Modules & VBA :: Exporting Tables - External Table Is Not In Expected Format
Sep 15, 2014
I'm currently using the following VBA to export all tables within my DB to Excel on separate tabs:
Dim td As DAO.TableDef, db As DAO.Database
Dim out_file As String
out_file = CurrentProject.Path & "" & "Backup.xls"
Set db = CurrentDb()
For Each td In db.TableDefs
If Left(td.Name, 4) = "MSys" Then
'We do not need MSys tables in excel file
Else
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
td.Name, out_file, True, Replace(td.Name, "dbo_", "") 'We do not need dbo prefix in sheetnames
End If
Next
But upon exporting I get the following error:
"Run-time error 3274' External table is not in expected format"
It then hightlights the following line:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
td.Name, out_file, True, Replace(td.Name, "dbo_", "")
If i navigate to the directory i can see that it has exported it to excel(attempted), but half of the tables(tabs) are missing.

I have a function that exports a number of tables within an access 2007 database to one spreadsheet using docmd.transferspreadsheet.
The error message in the title of this post presents itself during a loop which transfers the tables to the spreadsheet. However, it doesn't always happen, sometimes it completes the process perfectly which is quite frustrating.
Below is the section of code where the error occurs ....
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM tbl_Table_Exports WHERE Type = 'CRM'", dbOpenSnapshot)
rs.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF
TableName = rs.Fields("Table")
WSName = rs.Fields("WSName")
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, TableName, NewWBPath, True, WSName
rs.MoveNext
Loop

A lady at work created an Access database that imports a dBase 5 file and when I go to import this file on User #1 PC it gives the error;
"External table is not in the expected format."
I can use the same Access database and same dBase file to import (stored on a shared network drive) from User #2 & #3's PC's and all works well. The only problem is that it is User #1 job to do this.
I unloaded Access 2003 and reloaded it and still the same results. All 3 PC's are identical via hardware and software.
It use to work until this past Tuesday when it started to give the error.
My steps are:
open the "Sales" Access database
select the prices table
Get External Data / Import and then select Prices.dbf
Then the error message comes up.
I am not an Access database guy and could use some help!
Thanks

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 was wondering if it was possible to link random external tables to the Active Database through VBA. I would like to run the code that would open up a dialog box that would let the user select the database as well as the tables within that database that the user can select to link to. I am able to select the database and but not able to select the actual tables. The tables will be random so I can't make a constant statement for a specific database.

code that will allow me to take data [All Fields] from a Table in my Database and Insert them into another identically structured Table in another MS Access accdb Database.I would also like to filter for records older than a month [MyDateField]
I have tried the following code I found on line. It doesn't throw an error . . . but it doesn't perform the Insert either.
Code:
Dim ws As DAO.Workspace 'Current workspace (for transaction).
Dim db As DAO.Database 'Inside the transaction.
Dim bInTrans As Boolean 'Flag that transaction is active.
Dim strSql As String 'Action query statements.
Dim strMsg As String 'MsgBox message.
[code]....

I have an Access db in a 3 person multi-user environment on a Windows network.
There is a "PRODUCTION" db and a "DEVELOPMENT" db.
Let's call them PROD and DEV.
PROD has the most current data, shipping records, item master, customer data, sales, etc. - but not the most current structure.
DEV has the most current struture - all the front end stuff - forms, functions, modules, etc. - but not the most current data.
The way I've handled this in the past (it seemed to work) was to take the PROD db and rename it to PRODX. Then take the DEV db and rename it PROD. Then open DEV (now called PROD) using the usual shortcut to PROD.
So now that opens fine, and I have to update all the tables from PRODX - and I mean ALL of them - since I don't really know what data has changed since the last update.If I try to delete records I get blocked by access because of all the related records (I don't have cascade delete set on every relationship). So I delete the whole table - ALL of them (this requires me to also delete the relationships). Then I IMPORT all the tables from PRODX (these have the current data). But now the relationships are all gone. It seemed at first that the relationships were back and intact - but when I last looked they were gone. So this is my problem.
HOW do I COMPLETELY empty ALL of the tables - or even delete them - and then restore them or repopulate them from an exact copy of the db but with current table data - and WITHOUT affecting the relationships?
Obviously any back end structural changes have to be handled differently. Usually by manually making the same change on the PROD db that I had in the DEV db - because deleting the table will cause the structural changes to be lost.
One last thing - I've been working this way on an un-split db, and now I'm in the process of splitting it - which SHOULD make updates much easier.

Using access 2010. Trying to set up an import table from an external database.
Code:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft Access", "Y:DevTestFolder2013 01 Some Data Name", acTable, "tblName", "tblName"
I get an error 3024 could not find the file Y"DevTestFolder2013....
The database I am importing from is a 2003 .mdb. I tried the brackets because the file has spaces in it but still get the same error.

I have an Excel file with a name range "DBIAS" which identifies all database data.
Then I have an Access file with a form to import that database (better, that named range) into an Access table. While importing, I have to filter some records or grouping by some field.
I cannot run correctly a VBA code to get data (filtered and/or grouped) from that name range and save those records to an existing or a brand new table.
I could get those data as DAO.recordset and printed out with "Debug.print" on immediate window, but I cannot complete the final step: writing those records to a table.

I have a form built with multiple buttons. Once the user clicks the button and enters their parameter, I am using VBA to export the data to an excel pivot table. I would like to turn the subtotals to false so as the user clicks the check boxes in the pivot there are not any totals, subtotals, or grand totals. I am not sure how to add that to an existing query?

Once external tables have been linked to a database can the links ever get dropped accidentally.
ie should I test for missing links and recreate them programatically or assume that it will never happen?
It is easy enough to identify links which are present but any code which loops through the tabledefs will only identify links which are present.
I think the best approach, if this is necessary, would be to count the number of external links, compare the answer to what it should be, and refresh all the links if theree is a difference.

Dear Forum,
please let me ask a second question. I have two tables tbX and tbY, which both contain a column called "LastName". What I am looking for is a query or macro, which compares the columns "LastName" of tbX and tbY and then tells me, which items are contained in tbX but not in tbY.
To make it more complicated I have two cases. In the first case both tables are located in the same database. However, in the second case one of the two tables is not part of my database but located in a different Access-file in a different directory.
I would be happy for any suggestions.
Thank you.
Diana

Code:
Sub ExcelFormat()
Dim excelApp As Object
Set excelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
excelApp.worbooks.Open ("Z:DataTest.xlsx")
End Sub
