I've got an access table with six fields, all of which are text fields. I have set up an export specification file in order to export the table as a tab delimited txt file. However, when I export, the output file is not lined up in columns!
What I am seeing is:
1 A BB CC DD EE 2 f GG H I J 3 kk LLMM NN O 4 PP Q R S T
I've tried a manual exort, using the Advanced tab for my specifications, with the same results.
If anyone can lend some ideas or suggestions, I would be very thankful.
Thanks in advance..... looking forward to your replies!
A little background. I need to export the results of a query I use to build a report. For Print Master software I need the "Field Names" in the text file as well as the data for a Mail Merge in Print Master (PM).
"The field name information in the file you have specified is missing or not correctly formatted. The first line of the file must contain the database field names. Make sure the "Export Field Names" (or similar) option is selected in the program from which you are exporting data."
Trouble is, when trying to export the report or query, Access has no "Export Field Names" option. It works if I first export to Excel and then from Excel to "txt" then to Printmaster. I would like to eliminate the Excel step. Therefore, how do or can I get Access Export to transfer the "Field Names" along with the field data?
What I'm stuck on is the filepath. The file path changes everytime. So I would like to have either the open dialog box (I've tried many different versions that I found on the web.) or to search by the account name for the folder and place the text file in there.
Here is one that is closely working how I want it to:
This is a function that I found, that opens a dialog box for the user to select the folder location. It works, but I can't seem to get it to work properly.
It prompts, the location, then once you select it and press ok. It will add the folder name to the full file name, and place the file in the default root path. Not the selected folder path.
So in the end it will look like this:
D:1_MainMyFolderName_MyTextFileName.txt
I'm somehow stuck on getting to seperate the file path from the file name, so you it look like this:
D:1_MainMyFolderNameMyTextFileName.txt
Code:
Dim MSg As String Dim SelectedDir As String Dim SelectedDirFinal As String Dim SelectedDirName As String Dim StrFolder As String
[Code] ....
I think it should be something very easy, that I just need a pair of fresh eyes to look.
I've tried the Fileobject, FileFolder method, but can't get the quite work properly.
I'm trying to import a pipe delimited text file into a table. I can import the entire table using the following code, but I only get one column of data (the entire data set in one column). If possible I would like to import with the columns defined or if not possible use some code for a function similar to text to columns.
I created a simple macro using the Export with Formatting action to export a table from access to excel. The dates in the excel file are not in the original format of the dates in the access file.How can I save the date and other formats when I export an access table to excel ?
I'm trying to import a text file with 273 fields into two tables. I've been able to do this with the code I found on an old thread and I'm now trying to accomplish everything with one step. The file I'm importing is tab delimited text file. With this current code I'm only able to populate the first record in the table and then I get error message. (Run-time error '3265') (Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the reqested name or ordinal).
Code:
Public Sub ImportTextFile() ' to use the ADODB.Recordset, be sure you have a reference set to ADO Dim rst As ADODb.Recordset Dim rst2 As ADODb.Recordset Dim strFile As String Dim strInput As String Dim varSplit As Variant Dim intCount As Integer
I currently have a query pulling data from a database - I need to now export the data to a text file to import it into a different database. I need the format to be like below. Wondering how I can tell the query to go to the second line and then the third line like below.
Hi Please help me, I have the form, in this form there is list of value which run query and resulting the report. For example if I have 5 item in list, i have to choose one of then and the query running and the report is print preview.
My question is, How to export all 5 report to 5 sheet in one excel file. I know may be the problem in format if I send to excel, but I will fix it in the excel. The most important is, I export the report to excel, each of the report in each of sheet of excel.
I have a CSV file and want to convert it in a text format with some filtered data and with some formatting. This is an everyday task for me. So I made a table and imported the data in to it by the command :
Actually I have a column "SERIES", contains various series like "EQ", "BE", "DR", "BZ", "D1" and so on. And one more column with the dates having 4 / 5 current months dates and one next months date and one next to next month's date. And every date has got several thousand records.
now the issue is that : After importing these several thousand records, I want to export it but with a specific date and with a specific series.
The other thing is that, these dates change every month so if hard coded, the problem will occur the next month.
this code is working fine but when the month will change, the code won't work.
Can we have a date & series picker attached to this query, so it can export the records with the specified SERIES & DATE.
