creating auto number field in access database. I have an access database which 20 million records. When i am trying to add auto number field i am getting error "File sharing lock count exceeded".Then i did some google search and got some information like editing the registry file , in my case its not possible due to security restrictions.And another option of adding a code in VB immediate window also i tried but this option is also not working.
I am writing some vba code in mymacros.mdb to try and export a table from otherdb to excel. I do this becuase there is a new copy of otherdb created on a daily basis.
I have tried using docmd.output and docmd.transferspreadsheet to achieve this but dont know how to specify that the table I am exporting is in the otherdb.mdb file.
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 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.
I have files that have extension of TSV which are text files but viewable in exel. I figured out a way for the user to click on a button in Access which does the following
1. Run Macro in Excel: The macro prompts the user to select the TSV file. After selection, macro opens the employee.tsv file in the excel (with excel being invisible) and saves it as employee.xls
Code: Sub SaveTSVtoXLS() Dim myPath As String Dim myString As Variant Application.DisplayAlerts = False With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
[Code] .....
2. Imports the Excel file (employee.xls) into two tables: tblEmployee and tblDepartment using the following codes.
Some vba code which is able to get the last updated or last modified value of an excel file stored in a folder in a shared drive and update a field on a form in ms access.
I have an access database that is used to store records of requests for for items. Example, ID, WhoRequested, CustomerName, Date, address, phone, WhatRequested, amt. I take this data and export it to an excel spreadsheet and send to another area for processing.
I then get the sheet back with the orderdate, ordernumber, and shippingnumber. I need to update the original table with this new information. it is not bad when there is only a few, but Ihave had 100 or so lately, and updating each record manually is time consuming.
Function SyncSuppliers() On Error GoTo errhandle Filename = DLookup("SupplierPath", "Setup", "SetupActive = True") If Filename = "" Then Exit Function End If Set xlapp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
[code]....
The 5th row is where the problem is abbot and co will import n stop missing out the brackets (I need all the data). same for the last row A-BELCO LTD will import (HADAR LIGHTING) does not.
I have a table (tbloutput) which has details of customers and which staff they have been contacted by.
What i want to do is, export the details from this table into an excel sheet using a template that i have set.
What i want to do is create multiple excel outputs using this template depending on the name of the staff. So each staff will have a seperate workbook which was created using that template. And i also want the new workbook to be named for that staff member.
So in short
Table exported to excel workbook and excel workbook named : Blabla staffname.xlsm
Two Solutions to address moving an Access Memo field into Excel when string has > 255 characters. All my 'reports' use Excel VBA (Access Reports are not used). The Excel reports can have 40,000 records. Speed to create the report can be an issue.
Describing 2 Solutions below to address moving Access memo fields with > 255 characters into Excel.After running this code
Code: 720 ObjXL.DisplayAlerts = False ObjXL.Columns("X:X").Select ObjXL.Selection.NumberFormat = "@" ' set column to Text 730 ObjXL.Worksheets(intWorksheetNum).Cells(intRowPos, 1).CopyFromRecordset rsNutsAndBolts
The Comments column are limited to 255 characters. So, the CopyFromRecordset (recordsetvariable) creates the 255 character limitation.
The reason? The 255 character limit is because CopyFromRecordset sutomatically uses the Characters property of the Range object. The 255 limit would not be there if the Cell Value property is used to assign the string to that cell.
Dim sRx as String ' String Prescription sRx = "String with > 255 characters ... you fill in the rest ...." Cells(1, 1).Value = sRx ' Cell's Value property assignment can be very large
Solution 1:
The record set is still in memory. By using a loop, a cursor can start with record 1 (memo column) and assign that value to the Excel row / column using the .value as shown above. Basically, this moves one memo field at a time, record by record. e.g. Read First recordset in Access, copy to variable, assign value to Excel row/column Then move next on each Access and Excel.
Solution 2:
An Access Memo filed [RxNotes] can have up to 750 characters. Cut it apart into three new fields that end up out in the very right Excel columns AA, AB, AC.
