Modules & VBA :: Searching In Text File For All Instances Of ID?

Mar 17, 2015

I have a text file that cannot be imported and turned into a table because it has no line feed characters and is therefore well over 255 columns. The fields are delimited by commas, however.

How can I search this file for all instances of "{id" and then grab the next 10 characters to the right and store them somewhere?

Modules & VBA :: Searching Subfolders To Open Files Using File Names

May 19, 2015

I am using Access 2010 with Win-7.Shared, split database with several users.Database Purpose:PM Procedure for Medical Equipment..To be able for the user to copy the file name of 1 or more technical manuals and paste into a table used for a subform on the procedure parent form.Users can then open the related files stored in a common directory that are related to the procedure when later reviewing the procedure .

Problem:File path on the common drive for our group remains static Syspro_5VOL1BIOMEDCOMMONEquipment (Service Manual).The subfolders are not static.There is an unlimited number of sub folders by vendor, model, or make.The subfolders sometimes get renamed as vendors change ownership.The file itself usually does not get renamed.New subfolders get added as needed.Everyone in our group has access to this area of the server.

Question:Is there a way in VBA that when a user opens the procedure record form and dbl-clicks the name of the file in the subform, Access can start at the parent folder and keep searching through all the subfolders until it finds the file?I cannot depend on people in my group to be able to correctly update hyperlinks so I need a way people with no Access knowledge can even use even if its a little slow.

Modules & VBA :: Text File Split Into Table - Find Text In Recordset

Sep 5, 2013

I have some vba where I'm importing a text file and splitting it out into a table. For the most part its working just fine.

But I have a line of data that I need to pull out the string right after "Old" - Murphy and right after "New" ZMurphy

Acc# : 111111 This is test data, Person : 22222 Old Murphy New ZMurphy

I'm thinking Instr() could do this but I'm unable to get it to work.

I am using Access 2010...

Modules & VBA :: How To Append Text To A Text File With The Print Statement

Jun 5, 2013

I'm trying to figure out at what point an error message occurs while a database is closing. This problem only occurs if someone clicks on the red close button on the top right of the screen when there are several forms open. If the user exists normally there is NO problem.

I am attempting to use the print statement to write to a text file to track what is happening as the database shuts down. Unfortunately, the open (print) statement, when issued, zaps any prior contents which precludes having a full printed record. I am hoping for a print syntax that would allow appending.

Code:
Open "ErrorReport.txt" for Output as #1
Appended text to the file to show what is happening in that event.
Close #1

The program, in closing, does stop with an error message that a certain file can't be found. But when I click on debug, the program simply closes. I have also commented out VBA references to the file that can't be found, but the error still persists .

Modules & VBA :: Leaving Open Instances Of Excel After SaveAs

Nov 4, 2013

I have some code that opens and populates an Excel spreadsheets then does a save as to a specific directory and also outputs a PDF. This code is working with one small problem, I am leaving the first instance of Excel open and can't figure out where I should put the code for it to quit. Here is my code:

Code:
' This code creates a recordset based on the current reservation in order to gather data on
' a specific reservation, to output to a payment schedule excel spreadsheet which calculates
' Payment dates and amounts for specific reservations
' Declare variables for recordset
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database

Totals From Instances (not Of Instances)

Jul 21, 2006

I've come across an interesting problem a colleague has been trying to solve and even though I can 'see' what needs to be done and could probably program it on our mainframe, I'm really stuck on how to achieve the same results in MS Access

I'll do my best to explain the problem by showing an example of how the data exists in the DB and also how it 'should' be output on a report.

DATE OPERATOR COUNT

29/06/06 - Oper A - 32
29/06/06 - Oper B - 12
29/06/06 - Oper A - 10
29/06/06 - Oper C - 13
29/06/06 - Oper B - 10

The output needed however should read as follows

29/06/06 - Oper A - 42
29/06/06 - Oper B - 22
29/06/06 - Oper C - 13

Setting up a date selection shouldn't be a problem, its just adding the totals on each instance of each operator into one figure without ending up with a total of the number of times an operator appears on a date.

