How To Import Data From The Original Two Tables To New Updated Database

Apr 28, 2014

I've been making small changes here and there to my database in Access 2013. I have left the original database in place and it has acquired many new records from the last month. I'm ready to start using the newly updated design version of the database, but I do not want to have to type all those new records into the new database to get it up-to-date. There has to be a way to import the data from the original database to the newly updated one.

Most, If not all of the fields have the same names, but some of the fields have changed, like to Combo boxes. I removed two or three unneeded fields, and added two or three. I understand the new fields will need to have data enter to them, but the remaining would be redundant and inefficient if I have to reenter all the recent records again.

How do I import the data from the original two tables to the new updated database? I only have two tables and they use a One-to-One relationship in both databases. The table's names are different, but as I mentioned earlier, the fields are mostly the same. Do I need to import into Excel, and then modify the data slightly, and then import into my new database?

General :: Import All Tables Into New Database

Oct 4, 2012

I had created a database a number of months back and received.After getting halfway through and seeing some requests come through from management on what they want to see or improvements, it looks as though there will have to be some retooling done to the database like moving some fields to different tables as there is duplicate entry fields.Would you import all the tables into a new database and then append the data to where it needs to go or keep working within the one I have?

Tables :: Import CSV To Table But Only New Data?

Aug 15, 2013

I have a production machine that writes its output to a CSV file every time it produces a good part (several times pr. day). It can produce identical part which means that the mashine will not put in another line in the csv, but just update the no of produced parts. I had to rename the attached file because you can not uploade *.csv files in the forum.

What I want is:

- When someone opens a specific Access db a tabel in the db is updated with all new data from the csv file.

My problem is: How do I make sure that I only get the new data from the Access db.

Tables :: Import Data From Excel

Jul 24, 2014

I am trying to run a report based off Data I dump into Excel from a Database I use for Property management. Once I have dumped this data I amend it for reporting purposes. The issue I am having is this data constanly gets updated and every time I dump new data it obviously overrides all the changes I had made. How can I set up access to know what data I have already imported, keep it and only add NEW data from excel? To make a little more sense in Excell Colum A is Work Order Number, B is property address, C is Works to be done. I alter the works to be done when first dump it as it requires more info and updating. I need Acess to only import new Work order numbers that are not already there and leave any changes I have made to other colums as the report will continue to evolve.

Tables :: Import Data From Excel Into A Table

Jun 1, 2015

User imports data from Excel to a table but i am not sure that the user will import right data into the table.

So in case a error comes due to a record, i want to cancel all the changes/updates done because of that excel file.

i.e if there are 10 records to be imported and error comes while uploading 5th record, then all the 4 records updated earlier should be recalled / reversed / cancelled...

Queries :: Import Excel Data To Two Tables

Nov 18, 2014

I'm trying to automate a repeated data import event. Here's the user process I'm aiming for:

We have a handheld barcode scanner which will be used to enter orders into an excel spreadsheet with the following fields:

PatrolID, UsedDate, ItemsID, NumSignsOut

After scanning in an order, the user will plug the scanner into a computer and download the spreadsheet to a predetermined file location/name.

The user then opens Access and pushes the 'Process Order' button which imports the excel sheet and generates an invoice.

I already have the invoice process working, I'm now trying to get the data import to work. Here's the table structure:

tblSignUsed:
UsedID, PatrolID, UsedDate
tblSignUsedDetail
UsedDetID, UsedID, ItemsID, NumSignsOut
tblSignUsed Joins tblSignUsedDetail ON UsedID = UsedID

tblSignUsedDetail is the line items, tblSignUsed is the orders. Therefore, the import function has to first take the first two columns to generate an order in tblSignUsed and then take the second two columns to generate order details associated with the order which was just created.

How can I import from multiple tables into one table without replacing the destination table.so that the destination table consist of old data and new imported data.

For example: I have table A with date 130205 and I need to import from table B and C which the dates are 130206 and 130207. Those 3 tables already have the same column numbers and data type.

Tables :: After Data Import Primary Key Value Increased Significantly

Feb 2, 2014

I have imported a list from Excel into my database. The primary key is long integer (Indexed no duplicates). After the (successful) import, the next primary key assigned to a new record has jumped from (for example) 15 to 30024455. Why would this be? I have compacted and repaired the database (Access 2007) in case it was some kind of corruption but with no effect. Any primary keys on tables where I have not imported data works as expected i.e. incremented by one.

Tables :: Read A File And Import Its Data Into A Table?

Oct 17, 2014

Was wondering how i can import data from a file to a table in different fields. The data inside the file is described with the number of characters and space's between. The attached file has the data.

