Calculated Field In Access Query Contributes To Crashing Excel Table Upon Import

Oct 24, 2012

I have a simple calculated field (As "Ratio") that is readable in Access 2010 query, but crashes in Excel upon importing/running the query in an .xlsx table.

ERROR MESSAGE in EXCEL: "The query did not run, or the database table could not be opened...check database server..contact your database administrator.."

I am simply taking the cost amounts of each project record (shown as "Record Cost") and dividing it by the "Total Cost" of that project to render "Ratio".

The Total Cost is retrieved from another table.

Testing scenarios:
If we exclude Ratio, the whole query import just fine.
If we filter the query to one project (i.e. "Project A") the ratio field imports fine.

However, the whole unfiltered query does not with the ratio!

Other testing scenarios:

If we use a constant for the denominator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. recordcost/1) the whole unfiltered query and ratio field imports fine.

If we use a constant for the numerator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. 1/totalcost) the whole unfiltered query upon import crashes in Excel.

This is a mock example of the dataset, the actual query has 50K+ records:

Project Service Date Record Cost Total Cost Ratio
A Welding 1/1/2012 $100 $120 83%
A Plumbing 2/1/2012 $20 $120 17%
B Welding 1/1/2012 $50 $75 67%
B Plumbing 2/1/2012 $25 $75 33%
C Welding 1/1/2012 $40 $61 66%
C Plumbing 2/1/2012 $21 $61 34%

Import Multiple .csv Files To Access

Mar 3, 2006

Hi I have a few .csv files that i would like to upload into an access db. I saw an example for DTS, but since i dont have sql server i can't go that route.

Since i have some .csv Files where the file name changes on a daily basis, is it possible to upload them all with some wild card function. there is already a table with the fields already predetermined, and all i basically have to do is just load them all up at once.

please let me know if you have a solution.

Import Files Into Access Automation?

Apr 1, 2015

I have a form on access which allows users to upload csv files.

The files can be in any layout, so the field names and the number fields will always be different each time.

This can cause issues on data types, as access assumes a certain data type for a field, but the data may not always reflect that.

For example telephone numbers, access assumes this is a numeric field, however sometimes there will be symbols in this field such as +44. Which then causes import errors.

Is there any way to import these files without getting these sort of errors?

Currently the import process uses a simple TransferText method

DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "Original Data", Me.filelist.RowSource, True

This imports the data into a new table called 'Original Data'.

I had the idea of saving the table structure of the csv being imported (Importing the data with errors, then deleting all the records to just leave the structure) However I can't find a code to change the data types of that table to TEXT format, when I can't tell what the field names will be.

This whole thing is an automated process, which why there are loads barriers btw.

Import MS Excel Files Into One Table In MS Access

Modules & VBA :: How To Import Data From Text Files Into Access

Nov 6, 2014

I have a text file that details every single incident that happened in the system. This means that it is extremely messy and non-comprehensible to a normal person due to the use of codewords and all.

Is it possible to scan through the document and insert the data into access, such that the different keywords are put as seperate events?

Ps, the number of characters between each event and data may not always be the same, so seperating them by that is not the way to do it. However, when I open the file in notepad++, I can confirm that each event is 6 lines.

E.g. Line 1 = Event timestamp, Line 2 = Event Name, Line 3 = Acknowledged or not, Line 4 = Acknowledged by who, Line 5 = Event Details, Line 6 = Application Owner.

Basically, the 6 lines are the 6 columns that I would need in my table. So, is it possible to separate out and read every 6 lines of data in the text file?

Modules & VBA :: Convert To Excel Files And Import Into Access Database

Aug 7, 2015

I have files that have extension of TSV which are text files but viewable in exel. I figured out a way for the user to click on a button in Access which does the following

1. Run Macro in Excel: The macro prompts the user to select the TSV file. After selection, macro opens the employee.tsv file in the excel (with excel being invisible) and saves it as employee.xls

Code:
Sub SaveTSVtoXLS()
Dim myPath As String
Dim myString As Variant
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)

[Code] .....

2. Imports the Excel file (employee.xls) into two tables: tblEmployee and tblDepartment using the following codes.

Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryDepartment", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:C2"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryEmployee", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:AE2"

Everything is working flawless except that the user has to select the file three times:

1 time for the tsv
2 times for the xls file

Is there a way that the user can select the file only once (tsv file) or at least only twice one of the tsv file and the other for the xls file?

Modules & VBA :: Import Csv Files And Rename Them After Import Into (imported) And (failed)

Jul 17, 2015

I have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).

