Importing Data Into Linked Tables?

Aug 11, 2005

I'm trying to perform a massive data dump. I have about 1,000 records that need to be added into my database. This is coming off an Excel spreadsheet.

I don't know if this is possible:
I have a table, tblTorders, which is linked to the table, tblItems.
When I open the tblTorders, I can click on the plus sign to expand and see the related data in tblItems.

How can I import data to populate the fields in both of these tables? I can't use the import function because you can only select to import it into one table.

Do I do it through a query.... I'm not sure where to go on this one.

Thanks so much

Importing Of Data From Excel/Access To Two Tables Linked By A Querry

Jun 28, 2006

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am having the problem of importing a database from Excel/Msaccess 2000 to a Msaccess 2000 database from which the data was originally exported. The Database consists of two tables connected in a querry and the two tables has a unique primary key thru which the two tables are linked using a querry. While importing only two tables are listed in the importing wizard and not the querry.

So how to import the data to the two tables connected by a querry using a primary unique key.

help me the procedure.

thanks in advance

Importing Linked Tables

Apr 12, 2006

Hi guys

I've been given a project at work, part of which involves importing parts of a very complex SQL database in to an Access 2002 database. This is very much on the edge of my understanding of databases, so please bear with me!

All of the records I need to import are in one table, but some of the fields are linked to other tables in the SQL server. My question is, if I import the table in to Access using Get External Data/Import, will the information from the linked tables also be imported, or will I also have to import the linked tables and re-establish the link between the tables in Access?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Linked Data Vs Importing

Apr 25, 2006

hey all,

here is a general question:

i am creating a database that relies on data in 3 different excel spreadsheets being updated by 3 different users. that is, each person is responsible for updating the Dates for their spreadsheet.

my database needs to pull these dates to extract the most current info every time i run my query.

my question is, is linking to these excel spreadsheet a valid method in completing this task. other that that, i guess i would need to import the data form excel every time each one of the 3 users updates thier stuff.....which sounds horrible.

any thought/suggestions would be great.
T

Tables :: Two Identical Database - Importing Tables By Linking To Data Source

Dec 3, 2012

I have 2 identical database in terms of structure but it differs in data.

Basically I would like to import data from subDatabase to mainDatabase and ensuring that there are no duplicate records.

I have used the "link to datasource method" through importing the tables to have the "updating" function.

However, this method also means that the records in mainDatabase are also imported over to subDatabase which I do not want.

Is there a method to ensure that the records are shared/update one way only? (i.e. import from subDatabase to mainDatabase and not main to sub?)

Importing Data From Two Tables

Mar 31, 2005

Hello everyone,

How can I transfer or import data (NOT TABLES) from two related tables. The two tables have parent-child relationship and have multi fields. I tried to use the import command but it imports tables rather than data. but I want to move data not the whole table. I can use copy and paste command but I couldn't copy both main data and sub data at the same time. I could be able to copy the main data all at once and paste them but they don't take the sub records along with them unless I copy them record by record and pate them to the corresponding file, which is very time consuming for a very big data.

Is it possible to create a command that imports data from two tables at the same time? Note that these tables I am trying import data from have the same format but different field names.

These data are collected using the same application but by different users at different locations and I want to transfer them to our main data base. If any of you can help me with this I really appreciate. Thanks.

Tables :: Data In Linked Back End Tables Not Saved From Front End

Jun 19, 2015

I have split database (B/E is in the SharePoint library, F/E has users on a local PCs). Sometimes, when I update/add data (does not matter if it is via form or directly in the table) it looks OK, but when I re-open the database, the data are gone.

Problem is that I cannot catch the moment when data were not saved (sometimes data are saved, sometimes not). I can point out this: if I re-enter the missing data, primary key continues subsequently, it looks like the data have never been entered. I tried to use script

Code:
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False

on "On Close" form event, does not work.

B/E is linked by VBA code and it looks OK (no error, Link Manager shows correct path). I suspect interrupted connetion to the SharePoint but I don't know how to check it. I implemented VBA script co keep open connection to the SP but the issue persists.

Tables :: Importing More Than 255 Columns Of Data

Sep 14, 2013

I have a project concerning lists of external files. The spread sheet holds the source data on a document per line basis. Each row contains vital data ClientID, ClientName, DocDate, DocDescription, MainPage, Page1, Page2, Page3.... up to Page 585

I have done previous work where importing up to 50 columns has never been an issue.

For some reason in this case I am unable to import more than up to 255 columns and also I lost all the reference data past column 30.

I have tried importing directly to a SQL Server Db - same issue

Access 2010 and this in 2013

Importing Or Appending Data To Normalized Tables

Jul 16, 2005

I'm fairly new to Access, but have set up a database containing 8 normalized tables. I would like to know if it's possible to update all those tables by importing an Excel file into each table, or importing the Excel file into one Access table and then appending that table to those 8 tables. AND STILL MAINTAIN THE RELATIONSHIPS. The Help directory only talks about importing or appending into one table.

Tables :: Importing Spreadsheet - How To Convert Data To PK / FK

Mar 14, 2013

I have a spreadsheet of generators with associated data: Make, Model, etc.

When I build the tables for the Make, each make will have it's own PK. Is there a good way to update the spreadsheet, replacing the Make for the PK other than using the find and replace function in excel (or update query in Access).

Example:

tblGeneratorMake
GeneratorID (PK)
GeneratorMake

John Deere has PK of 1
Kohler has PK of 2

If my spreadsheet has a list of Kohler generators, I need to change "Kohler" to "2".

