Forms :: Access 2010 - Importing RECORD Consisting Of Fields Of XLS Data
Mar 12, 2014
I inherited a defective Access 2010 and am now attempting to import a RECORD consisting of fields of xls data.
I am attempting to import from an existing Form Datasheet so that it overwrites (or appends the new data to the datasheet) from another identical Form Datasheet because it contains an additional 1000 contacts in it.
I have resulted to Using an .mdb file from over a year ago because the current .mdb keeps hitting "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object (Error 3011)"
My initial opinion is that the more recent .mdb it is corrupt.
I have staff table which is a lookup field on the phone call table.when the phonecall form opens I want the employee field to auto fill in the employees name from the lookup field according to there security level.so something like this
On Open Select Case Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) Case X = 4'the employees security level' Case X = Insert Table_tblPhoneCalls!EmployeeID"4" into Form_frmPhoneCalls!Employee. End Select
of course this is a syntax error as I do not know the correct code words.
I have been trying to import Outlook (2010) floders into Access 2010. So far, I have only been able to import 1 folder at a time. I have also tried linking the access database to Outlook, not much luck there.What I was wanted to do was import the pst / ost file into access and then work from there.is there a way to import the Inbox and all sub-folders at one time.
I have a spreadsheet that I'd like to import into Access 2010 however prior to the import, I'd like to delete some of the rows in the spreadsheet.The spreadsheet only has one workbook.It will likely always be rows 1-10.I have already set up the Excel 14.0 Object reference, if that's even necessaryHow can I accomplish this using either VB or query?
I am trying to create a database to manage IT assets, most of the structure is done, I'm now trying to get the details done.
The issue I am currently trying to tackle is to get a control button on one form to create a new record in the sub form that sits in the main form via another pop-up form.
So I have :
>PeripheralsViewForm - that has 4 control buttons (Edit Quantity, Edit Description,Add an Item and Exit)
>> PeripheralsSubForm - (Datasheet) which is referenced to PeripheralsQuery
The Edit Quantity and Edit Description open a separate form which allows the user to update only the quantity or description respectively (I have done it this way rather than allowing edits in the data sheet as I feel that it is too easy to hit a key incorrectly and overwrite data in the datasheet view) Both of these functions work perfectly (to my amazement) - I am using the id field in the subform to link to the pop-up form which then has unbound text input boxes, which I then write back to the subform.
e.g from edit button on click event: DoCmd.OpenForm "perquantform", , , " ID=" & Form.PeripheralsSubForm!ID and then from the pop-up form "perquantform" on the "Exit & Save" button I have :
This allows the user to select the record in the datasheet form and then click either the change quantity or description button.Also also the other reason I did it this way was because I just couldn't get the subform to requery when I had the two edit popups linked to the table or query.
The problem now is that when I click on the "Add an Item" button, it overwrites whatever record is currently selected !
The code I have is this:
From the "Add an Item" button on click action: DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms!peripheralsViewForm!PeripheralsSubForm.Form! , acNewRec DoCmd.OpenForm "addperform"
And from the form "addperform" - "Save & Exit" button on click action:
the line "DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms!peripheralsViewForm!PeripheralsSubForm.Form! , acNewRec" is what I have added to try to solve the overwrite issue, but when I run this it comes up with the error :
"runtime error 2498 - An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"
I have put this line in the "addperform" exit action and it comes up with the same sort of error.
I'm having difficulty getting my import to work... when i call on the original XML file I get too many tables... when i call on the XML file using the transform function of Access with the XSL file it gives me only two tables "body" and "tr". Body contains the value "Weather" and tr contains the value "Day".
Import the day as month/day/year into a field "Day" in access table "WeatherSFCAL"
Import the Fahrenheit temp from the high section into the field "High" in access table "WeatherSFCAL"
Import the Fahrenheit temp from the low section into the field "Low" in access table "WeatherSFCAL"
I am having difficulty importing a large txt file into my database, due to the first column containing a * prefix. normally i would just go through the document and delete it, but this file is quite large at over 100k records.
Is there anyway of importing this file in access 2010 and telling access to ignore the first column?
I am relearning Access and having a little difficulty. I am creating a Access database that links tables from an I series system which I have done trouble free. In the database I have pulled up for example a patient demographic file (hospital). I have form frmSearch that prompts the user to enter the medical record number OR they can search by name. I have a query that takes that information then loads a 2nd form to display the query results in a list box. I would like to be able to click on one of the results from the 2nd form to then load another form that will display all of the patient information that was selected.How do you set this up so that with the results shown, I can click on one of them and it will load that patient into another form pulling the rest of his or her information from the table file?
