Editing Data In A Linked Excel Sheet
Mar 28, 2008
Hi all. I have an excel spreadsheet that pulls company information off of our internal system that is linked to an access database table (let's call it "General"). The General information is current and is updated within our internal system (but through the Access side will not need to be updated), however, I have a separate table (let's call it "Detail") that has information (employment, revenue numbers) that I want users to input through access. The two tables are joined through a relationship, however, b/c General is a linked table I am a) unable to assign a primary key and b) unable to edit the Detail information in a form view. I know this is related to Microsoft's limitation on excel linked table, but I was wondering if there is a way around it besides copying the General data into an access table. Would be grateful for any help!

I have a excel table (lets say the format is as follows)
col1 col2
dataset1 value1
dataset2 value2
(where col1 and col2 are the column names and dataset x and value x are the respective data values of each column) I have a access form and it has a combo box and a text box From Combo box I need to retrieve data available in col1 o excel once a particular dataset in col1 has been selected by Combo box the respective value in col2 should be displayed in text box in access form.
I was trying to create a linked table in excel to access ( I don't want to export data from excell to access since my excell sheet is getting changing time to time. so i don't need to change the access table every time)
for combo box a simple query like below works to select the col1 values from sheet 1
select col1 from Sheet1 (where Sheet1 is the linked table name in access)
I wrote a code similar to below using DLookup to get respective values from col2 however it gives a error '#Name?
=DLookup(col2,Sheet1,col1=[Forms]![FormName]![ComboBox Name])
(here sheet 1 is the linked table name in access, I didnt give the absolute path of the excell file)
this returns the above #Name?

I have 2 table currently linked together using a one to many relation. Rather than manually updating the information each day in table 2, i want the same format of data but using a linked excel sheet. This way the information can just be updated elsewhere by the excel sheet. I can't seem to get the sheet to link in the one to many way though, just intermediate. Is this possible?
Thanks.

I have a database that links to an excel sheet and take data from it. For a fail safe i put deletes in several places in case of user error to make sure the sheet is deleted. If it is already deleted the other deletes don't act well.
I need to write a conditional iff statement that if it doesn't exist it ignores the delete call. Not sure how to structure it.
Private Sub Command3_Click()
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Sheet1"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "District Select Form"
End Sub

Hello,
I am a relative newby to Access, Can someone please offer a solution to my problem.
I have a DB which lists current order references, I also have a linked spreadsheet from a customer which references their Ref number to our S/order no & Item no.
I have set up the relationships for the common data between both tables.
if I create a Query from either table individually the data can be edited but when a query is created from both sources the data cannot be edited.
this also happens if the spreadsheet is imported to its own DB.
I would really like to create a form which displays both sets of data for editing, marking progress etc.
Can data from linked tables be edited in a form ?
Regards
Andy

how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acLink, , "region", "F:DB PracticeBook1.xlsx", False, "region"
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.

I have oracle ODBC Dirver which easily connect and fetch data to a new excel sheet according to the query.
But I want to fetch data to a access table from a remote server database which will automatically update the data, through the query saved.
Excel is working good with automatic update option but can't fetch data to access table.

I am writing the following code that will first of all display column headers dynamically using "Headers" field data from Access table and then find out the sum(volume) using column header and first column values. The following code works fine to display headers dynamically in Excelsheet from Access table but doesn't display sum(volume) in all the corresponding cells. As I can't attach the Access table so I have stored data from Access table to sheet named "Access Data" as attached. The sheet2 named "Report" should populate total volume .
Code:
Public Function Inputdata()
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim r As Long
Dim i As Integer
[code]...

I am trying to connect to excel from Access database. Once I make the connection I want to delete data from a range on a specific sheet. There are 4 columns on the spreadsheet but i wouldn't know how many rows. So for example, A150... but I may not know what the last row is. How would I be able to delete data from a range of columns to the last row?

