I want to connect an Excel table with an Access table so when I make changes to excel table these changes to appear in the access table and use the access table for my web site.
The excel table looks like:
Room Type01/05/06-06/06/06 07/06/06-15/07/06
21/09/06-30/09/0601/10/06-31/10/06
* Standard Single 26 34
* Standard Double 44 59
* Standard Triple 60 80
When I try to connect this table with access I am getting an error reffering to the second line of the excel table where there are not numbers but dates.
The access connected table looks like:
Room Type01/05/06-06/06/06 07/06/06-15/07/06
#Number! #Number!
* Standard Single 26 34
* Standard Double 44 59
* Standard Triple 60 80
I want to know if it possible to use MS Excel instead of web application (ASP, HTML,...) that is connected to MS Access and will update MS Access as user update information on MS Excel?
If it possible how I should get started b/c I kind of have a template for Excel. I just need to learn connecting excel to MS Access and maintain them.
I have an access database that has fields that i want to be entered externally via excel. I want to be able to manipulate the data from access and excel. If you change in one, it will reflect the change in the other.
I want this to happen seemlessly, with a notification to either end when either end is changed.
Linking to an excel sheet from access doesn't seem to work because you can not change anything in the fields that were entered in excel from access.
I have also tried creating a connection from excel to access. I can change the data in access and it reflects in excel, but if i change the field data in excel, it doesn't reflect in access.
I have a database with existing tables.I now want to add a whole bunch of records into my access tables.A lot of the data is repeated, and lends itself to my doing it in excel with it's better copy and paste abilities, and it's ability to easily increment alphanumeric fields.I can't seem to succeed in append importing to the bottom of my access table from my excel spreadsheet. All columns are the same.Can this be done, and if so how please?I'm on XP Pro with Office 2003 Pro.I'm also very much a newbie in Access.
I decide I want to make a quick Database to merely keep track of a few job details. My use only mainly. Well the new guy decides that to get in the good graces of the production manager we're going to track all this other stuff with it and make the data easy to enter so anyone can do it. Well apparently HE bit off more then WE can chew. And now it's a matter of US working on this by HIM looking over my shoulder as I muddle my way through this. So now I turn to experts for help....
The Problem:
What I've got is a form that allows me to enter a variety of info on the projects we're doing. Nothing special. What I now need to be able to do is enter time employees spent on this job so we can better track how much each department spent on it. The problem is to enter the time ATM we have to rummage through every person's time sheet on a particular job and add all the times and enter it. This is sort of a grueling task at best and leaves ample room for error. What I'd like is another form specifically for entering the time. Chose the Job # from a drop down menu. Then chose which piece of the job from the drop down menu. From there I'd like to merely be able to select which department, (Also via drop down menu I suppose). And then merely have a box in which you enter a dept time and it ADDs it to the time already in the table for that dept. That way it should be easy to go through one employees time sheet, enter all there times and then go to the next one and have it added to a total dept time value in the table. Probably not overly complex. Merely beyond my limitations in Access.
So as an example.
All the data is entered on the project itself aside from time. So I want to be able to look at Mike's time sheet and say ok he worked for 2 hours on job # 4434 Unit 3. Pick #4434 from a drop down menu. Have the second menu sort to know that there's only Units 1,2,3, & 4 on Job #4434. (Got this accomplished.) Be able to pick a production department, let's say graphics. Enter 2 hours. And then when I get to Eric's time sheet I want to enter his time on that Job# and Unit# and have it added to that 2 hours giving a total department time. Got that? Any help or insight anyone?
Been using the access database created by a previous employee for a year without any issues. All of the sudden, the data I am entering in the table is not showing up in the query or report.
I have two tables: "Tbl_CM_Project_Details" and "Tbl_CM_Inventory"
that have the data that I am trying to connect with a third table: Tbl_CM_Proj_CMI_Connector.
Tbl_CM_Project_Details connecting field is PK_Project_Num to Tbl_CM_Proj_CMI_Connector field Connecting_Project_Num Tbl_CM_Inventory connecting field is CMI_ID to Tbl_CM_Proj_CMI_Connector field Connecting_CMI_ID
On the form I have a SQL Query where I enter the PK_Project_Num and the CMI_ID Auto enters. What I need is for this information to automatically fill the connecting table so that the information is connected.
I have a query all set up and now I have to add one field from another table in it. I am looking for a date which has the criteria Now() - Last Movement Date. Last Movement Date is the column I am taking from the other table which I just added which is the ZLX02 table. When I run the query, everything but the Last Movement Date shows up. What can I do to get the Last Movement Date to show? Check out the attached pics.
I have info in Excel workbooks coming from various individuals. I take bits and pieces of data from each and the update an Access DB. Is there a way to simply replace the table in Access without affecting the relationships that the current version of the table has?
I'm trying to link a spreadsheet as a table in Access 2002. The link wizard is importing my number columns as numbers, even though I defined them as text. I need for them to be text in Access. How do I force this?
