In our company we send off a lot of reports for a given sample. Sometimes the office folks need to do a specialized report with tables and other formatting. They would like to be able to a: be able to have another report where they could just write stuff, comments, etc about the sample and b: be able to import these word documents that have the tables and other formatting. If we could not use word at all that would be great but I don't think there is a way to do the formatting necessary in access. So my question is: how do I import a word document and have it displayed in a form and then print on the report. I would like to store the whole document in one field in a table. (is this at all possible?) I have searched this forum and haven't found what I'm looking for. Thank you for any help.

I cannot import publisher files into word:confused:
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy end goal is to populate a pre-existing table in an MS Word document with records from a query. The easiest way I've found (through scouring the internet) is to start with the code below (ran during OnClick() even in Access) to get the table the same size as the recordset:
Code:
Dim wDoc As Word.Document
Dim wTable As Word.Table
Dim wCell As Word.Cell
Set wDoc = appWord.Documents.Add(strDocLoc)
wDoc.Visible = True
[Code] ....
The code will shrink the table down just fine if the table has more rows than the recordset +1 (for header column). My hangup with this is the last line ("Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5") isn't executing; rows are not being added to the table. I get no errors -- it just does nothing. I set it as "Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5" arbitrarily just to see if it would even add rows, and sure enough it's not.
I have a database with existing tables.I now want to add a whole bunch of records into my access tables.A lot of the data is repeated, and lends itself to my doing it in excel with it's better copy and paste abilities, and it's ability to easily increment alphanumeric fields.I can't seem to succeed in append importing to the bottom of my access table from my excel spreadsheet. All columns are the same.Can this be done, and if so how please?I'm on XP Pro with Office 2003 Pro.I'm also very much a newbie in Access.

The issue is that I don't need all that data, just specific ones (the website does not allow me to select the specific data to export). I created another table (tableB) to capture the data that I require for my report.
How do I take raw data from tableA to append to tableB the required fields that I want?

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 all,
Here's my situation;
I have a database called "polls" with a table called evote which is distributed to the public to use.
What i'd like to do is create another database called import with a form that is used mainly to browse for a file and import it to the "polls" database. It should overwrite the table evote with new information.
Are there any examples of how i should get started?
I tried search but couldn't come up with anything
Thanks in advance
Take care
I have a table of information in Access and I was wondering what would be the best way to get the info I need out of it.
for example can I search for a specific word that could be anywhere in the table in any of the cells.
The word is 'pump' and I would also want to know if it is an inception pump or not and then I would like to see a list of clauses associated with the pump (the clauses would be in a specific column under a heading)

Hello,A plc is writing a profile to a csv file each minute. In order to make an analysis I need to put all these profiles together in one file. I wrote a small VBA function which works fine under the 1000 csv files. It's not a very smart function, but it works. However after the weekend i need to combine a lot more files into 1 table and when Access reached about 1050 records,I get an invaled input message. The csv file is intact. I think the function creates a memory overflow by opening and closing the table after each imported record. Does anyone have a possible solution for this?I just noticed in my explorer that the access database is 2 Gig big!! So i really looks like an improper call of function and closing.Below is the code I use. The number of files to be imported I get from a small textbox, with input from the user.Thanx in advance,OviparousDim counter As IntegerDim filex As StringPrivate Sub Knop2_Click()counter = CInt(Form_Formulier1.Tekst0.Value)On Error GoTo macro_import_profile_ErrDo until counter = 0 filex= "f:profielen" + CStr(counter) + ".csv" DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "0 Importspecification", "profile", filex, False, "" counter = counter - 1 LoopForm_Formulier1.Visible = Falsemacro_import_profile_Exit: Exit Submacro_import_profile_Err: MsgBox Error$ Resume macro_import_profile_ExitEnd Sub

View 4 Replies View RelatedI work for a company that has a mainframe application that produces "outgoing" files. They are downloaded to a server and converted to ASCII (all at one time) and then ftp'ed to various clients. We are converting to a client server application and I am in charge of verifying that the mainframe application files (converted) are EXACTLY the same as the server application files. I came up with a process of loading the files to access databases and then with a series of queries and reports produce a list of exactly what doesn't match, which record, what positions and display the two fields that are mismatching.
My problem is that when I try to load the Mainframe file (note that it has already been converted and "eyeball to eyeball" the files are alike) using the "new" / import functions, Access rejects the file because it is greater than 65000 bytes. If I cut the file down to under 65k bytes it loads fine. I can load a 500,000 byte file that was created on the server in the first place.
Any suggestions? I can't change any of the processes that create the files. But I can change copies of the files so that I might be able to get them to load so I can verify that the data inside is the same. I'll let the geeks figure out how to fix the file/record control stuff.
(wouldn't have this problem if I was back on a mainframe!!!!)

