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...

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 .

I have a table. Also i have a text file which some of the fields are matching with my table fields ( lets say field A and B ). Now, i need to do compare of these A & B of my table against A & B of the text file and give a result as follows;
1. "Field A" not in the table but in the text file (un-matching data to be shown )
2. "Field A" not in the text file but in the table (un-matching data to be shown )
3. "field B" mismatches

I'm trying to import a pipe delimited text file into a table. I can import the entire table using the following code, but I only get one column of data (the entire data set in one column). If possible I would like to import with the columns defined or if not possible use some code for a function similar to text to columns.
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "tblTest", "C:Work2015PPVMasterData.txt"

Is it possible to use find and replace to modify text in report design - or else is there something else I can do to get the same effect? I have a really useful report and I want to modify it for use with a different dataset. To do that I will need to change the text in over 150 text boxes. I have seven different fields which each occur over 20 times in the control source formulas in the text boxes, because they are used in different ways in different calculations. If this was excel I could do a simple find and replace to change e.g. every reference to fieldname OLD to fieldname NEW, but I cannot see how to do that within access report so am haveing to click on each text box in turn, go to properties and edit the text box .
I am trying to switch to a more general naming system in the modified report so then I will be able to assign data with the required fieldnames for the report within a query. But the report I am starting with has field names based on years 2013, 2014, 2015 etc.I want a quick way to change each reference to those field names to my more generic new field names.

I am trying to use a Connection to an xlsx spredsheet to read in a table of information (the data is not a table, just laid out in a table, see attached, the one I am trying to load is xlsx not xls but I cannot for some reson upload the xlsx one on here)
I have the following declared:
Code:
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
my connection string is:
Code:
strConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & cstrFolder &
Chr(92) & tempSymbol & ".xlsx;Extended Properties='Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES';"
I open the connection which works fine:
Code : cn.Open strConnectionString
Now here I hit the problem, I have the following SQL string:
Code : strSelect = "SELECT * from [table$]"
The spreadsheet contains just 1 tab, named table so I think I am referring to the data correctly in my SQL string?
When I open the recordet for variable rs using:
Code : rs.Open strSelect, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
I get the error dialogue box:
The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'table$'. make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.....
I did a Debug.print to check the strConnectionString was correct and the Source is exactly correct and refers to the name of the file I am trying to access exactly.

I am simply trying to find text on a Web Browser Control htm page.
Using MS Access 2003, I have a form that includes the activeX Web Browser Control. On load of the form I initialize the web like below:
Code:
Dim strURL As String
strURL = "http://www.justice.gov/eoir/profcond/chart.htm"
Me.WebBrowser0.Navigate strURL
Me.WebBrowser0.Silent = True
The page loads fine.
Now, also, on my form is an unbound text box I call: [txtFind] and a command button I call [cmdFind]. I want [cmdFind] to find the first occurrence of the value in [txtFind]. My code below doesn't do anything when I click the [cmdFind] button.
Code:
Public oRange As Object
Public myfindFirst As Boolean
Public intTextLength As Long
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
Dim sSearch As String
Dim strText As String
[Code] .....

I had the need every so often to quickly find all instances of any (particular) word within the database, without going to the bother of thinking about where that word/subject might be in the data base, I designed a report which does the job nicely. It uses a search form/control, searches and finds all instances of the word (or words) I have asked it to find, then does a report showing all instances of whatever RTF memo fields that contain the word(s).It has to be RTF memo field because (if I wish) it goes straight into the book text I'm writing, and also it searches the book's RTF memo field.
.
The trouble is, at present, I then have to manually "eye scan" the resulting report to find the occurrences of the "key searched for" word, nestling/hidden somewhere within sometimes quite large chunks of text. I would love to have the report show the found "key word(s)" highlighted in (say) light blue or whatever colour, so that I can quickly & easily lock on to it visually.
I enter the word I want Access to find, into a form called "formfindword" in a text box called Text0. I click on a command box on this form, to open up the report called "Querywhatsandhowschooseword" based on a query of the same name. The query's "what" field (from the main database) has the criteria
= Like "*" and [forms]![Formfindword]![Text0] & "*"
The query's "how" field criteria (in the "or" line of the query design) is also
= Like "*" & [forms]![Formfindword]![Text0] & "*"
I have tried to use the Conditional Format facility in Report Layout view, without any luck.I think therefore that I will need some VBA code (which is totally foreign to me, unfortunately) to make this simple concept a reality.

I am 2 years into my database. I am trying to find and open a folder based on a text box. The problem is folder could be in many sub folders which is hold on our J: drive.
To further complicate, the folder i am searching may not be exactly as the text box states.
EG. Text box could say 123456 however the folder could be called M123456 etc.
How do i locate a folder or subfolder and open it based on part of a text box...

I'm trying to find all the table names inside an external access file from a path.
I have a code for the user to select a file which return a patch to the file.
Then I need to find all the tables names from that file and append them to a list.
so I them can input them into a code and link the tables.
here is the code to get the file patch:
Code:

I need to find the respective numbers for a textstring when for
abcdefghijkl stand the numbers
79 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 91 92
The textstring to "decode" is for example is 'adgjk'
The result (79 83 86 89 91) should be added into a table by Looping.
rs.Addnew
rs("Letter")= myarray??
rs("corNumber")= myarray?
rs.update
rs.movenext
Something like this.
But I cannot define and Setup the Array, which should be the best way for doing this.
The Array does not change its Content nor its Dimension.
Both, letters and numbers are strings.

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.

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?

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()

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

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
strYear

I have created a form to send emails with attachments. The attachment path is specified in an unbound field which I have called [ToAttach] Rather than typing in the path, I want to use the browse function. I have inserted a browse button and can browse for the required file using following, but can't figure out how to place the file name in the unbound field as a string.
Code:
Dim f As Object
Set f = Application.FileDialog(3)
f.AllowMultiSelect = False

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")
[Code] .....

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.

I am not sure if this is possible or not, I am trying to export a large table that includes a text qualifier "". I have managed to change all the fields in the table to text. the problem id that I need to supply the data to an outside source that wants the qualifier to also be included for null fields (they receive other files not processed from Access with this included).
I was just after info about if it is possible or I am wasting time trying to come up with a solution (this will be done on a regular basis so I don't want to have to export the table to another software package to perform the task.
Thank you for any assistance.............

I'm trying to link a table to a massive 3GB text file so that I can generate a report. The text file is an exported Access query, so I can analyze the data in query form, BUT I'd like to analyze as a text file to confirm that nothing is altered during the export process. (e.g. Sometimes rounding errors can alter data, etc.)
Unfortunately, I'm getting an error saying that the text file is too big.

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
