Modules & VBA :: Transfer Spreadsheet To New Instance Of Excel
Dec 30, 2014
I just want to run a series of DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet commands to export several queries to one Excel Workbook with seperate sheet names for each query.
However my problem is I want this to be a new instance of Excel that the user will then SaveAs after it is complete. I don't want to save it to a specific path first because the Db is on a shared drive and My Documents will have a different path for each user based on their user name. (corporate environment)
There must be some way to just have it open a new workbook without saving isn't there??
I am extremely new to writing code, but was able to successfully write code that transfers the data in my form to and excel spreadsheet template and saves it with a different name. The code works perfect and without issue as long as Excel is not running. However if Excel is already open the template remains blank and a warning message appears saying that the form is locked for editing. Below is the code I used.
Private Sub ExcelClear_Click() Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlwrkBk As Excel.Workbook Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
I'm working with Access 2010 and am trying to use the transferspreadsheet command to output data in a query to an Excel 2010 format file. Here is the line of code:
It works fine and produces the output file but when I try and open it with Excel I get an error saying the format is incorrect. If I change the extension to .xls it opens with no problem but I need it to be an Excel 2010 format with correct extension.
From Here I want it to open the ".csv" that I chose (for some reason it doesn't now), Import to a table (I can do this part). Then export to the same location on the server with a different file name of my choosing and covert to .xlsx.
Dim fdlg As FileDialog: Set fdlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) Do With fdlg .AllowMultiSelect = False .Title = "Select File to Import" .Filters.Clear .Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*", 1
I am trying to use transferspreadsheet to import access worksheet and then I want to append additional fields. I am able to import the excel sheet into access, but need appending the other fields.
Code:
Dim fd2 As FileDialog Dim xlapp As New Excel.Application Dim xlsht As Excel.Worksheet Dim xlWrkBk As Excel.Workbook Dim db As DAO.Database Dim tb2 As TableDef Dim fdx, fld As DAO.Field
I know its not possible. But Just wanted to confirm. Not at all possible?
Code:
Function PreImport(BookToImport As Workbook) For Each cell In BookToImport.Sheets(1).Rows(1).Cells cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value) Next cell BookToImport.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Rows(1).Replace ".", "_" End Function
I have two problems excel instance does not close at the end and two when I try to do the looking using text it works but soon as I try using date/time it returns nothing.
Code: Private Sub Command84_Click() Dim objExcel As Excel.Application On Error Resume Next
my code does the following, user selects excel file, opens it, renames sheets, basically needs first sheet to be sheet1. rest don't matter Changes the formats in column a to number and 15dp, saves the file as .xls and then links the file to the database.
Code: Private Sub Command288_Click() Dim s As String Dim i As Long
Everyday I have to generate a report in excel format and I need it to be added to ms access database. I was hoping to do this on a click of a button. Basically, since i have a new data everyday it should be added to the table.
I've got a table with data about a contract. Each contract has his own ID. For each contract i have Information from SAP, Information from a System called geris and a System called pauschale. No I would like to Export that to Excel. With VBA, I would like to transfer the data for each ID to each spreadsheet.
I have a database scheduled to run nightly. In this database I have a macro that runs a macro. I want one of the arguments to export "T_Update_Log" from the database to an excel file as part of it's nightly macro. When I use "Transfer Spreadsheet" in my macro, it creates a new worksheet in my excel file each night (for example: T_Update_Log1, T_Update_Log2, etc) Instead, I want it to overwrite existing one.
I have also tried "Export" command, but that throws a prompt asking if I want to overwrite the existing excel file. I cannot have any message prompts during my nightly task or else it will stop the whole process. Setting the Warnings to No does not stop this particular message prompt.
If I create a macro with a single entry consisting of Transferspreadsheet from a single Access table to Excel it exports perfectly. When I call Transferspreadsheet from VBA code it moves some of the data and puts them into seemingly random Excel spreadsheet columns why is this?
This issue first came about when we had to export a table with more than 65,000 records in and so I export using a table name "Sheet1" , "Sheet2" as needed but surely the table name that it comes from makes no odds?
to export a query to a spreadsheet. I am using this method as it seems to solve the problem of memo fields being truncated.
It seems however that using this method if the spreadsheet file already exists (and is of a differant structure) nothing happens and no error is thrown.
I am trying to format a spreadsheet to import into a Table. To do this I need to delete the top 8 rows and then the 4 rows below the data I need, both areas contain header data. The 4 rows below the data I need are blank but formatted oddly and it is causing issues during import.
Code: Sub ExcelFormat() Dim excelApp As Object Set excelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") excelApp.worbooks.Open ("Z:DataTest.xlsx") End Sub
I developed a db on a local verison of Access 2003 (saved in Access 2000 format). It works great thanks to much help from this forum.
I recently moved the db to a server and tested how it worked when using Access 2000 on a citrix platform. This is important since the users of the db will be using this accursed platform. A few things (vba functions) broke but I deleted the affected code. However, one thing 'broke' that I can't eliminate.
When I click a button on one form I have a transfer spreadsheet command run to export the output of a query to a particular xls file/location. However, in the citrix environment I get an error message "Formats that enable export as html, xls, or rtf are missing from the windows registry".
I'm guessing this has something to do with the citrix server setup. Is there anything I can do on my end to avoid this problem or, as I fear, am I stuffed?
what the difference between the two variations of using the New keyword to create a new instance and using the Set. I mean Code 1 would always be better because you dont have to ever use the Set keyword
1.Code: Dim wb As New Excel.Workbook
2.Code: Dim wb As Excel.Workbook Set wb = New Excel.Workbook
Are there benefits and cons to both i.e. memory allocation etc..
How to set focus to a non Default instance of a form.
Environment A2007 ADP Project Document Window Option - Tabbed Documents MS SQL 2012 Express DB Windows 7 64 Bit
I using Allen Browne's method to open more that one version of form, storing each form object in a collection declared in a module. No problem there.
Now I'm trying to add a command button on an form to set focus to one of these non-default instances already open.
The form I am trying to set focus to has a the following related properties
Default View: Split Form Pop-up: No Modal: No
The form that has the command button on it is of the same type.
Here is the code I've tried:
'Code on Calling Form Private Sub cmdProjectList_Click() Dim FunctionResult As Boolean
If AppForms.GoToForm("ProjectList") = False Then AppForms.Load_ProjectList
[Code] .....
The code compiles and executes with seemingly no problems. It finds the form loaded, then cycles though and finds the form in Forms but the SetFocus call seems to do nothing. When I run the code against a defualt instance ( one not opened using Allen Browne's method) it works fine and sets focus to it as expected.
I am trying to update a recordset using VBA based on the max "process instance" from another table. After the code executes, the field I am updating is still blank.
Code: Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("myTable", dbOpenDynaset) If Not (rs.BOF And rs.EOF) Then rs.MoveFirst Do Until rs.EOF = True emplid = rs![Employee Number]
Just a quick question to see if something is possible or not.
Basically i have a form which the users record errors which have happened with deliveries of our product and have to select the reason why this happened. What i have been asked to do is when the users are entering the reason 'incorrect address', they want to be able to click on a button and everything which they have entered for that record are appended to an excel spreadsheet. The are currently entering it twice...once in my database and once in a spreadsheet and they just want to reduce their workload.
This transfer of data is only needed when that specific reason is chosen from my combo box, no other reason. I don't have much knowledge of Excel, i was just wondering if this type of thing wa possible and if anyone could put me in the right direction. I have had a search for my problem, but havn't found anything similar to my pro. yet.
Hello - just joined today. I hope to be of some help to other users, but am kind of a newbie.
I have an excel ss that I regularly receive which needs to go into my access DB. I set up a macro with transferspreadsheet and that works, except for one problem. I have one field which is designed as text but has data that looks like numbers as well as data that looks like text. When I run the macro, the number-like data doesn't import as text (23602012345 imports as 2.3602e+010). FYI the field in access is already defined as text. Each time I import a ss, I am appending to the existing data in the table
I have tried formatting the excel column as text with no luck. If I remove the data that truly is text in that column (ABC1287567) and leave just the 236* data, and then format the excel column as text, it seems to work fine. It just doesn't like the mixing of the data...at least it seems to me.
Any ideas to avoid manual manipulation of my excel ss before running the macro would be very helpful.
I'm trying to import an excel spreadsheet into an access table. The excell spreadsheet was created using the access table( by using the 'analyze using excel' feature)
The problem is that I cannot import the updated excell spreadsheet. I get the error message.." An error occured while trying to import the file..the file was not imported"
Anyone out there have any ideas on how to Import an Excel File (SPECIFIC worksheet) to an Access Database
I am looking to do this at the click of a button or when the database opens...
What I really want to do is...... Is there a way to import this into an already existing table. Delete the existing records and import the new records from the Excel Spreadsheet?
