Exporting Table To DBase IV (*.dbf) With VBA
Feb 22, 2008
Hello guys,
I am working on a database that requires a user (with very little access knowledge) to export a table into .dbf (DBase IV Format) using a button and VBA.
I realize this can be done by right clicking on a table and click export. However I did not give the end user access to the tables (being a good DB Developer!) and also I don't believe I can teach this particular user how to do the steps to accomplish this.
The scenario: Third party software needs (SwissSys, which is a chess software) to grab information about players and ratings from a .dbf file (and will not work with access). I have developed a database for the association so that they can edit players information, and update the ratings directly off the website (www.chess.ca) and it automatically updates in the database.
The idea is, the Access Database updates the ratings from the website, and then the user exports that data into the dbf file (players table) that is directly linked to the third party software.
I am looking for a way to use VBA code to either 1. Create/Overwrite the existing dbf file when exporting the tblPlayers, or 2. Append/Update the current dbf file with the updated ratings, and creating new entries when necessary when exporting the tblPlayers.
Unfortunately I have had little success in finding code to export to a dbf file, anyone have any ideas?

Hi!!
I am creating a dbase which can be accessed through a lan
Would like to know whether it is possible to have a chat window EMBEDDED into the dbase; whereby multiple users can chat and modify database accordingly....
Prob simple, but the access help doesnt offer much support
Your efforts will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Can u just create a small sample for the same??

Hello there,
I'm trying to develop a database for an organisation for their partners....see attached. I would like you to take a look and tell me if what I've done is the right thing. Secondly, (I'm just learning Access) I would like to have a query that give a count of 3 how many CBOs, how many NGOs; by 8 (location). Third. Is it possible to have (sub) grouped into expertise?
The mission and vision field was a multiple answers field, is this the way?
Thank you in advance,
Samia

Okay,
First I was thinking to write a little app in Access to work with a DBF file, that I assumed was a DBIII database. It was exported via a 3rd party software, and the primary interface up until this point has been Visual FoxPro. My problem is two fold:
1st:
When I tried to import it as a dBase III file, Access just closed. I mean, disappeared, no longer running, closed. I didn't even get an error message or anything.
So I tried to import via ODBC, using a "Machine Data Source" Microsoft Visual FoxPro Database (or table, either works) and selected the directory of the dbf file and selected the table listed once it scaned the directory and all imported fine.
So: If the Visual FoxPro Machine Data source worked, though I am confused why the DBIII driver just booted me, I am now concerned as to how I would write a connection string via DAO to access that dbf file at run time.
Basically I want to go to a static location on a network and access a dbf file, and perform query manipulations upon it. My connection will be READ ONLY to the actual DBF file and i would subsequently use MS Access to create any other relevant tables/queries based on the table in the dbf file. Since the Visual FoxPro MDS diver worked, do I need to write a connection string to access it, and if so, how would I do that?
Thanks

I'm trying to create a little dbase for personal keeping track of a number of companies I deal with, so that i store their details and also the products they distribute.
In more detail, I want to have 'fixed' product categories, which will be assigned to supplier, and each category will include the product models I have set, including their details (such as price, manufacturer, country of origin, etc).
My point is to be able to create several customised reports and listing:
1. All product models I have in a category including their details.
2. Report per supplier to view their details and the products they distribute
3. Certain product models in a list with their local distributor (companies I deal with).
I assume it involves a couple of many2many relationships, however I have created a file in MS Access but never managed to have it work properly.
Any1 have an idea, or template maybe?
Regards ;)

Hi,
I've searched the forum for a sample code on how to automatically shutdown database at a given time of the day, but i can't find any. There are lots of codes pertaining to inactivity / idle users but none on scheduled time.
My idea is to kick-off all users every 12:00nn, Monday to Saturday and then compact / backup database after.
I hope someone could assist me.
Thank you!
Sheila

I have been married for 36 years. I really don't want a diorce, but I think I might have to in order to get access to work for me. It appears to get the best way to get D base to work with access it to get divorced and remarried, ha. We have tried several ways to get import data into access from a Dbase IV file. We have tried by a Dbase import and a text delimined file import. We get a subcript out of range. There seems to be several issues here. One of them is if you have numbers in a dbase text field, and try to import them intp access, the documentation and access says we have to put quotes around the numbers. That didnt work.
Actually, rather than going into great detail of what we have tried, let me just tell you that we cant import the file. Can anyone help? We have the folling type of filds in dbase: date fileds, text field with numbers, and numeric fileds. Please help.
:mad:
Bob
P.S. I am happily married, so i would prefer not to go the marriage route with dbase.

