Import Excell File Into Different Database

Sep 20, 2006

Hi all, I'm trying to get the following done:
I have code which import Excel files into my database with the "DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet". which works great.
But I'm now splitting the database and I want to have the Excel files which a user selects in his frontend database, imported in my backend database. I don't see the possibility in the TransferSpreadsheet as this is set to the CurrentDb.
My temporary solution is to import in the frontend and CopyObject to the Backend, but does anyone have a direct solution?

Thanks, Rob

Import Multiple Excell Files

Jan 16, 2008

Super new to the forums and hoping I can find an answer here.
After looking for an hour or so on Microsoft's site, I gave up and decided to venture into new resources.

My ultimate goal is to create a form that will prompt a user to select a Microsoft Excel file and then run a macro. The macro should import the Excel file into a single table based off of what form is being run. The idea is to have a single form for each employee of a specific department and have the form import information that is stored on our phone server into access. I've set up most of the macro but the argument section of the filename is what's hanging me up.

So finally my question;
Is there a way to have a macro run to specify what file you want to import when using an additional macro? Am I going about this the completely wrong way and should stick to VB Code?

I look forward to your responses, thank you in advanced!

Disable File Import On The Database

Nov 29, 2004

I have a secure MS Access database, where users by default can only read data, but not write. How can I prevent them from importing or linking files, or inserting objects? I don't want to use any passwords in my database, since it's used inside the application. Thank you.

Import Partial Excel File Into Database

Apr 12, 2012

I have created a database with approximately 30 columns, 1st column being a primary key. At the end of the database there are 5 columns. We will call them VWXYZ.

One of my users wants to be able to update VWXYZ via importing an Excel document to the existing table. He does NOT want fields 1-25 updated. He is editing his Excel document to only include the primary key and then VWXYZ with the same exact column names. When he imports, it sets 2-25 to blank and updates VWXYZ to the updated information.

How can he import an Excel document that only updates VWXYZ?

Modules & VBA :: Allow A User To Navigate To A Text File And Import It To A Database

Aug 19, 2013

We have a function that will allow a user to navigate to a text file and import it to a database. I've been asked to make it import ALL the text files from all sub-directories in the directory IF they've never been imported before (based on FileName and LastModifiedDate). I've set up a table to track what's getting imported (tbl_ImportHistory). I'm thinking what I need to do is use the previous coder's GetFileName function in a recursive loop removing the navigation request and adding the comparison and then, if it imports the file, the name and date need to be added to the tbl_ImportHistory table. But I'm completely unsure of how to do it.

I'm posting the GetFileName function below. I believe once I've got it modified the rest of the code can be left intact as it just parse's and loads whatever file is selected in the GetFileName function.

<code>
Function GetFileName() As String
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
fd.AllowMultiSelect = False
Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant

[code]....

Import CSV File From Database PRO To Access: Unusual Record Splitting Problem

Jul 19, 2006

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to import data from our current Database Pro v1.0 DB to an Access DB that I'm creating.

Our DBPRO is essentially a flat-file data entry program. It has a "subform" for history events that isn't actually in it's own table, but all concatenated in a single [History] field.

Basically, when viewed in DBPRO, it's broken into different records, yet it's actually stored as one. DBPRO uses °, ±, □, and 0's to separate the different "fields", but Access can't seem to break it down automatically.

When I export the data to a CSV file, everything else comes through with minimal problems. The [History] field, of course, comes in as a huge block of concatenated records.

I've attached an example of this below. I included only the field in question, ([History]), and the primary key, ([Last Name/Cust]). The first tab in my example is a single record, recently imported. The second tab shows how I need it to be, broken into multiple records.

Is there anyway I can split these records, while maintaining the primary key? It's my goal to have all the other information in one table, and the history records in a separate one.

Thanks so much for your help! I've researched all over, and just can't seem to find a similar problem, or solution. :(

Text File To MS Excel Multiple File Import Application

Jul 20, 2006

hello,

I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).

I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?

How Can I Get The Table Descrip. Into Excell?

Dec 14, 2004

hi!

