Hi, I have an xml which fields of text and some of numbers.
When I do: File --> Get External Data --> Import; I'm able to import the file.
The problem is that not all the data is entered in the fields. The colums containing the text are excluded.
While importing, I did choose the option "Structure and Data", so it should work.
Any suggestions on to why it is doing that?
Thanks.
I have a dbf file that I need to somehow get the table data out of, and into access, excel, or some other usable format. I searches the MS Knowledge Base and read several articles on updating the Jet 4.0 drivers (up to date) and updating Foxpro ODBC drivers, etc. I also searched these forums, and I have yet to find any solution that works.
I think this dbf file might be Foxpro, but I'm not sure. I don't know anything about Foxpro. I was getting an error message "unexpected error from external database driver (8961)", until I read an MS article stating that I should change the name of the Borland folder to BorlandOld and try re-importing. Now Access 2003 just says: "external table not in the specified format".
I want to import a fixed length file into access 2003, it can only be imported directly into access 97/2000. This site, link http://www.ams.usda.gov/science/pdp/03data.txt
has the idea, but the problem is I can find the "2003 Data zip file" which this
site is refering to. - I have looked for it on the ms office 2003 cd,but I still
can find it.
Please can someone tell me where I can find de "2003 Data zip file"?
Hi!
I was importing the large array of accounting data into Access from Excel through File - Get External Data - Import. Several columns contained tangible accounting data (e.g. registration numbers) that had different formats like "23423 34", "32-3545" and in some cases even contained letter constants. Therefore, I have assigned TEXT type to this column while importing and was sure that all values are going to be stored as text. However, what has happened is: 18307769 turned into 1.83078e+007! this means tangible accounting data that was used as a key field for further linking turned into bull&&$%! :-(
I know this problem is very simple, so please, can you give me a hint as to how do I solve it in the future.
Thank you in advance.

When I import a form with the Navigation control on it The following attributes of the navigation buttons are changed to #FFFFFF:
Hover Color, Pressed Color, Hover Fore Color, Pressed Fore Color
I was hoping to be able to automate the updating of customers databases by sending them a database which would export the required objects rather than the whole front end database. I can think a way around this by including code in the form so that it changes the attributes to the desired values, which are:
Accent 1, Accent 1, Background 1 and Background 1. But I would rather not have to do that.
It is interesting to note that the Border Color attribute is not changed on importing.
I am wondering if someone could save the attached access 2003 file as an access 2000 file so I will be able to open it. Thank You

All..
I have an access 2003 application I have front end and back end separately. When I click "Make MDE File" from tools menu, nothing happens.
When checked the Windows Task manager(Windows 2000), CPU usage is 100% and MS ACCESS is not responding. There are no messages.
Anyone experienced this problem ?
Thanks

I created a Workgroup file (Project.mdw), assigned different Permissions to different Groups, and put different Users in appropriate Groups.
The above setup is working fine and just as required. But, if I remove or rename the Workgroup file, MS Access does not look for it, creates in its own Workgroup file and starts just as usual - without asking for the Password, or caring about the Permissions and/or restrictions set.
How can I make the database file bound to the MDW file, so that it does not open without it.

Hello,
I have created several files in Access 2003, and sent them to a collegue, but he is using Access 2002 and cannot open my files.
What do I need to do so he can access my files? My experience with Access is very limited.
Thank you in advance for your help.

hello good afternoon.
i am trying to open different file types using ms access. the following piece of code i found would only open 'word' documents. how do i make this piece of code more flexible to open pdf documents and excel as well. as it is currently i have a txt field on my form and if the path in the txt fiels leads to a word document when i click a button the word file opens. i want it to open a pdf or excel doc if it was in the txt field
[code]
Sub OpenWordDoc(strDocName As String)
Dim objApp As Object
'Opens the document
Set objApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objApp.Visible = True

Hi,
I have a text file with comma separated values. What I want is a single access query to import this text file into an access table. I know this can be done through import text wizard in access - but what I need is a single query.
I have done the same thing for transferring oracle data to an access table - but for text file to access, I am getting -7778 error.
This is the query I have written
SELECT * into MY_ACCESS_TBL from [odbc;Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};Dbq=MY_TEXT_FILE_PATH;].[MY_TEXT_FILE.txt];
Please help!!

