Import Received Data
Aug 16, 2007
I need some advice on what is the best way to import data. I have a access 2003 database that tracks converter boxes that my company sends out for repair. Currently they have a excel file that is imported into the tables which establishes the converters that are out being fixed. When they come back from service they enter the date manually from the packing slip by searching for the converter in the forms search. We now are able to get the received converters on a excel spreadsheet. Is there a way to import the date from the excel file to the access table. Any advice would be great.

My department handles all two-way email communication with our customers. We have 8 different email addresses that we use depending on the customer service issue. I'm looking for a way to continuously collect 3 pieces of data from every email that is received: 1) Date Received, 2) Time Received, and 3) To Field (which of the 8 email addresses it was sent to).
As you can imagine the collection of this data to look for trends to assist with staffing needs, as well as analyze build reports for the company to review. I've been working with my IT department on this but they are not sure where to start. My guess is that I need to have them collect the data as it is coming into the email server, right? I'm good with VB and I've built some VBA scripts recently that collect Outlook information, but these only work if the computer I'm using stays on all the time which is not always practical. We'd like to have this database stored on one of our shared drives which collects this data indefinitely from our email server.

Hi,
I want to run a query that returns only records where we haven't received 2 items for them from a possible 4. I can't seem to get my head around it!
At the moment I have:-
Recd Date 1Recd Date 2Recd Date 3Recd Date 4
Is Null Is Null
Is Null Is Null
Is Null Is Null
Is Null Is Null
Is Null Is Null
Is Null Is Null
But obviously this isn't correct as it would return all records! I only want to show records, which haven't got 2 received dates.
I thought about counting the number of received dates in a record but wasn't sure how to code this up?
Any ideas gratefully received!
Thanks,
Dan

I'm a novice Access 2003 user who doesn't know any VBA. I've been trying to devise a database for a college library to record which newspapers are delivered each day. I have 2 tables at the moment: Newspapers and Deliveries.
Newspapers consists of Name (primary key), Price, and a Yes/No field for each day of the week. Deliveries consists of Name and Date.
My problem is in constructing a form to deal with selecting which papers have been delivered each day. The Yes/No field for each newspaper should be used to choose which ones to show on the form (i.e. some newspapers are delivered weekly on certain days and I don't want these showing on the other days).
Any help appreciated.

I'm trying to add items received to my inventory table. If the item is already in the table, I just want to update the number and cost etc. If the item is not in the inventory table I want to add it. My problem is determining which item in the source table is already in the target table so I can either update of add. how to find an item number in target table by looping through the source table?
Here's the code I've written which doesn't work.
Dim I As Integer
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim rs2 As Recordset
Set rs = Nothing
Set rs2 = Nothing
Set db = CurrentDb
[code]....

I have a query that lists the total number of parts received by month. I would like to be able to compare those monthly totals with a rolling 12 month total. I've been able to get the rolling 12 month total, but I can only get it to work for one 12 month period.
Is there a way to get a 12 month total for each month? In other words for April, I would like a 12 month total of May 2013 through April 2014. For May, I would like a 12 month total of June 2013 through May 2014. Is that possible? If so, how would you go about doing it?
I have a field in my table titled REL_MONTH that shows a negative number for how many months ago something is (i.e. 00 = May, -1 = April, -2 = March).

I was assigned by my manager to design an Access database system that is able to import all data from excel file monthly and creating charts & tables to analysis how each sales people and industry perform.
We originally have a big excel master sheet that has more than 10 sheets. I tried to import the current excel into access, but then i realized that this is not gonna work. because for next month, there will be new data and I can't do the whole import process over and over. Plus, after this system is designed, the users will be someone who has no knowledge in access, so i need to create a user-friendly system for them to use.
My questions is:since the data is always cumulative number, if I imported current excel file into access, when the next month comes, how to update the new data into excel. p.s. EXP. Mike's sale volume is different each month, and with the access system, for that column, it will be a cumulative number, like the total from the month of November to this month. how do i achieve this kind of update/import goal?I tried to link the excel to access, but by doing that, I will not be able to set relationship or change the attributes of any data type in access.

