EXPORT TO TEXTFILE (to Specific Positions)
Nov 20, 2007
Beloved Access gurus,
I am wondering if it's possible to export specific columns into certain positions in the textfile? I haven't seen this done with Access before so i dont know. I have an access table that i would like exported periodically into a textfile (meaning, i have to do this with vba).
For example - loop through table, exporting into textfile:
column 1 ---> start on 1st line Position 20 in the text file (after 19 spaces)
column 2 ---> beginning of next line.
column 3 ---> back to previous line, position 40.
Is this possible? If so, any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a report that i send with a e-mail (via a macro), the exported values of the report are send as a .txt-file.
Now something strange happens, between every 4 or 5 lines of text there is a blanc rule, this i want to get rit of!
So the textfile looks like:
qsdf
sdfg
dsfg
xcvb
xcvb
rty
rtye
ezrz
zerz
etc. etc.
When i send the report as a .rtf-file there are no blanc rules inbetween, so the problem lies not in the report itself i think.
But it needs to be send as a .txt file and not as a .rtf file, so if anyone knows the reason (or solution) i would be very happy!
Thanks already and kind regards,
fvd

Hi All,
I have this line of code:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "Dhcp Specification", "tblDHCP", "U:" & [Forms]![frmExportDHCP]![cmbServer] & ".txt", False, "", 850
Where the section highlighted is a combo box on a form. I was trying to use the value in this combo box to describe the filename of the text file I was exporting to. However I get the error:
The Microsoft Jet Databse Engine could not fond the object 'X#txt'. Make sure the object exists and the you spell it name and path name coreectly.
Where X is the string stored in the combo box.
Any ideas where I have gone wrong/what could be improved?
Cheers,
Matt

I need to display the year, Date, agent name, amount field, note and sub total for each year.I need to write the SQL query code in VBA and i designed the report with proper field positions.
YEAR column: Display Value only once for the FIRST ROW for Maximum value of Date field value for each set of YEAR. If it has only one record, it display that year.SUB TOTAL Column: Display Total Value for Amount field only once for the LAST ROW of each set of year record (Mininum value of year). How to make it available the values for first and last record alone ?
I just wrote my SQL code based on your inputs in my editor..Based on the input from Plog (from this forum), i wrote a code which listed below.
Code:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.RecordSource = "SELECT CessioneCredito.Anno, CessioneCredito.Data_Movimento, CessioneCredito.Note_Liq_Cessione_Credito, CessioneCredito.Importo, " & _
" Agenzie.Denominazione, DCount("[Anno]","CessioneCredito","[Anno]=" & [Anno]) AS GroupSize,
[Code] ....
While saving it, it shows the code in RED COLOR due to compilation error.As I am writing the query in Me.Recordsource = "SQL query", where i should place the below listed code in the query as per Plog???
Change the Year Control Source to this:
=IIf([GroupPos]=1,[Year])
Change the GroupTotal Control Source to this:
=IIf([GroupPos]=[GroupSize],[GroupTotal])
If this is not possible in Me.recordsource, then its advisable to use recordset like writing in two different queries.
Code:
Dim ds1 As Recordset
Dim ds2 As Recordset
myquery1 = "SELECT CessioneCredito.ID_Agente, CessioneCredito.Data_Movimento, CessioneCredito.Importo, CessioneCredito.Anno, CessioneCredito.Note_Liq_Cessione_Credito, Agenzie.Denominazione
FROM CessioneCredito INNER JOIN Agenzie ON CessioneCredito.ID_Agente=Agenzie.ID_agenzia
WHERE (((CessioneCredito.ID_Agente)=[Reports]![R_StoricoCessCredAg]![ID_Agente]))"
[code]....

