General :: Export Specifications For Fixed Width Text File

Oct 15, 2014

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?

Exporting From Access 2007 As Fixed Width Text File

Apr 23, 2008

Hi,

I am trying to export a query from an Access 2007 database into a fixed width text file, to import into a statistical program. The query is a simple select query from one table, selecting 5 columns. I am using a specification to set the width of each of the fields (image attached). The problem is with the first field in the table which is a long integer field. I want to set it as a fixed width of 4 characters, but every time it exports it sets the width as 11 characters. I have tried exporting from the original table, changing the data type but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Laura

Export Fixed-width With Line Feed Only

Nov 9, 2006

Hey guys,

I searched the forums and couldnt find anything that directly related to my issue. What I am trying to do is export a fixed-width text file, but the issue is that the file has to be line feed only. By default Acces creates CR/LF and the client's import specification only allows for Line feed.

I am currently using a macro, with export specification, to create the file. Due to time constraints and other obligations, I am really trying to avoid VBA programming.

Thanks in advance,
Jahaines

Exporting To A Fixed Width Txt File - How Do I Right Justify Fields?

Sep 1, 2004

I have a spec set up that controls the settings for an export file. the table and the form are set up with fields that are right justified. When the data is entered into the table from the form, it shows in the table as right justified. When I run a query and then try to export the results, I use the spec I set up to deliver the txt file in a fixed width ASCII txt file. The data shows in the txt file as left justified. - I need it to be right justified.

example:

$ amount- in the table, the dollar amount is 11 char long and is right justified do it looks like this: |-------7.50| I need those spaces (-) in the export file yet when I export it, it is left. The wizard shows a preview, yet there is no way to make it right.

Can I add blank spaces in the database or space fill the 7 preceding Char in the field with some sort of invisible char or zeros?

Any help would be great - thanks

Using Convert Text To Column Function In Access That Separates At Fixed Width?

Mar 25, 2013

Is there a way to use a convert use a "text to column" function in access that separates at a fixed width?I have an access table (that I can't change) that includes the data and time in the same column and I want to separate the two (date and time) in a query.

Modules & VBA :: Excel File Export Auto Cell Width?

Jun 26, 2014

I have the following code to export a query into a excel file:

Code:
Dim outputFileName As String
outputFileName = "C:AccountSpreadsheet est.xls"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "Q_Search_Invoices", outputFileName, True
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
xlApp.Workbooks.Open "C:AccountSpreadsheet est.xls", True, False
Set xlApp = Nothing

This works almost exactly how I want it to work.

The only thing wrong is that the columns are all the same width and they are all to narrow.

Is there a way to make the columns automatically become the width of the longest text within them (exactly what happens when you double click on the side of a squashed column in excel)?

Export Text File From Access

Nov 9, 2004

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"

Export NULL Spaces To Text File?

Nov 10, 2004

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,

Export Fixed Length Is Stripping Leading Zeros

Jul 27, 2006

I hope someone can help with this one. After many years of using Access for ad-hoc data conversion this has beaten me.
I need to produce an ascii text file with fixed column widths, separated by commas, strange I know but the customer is always right. As it is fixed width I have inserted the commas by using a separate column for each one.
Numeric columns need to be left padded with zeros. I have constructed a query to do all the column selection and reformatting into a new table which I then export using a fixed length export file spec. Everything works fine except for 3 columns which are calculated by subtracting one column from another. I can get the data to look fine in the output table, the datatype is text, but when I export the table the leading zeros are stripped.
This is my expression: String(9-Len(FormatNumber([FULL_FARE_EQUIV]-[TAX_EQUIV],2,0,0,0)),"0") & FormatNumber([FULL_FARE_EQUIV]-[TAX_EQUIV],2,0,0,0).
The result in the table is exactly what I want: 000200.00 but when I export it I get a left adjusted 200.00.
I've tried using format with a "000000.00" mask which gives the same results.
I've tried removing the preceding comma column and including the comma as a prefix using the format mask ",000000.00" and also by concatenation. This looks fine in the table column ,000200.00 but I get an error when I export the table which blanks the column. Error attached.

General :: Export Individual Record To Its Own Text File

Sep 19, 2012

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".

Modules & VBA :: Auto-export Query Record / Row To Text File

Oct 24, 2013

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

Forms :: Export Query To Text File With Specific Formatting?

Oct 28, 2013

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

General :: Export Query Or Report To A Delimited Text File

Aug 29, 2012

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?
