General :: How To Break Up A Table In Access Into Several Linked Excel Files

May 3, 2013

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.

General :: Link Excel Files To Access DB

Sep 11, 2012

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.

Access Query Using Criteria In Linked Excel Table

May 4, 2006

I use an Excel interface to retrieve data from an Access file that has approximately 1 million records. I use an MS Query from Excel to run an Access Query to retrieve the data.

I have 16 "Criteria" fields (columns) in Excel that I change with drop-downs. Each criteria column has 2 to 9 values set; a total of 75 values. I pass these criteria fields to Access via a table link in Access.

The criteria of the fields in the query that is run in Access to pull the data based on the table link is updated by using the Values In A List (IN) option.

When I refresh this query in Excel, it pulls the data fine, but may take 10 minutes to run. (I am using MS Office 2003, 1Gig memory). I have limited VBA knowledge. Is there a better/faster way to pull this data?

Linked Excel Table In MS Access Date Data Type Problem

Aug 29, 2005

I'm using MS access and Excel 2000. I have an Excel spreadsheet that contained 8 columns, the first column has all cell format as Number, the rest of the column is set as custom date format of 'dd/mm/yyyy'.

Is there any work around this? Seems like it is a common problem.

Your prompt response is greatly appreciated!

.DBX Files Linked To ACCESS DB

Jan 23, 2004

I'm trying to link .DBX files to an ACCESS database. My problem is that the Dates are in this format. "20040123" and times are in "730" or "1630" and, all fields are TEXT. The Database is being used to help analyze production times and employee dates worked, so you can see I need to be able to perform calculations on these fields. Is there any way to translate them to Dates and times that ACCESS understands?

Thanks

General :: Copy Data From Local Access Table To Linked SQL Server Table?

Jan 13, 2014

I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple

Code:

DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"

This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).

I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.

Multiple Access To Linked .txt Files?

Feb 8, 2006

We've had a problem for quite a while with regards to multiple users being able to view/run, queries/reports at the same time.
If someone is running a query/report, and then someone attempts to use any other query/report that’s already using the linked .txt file they get the error message:

The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.


I've read various posts with regards to user rights to the folder which the DB is stored, which isn't the problem in this case (we have tested and set user access to all read, write, delete etc).

I've also read that .txt files are managed in a different way than most other file types, in that DOS controls user access rather than jet?

So my question is:
Is there a way round this issue with linked tables that use .txt file as there source?

Thanks

General :: Embedded Excel Files

Feb 14, 2013

pretty Excel sheet full of conditional formatting that is used as a vehicle assignment board where I work. I know I can embed the file into an Access form using an unbound object, and therefore "integrate" it into Access, however this creates a copy of the file, and therefore when people change the sheet, the original Excel file is not updated. Is there any way to embed the excel file in such a way that the Excel document itself is also updated? Basically some sort of an active, two-way link rather than what amounts to just importing a copy of it? I need to be able to pull data from various cells in that Excel file so it needs to be kept up-to-date.

General :: Recovered Files Changed To Excel Extensions?

Feb 23, 2013

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall Access 2010 a new computer with Windows 8 and put my Access files on the computer from my backup USB drive. If I attempt to open the Access files from the USB drive, the computer has attached the Excel icon in front of the file name, even tho the type of files says ACCDB, and attempts to open with Excel. I get the following message: "'the file is not in a recognizable format".

The interesting thing is that if I open Access 2010 first and then 'find' the same file that I moved from the USB drive to my desktop, the file will open even tho it has the Excel icon.

How do I change my Access back to where they have the Access icon preceding the name, rather than the Excel icon?

General :: Update Excel / Access Table Via Email

Jun 10, 2012

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.

Modules & VBA :: Saving Excel Files Through Access In Particular Directory

May 4, 2014

I am using Access to save an Excel file in a particular directory. The code was created about 10 years ago and hence saves the file with .xls extension and I would like to save with a .xlsm extension. If I just change the .xls to .xlsm, in the code below, the file is saved but the Compatibility Checker comes up (I would like to stop this) and when the file is reopened I get an error message stating there is a file extension problem and the file won't open.

Code:
strExt = ".xls"
'If .txtFriendlyName <> "" Then
' strDestFileName = .txtFriendlyName
'Else
' strDestFileName = Left(objFile.Name, Len(objFile.Name) - 4) & MakeFilePosfix(Now())

[Code] ....

Access Query - Export To Multiple Excel Files

May 21, 2015

I have a basic access query (MACs Report Template) that I need to export into multiple excel files based on the 1st field (Plan ID).

Example:

PLAN ID
Number
Amount
Status

AM141
12345
100
Disconnected

AM141
54321
5000
Active

AM142
11122
2000
Disconnected

AM155
22334
500
Disconnected

I need this to create a spreadsheet for each unique PLAN ID. Ideally i want it to export the following:

MACs Report AM141 20150521.xls (both records above should be in this report)
MACs Report AM142 20150521.xls
MACs Report AM155 20150521.xls
