Deleting Import Error Tables
Dec 31, 2004
I routinely import from an Excel document provided by a third party. Most data in it is ok, but 10-15 records always end up in the import error tables which Access creates automatically when formats do not match.
I am trying to automate this whole process thru VBA and am pretty successful so far, except that I haven't figured out how to programatically get rid of these tables (I do not need them, and data imports anyway).
Is there a way to destroy a table programatically in Access?
Thanks

Greetings all.
Having searched the last couple of days, I am unable to find a resolution to this problem. If it has been answered already, a simply link or thread name would be appreciated. If not, help is greatly appreciated.
I have code running that imports data from a .txt file into a table.however, on some days there will be errors importing some of the data. I have found that from the last three months, there has been no data of consequence lost so, I don't care about the data errors. However, any time there is an error with the import it creates a table that is named for example:
01-03-05 Auth_ImportErrors
where "01-03-05 Auth" is the name of the file imported. So each time they import a file, a new table is created. Is there any code that I can run that can automatically delete these tables upon exit?
I'm just tidying up really.
Thanks in Advance.

I am attempting to set up a saved import procedure in an Access database that will be run programmatically using docmd.RunSavedImportExport. The source document is an Excel file.My goal is to trap any import errors caused by inconsistencies in the source data. I'd also like to provide the user with some small amount of feedback on what is causing these errors.
My initial thought was to make use of the "File_ImportErrors" table that is generated following an unsuccessful import. *Not once* has this import procedure consistently generated an error table - sometimes the table is created, sometimes it isn't.
I have tried changing the file format of the import file to comma- and tab-delimited files, respectively. Both of these formats do consistently generate an error table, however none of the error values in the table are accurate - it reports a slew of type conversion errors for fields that are completely consistent and unproblematic, whilst completely overlooking conspicuous errors from text strings in date fields.
I have tried the same import, both procedurally and manually, using all available Excel and text-delimited formats, with the same respective results.I notice that nearly every thread on AWF pertaining to error tables discusses how to delete them, rather than make effective use of them. I suspect this is perhaps why?

I am trying to format a spreadsheet to import into a Table. To do this I need to delete the top 8 rows and then the 4 rows below the data I need, both areas contain header data. The 4 rows below the data I need are blank but formatted oddly and it is causing issues during import.
Code:
Sub ExcelFormat()
Dim excelApp As Object
Set excelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
excelApp.worbooks.Open ("Z:DataTest.xlsx")
End Sub

I want to make a database of diseases (need to learn them for school and would like a serchable database on my smart phone for future reference).
Unfortunately spent a lot of time making hundreds of pages of word tables before i realized a database would be better. See attached image or pdf. Is there a way to import the tables to Access?
I need to preserve the hierarchic info in the nested bullet point lists. E.g. under treatment i might have a point called Acute treatment, with sub-levels, Step 1, Step 2, etc. with their own sub-levels. I need to maintain this relational hierarchic info.

I'm using MS Access 2003.
I have a form that displays in datasheet view. When I select a record and hit my keyboard's Delete button, I see the following error:
The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time.
This error *always* appears when deleting any record from this form. After clicking OK on this error, if I refresh the form, the record in question has indeed been deleted.
We use an Oracle back-end, and I have tried dropping the associated triggers, but the error message persists.

I have two tables "Master List" and "Audit". I want to delete the records from the "Master" that match those in the "Audit". I am using Access 2010 and have used it often but have built very few queries.

:confused:
I am Developing a simple VBA program for Access for my final year of my Degree and I have come up with a problem that I don’t seem to be able to fix.
I have create tables using SQL
SQL = "CREATE TABLE tblInvoiceLines" & _
"(InvoiceNo LONG, PartNo LONG," & _
"Quantity LONG)"
DoCmd.RunSQL (SQL)
Deleting this with the below code works,
SQL = ""
'This will delete the Invoice Line Table
SQL = "DROP TABLE tblInvoiceLines"
DoCmd.RunSQL (SQL)
But once I alter the table with the below code the Delete command doesn’t work, does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
SQL = "ALTER TABLE tblInvoiceLines " & _
"ADD CONSTRAINT fkInvoiceNo " & _
"FOREIGN KEY NO INDEX (InvoiceNo) REFERENCES " & _
"tblInvoices (InvoiceNo) " & _
"ON UPDATE CASCADE " & _
"ON DELETE CASCADE "
conDatabase.Execute SQL
Thanks

In my program you are allowed to make backups of the current databases to an external file. It also allowes you to get the tables back from one of those files. At least it should.
I thought this wouldn't be a biggy. I thought I'd just delete my current tables and replace them with "docmd.tranferdatabase" acImport.
But the stupid thing wont let me delete its tables because they are connected to each other. Can I somehow delete the link before deleting them?
If so will the links be there again once I restore the tables from the backup?
Or do I need to reconnect them somehow to each other.
Or maybe another approach would be to import them without deleting the original ones. Thus the new ones get the same name of the original ones + "1" or something. Than I delete all records from all my original tables. And refill them with all the records from the new ones (the + "1"-ones) And delete the new ones. And if I would do that, would it be best to use AcImport or AcLink (from docmd.tranferdatabse)
Can I have some pro's oppinion on this plz.

