Form Data Output To Text File
Jul 25, 2005
:confused: I've created a form within our company database which will track hardware/software requests. I'd like to create a macro, or add code to output the data entered into a notepad file. Nothing extraordinary. I'd like for it to be like this:
Ticket: XXXXX
Employee: xxxxx
Reason for Request: xxxxx
Quantity:xxxxx
Part Number:xxxxx
Price:xxxxx
Shipping:xxxxx
Total:xxxxx
Those are the headings of the fields and x's denote entered data. I'd like to keep the headers and have the entered data as well. Is it possible?
Thanks to all for your help

Could anyone help with a simple answer please ?
I have an Access db that schedules the sending of emails with attachments.
I run a query on the table that returns all active users
I then need to create a separate file for each active user - in the format as shown below.
Each file is called "ddmmXX.epe"
- where dd=day,mm=month,XX=sequential number starting 01.
The file needs to be formatted ascii text file.
The file extension must be .epe
FORMAT:text
TO:{email}
FROM:{from}
CC:{cc}
SUBJECT:{subject}
ATTACHMENT:{attachment}
BODY:{Message}
All the fields within the {} are fields in the Access table
Each file must then be saved to a directory c:mailout
(eg C:mailout141201.epe)
Sample file would look like this:
FORMAT:text
TO:{harry@aol.com}
FROM:{Mat@abcde.com}
CC:{peter@aol.com}
SUBJECT:{Daily Newsletter}
ATTACHMENT:{c:mailews.zip}
BODY:{Please find attached today's newsletter}
Can anyone help - it would be much appreciated, as I am still learning the slightly more advanced methods of VBA.
Thanks

Hi all! I'm not sure if this is the correct area to post this in, but hopefully it is!
I have a Microsoft Access database, and I need to output the content of one of the tables in a specific format-the table contains a Name field, a Description field, a URL field and an Alt Text field, and I need it to end up in a text file in this format:
NAME|DESCRIPTION|URL|ALT|
Where each line of the text field is a different product, and the content of each field is separated by the | symbol (whose name escapes me right now).
Anyone that can help?

I have researched on here how to print the results of a query to a text file. I put the code in and I get an error on the openrecordset line. The error says "too few parameters, expected 4"
I tried the query in another report I export to excel and the query works.
I tried printing the whole table using "Select * from tbl_Customers" and it works????
Here is the code:
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qryBell1", dbOpenSnapshot)
Dim fs, TextFile
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set TextFile = fs.CreateTextFile(pathname, True)
[Code] ....
the query returns 6 fields for printing and can filter based on whether 3 fields are filled or not on the form - Date, Campaign, Status

I'm working with Access 2010 and am trying to use the transferspreadsheet command to output data in a query to an Excel 2010 format file. Here is the line of code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "q_calldetails_tmp", "c: emp estoutput.xlsx"
It works fine and produces the output file but when I try and open it with Excel I get an error saying the format is incorrect. If I change the extension to .xls it opens with no problem but I need it to be an Excel 2010 format with correct extension.

I'm currently working on a project within access which will allow users to select/input information in a form which will then save to the database.
What I need is to create a button on the form which will allow you to convert the data collected from the form to a custom text file template.
(Or maybe the last row added to the database. - although this may cause errors. Example: the form information doesn't save which will in turn create a text file with the data collected from the previous job)
The custom text file template should have a sentence description followed by the value recorded from the form.
Example:
1 configuration type: (data from form)
2 model type: (data from form)
3 Poc: (data from form)
And so on.
So in summary - I would be to use the form to collect the desired information which will save to the database.
Once actioned, a custom text file should be populated with the collected information (with specific data placement as per the example above)....

I've been working on creating a database for a Physical Therapist that will store patients information and information on past appointments (including the amount of money paid per appointment). I created a form that he can then easily select the patient and their D.O.B. and insurance carrier will show up.
But I need to create a way that when he then selects the treatment received for the appointment that the correct payment amount will show up and be recorded as well. The reason this is an issue is because for each insurance there is a different cost per treatment.

I am having a problem getting Access to output to an excel file.
I want to take a form that I have that has 20 or so records with 6 or 7 fields for each and put it into an excel file that is formated the way I need everythign to look.
I also need it to make the file name such as CCCAAAMMDDYYYY (3 letter company abbreviation,3 letter initials and then todays date) I am thinking that the company abbreviation will be pulled from a query, then initials will be a form that opens, and the date can be pulled from access' date function.
I tried using vb code and doing an output to comand but that did not work.
I am confused someone please help if possible.

Hello, all.
I haven't worked with access in about 2 years, so I'm a bit rusty. I was wondering, what is the easiest way, if any, to output an image stored in an OLE object field to a file, like a bmp to be edited say in paint or something via VB code?

I am using a where condition on printing records from a form to restrict output to the current record. I would also like to write the current record only to a file (rtf). Have set up an output to file button which works but writes all records and there is no code option for a where condition.
I can live with this as it is only for backup but a report per record would be a neater solution.
Is this possible anyone know?

