Excel Sheets As Linked Tables Open In Exclusive Mode

Apr 10, 2008

I have a simple Access database with a number of linked tables to Excel spreadsheets located in the same directory.

When I open the Access database from two networked machines, I get an error on the second machine when I try to open a form that uses the linked tables. It says that the linked table has been opend in Exclusive mode.

Any idea how I can prevent Access from opening the linked tables in exclusive mode?

thanks

Database Opens In Exclusive Mode Over LAN

Nov 14, 2005

I have a database which seems to open many copies when it is accessed over the internet (via ASP) but If I open it on my compter over my LAN then it seems to open 'exclusive' and those on the Internet get the error message that 'file is already in use'.
Is there a way of opening the database over the LAN and allowing the Internet to see it?

Security / Exclusive Mode/ Compact And Repair

Jun 16, 2006

Hi all :)

I'm planning to use the "compact on exit" functionality to keep my db's neat. I have understood that I also have to grant "Exclusive mode" to the database object to the users of my db (not to Users group, but my own users group). Does this have a security implication?

As I'm running a FE/BE solution, does the compact and repair only do my FE or both. If only the FE, is there a good way of triggering the BE to be C&R as well?

(should apply to 2K, XP and 2003)

Thanks

Tables :: Unable To Create A Database By Compiling Records From Multiple Excel Sheets

May 22, 2013

I am trying to create a database by compiling records from multiple excel sheets. however, since most of the clients still uses the excel sheets to enter records, I am thinking if it's possible to create a linked table in access from these excel sheets that are hosted on an online server.

also is it possible to merge multiple linked tables together? if they have the same field range, so they will append when the linked tables gets updated.

Import Excel Data From Multiple Sheets Into Multiple Tables In Access

Aug 25, 2012

I would like to know which way is the best way to import excel data from multiple sheets in to multiple tables in access.

For example data from Sheet1 -> Table1, Sheet2->Table2, Sheet3->Table3 etc...

I have tried using this:
Cmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel5, "Table1", "C:Importedfile.xlsx", True, "Sheet1!"

Ironically, data from Sheet2 and Sheet3 seem to be properly imported in to table2 and table3, but some of the data from Sheet1 seems to be missing in Table1 after import.

Any other ways to import the data?

Open Exclusive Problem

Feb 24, 2008

Folks,I've got one file that I would like to make a copy of in a different format (.mdb to .accdb).Everytime I try the "Save As" within a different file type, I think Access treats the new file like it's being opened. Because of this, I am getting this error:Cannot save the database because it has been opened exclusively by 'Admin' on "my machine"I've checked both previous versions of the file (2000 & 2003), and both of them have a default open mode of "shared". I am trying to save it as a .accdb file from either the 2000 or 2003 version. Both files throw the error.What could be going on here?

Access Security Open Exclusive

Jan 24, 2007

I was just wondering if anyone can explain to me the difference between setting the database to open in shared mode in the Tools-->Options menu vs. checking or unchecking the Open Exclusive box under the user security section? Is it just two different ways to do the same thing or are there different implications for using one over the other?

Excel Linked Tables

Jan 30, 2006

When I go into design view of an Excel linked table, it tells me that I can't change some properties. When I change the format of a field from Text to Number (and from Long Integer to Integer), a dialog box informs me that the property won't be changed but saves the changes anyway?

Create Excel Sheets

Feb 13, 2007

Ok..

I firstly just need to know if this is possible.. and if so.. if anyone has any example programs on how this can be done.

I have to create a large number of excel sheets with data from tables.

I need to have formatting (Image at the top, certain lines have to be highlighted.. etc).

Can Access export into excel with formatting? Or can I do it through VBA?

I need to have a lot of workbooks, most of them need multiple sheets.

I've never really had to work with access and excel in this way. Usually I have excel read an Access database, or have Access link/import an excel sheet.

I've never had to generate many sheets like this before.

Anyways, thanks for the help.

Tables :: Update Cell In Linked Excel Spreadsheet?

