I have recently upgraded from Office XP to Office 2007. I had an Access database which worked fine in Access XP. In it I had a table linked to an Excel spreadsheet. When I entered data on an access form, it updated the Excel spreadsheet [source document] accordingly. This does not seem to work in Access 2007. The linked table option now does not permit data entry or amendement. The other "Get external data" options create a table in Access which also does not update my source Excel document. The idea is to enter data in Access using a form. This data is placed in an excel spreadsheet. Excel gets some lookup values, and then enters these in a Word mail merge. Without the functionality of a linked table and data entry, I cannot produce new reports.
I have a database that contains a series of tables & queries that feed a formatted Excel sheet(s). The problem is it is not very portable.
It works fine on my local computer, but if I give the database to someone else and when the open the Excel template and try to refresh the data from the database they get an error "could not find file C:documents and settingsusername...
If I make a file for them off of documents and settings with my username and put the database in it, it works fine.
So I guess the question is, how do I change the path in Excel to reference the users computer without re-doing all the external queries?
code that will allow me to take data [All Fields] from a Table in my Database and Insert them into another identically structured Table in another MS Access accdb Database.I would also like to filter for records older than a month [MyDateField]
I have tried the following code I found on line. It doesn't throw an error . . . but it doesn't perform the Insert either.
Code: Dim ws As DAO.Workspace 'Current workspace (for transaction). Dim db As DAO.Database 'Inside the transaction. Dim bInTrans As Boolean 'Flag that transaction is active. Dim strSql As String 'Action query statements. Dim strMsg As String 'MsgBox message.
I'm trying to import about 18 excel spreadsheets into one database in Access. I've been using "get external data" to import the spreadsheets as tables, and the first 8 of them worked fine, but now I cannot import any more excel files. The only error message I'm getting is "An error occurred trying to import file 'C:....xls' The file was not imported." And this error pops up after I have gone through all of the importing steps. Did I exhaust Access's resources? It's not a format issue, and I've restarted, etc. I'm at a loss.
Running Office 365 (Access 2013). Recent problem occurrence. When I do an 'External Data' command, either from another Access database or an Excel file, the import completes, but I don't see the new table immediately in the navigator section. If I import from another Access database, the new imported tables appear as '~TMPCLP....' tables. If it's from an Excel workbook, the new table doesn't appear at all. It's only after I exit the database and reopen it do I see the new tables correctly named.
I have an Excel file with a name range "DBIAS" which identifies all database data.
Then I have an Access file with a form to import that database (better, that named range) into an Access table. While importing, I have to filter some records or grouping by some field.
I cannot run correctly a VBA code to get data (filtered and/or grouped) from that name range and save those records to an existing or a brand new table.
I could get those data as DAO.recordset and printed out with "Debug.print" on immediate window, but I cannot complete the final step: writing those records to a table.
I'm new to this. I'm trying to enter data (it's actually Latitude and Longitude co-ordinates) from an existing Excel source into an Access database which has input masks of 00°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Latitude) and 000°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Longitude) in the respective fields. However I cannot get the information to import or display correctly. I did an "export data" of the respective table (hence fields) to Excel to try and get the correct entry format. An example of the Lat exported was 24°49'41.81"N and Long was 067°01'44.02"E (but with a very small ' in front but only visible in the data entry line in Excel, not in the actual spreadsheet table???)
However when I try to enter the data (even using the exact same little degree symbol, apostrophe, and quotation marks) it does not enter the access fields correctly. On closer scrutiny of the exported Excel format I note a small ' at the very beginning of the 24°49'41.81"N or 067°01'44.02"E string. But as I said previously only visible in the data entry line next to the formula button. Not on the spreadsheet cell.
However even when I "Paste Special" "values only" my new co-ordinates into the same entry location as one exported, it will still not import, or display correctly. If I go into the Access database directly there is a form where if I need to enter the new co-ordinates (using lat example above) I only have to enter 24 49 41 81 N (spaces between) and it will show correctly as 24°49'41.81"N
I'm getting desparate as I don't want to have to change all the details manually. Anyone know what my correct format from an Excel spreadsheet should be?
Apologies for lengthy story! Difficult to describe problem with degree symbols etc
I am new to MS Access database and I am currently developing a DB with search function in a form for an inventory purpose, I have followed some VB codes from the web.
