I have one locked mdb file. When i import the objects like table, querues and forms. I can import all apart my all forms. It shows "microsoft helps protect this visual basic for applications project with a password. You must supply the password in the visual basic editor before you can perform this operation".
View RepliesI am about to start creating a db where the client wants me to afterwards make a template which at the click of a button in a form they will be able to select that file and it will directly import it into the correct fields i set it to.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).
The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "Activitate", filename, True
gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.
Here's the code:
Sub ImportActivitate()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename's
Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files
Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
[code]....
Also, how can I make the routine stop cycling through the files after I renamed them all?
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 updated my copy of a database which included updates to a number of forms. I now want to import those changes into the proper database, so I used the Import function. I didnt get any errors when I imported everything, but the forms do not work as they did in my copy of the database.
One of the forms that dont work comprises of a number of drop down boxes, I have updated these so that the user has a filtered selection, to do this I put an SQL function in the Row Source property. This SQL function has been copied over correctly in the imported form, in fact when I go into the form in design view to check this fact then revert it back to normal view (after having not changed anything) it then works and all the other drop down boxes that didnt work on that form now work! How can viewing a form in design view and not changing anything make it now work?
So I could go into each form in the design view, check the Row Source property, then revert back to normal view and it would solve the problem of my forms not working, but, this database that I am importing the forms into is the back end of a split database and the first thing that the front end of the database does is import the changed objects into its database but the forms dont work.I have made changes in this way before and not had any problems before.
Table name :TblMain
Field 1 : Bkg_Number (text)
field 2 : Container no (text)
Field 3 : Size (text)
Field 4 : Weight (number)
Table Name : TblBooking
Field 1 : Bkg_NUmber(text)
Field 2 : Customer (text)
field 3 : Vessel (text)
Field 4 : Voyage (text)
field 5 : Ttlcntrs (number)
First feeding data in the Tblbooking and creating a booking number. In the same time enters Total containers (ttlcntrs) for the booking. Then, importing some data to Tblmain by using Excel. Booking number is one of the columns importing. My question is, if number of records in the excel file, exceeds the number of total containers (Ttlcntrs) defined in the Booking table, error msg should be given and stop the import process.
I have a fill-in pdf form, with fields that match database table fields. My database is in SQL, but I use Access for the forms and reports.
The users will go on-site (and be offline), fill out the pdf forms a bunch of times and come back with a folder of them.
I am looking for a way to have a form where a user can choose a folder (maybe on an access form) and say "import PDFs" and then have all the data in the PDF forms import to the table. A lot of other stuff has to happen in that process (checking the project number on the form, assigning an ID tag for that item, etc).
I have requirement to automate the process to load .CSV files onto MS Access on daily bases. I am new to MS Access.
Note: No other technologies are used like JAva, C#, etc.
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 wanna create a button in form which can allow me to import database and when i select my file , i can select just the variable that i need .
View 2 Replies View Relatedi am trying to add an import command button to a form so that personnel not familiar with Access can simply push the button and then select the file to import. I want it to import information to a specific table by replacing all records in the current table with the import. I am not the best at coding, but I can understand enough to figure out what I may need to do.
I will be exporting a table to excel from the database. Multiple people will have this database and often times will not be able to access a shared database, so I need to export the table and then set up a way for them to import the excel document into their database by deleting the information in the old one and then updating to the new one.
Hi all,
At the moment i am trying to produce a button which my users can click on to import some data from Excell to Access.
When i just go through it manually, ie file> import etc, the table fom Excel appears in access perfectly, but when i try using my button it brings up the following message:
Field 'F1' doesn't exist in the destination table 'Sheet2'.
The button runs off a macro. This is what i have for each option:
Action:TransferSpreadsheet
Transfer type: Import
Spreadsheet type:Microsoft Excel 3
Table name:Sheet2
File name:the file location
Has filed names:No
Range:
I would be grateful if anyone could help and let me know where i am going wrong.
Thankyou
Can someone give me a general guide to this
i have a file of invoices
each invoice has a header, and multiple lines
if you import using external file/import access just constructs tables of each individual xml tag, populated with the various values, not linked in any way
how do you get an invoice table, and invoice line table, etc, populated with appropriate data.
I guess this will be my last plea for help as to why an xml file will import the data into access 2003 (on my home PC) but not import the data, only the fields, on my work PC.
In both importings I'm indicating to indicate data and structure. Could it be the difference between versions? Perhaps a restriction at the end of my work environment?
Help....
Hello Friends,
Please I need a help to import data from a table in another database exist on another computer via Internet.
Thank you
Hello,
I am not sure if this topic has been coverd in access-programmers forum but I'll ask any way.
I have thousands of records stored in excel (1NF). I have a access db to improve the need to have so many records duplicated.
Is their a way, via an action query (if so what one - update, append, cross tab etc) or another method to import the records and put them into related table.
For example, the current 1NF record columns are as follows >
typeOrgcntPrecntForcntIntcntSurjobTitIdcntPMCcntLandcntMobilecntFaxcntEmailcntBCcntAcccntConfcntLescntTBcntTRcntBanqcntMisccntNotesChaseorgNameorgAddrorgAddr2orgCityorgCountyorgPoCodeorgLandlineorgFaxorgEmailorgURLclientOfappVenueappD8appTypescrNameorgNotes
In my DB i have seperated the above into many table.
Here is a list of new tables with colums >
Table Contact -
cntID orgID cntPre cntFor cntIntcntSurjobTitIdcntPMCcntLandcntMobilecntFaxcntEmailcntBCcntAcccntConfcntLescntTBcntTRcntBanqcntMisccntNotes scrName
Table Organisation -
orgID typeOrg orgNameorgAddrorgAddr2orgCityorgCountyorgPoCodeorgLandlineorgFaxorgEmailorgURLclientOf orgNotes
Table Appointments -
AppID cntID appVenueappD8appType
Of course as organisation is the parent table, their is no problem doing a simple cut and paste, but i can work out how to put related records in a related table. Can you help?
Not sure where to post this question, so I put it in the general section,
I have an old db that i would like to import into a new be db of a newer version i wrote of this db. Is there any way something like an append query will add the records from one database to another?
or do i have to import then append then delete?
I have read several posts on this forum reference importing but all of them are from excel spreadsheets. Can this even be done??

