I have a table that contains a primary key and I am trying to append records from a text file. When I go to append the records, it tell me that XXX amount of records were lost due to key violations. Shouldn't access be able to figure out how to create new ID's on newly appended data?
Access 2007.
Here is the import statement I'm using:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "IT315 Import Specification_txt", _
"IT315", "D:4533 Hires Rehire Status ChangeIT315.txt"
I can manually transfer the data ie thru File --> Get External Data etc but I can't seem to get the above statement to work --- with the same specification!!
The details are in the attached doc file.
I'm trying to find all the table names inside an external access file from a path.
I have a code for the user to select a file which return a patch to the file.
Then I need to find all the tables names from that file and append them to a list.
so I them can input them into a code and link the tables.
here is the code to get the file patch:
Code:
Function getFileName(path) As String
Dim f As Object
Dim varFile As Variant
Dim path
Set f = Application.FileDialog(3)
[Code] ......
I have some vba where I'm importing a text file and splitting it out into a table. For the most part its working just fine.
But I have a line of data that I need to pull out the string right after "Old" - Murphy and right after "New" ZMurphy
Acc# : 111111 This is test data, Person : 22222 Old Murphy New ZMurphy
I'm thinking Instr() could do this but I'm unable to get it to work.
I am using Access 2010...
Hi there,
In an access db, I want to add a field called 'FileName' and simply add a link to a file. In tabular view, would I simply put 'filesmynotes.txt' into the database? Also, when I asp this to a web page, should it (or can it) show as a hyperlink?
Thanks,
Greg
Is it possible to link external file again when database is ready and the source file has been moved to other location?
And going farther -> is it possible to create some kind of dialog wich prompts user to point the external file as linked?
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
Been trying this one all day. I've tried playing with a few things from the forum and i'm nearly there. I just need a wee bit of expert help.
I have a form that displays a persons details and on it i have a command button, and all i want to do is to print a pdf file (or maybe jpg files) that are in a certain folder on a network.
To do this i must reference the employees name folder and then there name file.
This is what i have got so far:
Dim I As String
Dim S As String
Me.First_Name.SetFocus
I = Me.First_Name.Text
Me.Surname.SetFocus
S = Me.Surname.Text
Application.FollowHyperlink "F:Personnel Certs([I] & ""& [S])([I] & "" & [S]).pdf"
SendKeys "%(FP)"
SendKeys "~", True
************************************************** *
All is good until the Application line where i am trying to join the two text strings from the First_Name and Surname Textboxes.
The values for I and S are working.
The path to the folder is: G:Personnel Certs"persons name""persons name".pdf
The other method i could and may use is the command dialog which will give the user the choice of file to print but if i use this i want it to access the persons name folder anyway.
Many thanks in advance
Basically it's trying to take all the files in a given directory and add them into a existing database.
I have a database called Permit. the database has a field called "SEAL" and they will be creating an additional field "SCART" to hold the contents of the file that exist in the directory. Each image file, in directory, is named the same as a unique record in Permit.
example:
Permit-SC might have unique record 532442
An image file would be name 532442.
If the image file matches a record in Permit the image should be added to permit in a field called "SCART". At this point I'm not certain if I want a link or the actual image included in the record. since there's a possibility of including the permit file on the website it might be cleaner to have it included.

Without importing into Access, how can I append 1 text file to a second text file?
I am using XP.

