Access Version 2010
Excel Version 2010
I have 200 excel files in folder C:UsersLburchDocumentsHistoric DataTedan Data in Excel Worksheets - CopyAAA - Copy.The files only have one worksheet and the column format are the same. Worsheet name is different for every file though.Headings in first row.write a macro to import into 1 Access table so I don't have to do it manually.
I need to add two additional columns for each imported spreadsheet, which are not in the original files.
First column, named 'Customer Name', needs to retrieve information from cell A6 in Excel file, which is not part of range "name" that is imported to Access. If necessary, I could somehow include it in this range but then I still would have a problem of how to repeat a value of A6 in each row of table in Access.
Second column, named "File Name", I would like to include an Excel file name from which data was imported. Again, I would like to repeat value for each row in the table, i.e. if I have 6 rows with data from file X, I would like to repeat X.xlsx in each row in column "File Name".
Code:
Dim strFile As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM Data;"
' Set file directory for files to be imported
strPath = "C: est"

I have a data file I am importing into MS Access 2010. One of the fields is a large text field. When i import that field into Access the text is getting cut off. How do I get the full text field to import without cutting off?

I have a few hundred access databases all with the same tables and structure, and want to import all the data in a 'mother' database (which i created with the same tables and structure).
I am using a sub that feeds a string to another public sub as follows:
Code:
Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
Dim strFolder As String 'source folder path for import
Dim strFile As String 'individual file path
strFolder = GetFolder(Environ$("USERPROFILE") & "Documenti")
If Len(strFolder) <= 1 Then Exit Sub

I want a string of code that allows me to import a series of delimited text files into access using VBA. I have the first bit of code down:
Code:

The text files hold data for a specific days work. Each day has its own text file. I would like to be able to import the text files within a specific date range, specified by the user. Below is the total code i have for my form button:
rivate Sub Command0_Click()
Dim startdate As String
Dim enddate As String
Dim currentdatex

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using Access to save an Excel file in a particular directory. The code was created about 10 years ago and hence saves the file with .xls extension and I would like to save with a .xlsm extension. If I just change the .xls to .xlsm, in the code below, the file is saved but the Compatibility Checker comes up (I would like to stop this) and when the file is reopened I get an error message stating there is a file extension problem and the file won't open.
Code:
strExt = ".xls"
'If .txtFriendlyName <> "" Then
' strDestFileName = .txtFriendlyName
'Else
' strDestFileName = Left(objFile.Name, Len(objFile.Name) - 4) & MakeFilePosfix(Now())

Is there a way of importing MS Excel Spreadsheets but starting from row 8. I am now getting lots of spreadsheets but i only need data from row 8. I have to manually delete the rows and save the spreadsheet then import. Some days i can have more then 1.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have files that have extension of TSV which are text files but viewable in exel. I figured out a way for the user to click on a button in Access which does the following
1. Run Macro in Excel: The macro prompts the user to select the TSV file. After selection, macro opens the employee.tsv file in the excel (with excel being invisible) and saves it as employee.xls
Code:
Sub SaveTSVtoXLS()
Dim myPath As String
Dim myString As Variant
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
[Code] .....
2. Imports the Excel file (employee.xls) into two tables: tblEmployee and tblDepartment using the following codes.
Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryDepartment", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:C2"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryEmployee", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:AE2"
Everything is working flawless except that the user has to select the file three times:
1 time for the tsv
2 times for the xls file
Is there a way that the user can select the file only once (tsv file) or at least only twice one of the tsv file and the other for the xls file?
I have a database which I've creating but now want to make others available to update - in the past this has not gone well! The database uses data from two excel sheets and the problem has been people do not always check if these have been updated today before running and therefore the database gets loaded with old data.I have found code that will check and display a message showing datelastmodified for a file but what i'm trying to find is code which will check both files' datelast modified, if they are modified today then run the update macro, if one or both are not modified today, then to display a message saying that the excel is not updated.

some code I've come up to in order to import multiple excel files each of them with a different number of worksheets into an access table. The procedure is called from an Access database. The problem I have with the code is that when it encounters a workbook with only one worksheets (e.g. Sheet 1) it gives the error that "Sheet 2$" is not a valid name. When geting to a workbook with 2 sheets it says that "Sheet 3$" is not a valid name and so on and so forth. Is there a way to "check" the number of sheets in the workbooks and when it has only one sheet to transfer it and go to the next file?
Below is the code:
Code:
Sub ImportExcelFiles()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename's
Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files
Dim filename As String

