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 :: Downloading Excel Data From Site And Connect It To Access - Time Format Changed

Dec 18, 2013

I 'm downloading the excel data from the site and connecting it to access.

In excel the particular column (Time Taken) is in the format of "00:12:26".

After connecting it to access and appending it to the table, the format changed to "12:12:26", the first two digits changed to "12" and the remaining are as it is how it looks like in the excel. I need to change it to format what it looks like in the excel.

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 :: 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.

General :: Field Was Changed From Text To Memo

Jan 6, 2013

The database contains the records of a collection of thousands of photographs and negatives.

One of the fields contains information on the subject matter of each pic and can sometimes be very long. The field was changed from text to memo so as to hold more characters but they appeared in one long string, which means a lot of scrolling to see the information. That has been changed back to text and we are adding a second or third record such as xxx-xxx-xxx cont1 xxx-xxx-xxx cont2 so as to get shorter strings. Is there a way to make the text wrap onto a second or third line automatically after a specific number of characters have been entered or can a carriage return be put in to force the text to a new line?

Can I Batch Import Multiple Excel Files?

Jun 22, 2007

I have 100 or so 2-sheet excel workbooks. I need to import them all into an access table for analysis. They are all exactly the same format/layout etc but obviously have different data in them (they are customer satisfaction surveys). I only want to export 1 out of the 2 sheets on each workbook (the other is a front end, the data sits behind in sheet 2).

So, at the moment I have to go to 'get external data' > 'import' > select excel and then double click each file individually and then go through the import wizard. Now, I can get them all into one table but it's clearly time consuming.

Is there anyway of doing a batch import of multiple excel files to cut out the manual work described above? Or can anyone suggest a lateral get around?

Any help much appreciated. I should say that I am running excel 2003 and access XP (2002)

Matt

Queries :: Import Multiple Excel Files

Jul 17, 2014

I have been trying to write a macro that will do the following:

- Look to a specific folder in my home drive (nb this may change)
- select all of the excel files that are in that folder
- select various cells in each of those spreadsheets - each spreadsheet is formatted the same with the same structure. The cells are random, e.g. D6, I22, H4, K4, D17, so I cannot select a whole range
- copy these cells and paste them into one row of a database

Modules & VBA :: Importing Excel Files - How To Add Additional Columns

Dec 31, 2013

I need to add two additional columns for each imported spreadsheet, which are not in the original files.

First column, named 'Customer Name', needs to retrieve information from cell A6 in Excel file, which is not part of range "name" that is imported to Access. If necessary, I could somehow include it in this range but then I still would have a problem of how to repeat a value of A6 in each row of table in Access.

Second column, named "File Name", I would like to include an Excel file name from which data was imported. Again, I would like to repeat value for each row in the table, i.e. if I have 6 rows with data from file X, I would like to repeat X.xlsx in each row in column "File Name".

Code:
Dim strFile As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM Data;"
' Set file directory for files to be imported
strPath = "C: est"

[Code] ....

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())

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

Modules & VBA :: Convert To Excel Files And Import Into Access Database

Aug 7, 2015

I have files that have extension of TSV which are text files but viewable in exel. I figured out a way for the user to click on a button in Access which does the following

1. Run Macro in Excel: The macro prompts the user to select the TSV file. After selection, macro opens the employee.tsv file in the excel (with excel being invisible) and saves it as employee.xls

Code:
Sub SaveTSVtoXLS()
Dim myPath As String
Dim myString As Variant
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)

[Code] .....

2. Imports the Excel file (employee.xls) into two tables: tblEmployee and tblDepartment using the following codes.

Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryDepartment", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:C2"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryEmployee", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:AE2"

Everything is working flawless except that the user has to select the file three times:

1 time for the tsv
2 times for the xls file

Is there a way that the user can select the file only once (tsv file) or at least only twice one of the tsv file and the other for the xls file?

Modules & VBA :: To Check If Excel Files Are Updated Today Then Run A Macro

Jun 26, 2015

I have a database which I've creating but now want to make others available to update - in the past this has not gone well! The database uses data from two excel sheets and the problem has been people do not always check if these have been updated today before running and therefore the database gets loaded with old data.I have found code that will check and display a message showing datelastmodified for a file but what i'm trying to find is code which will check both files' datelast modified, if they are modified today then run the update macro, if one or both are not modified today, then to display a message saying that the excel is not updated.
