Importing Multiple Text Files

Aug 1, 2006

I am trying to import several txt from a directory.

The following code is on a button in a form:

Private Sub ImportData_Click()

Dim myfile
Dim mypath

mypath = "G:FinanceAccountingRoyalty2006exports3rd QTR 06JUL 06 est"
Do
myfile = Dir(mypath & "*.txt")
DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "import_data", "tbl_import_tables", mypath & myfile, False, ""
myfile = Dir
Loop Until myfile = ""

End Sub

The problem is this causes a infinite loop

Can anyone help?? Thanks

PS This code was from previous posting, where the transfer was excel files.

Importing Text Files

May 1, 2006

Hi!
I'm trying to import csv files into an Access 97 database, but the filename is different each time otherwise I would just use a commandbutton with the transfertext macro.

I've been searching for help to browse to a file and keep coming back to the same few pages but not being a programmer I can't figure out how to use the code.

Can anyone help me with simple instructions on how to do this?
Thanks.

Importing Text Files

Feb 7, 2008

All,
I have a database that I import text files to create tables. I ve been doing this awhile but now I have to pass it on to someone else to do and are trying to find a better way. this is what I've been doing: I import the text file into a new table. Then I copy and paste the data to the corresponding table. I know I can do an append query to do this but its about 12 text files I have to import into 12 different tables and I didn't want to take the time. I then run a query to combine and sum data from two different tables. The problem is that I have to copy and paste because if I import the text files directly into the corresponding table, the query don't run. I've tried change the field data type in the import wizard but it still doesn't work. My table datatype fields are: field1-text field2-number and field3-number. There is not field for number in the wizard but I use double as a field size in the design table so I select this in the wizard. I don't know how to resolve this other than spending time to create an append query or cut and paste. Please help
Thanks

Importing Fixed With Text Files

Jun 7, 2005

Dear All,

I need some help. I am writing a database for my new and small company. I receive internet orders from my ISP in an email. I want to find a simple way of automatically importing these emails into my "Customer Information" table.

The issue is that I have no control on the format of the email I receive from my ISP. The data is fixed width and stores the information horizontally rather than in columns. For example:

Quantity : 1
Price : GBP 199.00
Delivery : GBP 5.00
Total : GBP 204.00

I have been exploring the GetData option and using the advance settings to align fields. It seems (and I am not an expert user of Access) that the GetData function relies on the import source to be aligned in vertical columns rather than horizontally. This makes mapping the fields almost impossible.

Does anyone have a clever work-around? Either in Access or manipulating the data before it goes into the database?

Many thanks, Matthew (matthew@byatt.com)

Importing SAP Text Files And Join Help

May 27, 2005

I imported a table into Access from a SAP generated text file. The integrity of the data is fine after import. I then created a new table from the original that has the exact same amount of records and has the same unique field, which is MATERIAL. The problem I have is when I join the two tables in a query, Access returns approx 140,000 records. I am doing a regular join, what could be the problem? Is it possible the table data types are not formated correctly, b.c I imported them all as text so Access would import all lines.

I look forward to anyone's response.

TIA

Ease

Modules & VBA :: Import Multiple Fix Width Text Files - Eliminate Multiple Headers And Footers

Aug 1, 2013

I am trying to build a newer database 2010, based on an older one,2000, that has been locked tight and I cannot see the modules to kinda get a reference of where to start. I am trying to find a VBA code that will allow me to import a several text files to one table. The text files are all in the same format but I cannot remove the page headers and footers to get the table to look right. I have attached an example of the text file i am trying to import but it is a stripped down version for information protection.

Also, it appears in the old Database Table once imported as:

J.Smith 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date
J.Smith 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date
J.Smith 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date
J.Adam 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date
J.Adam 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date
J.Adam 1234 01 ABCD ABCD HGJV 2345 ABCDE ABC6 Qual Date Date

If I could import the text files and end up with a table like this, it would be all i need as i could run all the queries i need from this.

Import Multiple Text Files Into Single Table

Dec 18, 2004

Hello everyone!

Here is my problem:
I have an Access database that contains a table with three columns (A & B & C). Field A is for code values and field B is for the value for that particular code. Field C holds the case number. I have a folder that contains the information for over 5000 case numbers. Each case number needs to be placed inside of the table. Considering there are 5000 case numbers, I dont want to use the import wizard 5000 times.

Furthermore, the text file only has two columns (for A and B).

