View 2 Replies View RelatedAll, I have code to import multiple text files into multiple tables in access 2003 There are about 15 tables It works but I have two problems. 1st I was converting the files from another source to text and placing them into a folder where I created import specification files. The problem is I need to automate the conversion part. How do I use VBA code to look at the file and add the extension .txt so that the program can find the file in the code. Here's part of my code. I didn't list all 15

How can I convert a web Access file to desktop aplication? I've created it from a model from Office.com, but I need create code in vba and it don't permit.
The use of file is only in desktop.
The file was converted from excel. It is in Datasheet view. I select the first column and clip on the Ascending choice under the Home Tab. It works but leaves a large gab of blank rows. I go to the Database Tools tab and check Compact and Repair Database. The file returns to the original unorganized list.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a project within access which will allow users to select/input information in a form which will then save to the database.
What I need is to create a button on the form which will allow you to convert the data collected from the form to a custom text file template.
(Or maybe the last row added to the database. - although this may cause errors. Example: the form information doesn't save which will in turn create a text file with the data collected from the previous job)
The custom text file template should have a sentence description followed by the value recorded from the form.
Example:
1 configuration type: (data from form)
2 model type: (data from form)
3 Poc: (data from form)
And so on.
So in summary - I would be to use the form to collect the desired information which will save to the database.
Once actioned, a custom text file should be populated with the collected information (with specific data placement as per the example above)....
I have a database that is designed with a front and back end, with the FE linked to the BE. Some potential customers want to play around with the database, and the easiest way for me to get them access to it would be for me to combine the FE and BE and just give them a copy of that. how to link a table, and I know how to import a table. What I'm unsure of is how to cleanly convert a linked table to a local table.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.
One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.
Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?
I have a (crosstab) query that summarizes information in the way that I need for a module that I have written. However, I've noticed that the each time the module tries to pull a value from the query (every step of a Do loop) it takes seconds, compared to a "real-time" pull from a table. I have had a program running for about 2 days now, whereas a similar program that pulled data from only tables took only 15 minutes. I don't forsee needing the data in its original form.
How do I convert a query to a table? (Export the query to Excel and then import.)
I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.
I've created a ComboBox and would like one of my selections: "Met" to be converted into a number value: "10" within the related field on the table.I've come up with the expression: =IF([Initial Review Q1]="Met",0,10)
Control Source accepts the expression, however when I go back to Form View and select "Met" access chimes and states: "Control can't be edited it's bound to the expression =if([Initial Review Q1]="met",0,10)".
I need to convert an entire table to lower case..
The table happens to only have one column in it, so each record only has one field..
How do I convert the entire thing to lower case?
I can not just convert the display info to lower case, this table is used as a cross-reference data table and I need to physically convert all the data in the entire table to lower case.
Oh, and I need this to be a macro of some sort, since the data is re-imported on a regular basis, and will re-convert to upper case on the import.
Thanks,
Bill
Hello all, I'm quite new to Access. I've read many Access tutorials and site but I have yet to found the solution for my problem. So here it is (pardon my english):
Field AmountTotal is
=(Nz([AmountSubTotal])+Nz([AmountSH])-Nz([Discounts]))
I manually input AmountSubTotal, AmountSH and Discounts. I expected an automatic calculation for AmountTotal.
In "Form view" I get the result of AmountTotal that I wanted. But the calculation result doesn't get recorded in my field data table AmountTotal. It just shows blank.
How do I record this automated results into my original table?
Thanks in advance!

View 3 Replies View RelatedCreating a recordset from an Access table
Copy that recordset into a Variant variable, similar to a matrix
Run a Heuristic Algorithm on the matrix to populate values
Delete * from the orginal Access table
Input new data into the Original Access table by looping through matrix with an INSERT INTO statement.
This method works but I do not like the loop in step 5 as I am calling an INSERT INTO statement 800+ times and can be slow. Any way to view the variant as a whole and not have to loop through the entire matrix. Maybe possibly converting the variant to an Access tabledef.

I am in the process of building a new database in SQL to replace my MS Access database. However, I will continue to use the Access forms, queries, and reports. The new tables will house much of the same data. In multiple tables I have hyperlinks that were created and added in the original Access tables. To import these hyperlinks into the new SQL tables I have converted them to 'Long Text' before exporting, thus changing them into strings.
For example:
Hyperlink - Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) has been changed to:
Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010)#ServernameServerfolderDocumentationRea dy to GoOutlook TemplatesEmail - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010).oft#
The obvious issue that I am running into is that after the SQL database table has been linked to the Access database it still displays the entire string when I open the table. The form has a textbox and search button that is used as a search function. This runs a query that returns all "search results" for the desired information. Is there a way that the query can convert the string back into a hyperlink so that the query displays just Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) as a hyperlink and not the entire string?
I am trying to create a table for income and expense [catergory] and would like the amount being entered into the [amount] field to have a negative or positive value on entering based on the category chosen.

[amount] which is entered in the next field ( which has to return a positive or negative value based on the catergory choosen upon entering the data)

I have a multivalue text field called "Groups" that is generated through a relationship with another table called "Comments". When I set this up I left the field as a text field when it should have been a number field, and now I can't use the database with sharepoint, because the field needs to be a number field.
My Question is there a way to convert it without loosing all my data, as there are over 5000 records?
My Table with the multivalue field is called "Contacts", the field is called "Groups".
I tried update and append queries but I must be doing something wrong....

View 1 Replies View RelatedI work for a company that has a mainframe application that produces "outgoing" files. They are downloaded to a server and converted to ASCII (all at one time) and then ftp'ed to various clients. We are converting to a client server application and I am in charge of verifying that the mainframe application files (converted) are EXACTLY the same as the server application files. I came up with a process of loading the files to access databases and then with a series of queries and reports produce a list of exactly what doesn't match, which record, what positions and display the two fields that are mismatching.
My problem is that when I try to load the Mainframe file (note that it has already been converted and "eyeball to eyeball" the files are alike) using the "new" / import functions, Access rejects the file because it is greater than 65000 bytes. If I cut the file down to under 65k bytes it loads fine. I can load a 500,000 byte file that was created on the server in the first place.
Any suggestions? I can't change any of the processes that create the files. But I can change copies of the files so that I might be able to get them to load so I can verify that the data inside is the same. I'll let the geeks figure out how to fix the file/record control stuff.
(wouldn't have this problem if I was back on a mainframe!!!!)

I am stuck with a problem where I need to create a new table from an excel file. In detail my problem is;
The excel file contains an order from a customer, like below,
BOM Component Qty
123 abc 2
123 def 2
234 ert 1
234 qwe 1
234 uio 1
I need to create a table from this data like;
Qty Partno
1 123
4 abc
4 def
1 234
2 ert
2 qwe
2 uio
NB! In reality the components are numbers not letters.
The qty for BOM is always 1 and the component 2xqty.
It is important that the BOM number is listed first and thereafter its components.
So I need to somehow associate the BOM number with its components and list them together as a group.
I just cannot figure out how to do this.
ANy help is greatly appreciated.