For example in the file attached, the first four characters represent a data like 'ticket number' and maybe the third line 6 to 10 charcaters represent 'name of a passenger'.

Now how do i import these data to a table into respective fields in a table.

General :: Connecting Access Database To Website To Import Data Automatically

Jun 30, 2015

I just created a database and need to connect it to the data source. The data comes from a http website (intranet from work). When I open the link using firefox, I can view the website with the data in it, but when I open it from Internet Explorer, I get a save as pop-up message to save a csv file which contains all the data. The extension of the http website ends with csv. So it is something like http (slash slash...) Intranetname/referral_dbase.csv

Currently, I am opening the file using firefox, copying all the data manually, and pasting it in a text file using notepad. After that, I import the file into access. The delimiter of the data is this symbol: |

I am trying to find a way to link my database to the website where the data is located so that I can skip the manual process of opening the website and copying the data and saving it into a text file and then importing that file into access. I was thinking to have like a form in access with a bottom that will automatically import that data from this link and paste it into a table in access using the delimiter symbol mentioned above.

Is this too complicated? Is it even possible in access 2010?

Queries :: Removing Special Characters Where Original Data Length Varies

Mar 1, 2014

I thought I had solved my initial problem of removing the apostrophe character for each zip code field. Most of the fields have data that reads '12345-1234'. I want to remove each (') character and the "-1234" so I end up with a zipcode of 12345.

I created 2 queries for this process. I first run a query with the following statement "Left([ZIP],Len([ZIP])-6)". That gets rid of the "-1234' ".

The I run the second query with this statement "Right([ZIP],Len([ZIP])-6)".

These 2 queries work perfectly if the original zipcode is " '12345-1234' ", but if it is " '12345' ", the entire zipcode is deleted.

I have attached 3 (.jpg)'s to show you what I am talking about.

Tables :: Import Excel Into Table / Overwrite Data Of Fields Imported

Mar 17, 2015

I have a table, which contains many fields, around 90. Out of these 90 Fields, around 40 will be imported from an Excel sheet, which has same headers as the 40 field names in my table, in which they have to get copied.

So when I import data, it copies them as new records, instead what I am looking at is, the records in Excel and in Access table has a Unique Key, so when I import data, matching with this unique key, the fields should be overwritten into those records from Excel, instead of adding new records.

E.g:

Say I have 2 records in my access:

ID(auto generated) Fab_name Issue_ID Location Remarks Data_1 Data_2 Data_3
1 Fab1 193 NY Bug OC DC MC
2 Fab2 641 DRS Error AC KC FC

Now when I am importing data from Excel with the following records:

Fab_name Issue_ID Location Remarks
Fab1 193 NY - GRM Solved
Fab2 641 DRS - SGP Forwarded

So when I import the above data into my Access from Excel, based on Issue ID, it should update the values of different fields that are imported from Excel, leaving other fields (data_1, Data_2, Data_3) as it is.

And I need this to be written as a macro, so that user just has to choose the file, which he has to import.

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 :: Updated Database Won't Save

Feb 26, 2013

I am working on a database. I changed some of the data that was already in the database and it saved without any problems - when I reopened the database, the data was still there. But when I try to input completely new data, none of it will save (it is a database of employees and their information). So, just to make it more understandable, when I change one piece of information, it saves without any problems, but when I want to add a new employee together with their information, save it and reopen the database, it is not there.

General :: Keep Old Field Data For Report After Data Updated

Dec 31, 2012

I have a database with a form called "Main" where users input data and then print a report from it. "Main" has fields in it from another form "Members". This data (from "Members") is shown on "Main' by Dlookup coding, and therefore cannot be selected for input by the user. Now, lets say a user inputs data into "Main" and prints the report on 12/30/2012. On the next day, a member's name is changed and I update that data in the "Members" form. On 12/31, I would like to print the report again, but it shows the updated member's name instead of what is was like on 12/30. How can I keep the old data in case I want to print the report in the future like it was initially printed? What do I need to do to any form(s), report or what VBA code needs to be written?

Keep 5 Similar Tables Updated

Apr 2, 2008

I have 5 tables which comes from different departments in our company.
All of them have the same key "project no" but hold different information in other colums.
As a starting point I have secured that they all have same no. of records meaning all "project no" are in all tables but some table might not contain other information in that record than the project no.
I have put them into a quirie and on a form I am able to look at all data from all 5 tables.
I have linked them one to one and it works fine untill I add a record to one of the tables. Afterwards I am not able to write into fields from other tables because there is no automatic creation of the record in the other tables.
Please How would this be best/easiest to make for me. ?
The reason why I have to keep the 5 tables is that regular updates are avaiable form any of them.

Appricate any comments which can make me any progress.
