Hi.

I'd like to export only email addresses separated by ";" to a word document based on a result of a query.

Can anyone please give me advice how i should approch this issue.

Exporting Text File With Text Qualifier

Jun 26, 2007

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.............

How To Have Users Drag And Drop A Document Into A Text Box Within A Form

Jul 7, 2015

how to have users drag and drop a document into a text box within a form and have it create a hyperlink. What I need to know now, is if there is a way that when a file is dropped into the text box, it only shows the icon associated with that file, or at the very least, edit the hyperlink to only show a certain text. The files I need to see are all in a networked drive, so the hyperlink addresses can be quite long, and ultimately I'd just like the hyperlink to say "letter". Showing the icon would be a plus.

Exporting To Text

Jun 28, 2006

I am exporting a table into a text file. I have an intrest rate that is formatted in the table as as five characters past the decimal point xx.xxxxx. However, when I export it to a text file, I loose my 3rd through 5th position. Any ideas on how I can export to text and still keep all five positions past the decimal? The field is currently formatted as a double number in Access. Thanks for your input.

Exporting To A Text File

Mar 15, 2007

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

Exporting As Text Only 2 Decimal Places

Dec 12, 2005

I'm having a problem exporting my table as text and having three fields reporting only 2 decimal places instead of the 4 that i need.

I'm using Access 200 on Windows XP Pro.

I searched the forums and the only thing i could find was to create a querry and using ColumnName: str([dblNumber]) somehow. I don't really unerstand what they were trying to do except that somehow this converts the number to a string. This would work I guess, but I couldn't get it to work.

I have also read somehting about changing the fields in the MSysIMEXColumns table somehow to allow more decimal places in the exprted text file.

Thanks for helping.

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.

Tricks And Tips With Exporting Tbl/qry To Text

Jan 4, 2007

This is not a question.

I have recently been playing with exporting a query to a delimited text file and have learned some things along the way. Some of this is bound to be old-hat to some of you. However, I thought that it might be useful to post a summary of what I've learned for the benefit of others, like me, who may face some of the frustrations I've been dealing with.

Firstly, in order to export a query or table to a text format other than the default csv, you need to create what is called an 'export specification'. As has been mentioned elsewhere (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=59828&highlight=export+wizard)on this forum, you do this by clicking on the advanced button on the 'Export Wizard'. Pick the delimiter you prefer, click save as, and save the specification with a name that you can remember.

To use the specification in an export, you use the specification's name as the second argument in the DoCmd.TransferText method. (See access help for more detail)

However, things can go wrong!

Firstly, on some occasions, the export wizard fails to open thereby preventing you from accessing the specifications you have created or making new ones. This happened to me and it turns out that the reason was that some code I was running got interupted at one stage and DoCmd.Setwarnings was set to false when it happened. This prevents the export wizard opening for whatever reason.

The solution is to create a sub that sets DoCmd.Setwarnings to True and run it. (Credit to BobLarson here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=37696&highlight=export+wizard))

Secondly, you may get an error message saying 'too few parameters...expected #' where the # represents a number.

This problem seems to be caused by using a control in a form as a criteria in a query that you're trying to export.

One solution is to simply get rid of the form references in the criteria of the query (Credit Jon K (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=54237&highlight=export+wizard))

But if you need to keep the criteria reference like I did, the best workaround I came up with was to enclose each reference to a form control in the criteria of the query with an Eval("").

Thus, if I were wanting to use a control called 'mycontrol' on a form called 'myform' as a criteria, I would use Eval("[Forms]![myform]![mycontrol]") instead of just [Forms]![myform]![mycontrol] in the criteria line of the query.

Thirdly, you may encounter an error that helpfully says 'Invalid Argument'.

This is due to the presence of a numerical field in the table/query that has its fieldsize property set to 'Decimal'. This is a known bug with access 2000 and solutions can be found at Microsoft's knowledge base (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/263946).

In my case, I resorted to changing the fieldsize properties to Double instead of decimal, and deleted/re-created my export specification after the change and this solved the problem for me.

I hope this post is helpful for others.
Cheers! :D

Ok I have a db that list stats for many of NFL's Great players. I have created a form with a drop down combobox that list the players. The rest of the form displays the stats for that player.

Exporting Data To Particular Locations In A Text File?

Sep 30, 2007

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

Automatically Exporting Each Record To Separate Text Files

Aug 23, 2007

Hi all,

I've seen a lot of repeated questions from newbies about exporting to text, but so far I haven't come across a scenario like mine. Apologies if I've overlooked something.

I'm using Access 2003 and I have a database that contains a record for each article that appeared in a certain newspaper over the last 30 years (~70,000 records). Each record has a field for year, month, issue, page, title, and text. The text field contains multiple lines of HTML as well as the text of the article itself -- the program designed for viewing these articles calls on this field to create an html document that resembles the original newspaper page in the GUI.

What I would like to generate is a separate .TXT file for each article containing just the text of that article and a filename system that identifies each file by year, month, page, and possibly title (i.e., about 70,000 separate text files). I'm not sure if I want the title within the document or just in the filename, but I'm assuming that wouldn't be difficult to change.

In other words, I'm trying to work backwards, reconstructing the text files that the person who made the database probably has sitting on a disk somewhere (but I don't have access to).

I've read about using the TransferText method, setting up an export spec and looping it in VBA, etc., but the closest solution appears to be Microsoft's page on exporting records to separate HTML files (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA010345961033.aspx), which mentions: "You can create a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) program that enumerates through the record set and uses the PRINT statement to output each record as a separate HTML file." After doing this I guess I would batch convert from HTML to TXT. Unfortunately I am new to Access and don't know VBA.

Can anyone provide any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim

Memo Field Display & Convert Text When Exporting?

May 29, 2005

I use a memo field in a form. This memo field is used to store "steps" for doing something.

To keep things neat, I use ENTER between the steps so there is a blank line between each. This looks good in the form, however... I export this information (from the table) to a CSV/text file to use online. My online script requires that each record occupy only one line. But, the exported file has separated the "steps" into multiple lines just as it appears on the form.

I would like to use the HTML tag <BR> to separate the line feeds in the CSV file. I can enter these in the FORM instead of pressing ENTER, but then the form looks bad - harder to read.

Is this possible to do with code or filters or ??

Thanks for the help!
Mike

General :: Exporting A Query To A Tab Delimited Text File

Nov 26, 2013

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.