I'm trying to automate some processes. My company uses Outlook 2010 and every day we need to go into our "Sent" folder and rename the Subject line of all of our sent emails. We change the subject to a standardized format depending on the content of the email and who the email was sent to. These are then used as part of an equation to tally our Transactions Per Hour. (TPH)
I've already designed a small Access 2010 utility to track the TPH, but I would like to add the functionality to parse some data from the subject lines of my "Sent" folder, and automatically make changes to save some time.
Here is my thought process:
- Click "Process Sent Emails" button from TPH utility.
- Access runs through each email in the "Sent" folder (or perhaps only selected emails) and changes the Subject line per simple Select Case criteria (I can figure that part out).

I would like to create a query to show only the Work Orders that all parts ordered have been received.For the Work Order, each part ordered has a "complete" yes/no checkbox.If I use that field in the criteria of the query, it does return only parts that are "complete." However, it still shows me a Work Order where there are parts ordered but not received "not complete." how to set the query to exclude those cases and only return Work Orders that all parts ordered on the Work Order are received "complete."

I have the below listed expression, which will give me the earliest date of when documents were received.
However, if I only have a date in the "B - Datasheets" field, it will not appear on my report because it starts off "isnull".
How can I end the expression to use this date field if there are no other dates?
Submittal: IIf(Not IsNull([BID_PO]![B - Datasheets]) And [BID_PO]![B - Datasheets]<[BID_PO]![C - Curves (Performance Data)] And [BID_PO]![B - Datasheets]<[BID_PO]![D - Schematics] And [BID_PO]![B - Datasheets]<[BID_PO]![E - Drawings],[BID_PO]![B - Datasheets],IIf(Not IsNull([BID_PO]![C - Curves (Performance Data)]) And [BID_PO]![C - Curves (Performance Data)]<[BID_PO]![D - Schematics] And [BID_PO]![C - Curves (Performance Data)]<[BID_PO]![E - Drawings],[BID_PO]![C - Curves (Performance Data)],IIf(Not IsNull([BID_PO]![D - Schematics]) And [BID_PO]![D - Schematics]<[BID_PO]![E - Drawings],[BID_PO]![D - Schematics])))

I want to import data into a table from a csv file. The table is failry lengthy but to try this out I have the following:
tblTest - the table I want the data to end up in
tblTestcsv - the intermediate table I empty then put the csv data into
test.csv - the csv file (obviously)
I have used somde code which gets the data into the tblTestcsv OK but then doesn't move it into the tblTest - I get an error each time.
Dim sSql As String
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "tblTestcsv", sFileLocation, False
sSql = "INSERT INTO tblTest (forename,surname,phone) " & _
"SELECT F2,F3,F4" & _
"FROM tblTestcsv"
CurrentDb.Execute sSql
Any help as to waht I am doing wrong would be gratefully received.

so i need to keep 2 DBs with the same forms (But different data) for the purpose of single/double data entry. i have to constantly import forms from DB1 to DB2 because of the form changes, how do i keep the existing data and import it?
when i try to use the import wizard, it always imports the tables as duplicates. so here is the scenario if it helps to explain better:
1: import FORMS/TABLE structure only from DB1 to DB2
2: DB2 is EMPTY, no DATA, just forms/table copied from DB1
3: enter some data into DB2
4: DB1 forms is updated, so I have to re-import the forms to DB2
5: new DB2 is again EMPTY. how do I re-import JUST the DATA portion from previous DB2 version into new DB2?
hope this makes sense. please provide a step-by-step if possible. like what fields to check and how to use the import wizard. thanks very much!

