Jan 8, 2015I have a database where I record grades for my students. I would like to create a macro so that every time I record a grade as an "F", the student will receive an email that will contain an attachment of their scores. A lot of the information I want to include in this email is in several different tables. So to make it easier, I have created a query that lists the following:
Students name (SName)
Student's email (SEmail)
ID# of the form I use to record their grades (ID)
ID# of the studen'ts work (WorkID)
Date of their work (CreatedDate)
Date I graded their work (AuditDate)
Grade="F" (Accuracy)
How can I create something that will automate emailing of this information--to the individual student with only their information? I am using Access 2010. If I can't automatically send the emails, I would like to create a button in my audit screen that will send a report containing that student's information to them.

Mar 9, 2007Man I thought this would be simple, but it quite clearly isn't!
I have a .csv file that contains around 250 email addresses. I simply want to import these into an Access table, each email creating a new record!
NO using the import function only seems to allow you to import data as long as each separate piece of data is on field in a record! I understand whent this might be the case, but why the hell can I not import it so each piece of data is a separate record in the table!!!!!!!!!!!
Please note I understand some sort of complex query may do it, but I am not that experienced with that yet and so don't know how it's done!
Please can anyone offer a simple solution? From where I am sitting, there does not appear to be one!!!!
Thanks.

Jan 5, 2015I was assigned by my manager to design an Access database system that is able to import all data from excel file monthly and creating charts & tables to analysis how each sales people and industry perform.
We originally have a big excel master sheet that has more than 10 sheets. I tried to import the current excel into access, but then i realized that this is not gonna work. because for next month, there will be new data and I can't do the whole import process over and over. Plus, after this system is designed, the users will be someone who has no knowledge in access, so i need to create a user-friendly system for them to use.
My questions is:since the data is always cumulative number, if I imported current excel file into access, when the next month comes, how to update the new data into excel. p.s. EXP. Mike's sale volume is different each month, and with the access system, for that column, it will be a cumulative number, like the total from the month of November to this month. how do i achieve this kind of update/import goal?I tried to link the excel to access, but by doing that, I will not be able to set relationship or change the attributes of any data type in access.

Import Data From Another DB
Feb 17, 2008so i need to keep 2 DBs with the same forms (But different data) for the purpose of single/double data entry. i have to constantly import forms from DB1 to DB2 because of the form changes, how do i keep the existing data and import it?
when i try to use the import wizard, it always imports the tables as duplicates. so here is the scenario if it helps to explain better:
1: import FORMS/TABLE structure only from DB1 to DB2
2: DB2 is EMPTY, no DATA, just forms/table copied from DB1
3: enter some data into DB2
4: DB1 forms is updated, so I have to re-import the forms to DB2
5: new DB2 is again EMPTY. how do I re-import JUST the DATA portion from previous DB2 version into new DB2?
hope this makes sense. please provide a step-by-step if possible. like what fields to check and how to use the import wizard. thanks very much!

Data Import Challenge
Jan 20, 2006I created a database to assist in analyzing the contents of an Excel spreadsheet (provided by a third-party contract). The format of the data in the spreadsheet is denormalized to look something like the following:
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child1ID Child1Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child2ID Child2Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child3ID Child3Name
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child1ID Child1Name
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child4ID Child4Name
It's important to note that the ChildIDs are NOT unique.
This was not a problem initially because I was able to import the entire worksheet into a single table and then run queries to populate the Parent and Child tables.
HOWEVER, they are now introducing "versioning" in a way that is causing a problem for me. When a new version is being created, they repeat the Parent and ALL of the Child rows, but only put the versioning information on the FIRST Child in the group. (They refuse to repeat the versioning information on all of the rows). So the data now looks like the following:
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child1ID Child1Name EffectiveDate1
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child2ID Child2Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child3ID Child3Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child1ID Child1Name EffectiveDate2
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child2ID Child2Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child3ID Child3Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child5ID Child5Name
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child1ID Child1Name EffectiveDate1
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child4ID Child4Name
I MUST relate all of the Child rows for a particular version to the correct version of the Parent, but have not been able to come up with any idea of how to do so.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to approach this problem?
Import Received Data
Aug 16, 2007I need some advice on what is the best way to import data. I have a access 2003 database that tracks converter boxes that my company sends out for repair. Currently they have a excel file that is imported into the tables which establishes the converters that are out being fixed. When they come back from service they enter the date manually from the packing slip by searching for the converter in the forms search. We now are able to get the received converters on a excel spreadsheet. Is there a way to import the date from the excel file to the access table. Any advice would be great.

Automatic Import Of Data
Oct 27, 2004Hi there all,
I've been using sql for a while now alongside MS Enterpise Manager but have recently been given a few tasks to carry out using access. The time i've got to do my work is quite tight so if you could point me in the direction of some of some good on-line tutorials I would be most appreciative.
However the real reason i'm posting is to ask if there is any way you can automate the importing of data from a text file. I basically need this text file loaded into an access database on a weekly basis, is this possible without user interaction? I fear not.
Cheers for any help