I am trying to replicate a database for mobile working. When I attempt to 'create a replica' I get this error:
"MS Access can't convert to design master
Cannot make the Table "[TableNameHere]" object in tables container replicable."
The table in question is fairly large and has 248 columns and is linked to 3 other tables of similar size as well as 3 smaller ones. Got about 2000 or so records and set to cascade deleted and updated records. 248 columns should leave enough spare columns for replication though, shouldn't it?
Any suggestions as to what I should look for to fix this?

This mind sound like a pretty lame question to the pro's....
Is it possible to duplicate an Access database creating a new blank database - retaining only the database/table structure? I have a website content management system and I want to duplicate the database for each new site.
Also, is it possible to reset the 'auto-numbering' to zero?
Whilst I've build a reasonably advanced web-based system based on a database containing a dozen or so relational tables plus queries, I'm no expert on advanced Access functions.
Cheers!
Penny.

Hello everyone,
I frequnetly need to export tables for others to use. I export them as .csv files usually and I'd like a way to include what I call metadata in the .csv file.
ideally, it would appear on the top of the file before the comma-delimited data actually starts.
I can't figure out how to include the table field descriptions in a file.
any help?
thanks,

Hi everyone
I am just about to start a database project for the company. The last one I wrote was over 10 years ago in Borland's ObjectPAL and has served us well.
After doing quite some research I have decided (well... almost) to use Access as the basis for the new project as I need the most efficient and 'slick' solution in the speediest time-frame (don't we all!).
The downloadable Templates from MS seem actually quite good as a starting point, but we would need to 'glue' them together to prevent replication of clients, prospects, employees etc.
Has anyone had any success with doing this? For example, we would need to integrate Marketing Projects; Customer Service; Sales Pipleine plus our own custome stuff besides modifying these standard templates.
Looking forward to your replies
Regards

I've been asked by a friend to extract approx 50 images that are stored in a dBase 5 'DBT' file.
I know Access can import dBase 'DBF' files, but is there a way that I can use Access to import the data in the 'DBT' files and convert to jpg format?

Hi all.
I ave a table in access that has a column in the format single with auto setting for decimal places (I'm guessing this is 15 sig figs but I'm not too sure). What I'm trying to do is export this file as a csv so I can use it SAS. When I use the export function and select csv it truncates the data so all i get is 2 decimal places.
I can't export as a excel then rename as the file 1.4 million records long and so is too big for excel to handel. (I did try it anyway and it only exported the first 65000 rows).
I'm not an expert at all in Access, and would have little idea how to write any code that would allow me to do this.
Can anyone please help me as I urgently need to do this.
Thanks a lot.

Hi all, I use a d'base that exports a table via a query to Excel. Once the user hits the button to run this command it can take between 30 sec to 60 sec until the data is displayed in excel.
Does anyone know of anyway to speed this process up. Currently there are around 12,000 records with the table.
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "qryArchiveReport", acFormatXLS, "Archive.xls", True
thanks for looking:)

I am going to attempt to explain the problem:
I design a form and all my work is based on that form.
I have two tables which I join together as following.
The unfitex field is calculating using fields from both tables as shown below.
Dim db As Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim sqlstr As String
v = Combo37.Value
sqlstr = "SELECT postdecgor.N1, postdecgor.Age, postdecgor.UNFITpc, postdecgor.DECENTpc, postdecgor.HHSRSpc, [UNFITpc]*[sample]/100 AS UNFITex, postdecgor.DECENTex, postdecgor.HHSRSex, [Sample size].[Age dwelling], [Sample size].sample FROM postdecgor LEFT JOIN [Sample size] ON postdecgor.Age=[Sample size].[Age dwelling]WHERE ((postdecgor.N1)='" & v & "'); "
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(sqlstr, dbOpenDynaset)
Set Form.Recordset = rst
I then set up some textbox which shows the results as following.
N1.ControlSource = "N1"
Age.ControlSource = "age"
UNFITpc.ControlSource = "unfitpc"
DECENTpc.ControlSource = "decentpc"
HHSRSpc.ControlSource = "HHSRSpc"
UNFITex.ControlSource = "numunfit"
UNFITex.ControlSource = "unfitex"
DECENTex.ControlSource = "decentex"
HHSRSex.ControlSource = "HHSRSex"
It works, I can see the results on the screen, however I would like to save the results into a table and I am not quite sure how to go about it.
Can you help??
Thanks for your help

