Importing Blank Rows?
Feb 14, 2005
Hi everyone,
I am using the following code as an import button on a form, everything works and it imports the data but for some reason it imports several blank rows as well all the other data?
Private Sub bImport_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_bImport_Click
Me.tbHidden.SetFocus
If IsNull(tbFile) Or tbFile = "" Then
MsgBox "Please browse and select the most recent file.", vbCritical, "Invalid File"
Else
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Delete Daily Download"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "Daily Download", tbFile, True
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Update"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Archive"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
MsgBox "imported, updated and archived", vbOKOnly, "Imported Data"
End If
Exit_bImport_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_bImport_Click:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_bImport_Click
End Sub
I have checked the source spreadsheet and there is definatly no information being displayed.
Anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks a lot
Tim

Hi Folks.
As a newbie in Access, but not in Excel, I tried to 'get external data' from an Excel spreadsheet into an existing Access table.
However, it brought in blank rows because those rows had a formula in them but nothing else.
Any way to avoid the blanks being imported??
Many thanks

How to insert x number of empty rows at once in a query? All fields allow null.
Say, if I wanted to "resize" the table to 3000 records...

Hello all!
I have a database that needs to post records that are joined from three different sources into a table. The query is done, and I get about 1,489 records out in 4 different states.
What I need to do is make a table with these records. Furthermore, it must be separated by state, whereas if there are less than 1000 records for each state, it must insert blank lines until it reaches then next thousandth (sp?) row (i.e. 1001, 2001, etc.), and then start posting the next state.
For example, AZ has 420 records. There has to be 580 blank lines before the query can start posting the next state, CA. At row 1001, CA starts posting, but there are only 200 records for CA so there must be another 800 blank lines before moving on to CO at row 2001, etc. etc.
Anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks!

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?

I have a PivotTable that I am trying to put together that will give me the following:
Types of Payments - Left
Accounts Where Payments came from - Top
Amount of Payments - Data
I want it to look like a spreadsheet where it will show me all the Types of Payments even though I don't have any data in there. Almost like an Excel Spreadsheet but I want it in Access. I was able to get the Columns to show up even though I had some blanks but now I need the Rows to show up.

Basically I want to import an excel file that doesn't have any column headings and the data starts on row 4. I already have a table with all of the column headings set in Access.
My research led me to create an import specification and then edit that in the 'mSysIMEXSpecs' Table to Start on Row 4 and then use that spec in VBA to transfer the file to my table. That all seems good, but it seems like an Import Spec only gets saved to the 'mSysIMEXSpecs' Table if you are importing a text file. Nothing gets saved there for Excel.

I decided to link Excel files and all is running fine except when I run a query on the file I get about 1,041 blank rows before my data is displayed in the query's datasheet view or any report based upon this query... the data seems good but why the leading blank rows? The data in the linked Excel sheet does not look like this and another Excel file's query looks fine and they seem set up identically!

I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...

OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
what else can I do?
Thanks

Not sure if what I want to do is possible, or at least possible the way things are set up.
I have a massive table - c. 6 million rows. It contains data along these lines:
Plan#, Item, Price, Description, Colour, Value, Location, etc.
The primary key would be Plan# + Item. Each Plan# has approximately 1,000 Items, and there is only 1 Item per Plan#. There are only a limited number of Items (c. 1500) and all or only some Items might be assigned to the Plan#. All items under each unique ID# belong together, sort of in a set. So this huge table has approx. 6,000 unique sets (based on Plan#).
To add to the confusion, Item A under Plan#1 may have different information (Price, Description, Colour, etc.) from Item A under Plan#2. I know this isn't a great way to set up data but this is what I have to work with.
Over the years it's possible that the exact same combination of Items with identical values might have been set up for multiple Plan#s. What I need to do is find any Plan#s which have the exact same combination of Item, Price, Description, etc. So if Plan#R has 200 rows and Plan#S has 201 rows, it automatically doesn't match. If Plan#R has 200 rows and so does Plan#T, all information in each record must match between the two Plan#s (with the exception obviously of Plan#).
I don't think this is possible, and if it is I am sure it's not going to be easy. So far the best I can do is to come up with finding duplicates on Item, Price, Description, etc. but that's only one record at a time and doesn't tell me if the two Plan#s match.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!!

Hi guys,
I have been running the same database on numerous systems for 5 years and the user clicks on a button and using this code;
DoCmd.OpenForm "Employee", acNormal
Simple !, this always opened this form blank, without applying filters, ready to accept a new employees details.
But now this no longer works, for no apparent reason?
What happens is that it opens with the form fields filled with the first person in the Databases details instead of being blank.
The only thing that could have changed is that i converted the database to 2003?
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

When entering information into a blank form, I would like to be able to continue entering information to another additional blank form after my last entry. Is there a way to continue to a blank form after entering information into the previous blank form? I would just like to continue without having to close the entire form and then reopening another form.

I would like to covert it to....

Reviewer Mike Jeff
I don't think Access has any functions for this but I am not 100% sure. I know this can be done in a Module but I am not sure of how to code it.

A 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

I imported a database designed several years ago into Access 2003, but all that I got was the tables. Is there a way to get the reports, queries, forms, etc? Thank for all the help.

I 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?

I am trying to import into a table a very large text file that has information dumped into it every morning from a daily import.
I am building a database that is also using the same information but on a stand alone database and was curious to know if there is a way to link the txt file to a table so every morning that the new info is imported it will just automatically dump into the table.
I have filling this is not since it is a txt file and I will need to just setup a custom menu button that when pressed does the import into the table, but I was hoping it would be as simple as a link.
Thanks ahead of time.

I am importing from a spreadsheet. The column is formated as text.
In the design view of the Access table for the associated field it is showing text.
When it encounters a record that is all numbers and no letters it imports it as an exponent
i.e. 32986698 is imported as 3.29867e+007
What can I do to correct this?
Thanks
Bill

Hi Im trying to update a row this is the SQL im using
UPDATE HouseEntry
SET [Date]=(SELECT [Term Dates].Start FROM [Term Dates] WHERE [Term Dates].Term =1)
WHERE
EntryNo=40;
When I run it I get an error saying "Operation Must Be an Updatable Query"
If I physically put it in the date e.g SET [Date]=#09/15/2005# It works
so there must be a problem with my Select Statement.
Any ideas???
Cheers

The following is for a successful pet grooming business.
I have a Customer Table with a Customer ID as primary key. I have a Pet Name Table with a Pet ID as primary key. One customer can have many pets. The Pet Table is linked to the Customer Table via the Cust ID. I have a Visit Table with an Auto Number for each visit. The Visit Table is linked via the Pet ID number. Each pet can have many visits. That's the problem. We have exceeded the 64,000 rows in the Visit Table. All three linked tables support all the queries, forms and reports. How can I continue beyond 64,000 visits.
Thanks, Jed