I've got a database with about 200 tables and have to make sense of it. There
are no relationships and it is a little bit difficult to understand this mess. Is there any
way how I could export only the table descriptions into an excel file? I want to end up with two columns.
The first should contain the table name, and the second should contain its attribute/field names.
Bit like:
table1 attribute1
table1 attribute2
table2 attribute1
...
I'm new to access so it would be very nice if you could explain any steps in some detail.

Thanks already!

HELP HELP! Automate Import Of A .csv File

Nov 8, 2005

I was working on project that involved writing the data into Access database using a C program. The insert query execution was taking very long, so I decided to write to a .csv file and then import it to one of the desired tables. This worked very fast as compared to directly writing to the DB. Now I want to automate this process. The user should specify the file name at the command prompt and I want to call a script so that the script automatically imports the contents of the .csv file into the access DB. I already have connection established to the DB. All I am looking for is the script that can automatically import the .csv file into access DB. Please help me out. :confused:

Import File Problem

Jan 18, 2007

:mad: Hi,

I m really struggling now with this problem.

I am importing a csv file with addresses and Post Codes on into a Properties Table. However, when I import the csv file, there is another field in the table called Area. I want the import routine to somehow use a lookup table that will contain all Post Codes and what Area they are in and then insert the relevant Area in each record in the properties table. I have tried using DLOOKUP in an update query but this just inserts the first Area in the lookup table into all records in the Property Table.

Any help would be much appreciated.

CSV File Import To AC97

Mar 4, 2008

A curious problem, I import CSV data into an AC97 table and this has worked without any problems for years. However we have recently taken on a new member of staff and one of the fields being loaded are his initials 'SF' and this results in Import errors. I tested any other letters 'ME','MF' etc. and no problem - is 'SF' some kind of reserved word ?.
Simple solution - call him 'SEB' not 'SF', but I wondered if anybody else has come across this ?

Import From A Text File

Dec 17, 2004

Hi
I have a log file that records an action in following format.
50144021 12-17-2004 21:00:44 Mail Sent Subject: Test file TO: bert@xxxxxx.com

I want my database to look into this file and return the date/time of the last send in the log to match up with a record in one of my tables that has following fields: "email","last sent", "subject". ( The match will be done on the email address)

I can therefore look at each record and identify when each email address was last sent the file

Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Import Txt File But NOT The First Three Lines?

Oct 19, 2005

I have a csv file, I am able to import it using the vba commande docmd.TransferText action. But the first three lines are made up of headers. I do not want to import these.

xxxxx,
xxxxx,
Field1, Field2, Fileld3,

Is there a way that I skip out the first 3 lines of the text file? ie only import from row 4 onwards?

Please Help

My current transfer method also creates a table of errors for the first three lines (as they do not match the data type spoecified by the target table). It also creates a whole lot of null fields in the first three rows of the table. I am running a loop for a whole lot of csv files so you can imagine I'm generating a lot of error import table. If I could import only rows 4 onwards there would be peace in the universe!

Import Excel File

Apr 3, 2007

Does anyone know if there is a special way to import a CSV file starting from a specific row. I have CSV files and the first row is header information. The file info doesn't actually start until the second row. I know I can write a MODULE to do the task but is there an import specification I can use?

Cheers,

Text File Import

Sep 5, 2007

Hi all. Another question that i hope ya'll can answer.


I'm trying to take a comma divided text file and import the raw data from there into one Access table to allow for various data manipulations with the end result being a very nice printable report. Unfortunately, I can only get the data in a plain text file, and not a CSV file.

What I'm looking for is a method to where I can import one or many of these text files into a database at one time via a fairly automatic process (pressing a button to load all the text files in a given directory would work), and have the data filtered according to the pre-defined variables in the text file itself (which could just be pre-entered into the database as a template). How would I go about doing this?

p.s. If anyone wants to see an Excel file of a manual data sort to see what i'm talking about, please e-mail me and I'll send it off.

p.p.s. Thanks for any help you can give me

raw text file data (there's more, but this will suffice as an example):

price,volRemaining,typeID,range,orderID,volEntered ,minVolume,bid,issued,duration,stationID,regionID, solarSystemID,jumps,