I have an access table and I want the code that will check two columns in the table "EnvelopeType" and "EnvelopeSize" and create headers in Excelsheet automatically. In the attached workbook, like in sheet1 the headers are already appeared, I want this to be done dynamically using vba code so that if new values get inserted in EnvelopeType and EnvelopeSize then we won't have to change the code to display more headers.
Please see attached workbook named Sample and Access table. E.g.
EnvelopeType EnvelopeSize
TNT 2nd Class C5
PP1 2nd Class C5
PPI 1st Class A4
Recorded A4
TNT 2nd Class C5
PP1 2nd Class C5
Recorded A4
PPI 1st Class A4
Recorded C5
With the code it should display following headers in excel sheet:
TNT 2nd Class C5
PP1 2nd Class C5
PPI 1st Class A4
Recorded A4
Recorded C5

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am having the problem of importing a database from Excel/Msaccess 2000 to a Msaccess 2000 database from which the data was originally exported. The Database consists of two tables connected in a querry and the two tables has a unique primary key thru which the two tables are linked using a querry. While importing only two tables are listed in the importing wizard and not the querry.
So how to import the data to the two tables connected by a querry using a primary unique key.
help me the procedure.
lrnathan
thanks in advance

I'm using MS access and Excel 2000. I have an Excel spreadsheet that contained 8 columns, the first column has all cell format as Number, the rest of the column is set as custom date format of 'dd/mm/yyyy'. When I create a linked table in MS Access, the data types does not matched my excel spreadsheet columns, the 'Number' data type is a double and I want a Long Integer in Access, and the custom date format become text datatype but I wanted a DateTime datatype. Is there any work around this? Seems like it is a common problem.
Your prompt response is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I have an Excel sheet that I'd like to bring into an Access Form -- populate the Excel cells with data from textboxes on the Access Form and print it. I tried copy/pasting various things in, but it's pasting even text from a cell as an Excel object (let alone joined cells and images). Where can I find more information about this?
I found http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=210288
But, when I put that code into the form for saving text from a text box to an Excel cell, it tells me that the word "Set" is a "Compile error: Invalid outside procedure."
Also, how do I refer to a joined cell? I've found that I can copy from a joined cell, paste into a host cell and select "Paste Link". This puts an absolute reference to the joined cell in the host cell (=$A$7, for instance) and when I change the joined cell the host cell is changed. Pasting =$A$7 seems to merely put the face value of "=$A$7 into the host cell.

find a way to automatically copy data from an access query to a sheet in excel at the end of every month we record financial data from our database into an excel sheet for our accountants. im still designing the query to format the data exactly the way we need it, which is why im not too clear on all the details (have a meeting with the accountants on wednesday to confirm everything, but im hoping to get most of the function written by then at least)
Ive already got the pathfilename and worksheet name stored in variables (excelFile and workSheet respectively) and ive worked out a way to store the row number (in a variable called simply rowNum), i just need to add one record to that specific row, from columns B to I) and for now lets just assume the query would be qryFinancialData. simple way to export the data, ill be formatting the query so that the first field in the query will go into column B, second field will be C, third field will be D, etc.is there a quick way to open the file, add the data to the right columns/row and close/save the excel file, all through VBA?

I have written a piece of code in Access that creates a Excel work book. The work book is populated with the various data and then made visible to the user.
Everything is working perfectly apart from one minor problem.
When creating a new workbook excel automatically puts 3 worksheets in... If the code creates 1 or 2 sheets of data I want it too delete the sheet that is blank. This is easy to do although it always prompts the user for confirmation.
How do I delete a worksheet without the prompt?
I have hunted everywhere for the answer and can't find it anywhere, any help would be great.
Example of code:
Dim XL As Excel.Application
Dim WkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim WkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set XL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set WkBook = XL.Workbooks.Add
Set WkSheet = WkBook.Worksheets(1)
WkSheet.Delete

I have the following code which returns me the number of rows in an excel sheet:-
Lastrows = .Worksheets(1).Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchDirection:=2, SearchOrder:=1).Row
How do I mod the code to find the last 'used' row in the sheet?
The sheet is automatically generated daily, so I can't change anything in that area. It's always 2000 rows long and usually only has around 1100-1200 rows of data.
It's just that I do a for loop later on in my code for 1 to Lastrows and would like it as exact as I can.

So I have 5 querys exported to an excel file (C:/File.xlsx) using transferspreadsheet.The sheet names are named the same as the query names.Is it possible to change the sheet names (in the file C:File.xlsx) to what I want them to be named in access vba? Either after I export, or possibly change the query name before it is exported (all done in vba).Like a line I would add after transferspreadsheet like oldsheetname.name = newsheetname.Also need to find out how to change field names in the excel file to what I want in vba.
