Export Tables To XML - How To Get Around An Issue
Jun 7, 2006
HI:
I've managed to export multiple linked tables to XML via the Export feature in Access. In looking at the XLM that is generated, I notice that the data that corresponds to the key field contains the key that is autogenerated. If, for example, I look at the last table in the chain, and look at the foreign key field, it contains the key number of the table that it is linked to (as it should). My question is: is there a way to have this key value inserted in a relative (referential?) format rather than an absolute format?
For example, If the foreign key (e.g. #5) in table 'B' points to primary key 5 in table 'A', instead of having '5' in the field ID_my_key,
e.g.: <Table>A</Table>
<ID_my_key>5</ID_my_key>
I could have something like: TABLE A.5.
<Table>A</Table>
<ID_my_key>A.5</ID_my_key>
I am looking for this feature because I need to take a set of objects that are arranged in a hierarchial manner in the data base and import a subset of that information (keeping the hierarchial information in tact) into another tool.
I guess I could write some code to walk the structure and construct the references but that would be some additional work that I really don't have time for at the moment.
Any help/pointers on how to do this is appreciated.

I have created about 7 tables in Access, which all have the same column names. I want to export all of the table's data at the same time into a Excel SpreadSheet using VBA.
Also I want specify where i want the data to go in the SpreadSheet e.g. All data will be exported to cell A4.
Any ideas or help?
Kind Regards
Richard

Hi,
Would it be possible for me to build an interface for a customer to use for importing data. So that they customer could choose from a drop down list, or input into a text box where they want to export from, and where they would like the export to be imported?

I would like to export fields from Access 2003 with a comma pragmatically added between each field as a CSV file.
I am able to export the fields without the comma, but the Accounting Program that I want to use for the importing of the data requires a comma to separate each field.
Example
one,two,three,four,five

I have to import a table into a government database. I've got the data lined up in a table and exported to csv. The problem is that the government database doesn't allow empty fields, or the commas created by empty fields. The empty fields are create by criteria that changes with each employee. Is there a way to get rid of them without manually deleting them? I would imagine there is but can't find anything about it or maybe I don't see the forest for the trees? Sample csv below with surplus commas.
Code:
3010,702073771620150200000000000001,3015,IT3(a),3020,A,3025,2015,,,3030,Sabelo,3040,Nkosinathi ,3050,NE,3060,6012125391085,3070,,3075,,3080,19601212,3100,0000000000,3263,55103,3264,ZAR,3125,,3136,0437343012,3138,,3147,

I'm learning Access by myself and i have some problem with exporting a multiple value field to an excel.
I have a field name "Users" in a table wherein this field is a multiple value field and looku up the value from the other table. When I export the table to excel, the data in the multiple value field does not export properly and it just shows some symbol in the excel.
Is there something wrong with my field?

I need to output my Access Database as one XML File. My issue is I need to have two tables mapped back to one table. When I try to nest them, one table is nested as it should be, but the other one is just added on the end of the file; not nested like I need it to be.
Board Stacks is the upper end Table. Calibration and Station_Captesters needs to be nested inside it. On top of that, I also want to add they lower two tables in series.

I have two tables identical with all text fields within the same database. One table I export as a csv, delimited with commas separating my fields and quotation text qualifiers. Where the fields are blank there are text qualifiers as well ("" - begining and ending quotations). This is what I need. The second table is exporting as a csv, delimited, commas separating the fields with text qualifier as ""- begining and ending quotations, EXCEPT the blank fields are not putting the text qualifier, and I need it.
First Table: *What I need*
"142358", "PK", "15132678", "", "123.45"
Second Table: *What I need to fix and do NOT want*
"142358", "PK", "15132678", ,"123.45"

I need to export a table to .txt.
I need to have the field names as well as the records.
Some records are part numbers with a leading zero like 043095.
Some records are part numbers with dashes and alpha's like 123456E-789.
I don't think I can use .csv because some records have a part number description uses comma's like "some text, more text, even more text".
I don't need all the hyphens and pipes for the grid work.
The problems I have so far are:Exporting to .txt without formatting doesn't bring over the field names (I know they made it this way) Is there a work around other than exporting the data and then adding all the field names in with a macro in Excel? I can do it but, what a pain.
I see dropping of leading zeros = 43095 in .txt and .xlsx
Exporting to Excel sometimes scrambles the part numbers and they come out like this 5.91E-09 when it should be 123456E-789 (so I'm losing data).
Exporting to Excel also puts qoutes in the description field like "A very large part" (extra clean up necessary).
easiest way to get rid of the hyphens and pipes and leave it in .txt form?