The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command

Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "Activitate", filename, True

gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.

Here's the code:

Sub ImportActivitate()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename's
Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files
Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False

[code]....

Also, how can I make the routine stop cycling through the files after I renamed them all?

Access Keeps Crashing - Help!

May 1, 2005

I don't know if this is caused by Access (2003) itself, or somethign else, such as the JET drivers. Whenever I load up anything in Access it crashes saying I can repair it and restart access... no matter what I load.

Also, it seems other programs that connect to a database only retrieve 'nothing' from the tables and queries. I'm quite confused, any help would be wonderful right now.

Running on Windows XP SP2 with Access2003

My MS 2000 Access application is crashing and returns a msg something like this: "Your Access application caused an error and Access must be closed"
This occurs only when I execute some forms; always the same forms cause the problem.
Somebody told me to copy the .mdb to another place in my HD and change the names of the forms.
I did it and it always works well!
Any good reason for that?
My app is not yet splited in FE and BE. Splitting would help?

Thanks a lot

Novell Server Crashing Because Of Access 97

Apr 27, 2007

Hi. I have been fixing up some access 97 programs on the computer systems at my work. The main changes I made was creating a search function using a query behind a form to search the database (no more than only 90,000 records). I am running a novell server. The data tables are in a database on the server. The access program on the desktops have their own access database program that use linked tables to the data tables on the server. The following is my issue:

Apparently, some of the changes I made to the searches caused the server buffer to become full and not flush itself. Anytime I was working on creating the fixes, it seemed to make the server crash. I 'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem with access 97 running on a novell server and causing any buffer issues. Any ideas on how to prevent the server from crashing?

Access 2000 Crashing When Using Frontend - Help.

Jun 28, 2007

Hi all, 1st post. I'm and Access n00b I'm afraid, so take it easy. I normally use php/mysql, but have been roped in to fixing a broken access database.

I've got an Access database, and a fileserver is holding the data (mdb file), but I've got around 10 machines which access the database thru a frontend (mdb file).

Now, this has been working fine until today, where I am trying to view one table (Orders), and access bombs out. It shuts down instantly with no warnings. It does this on every machine, so I think it is a database problem. I can view the data if I open the standalone data file, but I cannot view the data thru the frontend.

I need to fix this asap... what's causing the crash? I didn't make the front end, but if I could look at the code, I may be able to see where it's failing.

How To Import Dbf Files Automaticly?

Apr 9, 2008

Hello all
this is my first post. I've tried to get my info without any luck so i ask my question here.... hope it's ok.

I want to import some dbase files that comes from an accounting software and ask Access some queries. The queries part is perfect. My only problem is how can i ask (in a general menu of my Access application) access to go and get those dBase files?
I want the user to be able to have a button asking him : " Do you want to import new data?. And then it will update Access. I don't need to append the data just overwrite the old data. I'm not doing any manipulation of data on the files, just asking questions. (Hope i make sense...)

They are always on the same directory on the server.

Thank you for the help!

How To Import Csv Files With Newlines

Feb 16, 2006

Dear experts,

I need to import a csv file into a Access table. Some of the fields contain newlines, these field should go into a memo field (they're > 256 chars) which are to be displayed in a report later.

Unfortunately, Access (and also Excel) treat newline chars (vbCrLf) as field separators, resulting in a lot of garbage... I'm interested in one of three tricks:
1) find a way to import the csv file with newlines
- or -
2) replace the newlines by unused chars before import, e.g. by '#!' and replace them after the import in the table
- or -
3) replace the newlines, and re-insert them back in by an expression in a query or a report

I have succeeded to import the file with the newlines replaced. I did not succeed to re-insert newlines (at least not with "Replace"), and I couldn't find a way reconstruct the newlines with an expression or in a report.

Has anyone an idea or better trick to do the job ?

Thankss....

Import Multiple Excell Files

Jan 16, 2008

Super new to the forums and hoping I can find an answer here.
After looking for an hour or so on Microsoft's site, I gave up and decided to venture into new resources.

My ultimate goal is to create a form that will prompt a user to select a Microsoft Excel file and then run a macro. The macro should import the Excel file into a single table based off of what form is being run. The idea is to have a single form for each employee of a specific department and have the form import information that is stored on our phone server into access. I've set up most of the macro but the argument section of the filename is what's hanging me up.

So finally my question;
Is there a way to have a macro run to specify what file you want to import when using an additional macro? Am I going about this the completely wrong way and should stick to VB Code?

I look forward to your responses, thank you in advanced!
