I have a field in a table that we copy the text from an email into so they can be associated with a client. These could be many paragraphs.
All is fine when I copy right from the email in Outlook into the field in Access. The email is copied exactly as it looks.
To make my life "easier" I do multiple at a time by copying the info into Excel and the copying multiple records into the Access table at once. Saves me having to keep searching for what client the record should be attached to.
But when I do this second method the email in the Access field looks like one big long sentence. Kind of makes it difficult to read at a glance.
I copied the data out of the Access field and into word to check if the returns were still there. They were.
I'm guessing that it has something to do with when I copy it into Excel the individual lines are no longer returns but line breaks. And then Access gets confused.
If not, I'll just instead of putting them in Excel I'll put them directly in Access from now on.
I've done this time and time again with no issues...but now I'm getting a message when I try to paste in 1918 records, it only sees 983...says my clipboard may be damaged or the data on the clipboard is corrupt, any clue why?
I have linked a SQL table using ODBC and using access to plug in data.
I exported two new forms I created to 2nd database and for some reason ALL the forms I had in the 2nd database were deleted!!! I don't understand why this happened because I have done this before and the forms in my 2nd database were never deleted.How can I get the forms I had in my 2nd database back??
how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.
I have encountered PC Lockdown when I tried this onClick Code. I am trying to post a data from MSAccess field into a specific cell in Excel. The Excel File is formatted already as document. It is submitted for Attendance records. But I couldn't find the problem and fix to automate it properly.
Code: Private Sub cmdRequery_Click() On Error GoTo Err_AttSum Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
I have 260 access files (12 data tables in each file). I want to extract table with name of "Borrower" and "Ledger Recovery" from DB to excel. The end result i need is to consolidate all 260 tables of "Borrower" in one excel sheet and all 260 tables of "Ledger Recovery" in one excel sheet.
I added a command button to get one of my access reports to export to excel. The process works perfectly on my computer, but when my colleague runs the report on a different computer and tries to use the button, an error comes up that says "can't complete the output operation" (runtime error 2587).
I've tried to find a solution online, but most of those are geared toward having a full version vs. runtime, and that is not an issue here. Both my colleague and I have full versions, and we are both using Access 2010 and Excel 2010. I just tested on another colleague's computer and it works fine.
From Excel 2007 to Access 2007 I want to keep my Access database sync with my Excel SpreadSheet. I not to often change Excel but when I do Access will be updated.
Error #: -2147217887 "Field cannot be updated."
My connection string works fine and recordset is up and running!In my Excel file:
Code:
rs.MoveFirst For k = 1 To Sheets("2013").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row - 4 If rs!Index <> k Or rs!total <> Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 5).Value Then rs!Index = Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 1).Value rs!DatePaid = Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 2).Value rs!WhatPaid = Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 3).Value
i have access 2013 and when i try to export data to excel with "Analyze data in excel" when the file is open i excel i get this error message file error: some data may have been lost". (and a whole row has not been export)
i tried to fix this file with excel open and repair option and i click on "extract data" but then i got this message; Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted. Excel found errors that may cause some recovered data to be put in the wrong cells.
So I've just started with a company where my job is to manage a ton of data. I am new to Access (2010) and am completely impressed by all the awesome things it can do. However, I am running into some issues with knowing the best way to get my current data (which is all in Excel spreadsheets) into Access.
We are working with about 68 customers in 6 different focus areas (or areas of improvement). To make it easier for them, my company has not required them to enter all their data for each area into a centralized database. Instead, we are pulling reports (into Excel) from 3 different databases. The customers who are not currently submitting data to these databases are sending us Excel spreadsheets with their data (they send a seperate spreadsheet for each focus area). So you can see where my problem lies ... NOTHING is the in the same format. Even then the Excel spreadsheets look different from month to month (and customers submit a new, updated form every month with the current month and previous months) because the people managing the data before I came along changed the format a few different times and the customer has the ability to change them too.
Basically, I would really really really like to be able to just link the Excel files to my database, but I am struggling knowing how to do that with my data in so many different places and forms.
I have an excel spreadsheet linked to a table n Access. I have phone numbers that I would like to transfer. I set a format in Excel that made it automatically change to the (###) ###-####, but when I look on the table in Access it shows up ###-#######.
I have made a access database which captures new booking information and i then want to export this to a pre-existing excel doc which has formulas in which will work out how long it took my team to process it.
So my question really is to see if it possible to just keep adding data to an excel doc that i have created?
how to export Access' many-to-many relationships in excel.
My database is a Project portfolio management tool. One project has many different fields, some of which can only be single values (one-to-one, easy to export to excel) and many others are multiple values fields, built as many-to-many relations (through junction tables).