I have been asked to recreate an existing database which was done in FileMaker into Access.
Rather than re-enter all the data which is in there, can I just import it into Access?
I tried exporting the FileMaker data into Lotus 123 format and then inporting it to Access that way. Filemaker has a bad habit of not exporting duplicate entries. I need this data as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I created my own menu bar in one MS Access file, let's say db1.mdb.
Can I import it to another database file (let's say db2.mdb)?
Thanks.
Hi
I have got a Microsoft Access Database table with a few hundered records, I have got a excel or csv file with the same table but its got changes, deleted records and new records added.
What I want to do is replace the info in the access table with the new data that I want to import in. But I don't want duplicates and I want it to add, delete, modify records.
I know in MySQL you can use a Replace Query that does what I want. But the database I am working on is Microsoft Access.
Is their a solution in MS Access that I can tell it to point to a Excel Spreadsheet, or csv file and replace existing records with the changes, delete and add.

Hi.
I have a db, where the main table is linked via an ODBC connection to a SQL server db.
Want I would like to do is, either by code or a macro, import the information from the ODBC link , rather than "File", "Get External Data" etc etc.
This way, the code or macro would run everytime the db is closed, and the information is stored in the db as a table..... just as a backup
I have tried the various "Transfer Database" with macros, but nothing seems to work
I don't know whether this would have any bearing on the answer but I do not have write permisisons on the SQL server, and it does not have a primary key.......as far as I am aware.
Many Thanks.
Frank.
Hi,
I'm using Access 2000.
I use a feedback form on my website to receive my customer details by email.
Currently I print out the data and type it into my form.
I can alter my feedback form so the data in the email is seperated by comma's.
Is there anyway I could import the comma seperated values directly into my database rather than typing each one in by hand?
Or could anyone recommend a different method of transferring the data from the email please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many, many, many thanks!
I need to import a form to an access 2007 database (from another access
2007 database) but on the External Data menu group, under the Import section,
the Access option is greyed out (all other options are available).
I performed this same function yesterday and the Access option wasn't greyed
out.
I've also opened up yesterday's backup of the DB and the Access option is
greyed out in that too...
Any help would be appreciated.
I am having to import data from a txt file on a daily basis. The date format in one of the fields is:30-Sep-2004 09:40:57 PM EDT. I want this to be in a short date format. I don't care about the time at all. If I try to import the data with this field set to Date/Time (regardless of format) it simply deletes the data in that field and goes to the next. If I import it as a Text field, it brings the date in as above.
Once the data is imported to the table, I can change the property of the field to Date/Time --> Short Date and it does the conversion. Is there a way to do this conversion automagically? I can't quite get any of the queries to work.
TIA for the help.

I'm trying to import some data from an excel sheet to a table in my database. The import wizard won't allow me to import the data into an existing table, only into a new one which is a nuisance. The data formats are the same. Any idea's what might me wrong Please.
Thanks

I 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!
