Transfering MYSQL Data To An ACCESS Database- HELP ME!
Oct 31, 2005Could someone please help me?
At work we have a website with a mysql database attached to it. It keeps data such as customer name address postcode contact id etc.
Currently our main database is made in access.
I need to transfer data from the website database (which is in mysql) to our access database. And would like this to happen regulary. We have been quoted £1800 for someone to do this!
As this is a new job i would like to be able to do this myself, is it hard to do?
Could someone provide me with some information of how to do this? or where to start.
Much appriciated.

Jul 16, 2007Someone recently answered my query with regards to uploading data to an access table.
The first coloumn is an auto incremented number.
Will there be any problems with importing data - when one field is auto increment?
Obviously I wont be uploading values for this column - can that be done?
Help With Importing Data
Nov 14, 2007Hi,
Another question on this database I'm working on.
I have my database pretty much ready to go, but they would like to import data from another access database into this one.
The problem I'm seeing is, I've been working so hard to normalize my database with the proper relationships etc.
The database I'm importing from, the data there are all stored in huge tables.
so for example in my database I have our main table, that holds all like data. Then my other tables for specfic data that then relate to the main table ID.
The other database has everything in 1 table.
I've created a query and got what I needed from the other database, but not sure how to import it into my main table, and have it so the 'specific' data goes into the right table, and so the Main_ID field points to the correct record in my main table.
I don't think I explained that very well.
Here is how my structure is in the new database
tbl_main
Main_ID
Code_ID
Effective_Date
End_Date
Createdby_ID
tbl_CCE
Main_ID
Codeinfo
etc
etc
now the old database, everything is in 1 table and I'm not sure how to break it down so after I import the table CCE/Main_ID is the same as the Main_ID in my main table.
I'm still not sure if I explained that very well....
Importing Data
Aug 10, 2005Hi
I'm trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into an empty table using the Import Wizard (File/Get External Data/Import). All's well until I'm presented with the window that tells me that I can "store" my data either in a new or existing table. However the radio button and Existing Table name field is grayed out. Any ideas gratefully received.

Importing Data Help
May 15, 2007I'm hoping someone can help me with what (I think) may be a minor oversight by me.
I'm trying to import data from an Excel Spreadsheet into a table that I have already created for my job.
Both the table and the excel spreadsheet have a common factor which is an identification number. I would like to import the data into the existing table so that the additional values fall under the appropriate identification number.
I hope that makes sense - if not let me know and I'll try to explain further.
So my question is - is this possible? I searched the help files and some internet resources and couldn't find anything this very specific kind of importation.
If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it as you would save me tons of time.
Thanks in advance!
Importing Data From Mde
Feb 18, 2008I have my sister using the db (in mde form).
When I make design changes to the mdb, I need to import (freshen) the data from her mde. (We're in different states) Obviously, when I do this, I get a duplicate table renamed.
If I do a query to freshen the data, will an update query just copy the changed/new data without the unchanged ?
Or is it best to just delete everything in the table and append the data from the mde table ?
Or is there a better way to do this that I'm not thinking about ?
Data Importing
Feb 18, 2008Hi everione
I have to make a db that imports data from a textfile. I read the posts about automating the proces but I have two other problems. The text file is generated by a proces control software and has a .gbc extension ( I tried to solve this by importing to excel and then to acces) and the textfiles has a limited number of entries araound 300 so after al the records in the textfile are writen the records are overwriten. Is it posibel to make acce to read only the new records and adi it to a table witouth deleting the old records? the record has a date and time included.
Im a acces user for only two weeks so i would be greatful for any help.

Sep 11, 2006HI I would like to design a form where user could be given an option to browse a database .mdb file and then select a table from that database that appears in a combo box and then a query should retreive all values from that selected table.

Set rs = Currentdb.OpenRecordset("strqry")
or when i tried using application.access thing. I still could not retreive list of tables. Thanks very much for suggessions that I am looking forward to.

Importing Data To Back End
Jul 25, 2005Hi,
I have a DB that relies on text file imports as well as input and I recently split it. Unfortunately now my refresh script that updates the tables based on the text files imports them into the FE rather than the BE. I have messed around with workspaces but am struggling to get a solution. Ideally i'd like to be able to call DoCmd commands directly in another database but if anyone could give me the code to execute a function I can take it from there.
Thanks, Tom

Aug 24, 2005I have searched and not found exactly what I am looking for..so here is my question.
I have a large database that works fine, IF people would stop trying to play in it!! What I want to do is to restrict access to everyone except managers.
So, I copied the db for warehouse users to input their data (picker id, no. of minutes) that holds only one table and the form that opens automatically (they do not have access to anything but the form) for their input...Then, at the end of shift I want the managers to be able to click a button on Switchboard that copies all entries for day into the original db to run their reports. (These dbs are on a network)
So, how do I manage this? I want to use a macro and transfer database table, then run an append query to put the current records in original table...I can do that, but I dont know how to delete the records in users db. It needs to clear out all records in that db when it has been transferred... I want all control to be in managers hands. All the users can do is input their data.
I know you can help, so I will say thank you now.

Importing Data From Excel?
Dec 5, 2006I need to import 1600 people from excel.
as the program that we use to use was free and setup for what we needed. That has the ability to create a excel sheets with the 1600 people on.
Now all the fields are different, and i'm not sure how to do it.
When importing do you get the option to put the fields in the correct place, or do i need to edit them? and then import.
Another thing the address layout with fields will be completely wrong. I believe it used separate fields for each line of the address where in my DB i use 2 fields 1 address and 1 postcode.
Importing Data From Excel
Apr 15, 2007Hi,
I am trying to import some data from excel to a new table in access. When i am running the import wizard in access i.e. File->Get External Data -> Import, as soon as i select the excel file (which has a sheetname of Sheet1), i am getting an error that i can not import since there is an invalid character 'Sheet1$'.
I tried renaming the sheetname to various other names, however, everytime i am getting the same error with the dollar sign being added at the end of the sheetname.
Any ideas what's going on please ?
Thank You in advance.

I'm importing an excel file that has one column with currency (4 digits after the period) using a macro. When I open the table in Access that was created by the macro the currency column is only 2 digits after the period. Is there a way to import this data without access rounding up the amounts? I need the data to show exactly the way is in excel. Please help!

Importing Data From Two Tables
Mar 31, 2005Hello everyone,
How can I transfer or import data (NOT TABLES) from two related tables. The two tables have parent-child relationship and have multi fields. I tried to use the import command but it imports tables rather than data. but I want to move data not the whole table. I can use copy and paste command but I couldn't copy both main data and sub data at the same time. I could be able to copy the main data all at once and paste them but they don't take the sub records along with them unless I copy them record by record and pate them to the corresponding file, which is very time consuming for a very big data.
Is it possible to create a command that imports data from two tables at the same time? Note that these tables I am trying import data from have the same format but different field names.
These data are collected using the same application but by different users at different locations and I want to transfer them to our main data base. If any of you can help me with this I really appreciate. Thanks.

Linked Data Vs Importing
Apr 25, 2006hey all,
here is a general question:
i am creating a database that relies on data in 3 different excel spreadsheets being updated by 3 different users. that is, each person is responsible for updating the Dates for their spreadsheet.
my database needs to pull these dates to extract the most current info every time i run my query.
my question is, is linking to these excel spreadsheet a valid method in completing this task. other that that, i guess i would need to import the data form excel every time each one of the 3 users updates thier stuff.....which sounds horrible.
any thought/suggestions would be great.