Hello,
I have a excel file which is a combination of to files (a .csv and txt) which I need to manipulate using access to get certain output. I created 2 tables for the 2 files in Access and then combined the 2 files by joining them on some common attributes.
Sample records from the excel file:
There are two fields..samaccountname and groupmembership which I need to display in a single line..
Accountname GroupMembership
trs 92 CN=US-HTSU Disable Mass Storage
Devices-S-D,OU=Call Centers,OU=Desktop
Access Groups,OU=US HTSU,OU=US
Groups,OU=US,DC=HNAH,DC=ADROOT,DC=HSBC
Wherever there is group membership, I want
that comma separate and parsed for a user in one line
'CN=US-HTSU Disable Mass Storage Devices-S-D,OU=Call Centers,OU=Desktop
Access Groups,OU=US HTSU,OU=US Groups,OU=US,DC=HNAH,DC=ADROOT,DC=HSBC
'CN=HNAH Generic Accounts-S-G,OU=Department Groups,OU=US HTSU,OU=US
Groups,OU=US,DC=HNAH,DC=ADROOT,DC=HSBC
I just need the following:
Tsr012,"US-HTSU Disable Mass Storage Devices-S-D,HNAH Generic Accounts-S-G"
Is there a command or way to do this in Access or even SQL Server?
Any help would be much appreciated..
Thanks!

I'm pretty new to Access and am trying to create an Asset database for our IT department. I'm trying to import a csv file that has all of our Android tablet information in it. One of the fields on this csv is "Office location" to let us know what office its currently at.I have a table already created for all of our offices called Offices.
All I'm trying to do is import the Android Tablet csv to create a new table called Tablets and have the "Office location" field from the csv link to the Office tables list of offices. I can import the csv file fine and have it create a new table called Tablets. The "Office location" field is just set to short text and isn't actually linked with the list of offices from the Office table.I tried linking them by changing the Office location field to lookup and pointing it to the Office tables field that has all of our offices locations, but receive an error. I'm guessing this isn't how I'd get this to link to the list of offices. I'm trying to have the Office locations field link to the list of locations automatically so that I don't have to create a new field and then make it a lookup field and manually change it for every Tablet that I have in the Tablets table.
Hi!
I'm trying to import csv files into an Access 97 database, but the filename is different each time otherwise I would just use a commandbutton with the transfertext macro.
I've been searching for help to browse to a file and keep coming back to the same few pages but not being a programmer I can't figure out how to use the code.
Can anyone help me with simple instructions on how to do this?
Thanks.

how do i Import the data from text files so that i can create the database structure?
for example i have 3 files called - data.txt, booking.txt and, other.txt and want them imported into access?
this is because these tables will be holding all the entities etc
Thanks in advance
All,
I have a database that I import text files to create tables. I ve been doing this awhile but now I have to pass it on to someone else to do and are trying to find a better way. this is what I've been doing: I import the text file into a new table. Then I copy and paste the data to the corresponding table. I know I can do an append query to do this but its about 12 text files I have to import into 12 different tables and I didn't want to take the time. I then run a query to combine and sum data from two different tables. The problem is that I have to copy and paste because if I import the text files directly into the corresponding table, the query don't run. I've tried change the field data type in the import wizard but it still doesn't work. My table datatype fields are: field1-text field2-number and field3-number. There is not field for number in the wizard but I use double as a field size in the design table so I select this in the wizard. I don't know how to resolve this other than spending time to create an append query or cut and paste. Please help
Thanks
Hello All
I have been trying to figure this problem out for a while now and was unable to get anywhere. What I am trying to do is I am trying to do a mass import of mulitple mdb files into just one mdb file. What I have right now is the following:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim InputDir, ImportFile As String, tblName As String
Dim InputMsg As String
InputMsg = "Type the pathname of the folder that contains "
InputMsg = InputMsg & "the files you want to import."
InputDir = InputBox(InputMsg)
ImportFile = Dir(InputDir & "*.dbf")
Do While Len(ImportFile) > 0
tblName = Left(ImportFile, (InStr(1, ImportFile, ".") - 1))
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "dBase III", InputDir, _
acTable, ImportFile, tblName
ImportFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub
What this does is that is when the user clicks on the button it asks the user for the file path name and uploads all the dbf files in that location. This works great for dbf files but when I change the code so that ImportFile = Dir(InputDir & "*.mdb") and DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft access", InputDir, _acTable, ImportFile, tblName so as to be able to do it for mdb files I get Run-time error '3051': The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file ams.mdb. It is already opened exclusively by another user or you need permission to view its data. I tried changin the access on the file and made sure that it was not read only but got the same result.. Can anyone please help me I would appreciate the help. Thanks

I'm importing .csv and .xls files into access using docmd.transferspreadsheet and it's simple enough except for a couple of issues I'm having:
1. The .csv file has leading ' and if I converti it .txt if has leading " in some of the columns .....what's the best way to get rid of these and is it better before or after the importing process.
2. a .xls file has a few rows of totals at the top so I need the importing to start at row A7 instead of A1...is there a way to control where it starts rather than manipulating the file prior to importing because it's all going to done by clicking a button on a form by user.
And there's a 3. one of the .xls has additional blank rows that it seems to import into the access table....what's th solution for that.
All the files will vary in number of records on a daily basis so I can't specify range like the DoCmd.
