Documenting Import/Exort Specs
Jul 11, 2007Lately I've been doing a lot of importing and exporting of data to text files using stored specs. To see what fields and sizes a spec contatins I have been going to the File menu of Tables, click on Get External Data/Import. When the Open menu comes up, I click on any random text file. Then when the Import dialog starts I can get to the spec by clicking the Advanced button. I can then copy it to spreadsheet for documentation. Is there an easier or automated way to document Import/Export specs in ACCESS 2003?

Oct 23, 2014I am trying to complete a macro that starts with importing of a text file. However, when I go to complete the steps in the macro, I do not see the specs for the import file that i created. There is a dropdown with a few specs for me to choose from in the box titled "Specification Name" when I am completing the action titled ImportExport Text. However, none of those specs are the right ones.
When I go to "Saved Imports" I can plainly see the import that I am interested in. So is a Saved Import different than a spec? If so, what steps do I need to do to create the spec?
General :: Export Table / Query - Two Lines Per Record With Different Specs?
Nov 11, 2014I have two tables that need to be exported on one .txt file.
One table has the header record. And the 2nd table has the detail record.
My issue is as follows:
1. Need to create one .txt file
2. The header record has one set of export specs and the detail record has a different set of export specs.
3. The first line is the header record, and 2nd line is the detail record.
Example below:
H Abraham Armenta January Cake 00123
D Father Saturday 02536 00123
Both tables have a common control number - in this case represented by the 00123. I just cannot figure out how to accomplish this..

Export / Import To And From Excel
May 5, 2005hi,
I'm having a small but annoying problem exporting data to excel and then importing it back..
The problem is that when i export a table to Excel - it changes the date format from dd/mm/yy (which is what i have in Access) to DD-MMM-YY (automatically in Excel)
This proves to be a problem because when i import the spreadsheet back Access gives me a data type conversion error.
Its easily solved manually by changing the field in excel to dd/mm/yy format but annoying as the user will have to do this everytime they export and import!
Any suggestions??
Thanks in Advance..

Automating Import And Export
Feb 11, 2013I would like to automate this daily process: In this order import or link, (not sure which is the best option) a fixed width table, add an ascending number to the end of each of the records, reverse the order, and finally export to fixed width .txt documents depending on the quantities in one field. There would be 3 text files exported, max.

Newbie Import/Export Problems Please Help!!!!
Feb 21, 2008I created a DB to track soldier information. Each month reports are due to Brigade. Each Company and Battalion has there own version of the DB. What I need to do is export data from the Company then import it to the Battalion. Then I need to export the info from the Battalion and import them into the Brigade. This information is either all new for a new soldier or updated info for an existing record for an existing soldier. I need to update all new changes to the info. What is the best method for doing this.
Also, when I try to export a .dbf, it pops up with an error saying there are duplicate field names. Im confused because ieach field name is unique.
Thanks for any help I can get.

Import/export Specification Editing?
Dec 16, 2004Ok,
I'm new to a particular access database that is having problems.
Basically, it is using transfertext to transfer a database to another file, at least as far as I know.
Unfortunately, it's hanging, and as best as I can guess, its because something in the export specification file is not quite right.
Can anyone offer me an explanation of how to edit an import or export specification file? The MS help seems to indicate that it stored in the database, but I haven't been able to locate the file that is specified in the vba code. Nor did I see it elsewhere in the folder where the database is stored.
Any help is appreciated.

Access And Outlook Integration Without Import/export
Oct 18, 2005Hi all,
I have an access Db that I use to manage contacts etc. I regularily send out newsletters and emails to the contacts in that Db.
I want to know if there is a way I can essentially track the emails from access in outlook.
eg. based on field "email" it can see the emails incoming and outgoing in Outlook and makes a new record in my table "communications" that also tracks phone calls and other comm's.
Tbls - Contacts, Communications, Company
It would be great if all email communications could just automatically be listed in the access table communications with a link to the email in outlook (not the actual email, only the subject line and a hyperlink to the email)
I have been scouring the web for something to do this and have found lots of kinda's or not quite's. I don't want to import my outlook email to a table if possible.
I run Outlook and Access 2003 (Office 2003) on XP SP2 box.
Thanks Heaps if you have any idea what I am after!