I've created a macro that will export one of my tables to a .csv. Everything is all fine and dandy, except that I need to find a way to have this command work on any computer. As of now, the command exports to C:UsersKodyDocuments, and can only do so because this path exists on my computer. But if I were to send this Access file to someone else to use, they would get an error stating that the specified path is not valid. Is it possible to create a general export directory which would work with any computer this is ran on?

Hi guys. I'm a bit of a noob with Access. I have a table which is 15 rows by 250,000 columns. So there are about 3.75m records.
What I need to do is to get access to export a number of csv files automatically from this table.
I need each csv file to contain all the data in the table for a certain range of rows. This is determined by a value in a particular column. This is a sample of the table.
http://i30.tinypic.com/aljf5s.jpg
Basically Store_Nbr represents a UID for a particular store. All the data is currently in one big table, and I need a single csv file for each different store_nbr (so it contains all the data in the table for each unique store). Also, for each store_nbr, there are different Year Month of Surveys. For each store_nbr, I need a different csv file for each Year Month of Survey. This will probably divide up the 250,000 long table into about 200 csv files, as there are about 50 different Store_nbrs, and there are 4 surveys for each individual store.
Sorry if I've not made myself perfectly clear.
I'm sure there's a simple way of doing it, but I really do suck with access and was wondering if you guys had any idea.
Many many thanks!!!
Cheers

Hi,
I export a query as csv to upload to another database on a web site. When that csv file has been exported I'd like the query to be emptied, so that the next time I export I don't export duplicates. What's the easiest way to do that?
I've been thinking of having a field in the table with a check box that is checked when the file is exported. The query then selects only those records where that box is not checked.
But how can I check those boxes on Export rather than when I run the query? The reason being that I may want to preview by running the query, without having that affecting the check box.

I have an Access table say Tbl_People that looks like :
ID1-ID2-Name-Age-Location
xxx-yyy-Mike-25-Essex
uuu-vvv-Jack-32-Surrey
mmm-nnn-Bob-36-Newcastle
I want to transfer this data into another table say Tbl_Output with four columns in the format below:
xxx-yyy-Name-Mike
xxx-yyy-Age-25
xxx-yyy-Location-Essex
uuu-vvv-Name-Jack
uuu-vvv-Age-32
uuu-vvv-Location-Surrey
mmm-nnn-Name-Bob
mmm-nnn-Age-36
mmm-nnn-Location-Newcastle
In Tbl_Output's 3rd column, only the Columns names: Name, Age and Location are repeated for each person and not column names ID1,ID2 (only its data xxx,yyy etc. is required in columns 1 and 2 as shown).
I was helped by rpeare with a VBA module that gives a single column output in Tbl_Output as
Mike
25
Essex
Jack
32
Surrey
Bob
36
Newcastle
The code is:
Sub main()
Dim db As Database
Dim rstElements As Recordset
Dim sName As String
Dim sNumber As String
Dim sArea As String
Dim freefile
Dim Filenumber As Integer
Dim sSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rstElements = db.OpenRecordset("tbl_elements")
rstElements.MoveFirst
sSQL = "DELETE * FROM Tbl_Output"
db.Execute sSQL
Do While rstElements.EOF <> True
sName = rstElements.Fields(1)
sNumber = rstElements.Fields(2)
sArea = rstElements.Fields(3)
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Tbl_Output (OutputField) SELECT '" & sName & "'"
db.Execute sSQL
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Tbl_Output (OutputField) SELECT '" & sNumber & "'"
db.Execute sSQL
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Tbl_Output (OutputField) Select '" & sArea & "'"
db.Execute sSQL
rstElements.MoveNext
Loop
Set rstElements = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Sub
How can this be modified to get the required format data above? Thanks for any help in advance