I am trying to create a VBA that will append rows to the table by going into each file and placing the information into the table. The first row for each file contains the case number. So when the VBA runs, it should open the text file get the case number from the first row (field B on the text file) and place that in the case number field of the table for the entire file; and then repeat this action for all of the files in the entire folder.

Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Help With Importing Files

Feb 24, 2008

Hello,

I have a excel file which is a combination of to files (a .csv and txt) which I need to manipulate using access to get certain output. I created 2 tables for the 2 files in Access and then combined the 2 files by joining them on some common attributes.

Sample records from the excel file:
There are two fields..samaccountname and groupmembership which I need to display in a single line..

Accountname GroupMembership
trs 92 CN=US-HTSU Disable Mass Storage
Devices-S-D,OU=Call Centers,OU=Desktop
Access Groups,OU=US HTSU,OU=US
Groups,OU=US,DC=HNAH,DC=ADROOT,DC=HSBC

Wherever there is group membership, I want
that comma separate and parsed for a user in one line

'CN=US-HTSU Disable Mass Storage Devices-S-D,OU=Call Centers,OU=Desktop
Access Groups,OU=US HTSU,OU=US Groups,OU=US,DC=HNAH,DC=ADROOT,DC=HSBC
'CN=HNAH Generic Accounts-S-G,OU=Department Groups,OU=US HTSU,OU=US
Groups,OU=US,DC=HNAH,DC=ADROOT,DC=HSBC

I just need the following:

Tsr012,"US-HTSU Disable Mass Storage Devices-S-D,HNAH Generic Accounts-S-G"

Is there a command or way to do this in Access or even SQL Server?

Any help would be much appreciated..

Thanks!

Importing CSV Files Into Web-app DB

Mar 17, 2015

I'm pretty new to Access and am trying to create an Asset database for our IT department. I'm trying to import a csv file that has all of our Android tablet information in it. One of the fields on this csv is "Office location" to let us know what office its currently at.I have a table already created for all of our offices called Offices.

All I'm trying to do is import the Android Tablet csv to create a new table called Tablets and have the "Office location" field from the csv link to the Office tables list of offices. I can import the csv file fine and have it create a new table called Tablets. The "Office location" field is just set to short text and isn't actually linked with the list of offices from the Office table.I tried linking them by changing the Office location field to lookup and pointing it to the Office tables field that has all of our offices locations, but receive an error. I'm guessing this isn't how I'd get this to link to the list of offices. I'm trying to have the Office locations field link to the list of locations automatically so that I don't have to create a new field and then make it a lookup field and manually change it for every Tablet that I have in the Tablets table.

Importing Mdb Files Problem

Sep 30, 2004

Hello All
I have been trying to figure this problem out for a while now and was unable to get anywhere. What I am trying to do is I am trying to do a mass import of mulitple mdb files into just one mdb file. What I have right now is the following:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim InputDir, ImportFile As String, tblName As String
Dim InputMsg As String
InputMsg = "Type the pathname of the folder that contains "
InputMsg = InputMsg & "the files you want to import."
InputDir = InputBox(InputMsg)
ImportFile = Dir(InputDir & "*.dbf")
Do While Len(ImportFile) > 0
tblName = Left(ImportFile, (InStr(1, ImportFile, ".") - 1))
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "dBase III", InputDir, _
acTable, ImportFile, tblName
ImportFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub

What this does is that is when the user clicks on the button it asks the user for the file path name and uploads all the dbf files in that location. This works great for dbf files but when I change the code so that ImportFile = Dir(InputDir & "*.mdb") and DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft access", InputDir, _acTable, ImportFile, tblName so as to be able to do it for mdb files I get Run-time error '3051': The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file ams.mdb. It is already opened exclusively by another user or you need permission to view its data. I tried changin the access on the file and made sure that it was not read only but got the same result.. Can anyone please help me I would appreciate the help. Thanks

Importing CSV And XLS Files To Access

Feb 16, 2012

I'm importing .csv and .xls files into access using docmd.transferspreadsheet and it's simple enough except for a couple of issues I'm having:

1. The .csv file has leading ' and if I converti it .txt if has leading " in some of the columns .....what's the best way to get rid of these and is it better before or after the importing process.

2. a .xls file has a few rows of totals at the top so I need the importing to start at row A7 instead of A1...is there a way to control where it starts rather than manipulating the file prior to importing because it's all going to done by clicking a button on a form by user.

And there's a 3. one of the .xls has additional blank rows that it seems to import into the access table....what's th solution for that.

All the files will vary in number of records on a daily basis so I can't specify range like the DoCmd.
