I am trying to use the following code to export a table into a new spreadsheet that does not exist yet:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, tbl_temp, "C:Spreadsheets" & rst!clientid & ".xls", True
but it won't work because the spreadsheet doesn't exist. How can I make Access create the spreadsheet?
Thanks in advance!

I want to run a report, I need to provide an option to export the output to an excel file or provide a print view. Where would I put the DoCmd.OutputTo command in the report to acheive this??
thanks
I am a novice Access user. The idea is to build a visit tracking database. We are currently using excel to input appointments and outlook for statistics and patient data (as contacts). I am basically doing double the work.
The excel sheet is one week (Mon-Sun), the dates are in the top row; the names of patients are in t/he left-most column. The visit is marked by the name of the therapist. So, if John Doe has a visit from Linda on 08/25/12, there would be a "L" in the cell corresponding to the date and patient. There are also initial visits by the head therapist and there is a letter "IV" in the cell to indicate that.
I know that I can import the contact list from outlook and create a table and I know there's a calendar function.
Is there a way to
1. Create a form that will act as a weekly calendar (with each cell in a column having the same date, indicated in the top row) with connection/sync with outlook?
2. Be able to customize this form: add and delete patients in the left column.
3. Have the form count number of visits (# of total visits, # of total visits after the initial visit). In other words keep statistics of various sorts.
I'm exporting data from a database (using a query) to create an excel spreadsheet. I then import said spreadsheet into a new database. I was hitting lots of problems (subscript out of range, violating this that and the other etc etc) which I cleared up and actually imported the data. Well today I cleared down the new database and imported the spreadsheet again and got this.
the contents of fields in 0 records were deleted and 0 records were lost due to key violations.Thereby followed what to do when you get these things happening.Now to me 0 records deleted and 0 records lost means it's all worked. WRONG!! No records were imported at all.
I have a database of around 15,000 users and I'd like to create a query that I can run on a weekly basis and save the results to an Excel spreadsheet. The results need to be logical and understandable by my coworkers.
Unfortunately, the actual results of the query are not (in their raw form) logical or easy to interpret.
Let's say I have a table called "users" and within that I have:
Surname
Forename
FieldA
FieldB
FieldC
FieldA has a value of either NULL or a 12-digit number
FieldB has the values are "ENABLED", "DISABLED" and "N/A"
FieldC contains a value of either "1" or NULL
This means nothing to my coworkers who want each user to be sorted into a "category". As I'm running this on a weekly basis, I'd like this query to do the work for me, so I don't have to manually assign everyone to a category in Excel. Plus, of course, there is no chance of human error if the query does this for me.
Sooo... I'd like my query to categorise for me as follows:
Category1 = FieldA IS NOT NULL and FieldB="ENABLED"
Category2 = FieldA IS NOT NULL and FieldB="N/A"
Category3 = FieldA IS NULL and FieldB="ENABLED"
Category4 = FieldA IS NULL and FieldB="N/A"
Category5 = FieldA IS NOT NULL and FieldC = 1
... etc.
I'd like the final column in the query results to simply list the category name, so I can simply copy and paste the data into an Excel spreadsheet and be done with it, safe in the knowledge that it makes sense to all.
I have a database scheduled to run nightly. In this database I have a macro that runs a macro. I want one of the arguments to export "T_Update_Log" from the database to an excel file as part of it's nightly macro. When I use "Transfer Spreadsheet" in my macro, it creates a new worksheet in my excel file each night (for example: T_Update_Log1, T_Update_Log2, etc) Instead, I want it to overwrite existing one.
I have also tried "Export" command, but that throws a prompt asking if I want to overwrite the existing excel file. I cannot have any message prompts during my nightly task or else it will stop the whole process. Setting the Warnings to No does not stop this particular message prompt.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
I am trying to create a form to enter data in a table. I would like to make it pull in info from a switchboard. If the record already exists I would like it to find it and allow me to edit the info. If the record doesn't exist I would like to be able to add a new record with the data input. What is the best way to accomplish this?

