G'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 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.
I am exporting a single record to a spreadsheet. The code I have works fine. The problem is I want to have the spreadsheet contain the information that is in one of the forms textboxes, in this case a dogs name.
I have created a query to get the dogs name which works but I dont know how to get that query to run and then be put in the file name.
The code that I have is below
Code: Private Sub btn_ExportDog_Click() Dim strday As String 'The date Dim sDest As String 'Where the file will be copied to Dim sSource As String 'The name of the file to be copied Dim strDogName As String 'The name of the dog that is geting exported Dim strBackUp As String strBackUp = "c:GPandDetectionDogTrainingLogBackUp"
I have recently been doing a lot of work on this area. Im able to export to where i want to and run macros through the VBA code inside of Access to edit the spreadsheets. This is ok if your making a new excel workbook/worksheet.
But what im stuck on is exporting to a so called template in excel. I can export to it at the moment but creating a new worksheet, in which i have to then cut and paste the data into the correct worksheets through code and then delete the worksheet that i had been working from (which is annoying because you have to confirm the deletion of this worksheet, which is why i couldnt really do the process this way).
What i want to know is there a specific way of telling the data you are exporting from a table/query/querydef to go into a certain worksheet and into a certain cell. For example; a list of names, i want all the Surnames to go into a worksheet called "Claim_Breakdown" and start from cell "A15" downwards until they have all been exported into the worksheet.
Anyone have any ideas on how i could achieve this? Thanks.
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.
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?
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 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.
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 have a database scheduled to run nightly. In this database I have a macro that runs a macro. I want one of the arguments to export "T_Update_Log" from the database to an excel file as part of it's nightly macro. When I use "Transfer Spreadsheet" in my macro, it creates a new worksheet in my excel file each night (for example: T_Update_Log1, T_Update_Log2, etc) Instead, I want it to overwrite existing one.
I have also tried "Export" command, but that throws a prompt asking if I want to overwrite the existing excel file. I cannot have any message prompts during my nightly task or else it will stop the whole process. Setting the Warnings to No does not stop this particular message prompt.
Hello - just joined today. I hope to be of some help to other users, but am kind of a newbie.
I have an excel ss that I regularly receive which needs to go into my access DB. I set up a macro with transferspreadsheet and that works, except for one problem. I have one field which is designed as text but has data that looks like numbers as well as data that looks like text. When I run the macro, the number-like data doesn't import as text (23602012345 imports as 2.3602e+010). FYI the field in access is already defined as text. Each time I import a ss, I am appending to the existing data in the table
I have tried formatting the excel column as text with no luck. If I remove the data that truly is text in that column (ABC1287567) and leave just the 236* data, and then format the excel column as text, it seems to work fine. It just doesn't like the mixing of the data...at least it seems to me.
Any ideas to avoid manual manipulation of my excel ss before running the macro would be very helpful.
I'm trying to import an excel spreadsheet into an access table. The excell spreadsheet was created using the access table( by using the 'analyze using excel' feature)
The problem is that I cannot import the updated excell spreadsheet. I get the error message.." An error occured while trying to import the file..the file was not imported"
i have to import sales figures from a branch to head office. the import facility in ms access 2.0 only allow for 1 table although the data that needs to be imported needs to be done into two tables. how would i be able to do that appending the data to a query already setup to bring in the data. it is just to import the data from the spreadsheet to the two different tables.
I'm trying to build a personnal budget application.
I need to build a form that looks like a grid.
On the first column, you will see the different budgets elements
On the top line (headers), you should see the different months of the comming year.
I already managed to build the necessary tables (with 2 keys in the table source for the form).
My questions are the following:
1) how can I build a forms that looks like a spreadsheet, proposing me every cells from the start (not only the cells that i have filled before)?
2) how can I make for this form to be dynamic ? This means that, if I add a budget element in the budget elements table, how can I make the form to be adapted automatically, adding a line under the others, for every months?
I have asked severall other forums, no one could answer me.
I have another question and hope you can help with.
