Error When Using Access To Edit Excel Data
Jun 21, 2005
Hi all
I am putting together a quick and dirty db to hold just a few thousand bits of data for some tests I’m about to start.
For various reasons it is better to hold some of these in Excel, and to link Access to Excel.
The problem I have is that when I use Access to edit a “record” in Excel, it will work for the first one or two records, but then Access crashes and I get the very familiar “Sorry for the inconvenience, please send this error file to uSoft blah blah blah” (which I always do, but wonder if anyone ever takes any notice of them!).
The problem occurs whether the spreadsheet is open in the background, or is just sitting closed in its directory with Excel not running.
At the moment, I only have a tiny amount of data as I’m still putting it together, so it’s not a “size” issue; I first noticed the problem with only about ten records!
I expect I’ll move everything to Access (not ideal but hopefully it wont crash quite so often), but I’m curious to know if any of you have actually made a successful link between Access and Excel (and used it for editing data, not just looking, which is fine).
My system: Office 2003 pro/developer, Win XP pro.
Thanks for any thoughts

I've vba in Report onformat the vba code does some data copying to External Excel file (premade by vba).Now on first run, i got success.But on opening the excel file, it showed blank space + Error"File already opened"
No White Spreadsheet is shown with data to see into file, i created new excel file in windows, and inserted the vba created/exported file as an Obj.Now Obj is showing correct and full data with spreadsheet as normal view.

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 recently updated my version of Access 2003 with the latest patches. I have a linked excel spreadsheet that I update using a query. The linked spreadsheet no longer allows editing since the update. Anyone encounter this problem - know of a work around?
Thanks

I am trying to export from Access to Excel. I am relatively new to this process. I am receiving an error that I am not using a valid path. I have tried to recreate the former path without any luck.
What I had done was to delete some old information that was making the former Excel sheet too large and create a more up to date database. I had to reformat the spreadsheet and export the new information to excel but when I pull it in it will not pull into the shared network drive without giving me the error message.

When I am working in the tutorial which is shown in the below link:
[URL]
when I copy from Clarksville.xlsx the employees names and try to paste into a new Access database*. It says:
Text is Too Long to be Edited
I am unsure what to do next to deal with this error. The internet says to increase the size of the cell where the text is being pasted. I am not sure how to do that.

I'm trying to export queries from access to excel using the DoCmd option. The code (see below) works to a point - it exports some of the queries before I get a run time error:
"31532: Microsoft Access was unable to export the data".
The worksheet tabs also do not pick up the query name but instead return what looks like a temporary ID (e.g. ~TMPCLP118431). Have tried different file locations and versions of excel but the same thing keeps happening.
Code:
Sub ExportAllQueries()
Dim qdf As QueryDef
Dim db As Database
[Code]....

So I have a macro in excel which imports data from the excel sheet to a table in access db. Now the excel file has 4 columns which have dates.
- I imported the excel file from access via access so that I can get the heading of the table and the table is created. Then I deleted all the data in the table.
- When the table was imported 2 of the date columns got set as Short/text data type. Dont know why.
- Now, if I leave the data type as it is in Access table, my macro button in EXCEL works fine and imports the data to Access. If I change the data type, in access design, of the two data columns to date type, I get the type mismatch error when I run the import macro button in EXCEL. I am going nuts over this error. I even created a blank table in access and defined data types to all columns which would be imported from excel. but still excel macro button shows the same error.
I checked the format of all the four date columns is date.
I did a lot of hit and try and could it be the case that if access table fields are defined properly, but any of the data columns cells in excel sheet is null/empty, it will show the type mismatch error.
is it possible and is there a way, that once the data is imported to access, I can convert the value in the column from short text to date type.

I am pushing some data to Excel from an Access query. When the data is in Excel I reformat the sheet by changing the fonts, applying borders and cell formats - I have got all of this to work fine.
The one thing I am struggling with is applying conditional formats. I am pretty sure it is something to do with incorrectly referencing the applcation/sheet. An extract of what i think to be the key parts of the code are below.
....
Dim ApXL As Object
Dim xlWBk As Object
Dim xlWSh As Object
...
Set ApXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlWBk = ApXL.Workbooks.Add
ApXL.Visible = True
[Code] ....

I'm using Access 2010 and I want to export a query to Excel by clicking a button. Every time I click on it Excel opens but doesn't open my worksheet, it's just gray like you just open the program without a table. After exiting it Access tells me I got a run time error 1004: the open-method of the workbook object couldn't be executed. After opening my Excel file it says that Excel found unreadable content and asks if I want to restore the content of the workbook.
Here is my code:
Code:
Private Sub Befehl62_Click()
Dim cdb As DAO.Database, qdf As DAO.QueryDef, SheetName As String, xlApp As Object
Set cdb = CurrentDb
Forms!Export_to_Excel!txtSheetName.SetFocus
SheetName = Me!txtSheetName.Text
[code]....
where my problem is?

