Error Link Between Table And Text File
Feb 14, 2014
I have a small problem with the following command:
Code:
sTabNam = "TmpTab"
sFilNam = "C:Data.Txt"
DoCmd.TransferText TransferType:=acLinkDelim, TableName:=sTmpTab, FileName:=sFilNam, HasFieldNames:=True
The file C:Data.Txt contains 5 columns, separated by a semicolon with the first line containing the names of the columns. The concern is that when the linked table is created, I get a single column with all fields concatenated value. the following style :
Col1;Col2;Col3; : Column name
Val1;Val2;Val3; : Row value
What does do to have columns separated with the corresponding values?

I'm trying to figure out how to link a text file to my database with VBA. I know how to do this for other types of data sources, using the DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink command, but need guidance using this with TXT files.
Thanks,
Randy

I have a database that I plan to use to help us manage an old "Remedy" system....
There is a field for "Ticket number"
I want to be able to click a button and have this ticket open in Remedy.
Remedy DOES have a link system. When I creat a link it creates a file like this:
Ticketnumber.ARTask
The contents of the file are simple:
[Shortcut]
Name = NTRS-Trouble
Type = 0
Server = samson
Join = 0
Ticket = NTRS422904
The name of the file seems to be irrelevent.
How can I programatically get the button to re-write the ticketnumber into that file, in that spot (after the letters "NTRS") and then have it open the link? I figure I can keep 1 file in the working directory and just re-write that same file over and over again... I just don't know enough about VB or macros to figure it out.

I simply want to link a table from one database to another but am getting an Error -1002 with the error description: "'|' is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long."
I have tried just creating a basic table with one field and linking it to another database and still getting the error. It happens when I compact and repair on close.

Up until recently (not exactly sure when) I've been absolutely fine importing text files into Access 97 with the import wizard, where the file extension is .log Now, every time I do it, I get Error 3027 unable to update as database/object is read only.
if I change the filename to .txt it works, but if I leave it as .log I get that error.

I have a table where there is information stored about certain workorders.. like location, description, etc.
The thing is that location is descripted as "03-LZ-.." where the 03 part stands for the departement. I have another table with all the numbers and departements and now I'm looking for a way to link the two. So I have to find a way to look at the first to digits of the "location" in my workorder table and link that number with the table where numbers and departements are stored.

I have some vba where I'm importing a text file and splitting it out into a table. For the most part its working just fine.
But I have a line of data that I need to pull out the string right after "Old" - Murphy and right after "New" ZMurphy
Acc# : 111111 This is test data, Person : 22222 Old Murphy New ZMurphy
I'm thinking Instr() could do this but I'm unable to get it to work.
I am using Access 2010...

I have a link table that has a field that represents dates - but they are actually just text. It's a long story but the source is not going to change - so I have to try and deal with it. I need it to behave as a date - and am hoping to do this in a query. The data looks like this:
7/24/12
10/08/13
I have tried various things but it does not seem to totally do the trick - if I sort on it it still does not sort as one would expect from an actual date field. How do I do this?

It is my understanding that a custom macro was built to pull text data from a file and import it into Access in the appropriate fields. This macro no longer works and will return the following error message:
"License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in design mode."
It only gives an option to click OK. When you do it shows a box called "Action Failed" that lists the macro name, condition, action name, and arguments with three button to click on the right of the box: "Step" "Halt" and "Continue". It appears that only the "Halt" button is available to be clicked.
Does this sound like an issue with the Access license or whatever license the macro might have? We're trying to decide if it's possible to restore the functionality of the macro.

I am importing csv files into tables in a batch routine and I get the following error messages. The error number is always 2391.
Field 'F1' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
Field 'F4' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
Field 'F36' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
I understand the first one and can find references to this on the web but the F4 and F36 escape me.
All fields required do actually exist in the table so the real problem is elsewhere.
P.S. I now think that it may be that there are embedded commas in one or more of the text fields and that the number following the 'F' indicates the position of the field in the table. I will check in the morning or create the csv files using commas and quotes.

I'm trying to link a table to a massive 3GB text file so that I can generate a report. The text file is an exported Access query, so I can analyze the data in query form, BUT I'd like to analyze as a text file to confirm that nothing is altered during the export process. (e.g. Sometimes rounding errors can alter data, etc.)
Unfortunately, I'm getting an error saying that the text file is too big.

Hi, I'm trying to import a text file (just for a test at the moment) with the fields seperated by |'s.
The table I'm trying to import to has the fields -
ID, First Name, Last Name, Gender.
The ID is an autonumber though so what can I put there in the text file because I'm getting an error? :confused:

Hi,
I am trying to email a table in text format using :
DoCmd.SendObject acSendTable, "Table", acFormatTXT, , , , "Results", "Attached are the reslts"
It sends the file in text file format, but it adds "-" & "|" characters all over the file. Is there a way that I can send the file in simple "Comma Separated" file format.
Thx,
Jatz

Hello - I want to import a text file into a table in a database. The text file looks like this:
00001 06006025 1420 0010 Health Insurance 7
00001 06006025 1425 0010 Life Insurance 7
00001 06006025 1430 0010 Disability 7
00001 06006025 1440 0010 Profit Sharing 7
There is no consistent delimiter. The text field is making things complicated because there is no accurate way to separate the text field from the last number in each line ('7') which needs to be stored in a different column.
Is there a way to insert quotations arond the text string so the quotation mark can be used to distinguish it when importing into excel or a database table. This may work because the starting position of the text string is constant. The ending position would have to be defined as the place where the number appears ('7' in this case). Then, quotations need to be placed around the text string.
Is this possible? Any advice will help tons!!!

Hi,
I have a text file with comma separated values. What I want is a single access query to import this text file into an access table. I know this can be done through import text wizard in access - but what I need is a single query.
I have done the same thing for transferring oracle data to an access table - but for text file to access, I am getting -7778 error.
This is the query I have written
SELECT * into MY_ACCESS_TBL from [odbc;Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};Dbq=MY_TEXT_FILE_PATH;].[MY_TEXT_FILE.txt];
Please help!!
Regards,
Suneesh

When exporting a table from Access as a text file, it keeps adding .00 to the end of the number format records that I am tying to export.
Why it is doing that and what I need to do to prevent that from happening?

I have a table. Also i have a text file which some of the fields are matching with my table fields ( lets say field A and B ). Now, i need to do compare of these A & B of my table against A & B of the text file and give a result as follows;
1. "Field A" not in the table but in the text file (un-matching data to be shown )
2. "Field A" not in the text file but in the table (un-matching data to be shown )
3. "field B" mismatches

I'm trying to import a pipe delimited text file into a table. I can import the entire table using the following code, but I only get one column of data (the entire data set in one column). If possible I would like to import with the columns defined or if not possible use some code for a function similar to text to columns.
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "tblTest", "C:Work2015PPVMasterData.txt"