Guys, i have a recovered Foxpro table, the problen i have is the numbers have the wrong format. To be exact, 63 should be 0.63, 1200 should be 12.00, 4250 should be 42.50. In other words i need to put in a decimal place two places to the left of each number. How do i do this on import i? Do i have to run a query and make a new table? If so what function and expression do i use?
Many Thanks :)
I have a large Microsoft Word document that has a table. My delema is, I want to bring each row of the Word table into records in Access table. The problem is the way the text is formated. This is an example of how each table entry looks like in word:

Do you have any idea how I can import this text formated as such into Access?

I've got a problem I can don't know how to solve (since I'm a complete access noob). I've got an acces table that is populated with around 1000 entires, all starting with letter N, followed by numbers. Then I've got another table from last year which is also populated with 1000+ N entries AND 1000 V entries.
I would like to trasnfer/copy all V entires from last year table into this year table. I'm sure this is possible but I don't know how. In short, I would like to copy 1000 rows of last year data into this year table/data. What's the easiest way (if there is any)?
how to import a table using VBA like so:
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim dr As String
dr = Dir("F:SomeFolder*.mdb", vbDirectory)
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft Access", "F:SomeFolder" & dr, acTable, "Table", "Table2"
End Sub
This was just a test to see if I could get an import to work. My problem is that I have a lot of .mdb/.accdb files with similar tables that I need to add into one larger database and these similar tables could have different names in different folders. For example, a file named db1.mdb has a table named tbl. Another file named db2.mdb has a table with all of the same fields, but its called tabX. Furthermore, db2.mdb could even contain a second table that I need to import.
My question is:
Is there a way to simply import all the tables from an access database without knowing any table names using VBA?
We publish a PDF file every week full of taskings that our subordinate organizations need to accomplish for the following week. I would like to have parse the PDF and store the data in a table. I think the only way to start this operation is to first save the PDF to Text (Plain) as this create some way to delimit and parse the data. So, once it's saved as a txt file, it basically looks something like this:
Code:
//
Column 1 Data/StuffIDontCareAbout/
StuffIDontCareAbout/StuffIDontCareAbout//Column 2 Data
StuffIDontCareAbout/StuffIDontCareAbout/
Column 3 Data
[Code] ....
...and so on and so forth anywhere between 50-100 more times
The entire text file will always start and end with "//" at the top and bottom. You also see that each tasking paragraph (starting with "Column 1 Data" and ending with "Column 3 Data") is preceded by a "//" on its own line, and also followed by a "//" on its own line. The text file will always look exactly like this with each tasking paragraph having the same number of forward slashes.
Column 1 Data always starts on a new line under "//" and runs until the first "/" (single forward slash).
Column 2 Data always starts after the "//" on the 2nd paragraph line and runs until the end of the paragraph line
Column 3 Data always starts on the 4th paragraph line and runs until the end of the paragraph line
Here's a quick example of what I'm talking about:
Code:
//
37 NOS001/DCO/
TaskPer/TBD//310001ZAUG2014-292359ZSEP2014
GenText/Remarks/
(U/FOUO) This will contain the actual task description and details. You can see that "(U/FOUO)" contains a forward slash.
[Code] ....
So after it's parsed, my table would have the following new rows:
Code:
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3
37 NOS001 |310001ZAUG2014-292|(U/FOUO) This will contain
582 NOS012 |280001ZAUG2014-022|(U/FOUO) This another task
I am trying to import a csv file into a table... it works fine however it put all of the row in just one column ...
DoCmd.TransferText TransferType:=acImportDelim, TableName:="tblTempImport", _
Filename:=CurrentProject.Path & "/xxx.csv", HasFieldNames:=False
And i end up with tblTempImport only having one column F1....
I'm not sure where this question belongs but I need to give users the ability to create a small table in MSWord or another program, and then paste the table into a data field. An image of the table would be fine. But it needs to be user friendly.
If that's not possible they could just create a Rich Text document with text formatted in a table form with out gridlines. I would need about a 2000 character limit. Not sure if this is reasonable or not??
