I have 250 separate worksheets with a lot of data to put into Access. Problem is the data is 120,000 rows in each worksheet and a lot of duplicate date eg..DATE, NAME, TIME,are some of the column headings and there are multiple rows with same DATE or NAME. That is just how I received the data. I would like to transfer all records into Access as quickly and efficiently as possible.
View RepliesBest way to display "notes: field that gets updated/added to multiple times, in a form. (Access 2007)
I've got a DB to track information about product changes. Each month we have a meeting and discuss problem products. I'm concerned with a notes/comments section. Currently it is a memo field in the source table that can be added to, so the notes are cumulative. But we want to auto-add a date to each new entry (in case the person inputting the data forgets, and so that notes can be sorted by order on a report).
There may be many comments on a certain product or there may be none. Sometimes the note may be very long, other notes on the same product may be very short. I created a new table with a one-to-many relationship to case ID (to link it to the main form), auto-populate a date field, and field for notes in order to link multiple notes to each case (and of course an autonumber PK).
I can put the subform in the original form, but then the note field will be the same size for every note, though notes are not all uniform in size/length, and it ends up taking up a LOT of room on the main form. So I created a button to click to open the subform, but it brings up all records for all cases, not just the currently selected case. Again, have the problem of one uniform field size for all notes, regardless of size/length.
Then I considered a report to view past history (field size can shrink or grow as needed) then a button on the report that opens a form for data entry/entry of new note. But again the report displays all records for all cases, not just the currently selected case.
My DVD library database I have a memo field which has the description of the movies.
In some cases, like my tv show records, I have a lot of data because of the episodes and episode descriptions.
I'm currently displaying this data using a split form with the datasheet on the left
I must use a small font in the memo field in order to display all data.
I could use a larger font and simply scroll but I'm looking for an alternative.
I've even thought of creating a hyperlink filed and point to the movie on IMDB's web site. But when I click the link nothing happens even though I copied and pasted the link into the field.
I have One table(and designed form from it) in which i have recording the daily transactions(it is like a daily book). Daily transactions took place like Purchase of items of Amount 45, sale=70, sold on account=100 etc.
What problem i am facing is: I would like to Add Cash In Hand amount and would like to show it on my form. When day end I would like to move remaining cash In Hand on separate column of that date. The next day i would like to take the previous Remaining Cash in Hand as Cash In Hand at Start for next date and so on.
Ok, so here's the deal.
I have over 5,000 customers in a simple database. For each customer, I'm only displaying the account number, name & class of trade. Each customer represents a record and there is also a sub-form below displaying each customers product template - so each customer has different items displayed and this changes as I switch from record to record or customer to customer. (sorry if this is too much info)
I want to take a class of trade (Bakery for example) and I want to say, a Bakery should purchase these items (I'll have a list of items for the class of trade Bakery.) I want to then take that list and compare it to what is already in all Bakery customer product templates. Lastly, I want to display all of the missing items. The items I think they should buy - but only the items that are not already in the customer's product template.
Obviously, using the final report generated, our Sales Staff would be more effective while hitting the beat (so to say.)
I have a little experience with Access and VBA - but I can't get my head around this one. Any help would be much appreciated...:cool:
I'm trying to import an Excel file into access as a table so I can use the data in other tables I am building. When I try to import to file, I get an error message telling me that there are over 255 columns and not all my data will be imported. The file is a report I pull from another system at work and it is very large, is there a way to get past the 255 column limit?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a data file I am importing into MS Access 2010. One of the fields is a large text field. When i import that field into Access the text is getting cut off. How do I get the full text field to import without cutting off?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created a rather large data entry form for one of our departments which will be used to run a mail merge document. The merge is run off of a query of the form, rather than the tables themselves...I think that is what I've read is the right thing to do?
Anyways, most of it is working great so far but I've run into an issue where a few of the form fields are combo boxes. In access and in the query the data looks correct, but when you look at it in word (in edit recipient list) and after the merge, it will have a file path name instead.
So a combo box that has "Medical Plans and Visual Plans" in that field in the query, comes over saying "c:Users
ameAppData
Ex: New Hires are provided information about Medical Plans and Visual Plans.
Ex: New Hires are provided information about MeC:UsersbrooksAppData
It always shows the first two letters before putting the filepath name in there.
I have tried doing it multiple ways...a lookup to another table, lookup right in the field itself....get the same results.
how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acLink, , "region", "F:DB PracticeBook1.xlsx", False, "region"
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.
I've got a table with a lot of data.
In the table is a SAP Number (ID), a booking date (BuchDatum) and an amount (Betrag)
Now i want to sum up, for each ID the amount in one months.
In the end i want to have a table like this
Date SAP Number Amount
01/2011 12345 1000€
02/2011 12345 0€
03/2011 12345 100€
04/2011 12345 300€
and so on.
So for each ID, a table like this.
I tried it already, but my Problem is that i either sum up the years or the months. I Need a combination.
I put the file in the Appendix.
I am exporting data from the database to an excel sheet. Then I want to apply conditional formatting to the data so values between a certain range should be a certain colour.
But nothing happens when applying the conditional format, or when just trying to fill a cell in excel. Only when repeatedly clicking fill cell in excel does the colour change. Also all the cells are in the number format.
I have built a login form that works fine currently with the exception of login attempts. The current features are
1) Checks login is in users table.
2) Ensures the user status is not blocked in the table.
3) Sends the user to the correct page based on their authorisation in the user table.
What i need to do now is
1) Allow the user to enter the incorrect password 3 times and on the 4th time it will say "Too many login attempts. Your user access has been blocked."
2) Update their status as blocked in the users table.
My Current code is below.
Private Sub LoginButton_Click()
Dim Useraccess As String
Dim Userstatus As String
If IsNull(Me.LoginUsernameText) Then
MsgBox "Please Enter Username", vbInformation, "Username Required"
Me.LoginUsernameText.SetFocus

Ive been converting .xls files to Access database files. I would like to use ACCESS to develop the Reports but the client wants the Reports to look like those in EXCEL..eg. where you have lines between rows and columns. If I could give my Access Reports the same look and feel, I could wean these guys off of Excel and into the wonderful world of relational models.
Does anyone have sqlcode or tricks I might use to create the Excel 'look alike' report in Access?
thks in advance...and I will sum.