Any help and guidance about how best to approach this problem (macro/query/script) would be appreciated.

Modules & VBA :: Info From Linked Text File

Aug 11, 2014

I have a linked *.txt file and a qwery that returns the top 1 record from it. (The ideea is to check a value from one column of the file).Both the linked file/table and the query run corectly,I have a vba code on the on open of a form that is checking the query above mentioned (the form is on the Startup option of the database) and when I need to use the Dcount of the Query "

Code:

DCnt = DCount("Den_Fis", "Data_R_Mod_U$G9707014")

I get the "Runtime error 3625: the text file specification..." doesn't exist etc.I pres debug and test the query, I get the "Unknown Jet Error".I press Stop in the VBA and open the Qry - it shows what is was ment to show.I know the workaround is to make a maketable with the needed info and the Dcount on the local table, but it would add one query and one table to the database.

Modules & VBA :: Access - Read From Text File

Nov 5, 2013

I have a text file that I am using VBA to read and print 2 pieces of data to another text file.The code works to a point, in some instances it does not appear to find the end of file but captures and writes all the data. Or, after printing 36 lines correctly, it then stops writing.

I have stepped through the code and it appears to be capturing the data up past this issue but for what ever reason it does not print it to my text file.

PHP Code:

Option Compare DatabaseOption Explicit    Public Mode As String    Public FUNDREF As String    
Public rst As String Function DAILYAUDITTRAIL()     Close #1    Close #2      Open "C:UsersTEST IN.TXT" For Input As #1    
Open "C:UsersTEST OUT.txt" For Output As # 2      Do While Not EOF(1)     
Line Input #1, rst     If rst Like "KM56Aasdf*" Then        FUNDFINDER    
End If     Loop  End FunctionFunction FUNDFINDER()

Modules & VBA :: Import Complex Text File Into Access

Jul 19, 2014

They are receiving e-mail with some data that they want to transfer to access database to track. The one think they can do is copy past, copy paste. That is a lot of data to copy and paste. The date looks like this format

Field1
Text1

Field2
Text2 (text2 can be more than 255 char)

Field3
Text3 (text3 can be more than 255 char)

Field4
Text4

Field1
Text1

Field2
Text2 (text2 can be more than 255 char)

Field3
Text3 (text3 can be more than 255 char)

Field4
Text4

and so on.. It can be 50 records

I am thinking they can copy this to the text file. Then the code form Access grabs the text file and imports to access table with format below.

Field1 Fied2 Field3 Field4
Text1 Text2 Text3 Text4

Modules & VBA :: Extract Specific Data From A Text File

Dec 4, 2013

I want to extract specific data from a text file and place it in my table.The following is an example of the data:

Display Author="All Saints" Title="On & On" Genre="Pop" Color="7693971" Tag="2"

I want to extract the following:

Where the word Author= appears to extract the data between the double quotes, so in the above case I want to extract "All Saints" excluding the double quotes.And then where Title= appears extract "On & On", again excluding the double quotes.So I would end up with data in my table looking something like this

strArtist [Author] strSong [Title] strGenre [Genre] strYear [Year]
All Saints On & On Pop
America Venture Highway Rock 1972
Amillionsons Misty Blue Pop 2002

my table is name tblMusicList, the fields are:

strArtist
strSong
strGenre

Modules & VBA :: Using FSO To Write To Text File - Avoiding Conflicts

May 21, 2015

I have a function to write some data to a text file (as an activity log, separate to the live data contained in the DB)

It uses the FileSystemObject.OpenTextFile method and works fine

However, I'm conscious that, although perhaps unlikely, there is the possibility (which is enough for me to worry about it) that multiple users could trigger the function simultaneously, which could cause a conflict when multiple FE's try to write to the same log file at the same time.