I'm having difficulty getting my import to work... when i call on the original XML file I get too many tables... when i call on the XML file using the transform function of Access with the XSL file it gives me only two tables "body" and "tr". Body contains the value "Weather" and tr contains the value "Day".
Import the day as month/day/year into a field "Day" in access table "WeatherSFCAL"
Import the Fahrenheit temp from the high section into the field "High" in access table "WeatherSFCAL"
Import the Fahrenheit temp from the low section into the field "Low" in access table "WeatherSFCAL"
I am having difficulty importing a large txt file into my database, due to the first column containing a * prefix. normally i would just go through the document and delete it, but this file is quite large at over 100k records.
Is there anyway of importing this file in access 2010 and telling access to ignore the first column?
Code beneath worked perfectly with Access 2003.Now we switched to Access 2010 and it generates a table where data isn't put into my 77 fields like before, but seperated into 1 field, separated by some ;;;.I am not good with programming.
Dim rst_data As Recordset
Dim oldname As String, newname As String
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "TBL_import_TPXP_Radi_Evvd"
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "TBL_import_TPXP_Radi_Evvd", "N:APPLSHAREPRDQSIGMKTDISTPWBUSPB1815RADIEV IMPACT.CSV", False, ""

Hi there anyone and everyone.
My problem concerns importing a date from a txt file. I've been doing this for years with '97 and 2003 with no problem, but with 2007 I am now getting import errors which I can't resolve. The files, either fixed width or delimited, contain date information in the format ddmmyyyy (without any date separators). After importing I receive an import error message, and the relevant field in the table is blank.
In Access '97 or 2003 I can import date information directly into an Access date/time field by using an import specification where I have set the date delimiter to blank (by default this is set to "/" , so I simply delete this to leave the box empty). Using this method a file containing "25122007" (without the inverted commas) will be imported into Access as a date, and can be subsequently manipulated as date without having to resort to any fancy reformatting tricks. Obviously the import will not be sucessful if the date delimiter in the import spec is left as "/", or set to anything else, eg "." or ":".
But now that I've updated to Access 2007 this is just not possible no matter what I do or try. I can only import a date if the txt data has a separator, and that the same separator is set in the import specification.
In some new databases I have done a couple of workarounds, importing it as text into a text field, then using a CDate(Format(CLng([date]),"00/00/0000")) type expression in a subsequent query, but this is a pain having to do it, a really backward step.
But the real pain is older databases ('97 or 2003) which have been converted up to '07; they no longer work, and there is a lot of redesign to be done unless somone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Unfortunately I am not able to change the format of the dates in the data I receive, so the solution has to come from my end (ie Access). Surely Access 2007 should be able to recognise 25122007 as a date? All ideas gratefully received.
I've been happily using various versions of Access since 1994 and I've learnt lots along the way, and have always previously been able to sort out problems that I've come across without resorting to a forum, but I'm now really puzzled by a problem that I have come across in Access 2007. So although this is my first post I certainly wouldn't call myself a newbie. Hopefully I have described the problem accurately (it is realy simple in fact), but very happy to provide more information if required.
Many thanks (in anticipation)

I have a access 2003 database, and i am wondering if i can't setup a search function in a form that will open a file in windows explorer?
What i would like to do is have a test box that i enter in a number for example: 1234 then have a button named "Search" hit that button and it opens a corresponding file in windows explorer named 1234, or just opens that folder directly..
Is it possible to permanently display the file path in Access 2003 main title bar? I.e. whatever object is open the filepath is shown.
