Modules & VBA :: Export Table As Delimited Text To User Defined Location

Sep 20, 2013

I would like to export a table as a text file to a user defined location.

I have it mostly working, but not exactly as I would like. I'm stuck on the user defined location.

I have a Form that contains a subform and two command buttons.

The subform contains the table I want to export as a text file.

The text file has to be comma delimited, no qualifiers.

I have the transfertext command in VBA that works perfectly:

Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "My Specification Name", "MyTableToExport", StrDirTemp & "input_" & StrPName & "NameCode" & StrDIAUnFormatted & "d" & ".txt", False

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've also tried wildcard methods as well:

StrDirTemp = Dir(StrFolder & StrPName & "*", , vbNormal)

But keep throwing up blanks.

Modules & VBA :: Import Pipe Delimited Text File Into Table?

Apr 2, 2015

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.

Code:

DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "tblTest", "C:Work2015PPVMasterData.txt"

Convert Export As Text To Tab Delimited (Word Merge)

Aug 3, 2005

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.

How would I do this?

Thanks

General :: Export Query Or Report To A Delimited Text File

Aug 29, 2012

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?

Modules & VBA :: Export DAT File With Delimited Format

Aug 20, 2014

I need to export a .dat file with delimited format (using ";")

I have tried the following:

DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "ED File", "Employee Data Output", "c: estfilesfile1.dat", False, ""

But when I execute the code the following error is shown:

Run-time error '3027'

Cannot update. Database or object is read-only

Using the same structure "DoCmd.TransferText" but with the .txt extension in the file works perfect.

Also I have tried export the .dat file using DoCmd.OutputTo, but even if the export is done, the format is not kept.

How can I export the .dat file keeping the delimited format needed?

Modules & VBA :: Export Subreport To Excel - Object Defined Error

Apr 13, 2015

I have used the following script to export a subform to excel but it isn't working for a report.

The report name is spelled correctly etc... but the error message keeps saying error 2465 or if I enable the error handler it says application defined or object defined error.

I don't want to have to export the data to a table first, but if I have to then I guess I will have to.

Code:
Sub fFunctionNameExportExcel(ctrl As IRibbonControl)
'print to excel
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim ApXL As Object
Dim xlWBk As Object
Dim xlWSh As Object
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Const xlCenter As Long = -4108

Forms :: Create Set Number Of Identical Records Based On User-defined Text Box

May 12, 2015

I'm trying to create a database for a construction company, as an experiment more than anything, and my problem is this:

I need to create a set of identical records in the table "buildings" based on the information entered into a text box by a user on the form for registering a new project. I want each record to be identical except for the "plot number" field, which I want to start at one and increase to the number of buildings defined in the text box.

"Projects" is one table and "Plots" is in the other.

Modules & VBA :: Load User Defined Function At Startup?

Jul 15, 2013

I have quite a few user defined / custom functions which I would like to be available in any new database that I create without have to copy the VBA codes in a module each time. Basically, some sort of add-in that loads on MS Access startup may be (but I am not too sure - never created one). So something that will start with the MS Access Application and not just a particular database. I know excel addins can be copied to the XLStartup folder to achieve something like this in excel, but not sure about Access.

Error - User Defined Type Not Defined

Nov 9, 2005

Hi,

On Compiling my assecc database VB code I get the following error message "User defined type not defined". I understand it is beecause I have not declared the Variable Type, but have no idea to exactly which part of the code the error is referring to.

How do I find out WHICH User defined type is not defined, especially when I have not got any (or do not want to use any) user defined types?

Thank you in advanced programming wizards. Kind regards, Adam.

Modules & VBA :: Store Path Location Selected By User To A String

I am using this code

DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptFilter", "Excel97-Excel2003Workbook(*.xls)", strFilename, True, "", , acExportQualityScreen

With the OutputFile set to "" so the user can select the directory on where they want to store the exported template. I'm trying to figure out if I could get the file path and the file name and store it on a string so I could use it for something else.

Modules & VBA :: Attempting To Import Tab Delimited Text File With 274 Columns Into 2 Access Tables

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.

Modules & VBA :: Allow User To Select A Location To Save Just A Copy Of Image In JPG Format

Dec 6, 2013

Access 2010:

The database I'm working on stores label images, or better stated, it stores file paths where the label images are stored. These paths are used in reports and forms to view the label images within the database. What I'd like to do is to create a "save" or "email" button that will allow the user to select a location to save just a copy of the image in jpg format. I realize that it is possible to imbed the jpg image into a report and export it as a pdf. What I'd really like to do is find a way to save the image (perhaps by copying it from the path in the database and simply relocating it) and preserve the jpg extension if that is possible.

I am also aware that there are third party applications that will convert pdf reports into jpg files however network restrictions keep me pretty limited in my ability to download third party software.

Need Help With A Tab Delimited File Export

Oct 10, 2005

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!

Export Query To Tab Delimited Problem

Jul 26, 2005

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.

Any ideas? Thanks

In an Access 2010 form is it possible to export select records and fields in those records to a specific location?
