Import Is Appending Data To Table

Jan 7, 2005

I want to import an Excel spreadsheet into a table in my Access DB.
I am using following: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 0, "tblSchedule", "C:mailinimport.xls", false
This code works but it is appending to the table.
What is the best way to update the table - or would it be best to delete the old table and then to create a new one to import tha data into?
If the latter would be most elegant solution, can anyone help with some code that would do this ?
Thanks
Mat

Tables :: Appending Data To A Table

Mar 17, 2015

I have a linked ODBC table in my database that contains data like this -

Code:
Task Serial CrewAmount
00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 707308AS30.2
00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 707308OMB0.2
01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 706496AS114.24
01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 706496AS223.24

[Code] .....

What I would like to do is remove the duplicate values for the Task field, but show how much time each Crew has spent on each Task per Serial. The end result would look like this -

Code:
Task SerialAS1AS2AS3OMAOMB
01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 70649614.2423.2428.78
00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 7073080.20.2
01_INSTALL OIL TANK 7073085.67

[Code] ....

What is the best way to achieve this result? I've played around with Append queries, union queries etc, but nothing seems to give me the result I'm after.

Queries :: Appending From One Table To Another Table To Specific Data

Jan 16, 2015

I am developing a database for incoming inspection. I have set up two tables, one with spec callouts per product and the other table contains fields where I want the specs from the tblSpec table to be Append into the tblMeasurement table. Now, within the tblMeasurement table (where I am trying to append specs from the tblSpecs table into), I also have additional fields for actual measurements from received goods.

My plan is as I go through and select the Vendor, it populates the associated products to that vendor (no problem there). When I want to select the product, I would like the specs from the tblSpecs to dumped into the tblmeasurement table that correlates to that product on the form.

How can I have this automatically append after selecting the product? I am not sure if I have my relationships set up correctly or not, but I cannot see to append when I am trying to execute this function while in Query view.
I have the db attached in a zipped format.

General :: Importing Data To A Table And Appending To Another Table

Aug 24, 2014

I have to import a file from an external website into a table (tableA) that I have established. The issue is that I don't need all that data, just specific ones (the website does not allow me to select the specific data to export). I created another table (tableB) to capture the data that I require for my report.

How do I take raw data from tableA to append to tableB the required fields that I want?

Tables :: Appending Data To A Linked Table?

Feb 6, 2014

I have a table in MS Access 2010 that is a link to an external data file in .csv format. I assumed that it was not possible to append data to a linked table until recently. I appended 3 records to the linked table and discovered that the 3 records were appended to the table and the external data file it was linked to.

What am I missing ?

HOWTO Import Only Table's Data

Nov 14, 2006

I 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

Update Table Data From Import

Oct 15, 2006

Hello All,

I currently have a macro that imports data from a spreadsheet and then a query that adds the data into the main table.

But when I want to import new data it deletes the old data out of the table and inserts new data. How can I adjust the query so that it "updates" the new data into the table instead of deleting and then adding?

Another problem is empty records, is there a way of importing data where field 1 has data?

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Import Data From A Form To A Table

Nov 22, 2006

Hi guys,
Iīm a unexperienced user of access and itīs my first post in this forum. Hope to make myself clear.

I have several tables. My problem is rather simple but I didnīt find out to solve it. I searched on the forum but didnīt find it. I might not have the appropriate vocabulary yet to perform an efficient search.

My problem is that I have a form to fill a sales table (Salg). For each entry I need to fill the postnumber and the location. On another table (Poststed) is registered the Postnumber and the location name. On the form I did a combobox to get the post numbers. Then to get the location, In another box, which should come automatically after the "Postnr" has been selected, it should display the "location name". I did a "DLOOKUP" for that:

=DLookUp("[Poststed]";"Postnummer";"[Postnr] ='" & Skjemaer!Salg!Postnr & "'")

and it works fine. The name come automatically.
However, when I validate the "post" then all the data in the boxes are register in the destination table, but not the "location nam". It seems it is not bound to the table because the DLOOKUP function is in the source field.
Does anybody knows how I can bound it to the table.
Or if I should use another way to do the task, Iīm open to any suggetions.
I hope I made myself clear enough.

Thanks for taking the time reading my post

Frederik

Tables :: Import CSV To Table But Only New Data?

Aug 15, 2013

I have a production machine that writes its output to a CSV file every time it produces a good part (several times pr. day). It can produce identical part which means that the mashine will not put in another line in the csv, but just update the no of produced parts. I had to rename the attached file because you can not uploade *.csv files in the forum.

What I want is:

- When someone opens a specific Access db a tabel in the db is updated with all new data from the csv file.

My problem is: How do I make sure that I only get the new data from the Access db.

Modules & VBA :: Import All The Data In PDF Forms To The Table

Jul 11, 2013

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).

Import Data Into Table From Excel Using Command Button

May 18, 2006

I'm looking for someone to help me with a solution to my problem of importing data into a data table.
What I'd like to do is have a command button on a form. When this button is clicked the records in a table are cleared out. Then I'd like for a browse window to come up to locate an Excel file. The user would select this file and the data would be imported into the data table that was just cleared.
Can this be done without too much trouble?

Thanks, Paul

I am trying to automate the function that imports Infopath (.xml) data into access tables. I can have a button run the MenuCommand, but then the users have to go through all of the prompts and I just don't trust them enough to do it properly.

Cannot Export, Import, Copy/paste, Rename Table With Data!

Feb 22, 2006

Hello everyone.

I've been in a new position for a new company for less than three weeks, and I need some help.

The Access database that we use has been in operation since 2002, and it has never been Compacted/Repaired (I asked my coworkers and supposed IT people, and they said "what's that?").

After adding *one* new field, I've reached the horrific "error 3190" (max 255 fields).

I've tried all of the following, allowing at least 12 hours for them to run, but I cannot:
export the data to Excel
import the data into a new database
copy/paste the records (because there are 12100+ and the max is 9500, I think; and because of the way the dd/mm/yy converted itself to dd/mm/yyyy)
or rename the table with the data.

Please, someone help me.

Tables :: Import Excel Into Table / Overwrite Data Of Fields Imported

Mar 17, 2015

I have a table, which contains many fields, around 90. Out of these 90 Fields, around 40 will be imported from an Excel sheet, which has same headers as the 40 field names in my table, in which they have to get copied.

So when I import data, it copies them as new records, instead what I am looking at is, the records in Excel and in Access table has a Unique Key, so when I import data, matching with this unique key, the fields should be overwritten into those records from Excel, instead of adding new records.

E.g:

Say I have 2 records in my access:

ID(auto generated) Fab_name Issue_ID Location Remarks Data_1 Data_2 Data_3
1 Fab1 193 NY Bug OC DC MC
2 Fab2 641 DRS Error AC KC FC

Now when I am importing data from Excel with the following records:

Fab_name Issue_ID Location Remarks
Fab1 193 NY - GRM Solved
Fab2 641 DRS - SGP Forwarded

So when I import the above data into my Access from Excel, based on Issue ID, it should update the values of different fields that are imported from Excel, leaving other fields (data_1, Data_2, Data_3) as it is.

And I need this to be written as a macro, so that user just has to choose the file, which he has to import.

Appending Data From Excel

Jan 4, 2006

How do you import data from excel using fields that already exist? In other words, I need Access to append the data to the records rather than try and add it to the recordset and throw a tizzy when duplicates are created.

Thanks....
