Modules & VBA :: Importing / Parsing From PDF Into Table
Aug 27, 2014
We publish a PDF file every week full of taskings that our subordinate organizations need to accomplish for the following week. I would like to have parse the PDF and store the data in a table. I think the only way to start this operation is to first save the PDF to Text (Plain) as this create some way to delimit and parse the data. So, once it's saved as a txt file, it basically looks something like this:
Code:
//
Column 1 Data/StuffIDontCareAbout/
StuffIDontCareAbout/StuffIDontCareAbout//Column 2 Data
StuffIDontCareAbout/StuffIDontCareAbout/
Column 3 Data
[Code] ....
...and so on and so forth anywhere between 50-100 more times
The entire text file will always start and end with "//" at the top and bottom. You also see that each tasking paragraph (starting with "Column 1 Data" and ending with "Column 3 Data") is preceded by a "//" on its own line, and also followed by a "//" on its own line. The text file will always look exactly like this with each tasking paragraph having the same number of forward slashes.
Column 1 Data always starts on a new line under "//" and runs until the first "/" (single forward slash).
Column 2 Data always starts after the "//" on the 2nd paragraph line and runs until the end of the paragraph line
Column 3 Data always starts on the 4th paragraph line and runs until the end of the paragraph line
Here's a quick example of what I'm talking about:
Code:
//
37 NOS001/DCO/
TaskPer/TBD//310001ZAUG2014-292359ZSEP2014
GenText/Remarks/
(U/FOUO) This will contain the actual task description and details. You can see that "(U/FOUO)" contains a forward slash.
[Code] ....
So after it's parsed, my table would have the following new rows:
Code:
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3
37 NOS001 |310001ZAUG2014-292|(U/FOUO) This will contain
582 NOS012 |280001ZAUG2014-022|(U/FOUO) This another task

I am having a problem with parsing the array value to Forms!<arraryvaluehere>.dirty.
Please see the code below:
Public strListOfForms(0 To 2) As String
strListOfForms(0) = "frmForm1"
strListOfForms(1) = "frmForm2"
strListOfForms(2) = "frmForm3"
For i = 0 To 2
Debug.Print CurrentProject.AllForms(strListOfForms(i)).IsLoaded
Debug.Print Forms!strListOfForms(i).Dirty
Next i
Note: CurrentProject.AllForms(strListOfForms(i)).IsLoade d works and Forms!strListOfForms(i).Dirty does not.
Is this because it is taking "strListOfForms(i)" literally? Is there a way that I can get around this?

how to import a table using VBA like so:
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim dr As String
dr = Dir("F:SomeFolder*.mdb", vbDirectory)
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft Access", "F:SomeFolder" & dr, acTable, "Table", "Table2"
End Sub
This was just a test to see if I could get an import to work. My problem is that I have a lot of .mdb/.accdb files with similar tables that I need to add into one larger database and these similar tables could have different names in different folders. For example, a file named db1.mdb has a table named tbl. Another file named db2.mdb has a table with all of the same fields, but its called tabX. Furthermore, db2.mdb could even contain a second table that I need to import.
My question is:
Is there a way to simply import all the tables from an access database without knowing any table names using VBA?

I'm trying to parse the following into an Array by splitting the csv file using a "," comma separator. There should be 63 different data pieces in this File. When I do a count of them from the (ubound array) i only get 54. The last data piece on each row gets concatenated to the first data piece of the next line. Is there a way to stop this from happening? This is causing problems with working with the data.

I am importing csv files into tables in a batch routine and I get the following error messages. The error number is always 2391.
Field 'F1' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
Field 'F4' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
Field 'F36' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
I understand the first one and can find references to this on the web but the F4 and F36 escape me.
All fields required do actually exist in the table so the real problem is elsewhere.
P.S. I now think that it may be that there are embedded commas in one or more of the text fields and that the number following the 'F' indicates the position of the field in the table. I will check in the morning or create the csv files using commas and quotes.

I am running this code to import an Excel sheet into a table in my database. This works fine if I set [HasFieldNames] to false. When [HasFieldNames] is set to true, I get the correct field names in the table, but don't get any data from the sheet.

what is the best way to import the data from the XML file into an access database table. The database I am working with has one large main table where all of the main record data is stored. There is a somewhat complex string of queries and reports based off this table that I am concerned about preserving. The problem is that the XML file is not structured in the same way the table is. The headings are named different, aren't in the same order, etc. I cannot use the import method and simply append it to the main table.After much searching around I have found two options:
1) Use the built in XML import method that access provides to create a secondary table. Then find a way to take data from individual fields in the second table and map and insert it into a new record in the main table.I already have the import part of this option working. The only part I can't seem to understand is how to take data from the second table and get it into a new record in the main table under the correct headings
2) Read the data from the XML file all at once and then map and insert it into the main table.I have not attempted this yet. I was having a hard time understanding how to retrieve the data from the XML file in the first place.
So.. which would be better/easiest to automate (most likely via button click on a form)? I only have a small understanding of VBA and even less understanding of anything XML.

I currently use the following to import a csv file into a staging table and then append and save the data to a table - however it doesnt use the headings from the csv file and creates an error table and a blank record where the headings should be apart from one column where it copies the name.
Would it be possible to use the headings as field names or just omit them completely and use the standard f1 f2 f3 etc access generates in the tmp table?
Code:
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.Title = "Select the CSV file to import"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "CSV Files", "*.csv", 1
.Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*", 2
[Code] ....

I have a database with existing tables.I now want to add a whole bunch of records into my access tables.A lot of the data is repeated, and lends itself to my doing it in excel with it's better copy and paste abilities, and it's ability to easily increment alphanumeric fields.I can't seem to succeed in append importing to the bottom of my access table from my excel spreadsheet. All columns are the same.Can this be done, and if so how please?I'm on XP Pro with Office 2003 Pro.I'm also very much a newbie in Access.

I have to import a file from an external website into a table (tableA) that I have established. The issue is that I don't need all that data, just specific ones (the website does not allow me to select the specific data to export). I created another table (tableB) to capture the data that I require for my report.
How do I take raw data from tableA to append to tableB the required fields that I want?

Option Compare Database
Dim myCheck
Function MeridianLinkFileImport()
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tbl_MeridianLinkFileImport", "R:DEPT-BRCONSUMER LENDINGMarketing Campaigns2014 Auto Loan PrescreenReport from LoansPQ.xls", True, "Sheet1!A3:AO50000"
End Function
If there is no extention, it is importing fine... 85086 works fine but 85018-4710 doesn't import.
The field is a Short Text data type.

I am using the following statement in an update query (which by the way I found in this forum) to pull out the first name from the FirstName field. The field could have a first name or a first name and a middle initial. If the field has a first name and niddle intital: John P then I get John. If the field only has a first name, I get #Error in the update field. I have thousands of records to move to a new Oracle table which has a first name field and a middle intial field.
FNAME: IIf([FirstName] Is Null," ",Left([FirstName],InStr(1,[FirstName]," ")-1))
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You:confused:
