General :: Extracting Data From Access Without Knowing Number Of Results
Jun 25, 2014
I wish to extract data from my access database...namely all packages we are taking to the post office for dispatch that day. The post office form looks like this...
I need to extract the name the address & postal service used (this data is all contained in our access database. I envisage using a 'flag' to trap those orders that haven't been posted yet (in other words export only those database entries that have not been flagged as posted, then afterwards update the database to change the flag to 'posted')
My dilemma is that I've not really used reports much (I'm assuming that reports is the correct way to go here)...how do you format the output of a report, when you don't know how many lines are going result (some days might see 10 order, other days 20 ...and so on)...

I have managed to get my access DB set up, get the data entry, searching and editing working perfectly (in forms)
The next stage is extracting data from these.
ie I four of the columns I have are
Date Received
Portal (drop down list of 3 choices)
User Initial (list of 4 choices)
Days of the Week (ie Monday, Tuesday etc)
I need to be able to search through the database, ie between X Date and Y Date and mark the totals from each of the sections. so the following
Date: 01/06/2014
to
Date: 13/06/2014
Portals 1 = XXXX
Portal 2 = XXXX
Portal 3 = XXXX
Total = XXXX
Then I'll need to do one for all of the above. and more.
So how can I do this? will a report do it? or a form where it searches down and displays totals?

Hi,
I am extracting data from linked db2 table using access make table query. First I create a select query and can view the linked db2 data, but when I change to a make table query I get an error message, "invalid argument", when I run the make table query. There is no selection critera specified. Has anyone had this happen? and Do you know a solution?
Thanks for your support

You guys have been so helpful in the past. Perhaps you can help me with this as well. I believe it’s a bit out of my scope. I have a list that reads similar to this:
Field 1
DMA: ALBANY
CAR 1
CAR 2
CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON
CAR 1
CAR 3
CAR 4
CAR 5
CAR 6
DMA: HOUSTON
CAR 1
CAR 3
CAR 4
CAR 5
I need it to read like this:
Field 1 Field 2
DMA: ALBANY CAR 1
DMA: ALBANY CAR 2
DMA: ALBANY CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON CAR 1
DMA: BOSTON CAR 3
DMA: BOSTON CAR 4
DMA: BOSTON CAR 5
DMA: BOSTON CAR 6
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 1
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 3
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 4
DMA: HOUSTON CAR 5
If my list was this short, I would do it all manually, but my record list is in the 10,000s. Basically I want field 1 to read: DMA:ALBANY and Field 2 to read:CAR 1, and so on. I’ve tried linking the table to itself in a query, however, that hasn’t proven to be helpful. I've also searched the FAQ's and newsgroups. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Amanda

I probably have an easy question for one of you out there, but I just cannot get it myself.
I need to extract the data between two characters in a string.
The data will be similar to this:
T4454: Text Text-Text: $296.07: Text Text
I need to get the dollar amount between the dollar sign and the colon on the right of it.
So far, I have this for my query:
Amount1: Mid$([subject],InStr([subject],"$"))
Which gets the amount to the left side, but also has the $ in it.
In the example above, I would like to just end up with 296.07 as the result from the query. I should also add that the dollar amount may vary from 1.00 to #,###.00
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Hi All,
Is there any standard Access functionality which can tell me which tables are used in each of my queries.
Failing that has anyone ideas on some query I could develop or code that I could write which would give the required output.
Thanks,
Evan

Hi Guys,
I have a table called "tblEmployees" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Address
DOB etc
Letter1Dated
Letter2Dated
I have another couple of tables:
"tblLetter1" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Letter1Dated
Letter1RemainingFields...
"tblLetter2" with the following fields:
EmployeeNo (Primary key)
Name
Letter2Dated
Letter2RemainingFields...
I want to be able to put the data from 'Letter1Dated' field (from the "tblLetter1" table) into the 'Letter1Dated' Field in the "tblEmployees" table.
Likewise, I want to be able to put the data from 'Letter2Dated' field (from the "tblLetter2" table) into the 'Letter2Dated' Field in the "tblEmployees" table.
All three tables have the same primary key (EmployeeNo), which makes it even more difficult to do this!
I understand this may sound abit confusing so i apologise for this.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction please.
Thanks alot.

Hi, I need a little help. I will give you the background on what i am doing to hopefully make this easier to resolve. P.S I am open to other approaches.
1) Items are requested for order indervidually
Table/Query looks like this
Code:ID#PartNumberStatusQty ReqOrder StatusNeed DateWork Order110-980-21Stock Required2Waiting26/10/2007WO07-12CR212-5-3Stock Required30Waiting26/10/2007WO07-1310-980-21Stock Required1Waiting28/10/2007WO07-24CR212-5-3Stock Required20Waiting28/10/2007WO07-25CR212-5-3Stock Required15Waiting28/10/2007WO07-2
2) The following Module concatenates the columns (my idea being the user can order all items in bulk.
Code:Public Function Conc(Fieldx, Identity, Value, Source) As Variant Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim SQL As String Dim vFld As Variant Set cnn = CurrentProject.Connection Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset vFld = Null SQL = "SELECT [" & Fieldx & "] as Fld" & _ " FROM [" & Source & "]" & _ " WHERE [" & Identity & "]='" & Value & "'" ' open recordset. rs.Open SQL, cnn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly ' concatenate the field. Do While Not rs.EOF If Not IsNull(rs!Fld) Then vFld = vFld & ", " & rs!Fld End If rs.MoveNext Loop ' remove leading comma and space. vFld = Mid(vFld, 3) Set cnn = Nothing Set rs = Nothing ' return concatenated string. Conc = vFldEnd Function
3) A query calls on this
Code:SELECT Conc("ID#","PartNumber",[PartNumber],"Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_Order") AS [BOM ID#], Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_Order.PartNumber, Sum(Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_Order.[Qty Req]) AS [Total Qty Required], Conc("Work Order","PartNumber",[PartNumber],"Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_Order") AS WOrdersFROM Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_OrderGROUP BY Qry_70_BOM_Awaiting_Order.PartNumber;
Producing this result.
Code:BOM ID# PartNumberTotal Qty RequiredWOrders1, 3 10-900-213 WO07-1, WO07-22, 4, 5 CR2162-5-365 WO07-1, WO07-2, WO07-2
OK, Now after that, (ALL ABOVE WORKS FINE).
I would like my users to purchase againts the new BOM ID# records as seen above. Once a order is placed against these i will, put something against each records to show there order status. (i'll take care of this part.)
Code:BOM ID# PartNumberTotal Qty RequiredWOrders Order Status1, 3 10-900-213 WO07-1, WO07-2 Waiting2, 4, 5 CR2162-5-365 WO07-1, WO07-2, WO07-2 Ordered
Finally, sorry about the lenght of this, I need to be able to use the above BOM ID# to reference back to the the ID# table at the start of the thread. In this example Id's records 2 - 4 and 5 will show ordered.
In other words how do i extract 2, 4, 5 back out of the above and into there original state, but including the order status?
Hope this makes sence

I am trying to extract information from a fillable PDF form that my company has created. Rightfully so, they have completely locked down all options, so I am not able to convert the file in Adobe Reader to a text file. I've seen options to extract information using VBA code with Adobe Acrobat; however, I do not have a license for the program. Is there any VBA code that uses Adobe Reader to extract information and put it in an Access database?

how to import a table using VBA like so:
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim dr As String
dr = Dir("F:SomeFolder*.mdb", vbDirectory)
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft Access", "F:SomeFolder" & dr, acTable, "Table", "Table2"
End Sub
This was just a test to see if I could get an import to work. My problem is that I have a lot of .mdb/.accdb files with similar tables that I need to add into one larger database and these similar tables could have different names in different folders. For example, a file named db1.mdb has a table named tbl. Another file named db2.mdb has a table with all of the same fields, but its called tabX. Furthermore, db2.mdb could even contain a second table that I need to import.
My question is:
Is there a way to simply import all the tables from an access database without knowing any table names using VBA?

I have a flat file sent to me today that contains a number of fields with the same issue. As an example, I have a field named Coordinators from a table named Audit and the data within it is formatted as follows:
Mark Hollings;#14664;#Judy Thompson;#10169;#Tammy Wilson;#3608;#Tim Levy;#2785;#David Simpson;#1251
Is there any way to extract only the names while leaving in either the ";" or replacing it with a ","? My desired output would look like this:
Mark Hollings;Judy Thompson;Tammy Wilson;Tim Levy;David Simpson
This field can be populated with one or more names so that's a variable in all of this as well.

I am building a database for a coworker. For one table, he'd like to extract data from different companies' financial reports, specifically a Schedule RC-B (schedule of securities). The format it comes in is PDF, but there are options to download XBRL, SDF and Taxonomy. My computer doesn't recognize any of these other formats. Plus, I'm guessing each company will have a slightly different format, so I don't know if there'd be an efficient way to set up an automatic import. Any way for importing/extracting data from these files?

I have a feedback database with 3 tables, one for complaints, compliments and other. They have the standard common fields such as name, address, date received, nature of enquiry, investigating officer etc etc.A person can have more than one record in the complaints table and that same person could also have 1 one more records in the compliments and others table. What I would like to do is to be able to display the data for that same person that appears in the complaints, compliments and others table in a report using a search facility by either name or address. This will therefore display the number of times that this person has made contact together with dates and the reasons.

Running Office 365 (Access 2013). Recent problem occurrence. When I do an 'External Data' command, either from another Access database or an Excel file, the import completes, but I don't see the new table immediately in the navigator section. If I import from another Access database, the new imported tables appear as '~TMPCLP....' tables. If it's from an Excel workbook, the new table doesn't appear at all. It's only after I exit the database and reopen it do I see the new tables correctly named.

I have
Table called "Products"
Field 1= "Product ID" which is a text field (PK) but numbers are used (ie 1 -20)
Field 2= Products -showing our list of 20 products
When I enter a new product, currently I have to look in the table to find the last ID used then use the next one available. I have created a form to be used for data entry to enter new products
What I am trying to do is :- 1, have the form open at data entry level but still able to scroll and see all records and 2, Have the form auto generate the next number available. For example, I have 20 products entered so when the form opens to enter a new product, the ID is automatically at number 21.
I wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.

I am looking into re-creating something I have created in Microsoft Excel into Microsoft Access.What I do in the Excel spreadsheet, is when I type in an order number, various fields in the spreadsheet are populated using vlookups and ODBC's.
I wish to re-create this in Access but not sure how. I have a basic form, with various fields such as, order number, part number, description, quantity.What I have in my mind is that I would like to be able to type in an order number, then the rest of the fields would be populated by a query to a SQL Server database.i can see a way to do this using VBA but would rather look for a more direct way if possible.