Note1=Mid([RxNotes],1,250) Note2=Mid([RxNotes],251,250) Note3=Mid([RxNotes],501,250) Then using Excel Object - Concat the cells back cell by cell... X2=CONCATENATE(AA2,AB2,AC2))
Then delete the columns AA, AB, AC to hide the evidence..Neither solution is all that elequent. Read about this and by golly, it made a difference
ConcatComments = "'" & CommentString
Before using the CopyFromRecordset be sure to add a single quote in front of the large string.
Turns out the interface between Access and Excel look for this to prepare Excel immediately for the string to be a string, not something else. Some of my strings had weird print characters that kind of looked like Japenese characters. It seemed random, it always happened if the string was 255 or more characters (ramdonly, not always). The single quote doesn't show up in Excel, but got rid of all the noise.
I have code written which imports excel data to a access table but after the first import it fails due to duplicates, how can i tell it to ignore duplicates in the table and only copy new records?
code is below.
Code: Function SyncEmployes() Dim lngColumn As Long Dim xlx As Object, xlw As Object, xls As Object, xlc As Object
I am writing the following code that will first of all display column headers dynamically using "Headers" field data from Access table and then find out the sum(volume) using column header and first column values. The following code works fine to display headers dynamically in Excelsheet from Access table but doesn't display sum(volume) in all the corresponding cells. As I can't attach the Access table so I have stored data from Access table to sheet named "Access Data" as attached. The sheet2 named "Report" should populate total volume .
Code: Public Function Inputdata() Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim r As Long Dim i As Integer
I have a form which i use for a user to select an excel file they want to import and then click a cmd button to import the file into a table which works fine, however i want to append a date into a date field from an unbound txtbx before the file is imported so it will look something like;
I have an access table and I want the code that will check two columns in the table "EnvelopeType" and "EnvelopeSize" and create headers in Excelsheet automatically. In the attached workbook, like in sheet1 the headers are already appeared, I want this to be done dynamically using vba code so that if new values get inserted in EnvelopeType and EnvelopeSize then we won't have to change the code to display more headers.
Please see attached workbook named Sample and Access table. E.g.
EnvelopeType EnvelopeSize TNT 2nd Class C5 PP1 2nd Class C5 PPI 1st Class A4 Recorded A4 TNT 2nd Class C5 PP1 2nd Class C5 Recorded A4 PPI 1st Class A4 Recorded C5
With the code it should display following headers in excel sheet:
TNT 2nd Class C5 PP1 2nd Class C5 PPI 1st Class A4 Recorded A4 Recorded C5
In sheet 1, In column A all the Batch numbers are present. So I want to check if each of these is present in Access table named "tblmain". If its present then display its corresponding Policy number in Column B of attached workbook.
I have a form where when the user clicks on the browse button then excel workbook filepath gets stored in the textbox as below:
Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ChooseFile End Sub Sub ChooseFile() Dim fd As FileDialog Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
[Code] .....
Please see attached the excel workbook. Everytime the user will select Excel workbook using Browse button. Now in that file , the first sheetname will always be "Summary". I want to perform the following steps:
1. So now I want VBA code to copy the data from columns "Withdrawn","Obsolete","Updated","LitRef" from Summary sheet to the Access table named tblSummary.
2. When the data gets copied in Access table then write So VBA code that will check if the data in field LitRef in table "tblSummary" is present in field "Reference" of Access table "tblliterature" . if its present then check in the tblSummary , which corresponding fields out of "Withdrawn","Obsolete" and "Updated" stores "Y" . 3. If "Withdrawn" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Withdrawn" 4. If "Obsolete" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Obsolete" 5. If "Updated" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Updated" .
I need some simple code that will copy an Excel file or a table in Access to a specific location on an FTP server. I would think this would be a very simple task, but I have yet to find any sample code that is *simple*. I have seen lots of code that requires downloading this dll or that mda, but the examples don't work. There must be something built into MS Access 2010 that will allow a file to be uploaded to an FTP site.
