In previous versions of access when importing data from text files a conversion error table was created.
In access 2003 this facility no longer appears. It tells me there are import errors, imports the acceptable records but then no errors table.
Am I being stupid, have I got something turned off. Many thanks for any support anyone can provide.
I am having Conversion errors pop up after I run an import, whats the quickest way to fix it?
View 4 Replies View Relatedthough my actual application contains 6 tables, I will give an example with 2 to simplify my question:
Say I have a simple DB with a Company table and an Employee table....the only attributes are CompanyID (autonumber/PK) and CompanyName for the Company table and EmployeeID (autonumber/PK) and EmployeeName for the Employee table.
Now I have an excel spreadsheet with Company Names and Employee Names on a worksheet. How can I import these to both tables and keep the relationship of who works where? Keep in mind that I have 6 tables in my actual DB.
I am building an access database to manage a data conversion from multiple legacy systems (62) to a new non access database, and plan on making my Conversion Database reusable and functionally simpler.All data is imported to one common Table structure, with the source system identified against each record.In my legacy systems values are not coded the same ie
Title: Mr Miss Ms Mrs Record Type: Active, Inactive
System A: 1, 2, 3, 4 a , i
System B: a, b, c, d 1 , 2
System C: x, y, z, w ACT, ,INA
This applies to sooo many fields.I want to avoid having a mapping table for each field as I will quickly have an unmanageable number of mapping tables, and complex relationships in Queries..I would like to get to the point where I could have a single value mapping table something as follows
System, Field, Old Value, New Value
System A, title, 1 Mr
System A, title, 2 Miss
System A, title, 3 Ms
System A, title, 4 Mrs
System B, title, a Mr
System B, title, b Miss
System B, title, c Ms
System B, title, d Mrs
And some how call this in VB to go through all fields and records in a table if Old Value is found for a specific "System" and "Field" Change to new value, if noting found on Mapping table keep existing data.
I keep getting conversion errors, even though my field lengths and formats seem to match up. How to pursue a diagnostic for this?

Can anyone give me any pointers as how Id achieve this, as append query or import dont seem to fit what I need.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI need to import an excel spreadsheet into an existing Access 2003 table. Due to regulations, the spreadsheet cannot be linked.
When I try to import the spreadsheet, I receive a 'Type Conversion Failure' associated with a 'Product ID' field. In the Excel file, this column is populated with two types of values-- either a 9 digit number, or a 9 digit alpha numeric value. The 9 digit numbers import correctly, but the alpha numeric values fail.
Field names/layout in the excel spreadsheet are identical to the Access table, and the field type in the existing Access table is set to 'text.' There is no set Format, or Input Mask.
What I could change with the existing table to make this import work? I'd like to avoid importing a new table, as this would force me to recreate a number of relationships after each import.
common error in VBA imports. It has happened with spreadsheets and text files I have users importing. An error message pops up "Type Mismatch." But the import appears to work correctly. So I added code that On Error, if error Like "*Type mismatch*" continue to next step. Now the user gets a longer error message: "The expression On Click entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Type mismatch." Again, the import still works, but this message is annoying! The even stranger thing is that I do not get this error message on my machine. Just the other users.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have an Excel file that I use to enter data. About half the columns are validation cells to minimize human error. The validation cells are in rows 2-200. I then import the data into Access.
The problem is that, even if I only enter or select data in one row, Access imports all 200 rows that contain validation cells. I only want the rows in which I've actually entered/selected data to be imported.
I've searched this forum, but may not be using the correct search criteria.
I've also searched Google for "Access Imports Blank Validation Cells from Excel" and other variations of the same words, and switched empty for "blank".
Can someone recommend a thread or on-line article that will give me an idea how to work around this?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
PS. Sorry, I wasn't sure under which category to post this.
Again, thanks for your time.
Morning all,
I'm having a problem with mdb file size. I'm importing a large amount of data from a number of tab delimited text files via a simple transfertext function. The process goes: empty the tables in the database, then import the data into the tables.
All this works fine, but the file size rockets to over 1.5Gb. When I then compact and repair, it goes down to 420Mb. I'm not deleting and recreating the tables, and at no point is there 1.5Gb worth of real data, so what's causing this?
