I am trying to read from an excel file that has the same format but changes data every day due to reports that I run from a different program. I just export them to this excel file called test.xls
What I want to do is import this data from the excel file and insert it into existing data in my table. I need to this every day.
Currently I cannot get the data to append. I can only insert the data once and cannot get it to append. I tried using macros, but think it would be better to use VB.
In a Access 2003 database, I have an "Inscriptions" (subscription) database with a primary key on 2 fields idPersonnel (employee) and idSession. I have made a form so that user can select a session (in a listbox), then one or more employee (another listbox) and suscribe them to that session by using a button, which, on VBA side, first check that there is enough room on the session (defined by "MaxParticipants" field on "Sessions" table, linked to "Inscriptions" table on idSession), then insert data in "Inscriptions" table
This is working fine in a single-user environnement, but fails if 2 people want to join some employees on the same session at the same time, as I have a confirmation message between check and insertion. Therefore 2 users can select employees, get the confirmation message (at this point both are told there is enough room), resulting in having more people than expected joined to the session. Fortuneatly, if both users try to insert the same employee(s) to that table, one will get a duplicate error, but insertion will be made if employees are different.
On another DB engine, such as SQL server, I would use a stored procedure that would lock the table, do the check and the insertion then unlock the table.
But it does not seem to be possible in MS Access. What are the possibilities in MS Access to prevent a session from having more than maximum number of participants ?
I've got a database with about 200 tables and have to make sense of it. There are no relationships and it is a little bit difficult to understand this mess. Is there any way how I could export only the table descriptions into an excel file? I want to end up with two columns. The first should contain the table name, and the second should contain its attribute/field names. Bit like: table1 attribute1 table1 attribute2 table2 attribute1 ... I'm new to access so it would be very nice if you could explain any steps in some detail.
i have a problem adding the data from the fiels on the form into a table. I know you can just click on the navigation arrows and it will save the record but i want to use a submit button as this is more user-friendly and suitable for the work i'm doing.
I have attached the database... the form that needs the code for submit button is 'frmNew_JobStatus' and the table i'm trying to insert the data into is 'tblJobStatus'
can anybody have a look at what i've done so far and suggest how i can fix this... sample code would be very usefull as i'm not an access expert.
I want to design a form , please note I have beginners information regarding Access, I have 2 tables , 1 table has Project No, Document No, DEpt NO. with all the information
There is another table-2 with Project No, Document No. and Resourcrce. There is not data in this table
What I want to do is , I want to create a form where in I select the Project No. and Dept No. When I select these items the form should list me the data in Table 1 for that Project no and DEpt No. , after this data is listed , I will add the REsource data and all this data has to be stored in table-2. I hope some one will be able to guide me on how to do this.
I am new to Access and i am designing a payroll system for my company. I have created a Table with
EMP Id, Name, Basic Pay, Total Working Days, Actual Work Days, Earned Salary, OT days, OT Hrs, OT Pay..
Now i have created a form with all the above fields.and calculated the earned salary from the control source where Earned Salary= Basic pay / Total Working Days*Actual Work Days and OT Pay =[Basic Pay/Total Work Days/8]*150%*OT Hrs.
Now my problem is i am not able to populate the fields in the table.
I am new to access (using Access 2003) and am having trouble working with forms. Here's what I want my form to do:
-Use a combo box to select a specific system -Given the selected system, pull up ID numbers and descriptions (in separate text boxes) from two separate tables corresponding to that one system -Navigate through those ID numbers/descriptions from each table independently to find ones that match -Store the ID numbers of the ones that match into another linking table
The biggest problem right now is being able to navigate through the different table ID numbers/descriptions and add both ID numbers to a row in a different table. I've tried using a combo box with the INSERT INTO statement into the code builder, but I keep getting syntax errors.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to do this?
In the above example student 1234 has a missing record in year 2004 which supposed to be Term2 in the previous year (i.e. 003) and Term2 supposed to be Term1 value in the following year (i.e. 004). Similarly for student 3311

I have an Access database. Now I want to export the data of a table in the database to excel sheet in pre-defined format. e.g. i want that in the first row of the excel file, there is a heading called "Report". In the second row, there should be column header like "Name", "Age", "Gender". Also there must be 1 column gap between this header. Then in the following rows, there should be data.
I am getting method of data member not found for the following code when inserting values to a table. Form has three frames. Add/Insert is on OnClick Event.
I've searched all over and can't seem to figure out an answer to this, so I'm putting it in front of the experts (who'll probably have a simple answer in about 10 seconds).