Here is my issue; when I try to search using the configured combo box in the form it gives me these sets of values, here is the screenie //oi57.tinypic.com/24fxwzk.jpg (just add the http: before the forward slashes as the site wont allow me to post images or links yet)
If Not IsNull(Me.compName2) Then strWhere = strWhere & "([Computer Name] Like ""*" & Me.compName2 & "*"") AND " End If If Not IsNull(Me.cUser2) Then strWhere = strWhere & "([Current User] Like ""*" & Me.cUser2 & "*"") AND "
[Code] ...
I just wanted to eliminate the numbers and replace them with the actual values as name. ex. "-1";"Office 2010" instead of (-1) doing the search, it should be the value "Office 2010"
I work with an Access 2007 database that I split into a front end and back end. The back end holds all of the tables and the front end holds the queries, forms and reports. It is also a multi-user database, in that we have 14 people having access to the same back end. Each of the 14 people have their own front end. I have one main table in the back end listing clients and their individual ID numbers. That table has a One to Many relationship with several other tables, such as Case Notes and Authorizations, to name a couple.
Here's one of my problems: Sometimes data that is entered by a user will disappear.
Example 1: User creates a new record in the Authorizations form. Sometimes it is created by duplicating an existing record, sometimes it is completely new. User then prints a report from that new record, which looks like it has been saved. A couple minutes later, or a couple hours later, or maybe even the next day, user goes back into the database and cannot find the record that was previously created. At that time I look in the back end and cannot find the record either.
Example 2: User creates a new record in the Case Notes form on Day 1. These are always completely new records. User returns to the database on Day 2 and the new record sometimes does not show up in the form or in the back end table.
I cannot MAKE these things happen and they are sporadic, which makes it hard to diagnose, but why this was happening or if there was a way to retrieve the lost data.
I am getting "Truncation Error" while importing data from Excel to access 2007. I have tried changing the format to short text but the result is the same.
I have recently been modifying an existing Access 2007 database, everything seems to be working correctly, except that the main table holding most of the data is acting strangely.
If opened in database view, it is completely blank - no column headers, no data. Record count is correct and I can step through/select records, but there's just nothing visible at all.
The data clearly still exists as it can still be viewed in forms / queries / reports.
Only thing I can think of is that I have deleted a bunch of outdated queries & reports and it's possible that one or more of them may be cross-referenced with the table in another query, but still can't see why that should be causing this problem.
On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce 2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format. 3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ... 4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help: "ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
i have a database in access 2003 when i open it with access 2003 it shows data in table but when i open same table in access 2007 it shows only header rows , no data
how can i see this data into access 2007 or excel 2007.i want to link these table data with excel 2007 or access 2007 but with above problem i can't do it
I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features. Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing! Help! I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?
I have 2 tables both which I need to import data into. I have 2 xls spreadsheets per day and I need to import all the data and build it up over a period of time so that I can use the database to analyse the data. There are around 2000 records per file but I can't seem to import the data unless I select the option to create a new table each time or unless I copy and paste the data. I need to be able to timport one after the other into the same table but I keep getting an error message just saying an error occurred file not imported.

Hi Im having a real problem. Im trying to import a query into Excel so a fancy graph can be made. In Excel when I go to Data-> Import External Data then connect to my Database. A list of queries and tables appear however the query I want is not in the list but it definately exists in Access why is this?? Really Frustrating
I have a fairly complex database that will have many users. I am looking for a way to sort of link the data in a text box to an external database or text file of some sort to know who created a new record in it.
For example:
The database is on a network drive. Each person who will have access to it has a small file in their C: drive that contains their name. Whenever a new record is created, the name on that file is added to the record to know who is it that added it.
Hi experts. I want to learn how i can insert data in to external db using vba. For example , i want insert table names in to the external db. (A command button in a form )I be happy if some one show me how. Thanks

I just to know what the command or code is to generate the External data wizard is ? I want to import a spreadsheet, the thing this there will be a new spreadsheet everyday with a different name. I guess the easiest way is for the user to select the file themselves. instead of the user going to file, get external data, i thought i could add the code to invoke this wizard on a button.
We have saved image in the database as OLE Object. It is showing “Microsoft Photo Editor 3.0 Photo / Package” in the table. We want to save these pictures as external file in Jpeg format. Please help us to solve this problem.
