I know that this is possible.
I need to import a spreadsheet via a button, I don't know the name of the sheet nor the location. I need to have the open dialog box appear. I tried the import code which will not work without a name and location.
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 8, "GoldenViewIn", " ", True, ""

The problem is that I cannot import the updated excell spreadsheet. I get the error message.." An error occured while trying to import the file..the file was not imported"
Does someone have any clues as to how to fix this
i have to import sales figures from a branch to head office. the import facility in ms access 2.0 only allow for 1 table although the data that needs to be imported needs to be done into two tables. how would i be able to do that appending the data to a query already setup to bring in the data. it is just to import the data from the spreadsheet to the two different tables.
thanks melanie
I have some code that imports an excel spreadsheet into access and creates a table. I recently received a new spreadsheet that has many sheets. I only need the data from one specific sheet, resources. How can I make adjustments to the code below so that only the data on the resources sheet is imported into a new table?
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias _
"GetOpenFileNameA" (pOpenfilename As OPENFILENAME) As Long
Private Type OPENFILENAME
[Code] ....
So I’ve been assigned to develop a database in Access which will house information on students who are participating in an internship program sponsored by my employer. I was given a spreadsheet with roughly 40 columns, so it is pretty detailed info about the students. For example personal student info (DOB, email, phone, etc), as well as school, major, year rank, school address, permanent address, etc.
Importing this given table is easy, just by using the import wizard. However I am faced with a challenge. The info I have is up to date at this point however in years to come there will be a need to import new student info. The only way my employer wants that to be done is by taking the new excel spreadsheet and importing that data into the already created database. Now this wouldn't be a problem if the DB is one flat, non-normalized, table because the columns would line up. However I feel that the DB needs to be normalized because of the vast amount of data that is repetitive, such as State or Major.
Is there a way to import an excel sheet into an existing normalized access database? Or even a way to automate it so that the excel columns would be broken up into the separate corresponding normalized tables?
Thanks!
Hi
I'm trying to import a sheet from a excel spreadsheet.

I have a spreadsheet of generators with associated data: Make, Model, etc.
When I build the tables for the Make, each make will have it's own PK. Is there a good way to update the spreadsheet, replacing the Make for the PK other than using the find and replace function in excel (or update query in Access).
Example:
tblGeneratorMake
GeneratorID (PK)
GeneratorMake
John Deere has PK of 1
Kohler has PK of 2
If my spreadsheet has a list of Kohler generators, I need to change "Kohler" to "2".
I have a spreadsheet that I'd like to import into Access 2010 however prior to the import, I'd like to delete some of the rows in the spreadsheet.The spreadsheet only has one workbook.It will likely always be rows 1-10.I have already set up the Excel 14.0 Object reference, if that's even necessaryHow can I accomplish this using either VB or query?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFirst off, its been a long time since I have been here (since sometime in 2003 LOL), partly because I didn't have to create a new db in a while. Now, I have been handed a project and come across something new.
OK, here is what I want to do. I would like to be able to dump data from an Excel file into existing Access tables (two to be more specific). Now, I also have relating tables that add data into certain fields. I tried using a query to try to group data ad hopeful able to dump data through the query. I noticed that I couldn't import data through a query. Just for kicks, I tried to pull data through table and noticed that I can only create a new table, not able to update and existing table.
How would I go about performing this task? I have never attempted anything in the past.
Thank you in advance for your considered help,

I need some help on this one. :confused: I have two Crystal Report generated Excel spreadsheets that are auto-updated on a daily basis. One spreadsheet contains computer assets, type, model, locations, etc. The second spreadsheet has users assigned to them, phone numbers, etc. I need to import these in to existing tables with numerous filters into my Access database weekly. They don’t change a whole lot but I need the changes to be reflected in my database.
The way I have it setup now is through a linked table, then I use a “Make table query” to filter the data.
My problem is the filtered table has relationships set up that I have to delete then recreate every time I need to run the “Make table query” because it has to delete the old table first.
Is there a better way to make this happen?
I am using Access 2007 and we are importing an Excel spreadsheet that is received from our customer on a regular basis.When I open the Access table I see over 9,900 empty rows at the start. Following this is the actual data from the spreadsheet.Is there an import setting somewhere that would eliminate all these blank rows?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI work at a hospital and I have been able to copy and paste data from a patient list into an Excel spreadsheet into a list I can customize to track patients I work with. I had a macro that would take the data copied and pasted and organize it in the way I needed it in a design that works for me.
I'm trying to convert this system to Access to give me more control over the data and to try and make the process of creating the list a little more automated. I also have an Access database for "tracking", which is required by hospital management so I was hoping I could use the patient list database to streamline the process of entering interactions into the tracking database.
I'm not sure how to get the copied and pasted patient list into an Access in a way that will let me manipulate it in Access to do what I want it to do without having to add several steps of a) pasting it into Excel, b) importing the spreadsheet into the Access database, and c) cleaning the data that ends up in the final Access table.
Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or table format directly from the clipboard, which would allow me to skip Excel altogether? I'm using Access and Excel 2010.
I am importing a spreadsheet on a daily basis that has the same columns in every time but depending on the company I am importing it for different columns will be blank and not needed each time.
What is the best way of detecting and removing blank columns.