I have an excel ss that I regularly receive which needs to go into my access DB. I set up a macro with transferspreadsheet and that works, except for one problem. I have one field which is designed as text but has data that looks like numbers as well as data that looks like text. When I run the macro, the number-like data doesn't import as text (23602012345 imports as 2.3602e+010). FYI the field in access is already defined as text. Each time I import a ss, I am appending to the existing data in the table
I have tried formatting the excel column as text with no luck. If I remove the data that truly is text in that column (ABC1287567) and leave just the 236* data, and then format the excel column as text, it seems to work fine. It just doesn't like the mixing of the data...at least it seems to me.
Any ideas to avoid manual manipulation of my excel ss before running the macro would be very helpful.
Thanks much in advance!
Hello Peeps,
I'm trying to import an excel spreadsheet into an access table. The excell spreadsheet was created using the access table( by using the 'analyze using excel' feature)

Does someone have any clues as to how to fix this

Hello,
I'm trying to build a personnal budget application.
I need to build a form that looks like a grid.
On the first column, you will see the different budgets elements
On the top line (headers), you should see the different months of the comming year.
I already managed to build the necessary tables (with 2 keys in the table source for the form).
My questions are the following:
1) how can I build a forms that looks like a spreadsheet, proposing me every cells from the start (not only the cells that i have filled before)?
2) how can I make for this form to be dynamic ? This means that, if I add a budget element in the budget elements table, how can I make the form to be adapted automatically, adding a line under the others, for every months?
I have asked severall other forums, no one could answer me.
thanks for your help.

Anyone out there have any ideas on how to Import an Excel File (SPECIFIC worksheet) to an Access Database
I am looking to do this at the click of a button or when the database opens...
What I really want to do is......
Is there a way to import this into an already existing table.
Delete the existing records and import the new records from the Excel Spreadsheet?
THanks
WE are starting at the very basics. We used the db Wizard to set up a db for us. Now we are trying to import the data as a csv file. We keep getting an error Field 'Field6' doesn't exist in destination table 'Contacts'. We have looked at both the excel file and the table in Access and we cannot figure out what is holding us up. Please be patient, we are learning by the seat of our pants

If I create a macro with a single entry consisting of Transferspreadsheet from a single Access table to Excel it exports perfectly. When I call Transferspreadsheet from VBA code it moves some of the data and puts them into seemingly random Excel spreadsheet columns why is this?
This issue first came about when we had to export a table with more than 65,000 records in and so I export using a table name "Sheet1" , "Sheet2" as needed but surely the table name that it comes from makes no odds?
Any help appreciated!

G'afternoon to all, I was wondering if someone can help me code a Command button named "Export to Excell" on form frmEdit. I need to export a query named qryTagnumber onto an excell spread sheet, Also if it isn't that hard and if it can be done, I would like to change the rev of the file name everytime I hit the button. Can this be done? Please see attached database. The Modules had to be removed for confidentiality of my company. These don't have to be used to run the program. They are just used for String functions. I look forward to your responses. Thanks...

I am using
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, , qName, wFilepath, True
to export a query to a spreadsheet. I am using this method as it seems to solve the problem of memo fields being truncated.
It seems however that using this method if the spreadsheet file already exists (and is of a differant structure) nothing happens and no error is thrown.
Is this correct? - Thanks Paul
Hi there,
I have a spreadsheet which has a large amount of data. It is organised by database structure. I'm aware of primary keys etc but what I want to avoid is creating each field as new.
For example I would like to copy the fields from excel and paste them to create feilds in access. I'm aware that I would have to manually input any special parameters. This would save me a couple of hours.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Here is the problem
I have a tblOrders that has 1800 records with 31 fields primary key tblOrder which is a number.
Periodically users export data from SAP into a spreadsheet, which are changes to the original data but may not contain the exact same fields as the master tblOrders. The data in this spread sheet identifies changes and may contain aprox half of the fields that are contained in the master tblOrders. The field names however (in the spreadsheet) will be of the same type as in tblOrders.
What I would like to do is identify differences between the tblOrders records and the records in the spreadsheet, and then update the tblOrders to show the changes.
how would you proceed? Maybe create a new table by importing the excel spreadsheet into access and then somehow querying the differences and updating the master. If anyone has done anything like this b4 please could you update me...
Cheers in advance.

So I’ve been assigned to develop a database in Access which will house information on students who are participating in an internship program sponsored by my employer. I was given a spreadsheet with roughly 40 columns, so it is pretty detailed info about the students. For example personal student info (DOB, email, phone, etc), as well as school, major, year rank, school address, permanent address, etc.
Importing this given table is easy, just by using the import wizard. However I am faced with a challenge. The info I have is up to date at this point however in years to come there will be a need to import new student info. The only way my employer wants that to be done is by taking the new excel spreadsheet and importing that data into the already created database. Now this wouldn't be a problem if the DB is one flat, non-normalized, table because the columns would line up. However I feel that the DB needs to be normalized because of the vast amount of data that is repetitive, such as State or Major.
Is there a way to import an excel sheet into an existing normalized access database? Or even a way to automate it so that the excel columns would be broken up into the separate corresponding normalized tables?
Thanks!