why the first code is working and after adding a few lines it gives me a syntax error. It highlights the AS ETI. I usually work on the query grid, but I read somewhere there is a limit to the length of expression. So I ended up editing the expression in SQL view, but somehow doesn't work.Working before editing:
Code:
SELECT [Salaries YTD].[Emp#], [ETI Filter].ETI1, Sum([Salaries YTD].DaysWorked) AS SumOfDaysWorked, IIf([SumOfGross] Between 0 And 2000 And [ETI1]=1000,[SumOfGross]*([DaysWorked]/(DateDiff("ww",[Forms]![PeriodSelector]![FromDate],[Forms]![PeriodSelector]![ToDate],6)*5)*0.5),IIf([SumOfGross] Between 2001 And 4000 And [ETI1]=1000,1000,IIf([SumOfGross] Between 4001 And 6000 And [ETI1]=1000,1000-(0.5*([SumOfGross]-4000))))) AS ETI, DateDiff("ww",[Forms]![PeriodSelector]![FromDate],[Forms]![PeriodSelector]![ToDate],6) AS Weeks, Sum([Salaries YTD].Gross) AS SumOfGross1

I have a database that works as a sales system. From a table in the database I run a query that calculates the totals for that day.
i.e.
Date……….Dept 1…..Dep2
07/11/05…...£10………£10
What I need is:
1.You click a button
2.It copies the date and finds it in the excel spreadsheet as the sheet will already have a field called date.
3.It will then copy the Dept 1 figure and Dept 2 figure into the spreadsheet where the date matches (in a certain column)
Can this be done?
Kindest Regards

Hi I was wondering if there is a way to import the data stored as a excel file to ms access table. For ex:
I have a spreadsheet that has three columns:
Country city population
Each country would have multiple cities.
My Access table "cities: has a similar structure like this. Is there a procedure I can write to copy the data into the Access table from the spreadsheet without having to do it manually?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I am using Access 97 & Excel 97 for this problem. I have a Access query which takes the contents of three tables and exports them to Excel. However, the query has now reach 69000+ records and increases by about 1000+ records ever month. So what I need to do is create as many WORKSHEETS within a single Excel WORKBOOK as necessary to accomodate all of my Access data. I have written a piece of code which will create seperate WORKBOOKS for each 65000+ of records but then what I want to do is code the almagamation of these WORKBOOKS into 1.
In short, after the first WORKBOOK is created I use code to make that the active WORKBOOK and then I want to import into that the other WORKSHEETS in the other WORKBOOKS.
I am using the folowing DIM's:
Dim X As New Excel.Application
Dim WkBook As Excel.WorkBook
Dim WkSheet As Integer
Dim ExcelSheet As Excel.Worksheet
ExcelSheet therefore is the current WORKSHEET within the Excel spreadsheet I want to import into.
Any advice on the command to perform a transfer of WORKSHEET data between Excel WORKBOOKS?
Regards,
DALIEN51

Access2000 converts data to Excel2000 in the following way: I have specified a column data type as long integer with no "null" decimal place - whenever I analyse the table with Excel the mentioned column suddenly has 2 decimal places??????????
On the other hand when I convert data WITH 2 decimal places from Access to Excel those are displayed as "zero" (e.g. 9,15 --> 9,00) ?!?!
Thanks for any advise!

Hi all,
I have an access mdb file and just added a new field to one of the tables.
I also have several spreadsheets with bits of information that I would like to use to update the newly created field for each record.
Not sure what is the best way to approach this. Can I use a query that will look into the spreadsheet and copy the specified cell to the newly created field using an if statement? or
Do I need to get all data into a table and upload as a new table in Access then use query to update the records?
Please keep in mind that I do not wish to append new records, I need to update existing ones.
The above represents my thoughts on how to approach this task, I would appreciate any help.
I must also state that I am totally new to access and would appreciate as much detail as is possible in the response(s).
Thanks,
Wingale

Hi
I've had a search through but to no avail.
I'm trying to import data from an Access query into a blank spreadsheet (Data-Import External Data etc), but it's only giving me a list of the tables in the database and not listing any of the queries. I've never had any problem with this before - I've been able to import queries fine - so I hope someone knows what's going on.
Access and Excel 2002 by the way.

Whats up everyone I am a fairly new user to access and I am trying to develop a database to hold quarterly data from multiple companies. What is the best approach getting the information off the companies data entry form into the database. The data entry form does change over time so I cannot reference specific cells. Can you use lookup tables in Access? Any help would be great.
Thank you all.

In Excel I have a sheet with about 3000 rows. Each row has an id. I need to retrieve a field from an Access database for each id in the Excel file.
I know how to query the Access database from Excel, but I don't know how to set the query to use the id's in the Excel sheet instead of an Access table.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
I am in the process of converting data from an excel sheet into Access 2000. I know the import procedure, however some of the fields in the Excel sheet have multiple data.
Is there a way to sort out this problem, short of cutting and pasting or re-entering the data? For example one field has the following: Mon, Jan 10,2006, 9AM to 11AM. I want to eliminate this field and create a field each for the day, date, start time and end time.
Thank you
