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 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?
This may be a real dumb question but is there any way to view/edit an existing export specification for the transfer text macro? I'm reviewing someone else's database and can't figure out how to view it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a table with an older version of MS Access which was replaced with Access 2010. I was able to export the table simply by selecting specifications that I created.
How do I export with these same specifications in Access 2010 ?
I have a table that has over 6000 rows with two columns. One a title and the other a memo column with transcripts from interviews (some being extremely long). I do research using content analysis and to do that on these interviews, I need each one saved in its own text file.
Specifically I need to export each transcript into its own text file and save that file using the title from the other column. So I would end up with over 6000 text files all being saved using the title from the corresponding row as the transcript. Is this even possible?
Hello All,
I am trying to export a query to multiple .csv files.. For example...
Export1.csv = rows 1-1500
Export2.csv = rows 1501-3000
Export3.csv = rows 3001-4500
and so on until all rows have been exported...
Anyone have any idea what the best way to approach this is?
I'm sure many people will find this usefull because some exports can be over the 65000 limit of ms excel.
Here is my function :
Private Sub Commande4_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim BaseSQL As String
Dim strSQL As String
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT DISTINCT [Dealer/Distributor Number] FROM Query_Active_Dealer_List_Update")
Set qdf = dbs.QueryDefs("Query_Active_Dealer_List_Update")
BaseSQL = qdf.SQL
With rst
Do Until .EOF
strSQL = Left(BaseSQL, Len(BaseSQL) - 3) & " WHERE [Dealer/Distributor Number] =" & ![Dealer/Distributor Number]
qdf.SQL = strSQL
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Main_Report", "RichTextFormat", "C:Documents and SettingslarocmaDealer_Scorecards" & ![Dealer/Distributor Number] & ".doc"
.MoveNext
Loop
.Close
End With
qdf.SQL = BaseSQL
Set qdf = Nothing
Set rst = Nothing
Set dbs = Nothing
End Sub
The problem is in the line containing : strSQL = Left(BaseSQL, Len(BaseSQL) - 3) & " WHERE [Dealer/Distributor Number] =" & ![Dealer/Distributor Number]
If I let ![Dealer/Distributor Number] this way I get an error and no report generated. But if I put "[Dealer/Distributor Number]" in a parameter, and I enter the dealer numbers by hand, I get good working reports. Dealer/Distributor Number are not nul. Main_Report is a report containing many sub_reports grouped by Dealer/Distributor Number. The query I linked to the function is the query I use on the main report to get the information about each dealership.
hi,
I'm having a small but annoying problem exporting data to excel and then importing it back..
The problem is that when i export a table to Excel - it changes the date format from dd/mm/yy (which is what i have in Access) to DD-MMM-YY (automatically in Excel)
This proves to be a problem because when i import the spreadsheet back Access gives me a data type conversion error.
Its easily solved manually by changing the field in excel to dd/mm/yy format but annoying as the user will have to do this everytime they export and import!
Any suggestions??
Thanks in Advance..
Who can help me out?? :confused:
I am looking for 2 scripts
1) for exporting an existing table with data to an seperate MDB file
(filename to be given by user using a dialogbox)
2) importing the MDB file (from question 1) back into the existing table in
the original database. Script does not have to worry for dublicate data.
I would like to automate this daily process: In this order import or link, (not sure which is the best option) a fixed width table, add an ascending number to the end of each of the records, reverse the order, and finally export to fixed width .txt documents depending on the quantities in one field. There would be 3 text files exported, max.

I'm trying to export a database to a progam by the name of AA Planer.
I did a google on the phrase "access exprort AA Planner" and I got web page that said to "export the data in CVS format where Exel would acept it." So that brought me to the asumtion to export the data in CVS to import it to AA Plannner. Would I be right in making that asumtion.
Is there a way to move import/export specifications from one database to another?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI created a DB to track soldier information. Each month reports are due to Brigade. Each Company and Battalion has there own version of the DB. What I need to do is export data from the Company then import it to the Battalion. Then I need to export the info from the Battalion and import them into the Brigade. This information is either all new for a new soldier or updated info for an existing record for an existing soldier. I need to update all new changes to the info. What is the best method for doing this.
Also, when I try to export a .dbf, it pops up with an error saying there are duplicate field names. Im confused because ieach field name is unique.
Thanks for any help I can get.

