Hi members,
I have two empty columns in my access database whose total width is supposed to be 385 chars (255+130). I am trying to find a way to be able to export this blank field with a total of 385 blank spaces onto an ASCII text file.
A sample row looks like this:
L ***** 385spaces needed here ***** 888888 EXAMPLE DEALER NAME 1234 EXAMPLE LANE EXAMPLE ADDRESS LINE 2 EXAMPLE CITY CA88888 80088812348008881234FORD JOE DEALER NAME 8008881234
After the first letter L in position 1, I need to have 385 blank spaces and then at 387th place I have some other data to follow.
I tried a lot to use the export wizard, but it doesn't help. Is there a way to do this?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Hi All, I need to export an access table to text file automatically. It would be helpful if this could be done by some commands or a batch file etc..
I have 60 access tables. I need to export the data to one single text file (if not possible I dont have problem in exporting to 60 different text files).
This needs to be done daily. So I need a faster way. I cannot use any softwares since I dont have any budget for that. But If there is any source codes I could Look at it would be more helpful.
I am trying to export a text file from access. I know how to do it using the export wizard and it pretty much works with my VB code except 1 thing. I need the header column exported as well. There is a check box to include that in your export while using the wizard. When I save the specs and do it using the VB code everything works except it does not include the header row which I need. Is there a way to include this row without having to go through the wizard?
Here is my current code that works(except the header). DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "Amazon Spec", _ "Amazon SQL Export Query", "C:Documents and SettingspctesterMy DocumentsAmazonMorningside.txt"
I have 30+ queries (or table columns) I wish to export to txtfile files that I need to be able to replace each time the table and / or queries are updated.
This is the code I've used but when I run the macro the error message is that the FreeFile is not a valid outside procedure. The code debugs without issues up to but not including the macro.
Option Compare Database Dim fFile As Long Dim strFile As String Dim strString As String Dim Rs As Recordset Dim RsSql As String
I would like to export each record of an access table to a separate text file and use one field of each record as the source for the file name of each exported text file. Does anyone know a way of dong this?
Hi I created an access with a picture I copied from the internet. When I run the report in Access, I can see the picture but when I export the report to a text file, the picture is lost. Is there anyway I can have the picture everytime I export the report to word format ?
I currently have a query pulling data from a database - I need to now export the data to a text file to import it into a different database. I need the format to be like below. Wondering how I can tell the query to go to the second line and then the third line like below.
I am trying to export a text file to be imported in to excel but whenever I export as fixed width all by number columns get cut to 2 decimal places, does anybody know how to get around this?
I am working on a website which has over 1000 pages that has the same code, but only a link that is different on each page. So, I thought that I will create a database and work my way from there. I was able to work the code and combine everything. Now would it be possible to export individual record from a query to a file with .html extension? If not, .txt will work as well. However, I want to have another field that would have the file names and the file is saved under that name.The query name is "Code Query" and the field name is "Final Code".
I have 3 queries that provide the same printer information. Each one is queried by a different field: IP address, asset tag, and serial number. This may not mean anything in the long run, though I figured it is worth mentioning.
The users need to be able to quickly query a printer utilizing one of those criteria and then copy and paste it into our ticketing system. Is there a way to automatically export the record from the query to a text file? I have extensively searched online and have tried to come up with something but I have found that I don't know where to start. This is the code for the query:
Code: Dim intCount As Integer intCount = 0 If DCount("Location", "Phone numbers Query") > 0 Then intCount = intCount + 1 DoCmd.OpenQuery "", acViewNormal, acReadOnly
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
A little background. I need to export the results of a query I use to build a report. For Print Master software I need the "Field Names" in the text file as well as the data for a Mail Merge in Print Master (PM).
"The field name information in the file you have specified is missing or not correctly formatted. The first line of the file must contain the database field names. Make sure the "Export Field Names" (or similar) option is selected in the program from which you are exporting data."
