General :: Import Images From DBase DBT File

Jul 27, 2013

I've been asked by a friend to extract approx 50 images that are stored in a dBase 5 'DBT' file.

I know Access can import dBase 'DBF' files, but is there a way that I can use Access to import the data in the 'DBT' files and convert to jpg format?

FoxPro/DBase III Import??

Oct 12, 2006

Okay,

First I was thinking to write a little app in Access to work with a DBF file, that I assumed was a DBIII database. It was exported via a 3rd party software, and the primary interface up until this point has been Visual FoxPro. My problem is two fold:
1st:
When I tried to import it as a dBase III file, Access just closed. I mean, disappeared, no longer running, closed. I didn't even get an error message or anything.
So I tried to import via ODBC, using a "Machine Data Source" Microsoft Visual FoxPro Database (or table, either works) and selected the directory of the dbf file and selected the table listed once it scaned the directory and all imported fine.

So: If the Visual FoxPro Machine Data source worked, though I am confused why the DBIII driver just booted me, I am now concerned as to how I would write a connection string via DAO to access that dbf file at run time.

Basically I want to go to a static location on a network and access a dbf file, and perform query manipulations upon it. My connection will be READ ONLY to the actual DBF file and i would subsequently use MS Access to create any other relevant tables/queries based on the table in the dbf file. Since the Visual FoxPro MDS diver worked, do I need to write a connection string to access it, and if so, how would I do that?

Thanks

Jul 28, 2014

I am trying to load a csv file by coding, which is DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "", "tblTempPayments", newFilename, False. One field which I have declared as Text, some rows for the fields are numeric, some rows are text, and some are alphanumeric.of the fields being declared as Text, it is throwing an error by creating an additional table naming temp_importerrors, and having 3 fields for Error, Field and Row, so in my view it is taking the majority of the rows, thinking a data type on the majority of the data type, and others being error out.The only work around that was successful for me, is placing that relevant values wit double quotes.

Images With Non Traditional File Extensions

Nov 24, 2005

I am trying to display images in my form. The problem I have is that these image files are from an external source and don't have the traditional image file extensions such as .jpg, .bmp, etc. Each one of the image files end with the sequence number of the image subject, ie: .0011 or .0021, etc. I can change the file extension to one of the traditional file extension, and it would open. However, there are several thousand images. How could I get access to recognize the generic file extensions?

Text File To MS Excel Multiple File Import Application

Jul 20, 2006

hello,

I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).

I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?

General :: Large Table Import / Way To Import Tables To Access

Sep 17, 2013

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.

General :: Db Bloating Due To Images

May 6, 2014

I have a small (8MB) database that we use to monitor vehicle panels. The user enters a panel ID and it calls an image from a folder.

I have the paths stored in a table and use image1.picture = path

However, every time the user is calling a panel to see it, the database is increasing in size, by the size of the image file (300kb). So in 15 minutes the Db has grown from 8MB to 180MB.

General :: Datatype And Viewing Images In Reports

Jul 20, 2015

I am building a database in Access 2007 that needs currently includes images and excel files as embedded OLEs. I am aware this is not ideal, but I can't change my employer's mind.

I've been looking in to the Attachment data type but am having trouble deciding if it will work as a substitute for my purposes. I know a variety of image file types can be displayed inside Access on forms and reports, but I can't find anything about displaying the contents of an excel sheet. I read something about using Active X controls to display .pdf images - is there anything similar for Excel?

HELP HELP! Automate Import Of A .csv File

Nov 8, 2005

I was working on project that involved writing the data into Access database using a C program. The insert query execution was taking very long, so I decided to write to a .csv file and then import it to one of the desired tables. This worked very fast as compared to directly writing to the DB. Now I want to automate this process. The user should specify the file name at the command prompt and I want to call a script so that the script automatically imports the contents of the .csv file into the access DB. I already have connection established to the DB. All I am looking for is the script that can automatically import the .csv file into access DB. Please help me out. :confused:

Import File Problem

Jan 18, 2007

:mad: Hi,

I m really struggling now with this problem.

I am importing a csv file with addresses and Post Codes on into a Properties Table. However, when I import the csv file, there is another field in the table called Area. I want the import routine to somehow use a lookup table that will contain all Post Codes and what Area they are in and then insert the relevant Area in each record in the properties table. I have tried using DLOOKUP in an update query but this just inserts the first Area in the lookup table into all records in the Property Table.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Lee
