Hi All,
I am currently in the process of writing a manual for one of our access database systems (it's written in a modified version of access). Unfortunately this database was not written by me and has many different queries which in the end returns a number of export files... Obviously I could look through each query one by one and copy the details down into a table in word or whatever.
I am just wandering is there any way to export the design of the query itself or even print it out, as obviously I could then complete a Visio like diagram and include that in the appendix of the manual.
Searched google and the access help and what not but I can't seem to come up with anything :(
I want to export details from a table in access to a word document or any other document that will keep the current design and let me make changes afterwards.
I've got this problem and im 95% sure its going to need a query in order to achieve this answer im looking for.
I'm creating a Software Licensing Management db and its all working lovely. However my only problem remains is the graphical representation (text box within one of the forms) of howmany licenses are/aren't(doesnt matter if this number is a +/- number) available.
In order to achieve this answer I dont think you'l need the table structure of any of my tables other than these two:
However I would like to add a column to either of these tables named 'Availability' or something similar which will show the licenses available.
I've tried a number of Update/Append queries but all have failed. I want this Available running variable held within the table due to it not changing to much of the current db design as i baisically finished the project and they asked for it! any ideas of how to efficiently achieve this will be much appreciated!
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column (2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need (3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
I'm hoping this isn't a silly question, but I'm going to ask it anyways.....
I have created a fairly sizeable query combining two existing tables. I am hoping to get this query to a dbf format, so that I can link it to an existing GIS theme. When I attempt the export, I get an error stating I cannot define a field more than once.
I've found a way around this, namely by exporting to an xls file and then saving as a dbf, which works but is a hassle. Am I doing something wrong??
I have a table that has mainly text fields and a few number fields. These number fields are simply a code to joined tables that contain repetitive text. I want to export the data with the text instead of the number code. The query runs fine and has the text where it should be but the export just has the number. It's been a while since I've used Access. I'm probably just forgetting something basic. Any hints?
I've been searching for a good solution for this and can't find it. Hopefully something like this is possible.
I need to produce a report in excel from my database that needs to include information from 5 different tables. The relationship between two of these tables is a many-to-many relationship connected by a junction table. (I hope that is the right terminology)
My report needs to be in a certain format and needs to include all fields in the same order for every record.
The problem arises because of the many-to-many relationship. I have a tblOrder and a tblAgent linked by the junction table tblAgentOrder. For every order there can between 1 and four different agents associated with the order which are stored in the junction table. In addition these agents will be of different types 1-4.
Ex: One order could have an agent of type 1 and an agent of type 4. While another order may only have one agent of type 2.
I need the query to give me the result of OrderID, DateOpened, AgentType1, AgentType2, AgentType3, AgentType4. Regardless of if the order actually had an AgentType3 or 4 associated with it. In this case the fields would be blank.
Right now I'm getting: OrderID, DateOpened, AgentType1 OrderID, DateOpened, AgentType2
I hope this makes sense, but let me know if I need to clarify anything.
I have a form that allows users to specify the information they want to be displayed on a subform. I have used the below code (simpilified for example purposes) to create the SQL string and sent it to the subform for display. I would like to have an export to excel button to export the recordSource to a spredsheet. is this possible?
Hi all, when exporting a query to Excel is it possible to perform page set up controls to the Excel sheet? Or will I need to create VBA page set up controls with in a Set objXL = New Excel.Application??:confused: :confused: :confused:
The code works great, however, I will be making this available to several users who will use access from differenct PCs. In order for them to get the data passed to their respective desktops, they would have to change the Me.txtfilePath.Value in the properties manaually. This is currently in the Row.Source for an unbound text box. I would prefer them not messing with that. The current value is ="C:Documents and Settings’User_ID’Desktop" where the User_ID (varies from user to user) would need to be changed. Can this be done with a variable setting that would prompt the user for their User_ID and then execute to the appropriate desk top. I am a VBA novice and would appreciate any help at all.
I am using the DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet statement that successfully exports a query result set into excel. I was wondering is there a way to get this result to populate certain fields of an existing excel spreadsheet that I have created and need the information for. Right now the query just creates a new worksheet in the specified workbook.
I am having trouble exporting a query from ACCESS 2010 to a .txt file. I have a field in the middle of the query, and I cannot get the data of this field unless I put it in the end of the query (as the last field). I think I must be doing something wrong, but I don't known what may that be.
I now understand that when opening and saving crosstab queries Access (2010) runs that query to ascertain the column names. Unless you hard-code them. Running the query takes at least 20 minutes. I have hard-coded where I can, but one report takes arbitrary dates so I can't hard-code them.
I believe that turning off AutoCorrect might make a difference to whether the query runs - but I don't want to turn it off.