On my form which gets informaiton from a query, I have among other fields an Account field. I have a query, Details, that provides details on the account field, the fields of the query include Account, invoices #s, invoice amounts e.t.c.
I would like to create a button on the form that would 1) take the account # showing on the current form and run the details query based on that account # 2) display the results of the query in a spreadsheet.
I have a linked spreadsheet. Access is not pulling certain records from the field DOD. The code I used is as followsSELECT final.[SSN P ], final.TXPD, final.[TC-530], final.[TC-150], final.[ DOD ], final.[ DOB ], final.[SSN S ], final.[TC-421], final.[TC-420], final.[TC-424], final.[TC-540], final.[LFRZ-RFRZ], final.[TC-590], final.[TC-591], final.[TC-594], final.[TC-599], final.[TC-290], final.[TC-291], final.[TC-300], final.[TC-301], final.[TC-976], final.[TC-977] FROM final WHERE (((final.[TC-530])="TC-530")) OR (((final.[TC-150])="TC-150")) OR (((final.[ DOD ])="dead")) OR (((final.[ DOB ])>1929 And (final.[ DOB ])<1986)) OR (((final.[SSN S ]) Is Not Null)) OR (((final.[TC-421])="TC-421")) OR (((final.[TC-420])="TC-420")) OR (((final.[TC-424])="TC-424")) OR (((final.[TC-540])="TC-540")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-AL")) OR (((final.[TC-590])="TC-590")) OR (((final.[TC-591])="TC-591")) OR (((final.[TC-594])="TC-594")) OR (((final.[TC-599])="TC-599")) OR (((final.[TC-290])="TC-290")) OR (((final.[TC-291])="TC-291")) OR (((final.[TC-300])="TC-300")) OR (((final.[TC-301])="TC-301")) OR (((final.[TC-976])="TC-976")) OR (((final.[TC-977])="TC-977")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-ALR")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-L")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-LBR")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-LBRK")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-LR")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-LRF")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-LRKF")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-LW")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-O")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-OLR")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-V")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-VL")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-VW")) OR (((final.[LFRZ-RFRZ])="-W"));
For some reason the DOB and DOD fields are not being recognized. Please help.
Anyone out there have any ideas on how to Import an Excel File (SPECIFIC worksheet) to an Access Database
I am looking to do this at the click of a button or when the database opens...
What I really want to do is...... Is there a way to import this into an already existing table. Delete the existing records and import the new records from the Excel Spreadsheet?
WE are starting at the very basics. We used the db Wizard to set up a db for us. Now we are trying to import the data as a csv file. We keep getting an error Field 'Field6' doesn't exist in destination table 'Contacts'. We have looked at both the excel file and the table in Access and we cannot figure out what is holding us up. Please be patient, we are learning by the seat of our pants
I need to import a spreadsheet via a button, I don't know the name of the sheet nor the location. I need to have the open dialog box appear. I tried the import code which will not work without a name and location.
I export data from a system to an excel spreadsheet, which is linked to my database. When I run reports in Access, is there any way to identify when the linked table was last updated? This would be useful to users if I could add a text box that shows "Data current as of" some date.
I have some code that imports an excel spreadsheet into access and creates a table. I recently received a new spreadsheet that has many sheets. I only need the data from one specific sheet, resources. How can I make adjustments to the code below so that only the data on the resources sheet is imported into a new table?
Code: Option Explicit Private Declare Function GetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias _ "GetOpenFileNameA" (pOpenfilename As OPENFILENAME) As Long Private Type OPENFILENAME
If I create a macro with a single entry consisting of Transferspreadsheet from a single Access table to Excel it exports perfectly. When I call Transferspreadsheet from VBA code it moves some of the data and puts them into seemingly random Excel spreadsheet columns why is this?
This issue first came about when we had to export a table with more than 65,000 records in and so I export using a table name "Sheet1" , "Sheet2" as needed but surely the table name that it comes from makes no odds?
to export a query to a spreadsheet. I am using this method as it seems to solve the problem of memo fields being truncated.
It seems however that using this method if the spreadsheet file already exists (and is of a differant structure) nothing happens and no error is thrown.