Im trying to export a query to specific columns in excel and im using this code.
Code:
Dim objXL As Object
Dim xlWB As Object
Dim xlWS As Object
[Code].....
I tried it on other querys and it works but doesn't work on this specific one. I get an error on the "set rst = currentDb" line. And to my knowledge it doesn't work because I have a between two dates filter in it. So when I run it, I get an error saying I have too few parameters, expecting 2.
Also it seems to be exporting the lookup id's not the value when exporting(on the query that it did work on)

I have a form with a list of names. When a specific name is selected from the list, a button is clicked and a query is run with the specific name as the criteria/filter.
I've written code to export these same query results to an Excel sheet, and I want the Excel file name saved with the name selected in the form.
Below is the code that I've written that doesn't work.
Code:
Dim strFileName As String
strFileName = SelectedItems(Me.lstName)
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "qryFocal_Sheet", acFormatXLS, "C:JRSWorkEquityFY2015" & strFileName & ".xls"

I am trying to create a button on an access form that will prompt the user to enter a search month and then export to excel all records in that database that match that month.
So, if the user prompt "what month" is October, then THE 30 records in the field [receivedate] that are in october (10/XX/XXXX) are exported to excel.

I have successfully put together some VBA code that will accept a user's input into a textbox on a form. A cmdFindprinter button is clicked and the query is ran. The user is asked via an inputbox for their login ID so that the query is exported to a text file on the desktop. The query then pops up in a new tab and also automatically exports the queried record to a text file on the desktop. I have upward of 30 users using this form at any given time and I need the following automated.
What I would like to do is to have the text file go into a specific format. For example:
IP address:
Serial number:
Location:
The name of one of the queries is "Xerox IP Query", the field names would be "IP Address", "SerialNumber", and "Site Name".
This is what comes up in the text file right now:
"CXF345946","157.229.243.58","123 Happy Ave"
I'd like to remove the quotes and have the info fall into place as shown in the example above.
This is the code so far:
Code:
Private Sub cmdFindprinter_Click()
On Error GoTo cmdFindprinter_Click_Err
Dim strPath As String
userNT = InputBox("Please enter your NT ID", "ServiceBase Xerox Printer Query", "Enter your NT ID")
strPath = "C:Users" & userNT & "DesktopPrinterQuery.txt"
If Heading = 0 Then Exit Sub

I want to export a query into a specific worksheet in Excel. Have tried DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, but it appears you can't specify an existing worksheet or cell range with a query. Some have said tables only. I want to assign this export task to a command button.
The variables are:
Query name = TrainingDataQ
Excel workbook path & name = C:UsersmeDesktop2015AccessExportTest.xlsm
Desired Excel worksheet = RawData
I think thats all you will need to know. The data in the query varies but would be no more than about 500 rows.
Also for the next time i want to run the export, some code to open that same excel file and delete the data in the RawData worksheet so that i can export new data from Access?

In VBA I have set a timer on a form to run a query and export to a specific folder as an excel file.
If I open the database as 'File Open' and open the form and let the timer run it exports perfectly.
As soon as I put the database into runtime - the Timer code kicks in and starts running but as soon as it hits the export line. It stops and then does nothing
I have tried several combinations of either:
- docmd.runsavedimportexport "Query"
- docmd.outputTo acquery etc ...

I am in the of designing an access 2010 database for data entry. Is it possible to create a button on a form in which a prompt asks a user for which records to export. Then depending on the entry export specific fields (First Name, Last Name, DOB) to a specific excel 2010 workbook (setup) and worksheet (template)?
For example, if the user entry is 1, only record 1: First Name, Last Name, DOB is exported to the setup.xlsx (more specifically the template worksheet of the setup.xlsx). However if 2,3,4 are entered then records,2,3,4: First Name, Last Name, DOB are exported to the setup.xlsx (more specifically the template worksheet of the setup.xlsx).

I 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.

