When I import an excel sheet into Microsoft Access database tables, I get a automatic [table name]_$importErrors table generated. Almost always, errors are type mismatch error. Then, I need to go manually fix the cells.
Is there a way to automatically point to excel cell(s) which have error(s)? I am trying to write a VBA code which opens an excel sheet if an "importError" table gets generated automatically after import. Then, it goes directly to a cell in the sheet where it has errors with a click of button in the Access form.
i have these code to auto generate member number but the highlighted line generate error 94 - invalid use of NULL:
Private Sub cmdGetNumb_Click() 'On click of button a new Member Number is generated and 'focus is moved to tFName field. Me![nMembNum] = NewMembNum() Me![tFName].SetFocus 'Prevent accidental click Me![cmdGetNumb].Enabled = False
I have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).
The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command
gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.
Here's the code:
Sub ImportActivitate() Dim strFile As String 'Filename's Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String DoCmd.SetWarnings False
[code]....
Also, how can I make the routine stop cycling through the files after I renamed them all?
i have 1 table that link to excel file. the excel file is generate by other software and it's on excel 2.1 format. I've tried to directly link to the file but not working. so i manually open the file and save the file on excel 2002 format, then i use that file to be linked on my mdb. Unfortunately every time i replace the file with the newest data, my mdb not displaying the updated data.
- how can i link old version of excel on mdb? - what should i do so my mdb will display the updated data after the excel file is replaced?
I have a BE database that we have been using for over a year. I imported data from an external database into this database. Now I've found that my Autonumber has reset to a very low number -- that was imported from my external database. Is there a way to change this autonumber BACK to what it was and increment up? The lowest autonumber in this database is 275944, so I don't have to worry about duplicates in the near future. I would like it reset to 457230, or at least higher than that number.
Hi All I'm trying import an excel spreadsheet into an exisiting table. But there are some conversion errors in some records. But there is no conversion error table or log for me to trace. Anyone knows how can I find the records with error in order to fix them? Thanks in advance!
When a txt file is imported it can fail the validation - when this happens ive been told it creates a table with the rejected records
ive been searching the internet for hours now, and everything ive read suggests it just appears as a new table. But it doesnt - how to i view this table, doe it have a button somewhere to turn this feature on?
i really need to view the rejected records but theres no new table after importing, what am i doing wrong?
I routinely import from an Excel document provided by a third party. Most data in it is ok, but 10-15 records always end up in the import error tables which Access creates automatically when formats do not match. I am trying to automate this whole process thru VBA and am pretty successful so far, except that I haven't figured out how to programatically get rid of these tables (I do not need them, and data imports anyway). Is there a way to destroy a table programatically in Access?
I am having trouble getting the following code to load data from my Excel file "Book.xlsx" into my table called "ExcelDataBook":
Sub btnExcelImport_Click() DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "ExcelDataBook", _ "C:Usersdacampb1DesktopBook.xlsx", , "Sheet1!A1:B12000" End Sub
The Excel file only has one sheet "Sheet1' and has only 10,504 rows but this can vary so I set it in the code for 12,000 rows. The sheet has only two columns "A" and "B" with the first row of the two columns labeled "Store" and "Amount" and my tabel has only two fields "Store" and "Amount".My error reads: Run-time error '2391': Field 'F1' doesn't exist in the destination table 'ExcelDataBook.'
Access 2010 keeps changing the Capitalization of objects when I don't want it to.
For example "Cancel" becomes "cancel". Later it will be changed back to "Cancel".
There is also a table with a field "FULLNAME". Several Queries build a field "FullName". As a result FullName, even in places like Application. CodeProject.FullName get changed to Application.CodeProject.FULLNAME.
(Track Name AutoCorrect is off. ) It is especially irritating because I export the code to text files and check it into source control. Sometimes dozens, or even hundreds, of files will show up as changed because Access did it's rename thing.
