Export From Access To SQL Automatically
Apr 21, 2007
Hi -
I have a client that would like to export an news email list from their Access database into an SQL database that we use to send newsletter emails.
Does anyone know of a simple way to;
a: Export a table of data from Access to a csv file automatically.
b: have an SQL database look for a updates to the csv and import all - or all new data into a table in SQL
Any tips would be grateful - I know the task here sounds over complicated but my client does not have the budget to redesign their Access database into SQL, I have CRON running on the same server as the Access database, this could be a handling method for the automation, but I'm not sure if again I am over complicating things here myself, and Access / SQL have the capabilities of doing these things independantly.
Many thanks for reading.

Relatively speaking, I've got a pretty simple database. The presenters at our community radio station fill out a form of what song they play and this (along with the system time) is stored in a table.
I have a wildcard query to bring up all entries from a certain date and at present, I export a report of this by hand on a Saturday for everyday of the previous week - but I want to automate this?!
I can change the query to be a standard one to just bring up entries for today. I then, somehow, need to automatically export a report of this query as a PDF at midnight every night into a certain folder with the file name being today's date.

Recently I set up a button to export a report automatically to Excel using the following code: DoCmd.outputTo acOutput Report, "Report1", acFormat.xls, "J:Insurance DeptReport1.xls", True.This works great, however I was wondering 2 things:
1. How do you set up to transfer multiple reports using the same button. EG I have reports named Report2, Report3, etc how do I add these to the code to export as well?
2. Is it possible to have them transfer to the one file but different sheets. EG Report1 would go to sheet1, Report2 to sheet 2, report3 to sheet 3 and so on?

We are having a problem with mulitple users leaving an Access db open and then I am not able to make new reports, etc. without calling everyone to close their session.
Is there a way to automatically close a db if user has not used in certain amount of time?
Thanks, Noreene

I wish to automatically fill in a form in datasheet view with records from a table. Currently you need to select each record to fill the list. I think this can be done using VBA, I'm a begininner to programming but think I need the code to do something like this.
Lookup the table or query, DoCmd select the first record, DoCmd select next record, Loop to end of recordset??
Basically it is automatically entering/ filling in each row (record) in the datasheet for every record in that table or query.
Any idea's please.

I would like to export a access report to excel. All rows and columns exported correctly except from text fields (missing or change to a strange number). I've also think about to write a vb script to export the result recordset of the report to the excel. But the report is a report of Sales which containing a grand total amount of the group of records. Is there a way to write a script to achieve this (the grand total amount is not include in the recordset)?
Thanks!

Good morning all,
First, I know there have been a lot of posts on this topic already, and I've printed out several of them to try to help me solve my problem. However, I'm having a problem getting mine to work.
Here's what I want to do, I am trying to export four different queries into one workbook, separate worksheets in Excel. For example, I have qryControl, qryLocal, qryPar and qryNasco. I want to export qryControl into the CONTROL worksheet in General Ledger.xls, qryLocal into the LOCAL worksheet in General Ledger.xls, and so on and so forth. Can this be done?
I started a practice form and added a command button based on some of the information I read before, just to see if I can get a query to transfer period and I ran into some problems. Here is the code I used:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "qryWorldWideClaims", "C: emp.xls", True
'Create Excel Instance
Dim xlObj As Object
Set xlObj = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
'Open the template file
xlObj.workbooks.Open "C:mytemplatefile.xls"
'Save the template file with another name
xlObj.activeworkbook.savesas "C:mynewfile.xls"
'Open the temp file we exported from Access
xlObj.workbooks.Open "C: emp.xls"
'Select and copy all the data
xlObj.activeworkbook.cells.select
xlObj.activeworkbook.selection.copy
'Re-activate the destination file
xlObj.workbooks("mynewfile.xls").Activate
'Select cell A1 on the first sheet
xlObj.activeworkbook.sheets(1).range("A1").select
'Paste the data
xlObj.activesheet.paste
'Save and close the file
xlObj.activeworkbook.Save
xlObj.activeworkbook.Close
'Close the other file - assumes no other Excel files are open
xlObj.activeworkbook.Save
xlObj.actoveworkbook.Close
xlObj.Quit
Set xlObj = Nothing
End Sub
I get an error message at the following line:
xlobj.activeworkbook.saveas "C:mynewfile.xls"
The error is:
'Runtime Error 438' Object doesn't support this property or method.
Can somebody please tell me if I can export to four different worksheets in the same workbook and also what I need to do to resolve my error.
Thanks every body!

Hey all. I posted this over at Mr. Excel too on the Access forums, but I thought maybe someone from this site might know the answer to my question.
I know pivot tables and charts are more up Excel's ally, but my question has more to do with Access I think. I've made a pivot table form from a query and everything is working fine except one thing. I want the table to refresh automatically. I don't want the user to have to go in and refresh the data manually.
I'm thinking I could put something on the forms "On Open" event but I don't know the specific coding. If anyone has any idea on this, I'd greatly appreciate some feedback.