Jan 22, 2015

I have an access database with a linked table to an Excel spreadsheet. I have a form based on the linked table so the presentation of the Excel date is better. The spreadsheet is used by other staff in my office to record sales which I need to register with an external organisation. What I want to do is update the spreadsheet with the registration date from my access form rather than going back into excel to do it.

Import Multiple Excel Sheets To Access DB

Oct 18, 2006

I've been trying to load data from multiple excel worksheets in multiple workbooks into one table in Access. The first one loads fine, but after that I get errors and can't load anything else. All of the sheets are in the same format, so that shouldn't be the problem. Every solution I've tried has been a bust. All I want is to take all of my data and put it into one big database. Any suggestions?

Is it possible?

Combine Multiple Excel Sheets In Access

Sep 4, 2011

I have two reports that I import into Excel.They both show the locations in the warehouse where our product is supposed to be located. Over years of lack of maintenance they no longer match.What I would like to do is link these two sheets in Access so that the information can be updated as I progress and correct the information.Both have a common row or field called Locations. The problem is that some of the locations doesn't exist in both of the sheets. One of the sheets also has duplicated records for the same location.

I assume that I need some type of query to accomplish this; I have copied and pasted some samples of the information in the spreadsheets as well as the results that I am looking for.

Appending Excel Sheets Into Access Table

Aug 17, 2015

I'm having trouble appending an excel sheet into my access table.

I have 8 columns in my excel sheet:

1- full_name (short text)
2- alias (short text)
3- email_address (short text)
4- user_ID (short text)
5- Location (which is annotated using numbers 1,2,3,4 etc.) (number)
6- active (yes/no)
7- TRI (yes/no)
8- Another user ID (Short text form)

I am trying to append this data to an existing table in excel with the EXACT same column names.

I can append each column from my excel sheet separately and they will appear on the access table, but once I try to append all of the columns at the same time, so the records are not placed in different rows, I get a message saying "Script out of Range"

I cannot seem to figure it out since they can be uploaded individually.

Just to clarify, the excel columns are formatted to the access columns.

Importing Of Data From Excel/Access To Two Tables Linked By A Querry

Jun 28, 2006

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.

thanks in advance

Tables :: Numbers / Text And Null All In One Field Linked From Excel

Jan 11, 2013

I know you can't store text in a numeric field but I always thought you could store numbers in a text field - provided you didn't need to do any calculations on them. My problem is as follows:

I receive an Excel 2003 spreadsheet once a month, which I save to a specific filename/location overwriting the previous file. My Access 2003 database uses this as a linked table and (among other things) runs an append query to add the new data onto an existing table.

We have now added a new column called Reference in the spreadsheet. Often, this will be empty, but it could contain numbers or text. This is the first month I have received it and most entries are blank (including the first row) but further down there are some numeric values.

So I added a new Reference field to my main table and set it to text. Then I amended the append query to include the new field. But when I run it I get the error "Numeric field overflow". If I take that column back out of the query, it runs fine, so that's definitely the offending data. And when I open the linked table in Excel and scroll down to where I should see the reference numbers, I see #Num! So it looks to me like it doesn't recognise numbers as text.

Things I've already tried

In Excel, I formatted all the Reference cells as text.

That didn't work, so next I added a dummy record at the top of the Excel file (just under the headings), with zeroes in the numeric columns and 'X's in the text columns including Reference.

But that doesn't work either. Given the above circumstances, what's the best way to proceed with this?

Modules & VBA :: Import Multiple Excel Sheets To One New Table

Nov 19, 2014

I have an Excel workbook with multiple sheets, all the sheets have the same headers and are formatted the same.

Problem 1 is I need some sort of loop so that all sheets will be imported, the names will vary so I can't use specific names to import.

Problem 2 is that I need to create a new TempTable based on the format of these sheets and have them all import to that one table.

I need to do some cleaning up and updating of the data before I run append queries to have it moved to a couple of permanent tables.

I know I've written the VBA to have a new table created on import and later deleted after all my queries run.