Hi Guys,
I have 2 tables
tblXRFResults
ResultID
SampleName
Date
SampleDate
a few others not necessary in this
and tblXRFResultsConcentration
ResultID (many records linked to 1 record in tblXRFResults)
Concentration
CompoundName
What I need to set up is a query that will allow me to generate a report that will give an excel like format, with the column headings being the SampleName, followed by the CompoundName(s) from the other table and the "rows" will be corresponding sample name and concentrations.
I am sure this is pretty easy, but I am stumped!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to print a report file from a database into PDF format.Currently I am using a macro with a "where condition" to select the particular file which currently outputs to the default printer. Converting the macro to VBA reads as follows:
DoCmd.OpenReport "Receipt - full pay new", acViewNormal, "", "[ConsultID]=[Forms]![Payment Record Type]![ConsultID]"
However, if I do an output to PDF file as below, I can't insert a "where condition" to pick the specific file. Instead, it outputs the whole unfiltered report which is 12,000 pages and 29 MB!
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport,"Receipt - full pay new",acFormatPDF,"C:AccessReceiptPDF.pdf"
How to combine the 2, i.e. have the "where condition" to select the particular report page, but output to a PDF file in a selected directory.

I currently have an invoice report that runs through my database which is e-mailed to clients (automatically through vba), and then saved to a specific file path.
I'm currently having an issue with the saving part of the process with certain clients who have illegal characters in their names - for example, "Client / Other Information" where the '/' is causing the save to fail.
I'm trying to find a way to change the file name of the save file for clients with these illegal characters in their names. I would prefer not to take only part of the name (as some clients are listed as "Town/Village of...") but if there is no other way then there is no other way.
The code I'm currently using is as follows:
Code:
Dim strFilePath as String
strFilePath="C:Users" & Environ("UserName") & "DesktopNew Invoices" & Me.Client.Value & ".pdf"
docmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, , "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", strFilePath, False, "", 0, acExportQualityPrint

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

Hi
At the moment I am trying to send data ( a query) to a CURRENT Excel file, I do not want it to replace the current file but instead just update the cells of that file to the new values calculated in Access.
Is it possible to do this?
Cheers all

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

I've had a look through the many topics on text importing, but can't find anything specific to my problem.
One of our suppliers has started offering their catalogue as a CSV file via e-mail. For now, I am saving the file to my computer, and wanting to import it into a database.
the table is a bit awkward, as it has "useless" data in the first field. Here is the beginning of one as an example:
VIP Computer Centre Ltd. Trade Price List. 22 August 2006 3:37 PM
ORDER CODE,PROD GROUP,DESCRIPTION,WTY,BOXED IN,1 OFF,5 OFF,20 OFF,UNIT
7719-C,BAREBONE SYSTEMS,JW MINIQ 430AV INSTANT-ON B/B,0,1,50,49.75,49.25,EACH
I imported the data via the Get External Data feature into a new table. This worked fine. I then changed a couple of values, and re-imported the data, this time selecting to import it to the new table. It came up with an error, saying 295 records were lost due to key violations. I then realised that this only appended the data on the end of the table, which isn't what I want.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
The field names are created from the titles in row 2 of the CSV file
The table is updated by importing the latest CSV file, so that any price alterations are changed, and any new products added (but identical data is ignored). If one field is needed as a constant, this would be the ORDER CODE field
Field 2 (PROD GROUP) becomes a combo list box (probably based on another table - so the table contains the categories, e.g. BAREBONE SYSTEMS, and the text from the CSV file is converted to the appropriate ID number)
Is any of this possible? If so, how?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

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.

I have a query that runs based on a parameter a user selects on a form.
I want to dynamically create the sendobject file name based on the parameter the user selects.
Example:
My form has a parameter named medicine. When the user checks the checkbox next to medicine it runs a query for records labeled as medicine but sends the e-mail output as the query name. I want something like medicine.txt etcc...
thanks

I want to extract specific data from a text file and place it in my table.The following is an example of the data:
Display Author="All Saints" Title="On & On" Genre="Pop" Color="7693971" Tag="2"
I want to extract the following:
Where the word Author= appears to extract the data between the double quotes, so in the above case I want to extract "All Saints" excluding the double quotes.And then where Title= appears extract "On & On", again excluding the double quotes.So I would end up with data in my table looking something like this
strArtist [Author] strSong [Title] strGenre [Genre] strYear [Year]
All Saints On & On Pop
America Venture Highway Rock 1972
Amillionsons Misty Blue Pop 2002
my table is name tblMusicList, the fields are:
strArtist
strSong
strGenre
strYear

Here is the import statement I'm using:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "IT315 Import Specification_txt", _

I can manually transfer the data ie thru File --> Get External Data etc but I can't seem to get the above statement to work --- with the same specification!!

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 have a table. Also i have a text file which some of the fields are matching with my table fields ( lets say field A and B ). Now, i need to do compare of these A & B of my table against A & B of the text file and give a result as follows;
1. "Field A" not in the table but in the text file (un-matching data to be shown )
2. "Field A" not in the text file but in the table (un-matching data to be shown )
3. "field B" mismatches

hello once again,
I need to import a text file into an existing table in Access. The text file has been imported once and is working well and everything. However, since I had to change some of the datatypes to be able to query the table correctly, I now cannot import the text file anymore unless I change the datatype of the table itself. Since someone other than I will be doing the imports from here on out, changing the datatypes everytime is out of the question. I was looking at the TransferText event, but I didn't seem to see anything about converting data types. I can think of two options, and neither are probably possible:
1. import using the wizard. Since I didn't see anything related to the types of data, I don't think this will work...
2.import using TransferText. This doesn't seem to give me any opportunity to change the datatypes either. Is there anyway to programmatically change datatypes, or is there possibly an easier way that I'm overlooking??
thanks in advance,
*j
