I have an Access database. Now I want to export the data of a table in the database to excel sheet in pre-defined format. e.g. i want that in the first row of the excel file, there is a heading called "Report". In the second row, there should be column header like "Name", "Age", "Gender". Also there must be 1 column gap between this header. Then in the following rows, there should be data.
View RepliesG'afternoon to all, I was wondering if someone can help me code a Command button named "Export to Excell" on form frmEdit. I need to export a query named qryTagnumber onto an excell spread sheet, Also if it isn't that hard and if it can be done, I would like to change the rev of the file name everytime I hit the button. Can this be done? Please see attached database. The Modules had to be removed for confidentiality of my company. These don't have to be used to run the program. They are just used for String functions. I look forward to your responses. Thanks...

I'm currently using the following VBA to export all tables within my DB to Excel on separate tabs:
Dim td As DAO.TableDef, db As DAO.Database
Dim out_file As String
out_file = CurrentProject.Path & "" & "Backup.xls"
Set db = CurrentDb()
For Each td In db.TableDefs
If Left(td.Name, 4) = "MSys" Then
'We do not need MSys tables in excel file
Else
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
td.Name, out_file, True, Replace(td.Name, "dbo_", "") 'We do not need dbo prefix in sheetnames
End If
Next
But upon exporting I get the following error:
"Run-time error 3274' External table is not in expected format"
It then hightlights the following line:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
td.Name, out_file, True, Replace(td.Name, "dbo_", "")
If i navigate to the directory i can see that it has exported it to excel(attempted), but half of the tables(tabs) are missing.
I actually have an ms access database with the following format(assuming)
title1title2title3title4title5title6
1a1b1c1d1e1f
2b2b2c2d2e2f
3a3b3c3d3e3f
4a4b4c4d4e4f
for each row in the ms access database above i need to retrieve an excel in the format below
title11a
title21b
title31c
title41d
title51e
title61f
title12a
title22b
title32c
title42d
title52e
title62f
and so on....
Where I can proceed, what tool can I use??
I'm creating a fairly basic case management system in Access 2007 and i'm wanting a way of populating a set of tasks when a case is created...
e.g.
I have a case table, which contains basic information about the case, case manager, ID, date created etc.
I've also got a task table with a list of tasks
When i create a new case I want it to pull in the list of tasks from the task table, the tasks are static so i wouldnt want them to update the task table but update progress on the tasks against the case.
Do i need another table for like casetasks where it populates the blank tasks and then they're updated with an ID linked back to the Case.
I am currently using access 97.
I am trying to read from an excel file that has the same format but changes data every day due to reports that I run from a different program. I just export them to this excel file called test.xls
What I want to do is import this data from the excel file and insert it into existing data in my table. I need to this every day.
Currently I cannot get the data to append. I can only insert the data once and cannot get it to append. I tried using macros, but think it would be better to use VB.
Any help you could provide would be great.
Thank You
hi,
i have to create one Master Data transformation tool use Microsoft access. The input file and output file of this tool are excel spreadsheet. There are 2 levels of the data transformation, first level is data mapping and validation on the raw data, second level is data update on the field value.
My question can someone show me step by step how to build this tools using access and read from excell.
I want to take the sum of all records 'cost' i.e.
record 1 - 2
record 2 - 4
record 3 - 3
I want to take the sum and put it in a calculated field and use it to divide it by a predefined value 'no of responses.'
So I make the field in the query -> Calcfield: (Sum([cost])/[responses])
I am pretty new to this and i don't understand why this won't work? Is it something to do with the row Group by (total.)
I got a combo box with a few columns for locating query activity. However, how can I make use of it to locate a particular record according to predefined values, for instance in a loop, to locate records. The combo box got 3 columns, just want to know the syntax to define the combo box according to some values. I need to define only the first colmun or all 3 columns??

