I regularly export the main table in our database to an excel spreadsheet, to provide an additional level of data back-up. (Using File/Export)
I was wondering if there is a way of automating this process, either through a command button on a form, or by linking it with shutting the database down.
Hi all, I'm using access 2002. 2002 has pivoting, but in order to use it you have to download an xp add on(at least I did). After I installed the libraries pivots worked for me- and I added all manner of niftyness-before I discovered that no one else in my department could use it without adding the same downloads. So I decided to go with exporting to excel. That opened up a whole new can of worms, but in the end I finally got it working. I just wanted to share what I found with everyone here-maybe the next person won't have to work so hard. This code works from a toolbar button. Of course if anyone has any suggestions, I'm interested.

Hi: I want to automate the XML export function of Access and not sure if it is possible or how to do it. In going through the menu bar (File ->Export) interface, I must choose the root table, and then subsequent tabbed windows allow one to select what tables to be exported, if I want the schema to be generated, the target filename, etc. Instead of having to go through this large selection process, I'd like to write a script that I can run consistently over the same tables, produce the same file name, etc. Can anybody provide a suggestion/code/pointer on how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance. John
Would it be possible for me to build an interface for a customer to use for importing data. So that they customer could choose from a drop down list, or input into a text box where they want to export from, and where they would like the export to be imported?
I've created an outlook task to export a common query I do every day, is there a way to automate it so it will happen automatically without me pressing Run?
I use office 2007 on a company laptop with tight network restrictions (so no Windows Task Scheduler)..
I have a database, i need to automate mail merge function from access DB to insert selected records into the merge fields, i have tried everything i could and i have searched through out the web nothing really works for me.
I have encountered PC Lockdown when I tried this onClick Code. I am trying to post a data from MSAccess field into a specific cell in Excel. The Excel File is formatted already as document. It is submitted for Attendance records. But I couldn't find the problem and fix to automate it properly.
Code: Private Sub cmdRequery_Click() On Error GoTo Err_AttSum Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?
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;
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 have a table of applications (200 applications), with the following columns for each application:
AppName Description BusCrit BU NumUsers
I need to export this to an excel spreadsheet into specific rows and columns and then save the spreadsheet, with it named for the application (ie, App1.xls) which it should get from the AppName column in the table. How would I do this?
I have a code module in my interface with 3 functions that run via separate forms with user inputs. Each function is similar in design, exporting data from a generated query to excel for input into external software.
The database is split into an interface FE (Access 2007) with linked tables BE (Access 2000). I have successfully tested each of the 3 functions in my code module with a set of tables containing fake test data. However, I have discovered that if I link to a different copy of the .mdb tables, 2 of the export functions no longer work and the third one still works fine.
What is causing the problem but the part that is not working correctly is the loop.
Here is my code module:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Public Function CreateQCStaticChartsforReports() As Boolean 'Define variables for Static Chart creation Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim strSQLStatic As String
I'm having a small but annoying problem exporting data to excel and then importing it back..
The problem is that when i export a table to Excel - it changes the date format from dd/mm/yy (which is what i have in Access) to DD-MMM-YY (automatically in Excel)
This proves to be a problem because when i import the spreadsheet back Access gives me a data type conversion error.
Its easily solved manually by changing the field in excel to dd/mm/yy format but annoying as the user will have to do this everytime they export and import!
I've been asked to export an MS Access report to Excel. I'm having trouble with including subtotals, totals, etc. in the Excel sheet. I've enclosed a picture of how my report looks in Access, and was wondering if there's a way to export everything the report has into Excel......
Can anyone maybe point me in a good direction, or to a link that has info re: what I want to do?
And before anyone asks, it's for a manager who insists that everything be done in Excel, since that is what he's comfy with. Outside of that, I wouldn't be giving myself headaches, since my Access report contains everything needed.
I am trying to export the result of a query to a specific Excel sheet where I have a dynamic graph. The results are exported on a monthly basis, so I am just adding the data, and the graph reflects that. Now, I can export to excel easily enough by using the Transfer Spreadsheet method, but this creates a new worksheet, thus destroying my lovely graph. I have even tried the Output Query method, but to no avail. Is there any way I can export to excel and keep the graph intact?
Hi guys, me again. Have a few functions that I would like to put into action. 1) I currently have the following code that exports multiple queries to excel. All works great I am happy to say. Currently the date criteria are hard coded into the queries. Well now my users would like to enter date ranges instead. Currently when I click on my toggle button, the users are asked if they are sure they want to start export to excel. I still want that to happen, but how can I change my code to prompt for startdate and enddate before running the export. I would rather use an input boxes to enter the date range instead of using a form. Would this be possible?
2) Right now excel is displayed on the screen while the export is in process, how can I hide excel and then have it appear after its done with export. If the user clicks within excel during export, it sometimes freezes. And how can I apply my module for the progress bar to display the progress of the export. I have provided the code of the progress bar that I am using, that I found on this forum.
Many thanks for any suggestions.

What can be the reason ? i'm doing it through a regular "Import Spreadsheet Wizard", and get a message "an error occured trying to import file" File is not open. Made a copy under a different name; still can't import..

I tried searching the forums and haven't come up with anything that sounds like what i'm looking for. I have a VERY simple database that has a list of personnel and whether or not they are available for an event. I would like to have a command button on the form where I change the availability that will export the selected personnel to an Excel file and (if possible) save it with todays date as the name of the spreadsheet. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it :)
I have a query in access 2002 named "FMC DETAIL / MEMBER" when i export to excel 2002 with named "FMC DETAIL_member" the export says "Path is invalid"
My main point is that "/" should be replace with "_" in file name automatically. In access 97 query named "FMC DETAIL / MEMBER" when export to excel the "/" is renamed to "_" automatically.
Hi! I know queries can be exported to excel by the option "File > Export".
The fact is that I'm using "order by" options and some functions like "Month", and "Export" options appears disabled, is there a way to export this query to Excel? :confused:
I have a button on a form and when I press it I would like this to happen: Some code will be run that makes a copy of an templatefile (Excel), puts the values that comes from my query into the document and the saves it with a name that comes from two textboxes. I would also like to be able to put in some other text in the document, like two dates that I have on my form. Does anyone know how to do this ???
I would like to export a access report to excel. All rows and columns exported correctly except from text fields (missing or change to a strange number). I've also think about to write a vb script to export the result recordset of the report to the excel. But the report is a report of Sales which containing a grand total amount of the group of records. Is there a way to write a script to achieve this (the grand total amount is not include in the recordset)?