Tables :: Importing / Extracting Data From PDF Files

Nov 25, 2014

I am building a database for a coworker. For one table, he'd like to extract data from different companies' financial reports, specifically a Schedule RC-B (schedule of securities). The format it comes in is PDF, but there are options to download XBRL, SDF and Taxonomy. My computer doesn't recognize any of these other formats. Plus, I'm guessing each company will have a slightly different format, so I don't know if there'd be an efficient way to set up an automatic import. Any way for importing/extracting data from these files?

Importing Data From A Spreadsheet To Existing Multiple Tables

May 30, 2006

First off, its been a long time since I have been here (since sometime in 2003 LOL), partly because I didn't have to create a new db in a while. Now, I have been handed a project and come across something new.

OK, here is what I want to do. I would like to be able to dump data from an Excel file into existing Access tables (two to be more specific). Now, I also have relating tables that add data into certain fields. I tried using a query to try to group data ad hopeful able to dump data through the query. I noticed that I couldn't import data through a query. Just for kicks, I tried to pull data through table and noticed that I can only create a new table, not able to update and existing table.

How would I go about performing this task? I have never attempted anything in the past.

Thank you in advance for your considered help,

Steve

Tables :: Importing Excel Data - Maintaining Column Order

Mar 4, 2013

I've been using MS Access 2007 for years to manage some Excel data. running some queries etc. Just recently I've been encountering problems when importing data into an existing table. When I do it now, I get a "Subscript out of Range" error. To troubleshoot, I imported into a new table and when doing so, the fields no longer match the column order of the spreadsheet. They all get imported but appears in a different order. I think this is why I am getting the error message. How can I go about ensuring that the data gets imported properly into my already existing table? My fields in "Design View" will match the order of the Columns in the Excel spreadsheet.

Tables :: Random Missing Data After Importing From Excel To Access

Mar 8, 2014

I've got an Excel sheet with +700k rows and 20 columns that I wanted to import to Access. All fields are text except the field that I want to use as a primary key, but I planned to import that as a text as well.

When I used the import wizard, I set all fields to import as text except for three that I set to memo. The wizard didn't say there was any error after importing the data, but when I checked the table, I noticed there were *a lot* of records where many fields where blank. Some fields where completely unaffected by this problem throughout the entire table, but in the rest of them, there is data missing in many records, and when there is data missing, it is not always the same fields that are missing. I have been unable to find any pattern that explains why sometimes the records were imported correctly, and why sometimes they were not.

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 ?

ID Fields: Data Type Differs In Linked Tables

Apr 6, 2006

I have a database consisting of three linked tables, with ID as unique identifier (primary key).

I would have expected the data type for my unique identifier, especially in the main table, to be Autonumber. However, I discovered with some surprise that the primary key (ID) in

Table 1 (Main table) is data type: number, field size: double

whereas in table 2 and table 3 the ID is data type: autonumber (field size: long integer)

It must have happend "SOMEHOW" when I divided the original single table.

Is this as it should be? Or could it lead to trouble later on?

If not as should be, is there anything I can do right now to rectify the situation with risking upsetting the relationships and all?

What precautions should I take, apart from taking a backup?

Thanks for your help.

Linked Tables Not Pulling Back Field Data Correctly

Jun 13, 2012

I'm a bit new to Access but have managed to build a very simple database.

I have a main table which I need to add 4 columns onto the end of, the data for which comes from 4 tables linked to it. Below is how they are linked.

Main table------> Table 1
Main table------> Table 2
Main table------> Table 3
Main table------> Table 4

All 4 relationships have a join type of 2 (Include ALL records from 'Main table' and only those records from 'Table1/2/3/4' where the joined fields are equal)

However, 3 of them pull back the correct data when I refresh the Main table, but the 4th one doesn't - which appears to be to be set up in the exact same way. It does bring back data, but it's the wrong data or in the wrong order.

For example, if the related field in the Main table is "Sarah" - It needs to bring back "Programme", but some Sarah's pull through Programme, some are blank and some are another option altogether. Table 4 has no duplicates or typos etc and I've tried deleting it, loading it in again and creating a new relationship but nothing seems to work.

How To Create A Form That Can Update Data Linked To Multiple Tables

Jul 30, 2012

I'm using Access and Excel 2007.... I know how to import an Excel spreadsheet as a table.

I have several supplier price lists in Excel. I want to keep my vendor price lists up to date.

When one of my vendors tell me that a price has changed on a particular item, I figure that I could have a form that I could use to enter the changes.

I believe the form would look like:

Field: "Vendor" (drop down list to choose from. Name of the Supplier price lists) Required.
Field: "OEM" (Key Field found in each table) Required.
Field: "Brand" (Field found in each table) Not required.
Field: "Price" (Field found in each table) Required.

OEM would be the unique key field.

If I enter the Vendor name and then the OEM number it would show if there is already that number in the Vendor price list and I could make changes. Or I could enter new data in that vendor price list.

Relinking Multiple Linked Tables That Are Linked To Different Databases

Feb 2, 2012

I have a database with a number of linked tables that are linked to tables in different databases (not a back-end).for example, I have table1 that is linked to table1 in K:databasedb1.mdb.table2 linked to table2 in S:datadata.mdb.and so on...

However, recently we have moved all our databases to a new location.

K:databasedb1.mdb is now residing in O:masterdatabase
and S:datadata.mdb is now residing in O:masterdata
and so on...

I'm now in charge of relinking all those tables to point to the new location.I would do this in linked table manager one by one but we have 100s of tables linked to multiple different databases in different location.is there a way to create a VBA code that will automatically do this re-linking process?

so,
1. find unlinkable tables
2. search its new location under O:master
3. re-link it to the new location

Database names and tables names have not been changed. Just the location of databases.