Trouble is, when trying to export the report or query, Access has no "Export Field Names" option. It works if I first export to Excel and then from Excel to "txt" then to Printmaster. I would like to eliminate the Excel step. Therefore, how do or can I get Access Export to transfer the "Field Names" along with the field data?
I am trying to export a table (and possibly later a query) into a fixed width text file and I am not finding where to set the specifications. When I select Text File in the export tab, I only get the check box about Export datq with formatting and layout. Is that basically it? I do have the table set up with the correct widths for the fields.
An additional question:
This is a large table with 99 fields for a total width of 804 characters. Is there any limit for the six of a record for such an export?
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 :
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.
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 am in trouble with the shell ocmmand,i have a text box "ExcelPath Location" in which there is a path of excel file i am using below code to open the excel file but it gives an error:
Code:
Private Sub Command11_Click() Dim str As String str = ExcelPathLocation.Value strPath = Dir(str) Shell "excel.exe" & """" & strPath & """", vbNormalFocus End Sub
Access 2000. I have table of many hundreds of records. One of th fields of text looks like this: XXXXXXXXXXXX and I want it to look like this: XXX XXX XXX XXX by adding the spaces. Would someone please show me how to write the function or code to add the spaces to the text as shown : Thanks :o
We have a table with approx 2m records. Just three fields: Key (primary) Postcode Postcode reference
The problem is with the postcodes. Many of these have a double space in them such as this DE13 7EL but we need DE13 7EL.
Find and Replace runs into a problem because of the number of records.
An update query seems obvious but we can't figure out what to put in Update to as this appears to return the literal value. We are not VBA programmers so that isn't really an option for us. How can we strip out that extra space?
I have a table with postcodes (1.6M rows) that have had all the spaces removed. I want to match another table to it and ordinarily would have removed the spaces from the postcodes in that but I think because of the vol (2.5M rows) Access is reluctant (it either crashes or only updates a few thousand). A better way would be to reformat the postcode using some SQL or VBA code. The trouble is the postcodes are different numbers of characters and the space would either need to be after the 3rd when there are 6 characters or after the 4th when there are 7 characters. eg PO121DL becomes PO12 1DL PO91UL becomes PO9 1UL
I can concatenate fields and count characters but am unsure as to the best way to approach this in terms of coding and structure? Using Access 2002.
I have two questionaire forms in a database. There are no tables or queries involved. The answers to each questionaire are compiled into text boxes, one on each Form. On the main form I have another text box that puts all the answers together so that this can be transferred to another program. An example of what is in each text box is as follows:
These are just small extractions. My problem is, if an answer is not necessary in the first lot of text, but an answer has been supplied in the second lot, how do I remove the spacing that has resulted from my Formula in Text1. -
e.g: Normal answers would show perhaps Yes Twice 16 25 Red Peter Ford Football 1965 - Whereby the first 4 answers are from Text1 and the remaining answers from Text2. If some answers are not necessary from Text1 I would get the following result: SPACE SPACE SPACE Twice Red Peter Ford Football 1965
Hello, Does anyone knows how can I export the export/import specifications (which file/directory) and how can I import/export the specifications between different versions of Access. Thanks!
I have a form that is displaying a subform (of which source is a query). I have got the data from one of the columns in the subform going into a text box (entered in the control source) however when the field is empty it comes with a #Error in the textbox.I want the textbox is display some text is the subform value is null.
I've got an access table with six fields, all of which are text fields. I have set up an export specification file in order to export the table as a tab delimited txt file. However, when I export, the output file is not lined up in columns!
What I am seeing is:
1 A BB CC DD EE 2 f GG H I J 3 kk LLMM NN O 4 PP Q R S T
I've tried a manual exort, using the Advanced tab for my specifications, with the same results.
If anyone can lend some ideas or suggestions, I would be very thankful.
Thanks in advance..... looking forward to your replies!
