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?
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. Anna.:confused:
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
I need some help. I am writing a database for my new and small company. I receive internet orders from my ISP in an email. I want to find a simple way of automatically importing these emails into my "Customer Information" table.
The issue is that I have no control on the format of the email I receive from my ISP. The data is fixed width and stores the information horizontally rather than in columns. For example:
I have been exploring the GetData option and using the advance settings to align fields. It seems (and I am not an expert user of Access) that the GetData function relies on the import source to be aligned in vertical columns rather than horizontally. This makes mapping the fields almost impossible.
Does anyone have a clever work-around? Either in Access or manipulating the data before it goes into the database?
I imported a table into Access from a SAP generated text file. The integrity of the data is fine after import. I then created a new table from the original that has the exact same amount of records and has the same unique field, which is MATERIAL. The problem I have is when I join the two tables in a query, Access returns approx 140,000 records. I am doing a regular join, what could be the problem? Is it possible the table data types are not formated correctly, b.c I imported them all as text so Access would import all lines.
Im trying to work with access 97, to import a text file into access. All the books i have looked in and web pages found say, file - get external data - import, then in "files of type" drop down you can select text.
I dont have the option to do this.
I have Uninstalled office 97, reinstalled it. with all the extras. I have gone into the help and added all the valupack but still nothing.
I have a text file that details every single incident that happened in the system. This means that it is extremely messy and non-comprehensible to a normal person due to the use of codewords and all.
Is it possible to scan through the document and insert the data into access, such that the different keywords are put as seperate events?
Ps, the number of characters between each event and data may not always be the same, so seperating them by that is not the way to do it. However, when I open the file in notepad++, I can confirm that each event is 6 lines.
E.g. Line 1 = Event timestamp, Line 2 = Event Name, Line 3 = Acknowledged or not, Line 4 = Acknowledged by who, Line 5 = Event Details, Line 6 = Application Owner.
Basically, the 6 lines are the 6 columns that I would need in my table. So, is it possible to separate out and read every 6 lines of data in the text file?
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.
Hi, I’m trying to Import an external CSV file in to Access and then Update/Add the record into a table. I need to be able to do it using SQL and I’m not allowed to touch RecordSet! Does anyone know How I could do this or where I would be able to find help on this.
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.
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 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 some code that filters job raised I have 2 text box's txtdatestart and txtenddate after entering. date range between the too text boxs it shows me all job raised with in the period.i have entered what I would like is filter it again by client field using combo box cboclient so if the user enter's client name in cboclient combo box and date range in txtdatestart and txtenddate it will only show jobs raised with in the date range of the client enter in the combo box but if the combo box is empty show.
Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click() 'On Error GoTo Err_Handler 'Remove the single quote from start of this line once you have it working. Dim strReport As String Dim strDateField As String Dim strWhere As String Dim lngView As Long Const strcJetDate = "#mm/dd/yyyy#" 'Do NOT change it to match your local settings.
I am importing a field from and old DOS based data base where dates and text are mixed in the same field. The field can have either one of more dates or text. That is the possible entries in the field are:
(1) 12/12/2013 (2) 12/12/2013, 12/1/2013 or some other delimiter other than a comma (3) 6 CDs
When I tried to import the field, I am finding that (1) results in a string of numbers which represents the date. The others are, of course, OK.What I am trying to figure out is if the first type occurs and I have 41640 it will appear as 01/01/2014. So, can you have mixed field types in the same field by using some custom formatting with an if (of Iif) statement and what would that be? Something like IIF(IsDate([FieldA], format([FieldA], short date), @) I just cant seem to get the right nomenclature or number of correct arguments.
When I did the first import I did it by doing an import text file, located the file 1.txt. The Import Text Wizard opened and I picked Fixed With so I could break out the information myself.After dividing that information I hit advanced and changed the field name to match what they should be. Next, then it ask me to save Import Steps and I said yes.
First: how I can use the saved import to import this file again using the text wizard Second: how can I set it so it imports a numbers of files, maybe one or maybe all 30? Third: how difficult would it be to all the file name in the first or last column?
I m trying to make form which filters my records and generates a report..here's where I am
Code: Like "*" Or Between [Forms]![Form1]![Text6] And [Forms]![Form1]![Text8] & "*"
but this doesn't work I would like to show all records if textbox 6 is null and textbox8 is null this part of code works perfect but below but I'm struggling to get the between in with the code
I am having some difficulties with a Date/Time Field. I am importing a | delimted text file into a table and the Date Field is resulting in a Type Conversion Error.In the raw text file, the Date Field has the following Format (example): 01/03/2013 03:11 PM
My import Spec is as follows: File Format: Delimited Field Delimter: | Language: English
[code]....
The only thing I can think of, is that the mix of Leading Zeros in the Time AND AM/PM is causing a problem. But, I do not see a way to address this with an import spec.The odd thing is that if I import the DateOpened Field as Text, THEN change the DataType to Date/Time AFTER import, then save the table, it recognized/converts the DateOpened Fields correctly.I'd LIKE to get the import spec correct (I have to update twice daily), But, barring that, if I could import as Text then build a Macro that would:
1) import text file(s) 2) change certain fields datatypes to Date/Time 3) Save Table(s)
That would suffice. I could then use VBS (and perhaps windows scheduler) to run the macro when needed.
I want to select a date range from "Production" table where it agrees to the Dept_ID too. And then calculate the summation of the columns "hours", "produced" & "waste" of that particular range selection.
This is my code:
Code: Option Compare Database Private Sub cmdCal_Click() Dim sql As String Dim rs As Recordset Dim qdef As DAO.QueryDef Dim hours, waste, produced As Integer
[code]....
But it returns nothing, When i remove the errorHandler, it says that no records were found.
I have a multiselect listbox and two date fields (StartDate & EndDate) in an Access form.I am trying to add records to the Table through the form on a button click.I select multiple items from the list box and the date range between the start date and end date will be equal to the items selected from listbox.For each item selected from the list box I need to add a separate record with a date.So the first record will have List box item selected1 and the start date.Next record will have item 2 from list box and date as dateadd("d",startdate,1)And final record will have last item selected from the listbox and date as enddate.
