Append New Line To Text File
Oct 25, 2005
I want to open a txt file through my access database and append a line to it. When I use the opentextfile method for appending but it always appends my new text line to the end of the last line. I want it to append the new text to a new line. I have tried object.skipline but this is not supported when appending?
This is what I get:
"oldline" "newline"
but I want:
"oldline"
"newline"
Here is my code
sub ConcatenateTxtFile ()
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fd.OpenTextFile(dpath, ForAppending)
'Need a line here to skip to next line
f.writeline ("newline")
End Sub

I am having a little difficulty with my importing in Access. Every time I import my text file, the lines will be jumbled. I have been reading up and I found this recordset code that seems to be what I need:
Code:
Dim strLine As String
Dim intLineNum As Integer
Dim MyDB As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Open "C:TestTest.txt" For Input As #1
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset("tblResults", dbOpenDynaset)
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE * FROM tblResults", dbFailOnError 'Clear tblResults
[code]....
Basically, this code will extract data from the text file as long as it fulfills the Mid$ criteria. Here's where my problem comes. Each line in my text file is of different lengths and I have to capture the entire line.
I think using the Left$ function would work, but I don't know how to determine the character count such that the entire line of text would be inserted into the table.
Another difference between what I need and the code above is that, I am required to store each line into each row of my table, meaning
Line 1 is placed in Row 1 Column 1
Line 2 is placed in Row 2 Column 1
Line 3 is placed in Row 3 Column 1
.
.
.
Line X is placed in Row X Column 1.

I'm trying to figure out at what point an error message occurs while a database is closing. This problem only occurs if someone clicks on the red close button on the top right of the screen when there are several forms open. If the user exists normally there is NO problem.
I am attempting to use the print statement to write to a text file to track what is happening as the database shuts down. Unfortunately, the open (print) statement, when issued, zaps any prior contents which precludes having a full printed record. I am hoping for a print syntax that would allow appending.
Code:
Open "ErrorReport.txt" for Output as #1
Appended text to the file to show what is happening in that event.
Close #1
The program, in closing, does stop with an error message that a certain file can't be found. But when I click on debug, the program simply closes. I have also commented out VBA references to the file that can't be found, but the error still persists .

I have a function which takes a recordset and writes the contents to a text file. One of the fields in the recordset is a free format text field, the contents of which originate from a text box on a form. Occasionally, a user can hit the 'Enter' key to add a new line (carriage return) to the note within the text box.
The problem is, when the output text file is subsequently imported to Excel, the carriage returns within that text field serve to move the next piece of data to the next row (even though the CR is within the double-quote text-qualifier in the text file)I want line breaks within the text field to be retained within the cell.
One option would very simply be to replace the carriage returns with simple spaces in the write function. I could do that quite easily. However, I would prefer to retain whatever the user has entered into the text box, including line breaks, if at all possible?So if the user broke his free format 'note' into multiple lines (for whatever reason), it would similarly appear as multiple lines in the same cell (and in the same row / record) in the Excel worksheet.
I could replace the carriage return with some obscure character during the write, then switch it back during the Excel import, but that seems a little clunky (plus Murphy's Law dictates that no matter how obscure a character I choose, somebody, at some point, will genuinely use it, and it will get switched out. Which means I'd have to use a non-printing character?could I simply replace the carriage return with a line feed? (Or is it the other way around? I always get carriage returns and line feeds mixed up!)there's a simple way around this but I always get confused as to precisely which ASCII character the 'Enter' key produces when keying into a text box.

I have a module which reads a CSV transaction file line by line and adds the correct transactions to an access table and places the wrong ones in a logfile.Now some transactions are rejected twice there is even one rejected six times. Whereas one wrong transaction is processed only once. I am certainly overlooking something obvious in the logic but what. Here is the relevant code.
Code:
Function ImportCSVForConfederation(inputCSV, ORG)
Dim TNO As Integer, TACT As Integer, TABLE As String, TLINE As String, I As Integer, J As Integer, K As Integer
Dim FLD1 As String, FLD2 As String, FLD3 As String, FLD4 As String, LogFile As String, LogPath As String
Dim Lim As String, ITNO As Integer
[code]....

One of our vendors needs data from a table with a header (as HD) and a footer (as FT). The header is easy but short of converting the query to a report, how do I send CSV file with a footer as the last line.

According to the books and examples I should get multiple lines of text in my text box with...
messageBody = "Line one stuff" & Chr(10) & "next line stuff"
Forms!NotifyEmails!Text2 = messageBody
...but instead I get funny symbols where the line feed should be. But it works sending it to email.
Anyone shed any light on this behaviour?

Can anyone help....
I have a field on an Access db, this is a "Memo " type field which has many lines of text within it.
I need to run a query on this to get the last line of text within this field.
Aside from records where this memo field is filled in I also have records where the memo field is blank. So basically if the memo field is blank I want a blank field returned as well as fields with data.
I am using Access 2003 but also am running this on Access 2000 (not sure if there has been a change to function names)
This is seriously bugging me - can anyone put me out of my misery?

I have a database that prints out a contract of line items (as a report) for the home remodeling business.
I use a query to limit the line items which show the description and cost as a subreport.
The only way I could create a total of these line items was to enter an unbound text control, and put in the formula =sum([cost]) where cost being the field name. It works fine, but I need to but the result in a currency format - - two decimals and a $ sign. I sure would like it to do it at the query level, instead of at the report level (will make it more user friendly)
Any suggestions?

Hi All,
I'm a noobie with Access, and on my form which displays Account information, I also want to display the multiple Addresses this account can have. I can't find any type of scrollable text box (something to look like a spreadsheet), and I know it's not a list box I need to use.
How do I create this and what is it called? I tried using a data grid but I dont think that is it either :confused:
Also, my scrolling text icon on the toolbox is greyed out, not sure why.
Please help!
Thanks,
Mike

I am creating a database and need to produce a report that will form an itemised quotation.There can be up to 8 items on the quotation along with their associated costs to the customer. I am trying to make the "item" field dynamically expand if necessary when longer text is entered into it and then expand the corresponding "Totals" fields to match the new size.I have tried using the "Can Grow" property however for some reason the formatting does not cascade down to the fields below and the "Totals" fields remain the same size.
To try and explain better I have included a screen shot of the relevant part of the report and how it looks when printed. I should point out that the "QuotesQuote" box at the top of the screen is set to "Can Grow" and when that expands the boxes below automatically move to accommodate this.

hello,
I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).
I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?

Is the record is already existing in access, but a few fields are blank, is there any way to import an excel file that just updates those blank fields for the specific record?
For example,
I have an excel file that includes files that are ready to ship out. My access database already has those file names, but does not have the shipping box number. Is there any way to import the excel file into my database, have it find those specific file names and update the shipping box number field? The excel file won't be adding any new records, just appending existing records.