I am trying to make a report in which I can see the amount of money that I have to pay weekly to an employee. To explain myself clearer, I have different rates for each employee. For example:
NameNormalPayRateVacationPayRateSickPayRateOvertimePayRateStandbyPayRate
John Smith$15$10$15$30$8
Ken Jonson$10$8$10$20$8
I am doing this in a query. So what I want to be able to do is, for example, take 4 hours that the employee worked at NormalPayRate and multiply it. But if tomorrow the employee worked at a different rate, for example 3 hours overtime, I want those 3 hours multiplied by OvertimePayRate.
The way I saw it on my Google researches, is that they have only one rate and the amount will be [SumOfHours]*[Rate]. But how can I tell my query to skip, for example, one rate because the employee didn't work at that rate that day. So I can have different amount for the different rates.
By the way, entering the information I can divide at what rate the employee worked x day. So if the employee work 6 hours at regular, and later on 4 hours at standby, I have those information separated in my table.
Results that I am getting: I can easily get the amount in money multiplying the whole hours by a rate, so my result in my report will be multiplied by the same rate.
I am using Access 2013 ...
Hi guys,
I have a query that returns a large data set (~100k rows/month).
I am currently inefficiently exporting week-by-week to Excel to carry out some manipulation (mainly a set of "if" statements to calculate differences between records that have the same site id).
Is there a way to write a function in Access to carry out the calculations? I'm not too familiar with Access VBA apart from coding functions for forms etc.
Hi
Please answer ASAP, this would be urgent!
I have two tables that need to be updated in tandem from a single access-page, by entering previously non-existent data.
One contains a contractor ID, and the name of the contractor; The other contains details of contracts, with the name of the Contractor selected from a drop-down box that draws its contents from the other table.
I have a data access page with an always visible drop-down box that shows contractors, and if I select one, it displays all contracts entered. This unfortunately means I cannot easily add new contractors, since they have no pre-existing contracts to display the details, and allow entering, and I cannot make the details fields permanently available.
Right now, I can add new contracts to those contractors who have at least one in the system already, but I'm unable to add new contractors. My aim is to have a single page add the contract data, and new contractors. Having a hyperlink open a new page that allows the adding of new contractors is also acceptable, but no coding, please, cause I suck at that...:(
Thanks in advance for your help!
I have a database that works as a sales system. From a table in the database I run a query that calculates the totals for that day.
i.e.
Date……….Dept 1…..Dep2
07/11/05…...£10………£10
What I need is:
1.You click a button
2.It copies the date and finds it in the excel spreadsheet as the sheet will already have a field called date.
3.It will then copy the Dept 1 figure and Dept 2 figure into the spreadsheet where the date matches (in a certain column)
Can this be done?
Kindest Regards

Hi I was wondering if there is a way to import the data stored as a excel file to ms access table. For ex:
I have a spreadsheet that has three columns:
Country city population
Each country would have multiple cities.
My Access table "cities: has a similar structure like this. Is there a procedure I can write to copy the data into the Access table from the spreadsheet without having to do it manually?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance
I need to create a program that will regularly import a text file of over one million records into an Access table. I've been give a list of about fifty different updates to perform on the data to clean it.
I can't imagine performing all these updates in one query. However, creating fifty individual queries seems horribly inefficient from a processing perspective.
I'm accustomed to stepping sequentially through a table in FoxPro, which seems ideal to me for this type of situation. What is the best way to handle this in Access?
Hey all
I have a table that contains a list of news items. For each item there is a link to an appropriate image and a load of text.
I display a list menu of news items showing the picture and the first few lines of text. At the moment for the first few lines of text I have a separate field and just copy and paste the first few lines of the main article into it.
My question is is there a way where instead of having to have a separate field with just the first few lines in I can somehow just retrieve the first few lines of data from the full article field when displaying the menu listing?
Hope this makes sense, and any ideas greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
I ran into errors recently when I tried running a large UNION query (about 6,900 news articles) in a desktop Access database, that will eventually be migrated to SQL Server. I've got two tables, each having the same typed fields. I joined then through the following query:
SELECT ID,Name,Body FROM Table1 UNION SELECT ID,Name,Body FROM Table2;
The problem was that in the resultant table containing the conjoined records, one of the fields (Body, a MEMO field) copies only the first 250 characters or so, truncating the rest of the data.
I was thinking this might have something to do with telling Access how to type the data when copying it over. Is there a way to explicitly tell a query the data type of each field to be used so that the data can be copied over properly?
Thanks!
The following code gives me runtime error message "couldn't set the list property , Type mismatch".
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim j As Long
j = 0

We are running many MS Access databases in a mixed estate - mostly Windows XP terminals. The databases are split with the front end on the desk top and the back ends on a server running Windows Server 2003. We have a chronic problem of crashes when users go back into memo fields to add data - all text. The problem is intermittent, not possible to reproduce and varies in frequency.