I was wondering if there is a way in selecting all tables and deleting at one go instead of selecting one by one. Perhaps a little bit of programming. Tx in adv

I am trying to make a database for a shop which can do several things:
1) I want to give in what is being bought by the shop to make their products form. This has to be saved in a table named STOCK.
2) I want to be able if I say in a form that from these things I made that product that these things dissapear from the STOCK table and that the final product is added to the STOCK.
3) If the final product is solled I want to remove it from stock.
In the end if I want to see what is still in the stock I will only have the things that are still there because the rest is removed.
How can I do this??
Thanks for your answer

Hi.
I have a cluttered database with too many 'no longer necessary' queries and tables.
Is there a way (other than deleting them one at a time) to delete multiple ones at once, as I can in My Documents, et cetera?

I am using the following query to identify rows in one table that have no match in another:
SELECT MAS.MASID
FROM MAS LEFT JOIN IVT ON MAS.Field1=IVT.Field1
WHERE ((IVT.IVTID) Is Null);
MAS is one file with MASID as the key.
IVT is the other file with IVTID as the key
This provides me a list of the rows in MAS with no match in IVT.
I now want to delete these rows in MAS so we can process the other fields in the table.
what is the syntax for the delete statement? I can't get the join to fit in correctly.
Help!

If a user wishes to delete a record, rather than deleting the record i'd like to change its status to not current for instance.
The reason being that the information in the records may be useful for statistical use.
I added a yes/no field to the table and then added some code to a delete button to change the yes/no.
I can't seem to hide these records from my forms (using filter) but I could be going the wrong way about it.

i have a data base with a primary key but some records have been added from a excel data base and now the data base has duplicate records with different primary keys. I do a Query looking for duplicate records based on a field not the the primary key. There are 315 out of 22000. I can sort the table and then manually delete the dups. The Query does not allow deleting records so finding the culprits in the full Data base is time consuming. How can i delete the duplicate records using a query? Is this function available hidden someplace in the guts of Access? Seems like this would be a frequent problem. The Microsoft forum addresses this problem and the only viable solution is the manual method, when they get to the Query method it looks like they just forgot what the subject was and tell you how to delete one record if you know what the criteria is. If two non Key fields are Identical then i want to delete one of the records.

I'm running MS Access 2007. I'm creating an import procedure (for 2003 and 2007) that will automatically import an EXCEL file into a table for MS Access 2003 and 2007. The automatic import procedure works fine, but everytime the procedure is ran it creates an 'ImportError' table, due to blank rows (i.e. 'Type Conversion Failure'). The blank rows are due to the source EXCEL file not having value in a cells. This is normal for the source EXCEL file. These 'ImportError' tables are numbered each time this procedure is ran. I added a 'DoCmd' (see below for statement) statement in the procedure delete these tables, The below statements are used in a loop. I see that there are several procedures out there that use 'DAO' to accomplish this. If possible, I would like to use something that will use the below 'DoCmd' statements. This will eliminate the need to touch each PC to set 'ADO' or 'DAO' on.
DeleteTblCnt = DeleteTblCnt + 1
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Import Data_ImportErrors"
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Import Data_ImportErrors" & DeleteTblCnt

My table (excel spreadsheet) sits on another directory from the DB. If I delete the table on this directory and immediately replace it with a table with the same filename, format, etc (only the data has changed) will each database user have to relink the table on their desktop DB? Or will the forms/subforms/reports still maintain their relationships/functions and just display the new data?

I have a crosstab table that is displaying in a form within a form because the form has data coming from multiple tables.
Crosstab Query looks like
Name Sum Cust1 Cust2 Cust3.....
Jon 50 250
Bill 100 50 100
Kevin 200 50 100
Ryan 10 500
The issue are the blanks in the rows for each Name. When I bring it up on the form, I want the columns to be the Customers but only customers with amounts. The original form is there to show the name and position and the form within the form should have 1 row for name of the person that is being selected and columns of customers WITH A BALANCE.