I am attempting to set up a saved import procedure in an Access database that will be run programmatically using docmd.RunSavedImportExport. The source document is an Excel file.My goal is to trap any import errors caused by inconsistencies in the source data. I'd also like to provide the user with some small amount of feedback on what is causing these errors.
My initial thought was to make use of the "File_ImportErrors" table that is generated following an unsuccessful import. *Not once* has this import procedure consistently generated an error table - sometimes the table is created, sometimes it isn't.
I have tried changing the file format of the import file to comma- and tab-delimited files, respectively. Both of these formats do consistently generate an error table, however none of the error values in the table are accurate - it reports a slew of type conversion errors for fields that are completely consistent and unproblematic, whilst completely overlooking conspicuous errors from text strings in date fields.
I have tried the same import, both procedurally and manually, using all available Excel and text-delimited formats, with the same respective results.I notice that nearly every thread on AWF pertaining to error tables discusses how to delete them, rather than make effective use of them. I suspect this is perhaps why?
I'm getting an import error that records are being 3 records being deleted and one lost due to violations. However when I go back to check the data that was imported I can't find anything missing. Any clues on what could cause the error but still import the data.
So I have a macro in excel which imports data from the excel sheet to a table in access db. Now the excel file has 4 columns which have dates.
- I imported the excel file from access via access so that I can get the heading of the table and the table is created. Then I deleted all the data in the table.
- When the table was imported 2 of the date columns got set as Short/text data type. Dont know why.
- Now, if I leave the data type as it is in Access table, my macro button in EXCEL works fine and imports the data to Access. If I change the data type, in access design, of the two data columns to date type, I get the type mismatch error when I run the import macro button in EXCEL. I am going nuts over this error. I even created a blank table in access and defined data types to all columns which would be imported from excel. but still excel macro button shows the same error.
I checked the format of all the four date columns is date.
I did a lot of hit and try and could it be the case that if access table fields are defined properly, but any of the data columns cells in excel sheet is null/empty, it will show the type mismatch error.
is it possible and is there a way, that once the data is imported to access, I can convert the value in the column from short text to date type.
Does anyone have a trouble in Auto Number in Ms Access Database? My case is I have 4,000 plus data with relationships to other table, and suddenly one field is not saving to the proper ID (data type of one field is MEMO). If any one out there have this same problem please send me to my e-mail kutchaia@yahoo.com or webmaster@alwabra.com I want to prove this to my boss that Auto Number in database can cause a lot of problem.

ALTERNATIVELY, is it possible and is there a way, that once the data is imported to access, I can convert the value in the column from short text to date type.
I have a table with about 3600 keys, numbered from 1 to 3600. When I try to enter a new record, the autonumber starts in the 20's. I get an error message about duplicate keys, and I have to cancel. If I try again the autonumber goes up by one, but it will take hours to do this with approximately 3600 tries to get past the highest exisiting key number. Is there a way to make Access reset this? THis table is linked to a many-to-many table and I can't start over or I will lose all my relationships.
I'm trying to import a CSV. When I open the CSV, some of the values have decimal places (e.g. the dollar charge is $342.25). When the file is imported to a table, it shows up as $342.00. I import this file every month, and never have a problem. For some reason this month, the file is importing only the whole number.
Private Sub Consolidate_Click() Dim temp As Variant Excel.Application.Visible = True temp = Dir(CurrentProject.Path & "Inputs") Do While temp <> vbNullString
[Code] ....
From the second iteration its not picking the error.
I created some VBA imports from a saved Excel file. When I run it on my computer, it works fine. When my coworkers run it, they get an error "Type mismatch." Some files seem to upload despite the error, but I'd like to figure out why it's happening, especially for cases where the data doesn't import. As a band-aid, I added a line in my error handler that says if the error = "Type mismatch." then just resume.
I have text files placed into a folder like AIN28_01012014_1355.txt
I need to import these but the files have the date and time added to the name which i cannot stop AIN28_ will always be the same is there a way to import the file just off AIN_*.txt or something like that
I was thinking i could use file copy and change the name but that needs to know the exact names doesn't it...
