Can't See Specs When Trying To Import Text File Via Macro

Oct 23, 2014

I am trying to complete a macro that starts with importing of a text file. However, when I go to complete the steps in the macro, I do not see the specs for the import file that i created. There is a dropdown with a few specs for me to choose from in the box titled "Specification Name" when I am completing the action titled ImportExport Text. However, none of those specs are the right ones.

When I go to "Saved Imports" I can plainly see the import that I am interested in. So is a Saved Import different than a spec? If so, what steps do I need to do to create the spec?

Documenting Import/Exort Specs

Jul 11, 2007

Lately I've been doing a lot of importing and exporting of data to text files using stored specs. To see what fields and sizes a spec contatins I have been going to the File menu of Tables, click on Get External Data/Import. When the Open menu comes up, I click on any random text file. Then when the Import dialog starts I can get to the spec by clicking the Advanced button. I can then copy it to spreadsheet for documentation. Is there an easier or automated way to document Import/Export specs in ACCESS 2003?

Automatic Import Of Multiple CSV File In Access With Macro

Jan 11, 2012

I need to import 15 csv files into access every month. I have location of all those files listed in a table in the same access DB but i'm not sure how to incorporate them in a macro I have written to import one of those files:

Function Macro_TransferCsvFileTo_RatesTradeData()
On Error GoTo Macro_TransferCsvFileTo_RatesData_Err
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "Import_Spec_tbl_RatesData", "tbl_RatesData", "c:Documents and SettingsaggauraDesktopWIPXMLDB_JOH_FI_2011123 0.csv", True, ""

[Code] ....

where c:Documents and SettingsaggauraDesktopWIPXMLDB_JOH_FI_2011123 0.csv is the file name I want to be replaced by each of the file listed by me in the other access table.

Text File To MS Excel Multiple File Import Application

Jul 20, 2006

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?

Import From A Text File

Dec 17, 2004

Hi
I have a log file that records an action in following format.
50144021 12-17-2004 21:00:44 Mail Sent Subject: Test file TO: bert@xxxxxx.com

I want my database to look into this file and return the date/time of the last send in the log to match up with a record in one of my tables that has following fields: "email","last sent", "subject". ( The match will be done on the email address)

I can therefore look at each record and identify when each email address was last sent the file

Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Text File Import

Sep 5, 2007

Hi all. Another question that i hope ya'll can answer.


I'm trying to take a comma divided text file and import the raw data from there into one Access table to allow for various data manipulations with the end result being a very nice printable report. Unfortunately, I can only get the data in a plain text file, and not a CSV file.

What I'm looking for is a method to where I can import one or many of these text files into a database at one time via a fairly automatic process (pressing a button to load all the text files in a given directory would work), and have the data filtered according to the pre-defined variables in the text file itself (which could just be pre-entered into the database as a template). How would I go about doing this?

p.s. If anyone wants to see an Excel file of a manual data sort to see what i'm talking about, please e-mail me and I'll send it off.

p.p.s. Thanks for any help you can give me

raw text file data (there's more, but this will suffice as an example):

price,volRemaining,typeID,range,orderID,volEntered ,minVolume,bid,issued,duration,stationID,regionID, solarSystemID,jumps,
4500000.0,16.0,25619,32767,512583166,16,1,False,20 07-09-04,7,60006655,10000043,30003562,12,

Error Message When Trying To Use Custom Macro Built To Pull Text Data From A File

Jun 4, 2012

It is my understanding that a custom macro was built to pull text data from a file and import it into Access in the appropriate fields. This macro no longer works and will return the following error message:

"License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in design mode."

It only gives an option to click OK. When you do it shows a box called "Action Failed" that lists the macro name, condition, action name, and arguments with three button to click on the right of the box: "Step" "Halt" and "Continue". It appears that only the "Halt" button is available to be clicked.

Does this sound like an issue with the Access license or whatever license the macro might have? We're trying to decide if it's possible to restore the functionality of the macro.

Import Text File To A Table With Autonumber

Jul 19, 2005

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:

Import Text File Plus Adding A Field

Feb 8, 2007

Hi,

I'm importing the contents of lots of text files using a combination of a loop and DoCmd.TransferText.

This works fine and I can get the contents of several hundred files in a few seconds. The files are called 1.dbb, 2.dbb... and each has an associated image file, 1.bmp, 2.bmp... etc. After the import I move the files to a new folder.

I need to create a link to the bmp file but this information is not included in the text file so I need to rely on a field which contains the file name.

How can I populate a field at import time to include the name of the imported file?

Anyone give me a clue please.

Regards,

Bernard D

Import Text File Into Access97 Without Index

Sep 15, 2004

I am importing a text file into Access97 using fixed width with import specifications that specify NO to indexing. However, when I run the Macro, it automatically indexes the first field (which is a long integer).

Why? How do I import the text file without having the index automatically added?