Ok,
I'm new to a particular access database that is having problems.
Basically, it is using transfertext to transfer a database to another file, at least as far as I know.
Unfortunately, it's hanging, and as best as I can guess, its because something in the export specification file is not quite right.
Can anyone offer me an explanation of how to edit an import or export specification file? The MS help seems to indicate that it stored in the database, but I haven't been able to locate the file that is specified in the vba code. Nor did I see it elsewhere in the folder where the database is stored.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi all,
I have an access Db that I use to manage contacts etc. I regularily send out newsletters and emails to the contacts in that Db.
I want to know if there is a way I can essentially track the emails from access in outlook.
eg. based on field "email" it can see the emails incoming and outgoing in Outlook and makes a new record in my table "communications" that also tracks phone calls and other comm's.
Tbls - Contacts, Communications, Company
It would be great if all email communications could just automatically be listed in the access table communications with a link to the email in outlook (not the actual email, only the subject line and a hyperlink to the email)
I have been scouring the web for something to do this and have found lots of kinda's or not quite's. I don't want to import my outlook email to a table if possible.
I run Outlook and Access 2003 (Office 2003) on XP SP2 box.
Thanks Heaps if you have any idea what I am after!

I have a database witch includes a continuous form (named frmExport). It could be very useful for me if i can find a way so to export data from access 2007 and then to import them into a word file.
Please note: The access data will be inserted into word table.
I have a few problems and I want them to be able to be done from switchboard:
1. Is there a way for me to export a particular report (after selecting it) to a closed excel template, that is formatted? It would open the excel template (that has a logo and column headings), export data to below the column headings, then save the file with a unique name?
2. Also, a way to import data from an excel file, after allowing the user to select file? Only data below the column headings mentioned above. Same data will be appended to existing table.
Hello everyone.
I've been in a new position for a new company for less than three weeks, and I need some help.
The Access database that we use has been in operation since 2002, and it has never been Compacted/Repaired (I asked my coworkers and supposed IT people, and they said "what's that?").
After adding *one* new field, I've reached the horrific "error 3190" (max 255 fields).
I've tried all of the following, allowing at least 12 hours for them to run, but I cannot:
export the data to Excel
import the data into a new database
copy/paste the records (because there are 12100+ and the max is 9500, I think; and because of the way the dd/mm/yy converted itself to dd/mm/yyyy)
or rename the table with the data.
Please, someone help me.
I am creating a ImportExportData macro that will link to my tables in the BE
However the BE has a password. I was told this would require coding.
I have even tried to 'convert macro to VB' and i get this:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "Microsoft Access", "c: est.accdb", acTable, "Table1", "Table1", False
I then tried to enter the password in the last segment (StoreLogin) ie:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "Microsoft Access", "c: est.accdb", acTable, "Table1", "Table1", False, "PASSWORD"
but that didn't work either, i got a "An expresiions you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"...
How to Export and Import data into and from Access using a Quicken Interchangeable Format (QIF) ...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm building a data base for my company, which is composed of items we sell. I then need these records to populate our pricebooks, which are excel worksheets, under multiple workbooks.
So essentially, I would like to have all the fields separated by vendor, series and series items, then populate the proper Excel worksheet (within a supplier's workbook). I have the know how to build a query to narrow down a particular vendor/series/groupofitems, but I don't want to be creating an enormous list of queries which have to be run each time.
I also have the know how to create a joined table which pulls the item list into the proper group, creating one large table with every vendor, series, and items. But what I'm looking for is some type of hybrid, which will allow me to export all of the items to their corresponding worksheets in one fell swoop. This will be done regularly as prices from suppliers change, certain colors are discontinued, sizes added, etc.
I'm guessing when I use the query which creates the large table with all the product that it's indexed, and that I would be able to use this to then import the data into excel/export the data to excel. But I'm not sure about this.
I am trying to create an ODBC link to a copy of the Northwind data base.I am running Win7 on a 64 bit operating system but am keeping office running as 32 bit for Access, Excel , Visio etc due to the fact that I have a lot of old apps tied to them.
When I attempted initially to create a new system DSN ODBC connection it only allowed me to use SQL drivers. (No plurry good) So after some searching I found out that I could use a file in C:WindowsSysWOW64 called "odbcad32.exe" which has allowed me to view /use the total list of drivers to import data.So I can set up a DNS ODBC named Northwind1 and I can access the database without problems using Excel.However if I try to use the same ODBC link in Access to connect to Northwind1 I get the following error message:"You cannot use ODBC to import from export to, or link an external ?Microsoft Access or ISAM database table to your database".
Hi,
I am attempting to import a .csv file into Microsoft Access. The .csv file is a raw data export from an online application used within the business.
One of the fields reported on within the file is unformatted, ie. "free-text". Some users are entering a comma within this "free-text" field, which is throwing my import table out of alignment.
Is there some way that I can continue to import the .csv file, but ignore any commas that appear within this one field.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

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.