Hi all,
Can I set the default path for a dialog box to look in when called?
How do I get rid of the start up dialog? The boxes which pop up and say "Security warning, Unsafe expressions not blocked" and the other that says "warning this document may not be safe blah blah blah".
Thank you for the help :)
Hi,
I have a report and I am doing some SQL stuff at the back end on the report open. This takes a little time and I want to show the user that its working and I want to prevent him from double clicking the report again. So is there any way to show a progress dialog or something so that the user knows that the list is being built? Thanks in advance!

I am in the process of creating d/base of early settlers for our local museum. The Fields need to have reference to one or more files or programs outside of Access, e.g. Legacy, Word, photo files, d/bases of electoral rolls, etc.
The apparent easy solution was to attach these sources and I also got a handy Attachments dialog box that showed me the list of attachments for a every person or place. However, after entering only 10 names and attachments, the file size had grown to nearly 8Mb - obviously impracticable if the d/base is to contain over 2,000 names.
So, I switched to using Hyperlinks which cut the file size by 90% but now I have another problem: Hyperlinks only lead to one item, e.g. a photo, whereas the person concerned may have several photos and several other references. This would necessitate creating multiple Fields.
Is there a way to create a Dialog box (similar to the Attachments box) that would show me a list of the Hyperlinks for a particluar person?
I am trying to add a common dialog to my form from the toolbox and get the following error 'you dont have the license required to use this ActiveX control. Is there any way I can sort this out? I am using Access 2002. I am getting desperate and any help would be much appreciated
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I used the code below to hide all the toolbars and then created my custom ReportToolbar so the user can print the report. All works OK; however, the PRINT button on my custom toolbar sends the report imidiately to the printer. How can I create a button that I could add to my custom toolbox which would open the dialog box that allows to choose the printer, number of pages to print, etc.. (same action as I can get by going to File->Print)?
PS> Also, is there any way to remove the drop down arrow from my custom toolbox? I disabled Customize Toolbox but the pulldown arrow still appears. I found making an MDE would take care of this, but was wondering if there was another solution.
Code used to hide toolbars:For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = False

Hello,
I have an innoccuous problem with a report I run in Access. The record source for the report is a query that is pulls data from 6 tables. I have a table titled ARInfo that I have to return amost all the fields in the table (big table) so I used * and show all the fields. When I run the report from the button click event on my form, before the query runs that servers as the report's record source, a parameter dialog box pops up titled ARInfo (table name). You do not have to enter anything in the box for the report to run properly. I have only been with the company or 3 months, but we have used Aceess 97 and Access 2000 in the past and it is my understanding that in the old systems, this dialog would not pop up (The query, form, report, and code is unchanged0. Since we converted to Access 2002, this dialog pops up. The code behind the form, report, and in the associated modules is very immense (This report and form that drives it touches many diferent pieces of the system) so I'm not really about to inclued any code in this post. If anybody knows a quick and dirty trick to disable dialogs or any conceptual theories as to why this is occuring, please let me know.

Hi everyone,
I have a client I'm currently working for that has dumped Access on me. I'm not originally here for Access and am sort of learning as I go along (I'm here to setup, run, and maintain servers, etc.)
The problem is they have a large contact database in Access, and want the forms to pop up a dialog asking if data changes are okay before actually updating. I know that Access normally just does the change, but there is an issue with someone that doesn't understand computers at all making a mess of it (adding in one client 15 times, each with one different piece of information, erasing things in an attempt to search, etc, etc.)
I've been going all over the place trying to research the issue for hours and have had no luck finding a solution. Any help would be beyond appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a field in a form to which I wish to be able to browse to a particular PDF file. This location is then to be a hyperlink that when clicked upon, it will open the chosen file.
I have seen a thread already for file browsing, but it said to look at the VBA code, which I have no idea what it means :(
Please help, this is driving me mad.
TIA