How To Link Data On The Import
Oct 5, 2013I accepted a month long job in putting together an Access database for a trucking company. I don't know how to make the incoming data know that it is related to its perspective field in other tables.Also, I am not understanding is how to link the tables. I have a main table with all the data. It is by date, and has all transactions, which Access assigned a number per transaction as the primary key. Then I have an Employee table (the truck drivers), a Customer table (the truck driver's company), an employee productivity table (includes wages, pay rate, Emp names, etc) and a truck table.
I tried linking the tables, but not sure if it is correct. I linked the Customer and Employee table via an EmpID foreign key in the Customer table. The employee productivity table is linked to the employee table via an EmpProd foreign key in the employee table. And the Customer table is linked to the truck table via a Cust foreign key in the Truck table. The table with all data is indexed to the Emp table, and under relationships the arrow points from the Emp table to the all data table, but there is no one to many (etc.) relationship because I did not know how to establish one. I tried reversing the arrow, but it wouldn't let me. I don’t even know the difference between an indexed link verses a relationship link.
The data itself is not linked. The Employees in the employee table does not know that it is the same field in the other tables. The all data table has EmpName daily info with only about 20 names, but about 4,000 fields. I listed the 20 names in the EmpName field of the tblEmp, but do not understand how to make both tables realize that it is the same field. It does not seem to realize that it is the same field because it does not rearrange the two field data with the correct data. I have this problem with all my tables.
So when I need to add the rest of the data, I don’t think the data knows where to go.
What am I doing wrong?

Data Entry/Import - Advice?
Apr 26, 2006Hi There,
I'm building a database for a friend's company.
My query is really to do with the best way to add new records to their database.
The database has four tables:
[Species] which is linked to multiple loci in the [Locus] table. For each Locus their are multiple alleles in the [Allele] table. Additionally, there is the [Reference] table, each reference can be linked to one or more loci in [Locus].
Users could add a new species, it's loci, the alleles for each locus and select the reference for each locus from a list (or add a new reference) using the Form used to view the data. However, this is very time-consuming when there are a large number of species to add but is easiest for me, as it requires little or no extra coding.
The other way I was thinking, would be to do a kind of batch update from an excel file. This would suit the users better as their data are already in this format.
The problem is that I guess I can't do a simple import spreadsheet due to the one-to-many relationships, as there would be no primary/foriegn keys in the excel sheet.
Would the best way around this be to add the first species, then for this species add the first locus and its alleles, then the next locus and so on.. then the next species? This way I could use the keys as they are generated..
Alternatively, I could get excel to generate the keys, and query the Access database to make sure it is not generating keys already in use. Then I can do a more simple import procedure...
I can do either using VB. Which do you think would be 'best'? Or should I just tell the users they'll have to enter stuff by hand the long way?!
Cheers
Import Delimited Data Specifications
Feb 20, 2007Hi,
I am attempting to import a .csv file into Microsoft Access. The .csv file is a raw data export from an online application used within the business.
One of the fields reported on within the file is unformatted, ie. "free-text". Some users are entering a comma within this "free-text" field, which is throwing my import table out of alignment.
Is there some way that I can continue to import the .csv file, but ignore any commas that appear within this one field.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Import Data And Making Updates To Them
Jun 25, 2007Hi, I need some help with the following problem. Thanks in advance!
I have imported an Excel spreadsheet into Access database. I will need to constantly add new entries to the tables. I need to connect all my tables together, the main table is called "Data". From looking at Access examples, I believer there should be many other table IDs inside this table (so that they all get a relationship). I imported 5 tables, and each one is dependent of each other. I do not know how to connect the tables together because I'm importing all the data, instead of creating new tables and putting the table IDs into one main table to start off with. I know if I start off without needing to import any data, this will not be difficult to do.
The main "Data" has about 30 fields, and the user will only need to type in 15 fields and the rest of the fields can be looked up from the other four tables. So I'm not sure how I can make the connection between all the tables, plus when I need to add new entries to one of the tables, how do I connect the tables so that all of them will be connected?
I've tried using queries and having queries within queries and this takes forever to load. If there is a way that I can limit the use of queries or just use tables to do the job that would be great.
Thanks again!
Import Repeating Data In Txt File
Dec 2, 2004I have read lots about importing files but can't find anything on how to handle importing data that repeats itself in blocks from with in a txt file.
Note that I intend to run the import as an event each time the db is opened.
the data is an audit log that looks like this:
Date: 12-01-2004 Time: 11:16:57
Transaction #: 061318 Cashier ID: NB
Computer: COUNTER2
Sale Recorded. Transaction Total: 2.5
Date: 12-01-2004 Time: 11:20:55
Transaction #: 061319 Cashier ID: NB
Computer: COUNTER2
Sale Recorded. Transaction Total: 5
Date: 12-01-2004 Time: 11:59:48
Cashier ID: RC
Computer: COUNTER2
Deleted All Lines From Transaction
Date: 12-01-2004 Time: 12:01:17
Cashier ID: RC
Computer: COUNTER2
Opened Cash Drawer--NoSale
Whats the best way of doing this.

Import A Csv File And Seperate Bad Data
Jun 15, 2005I want to import a csv file and store the good data (which matches input masks, validation etc) into one table, and all the bad data which is rejected into another table.
I've read a bit about an import error table, and although I do get errors when importing the csv file, no such table is generated.

HOWTO Import Only Table's Data
Nov 14, 2006I want to import data from one DB to another,
but only data without affecting the table structure and names.
In the import dialog box has only two options,
import tables and data
import tables only.
I want the third one ;)
import data only.
Is there any automatic way or do I have to make a VB sub?
What I'm doing now is to importing tables and data
to the second DB, but as u know this results in having every table
twice like Students Students1 Classes Classes1 and so on.
Then I'm removing one by one all the old tables and then renaming every the
Table1 to Table.
As you can imagine this is not a practical solution and it can be implemented only to small DBs, with a small number of tables.
In my case we are talking about a huge DB with over 20 tables,
and the above process (importing data) has to be done at least once per month.
Let me inform you that copying data and only data from one base to another is the only method suits in my case so please avoid suggesting alternative solutions.
Thanks in advance
