I'm fairly new at access and have been stumped at this problem.
I download a csv file from the internet and what i wanted to do is just imported straight to a table from access. Some how the csv file contain some excel function that looks like the follwoing - i.e. =T("SOME TEXT"). Access can't import the file and i'm unsure of how i can do it. Does anyone have an idea of how i can do an import? Thank you.
Have an Access db created with Access 2003. Was not updated with Access 2007, and now need to work with it in Access 2010.
Saved the Access 2003 db, a *.mdb file as a *.accdb and imported the data from the *.mdb db.
The import failed and the error report and in the report the Issue Type Error and the Issue Type ID is ACCWeb107014. When I checked this error, the follow explanation was given. However, the tables have a PK.
ACCWeb107014Error text A Table should have a Primary Key and it should be a number with field size 'long' to be compatible with the Web.What it means The indicated table has one of the following problems:
The table does not have a primary key.The data type of the primary key is not Number.The primary key Field Size is not Long.
So I have had Access for all of one day now. I am trying to import an excel file into access as a table. I successfully imported the first file but the second file gives me an error that says "An error occurred trying to import file ____. The file was not imported." What are the possible reasons this error has occurred? Both excel files I am importing are in the same format, so I am confused as to why one worked but the other did not. Thanks for any help.
I am using below code to import various Excel spreadsheets into Access. However every now and again below code goes into error, usually because there is no "toimport" range in the Excel file.
So I would like to use On Resume Next, so it can import all other files. But in order to do it, I need also to be able to somehow capture information about all files that went into error, so I can fix them.
I would like to create like an "error log" and I would like Access to update it with information about all the files that were not uploaded + error message + date/time.
Ideally I would like it to be in Excel file. I tried to use DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet but it does not do what I need
Code: Function import() Dim strFile As String DoCmd.SetWarnings False ' Set file directory for files to be imported strPath = "C: est"
Up until recently (not exactly sure when) I've been absolutely fine importing text files into Access 97 with the import wizard, where the file extension is .log Now, every time I do it, I get Error 3027 unable to update as database/object is read only.
if I change the filename to .txt it works, but if I leave it as .log I get that error.
I am importing csv files into tables in a batch routine and I get the following error messages. The error number is always 2391.
Field 'F1' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table Field 'F4' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table Field 'F36' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
I understand the first one and can find references to this on the web but the F4 and F36 escape me.
All fields required do actually exist in the table so the real problem is elsewhere.
P.S. I now think that it may be that there are embedded commas in one or more of the text fields and that the number following the 'F' indicates the position of the field in the table. I will check in the morning or create the csv files using commas and quotes.
Trying to import data from Excel into an existing table in Access 2007. The import fails and keeps getting the error message: "subscript out of range". All of the column headings in the 1st row are exactly the same as the table in Access, and the data types are all text except for the key which is a number. I've imported to this table many times and not had a problem and can't figure this out.
I am trying to create a txt file to import into our accounting software. I get the file (its blank), but it fails on the WriteLine and i get the run time error. I have a command button on a form that the user will click to export the file.
Private Sub cmdExport_Click() Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset Dim strPath As String Dim strPathGB As String
I am getting "Truncation Error" while importing data from Excel to access 2007. I have tried changing the format to short text but the result is the same.
Im new to asp and access and have been having this problem for serveral weeks.
Every couple of days, all the asp pages on my site that communicate with the database start having 500 internal errors. i turned off the "Show friendly error messages" and one page gave me this specific error:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Unspecified error
/admin/submitlogin.asp, line 8
I have tried a million things and have no idea why this is happening. Im not sure what other information i should post in order to see the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
A common tip on this forum to reduce a db FE is to create a new db and import in from the original. Easy. Now I have done this and on navigating through the new db have no trouble when new. I then put in the start up form and close it. On start up again I get the following message. "Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost". When trying to view any VBA coding the same message appears. All tips or directions to other treads welcome.
I imported a database designed several years ago into Access 2003, but all that I got was the tables. Is there a way to get the reports, queries, forms, etc? Thank for all the help.
I have an xml from the powers that be in IT: can post it here if anyone wants, but it's quite big. Tried to import it into Access 2003, no joy. Than I realised that it it's almost certainly attribute-centric.

And so I need to create a template to make it look normal. although they give an example on the microsoft page, it's bespoke to the xml they create from Northwind and i'm struggling to write a template from scratch.
The xml appears to have tables embedded and all sorts, it's not just a flat file structure....
Hi, I want to automatically import an .xml file into a table that i have in my .mdb. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it? If you could point me in the right direction that would also be great.
I am trying to import into a table a very large text file that has information dumped into it every morning from a daily import.
I am building a database that is also using the same information but on a stand alone database and was curious to know if there is a way to link the txt file to a table so every morning that the new info is imported it will just automatically dump into the table.
I have filling this is not since it is a txt file and I will need to just setup a custom menu button that when pressed does the import into the table, but I was hoping it would be as simple as a link.
When importing excel spreadsheets to access, I am getting the message subscript it out of range. What do I need to do in order for the spreadsheet to be imported?
My boss and I were trying to import some data from a .txt file there is a deliberate mistake and we were trying to get a input mask/validation rule to stop that particular record
I'm having trouble with a DB that I've been using for four years in a multi-user environment. (Windows XP; Access 2000; Novell Network) Started with one user as she got a new WinXP PC (had Win2K - not totally convinced that she didn't have the problem before the new PC); she wasn't able to do a keyword search - it would bring up every record, but other users were fine. Then, it started to do it on my PC as well (WinXP - even though I had my XP for a year longer), but other users are still fine. My code still looks fine, and apparently works for others. So, thinking there may be some corruption going on, I decided to create a new DB and import in tables, queries, forms, reports, and modules. Only three of 20 forms show up as options to import and only a portion of the reports show up. All the tables and queries appear. When I go back to the "faulty" database, the forms are there and do work from my "menu form". Then, I tried compacting the "faulty" database, but I don't get the message in the lower left saying it is compacting; the hourglass comes up, then the DB opens - the size stays the same. So, I don't think it is compacting.
Any ideas ????
Thanks - and I do appreciate this forum - has saved me alot of time over the years.
I have a linked csv table into access, and have a make table query which runs off this. When i first build and run the query it runs fine, but when i run it again I get the following problem "numeric field overflow" I have checked all the data types, they match fine.....
The thing that i cannot understand is when I rebuild the query from scratch, it works fine for the first couple of times, then stops.
Hi! I've got a problem with a csv file from our MRP system. It always contains spaces BEFORE the data in the fields and I need to ignore them when I group the data. The crosstab report works absolutely fine but I don't get the right output because of those darned spaces!!:mad:
I'm using a combo box control for searching employees. Which the empID is the unique key, the form is scrolling each record, do not want it to do that. When i click on an ID, it only changes ID's but not the information thats tied to that ID. How can I fix that? any valuable information is well appreciated. Thank you