1 d
I want the following returned from a select statement:
Contact ID CostType Cost
1 a,b,c,d
Can anyone suggest on how I could do this?
Thanks for your help

I have some code which creates a record in an external csv file to provide information to upload a vehicle to the website. It works fine with the exception of creating duplicates when, for example an option to amend a record is given to the user before continuing to a new record. The option has to be in place in case there is an error in the specifics of what is important to be recorded in the database and under such circumstances the form code allows the user to tab through the form and correct any errors, but this creates duplicate entries in the csv file as the user has to pass through the 'SavePrintVehPurch_Exit' button a second time after corrections are made.
I am wondering if there is a way of altering the following code to effectively look look to see if the csv record exists and if so correct any changed field information rather than create a whole new record or create a new record where the record does not exist - The record in the csv file is determined by the 'Me.VP_VehRegMark.Value '.
Private Sub SavePrintVehPurch_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Dim fileText As String
Dim fileName As String
Dim fileNumber As String
fileNumber = FreeFile
[Code] ....
I am wondering about introducing the something like the following ( but can't work out how to clarify comparison of the fields)
If Len(filename(fileText)) = ? Then
Do not change entry
Else
Overwrite the new detail

How to read data in file (attached) and import data by reading certain amount of characters in a line like A02 and read 30 to 40 characters which has the Name of a passenger and may 20th to 25 has the name of an Airline. Import these data into a table with pre-assigned columns.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to link a table to a massive 3GB text file so that I can generate a report. The text file is an exported Access query, so I can analyze the data in query form, BUT I'd like to analyze as a text file to confirm that nothing is altered during the export process. (e.g. Sometimes rounding errors can alter data, etc.)
Unfortunately, I'm getting an error saying that the text file is too big.
I would like to append a text item to each value in a calculated field. consider the field name is "Division" and I want to append the word "Division" to the values put out by the field "Division"
My attempt was: Division & " " & "Division". This produced an error in the report.
Hi, I'm trying to import a text file (just for a test at the moment) with the fields seperated by |'s.
The table I'm trying to import to has the fields -
ID, First Name, Last Name, Gender.
The ID is an autonumber though so what can I put there in the text file because I'm getting an error? :confused:
Hi,
I am trying to email a table in text format using :
DoCmd.SendObject acSendTable, "Table", acFormatTXT, , , , "Results", "Attached are the reslts"
It sends the file in text file format, but it adds "-" & "|" characters all over the file. Is there a way that I can send the file in simple "Comma Separated" file format.
Thx,

Hello - I want to import a text file into a table in a database. The text file looks like this:
00001 06006025 1420 0010 Health Insurance 7
00001 06006025 1425 0010 Life Insurance 7
00001 06006025 1430 0010 Disability 7
00001 06006025 1440 0010 Profit Sharing 7
There is no consistent delimiter. The text field is making things complicated because there is no accurate way to separate the text field from the last number in each line ('7') which needs to be stored in a different column.
Is there a way to insert quotations arond the text string so the quotation mark can be used to distinguish it when importing into excel or a database table. This may work because the starting position of the text string is constant. The ending position would have to be defined as the place where the number appears ('7' in this case). Then, quotations need to be placed around the text string.
Is this possible? Any advice will help tons!!!
I'm trying to figure out how to link a text file to my database with VBA. I know how to do this for other types of data sources, using the DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink command, but need guidance using this with TXT files.

Hi,
I have a text file with comma separated values. What I want is a single access query to import this text file into an access table. I know this can be done through import text wizard in access - but what I need is a single query.
I have done the same thing for transferring oracle data to an access table - but for text file to access, I am getting -7778 error.
This is the query I have written
SELECT * into MY_ACCESS_TBL from [odbc;Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};Dbq=MY_TEXT_FILE_PATH;].[MY_TEXT_FILE.txt];
Please help!!

I have a small problem with the following command:
Code:
sTabNam = "TmpTab"
sFilNam = "C:Data.Txt"
DoCmd.TransferText TransferType:=acLinkDelim, TableName:=sTmpTab, FileName:=sFilNam, HasFieldNames:=True
The file C:Data.Txt contains 5 columns, separated by a semicolon with the first line containing the names of the columns. The concern is that when the linked table is created, I get a single column with all fields concatenated value. the following style :
Col1;Col2;Col3; : Column name
Val1;Val2;Val3; : Row value
What does do to have columns separated with the corresponding values?