Hello guyz, With the help of 'Import External Data' wizard, my import did not happen. My datatypes and Col. Headers in excel are matching for what I have in access table. Alternatively, I selected to import the data into new table and all of the data got imported. My question, since I already have some data in table I want data to be imported, how can I do about bringing all the data from new table I created during import to the existing table. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
I was importing the large array of accounting data into Access from Excel through File - Get External Data - Import. Several columns contained tangible accounting data (e.g. registration numbers) that had different formats like "23423 34", "32-3545" and in some cases even contained letter constants. Therefore, I have assigned TEXT type to this column while importing and was sure that all values are going to be stored as text. However, what has happened is: 18307769 turned into 1.83078e+007! this means tangible accounting data that was used as a key field for further linking turned into bull&&$%! :-(
I know this problem is very simple, so please, can you give me a hint as to how do I solve it in the future.
I have an access database that is used to store records of requests for for items. Example, ID, WhoRequested, CustomerName, Date, address, phone, WhatRequested, amt. I take this data and export it to an excel spreadsheet and send to another area for processing.
I then get the sheet back with the orderdate, ordernumber, and shippingnumber. I need to update the original table with this new information. it is not bad when there is only a few, but Ihave had 100 or so lately, and updating each record manually is time consuming.
I'm having trouble appending an excel sheet into my access table.
I have 8 columns in my excel sheet:
1- full_name (short text) 2- alias (short text) 3- email_address (short text) 4- user_ID (short text) 5- Location (which is annotated using numbers 1,2,3,4 etc.) (number) 6- active (yes/no) 7- TRI (yes/no) 8- Another user ID (Short text form)
I am trying to append this data to an existing table in excel with the EXACT same column names.
I can append each column from my excel sheet separately and they will appear on the access table, but once I try to append all of the columns at the same time, so the records are not placed in different rows, I get a message saying "Script out of Range"
I cannot seem to figure it out since they can be uploaded individually.
Just to clarify, the excel columns are formatted to the access columns.
Im familiar with Ms Access, but have never used VBA or Scripts. I have 37 Excel files with the same data and would like to import into one file. Data will be received on a monthly basis into the same directory and I would like to automatically upload the data into the same file in Access.
I'm pretty new to Access so I hope this question is not to simple/stupid ;)
Ok, I have an Excel Worksheet that I want to import into an Access Table. The column headers are identical! The only problem is:
- the Access table looks up a couple of the columns from other Access tables. When I try to import the Excel data, Access does (properly) report an error.
- Error: the records from the Excel file were added to the Access table but not all values were imported (no values were imported into the lookup columns...)
Any idea how I should procede so that I can import my data into Access?
Been wondering how I can update fields in my Access database table using data that lies in an excel spreadsheet. They have a common row ie say account number and other common fields that need to be updated.
I use an Excel interface to retrieve data from an Access file that has approximately 1 million records. I use an MS Query from Excel to run an Access Query to retrieve the data.
I have 16 "Criteria" fields (columns) in Excel that I change with drop-downs. Each criteria column has 2 to 9 values set; a total of 75 values. I pass these criteria fields to Access via a table link in Access.
The criteria of the fields in the query that is run in Access to pull the data based on the table link is updated by using the Values In A List (IN) option.
When I refresh this query in Excel, it pulls the data fine, but may take 10 minutes to run. (I am using MS Office 2003, 1Gig memory). I have limited VBA knowledge. Is there a better/faster way to pull this data?
Hopefully someone can help me this (and hopefully the solution isn't staring me in the face)
I am trying to export data from a cell in a worksheet to a field in an Access database that I am building. The database has two tables, tblCompanies and tblQuotes. It works through a macro accessed by a command button, which should export the total of a quote into the field Quote_Price in the tblQuotes table, which the users will access through a form. The problem is that if I export the data from Excel, I get an error message saying, "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'tblCompanies'. The code looks like this:
Sub NewQuote()
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection, rs As ADODB.Recordset, r As Long ' connect to the Access database Set cn = New ADODB.Connection cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _ "Data Source=C:Documents and SettingsDJEdwardsMy DocumentsTest Foldermarketing.mdb;" ' open a recordset Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset rs.Open "tblQuotes", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable r = 55 ' the start row in the worksheet Do While Len(Range("I" & r).Formula) > 0 With rs .AddNew .Fields("Quote_Price") = Range("I" & r).Value .Update ' stores the new record End With rs.Close Set rs = Nothing cn.Close Set cn = Nothing End Sub
I can import the cell contents from Access with no problems, but I would like the user to be able to do it from Excel to simplify things.
I have an export function below that will export my table "Test" to an Excel Spreadsheet.
However I want it so i can choose where that data in the "Test" table will go in the Excel Spreadsheet i.e. I want to export all the data in to Cell "B2" of the SpreadSheet - at the moment it will export all the data into "A1"
Any help or ideas?

I've been trying to load data from multiple excel worksheets in multiple workbooks into one table in Access. The first one loads fine, but after that I get errors and can't load anything else. All of the sheets are in the same format, so that shouldn't be the problem. Every solution I've tried has been a bust. All I want is to take all of my data and put it into one big database. Any suggestions?