I have inherited 1000 records which need to fit into new criteria selected from combo boxes and to do this individually by the forms will take forever so i want to copy and paste the data in the table, but when I do it doesn't fill in the form.
This may be a problem with the cascading script in the form as the fields fill in when I press f9 but disappear every time I open the form.Finally I eventually want to export the data as a table but displaying the text value rather than the key value.

I am using Access and Excel 2007. This Db is for a mental health practice to track and store the paper questionnaires that the patients fill out. The data then needs to be exported to Excel so that it can be imported into a proprietary software that analyzes the data and recommends treatment plans. (It does NOT play nice with Access, forget it.) There are many forms and all of them are fine and export to separate worksheets no problems.
Now for the problem child: One form has 493 fields. Obviously I could fit that into two tables, but it seemed cleaner to use a main form and main table with the patient information (ID_Number, Name, Date, etc.), then tabbed subforms and separate tables for each “section” of the questionnaire (School, Work, Home, etc. There are 11 tables/forms in all.) These tables are all related by the ID_Number. The problem is the export. I need all 493 fields to write to one worksheet in order. This would of course involve removing the ID_Number field from all the tables except the main one. A query obviously can’t handle that many fields. VBA I can TransferSpreadsheet but then each table goes to a separate worksheet.
I’m thinking maybe calling some SQL code that will drop the unneeded fields and keep appending the data to the worksheet one table at a time? Of course the rows would somehow need to be defined WHERE ID_Number = ID_Number so that the same patients information is all on one row.

I've been using a series of 5 tables to export an XML file using Access's native XML export. In order to keep the XML intact, there are relationships setup to link each sets of elements together via an ID number(link) field in each table.
Access does a great job at exporting, but then we need to rely on another program to delete these link fields that links the tables together so our XML validates. Additionally, we use this program to reorganize some of the XML, as one of our tables puts itself at the end of the XML element and not in the middle where it should be. This is not a problem when I'm dealing with a few hundred records, as the 3rd part program does the trick. The problem is when I have enough data to generate a 30+MB file that my other program chokes on when trying to manipulate the XML.
So my question is...how can I export these 5 tables to XML while omitting the linking member fields and organizing it how it should be? I have examples of code below. How Access Exports it
Code:
<MASTER-RECORDS>
<RECORD-ID-NUMBER>5648743524654</RECORD-ID-NUMBER>
<RECORD-ID-NAME>JOHN SMITH</RECORD-ID-NAME>
<link-for-pseudonyms>123456</<link-for-pseudonyms>
<PLACE>USA</PLACE>
<DAY>MONDAY</DAY>

I have a code module in my interface with 3 functions that run via separate forms with user inputs. Each function is similar in design, exporting data from a generated query to excel for input into external software.
The database is split into an interface FE (Access 2007) with linked tables BE (Access 2000). I have successfully tested each of the 3 functions in my code module with a set of tables containing fake test data. However, I have discovered that if I link to a different copy of the .mdb tables, 2 of the export functions no longer work and the third one still works fine.
What is causing the problem but the part that is not working correctly is the loop.
Here is my code module:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Function CreateQCStaticChartsforReports() As Boolean
'Define variables for Static Chart creation
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim strSQLStatic As String
[Code] .....

I have two tables of different structures. Both have sys=autoincrement as a unique record identifier. What is the best way to blend the two tables into one? Should I change the field structure of each table so that they match up for a file export and import and if so how do I handle the fact that each table currently has it's own record identifier number.?
