Hi all, I'm using access 2002. 2002 has pivoting, but in order to use it you have to download an xp add on(at least I did). After I installed the libraries pivots worked for me- and I added all manner of niftyness-before I discovered that no one else in my department could use it without adding the same downloads. So I decided to go with exporting to excel. That opened up a whole new can of worms, but in the end I finally got it working. I just wanted to share what I found with everyone here-maybe the next person won't have to work so hard. This code works from a toolbar button.
Of course if anyone has any suggestions, I'm interested.
Public Function goToPivot()

I have access database as FE and teradata and peoplesoft as BE. In access database, i have a table with 5 columns and around 50,000 rows of data. I need to create the pass through queries such that it selects the first row from the access table as a where clause and export the query results in excel format or access table. The query should then go to the 2nd row as a next where clause and append the results in the same excel sheet or table.This process need to continue for all rows in the access table.

I'm trying to make a simple program to automate timesheet templates. Each of our staff members work on a 4 weekly basis (week 1, week 2, week 3 and week 4). I currently use a word document with the template in and copy and paste it into the timesheet. The timesheets run from the 23rd of one month until the 22nd of the month after. The issue is the four weekly template doesn't fit the same every month so I am after an automated process.
I'm thinking of having forms to select a staff member and change their hours on the template, if you will, and then a button to create new timesheets where admin staff would just need to add the first date (ie 23/09/2013) and the timesheet would be made for each staff member and auto filled with the four week template.
My main issue is I'm not sure how to link the dates to the weeks in a table. I have attached a word template of my own hours.

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;
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acLink, , "region", "F:DB PracticeBook1.xlsx", False, "region"
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.

Hi guys,
I regularly export the main table in our database to an excel spreadsheet, to provide an additional level of data back-up. (Using File/Export)
I was wondering if there is a way of automating this process, either through a command button on a form, or by linking it with shutting the database down.
Any ideas?

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.

Access version 2010
Excel version 2010
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.

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 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 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.

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"?

Hi,
Would it be possible for me to build an interface for a customer to use for importing data. So that they customer could choose from a drop down list, or input into a text box where they want to export from, and where they would like the export to be imported?
