Importing Data To Back End
Jul 25, 2005
Hi,
I have a DB that relies on text file imports as well as input and I recently split it. Unfortunately now my refresh script that updates the tables based on the text files imports them into the FE rather than the BE. I have messed around with workspaces but am struggling to get a solution. Ideally i'd like to be able to call DoCmd commands directly in another database but if anyone could give me the code to execute a function I can take it from there.
Thanks, Tom

How to secure SQL data when my MS Access database must access it using linked tables. Generally speaking on the Internet, assertions that migrating to SQL is more "secure" are rampant; explanations of just how that is are scarce.
Sure I can restrict access and put different roles on different tables, then put different people in those roles, but that doesn't really do me any good. Ultimately I want to achieve the following: Allow them to do all kinds of stuff (including Update, Delete, Insert) using my access application, but I would NOT want them to have those same rights if they installed SQL Server Management Studio, or for that matter, simply created an ODBC connection using another access or excel application.
In other words, ideally, I'd like to have SQL server view my Access application as a user in its own right. Not sure if that type of impersonation or identity is possible to achieve.

Hi ,
recently posted a thread about a union query. I have got over that hurdle now but face a new problem which is:
When I have created a right join to bring back data from a table, if there is no data it will leave the fields blank. Is there any way I could bring back the row data of the same table.??
Hope some one could suggest something.
Thanks again.

I understand that any data that is inputted into a form is always transferred back to the table in question.
In the form I created, I had
4 subheading scores added together to form another subheading named function =([1]+[2]+[3]+[4])/4 was the formula that I put into the control source. The calculation worked fine on the form giving me the correct name. However, this number did not transfer back to the table simple being labelled as zero. Can someone please advice!

Someone recently answered my query with regards to uploading data to an access table.
The first coloumn is an auto incremented number.
Will there be any problems with importing data - when one field is auto increment?
Obviously I wont be uploading values for this column - can that be done?

Hi,
Another question on this database I'm working on.
I have my database pretty much ready to go, but they would like to import data from another access database into this one.
The problem I'm seeing is, I've been working so hard to normalize my database with the proper relationships etc.
The database I'm importing from, the data there are all stored in huge tables.
so for example in my database I have our main table, that holds all like data. Then my other tables for specfic data that then relate to the main table ID.
The other database has everything in 1 table.
I've created a query and got what I needed from the other database, but not sure how to import it into my main table, and have it so the 'specific' data goes into the right table, and so the Main_ID field points to the correct record in my main table.
I don't think I explained that very well.
Here is how my structure is in the new database
tbl_main
Main_ID
Code_ID
Effective_Date
End_Date
Createdby_ID
tbl_CCE
Main_ID
Codeinfo
etc
etc
now the old database, everything is in 1 table and I'm not sure how to break it down so after I import the table CCE/Main_ID is the same as the Main_ID in my main table.
I'm still not sure if I explained that very well....

Hi
I'm trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into an empty table using the Import Wizard (File/Get External Data/Import). All's well until I'm presented with the window that tells me that I can "store" my data either in a new or existing table. However the radio button and Existing Table name field is grayed out. Any ideas gratefully received.

I'm hoping someone can help me with what (I think) may be a minor oversight by me.
I'm trying to import data from an Excel Spreadsheet into a table that I have already created for my job.
Both the table and the excel spreadsheet have a common factor which is an identification number. I would like to import the data into the existing table so that the additional values fall under the appropriate identification number.
I hope that makes sense - if not let me know and I'll try to explain further.
So my question is - is this possible? I searched the help files and some internet resources and couldn't find anything this very specific kind of importation.
If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it as you would save me tons of time.
Thanks in advance!

I have my sister using the db (in mde form).
When I make design changes to the mdb, I need to import (freshen) the data from her mde. (We're in different states) Obviously, when I do this, I get a duplicate table renamed.
If I do a query to freshen the data, will an update query just copy the changed/new data without the unchanged ?
Or is it best to just delete everything in the table and append the data from the mde table ?
Or is there a better way to do this that I'm not thinking about ?

Hi everione
I have to make a db that imports data from a textfile. I read the posts about automating the proces but I have two other problems. The text file is generated by a proces control software and has a .gbc extension ( I tried to solve this by importing to excel and then to acces) and the textfiles has a limited number of entries araound 300 so after al the records in the textfile are writen the records are overwriten. Is it posibel to make acce to read only the new records and adi it to a table witouth deleting the old records? the record has a date and time included.
Im a acces user for only two weeks so i would be greatful for any help.

I have a query that I made for about five fields, where the criteria is
Like "*" & [Forms]![DATA SEARCH]![Box] & "*"
Where box is the name of the field that I am searching for.
However, some of the fields in my form are left blank, which makes this refuse to give any results when I try to query it with a form. The other problem that I have is that the fields are bland in different parts of the 1,000 some-odd row table, which was imported from MS Excel.

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.

I have searched and not found exactly what I am looking for..so here is my question.
I have a large database that works fine, IF people would stop trying to play in it!! What I want to do is to restrict access to everyone except managers.
So, I copied the db for warehouse users to input their data (picker id, no. of minutes) that holds only one table and the form that opens automatically (they do not have access to anything but the form) for their input...Then, at the end of shift I want the managers to be able to click a button on Switchboard that copies all entries for day into the original db to run their reports. (These dbs are on a network)
So, how do I manage this? I want to use a macro and transfer database table, then run an append query to put the current records in original table...I can do that, but I dont know how to delete the records in users db. It needs to clear out all records in that db when it has been transferred... I want all control to be in managers hands. All the users can do is input their data.
I know you can help, so I will say thank you now.

I need to import 1600 people from excel.
as the program that we use to use was free and setup for what we needed. That has the ability to create a excel sheets with the 1600 people on.
Now all the fields are different, and i'm not sure how to do it.
When importing do you get the option to put the fields in the correct place, or do i need to edit them? and then import.
Another thing the address layout with fields will be completely wrong. I believe it used separate fields for each line of the address where in my DB i use 2 fields 1 address and 1 postcode.

Hi,
I am trying to import some data from excel to a new table in access. When i am running the import wizard in access i.e. File->Get External Data -> Import, as soon as i select the excel file (which has a sheetname of Sheet1), i am getting an error that i can not import since there is an invalid character 'Sheet1$'.
I tried renaming the sheetname to various other names, however, everytime i am getting the same error with the dollar sign being added at the end of the sheetname.
Any ideas what's going on please ?
Thank You in advance.

I am trying to import Excel data into an existing Access table. I keep my Excel spreadsheet in the same format as my Access table and when I import data that attaches at the end of my Acess table it works fine.
But I am now trying to import Excel data into the same existing table into rows that had cells left blank for entry later?