Did any one get a error message like the one below: “ Run-time error ‘3061’: Too few parameters. Expected 1. “ Basically I have a form with a command button and a combo box. The combo box's row source property is set to the following sql:
SELECT DISTINCTROW tblProjts1.intProjectID, tblProjts1.chrProjectName FROM tblProjts1 ORDER BY tblProjts1.chrProjectName;
I have a command button which runs the following procedure (Thanks, credit goes to madrav72): Private Sub cmdSendToExcel_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set db = CurrentDb
'Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("qryOne", dbOpenSnapshot) Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("qryTwo", dbOpenSnapshot)
'Start a new workbook in Excel Dim oApp As New Excel.Application Dim oBook As Excel.Workbook Dim oSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set oBook = oApp.Workbooks.Add Set oSheet = oBook.Worksheets(1)
'Add the field names in row 1 Dim i As Integer Dim iNumCols As Integer iNumCols = rs.Fields.Count For i = 1 To iNumCols oSheet.Cells(1, i).Value = rs.Fields(i - 1).Name Next

My problem: When I run cmdSendToExcel_Click procedure with “ Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("qryOne", dbOpenSnapshot) “ it loads the excel and export the data to Excel without any problem. The Excel spreadsheet will show the rows as follows: ProjtIdProjName Column3Column4 Column5, etc 8Bechtel xxxyyy 9WOPS aaabbb 11Spring zzzttt 12AgP mmmnnn
But when I run with Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("qryTwo", dbOpenSnapshot), I get the error “Run-time error ‘3061’: Too few parameters. Expected 1.”
I even tested the qryTwo using a separate command button with the following code on the click event: stDocName = "qryTwo" DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit and it produces the single row based on the projectId selected on combo box (as shonw below in datasheet view): ProjtIdProjName Column3Column4 Column5, etc 8Bechtel xxxyyy
Does any one have any clue what this error 3061 is? Please help. I am struggling almost a week to figure this out, NO LUCK.
I have a complex query that I am exporting to a tab delimited text file.
The query has three date fields, and a time field. The query export results in both the date and time portions of the value being shown instead of one or the other.
I have tried using the format function to force the dates to only show the date portion, and the time field to only show the time portion. So far, without luck.
I would greatly appreciate help from someone who can spot what I am doing wrong. The sql for my query is below.

I'm not very experienced with Access. I'm looking for a very simple sample of how to export Query results to an Excel Template document. Especially to specific cell references. Would anyone have one to share. I'm trying to get my head around the concept first.
I may have to use Access 2000 and later versions to run the database, so do I have to cater for both DAO and ADO?
Hi, I have some queries in MS-Access, that I run twice every day. I store the query result in excel, with specific name and slot-code like HSC_25-Dec-04_S2.xls ( Exmple : High_Score_Customer_25-Dec-04_Slot-2) .
First few letters of the file name is static, but I want to select the Date, Slot_Code from the controls.
I have designed the form, 'CmdExport' is the command-button name, on clicking the button I need to export query result in MS-Excel.
I need help to proceed.
Can anyone guide me....................please help me...
Am trying to export an excel (97-03) file from a query I have. Some of the columns have exported as number values (as its linked via unique id's). I want it to export certain columns as the text columns. I have tried the lookup route but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I wrote a SQL query that works fine. But when I call a custom function to export it to Excel, my query SQL will get deleted (not consistent). All that is left of the script is SELECT;
MS Access 2007, Windows 7.
Here's how I call the function:
Code: Private Sub exportQryCustStatusAnalysisLite_Click() Call ExcelSmsOutput("Query", "qry_custStatusAnalysisExport", "qry_custStatusAnalysisExport", Forms![frm_main].[filePath]) End Sub
Here's the custom function:
Code: Public Function ExcelSmsOutput(objectType As Variant, prefixFileName As Variant, objectName As Variant, filePath As Variant) Dim outputFileName As String outputFileName = prefixFileName & " " & Format(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd hhh mmm sss")
I have a template csv file which has comes with headers. I now need to export multiple datas from my different tables into the csv file. I thought I would open an instance of excel, open the query as recordset (in VBA) and go through each record and finally use appExcel.saveAs as a CSV file. The approach doesnt look like it will look. I have looked into the DoCmd.Transfer text method but I cant seem to create a export specification because my query requires two parameters (startDate and endDate).
Secondly it is a huge template, over 700 fields and I will only be exporting around 40 fields so there will be huge number of empty fields. If this was a excel file, I would write few queries and write result from one query into the file then skip required columns and then write results from another query but I don't know if its possible with Docmd.write txt.
I am using access 2013 (Office 365 Pro) to perform all of this.
What I am trying to do is EXPORT a query to an Excel Workbook which is read only and I need the data to land in a specific sheet in the excel workbook.
I have tried transferspreadsheet vbcode etc. but nothing works quite right and the fact the spreadsheet is Read Only does not work.
The Name of the Query is "Accrual"
The Name and location of the Excel Spreadsheet is "c:register.xls"
The Sheet inside the workbook is called "data".
I need the data to land in the "data" sheet over the top of the previous data and not create a new sheet or mess with the formulas that are linked to the "data" sheet.
In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?
I have always been wondering why this happens, and now I have a problem with it.
When I export a Table/Query from Access to Excel (be it with Right CLick -> Export...or TransferSpreadsheet) there is an apostrophe character (') appended to the front of some/each cell in Excel. You cannot see it immediately, but when you click on the cell, there is this character. WHY? Does anyone else have experience in this? :confused:
