creating a import form into access.File format is txt (tab delimited)
Ideally I need:
- a box to enter the file name
- a box to enter the path
- a import button to push
I have seem some comments saying you have to creat a transfer text.However I have no knowlegde of Coding, opening or closing statments..
Here is the import statement I'm using:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "IT315 Import Specification_txt", _
"IT315", "D:4533 Hires Rehire Status ChangeIT315.txt"
I can manually transfer the data ie thru File --> Get External Data etc but I can't seem to get the above statement to work --- with the same specification!!
The details are in the attached doc file.
Hi,
I have a text file with comma separated values. What I want is a single access query to import this text file into an access table. I know this can be done through import text wizard in access - but what I need is a single query.
I have done the same thing for transferring oracle data to an access table - but for text file to access, I am getting -7778 error.
This is the query I have written
SELECT * into MY_ACCESS_TBL from [odbc;Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};Dbq=MY_TEXT_FILE_PATH;].[MY_TEXT_FILE.txt];
Please help!!

I have a data file I am importing into MS Access 2010. One of the fields is a large text field. When i import that field into Access the text is getting cut off. How do I get the full text field to import without cutting off?

I want a string of code that allows me to import a series of delimited text files into access using VBA. I have the first bit of code down:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, deltxtimptbl, "Delivery(local)", "msfs3109data1shareeveryoneprorep ranhistDelivery" & currentdate & ".txt"
The text files hold data for a specific days work. Each day has its own text file. I would like to be able to import the text files within a specific date range, specified by the user. Below is the total code i have for my form button:
rivate Sub Command0_Click()
Dim startdate As String
Dim enddate As String
Dim currentdatex
Dim count As Integer
count = 0
[Code] .....

I am having difficulty importing a large txt file into my database, due to the first column containing a * prefix. normally i would just go through the document and delete it, but this file is quite large at over 100k records.
Is there anyway of importing this file in access 2010 and telling access to ignore the first column?
Need importing just 1 column from excel file into vba !

When I did the first import I did it by doing an import text file, located the file 1.txt. The Import Text Wizard opened and I picked Fixed With so I could break out the information myself.After dividing that information I hit advanced and changed the field name to match what they should be. Next, then it ask me to save Import Steps and I said yes.
First: how I can use the saved import to import this file again using the text wizard
Second: how can I set it so it imports a numbers of files, maybe one or maybe all 30?
Third: how difficult would it be to all the file name in the first or last column?
I want to import a text file that is one continuous string at present when i try to import the file it treats the data as one row.
I would like to split so that a new row is created wherever an apostrophe
appears in the string IE (') I can use this as the delimiter when importing as one row, but for some reason it creates errors after field 30
I've included a sample of the data
Cheers
I have a database that a user wanted created. They gave me code used in another database to import the text file automatically using code. I looked at the code but I don't see where the file is coming from. I am not familiar with the transfertext code. I need to import a text file into an access table. The text file needs cleaning up because it comes from another program and it has breaks and the header repeats in the middle of the file several different times. I need code to clean up before it is imported into the table. I can't see how this code works enough to use it:
Code:
Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
Dim mResponse As String
Dim mDir As String
Dim intRecordLength As Integer
Dim strRecord As String
Dim strRecordType As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strID As String
Dim strDate As String
Dim strLev As String
Dim strCode As String
Dim strBranch As String
'************** Check for populated stat table
If DCount("[ID]", "tblStats") > 0 Then
MsgBox "Clear previous data before importing a new file.", vbOKOnly, "Clear Data"
Exit Sub
End If
'************** End Check
'************** Get File
mResponse = GetOpenFile_CLT(mDir, "Select file to be imported.")
mResponse = LCase$(mResponse)
If mResponse = "" Then
'If no path specified, abort
MsgBox "No file selected, import cancelled."
Exit Sub
End If
mDir = mResponse
Do While Right$(mDir, 1) <> ""
mDir = Left$(mDir, Len(mDir) - 1)
Loop
'************* End Get File
'************* Set Label/Form
Me.lblProcess.Caption = "Importing " & mResponse
DoCmd.Hourglass False
DoCmd.RepaintObject acForm, "frmImport"
'************* End Label/Form
'************* Start Import
Open mResponse For Input As 1
Do While Not EOF(1)
intRecordLength = 28
Input #1, strRecord
If Len(strRecord) < intRecordLength Then
GoTo sLoop
End If
'If length is 41
If Len(strRecord) > intRecordLength Then
strID = Trim(Left(strRecord, 12))
strDate = Trim(Mid(strRecord, 14, 11))
strLev = Trim(Mid(strRecord, 26, 3))
strCode = Trim(Mid(strRecord, 33, 2))
strBranch = Trim(Mid(strRecord, 40, 2))
End If

If Len(strRecord) = intRecordLength Then
strDate = Left(strRecord, 11)
strCode = Mid(strRecord, 20, 2)

End If

I have been doing an exercise to split the data from the list of the information into column A, B & C. Unfortunately the data value that i have consist of several set of data format therefore it create an issue for me to separate the information in Access 2010 easily.
eg.
Original Data Field
FLRY-B-0.75-L-GY
FLRY-4.0-V-R
VTAC-GY 19X20
COT-F2-5-DL
Actual Data To Populate Into Column A, B & C should be the following :
A
FLRY-B
FRY
VTAC-GY
COT-F2
B
0.75
4
19X20
5
C
L-GY
V-R
(No data captured for this column)

I am trying to import a non-delimited text file into access, but where there is a strict hierarchy to the records, i.e.
NAME:
AGE:
DOB:
etc. etc.
The field names are constant throughout the document but the pages are of variable length depending on what is in the fields.
When exporting a table from Access as a text file, it keeps adding .00 to the end of the number format records that I am tying to export.
Why it is doing that and what I need to do to prevent that from happening?
I've got a bit of a problem with linking a text box to a ComboBox. I have an employee name in a field [EmployeeName] that sits in the Header of a Form. (This is so I can show multiple records for that employee without having their name repeated at each one). I also have the name of contact [ContactName] that sits in the Detail area of the form.Both names come from their own tables that have all their contact numbers and e-mail addresses in columns I have linked the name to text boxes [ContactPhone] & [EmployeePhone] with their relevant phone numbers in within the Detail area of the form.
The ContactPhone that has the ContactName within the Details part of the form works well with no problems by putting =[ContactName].Column(1) in the Control Source
However when I put =[EmployeeName].Column(1) in the relevant Control Source (and / or EmployeeEMail in a second text box), once I have saved the form in Design view and returned to Form view, Access crashes and shuts down!If I remove the wording from the control source Access doesn't crash.
Hi!
I'm trying to import csv files into an Access 97 database, but the filename is different each time otherwise I would just use a commandbutton with the transfertext macro.
I've been searching for help to browse to a file and keep coming back to the same few pages but not being a programmer I can't figure out how to use the code.
Can anyone help me with simple instructions on how to do this?
Thanks.
Anna.:confused:
We have received a zip file from a new client containing several thousand loans. The problem is that when I open the file as text all of the data is in one "field" meaning instead of going across the data goes down.
loan type,
loan number,
origination date,
loan term,
lo type,
etc....
Then it starts over with the next loan. There are over 17,000 lines.
How can I import the text file and have the loans go across. Even when I have imported the file using comma delimited it still imports them going down. Even if the comma delimited would work, I would still have issues because Access would not know when the new loan began to move it to the next row.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Sorry for my rambling.
hi guys,
i am importing a tab seperated file into a table, and one of the fields is a user comment.
all is well -- until a record is imported that contains comment with a carriage return followed by some more text. the text after the carriage return is imported as the next record.
if the file is tab seperated, why is the carriage return causing the import to act in this way?
thanks

I have a .csv (MS Excel) file I need to import, but one of the fields contains rich text format text.
Is there anyway to clean this up before or after it is imported?
Thanks,

Hey,
I have a text file i wish to link up to one of my tables. The problem is that even if i try to import data from that file i get "Text file specifikation field separator matches decimal separator or text delimiter." message and after that one an err that the file cant be imported. Does anyone know why?
Thats the sample of my file:
'PV','045.302','KROG VEN S PNEU POG','JOHN-VALVE + AIR TORQUE','JV-9301NC-BW + AT051DA','','','','15','8','VANI','','1.4408','PTF E','ZRK'
All,
I have a database that I import text files to create tables. I ve been doing this awhile but now I have to pass it on to someone else to do and are trying to find a better way. this is what I've been doing: I import the text file into a new table. Then I copy and paste the data to the corresponding table. I know I can do an append query to do this but its about 12 text files I have to import into 12 different tables and I didn't want to take the time. I then run a query to combine and sum data from two different tables. The problem is that I have to copy and paste because if I import the text files directly into the corresponding table, the query don't run. I've tried change the field data type in the import wizard but it still doesn't work. My table datatype fields are: field1-text field2-number and field3-number. There is not field for number in the wizard but I use double as a field size in the design table so I select this in the wizard. I don't know how to resolve this other than spending time to create an append query or cut and paste. Please help
Thanks
I have source data that is tab delimited, but the data is interspersed.
<tab>T1F1<tab>T1F2<tab><tab>T1F3<eoln>
T2F1<tab>T2F2<tab>T2F3<tab>T2F4<tab>T2F5<tab>T2F6...<eoln>
T2F1<tab>T2F2<tab>T2F3<tab>T2F4<tab>T2F5<tab>T2F6...<eoln>
<tab>T1F1<tab>T1F2<tab><tab>T1F3<eoln>
T2F1<tab>T2F2<tab>T2F3<tab>T2F4<tab>T2F5<tab>T2F6...<eoln>
That sort of gives a feel for how the data is laid out. T1F1, means the data here goes into the first field of Table1, T2F1 means the data goes in the first field of Table2.
You can tell the difference etween table1 and table2 data because table1 data starts with a tab, and table2 data does not.
Can Access directly import this data?
I haven't found anything that would work, but hey, I am known to overlook the obvious solution, so I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
David