One usage that was not specified at database creation time was the ability to export the portfolio to excel, so non-access-savvy users can browse, filter, sort and play with the portfolio however they want.
If I build a report, it will contain as many sub-reports as there are junction tables, rendering it un-exportable to excel. A Form would have to be continuous, barring the use of sub-forms for the m2m relations.
Building a query will generate many lines per project (as many as the most populous multiple field), making the excel sheet nearly unusable (in my users opinion, and here, the client's the king).
The best route I have been exploring so far involves "transforming" the multiple fields, so a the different "rows" become additional "columns".
I would like to use the "Collect and update via email" function within MS Access 2010 which sends out and collects emails. I know how to use this function, but what I would like to do is something slightly different. Instead of emailing out a data entry "form" that has the employee/team member enter information for data collection purposes about their project, status, start date, end date, priority, tasks, etc. Instead, I would like send an Excel/Access table with all of the current project information displayed in the email data collection form and then have the employee reply to the email and overtype edits to displayed information and then have those changes automatically entered into my table. For example, one project table can have up to 50 rows and then column headers such as project status, start date, end date, priority, task description, etc.
I have a excel file and want a button in the sheet which would transfer a certain range of data in a defined excel sheet to an existing access db table. How to do about doing that.
I am working on a project where I need to upload selected data from multiple sheets of an excel file. Here is an example of what I want.
1. I want to create a table in Access with around 10 columns 2. Column 1 should be populated with the date field found in A2 cell of sheet 1 of the excel file 3. Column 2-5 should be populated with the columns B2-E200 in sheet 2 of the excel file. 4. Columns 6-7 would be populated based on values from columns 1-2 of the table. Basically Column 6 should be Column 1 date plus 60 days. 5. Column 8-10 would be user generated after the excel is imported and the user should have the ability to attach around 5 files to each row.
Is there any way how to create reliable link between Excel and Access which would work reversibly? I mean, if I change the data in Access (table) they will change in Excel spreadsheet and conversely?
I need to import an excel file every week into Access. The file is always saved in the same folder called "Current" however the file name changes week to week because of a date and time stamp.
For example this week the file is named:
Weekly_Internet_Order_Matchup_Converted_Channel_Su mmary_20120721_080603 next week it will be Weekly_Internet_Order_Matchup_Converted_Channel_Su mmary_20120728_074452
Is there a way for me to import the file by ignoring everything after the "y"?
I need to get an email address from a field and place it onto another form.. HOWEVER I dont want it as a hyperlink, nor do I want the mailto blah blah coming over.. I just want the email address as TEXT.In the application the user opens the email form by clicking an icon on an invoice screen, this will allow them to automatically email to the client.. Once they open the email screen they naturally see an arrangement of other boxes where they can enter subject, email description etc..
At the same time there are two boxes, the "To" box and the"From" box... I want these boxes to be auto updated with the email address (to save time). When the user clicks the icon on the invoice screen it automatically copies and displays the email address of the client in the "To" box on the invoice.. The problem I am having is that it is displaying as useless information which is associated with the hyperlink.The email address comes from a field that has already previously been associated as a hyperlink, and it HAS to come from this field, I have no way around it.... All of this information is coming from an address book section from a field that is a hyperlink field.. If it was a txt field then I would not be having this problem.
As I already have various forms open displaying information I am able to used simple code to fill in various bits of info to save time... Because of this I am using simply code to copy the email address from one form to another:
Forms![Email]![To] = Forms![AddressBook]![Email]
Obviously the above code is simple and works for 90% of this type of approach, however there must be some other code that I need to use to first translate the email address to text...
In the end I don't care what I have to do as long as it works.. Remember though that the original field is a hyperlink field and must remain so, I cannot simply convert that to txt..
What I would like to do is create a form that lets the user browse for an excel file, then will click an "import" button which then imports all the fields in excel into a table.
I have a number of Excel spreadsheets (data sources) hosted on Sharepoint that I need to link to one single Access database.
At first. I cannot link the spreadsheets directly to Access because Access cannot read the spreadsheets on SharePoint to make the links.
Secondly, I can export the spreadsheets from SharePoint to a local folder on my PC and keep them 'refreshed'. The problem with this is that I cannot link Access to the local refreshed spreadsheets because of the (auto) extention .iqy. Access does not know the extention .iqy and hence the two cannot be linked at all.
Thus: How do I link an Excel spreadsheet hosted on SharePoint to MS Access.
What is the strategy for doing this rather than the code (if it's possible)? I can code a fair bit of VBA in excel but I'm not too sure about what I'm doing in Access.
