Hi,
Im trying to import a spreadsheet from Excel. I use the wizard and I get the sheet imported. The only problem is that I get additional blank fields in my table in Access. How can I make sure that this does not happen? I want to keep on importing into the same table, so these useless empty fields keep on accumulating.
Any help?
Thanx,
Stacey
I have comboboxes on forms that i have entered the values for the drop down list in.They are on a form with textboxes and go through a one to many relationship via an intermediate table.I deleted one value from the list as it was no longer required and i also deleted the records that used to use that name.
When i looked at the list, the value is still there?I tried inserting a new Combo Box - the same?Will it clear if i create a new blank Database and import everything?
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.
I have two tables (Table 1, Table 2). Table 1 is blank and has the fields "Field1, Field2, and Field3." Table 2 has data and 10 different fields ("Field1, Field2", etc). I want to copy all data from the matching fields in Table 2 to the corresponding Table 1. I've tried an Update Query in design view. Did not join any records, and just a simple:
Field: Field 1
Table: Table 1
Update To: [Table2]![Field5]
This returns 0 records to update. I thought about a Make Table to override the entire Table, but that isn't working either.
I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
I have a database on a server which has worked fine for some years now. Today i tried to install a new FE and I needed to run the Linked Table wizard to connect to the BE.
When I opened the Linked Table option I could not view any of the links with the new FE or run the wizard. I kept the original FE and after checking this found the table was blank although it was still correctly linked.
I received a error report: 'Method 'List' object 'IFieldListWnd' failed and also that the wizard may be missing from the registry or disabled. Nothing is disabled and I have done a 'Compact & Repair' and still receive the problem.
Through searching this forum i have found that there is a Bug in Access 2003 & it related to an Accwiz.dll file which may not be registered on the PC's or may be an earlier version than the installed version of Access. Checking this has not sorted the problem if it in fact relates to this. Nothing has been reinstalled on the PC's as far as Office is concerned.
Any thoughts or guidance would be welcome.
Thank you.
OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
what else can I do?
Thanks
I am trying set up some criteria for a create table query. I am using multiple fields from different tables, I am trying to delete certain feilds if they meet the criteria. I am using iif([letter c_last]=[letter a_last],null,[letter c_last]) in the criteria for letter c last, but when I run it a box appears to enter criteria for the last name field? I want it to look at the field not for data to be entered manually. I hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have run into some problems though. I have one main table where all the details of users are imported, I have created several queries for different types of courses users sign up for. I would like that when I select a query it only shows the users who signed up for certain course.So basically what I would like to do is if a field is empty or null to hide the whole row.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have lots of CSV files that are per day and are as follows:
File 1:
Username Time
Bob 2
Joe 6
File 2:
Username Time
Joe 8
Sue 6
Essentially what I want to do is import each file into one table where if the username is not in the database it creates it, if its already in there a new column is created with the date. I dont mind creating multiple tables for each date and merging them.
So after those two files above were imported my table would look like this:
Username Time1 Time2
Bob 2 0
Joe 6 8
Sue 0 6
There are not many individual dates for that to be a problem, but there are over 5k different usernames in each file so I can't eyeball anything lol.
I am fairly new to access, but I am seasoned in MYSQL and Oracle. I've done some light searching on these forums and have not really come accross anything I need.
Thanks!
Here's another question similar to my previous. Is it possible to have a macro prompt me for the path to a specific file/table I want to import?

I have a report that is derived from a table (tblDocs) the structure of the table is:
EmpId docType docDate comments
(number) (number) (Date) (text)
This table will have several entries for each employee. There will only be a few times that a comment will be entered. On my report, I will have a field for the comments and I would like ALL of the comments for each employee combined into one text box in the report There will be blank entries in most of the records). I think the control source for this might be a query, but not sure. I set the properties of the text box to can grow.
I have an Access table with data fields however at after the last field column, I have about 15 blank and unselectable or uneditable columns that I don't want there. How I delete these? Reason I want to delete them is because table is a subform on a main form and these extra columns are visible on it and they also cause a scroll bar to shown
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created a forum that all fields are unbound. On completing it is written to the table using a RunSQL command. This writes to the table with no problem but when it does so it is creating another entry with zero content. This is the save steps with open new form
Code:
Private Sub SaveRecordAddNew_Click()
Call PreSaveCheck
If Me.saveCheck = False Then
Exit Sub
Else
Call WriteToTable

I have a PivotTable that I am trying to put together that will give me the following:
Types of Payments - Left
Accounts Where Payments came from - Top
Amount of Payments - Data
I want it to look like a spreadsheet where it will show me all the Types of Payments even though I don't have any data in there. Almost like an Excel Spreadsheet but I want it in Access. I was able to get the Columns to show up even though I had some blanks but now I need the Rows to show up.
How can I check if a table contains blank fields/values.
If there are blank fields I want to replace them with 0.
I have made a search form for my company, where all the data is put simply into the tables and i have made a search form to search with the selected fields, it was working at first, but now it just displays blank table when i search.I am using ms access 2007.Here is the sql of the query::
Code:
SELECT
ClientT.[Project Number],
ClientT.[Client Surname],
ClientT.[Client Name],

I have a form with a drop down that links to a table where a user can select or type a record, If they type a record that isn't in the table, the form goes completely blank.
Is there a afterupdate event I can do so that if the record doesn't exist, then a msg prompts and the form isn't completely blank?
How I can automatically remove blank records from access table??
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to know how to add a blank filed (memo), called "comments" that is not pulled in from any existing table, in an existing maketable query which is getting it's fields from different linked tables , so that the destination table that comes out of this query, has all those data along with an extra column for me to add comments.

Who can help me out?? :confused:
I am looking for 2 scripts
1) for exporting an existing table with data to an seperate MDB file
(filename to be given by user using a dialogbox)
2) importing the MDB file (from question 1) back into the existing table in
the original database. Script does not have to worry for dublicate data.
I want to import tables from one mdb file to another mdb file without relationship using code. Anyone have the code?
Thanks.