N.B. I realise I can call compact and repair following the import, but this is going to take too long as they are user-initiated imports.
I'm merging a few databases together. They're fairly simple on their own but I'd like them as one big database. I read that I should import each access database into a new, blank one.
It all works fine, but none of the saved imports and exports come with them. Unfortunately, these imports and exports are relied upon quite heavily.
Is there a way to bring saved imports over from other databases, or will I have to rebuild each one?
I need assigning IDs across tables so I can relate them. I have two tables.
The first table contains data regarding schools.
SchoolID [autonumber, primary key]
SchoolName
SchoolPostcode
The second table contains data regarding children numbers in each year group for each school
VaccinationSessionID [Primary Key]
SchoolID [want this to match the school id assigned in the first table!]
SchoolName
WeekofVisit
YearGroup
StartingDenominator
Etc.
In the second table the data was imported from Excel, so all but the School ID was imported. Each school name appears 7+ times in the second table.
How do I get the school ID assigned to a school name in the first table, to automatically assign and fill in the (currently blank) School ID field in the second table? I want to remove school name from the second table eventually, to use the Primary Key school ID in the first table, and Foreign Key school ID in the second table.
When I click a tab (table,queries,reports or module) I receive an error that says (" isn't an index in this table. Look in the indexes collection of the TableDef object to determine the valid index names). Please help.
Thanks,
Kacy
I'm in the process of migrating my Access database to SQL, but am encountering problems. Firstly when I exported it I discovered that all of my Access queries had been converted to Tables. After deleting these, I attempted to cut and past the SQL code from the Access Queries to SQL's "views", which I had been taught were effectively the same thing.
However, now I come to test them I get an error that says it cannot be displayed because the query is a "view object".
What is happening here, am i doing the correct thing?
Thanks.
I have thousands of PDFs of which I want to present a number as thumbnails on a form and allow the users to select any one and have the full PDF displayed.
The only way in which I can see this working is to have the thumbnail as a JPG image and set the On Click property to display the relevant PDF. This part is quite simple, the problem I have is converting the existing PDFs to JPGs.
Any way of converting PDFs to JPGs using VBA code?
Hi all,
i have been sick for quite a while,But back on track now.In the past i was building a car event db and would like to finish it.I have checked it out and there seems to be a few errors that i can't remember anything about.
you must have outlook installed otherwise some missing references come up.also there seems to be a problem with the date on the invoice form,the backup section in utilites.
If someone could have a look and point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
The file is access 2003 format
I have database which has worked normally, and just made a couple of amendments
I then go to edit a form (which I had not amended) and get an Access has an fatal error etc.
I reopened it. and repaired compiled etc, but absolutely impossible to get into this form. Access crashes every time I try to do something with it. I can't even delete the form.
(This was A97)
There's no problem, I just got my last back up, and imported the changes I had made from the faulty dbs -
I just wondered if anyone else ever got these issues, and what they did about them.
Hi All,
I've created an Access Database off of an old Fox Pro System. What I need to do is take the data from the tables in the old system and convert them in Access '03. I have roughly 4600 records to transfer.
When I copy the data from the old system and paste it in an Access table, only 300 or so records are pasted. Also, when I check the paste errors, there are less than 100 in there. Where are they going?
Some of the files aren't pasting because there were input errors on some. Others are linked with a department and Acct number and some of those are no longer current, so another reason why some of these records aren't pasting. This is a problem, but should only be around 500-1000 records tops.
I have noticed if I paste less at a time, I get less errors and more are actually copied through, but I don't know exactly how many I should do at a time?
Some questions I have are:
1. How many should I paste at a time?
2. Am I missing something with the paste errors, is there like a setting I can adjust?
3. Is there a better way to convert this old table into a new table?
Any suggestions or comments would be great because I have been stuck on this for a while and I DO NOT want to input these records one by one.
Thank you in advance,
Josh
Here's an email I sent to one of my friends seeing if he had any insight. I might explain my problem a little better here:
Purchasing Department has an old Fox Pro Contract System. I made this same system into Access and it works great. My problem is now converting the tables from the old system into the new system. There are approx. 4200 records. I have tried pasting them all in together and also sections at a time, but everything I do so, I get more or less copied through, and more or less paste errors displaying the ones that hadn’t copied over.