We are trying to export some reports into a Rich Text format using Access on Office 2003 on a Win XP op system. When doing this on Win 98 the Rich text document was slightly out of line but not too bad. Now we are doing it on XP it is completely out of line and unusable. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an excel table called Parameter with a column called "Test" -- The column contains integer numbers only. So all the numbers in the column are like 5,10,15,20 etc..I have an access macro which imports the entire excel table into a access table called dbo_Parameters
I have created an access macro to run "Saved Import" for 'dbo_Parameters"..After uploading, all the data in the column Test is formatted to mm/ dd/ yyyy. The Field Size is Integer, but the format is view format is converted to a Date..I have to change the properties of the column to "General Number" and get rid of the date format.how to change the import format!
a) The format of the column in Excel - It is number
b) The import procedure and saved import. I am unable to change the format of the import during upload. I make sure that the import format column is Integer
I'm using Access 2003 connecting through ODBC. I'm trying to set up an automated query to grab today's data. normally it's pretty easy, all you'd have to do is enter date() in the criteria in an access query. Unfortunately, the date in my database (i can't change this) is in an odd format.
example: april 1st, 2013 = 1130401
Every single date always has that preceding "1" in front of it, then the year, then the month, and finally the day.
I want to always specify the current date whenever the query is run (without having to type it in)
hi!
I've got a database with about 200 tables and have to make sense of it. There
are no relationships and it is a little bit difficult to understand this mess. Is there any
way how I could export only the table descriptions into an excel file? I want to end up with two columns.
The first should contain the table name, and the second should contain its attribute/field names.
Bit like:
table1 attribute1
table1 attribute2
table2 attribute1
...
I'm new to access so it would be very nice if you could explain any steps in some detail.
Thanks already!
Hi all, I'm trying to get the following done:
I have code which import Excel files into my database with the "DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet". which works great.
But I'm now splitting the database and I want to have the Excel files which a user selects in his frontend database, imported in my backend database. I don't see the possibility in the TransferSpreadsheet as this is set to the CurrentDb.
My temporary solution is to import in the frontend and CopyObject to the Backend, but does anyone have a direct solution?
Thanks, Rob
i would like to create an excell file (and choose the path) in ms access
and fill that excell file with data divided over multiple sheets
or even if possible take an excell template and fill it with data, then rename
and save it
any suggestions?
Super new to the forums and hoping I can find an answer here.
After looking for an hour or so on Microsoft's site, I gave up and decided to venture into new resources.
My ultimate goal is to create a form that will prompt a user to select a Microsoft Excel file and then run a macro. The macro should import the Excel file into a single table based off of what form is being run. The idea is to have a single form for each employee of a specific department and have the form import information that is stored on our phone server into access. I've set up most of the macro but the argument section of the filename is what's hanging me up.
So finally my question;
Is there a way to have a macro run to specify what file you want to import when using an additional macro? Am I going about this the completely wrong way and should stick to VB Code?
I look forward to your responses, thank you in advanced!
I'm trying to export an access 2000 table to a text file. The table doesn't have a primary key, but one of the fields is indexed (contains duplicates ) and sorted.
For some reason, access ignores the table format and exports it not sorted.

Me.Enquiry_Desc = [Forms]![Frm_edit_Enquiry]![Enquiry_Description]
I am trying to find a simple method to have predefined table fields per Tab in a form
OR
Fill in multiple table fields per control
IE: If I click a check box, option from a drop-box, or Fill in a text-box when that information gets entered into the table the results will be:
Primary Category
Sub Category #1
Sub Category #2
Input
FOOD
_____
FRUIT
APPLE
FOOD
_____
VEGETABLE
SPINACH
The red will be automatically inserted based on what I chose for the "Sub Category #2" drop-down. The green will be what I typed in.
I have a form with contact info (name, address, postal code, email etc.) and I have set up the e-mail as a hyperlink to outlook. I would like the hyperlink to not only start a new email to that person but also have text in the message field (a template). For example,
"Hi, [Name]
I would like to confirm your address of [Address] for delivery of a package.
Thanks"
Is something like this possible? The template would include much more text than this but if this works, I can do the template myself. If it is not possible to personalize the name and address automatically within the message, they can be entered manually in the message but ideally, I would like to do it automatically.
I can use the following codes to export from Table1 to the exported.xml file.
Application.ExportXML _
ObjectType:=acExportTable, _
DataSource:="Table1", _
DataTarget:="Exported.xml"
If I also want to export multiple tables, can i use the following from Access 02/03.
Dim objOtherTbls As AdditionalData
Set objOtherTbls = Application.CreateAdditionalData
objOtherTbls.Add "Table1"
objOtherTbls.Add "Table2"
objOtherTbls.Add "Table3"
Application.ExportXML ObjectType:=acExportTable, _
DataSource:="Table1", _
DataTarget:="Exported.xml", _
AdditionalData:=objOtherTbls
I think Access 03 Application will have problem recognising CreateAdditionalData. Is this correct?
Have been searching for a way to allow an address to be looked up from a predefined table.
What I am looking for is that the user can type just part of the address into say, a text box, and are presented with all options which match so that they can chose the correct one. Once chosen I want the form to be populated with one or more fields from the selected record in the address table.