Could anyone explain me the best way to fill external HTML pages automatically with data from an Access dbase?
I have spotted several commercial tools that use macro recording. Surely there must be another way using visual basic for example?

Hello...
I am trying to export an Access table to a csv file.
I have several fields in the table that are type double and go to 3 decimal places. When I export the data, it truncates it to 2 decimal places.
I changed the table design from "Auto" decimal places to 3. and that didn't help.
When I am in the Table Export wizard, it shows all 3 decimal places, but when I look at the text file, it's only 2.
Anybody ever have this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Greg

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.

Folks,
I have a form with combo box (cboProjForRptSeltn ) and two command buttons. The combo box is filled with name of the reports. The combo box has two columns, column 1 is the name of the report and column 2 is the bound column which also is the link field (primary key) to limit the records.
When the user selects an item from cbo box and click the "Preview Risk Table" command button it will open a report in preview mode. The report's "Record Source" property is set to a UNION query (qryRprtRskTbl) which pull the records from several tables. The report's "Filter" property is set to the following criteria:
“qryRprtRskTbl.P.intProjectId=Forms!frmReportSelec tionBlrR1!cboProjForRptSeltn”
The above criteria is nothing but filter based on the value of the cbo box.
The click event procedure is as follows:
Private Sub cmdPreviewRprt_Click()
Dim strDocName As String
strDocName = "rptRskTblProjectWise"
DoCmd.OpenReport strDocName, acPreview, "qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1"
End Sub
"qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1" is another query out of the UNION query I mentioned above (qryRprtRskTbl). qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1 is pulling all the records from qryRprtRskTbl which meets the projectID field selected in cbo box, which is also the same as the "Filter" property value of the report as indicated above.
Everything works fine with cbo box and "Preview Risk Table" command button. It just pull all the records for the project selected under cbo box and display it as report in preview mode. Looks great!!
Here's my problem. I wanted to export the same report that was previewed by the user to Excel. For this I am using, another command button called “Export to Excel”. The click event of this procedure is as shown below:
Private Sub cmdExportToExcel_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim xlWorkbook As Excel.Workbook
Dim acQuery As QueryDef
Dim objRST As Recordset
Dim strQueryName As String
Dim strSearch As String
'Dim strSQL As String
'strSearch = Me![cboProjForRptSeltn]
strQueryName = "qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1"
'strQueryName = "qryEffcyAllProjtsForRprt"
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
Set xlWorkbook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
Set objRST = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strQueryName)
'Loop through the fileds collection and make each field name a column heading in Excel
Set xlSheet = xlWorkbook.Sheets(1)
For lvlColumn = 0 To objRST.Fields.Count - 1
xlSheet.Cells(1, lvlColumn + 1).Value = objRST.Fields(lvlColumn).Name
Next
'Change the font to bold for header row
xlSheet.Range(xlSheet.Cells(1, 1), xlSheet.Cells(1, objRST.Fields.Count)).Font.Bold = True
' I have some codes here for formatting Excel cells …
'Send data from Recordset out to Excel
With xlSheet
.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset objRST
.Name = Left(strQueryName, 31)
End With
Set xlSheet = Nothing
Set xlWorkbook = Nothing
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub
When I click the command button, it loads an instance of Excel and adds a workbook under the query name "qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1", but no data.
If I use another query say, "qryEffcyAllProjtsForRprt", which has no connection to cbo box value then it is cool, exports all the data to Excel without any problem.
I guess, you folks understand what I am trying to achieve here. Basically, I wanted to give the user some flexibility, either they can view the data as Access report or Export to Excel with same formatting feature and add more later if they want after exporting, as they see on Access report preview.
I have attached some of the query files I have described here. May be I can clarify more down the road, if necessary.
My bottom line question is: why the “qryRprtRskTblFilter_r1” query runs perfectly on Access reports but not when I want to run to export to Excel?
I don’t want to use the TransferSpreadsheet or outputTo method of docmd object, because I wanted to do some formatting before I export to excel.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a form whose fields are calculated based off VBA code, including fuctions, SQL, etc. Because of the nature of my form, I cannot save the calculations to a table before exporting to and excel spreadsheet.
When I use the File>Export feature of Access and save to and Excel format, I am not able to change the format of my numbers in Excel. For example, I have tried to highlight some of my exported numbers, right-click, and change the format to currency in Excel (or even decimal places). In order for excel to change the format, I have to select the cell, place my cursor in the edit window, and hit enter.....then the format will change.....is there any way to avoid this?
Please let me know if this isn't clear, and I'll attempt to explain it better.