I tried putting a textbox on the form named TxtDate and in a Query ( Design mode ) under the date column, in criteria I have put [Forms]![Futures]![TxtDate] and after putting this line, the query becomes empty and no data is there.
I just want to export a query table manually to a tab delimited file. I choose text try setting the file extension to .tab as well and I wind up with some sort of fixed width file.
I know this because when I open it in Excel it has the | symbos and so forth.
It's as if it is calling for an export spec, but I'm not aware of needing to do this when exporiting manually.
It seems like I have done this numrous times without this problem.
I had to delete a database so I exported selected records using export as a text file thinking I would get some sort of delimited text file that I could later use. Instead I got some sort of fixed length file with .............. between records and | between fields.
I'd like to convert this data to a tab delimited file.
In access i want to create a button that can export a form to a .pdf file i know this is possible true VBA, and i tried to google but all those vba codes do not work.
I'm trying to put together a few lines of VBA code to export a report called "Rework Label Report" to a specific network location in PDF Format, I have already achieved this level of code and it works fine (code below); however each report has a unique number in the database [ID] which I would like included in the title of the PDF when exported and saved?
Code so far:-
Private Sub Command20_Click() Dim stReport As String Dim stSubject As String
[Code]....
Me!Combo3 is a combobox on form which selects the number of the report to be viewed ,the user then sees a preview of their chosen report and then clicks Cmd20 to export to PDF, currently the file is named Rework Label Report when saved.
What I would like to achieve via code on a button. From the table orders
Code: orderDate orderID ref name amt vat 02/02/2014 56789 01 magdi 600 100 22/06/2014 12122 01 magdi 654 100 22/06/2014 65897 02 simon 250 159 22/06/2014 12345 02 simon 156 140 23/07/2014 56781 01 magdi 400 250 01/08/2014 12457 01 magdi 250 900 01/09/2014 56787 02 simon 126 500 02/09/2014 56781 04 peter 400 250 02/09/2014 12345 02 simon 450 122 02/09/2014 65897 04 peter 250 231 02/09/2014 12122 05 hargr 654 100 02/09/2014 79457 05 hargr 254 200
I need to create csv files from the above based on unique date and ref and with filename showing date and ref. So from the above we should get 9 csv files in this format
I have this report that needs to be export - 1 report per record
The report exports out but its the same record export out each time ( the name changes - but the data doesn't)
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click() Dim MyDb As DAO.Database Dim rsemail As DAO.Recordset Dim RefernceNumber As String Dim FilenameZ As String Set MyDb = CurrentDb()
Let me preface this question with... I DID NOT CREATE NOR DO I HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE FILE I'M NEEDING TO IMPORT INTO ACCESS.
I've got a situation where I'm needing to normalize a delimited .CSV file on a routine basis. The .CSV file has 369 fields. When normalized correctly, the true data should only be about 60 fields.
I didn't think this would be such a hard thing... just import the first 255 fields into one table, and the remaining fields into another table. Then, using a query... normalize the database as necessary.
I've scoured this topic all over... I've seen solutions for "fixed width" files, but not delimited. The only helpful thread I've found says that this is possible only through very complicated parsing through the file.
That's where I'm stuck... This is definitely over my head. If anyone has any help on this I sure would apprecaite it.
i have a small table, about 14,000 records. currently all the dates in the table are YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00. so 2007-2-28 00:00:00
I built a query and set the format to MM/DD/YYYY when I run the query the date showed correctly 02/28/2007 (no time stamp). However when I did the export it exported to the TXT file as 2007-2-28 00:00:00 (notice the months is only 1 character and it added the time stamp and it exported as the table format, not the query format)
I need to export this to a tab delimited file to send to another person. They are specifying MM/DD/YYYY (no time extension) and two characters for month and day regardless of day, i.e 02 not 2 etc.
I looked at access help, and have done a quick search, and I can not figure out how to do this.
I have a report that I would like to export to a folder, and I would like to include the FullName within the naming convention of the PDF.

I have a form with a list of names. When a specific name is selected from the list, a button is clicked and a query is run with the specific name as the criteria/filter.
I've written code to export these same query results to an Excel sheet, and I want the Excel file name saved with the name selected in the form.
Below is the code that I've written that doesn't work.
