Import From Another Database
Aug 15, 2005
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'm new to Access and VBA, for the record. What I need to do is copy a SQL database (table structures and records) and save it as a local Access database, so that the user can query and make any changes on the local file without editting the SQL database.
Looking around, it seems like the best option would be to use the TransferDatabase method with the acImport option. Does this sound reasonable, or can someone with more experience suggest a better way to go about it? Thanks.

I have two databases. One is 'live', one is for development. Once i get something working in the latter, I import it into the former. This has been working fine for just over two months.
Today, however, i'm trying to import a form and get one of the following messages:
"The search key was not found in any Record"
"No current record"
I'm unable to import the form.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

I am trying to help a person that has a 1980s DOS database called "SMART". The program "smart" will output the database in a format that Access should be able to read, but it can't read the full file.
Any obvious ideas about what might be the problem?

Hi All,
I have a split database. One of the processes I've
created, copies a new table from a previously created
blank table. It then imports data from an Excel spreadsheet
into the newly created table. My problem is that now when
the import occurs, the data is getting imported into both
the new table as well as the blank table. For some reason,
this only occcurs after the database is split. I've tested on
a backup copy that is not split and everything works fine.
Any ideas please?
Thanks,

I want my access database to store information about "tests" and "products" that are in each "test". So "tests" is the "one" and "products" is the "many" (each test has many products).My client needs to routinely send me lists of tests and the products that are in each test. I then need to put this information in to my database
I don't want to type out the information they send me, instead I want to devise a simple form for them to complete and email to me (perhaps in excel) that they populate, and I then import/paste in to my database.How should the excel form be structured so that it is both easy for my client to populate and easy for me to import/paste in to my database. e.g. importing lots of test and product information, rather than type it in. Bearing in mind the 1:M structure.

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

I've posted this in the 'General' forum, but without success, so I'm trying here.
I have two databases. One is 'live', one is for development. Once I get something working in the latter, I manually import it into the former (File - Get External data - Import). This has been working fine for just over two months.
Today, however, i'm trying to import a form and get one of the following messages:
"The search key was not found in any Record"
"No current record"
I'm unable to import the form. I also get the same error messages if i try to copy and paste the form within its own database.
The form in question has a lot of lengthy code behind various combo boxes, text boxes, etc. When I attempt to look at this code (via right-clicking on a field and going to Properties and the Event tab), none of it is present any more.
What's going on? This form took weeks to get working and now it can't be copied, renamed or imported, plus it appears to have been 'wiped' of everything but the visual features.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Can one form become 'corrupt'? If so, please say that there's some way to remedy it?

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.

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.

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?

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 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?

I imported an Office 2010 excel file into Access 2010. All the headers match.
All the data transfered, but the phone numbers.
In Design View, the phone numbers are listed as numbers, not text.
Then I tried to copy the two columns from Excel and past into the two columns in the database. No go. It did create a new table called Paste Errors.
How do I move that into the Table that I first created?
I need to know how to get the phone numbers in their because I need to import several other excel files into this table.

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?