All the variables are known:
The FTP location (it never changes) The FTP Username and Password (they never change) The destination folder on the FTP site (it never changes) The File type (it never changes) The File name (available from the form in Access from which this will be executed)
I can either produce an output file, then copy it to the FTP site, or I can export the table directly to the FTP site with the file name for that day.
This seems to be a very simple task with no simple solution. Currently I am using an FTP app to get the file to the FTP site, but I would like to automate this. The process that creates the output file is already automated, so I would just like to add this to the existing code as its own module.
just made all that above up and none of it is a real function/command in VBA, but is just the kind of thing I'm looking for.
I would think that since I can download and XML file from an FTP site that it should be child's play to upload a simple file to an FTP site, but I can't figure it out.
When I import a column from Excel into a new table in Access using the Docmd.transferspreadsheet function, Access automatically assigns a field name of "F1"; and if I try to import a range of columns (Eg A1:B10), then Access saves them into a table with 2 columns with field names "F1" and "F2". The table is created as part of the Docmd function, and so I don't have control over the field names.
Is this going to always be the case? Can I depend on Access to always use this naming convention? Because I am about to start writing more code that will depend on these field names.
I have a simple calculated field (As "Ratio") that is readable in Access 2010 query, but crashes in Excel upon importing/running the query in an .xlsx table.
ERROR MESSAGE in EXCEL: "The query did not run, or the database table could not be opened...check database server..contact your database administrator.."
I am simply taking the cost amounts of each project record (shown as "Record Cost") and dividing it by the "Total Cost" of that project to render "Ratio".
The Total Cost is retrieved from another table.
Testing scenarios: If we exclude Ratio, the whole query import just fine. If we filter the query to one project (i.e. "Project A") the ratio field imports fine.
However, the whole unfiltered query does not with the ratio!
Other testing scenarios:
If we use a constant for the denominator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. recordcost/1) the whole unfiltered query and ratio field imports fine.
If we use a constant for the numerator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. 1/totalcost) the whole unfiltered query upon import crashes in Excel.
This is a mock example of the dataset, the actual query has 50K+ records:
Project Service Date Record Cost Total Cost Ratio A Welding 1/1/2012 $100 $120 83% A Plumbing 2/1/2012 $20 $120 17% B Welding 1/1/2012 $50 $75 67% B Plumbing 2/1/2012 $25 $75 33% C Welding 1/1/2012 $40 $61 66% C Plumbing 2/1/2012 $21 $61 34%
See attached the Workbook. I need to check the policy Numbers in Column A of all the sheets in the attached workbook if its present in Access Table. If yes then write the corresponding ScanDate and BatchNo from Access table to columns I and J of all the sheets. I need to write VBA code to perform it.
In the attached workook, only Sheet1 contains the data but in actual there will be data in 5 sheets in the workbook.
I have an App that runs a few action queries using:
Code: CurrentDb.Execute "[My Query Name]"
At some point I get this Error: The Microsoft Access database engine cannot find the input table or query <name>. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly. (Error 3078).The query is there, I can run it from the DB objects window.Queries run using CurrentDb.Execute earlier in the code.
I am looking to generate a total number of a given column based on two criteria.I would like a label (or textbox if necessary) to display a given total of "Active" devices based on a given month.The table name is "Blackberry" and the specific columns I would like to check would be "Activated?" and "Registration Date". I'm not sure if I should be using a dsum or dcount and the error i keep getting is a type mismatch.an active device would have the text value of "Yes.
Dim advalue As Integer advalue = DCount("[Activated?]", "Blackberry", "[Activated?]=yes" And "[Registration Date] > #01/01/2000#") lblad.Caption = advalue
I have a report (Access 2007) with multiple totals and subtotals. However, one field, whenever I click "show Grand Total," always shows up all akimbo (out of line with the other grand totals), unbound and without the nifty little blue "grand total bar" above it.
