Exporting Query To Text File - Too Small To Accept The Amount Of Data ... HELP!! WHY?
Mar 30, 2006
Hi folks,
I have a query that returns about 3500 records (and runs very well I have to say). the issue comes when I attempt to export that queries results to a comma seperated text file. It gives me the message that the field is too small to accept the amount of data..bla bla bla... I've looked this up and it mentions stuff about memo fields and issues with that, but I don't have any memo fields in any of the tables that this is pulling information from. Does anyone have a clue why this would be happening...please help..this is urgent.
Thanks - J

All,
I have inheirited a database which I am attempting to query via an SQL statement:
"SELECT * FROM MYTABLE ORDER BY SheetNumber;"
This query works fine under Access but when executed thru ADO 2.5 / Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 from VB6 it reports the following error ("2147217833"):
"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."
First things first, I'm not trying to add/insert/paste any data (see SQL statement above). Secondly, when I remove "ORDER BY SheetNumber" from the SQL statement the error does not occur. I need to retain the ability to sort and would be grateful for any help/suggestions.
For your reference SheetNumber is defined as a 20 char Text field in Access.
Thanks in advance,
Rob Black.

I currently have a drop down box with four options in there and the options are:
Low
Minimum
Medium
High
However when i change the options in the table to:
Low
Moderate
Significant
High
it comes up with the error message: the field is too small the accept the amount of data you attemtpted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.
I do not understand what is wrong with the second option of words? The maximum for characters is set to 255 so i am not sure why it is coming up with that error message.

I have the following query, which runs perfectly:
SELECT
[qry_BMO_District_Recap - RHS - Stage 2].Transit,
Format([qry_BMO_District_Recap - RHS - Stage 2].month,"mmmm yyyy") AS MonthOfYear,

I get the error message "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you are trying to add. try inserting or pasting less data." I'm not attempting to run an insert or update query.
Access Help lives up to expectations by just repeating the error message, and the posts I can find on the forum which mention this error all seem to include something about a maximum of 254 characters in a field. None of mine are anywhere near that amount.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I am trying to insert data into a table through a combo on a form. Originally, I had the text field size set at 15 characters, but the data I wanted to enter changed to 25 characters in length, so I changed the field size to 25. I then got the following message:
"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."I increased the size, but still got the message. I even took the size right up to 100, but still got the message!

I need to export data from a table in Access to a fixed length record text file and would like to find out how to export a number field into this text file with leading zeros.
The text file requires this 999999.99 and right justify and zero fill. My question is this: how can I zero fill from the table to the txt file? I went through the export wizard and couldn't see how to do it.
Thanks

Ok, I have a question. It might be a ridiculously simple question. Also, i'm under the impression that I may have to learn some VB, which i'm okay with. I've never really used MS Access, it has sat neglected on my desktop for a number of years and now I am starting to see just how powerful it is. By the way, I'm Jamie, nice to meet you all :) Now, onto the questionWhat i'd like to do is take the following database (for example)field1 = namefield2 = locationfield3 = favourite movieNow, i'd like to generate the following text from this database, for each entryDear <<name>>I once knew a man from <<location>>Was never really much of a <<favourite movie>> fan.Optionally, i'd like it to store the text for each seperately generated document in a file named <<name>>.txt, but that isn't needed urgently.It reminds me of a mail merge I learned to do a few years back in high school using appleworks (I am assuming it was appleworks).Anyway yes, thankyou in advance for any help with this.Jamie

My question is when exporting an access table to a text file using a fixed file format can you combine two fields into one field and if so how do you do it.

First I'm developing in Access 2010. I am struggling with code that is supposed to create a text file and populate it from a query. The Query "cbt_Candidate_Export_Temp" is working fine but I keep getting the error in the second argument:
"Run-time error '3625': The text file specification 'cbtTab' does not exist... "
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "cbtTab", "cbt_Candidate_Export_Temp", "denali
bccdatabasesBCCCBT_Export" & strFileName & ".txt", True
What object is "cbtTab"? I didn't write this base code and I can't find it nor do I know how to create "cbtTab" ....

I am able to successfully export data from an Access 2010 Query to a Tab Delimited Text file without difficulty.My problem is that the Query includes several 'tick boxes'. The resulting text file shows the text boxes as 1 or 0 as appropriate. What I actually require is a Y/N result.To achieve the required Y/N result requires some fiddly find and replace editing which is complicated by the fact that the query also contains telephone numbers incorporating 1 & 0, This then requires further editing of individual records to convert misplaced Y/N back to 1/0. Is their any way that one can force the export to convert text boxes to Y/N rather than 1/0.

Hello,
I am exporting a table to a text file and I am having a problem with decimal places. I have got a column which is showing a number with differing number of decimal places, between 0 & 3. The column is set to Data Type decimal with auto decimal Places setting.
When I export this to a text file, it automatically changes the field to be 2 decimal places. Is there anything that can be done about this? If I export it to an excel file, the formatting stays the same, but the table will be too big to export to excel at some point so I can't do this.
Kind Regards
Carly

I am not sure if this is possible or not, I am trying to export a large table that includes a text qualifier "". I have managed to change all the fields in the table to text. the problem id that I need to supply the data to an outside source that wants the qualifier to also be included for null fields (they receive other files not processed from Access with this included).
I was just after info about if it is possible or I am wasting time trying to come up with a solution (this will be done on a regular basis so I don't want to have to export the table to another software package to perform the task.
Thank you for any assistance.............

In my database I would like my report to run every 30 seconds and export that data to a text file. I am not sure if that is best with a Do While or Do Until.
What I am looking to accomplish is to populate a map with data from the data base report. it needs to rerun the report and write the text file every 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Any help with the coding would be greatly appreciated.

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

Hi guys, this might be a quickie, I did a quick search but couldn't find anything :/
Basically my database creates a table which some people would rather analyse within excel because they're not comfortable with access. I can get the table exporting to an xls file no problem, howeevr what I would like is for the database to export the file and open the file in excel at the same time so the user doesn't need to open up excel and find the file etc...
Any ideas??

I have a text file linked to this database, and I'm trying to create a Query that will pull all of the data out of this text file, and add a rank if two of the values match in multipe records.So in other words, when multiple records have the same [JOBNBR] , I want to evaluate the [TIMESTAMP] value to see if it is the smallest one, and so on.I don't want to create multiple queries to do this, is there any way to do this? Here's what I have:
Code:
DDR: (Select count(*) from tblMyDataImport Where [tblMyDataImport].[TIMESTAMP] < [TIMESTAMP] AND [tblMyDataImport].[JOBNBR]=[JOBNBR] )

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.