I created a database to assist in analyzing the contents of an Excel spreadsheet (provided by a third-party contract). The format of the data in the spreadsheet is denormalized to look something like the following:
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child1ID Child1Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child2ID Child2Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child3ID Child3Name
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child1ID Child1Name
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child4ID Child4Name
It's important to note that the ChildIDs are NOT unique.
This was not a problem initially because I was able to import the entire worksheet into a single table and then run queries to populate the Parent and Child tables.
HOWEVER, they are now introducing "versioning" in a way that is causing a problem for me. When a new version is being created, they repeat the Parent and ALL of the Child rows, but only put the versioning information on the FIRST Child in the group. (They refuse to repeat the versioning information on all of the rows). So the data now looks like the following:
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child1ID Child1Name EffectiveDate1
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child2ID Child2Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child3ID Child3Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child1ID Child1Name EffectiveDate2
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child2ID Child2Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child3ID Child3Name
Parent1ID Parent1Name Child5ID Child5Name
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child1ID Child1Name EffectiveDate1
Parent2ID Parent2Name Child4ID Child4Name
I MUST relate all of the Child rows for a particular version to the correct version of the Parent, but have not been able to come up with any idea of how to do so.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to approach this problem?

Hi there all,
I've been using sql for a while now alongside MS Enterpise Manager but have recently been given a few tasks to carry out using access. The time i've got to do my work is quite tight so if you could point me in the direction of some of some good on-line tutorials I would be most appreciative.
However the real reason i'm posting is to ask if there is any way you can automate the importing of data from a text file. I basically need this text file loaded into an access database on a weekly basis, is this possible without user interaction? I fear not.
Cheers for any help
Pete

I accepted a month long job in putting together an Access database for a trucking company. I don't know how to make the incoming data know that it is related to its perspective field in other tables.Also, I am not understanding is how to link the tables. I have a main table with all the data. It is by date, and has all transactions, which Access assigned a number per transaction as the primary key. Then I have an Employee table (the truck drivers), a Customer table (the truck driver's company), an employee productivity table (includes wages, pay rate, Emp names, etc) and a truck table.
I tried linking the tables, but not sure if it is correct. I linked the Customer and Employee table via an EmpID foreign key in the Customer table. The employee productivity table is linked to the employee table via an EmpProd foreign key in the employee table. And the Customer table is linked to the truck table via a Cust foreign key in the Truck table. The table with all data is indexed to the Emp table, and under relationships the arrow points from the Emp table to the all data table, but there is no one to many (etc.) relationship because I did not know how to establish one. I tried reversing the arrow, but it wouldn't let me. I don’t even know the difference between an indexed link verses a relationship link.
The data itself is not linked. The Employees in the employee table does not know that it is the same field in the other tables. The all data table has EmpName daily info with only about 20 names, but about 4,000 fields. I listed the 20 names in the EmpName field of the tblEmp, but do not understand how to make both tables realize that it is the same field. It does not seem to realize that it is the same field because it does not rearrange the two field data with the correct data. I have this problem with all my tables.
So when I need to add the rest of the data, I don’t think the data knows where to go.
What am I doing wrong?
(I am using Access 2007 at work, and completed a class on 2010.)

Hi There,
I'm building a database for a friend's company.
My query is really to do with the best way to add new records to their database.
The database has four tables:
[Species] which is linked to multiple loci in the [Locus] table. For each Locus their are multiple alleles in the [Allele] table. Additionally, there is the [Reference] table, each reference can be linked to one or more loci in [Locus].
Users could add a new species, it's loci, the alleles for each locus and select the reference for each locus from a list (or add a new reference) using the Form used to view the data. However, this is very time-consuming when there are a large number of species to add but is easiest for me, as it requires little or no extra coding.
The other way I was thinking, would be to do a kind of batch update from an excel file. This would suit the users better as their data are already in this format.
The problem is that I guess I can't do a simple import spreadsheet due to the one-to-many relationships, as there would be no primary/foriegn keys in the excel sheet.
Would the best way around this be to add the first species, then for this species add the first locus and its alleles, then the next locus and so on.. then the next species? This way I could use the keys as they are generated..
Alternatively, I could get excel to generate the keys, and query the Access database to make sure it is not generating keys already in use. Then I can do a more simple import procedure...
I can do either using VB. Which do you think would be 'best'? Or should I just tell the users they'll have to enter stuff by hand the long way?!
Cheers