So I'm trying to add some code to prevent this from happening, by checking if write-access is available before proceeding.

Below is the piece of code I've added. Was considering, as an alternative, looping until the objFile is no longer Nothing, rather than depending on the Err.Number?

Code:
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFile As Object
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
...
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Modules & VBA :: Writing To Text File With Line Feeds

Jun 22, 2015

I have a function which takes a recordset and writes the contents to a text file. One of the fields in the recordset is a free format text field, the contents of which originate from a text box on a form. Occasionally, a user can hit the 'Enter' key to add a new line (carriage return) to the note within the text box.

The problem is, when the output text file is subsequently imported to Excel, the carriage returns within that text field serve to move the next piece of data to the next row (even though the CR is within the double-quote text-qualifier in the text file)I want line breaks within the text field to be retained within the cell.

One option would very simply be to replace the carriage returns with simple spaces in the write function. I could do that quite easily. However, I would prefer to retain whatever the user has entered into the text box, including line breaks, if at all possible?So if the user broke his free format 'note' into multiple lines (for whatever reason), it would similarly appear as multiple lines in the same cell (and in the same row / record) in the Excel worksheet.

I could replace the carriage return with some obscure character during the write, then switch it back during the Excel import, but that seems a little clunky (plus Murphy's Law dictates that no matter how obscure a character I choose, somebody, at some point, will genuinely use it, and it will get switched out. Which means I'd have to use a non-printing character?could I simply replace the carriage return with a line feed? (Or is it the other way around? I always get carriage returns and line feeds mixed up!)there's a simple way around this but I always get confused as to precisely which ASCII character the 'Enter' key produces when keying into a text box.

Modules & VBA :: Auto-export Query Record / Row To Text File

Oct 24, 2013

I have 3 queries that provide the same printer information. Each one is queried by a different field: IP address, asset tag, and serial number. This may not mean anything in the long run, though I figured it is worth mentioning.

The users need to be able to quickly query a printer utilizing one of those criteria and then copy and paste it into our ticketing system. Is there a way to automatically export the record from the query to a text file? I have extensively searched online and have tried to come up with something but I have found that I don't know where to start. This is the code for the query:

Code:
Dim intCount As Integer
intCount = 0
If DCount("Location", "Phone numbers Query") > 0 Then
intCount = intCount + 1
DoCmd.OpenQuery "", acViewNormal, acReadOnly

Modules & VBA :: Allow A User To Navigate To A Text File And Import It To A Database

Aug 19, 2013

We have a function that will allow a user to navigate to a text file and import it to a database. I've been asked to make it import ALL the text files from all sub-directories in the directory IF they've never been imported before (based on FileName and LastModifiedDate). I've set up a table to track what's getting imported (tbl_ImportHistory). I'm thinking what I need to do is use the previous coder's GetFileName function in a recursive loop removing the navigation request and adding the comparison and then, if it imports the file, the name and date need to be added to the tbl_ImportHistory table. But I'm completely unsure of how to do it.

I'm posting the GetFileName function below. I believe once I've got it modified the rest of the code can be left intact as it just parse's and loads whatever file is selected in the GetFileName function.

<code>
Function GetFileName() As String
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
fd.AllowMultiSelect = False
Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant

Searching Through A Text Box

Dec 11, 2006

Hi All,

I have a small yet important question to ask. I have a text box on a form, that text box accepts a product number that the user wants to modify. I want to be able to do the following:

- If the product number does not exist, prompt with an error message (this part is not a problem).
- If the product number does exist, populate the text boxes on the form with the respective data. ex: Product number 512547. Does exist, hence: (TB = textbox)
Prd. No.TB = 512547
Rec'd Date.TB = 10/10/2006
Comments.TB= blah blah blah, etc.
I am simply trying to pull information from a table into text boxes on a form using a text box.

THANKS A MILLION!