I have a form with 3 tab controls. Within each tab, there is a bound list box that lists records based on a combo box selection. All list boxes are bound to the same table and records in each tab will be in the same order.
I would like the same record be selected in each list box within the tabs, e.g. when record #2 is selected on tab1, the same record will be selected on tab2 and tab3, or if I click on tab 2 again and change the selection to record #3, record #3 will be selected on tab1 and tab2.
I have a simple data entry form where I can key the "row", "COLUMN", SPACE "a" and space "B" onto an access 2010 table. Is there a way that if I key the same four fields, e.g., A5AB that I get a message back before updating telling me that combination already exists?
I do generate a calculated data field, which in this case would be "a5ab" and which is displayed on report screens. Could the value of this calculated field be stored on the Table and be used to prevent the same value from again be entered on the Table?
I have continuous form in Access 2010 and I would like when user will click on record, the image, for instance, imgTest become visible for that record. But for other records the image not visible. How it to do?
I have created a member data base form in Access2010.
That has been populated with 366 member records
I have two text box fields that are currently free type fields, Member Type & Member Status.
What is the best way I can change these to show only the relevant options:
i.e. Member Type ( Full, Family, Pensioner, Life. ) Member status ( Current, Lapsed, Deceased)
I have tried to right click the field but the "change to" option is greyed out & not available.
I have also tried to insert a combo box or list box to show these options. The "use control wizard" option has been highlighted but when I drag either a combo box or list box into the form. the wizard does not activate.
How to update data from one table to another table using form.
I have data coming from design team in Database 1 and using form i want search data and assign the job to a person and store it in the database with his name. I have to do this because database from design team is read only.
i'm using Access 2010 and i created a main form , from which i want to let users to open new table with fixed fileds and rows, also the name of the table will be as per user choice. so if a user want to open new table from the main menu, he will have the choice to press on a command button and a dialoge box will ask to name the table. the new table will then be open with the same fileds and rows names( name only) . the new table will be edited using a form.
I need to make a filter by using Macro in Access 2010..So in "Where Condition" I should put an expression belong to the poth of the fields. I now how to use "Where condition" but only for one field like below :
What I want to do is have the SQL printout list all the fields in a table that I have already created. Also how would I enable SQL view? Im new to Access.
There is a form which the user fills in 8 fields and saves it. Once saved, a new record opens.
However, I want to modify the save button to save the previous record and display a new record with only a limited no of fields to display from previous record, say 4 fields display from previous record, and the user fills the remaining 4 and saves it. Thus, the save cmd should continue to display 4 fields from the previous record.Already tried below code for save button but it displays all data of previous record as it is, doesn't display blank space for combo.118 and text2
I have a form bound to a table which has 20 (name)fields and 1 date per record. A user fills in this form first to indicate which people are present this day. I know it would be better to use 1 name per record but that would in this case not work since the form must show all names for that day before saving and closing.
I have a different form where I use 4 combo boxes and a date field. The values that can be selected in the combo boxes should come from the 20 names on the first form and with the same date as the other form. So only 4 people of the 20 indicated as present on that day can be selected to have performed some task.
I know how to select with a combo box from different records, but how would I do it from different fields in the same record? And then also for a particular date?
I am trying to find an average of four fields in either a form or query. Basically I have figures for [Grade 1], [Grade 2] but [Grade 3] is an empty field. I need to include all three field because there are sometimes 3 grades, but a majority are 2 grades. How to do so?
For some reason our database keeps "not responding" ...
The application stops responding when:A field is selected that has a input mask
A combo box is highlighted (forcing the drop-down menu to open)
Certain buttons are pressed (in fact all but two trigger not responding, why the two buttons are immune)
if I put a break point on a section of code that runs when I press a button (any button, it doesnt matter) and I then press the button which takes me to VBA, to the break point. Then I press F5 to continue to run the code until the function ends (essentially doing nothing, just running the code to the soonest break point I can in the function and then running the rest of the code as normal...) it all works fine again!!!!
I fixed the issue by creating the function:
Code: Sub aiuewjgaop() End Sub
saved the database, deleted the function and then saved the database again.
Man I thought this would be simple, but it quite clearly isn't!
I have a .csv file that contains around 250 email addresses. I simply want to import these into an Access table, each email creating a new record!
NO using the import function only seems to allow you to import data as long as each separate piece of data is on field in a record! I understand whent this might be the case, but why the hell can I not import it so each piece of data is a separate record in the table!!!!!!!!!!!
Please note I understand some sort of complex query may do it, but I am not that experienced with that yet and so don't know how it's done!
Please can anyone offer a simple solution? From where I am sitting, there does not appear to be one!!!!