I'm doing a survey that has both radio buttons and check boxes. If it were all radio, it'd be easy, but the check boxes are making it complicated for me.
Here's the insertion code I'm working with: Code:SurveyInsert2 = "INSERT INTO data (answerID, surveyID) VALUES ('" & Request.Form(fld) & "', '" & currentsurvey & "')"oSurveyAdd.open SurveyInsert2, "dsn=survey" For Each fld in Request.FormoSurveyAdd.Execute(SurveyInsert2) Next which is spewing the answer: Code:Request object error 'ASP 0102 : 80004005'Expecting string input/survey_process.asp, line 44The function expects a string as input.
Hi, this dilemma really has me in a bind - say I have table1 and table2, when I enter data/update table1, I need to also enter the same data into table2. I know this sounds royally weird, but if there is a way to do this I would appreciate any and all help asap!
I have recently had to add a new field to a FIRM table in our contact database, Firm.PhoneNumber (please don't ask why it wasn't there before!). The primary key in this table is Firm.FirmID.
I have a list available to me in .csv format that contains all the phone numbers I need, it has two 'columns', labelled FirmID and PhoneNumber.
The process is surely a simple one, I just need to update/copy/insert the corresponding phone numbers from the csv file into the Firm.PhoneNumber field. I won't bore you with what I've attempted thus far but could someone please provide me with the quickest possbile method for achieving this task?

G'afternoon to all, I was wondering if someone can help me code a Command button named "Export to Excell" on form frmEdit. I need to export a query named qryTagnumber onto an excell spread sheet, Also if it isn't that hard and if it can be done, I would like to change the rev of the file name everytime I hit the button. Can this be done? Please see attached database. The Modules had to be removed for confidentiality of my company. These don't have to be used to run the program. They are just used for String functions. I look forward to your responses. Thanks...
Hi all, I'm trying to get the following done: I have code which import Excel files into my database with the "DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet". which works great. But I'm now splitting the database and I want to have the Excel files which a user selects in his frontend database, imported in my backend database. I don't see the possibility in the TransferSpreadsheet as this is set to the CurrentDb. My temporary solution is to import in the frontend and CopyObject to the Backend, but does anyone have a direct solution?
Super new to the forums and hoping I can find an answer here. After looking for an hour or so on Microsoft's site, I gave up and decided to venture into new resources.
My ultimate goal is to create a form that will prompt a user to select a Microsoft Excel file and then run a macro. The macro should import the Excel file into a single table based off of what form is being run. The idea is to have a single form for each employee of a specific department and have the form import information that is stored on our phone server into access. I've set up most of the macro but the argument section of the filename is what's hanging me up.
So finally my question; Is there a way to have a macro run to specify what file you want to import when using an additional macro? Am I going about this the completely wrong way and should stick to VB Code?
I look forward to your responses, thank you in advanced!
I have a database that contains a few tables and queries etc. I made a copy of this database so that I could change some of the VB code with out affecting the database information. I have completed all the code and now I want to input those old tables into my finished verion. I am not sure how to do this. Any ideas on how I could do this would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
The security table is made up of two primary keys: thing, personorgroup When i run this statement to insert into the security table
INSERT INTO security (thing, personorgroup, accessrights) SELECT '252600649', '4020', '255' FROM PROFILE WHERE not exists(select * from security where security.thing = '252600649' and security.personorgroup = '4020');
I get this error: Server: Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Line 25 Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_SECURITY'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'SECURITY'. The statement has been terminated.
Anybody know how i can perform my insert successfully? :D
i am trying to achieve a simple thing (at least it seems so to me!)... I am trying to add a new record to a table (LP_Product_Name) with only one field (Product_Name) as a part of a 'on Lost Focus' event of a text box (txb_ProductName). Code:Private Sub txb_productname_LostFocus()' Declare Variables Dim db As Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set db = Nothing Set rs = Nothing' Assign Values to Variables Set db = CurrentDb() Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("LP_Product_Name")' Enter New Product name to the table With rs .AddNew .Fields("Product_Name") = Me.txb_productname End With ' Close variables Set db = Nothing Set rs = Nothing' Restore Visible formMe.cmb_productname.Visible = TrueMe.cmb_productname.SetFocusMe.txb_productname.Visible = FalseEnd Sub When I type something in the textbox and shift focus to another field, nothing happens... no error message and no added value to the table! I dont know what is going on. It just doesnt work!
On the same form I also have a combo box that uses the same table (LP_Product_Name) as its rowsource. I want the Combo box to immediately show this added value.
