desired DBF and then click import and have it be imported into a new table.
Originally I had this all working because there was only one possible file name for the DBF file in each folder so instead of using a file picker I used a folder picker and supplied the file name in the VBA code as it was static.
However, I now need the user to be able to select a specific file and the name could be anything.
I've successfully edited the file picker to allow them to select a file however the importing is an issue. In order to do a TransferDatabase command I need the file path alone for DatabaseName and the file name alone for Source.
What would be the best way to split those two pieces of data up once the user has selected the file they need?
Copying Data From One Table To Another (two Files)?
Jan 30, 2012I have two identical access databases. I copied the master file to my desktop to work on it while someone else was in the shared file. I edited about a hundred rows in the Data Entry table (the records exist in both files), and now I want to copy those changes back over to the master file without messing up any of the other data. I'm not sure what the other people changed in the file, I just know what records I have that need to be copied over. Again, they exist in both files, I just want to overwrite the records in the other file with my updated records without affecting other data.

Apr 23, 2007Hi Everyone,
I have a PO table. Each PO has 3 documents of multiple types (one may be Word, other may be Excel, Acrobat). When I display the PO, the attachments should be shown as Icons, which when double-clicked, will open in its own Application.
I have a pop-up screen where I enter new PO details. In this screen, I have Attach/Detach buttons for each of the Documents.
My Requirement:
When I press 'ATTACH' of Doc1, the File Selection screen should be displayed from where the user will select the file to be attached. This file should be updated into the table field "doc1".
When I press 'DETACH' of Doc1, the file in table field "doc1" must be cleared.
How can I achieve this???:mad:
Exporting Multiple Csv Files From A Single Table
Mar 19, 2008Hi guys. I'm a bit of a noob with Access. I have a table which is 15 rows by 250,000 columns. So there are about 3.75m records.
What I need to do is to get access to export a number of csv files automatically from this table.
I need each csv file to contain all the data in the table for a certain range of rows. This is determined by a value in a particular column. This is a sample of the table.
http://i30.tinypic.com/aljf5s.jpg
Basically Store_Nbr represents a UID for a particular store. All the data is currently in one big table, and I need a single csv file for each different store_nbr (so it contains all the data in the table for each unique store). Also, for each store_nbr, there are different Year Month of Surveys. For each store_nbr, I need a different csv file for each Year Month of Survey. This will probably divide up the 250,000 long table into about 200 csv files, as there are about 50 different Store_nbrs, and there are 4 surveys for each individual store.
Sorry if I've not made myself perfectly clear.
I'm sure there's a simple way of doing it, but I really do suck with access and was wondering if you guys had any idea.
Many many thanks!!!
Cheers

View 1 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Update Table From TIFF Files
Dec 18, 2014My database generates forms with a unique number displayed as a barcode. The paper forms are completed by employees and then scanned into a folder on the network in .TIFF format. I have seen other databases that can somehow pick up files like this and update the forms status in the database (i.e., Completed), assign a completion date and create a link to the file (a PDF actually).
I would really like my database to be able to do this but dont even know where to start. How do I get the file names for the .TIFF files to match the barcodes during the scanning process? How do I get Access to check a Completed field for each document in the folder? How do I get Access to put a link to the file in a field in the table?
Modules & VBA :: Import Files Listed In A Table
Jul 20, 2015I have a folder that gets updated with a few new xml files every day. I need to import the data in these files into a table. The names of the files to import is in a field (FName) in a table (tblFiles).
The code that loads up the files is this:
Application.ImportXML DataSource:="C:ImportXML FILES" & FileName & ".xml", _
ImportOptions:=acAppendData
Up until now I specify the name of the file in an inputbox, so I have to enter a bunch of names to get it done.
I am looking for a way to get the filename from the table and then load up the file automatically.

Import Multiple Text Files Into Single Table
Dec 18, 2004Hello everyone!
Here is my problem:
I have an Access database that contains a table with three columns (A & B & C). Field A is for code values and field B is for the value for that particular code. Field C holds the case number. I have a folder that contains the information for over 5000 case numbers. Each case number needs to be placed inside of the table. Considering there are 5000 case numbers, I dont want to use the import wizard 5000 times.
Furthermore, the text file only has two columns (for A and B).
I am trying to create a VBA that will append rows to the table by going into each file and placing the information into the table. The first row for each file contains the case number. So when the VBA runs, it should open the text file get the case number from the first row (field B on the text file) and place that in the case number field of the table for the entire file; and then repeat this action for all of the files in the entire folder.
Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Modules & VBA :: Renaming Files Based On Records In A Table
Oct 16, 2014Code to rename photos (Access 2010). The new name (full path) is listed on a table (although I would love to accomplish the task from the list query that I later used to generate the table). There is one field in the table (or query) called OldPath and one field called NewPath. The table name is RenPaths. Both paths are located in the same drive. I want to rename the file in a new folder. I created the new folder which is contained in the NewPath.
I was trying to accomplish this using the Name function
Name OldPath as NewPath
Here is the full code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim OldPath As String
Dim NewPath As String
OldPath = "Select OldPath From RenPaths"
[Code] ....
Here is an example of the paths in my table:
Old Path is - C:UserskcrespoDocumentsFulcrum to MACPFulcrum_Export_a97dee97-ba92-455e-9d5c-3b35617ad357SAA Inspection Form367e14e0-439b-4a50-99e1-9154bcc9e3f7.jpg
New Path is - C:UserskcrespoDocumentsFulcrum to MACPFulcrum_Export_a97dee97-ba92-455e-9d5c-3b35617ad357SAA Inspection FormimageswwMH51856_A3f7.jpg
Im getting an error: Run time error '53': File not found
I checked the OldPath and everything is correct so if the code is working correctly it should have found the file.