I have the form (PROJECT DETAILS) that displays a specific record's information, one record at a time.I would like to click a button to export 5 specific fields (name, phone, address) of that form ("Project Details"), based on the PK "AssignNr", and then insert those fields in an already created Excel form that has those fields blank, but other fields filled in.
And then, as part of the same macro, I want to have the Print pop-up come up in the Excel form to select where/how that file will get printed.I've tried exporting from the Project Details form, but it exports all the records. And then I am not sure how / where to code the vlookup formula (if that's even necessary) to take the data from the exported file, into the existing Excel form that needs to be filled in.
Can this even be done in one macro, or do I need to create two - one to export data from Access to Excel. And then another in Excel to vlookup the details from the exported file, into the existing Excel file.
It would be nice if I didn't have to put in what the vlookup criteria is. (i.e. AssignNr (which is the PK)) - if it could just be taken from the PROJECT DETAILS form's current record selection.

how to read a specific line in a CSV file (using VBA), to see if the phrase "There are no records available." is present.
If it is present, then I'm going to do a debug.print stating that there are no records to load - and then the script will move on to the next file. If the phrase isn't present, then I'm going to upload the file to Access, parse the information, and then upload it to a CRM. (I already have the latter portion of the code up and running....I just need to account for the first part, where I can determine if the file has data or not).
The structure of the file never changes. The first row is composed of eight column headers (Post Date, Card Number, Card Type, Auth Date, Batch Date, Reference Number, Reason, Amount) and (if) the phrase "There are no records available." is present, it will show up on the second row, in the first column (under Post Date).

Hi,
I have recently been doing a lot of work on this area. Im able to export to where i want to and run macros through the VBA code inside of Access to edit the spreadsheets. This is ok if your making a new excel workbook/worksheet.
But what im stuck on is exporting to a so called template in excel. I can export to it at the moment but creating a new worksheet, in which i have to then cut and paste the data into the correct worksheets through code and then delete the worksheet that i had been working from (which is annoying because you have to confirm the deletion of this worksheet, which is why i couldnt really do the process this way).
What i want to know is there a specific way of telling the data you are exporting from a table/query/querydef to go into a certain worksheet and into a certain cell. For example; a list of names, i want all the Surnames to go into a worksheet called "Claim_Breakdown" and start from cell "A15" downwards until they have all been exported into the worksheet.
Anyone have any ideas on how i could achieve this? Thanks.

so i have an interesting question and im hoping that someone can help on this one. i need to pull date from a specific table, no problem, that's written and working fine, next i need to be able to join the data from another table by a primary key, again no problem. third, i need to be able to select the date (using WHERE) for a specific date range. (i.e. i enter the date range of 01/7/2007 to 15/7/2007) and the query comes back only showing the data from that specific time, not the data from before or after. this is where my problem lies, all the entered data is being shown after entering my date range. i am going to include my SQL statement, just so you can actually see what im really talking about.
SELECT srealest.Name0, srealest.Dist1, SREpayments.Face2Pd, SREpayments.Penalty2Pd, SREpayments.[2paid], SREpayments.Face3Pd, SREpayments.Penalty3Pd, SREpayments.[3paid], SREpayments.Face4Pd, SREpayments.Penalty4Pd, SREpayments.[4paid], srealest.Map, srealest.Parcel, srealest.LeaseHold, srealest.TaxRebate1, srealest.TaxFace1, srealest.TaxPenalty1, srealest.TaxYear, srealest.BillNo, srealest.PdRebate1, srealest.PdFace1, srealest.PdPenalty1, srealest.DatePd
FROM SREpayments INNER JOIN srealest ON SREpayments.BillNo=srealest.BillNo
WHERE (((SREpayments.[2paid]) Between Forms![SD SRE]![Beginning Date] And Forms![SD SRE]![Ending Date]) Or ((SREpayments.[3paid]) Between Forms![SD SRE]![Beginning Date] And Forms![SD SRE]![Ending Date]) Or ((SREpayments.[4paid]) Between Forms![SD SRE]![Beginning Date] And Forms![SD SRE]![Ending Date])) Or (((srealest.DatePd) Between Forms![SD SRE]![Beginning Date] And Forms![SD SRE]![Ending Date]))
ORDER BY srealest.Name0;
any thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!
