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 :)

Hi!
I am a newbie in Access. I am running Access 2003 and would like to be able to create links to Visual Foxpro9 tables using the VFP OleDB provider and not the ODBC drivers.
A few of my clients want to use the VFP9 tables in their reports but so far I have not been able to find a way to do it using OLEDB (except in a module with VBA code which I don't want).
I can do it using the ODBC but the problem is that ODBC driver does not recognise the VarChar fields in the tables.
I tried creating an Access project and then 'File --> Connections' but it does not display the 'Provider' tab to select which provider to use and by default assumes that SQL Server is the source database.
How can I get Access 2003 to allow me to select the OLEDB Provider?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
My computer crashed and I had to reinstall Access 2010 a new computer with Windows 8 and put my Access files on the computer from my backup USB drive. If I attempt to open the Access files from the USB drive, the computer has attached the Excel icon in front of the file name, even tho the type of files says ACCDB, and attempts to open with Excel. I get the following message: "'the file is not in a recognizable format".
The interesting thing is that if I open Access 2010 first and then 'find' the same file that I moved from the USB drive to my desktop, the file will open even tho it has the Excel icon.
How do I change my Access back to where they have the Access icon preceding the name, rather than the Excel icon?
Okay,
First I was thinking to write a little app in Access to work with a DBF file, that I assumed was a DBIII database. It was exported via a 3rd party software, and the primary interface up until this point has been Visual FoxPro. My problem is two fold:
1st:
When I tried to import it as a dBase III file, Access just closed. I mean, disappeared, no longer running, closed. I didn't even get an error message or anything.
So I tried to import via ODBC, using a "Machine Data Source" Microsoft Visual FoxPro Database (or table, either works) and selected the directory of the dbf file and selected the table listed once it scaned the directory and all imported fine.
So: If the Visual FoxPro Machine Data source worked, though I am confused why the DBIII driver just booted me, I am now concerned as to how I would write a connection string via DAO to access that dbf file at run time.
Basically I want to go to a static location on a network and access a dbf file, and perform query manipulations upon it. My connection will be READ ONLY to the actual DBF file and i would subsequently use MS Access to create any other relevant tables/queries based on the table in the dbf file. Since the Visual FoxPro MDS diver worked, do I need to write a connection string to access it, and if so, how would I do that?
Thanks

hi to all,
I have a software which links itself to a fox pro database/tables. Now i want to link some of these free tables or database from fox pro to access. Whenever there is a slight change in the fox pro tables/databases they must reflect directly into access database. Is this possible and how?
thanks,

I'm looking for some sample VBA code that dynamically creates a link to Visual FoxPro 9 table. Our group has a number of end user FoxPro applications, and as FoxPro is reaching the end of its life in January 2015, we need to replace it.
A lot of the processing we do uses tables with a date embedded in the name, e.g. MyData_20131211.dbf. We'd like to be able to let our users to use Access queries that point to these tables without having to manually create the ODBC link each day. Is there a way to set up a link once, then use VBA code to dynamically change the table it points to?
For example, we set up an ODBC link table to MyData_20131211.dbf, and rename the link table in Access to MyData_Today. Then tomorrow, the VBA code would change the link to point to MyData_20131212.dbf.
An alternative would be to dynamically recreate the link each day.
As the tables are large, we don't want to import them into Access if we don't have to.
I have been running queries and reports with data from our company database (a third-party system based on FoxPro2.6) by linking tables into MS Access 97 for years. We have now upgraded to XP and Office 2003, and suddenly I can no longer do this but get a message "Could not find installable ISAM".
I've tried to locate the required file on the Internet but no luck so far. Can anybody help me? I am currently using an old pc with Office 97 on it to run the reports, but it's in a different office location and makes the whole job very tedious. Are there any work-arounds?
Any help much appreciated!

I'm trying to import a few tables from a FoxPro database into an Access Database using VBA code. I know I have done it before and I remember struggling with the format last time.
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "ODBC Database", "ODBC;DSN=Hiremate;SourceDB=data-wwappshmfox32datahiremate.dbc;SourceType=DBC;E xclusive=No;BackgroundFetch=Yes;Collate=Machine;Nu ll=Yes;Deleted=Yes", acTable, "hires"
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have to import a file from an external website into a table (tableA) that I have established. 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

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,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.

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!!!!)

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