Modules & VBA :: Export And Import Particular Cells From Excel Template
Jul 20, 2015I have a few problems and I want them to be able to be done from switchboard:
1. Is there a way for me to export a particular report (after selecting it) to a closed excel template, that is formatted? It would open the excel template (that has a logo and column headings), export data to below the column headings, then save the file with a unique name?
2. Also, a way to import data from an excel file, after allowing the user to select file? Only data below the column headings mentioned above. Same data will be appended to existing table.
Cannot Export, Import, Copy/paste, Rename Table With Data!
Feb 22, 2006Hello 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.
Modules & VBA :: Password Parameter For Import / Export Data Macro
Jul 16, 2014I am creating a ImportExportData macro that will link to my tables in the BE
However the BE has a password. I was told this would require coding.
I have even tried to 'convert macro to VB' and i get this:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "Microsoft Access", "c: est.accdb", acTable, "Table1", "Table1", False
I then tried to enter the password in the last segment (StoreLogin) ie:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acLink, "Microsoft Access", "c: est.accdb", acTable, "Table1", "Table1", False, "PASSWORD"
but that didn't work either, i got a "An expresiions you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"...

View 4 Replies View RelatedRegularly Import / Export Different Records To Multiple Excel Worksheets
Mar 16, 2014I'm building a data base for my company, which is composed of items we sell. I then need these records to populate our pricebooks, which are excel worksheets, under multiple workbooks.
So essentially, I would like to have all the fields separated by vendor, series and series items, then populate the proper Excel worksheet (within a supplier's workbook). I have the know how to build a query to narrow down a particular vendor/series/groupofitems, but I don't want to be creating an enormous list of queries which have to be run each time.
I also have the know how to create a joined table which pulls the item list into the proper group, creating one large table with every vendor, series, and items. But what I'm looking for is some type of hybrid, which will allow me to export all of the items to their corresponding worksheets in one fell swoop. This will be done regularly as prices from suppliers change, certain colors are discontinued, sizes added, etc.
I'm guessing when I use the query which creates the large table with all the product that it's indexed, and that I would be able to use this to then import the data into excel/export the data to excel. But I'm not sure about this.
Specs...
Jul 21, 2006Hello.
Does anyone happen to know if the Specs... created in one database, can be copied over to another? I set up a particular database with file import specs for hundreds of fields, but I've outgrown the database file size and I need to create a new database with the same specs.
Thanks for any help!

General :: Cannot Use ODBC To Import From / Export To / Or Link To External Microsoft Access
Mar 16, 2014I am trying to create an ODBC link to a copy of the Northwind data base.I am running Win7 on a 64 bit operating system but am keeping office running as 32 bit for Access, Excel , Visio etc due to the fact that I have a lot of old apps tied to them.
When I attempted initially to create a new system DSN ODBC connection it only allowed me to use SQL drivers. (No plurry good) So after some searching I found out that I could use a file in C:WindowsSysWOW64 called "odbcad32.exe" which has allowed me to view /use the total list of drivers to import data.So I can set up a DNS ODBC named Northwind1 and I can access the database without problems using Excel.However if I try to use the same ODBC link in Access to connect to Northwind1 I get the following error message:"You cannot use ODBC to import from export to, or link an external ?Microsoft Access or ISAM database table to your database".

Modules & VBA :: Import Csv Files And Rename Them After Import Into (imported) And (failed)
Jul 17, 2015I have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).
The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "Activitate", filename, True
gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.
Here's the code:
Sub ImportActivitate()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename's
Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files
Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
[code]....
Also, how can I make the routine stop cycling through the files after I renamed them all?
General :: Large Table Import / Way To Import Tables To Access
Sep 17, 2013I want to make a database of diseases (need to learn them for school and would like a serchable database on my smart phone for future reference).
Unfortunately spent a lot of time making hundreds of pages of word tables before i realized a database would be better. See attached image or pdf. Is there a way to import the tables to Access?
I need to preserve the hierarchic info in the nested bullet point lists. E.g. under treatment i might have a point called Acute treatment, with sub-levels, Step 1, Step 2, etc. with their own sub-levels. I need to maintain this relational hierarchic info.
Db Importing
May 12, 2005A 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.
Thanks

View 2 Replies View RelatedImporting Xml
Feb 14, 2008I 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.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285329
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....
can that be reversed out with a template?
