I am about to start creating a db where the client wants me to afterwards make a template which at the click of a button in a form they will be able to select that file and it will directly import it into the correct fields i set it to.
View RepliesHello All,
I thought i would ask this question an how to import data from excel into access.
I am using sage to invoice clients and i can output this in to excel format then i would like the best and simplest way to pull the data though into access.
The data file has column headings at the first row ie A1 though to J1 and after this is the data, i have a table setup with the relivent table names, I had thought how easy this would be, but as always this was not the case.
The outputed excel sheet will vary in location so i think i need a diolog box to select the file and then some how link it to extract the data, is this right and if so how can it be achived.
Any thoughts
Alastair

I have a few problems and I want them to be able to be done from switchboard:
1. Is there a way for me to export a particular report (after selecting it) to a closed excel template, that is formatted? It would open the excel template (that has a logo and column headings), export data to below the column headings, then save the file with a unique name?
2. Also, a way to import data from an excel file, after allowing the user to select file? Only data below the column headings mentioned above. Same data will be appended to existing table.
One of the managers has requested to set up a form to enter the date at the top of the form and then enter in data for all the plants below for that day. I thought I could just use a form/subform combo with the date (and any other information repeated to all the plants), but the catch is, he wants a list of the plants to automatically populate when he enters a date.
The table would look something like this:
Form
Date
---------------------------------------
Subform (with all Plant names pre-filled for this date -- same list each time--and allowing him to fill in Sales and On Time Delivery).
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery
Indianapolis
Detroit
Memphis
Tampa
Example with data
Form
4/20/2015
---------------------------------------
Subform
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery
Indianapolis_____$100000 (manually entered)_______95% (manually entered)
Detroit_________$120000 (manually entered)_______98% (manually entered)
Memphis_______$130000 (manually entered)_______99% (manually entered)
Resulting in table records:
Date----------Plant---------Sales--------------On Time Delivery
4/20/2015____Indianapolis_____$100000_______95%
4/20/2015____ Detroit________$120000_______98%
4/20/2015____ Memphis_______$130000_______99%
I usually would just create a sub-form with drop-downs for the plant names, but I've never started with a pre-defined list of records.
I downloaded a time clock template the other day and Ive been tweaking it for a while now. There is one thing I can't figure out:
There is a form called frmClockOut, which is a subform on frmClockIn.
This subform appears after the ClockIn button is clicked. The problem is, if I close the database for any reason, and leave someone clocked in, the ClockOut button does not appear until after you re-click ClockIn.
The developer has put in a safety so that it does not "double-punch" someone in or out so its ok there. Id just rather keep this subform open or always showing and cannot figure out where its done on here.
I will upload the blank template that I tweaked.
Is there a way to add fields to template tables/forms? The table will only show in datasheet view; design view isn't an option...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an access form. It has
-Two textboxes with client first and last name
-Two textboxes with a contact 'email1' and 'email2' for the client
-A combobox with a list of templates to use for the email.
-A checkbox to include a copy of the statement on the email.
I want the user to be able to press a button which does the following
-Sends an email to both 'email1' and 'email2'.
-Attaches a secific report as PDF if the user has selected the checkbox
-The body of the email includes a greeting line using the clients name from the record.
-The body of the message includes below the greeting line a html email template depending on the users combobox selection.
i have a form that contains a combobox and textbox.i want according to combobox choice a fixed template to be populated in the textbox and then can be edited (delete and add more text as needed) without changing the original template

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).
The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "Activitate", filename, True
gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.
Here's the code:
Sub ImportActivitate()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename's
Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files
Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
[code]....
Also, how can I make the routine stop cycling through the files after I renamed them all?
I want to make a database of diseases (need to learn them for school and would like a serchable database on my smart phone for future reference).
Unfortunately spent a lot of time making hundreds of pages of word tables before i realized a database would be better. See attached image or pdf. Is there a way to import the tables to Access?
I need to preserve the hierarchic info in the nested bullet point lists. E.g. under treatment i might have a point called Acute treatment, with sub-levels, Step 1, Step 2, etc. with their own sub-levels. I need to maintain this relational hierarchic info.
I have updated my copy of a database which included updates to a number of forms. I now want to import those changes into the proper database, so I used the Import function. I didnt get any errors when I imported everything, but the forms do not work as they did in my copy of the database.
One of the forms that dont work comprises of a number of drop down boxes, I have updated these so that the user has a filtered selection, to do this I put an SQL function in the Row Source property. This SQL function has been copied over correctly in the imported form, in fact when I go into the form in design view to check this fact then revert it back to normal view (after having not changed anything) it then works and all the other drop down boxes that didnt work on that form now work! How can viewing a form in design view and not changing anything make it now work?
So I could go into each form in the design view, check the Row Source property, then revert back to normal view and it would solve the problem of my forms not working, but, this database that I am importing the forms into is the back end of a split database and the first thing that the front end of the database does is import the changed objects into its database but the forms dont work.I have made changes in this way before and not had any problems before.
Table name :TblMain
Field 1 : Bkg_Number (text)
field 2 : Container no (text)
Field 3 : Size (text)
Field 4 : Weight (number)
Table Name : TblBooking
Field 1 : Bkg_NUmber(text)
Field 2 : Customer (text)
field 3 : Vessel (text)
Field 4 : Voyage (text)
field 5 : Ttlcntrs (number)
First feeding data in the Tblbooking and creating a booking number. In the same time enters Total containers (ttlcntrs) for the booking. Then, importing some data to Tblmain by using Excel. Booking number is one of the columns importing. My question is, if number of records in the excel file, exceeds the number of total containers (Ttlcntrs) defined in the Booking table, error msg should be given and stop the import process.
I have a fill-in pdf form, with fields that match database table fields. My database is in SQL, but I use Access for the forms and reports.
The users will go on-site (and be offline), fill out the pdf forms a bunch of times and come back with a folder of them.
I am looking for a way to have a form where a user can choose a folder (maybe on an access form) and say "import PDFs" and then have all the data in the PDF forms import to the table. A lot of other stuff has to happen in that process (checking the project number on the form, assigning an ID tag for that item, etc).
I have requirement to automate the process to load .CSV files onto MS Access on daily bases. I am new to MS Access.
Note: No other technologies are used like JAva, C#, etc.
I have comboboxes on forms that i have entered the values for the drop down list in.They are on a form with textboxes and go through a one to many relationship via an intermediate table.I deleted one value from the list as it was no longer required and i also deleted the records that used to use that name.
When i looked at the list, the value is still there?I tried inserting a new Combo Box - the same?Will it clear if i create a new blank Database and import everything?
I wanna create a button in form which can allow me to import database and when i select my file , i can select just the variable that i need .
View 2 Replies View Relatedi am trying to add an import command button to a form so that personnel not familiar with Access can simply push the button and then select the file to import. I want it to import information to a specific table by replacing all records in the current table with the import. I am not the best at coding, but I can understand enough to figure out what I may need to do.
I will be exporting a table to excel from the database. Multiple people will have this database and often times will not be able to access a shared database, so I need to export the table and then set up a way for them to import the excel document into their database by deleting the information in the old one and then updating to the new one.

I simply have no idea how to make something this simple happen. Any ideas?