Modules & VBA :: Import Complex Text File Into Access

Jul 19, 2014

They are receiving e-mail with some data that they want to transfer to access database to track. The one think they can do is copy past, copy paste. That is a lot of data to copy and paste. The date looks like this format

Field1
Text1

Field2
Text2 (text2 can be more than 255 char)

Field3
Text3 (text3 can be more than 255 char)

Field4
Text4

Field1
Text1

Field2
Text2 (text2 can be more than 255 char)

Field3
Text3 (text3 can be more than 255 char)

Field4
Text4

and so on.. It can be 50 records

I am thinking they can copy this to the text file. Then the code form Access grabs the text file and imports to access table with format below.

Field1 Fied2 Field3 Field4
Text1 Text2 Text3 Text4

Automate Data Type Conversion At Text File Import

Jul 7, 2005

hello once again,
I need to import a text file into an existing table in Access. The text file has been imported once and is working well and everything. However, since I had to change some of the datatypes to be able to query the table correctly, I now cannot import the text file anymore unless I change the datatype of the table itself. Since someone other than I will be doing the imports from here on out, changing the datatypes everytime is out of the question. I was looking at the TransferText event, but I didn't seem to see anything about converting data types. I can think of two options, and neither are probably possible:
1. import using the wizard. Since I didn't see anything related to the types of data, I don't think this will work...
2.import using TransferText. This doesn't seem to give me any opportunity to change the datatypes either. Is there anyway to programmatically change datatypes, or is there possibly an easier way that I'm overlooking??
thanks in advance,
*j

I'm trying to import a pipe delimited text file into a table. I can import the entire table using the following code, but I only get one column of data (the entire data set in one column). If possible I would like to import with the columns defined or if not possible use some code for a function similar to text to columns.

Tables :: Drop Header Records During Import Of Text File

Feb 11, 2015

simple table 6 columns
startdate
enddate
custacct
salescost
salesprice
salesqty

the txt file is set up so that there is a header record, 4,999 lines of data, then the same header record, then 4,999 lines of data, then a header record etc etc. for as many lines as is in the download. This is a download TXT file from a Microsoft Axapta ERP system.

I have my table all set up and during the import I want the header records to be dropped. I tried in the validation section for startdate {Not "startdate"} but that did not work. Is there some simple way to ensure the header records are dropped?

Modules & VBA :: Allow A User To Navigate To A Text File And Import It To A Database

Aug 19, 2013

We have a function that will allow a user to navigate to a text file and import it to a database. I've been asked to make it import ALL the text files from all sub-directories in the directory IF they've never been imported before (based on FileName and LastModifiedDate). I've set up a table to track what's getting imported (tbl_ImportHistory). I'm thinking what I need to do is use the previous coder's GetFileName function in a recursive loop removing the navigation request and adding the comparison and then, if it imports the file, the name and date need to be added to the tbl_ImportHistory table. But I'm completely unsure of how to do it.

I'm posting the GetFileName function below. I believe once I've got it modified the rest of the code can be left intact as it just parse's and loads whatever file is selected in the GetFileName function.

<code>
Function GetFileName() As String
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
fd.AllowMultiSelect = False
Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant

Tables :: Text File Import Function Will Not Recognize Dates In Certain Format

Oct 8, 2013

I upgraded to Access-2010 and the Text File Import function will not recognize dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The import dialogue sees enough to recognize the field as a date, but then every date encountered is written to the Import-Errors table. This is true whether the file has a .txt or .csv extension. The actual file format is .csv.

Modules & VBA :: Attempting To Import Tab Delimited Text File With 274 Columns Into 2 Access Tables

Aug 2, 2013

I'm trying to import a text file with 273 fields into two tables. I've been able to do this with the code I found on an old thread and I'm now trying to accomplish everything with one step.

Import Text File / Multiple Lines And Varying Delimiters / Size To One Record

Aug 22, 2012

Using MS 2007, I have a 200 text files exported each day from another application that has two different types of lines (see below). I would like to import each text file in to a database as a single record.

Text file example (text.txt):

R111 WC 8/21/2012 7:00 Doe, John doej 10110110

First Question? Y
Second Question? N
Third Question? Y
...
Seventeenth Question? 10

As you see, I have the first row with multiple fields, but the next rows I have a question and an answer.

I would like to have this data imported as shown in the attachment. Example.zip

Most answers I see are for either multiple lines (same data and sizing). I am not sure how to handle several different lines with that vary in size and delimiters.

Modules & VBA :: How To Import Text File Line By Line

Nov 18, 2014

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.

Macro To Import Table

Dec 9, 2005

I have a macro that imports a table from a network drive. I have hard coded in the path. However, each year file location changes. Is there a way in a Macro to adjust the code based on some other parameter?

Under the "TransferDatabase" action, for the "Database Name", I hard coded:

y:sidewalks2006swk_master.mdb

However, I want the 2006 to automatically come from some other location. Here’s what I tried to no avail (where I wanted the dlookup to return 2006):

y:sidewalks(DLookUp("[year]","[tblYear]","[Item]='year'"))swk_master.mdb

Thanks,
SKK
