Queries :: Converting CSV File Into Text Format - Export Records With Specific Series And Date
Jun 7, 2015I have a CSV file and want to convert it in a text format with some filtered data and with some formatting. This is an everyday task for me. So I made a table and imported the data in to it by the command :
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "fo Import Specification", "fo", FileName:="C:UserswelcomeDesktopfo.csv", HasFieldNames:=True
Actually I have a column "SERIES", contains various series like "EQ", "BE", "DR", "BZ", "D1" and so on. And one more column with the dates having 4 / 5 current months dates and one next months date and one next to next month's date. And every date has got several thousand records.
now the issue is that : After importing these several thousand records, I want to export it but with a specific date and with a specific series.
The other thing is that, these dates change every month so if hard coded, the problem will occur the next month.
I use this code for export :
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "NewFnoSpec", "fnoquery", "C:UserswelcomeDesktopFO Output.txt", True
this code is working fine but when the month will change, the code won't work.
Can we have a date & series picker attached to this query, so it can export the records with the specified SERIES & DATE.
I tried putting a textbox on the form named TxtDate and in a Query ( Design mode ) under the date column, in criteria I have put [Forms]![Futures]![TxtDate] and after putting this line, the query becomes empty and no data is there.

Converting 1000s Of Spreadsheets To One Access File
Apr 2, 2007A group in my company has, for quite a while now, used a spreadsheet template to capture information needed for customer hard output. Someone built a page, with the less-than-a-dozen required cells in the appropriate places and a set print area, for printing the information. After they enter the information and print the page, they save the excel file. They have been doing this for quite a while now, and the number of files they have on their shared drive is staggering... and the method they using for naming conventions and cataloging them is almost beyond comprehension.
As they do indeed refer back to these files quite a bit, I am wondering if it possible to import the required cells of information from this mass of excel files, all of which are formatted and laid out the same, to an access table. I have never considered this before and have no idea how to start or whether it is even possible. I did a search on "import" but no results match what I am considering here.
To clarify one thing about these files: The information is not contiguous. It is spread all over... C6, E12, F45, J5, etc. They tried to build the form in excel so that it would print in the format they needed.
Thanks for all your help!!

Converting A Percentage Field From A Text File
Dec 31, 2007I have a text file delimited and uploaded the information to a new Access Table. One field "MarketValue" has a number followed with a percentage (i.e. 100%, 54%, etc..), however it converts as a text column.
How can I convert the column to a TRUE percentage field representing the value originally imported.
Converting Image Stored In Table To .jepg File
Aug 17, 2007I am creating a employee db where the pic of the employee is displayed. The pic of the employee is currently stored in a folder using the employee ID as the file name, and the link to the pic file is stored in the employee table. The pic is displayed via an "on current" event of the employee form. I would like to be able to aquire a pic directly from a digital camera into the folder and have it available for the employee display form. I am not sure how to do it as the link to the pic file must be automatically stored in the employee table associating it with the employee info.
At present, I am thinking of capturing the pic from the digital camera into a Temptable in the db and converting the image in the Temptable into a jepg file in the pic folder with the employee id as its file name. If I can do this, I am pretty much home free. Can someone please help. If not the method above, please directly me to another. Thanks

Extraxt And Format Data From Txt File
Jun 28, 2006Does Access able to extract and format data from Access such as follow:
abc/d e4.5% 0216 010203 USD22.35 - extract 'abc', '010203', '22.35'.
abc - it's always in front, it's either 'abc' or 'wxyz'. If 'abc' is not shown, just input 'wxyz'.
'010203' - it will be in the middle, it may appear as abc010203 or abc222010203, always in 6 digit.
22.35 - always at the back, after three alphabet, if it's not shown, just input 0.
I have been able to do it in Excel, but I am wondering if it can be done in Access so that I can eliminate the process to import the text file into Excel.
Please advise and thanks.
Odd File Format For Import By Bank
Jun 19, 2007Hi:
Working with a bank that wants a file from us so they can import into their check reconciliation program. Got the export from the accounting program working for the info they need, but the bank guy says he needs a file structure like this:
(first row is header..don't worry about what the stuff means for now)
1234578990000000000000000
(rest of rows are details)
1234589000807091234
1234589000807093456
notice the line breaks between header and rows? Wouldn't this call for a line break and mess up an import program? Bank guy isn't a database person and is clueless
Thanks......

Modules & VBA :: Export DAT File With Delimited Format
Aug 20, 2014I need to export a .dat file with delimited format (using ";")
I have tried the following:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "ED File", "Employee Data Output", "c: estfilesfile1.dat", False, ""
But when I execute the code the following error is shown:
Run-time error '3027'
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only
Using the same structure "DoCmd.TransferText" but with the .txt extension in the file works perfect.
Also I have tried export the .dat file using DoCmd.OutputTo, but even if the export is done, the format is not kept.
How can I export the .dat file keeping the delimited format needed?
Unrecognized Database Format - Repair File?
Jun 4, 2014I created a database for my Dad's farm and it was all going well until I have been away for a while. I ensured the DB was backed up properly before I left but he didn't know how to back it up himself apparently so now we are in trouble.
Anyway, one day he went to open the DB and got the "unrecognized database format" message and the file doesn't open at all. The DB was created in Access 2013 and has only ever been used in 2013 (though my Dad uses runtime as he doesn't have a full license like me).
There is a couple of months worth of data which would cause a real headache if it was lost so fixing the file is the best outcome if at all possible, I tried the "compact and repair" from inside access without the DB opened but got the same message. I noticed that there is 3rd party software online claiming to fix all access files but they sound a little too good to be true and a good source of infecting my computer with a virus.

Transfer HTML That Has XLS File Format In Access 2010 Using VBA
Oct 20, 2015I have a downtime system that was created by our IT department that records the downtime of the line stops, it has export to excel button that will export the downtime to excel based off the parameters of date and time. I want to do the export then import to access for downtime analysis. The problem I am having is the programmers export it as HTML with .xls file format. and the worksheet has a date associated with it as well as the spreadsheet has a tab that contains a date and I can't figure away to import to a fixed table. So I tried the transfer spreadsheet not knowing it was in HTML, couldn't recognize the format, then I tried transfer HTML, can't find the file because of .xls file format. I know I could re-save it as a excel file but was trying to keep the steps to a min. Is there a way to import even though it has a date attached to the file and spreadsheet tab.

Sep 4, 2014the databases functionally normally with no issue. I have several databases one for each project and they are all having this issue. It doubles the size of the DB after the failure. This seems to tell me that the crash is just after the DB is ready to rewrite the database compacted. I run C&R about every 2 weeks and have a spread sheet tracking DB size prior to and after C&R. The compactions run from about 1% to 15% the norm seams to be 4% to 6%. The size of the DBs run from 65KB to 100KB.