The reason some are not pasting in is because of old user input errors. Another reason is department and account numbers have changed therefore when the copy takes place, if Access doesn’t recognize an Acct number, then it cannot relate it to a department and will not paste in. I’m fine with that though. The problem I’m having is I’m always getting different amounts of errors each time I do this. For example, I did the first 500 records. Had 21 paste errors, all the others pasted fine. I then tried to do less so I copied the first 400 and only received 3 errors, but then I did the next 400 after that and only 200 pasted through and it only displayed 20 or so paste errors. I think there are roughly 400-500 bad records so I’m not understanding why all but those 400-500 paste.
We have an access db that has been working fine for ages and now when we click on a New Record button we are getting the following error:-
Run time error 2105 - you can't go to the specified record. erroring out on the line DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec. We are not aware of anything changing on the PC that the db is sitting on. I have spent the whole day searching the web but have found nothing helpful.
I have compacted and repaired the db, even went to the form/table security to see if all users can edd/add.
Any help greatfully received

I do a query to remove "." from a list of my servers. This works great, but for every name on the list without a "." I get an error in the output. Is there any way to remove these errors from the output, so I only see the data that has been properly pruned down?
here is the query i'm running
sort: Left([AgentName],InStr([AgentName],".")-1)
I have an unbound combo box that is sporadically failing with an error message when an entry in its pulldown list is selected. The error message is to the effect: 'The value you entered isn't valid for this field' .
The record source for the combo box is a table/query which is updated by an event triggered by another control on the form. That code also sets the Format property of the combo box to match the native Format of the field from which the combo box is retrieving the data. So data from Yes/No field, a date field, or a currency field, for example, display properly in the revised combo box. When the combo box is populated from a source field that has no special format (the usual case, as with text fields), the code resets the combo box's Format to "".
Again, the combo box has no control source (it is unbound). So, the only culprit for an error message like this that I can think of is this Format property. Yet, when the error occurs, the combo box's Format is properly set to "", which should permit any kind of data, and I try entering any kind of data at all -- all data is rejected with this error message.
Is there any thing else I should look at?
Hi,
this is probably an old one but its catching me out. I'm writing a sports club database in ASP.
When users submit their club details in the form to Access, I get errors if it has the characters ' in any of the fields.
I've managed to get around " by replacing it with "". However, this doesn't seem to work with '
I'm new to ASP... anyhow the part of my form which deals with this is:
Form_style = Trim(Replace(Request.Form("style"),"""",""""""))
Form_club_name = Trim(Replace(Request.Form("club_name"),"""",""""""))
Form_name = Trim(Replace(Request.Form("name"),"""",""""""))
Form_website = Trim(Replace(Request.Form("website"),"""",""""""))
I also do a bit more error checking on the email address, for length, @ etc. This bit seems to work ok. However,
Any tips on how to improve the error handling for ' or " before its submitted to access is appreciated.
Thanks
My Access 2000, created the dummy's way, has been perfectly happy with its query expressions. But when I create a module calling up these queries, I get Compile Error on many perfectly legal expressions such as Left([pfn],1).
I've tried repairng the database but to no avail.
What is going on, please?
Btw, DBicken, it's when I include your text concantenation code (Posting 6/21/06: "A whole lotta text/stitching") but I don't think it's your fault: it's just exposing it. I can't try your suggestion until I solve this problem.
The problem is that when an admin update the database from a web application that I created in .asp, it gave an error message.
The only way to fix this is to restart the IIS services and others that depend on IIS. But this is not practical.

P.S. This is an Online Food Menu which is inside an 'Employee Directory' that is a web application. When a user open up the 'Employee Directory', it load up the page along with an icon to view 'Online Food Menu'. Kind of like having a web application within a web application. Updating the Employee Directory is not a problem. The issue lies on the admin side where s/he try to update the menu, it give 2 of the above errors that I mention.
It is on a Windows 2003 standard edition machine.
