Modules & VBA :: Importing Data From CSV File Into Access Table
Jul 19, 2013
Code beneath worked perfectly with Access 2003.Now we switched to Access 2010 and it generates a table where data isn't put into my 77 fields like before, but seperated into 1 field, separated by some ;;;.I am not good with programming.
Dim rst_data As Recordset
Dim oldname As String, newname As String
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "TBL_import_TPXP_Radi_Evvd"
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "TBL_import_TPXP_Radi_Evvd", "N:APPLSHAREPRDQSIGMKTDISTPWBUSPB1815RADIEV IMPACT.CSV", False, ""
[code]...

I'd like to be able to filter through a .dat file like that (which is pretty much just like a .txt file as far as I can tell) and have that data appended into a table by way of a command button.
The annoying thing is that the data would have to be pulled out of the .dat file by position into columns like this:
Example line:
Code:
09 19192 00010212b1 5010570223
19192 = Ticket (Will be 5 digits long)
0001 = Quantity (Should be 4 digits long)
0212b1 - Location (Will be 6 characters long)
5010570223 = Article (Will be 10 characters long (not numbers))
by the way, let's say the .dat file will be in folder C:CENTURYWTERM.

I am importing csv files into tables in a batch routine and I get the following error messages. The error number is always 2391.
Field 'F1' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
Field 'F4' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
Field 'F36' Doesn't Exist in Destination Table
I understand the first one and can find references to this on the web but the F4 and F36 escape me.
All fields required do actually exist in the table so the real problem is elsewhere.
P.S. I now think that it may be that there are embedded commas in one or more of the text fields and that the number following the 'F' indicates the position of the field in the table. I will check in the morning or create the csv files using commas and quotes.

I currently use the following to import a csv file into a staging table and then append and save the data to a table - however it doesnt use the headings from the csv file and creates an error table and a blank record where the headings should be apart from one column where it copies the name.
Would it be possible to use the headings as field names or just omit them completely and use the standard f1 f2 f3 etc access generates in the tmp table?
Code:
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.Title = "Select the CSV file to import"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "CSV Files", "*.csv", 1
.Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*", 2
[Code] ....

Hi,
I have a text file with comma separated values. What I want is a single access query to import this text file into an access table. I know this can be done through import text wizard in access - but what I need is a single query.
I have done the same thing for transferring oracle data to an access table - but for text file to access, I am getting -7778 error.
This is the query I have written
SELECT * into MY_ACCESS_TBL from [odbc;Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};Dbq=MY_TEXT_FILE_PATH;].[MY_TEXT_FILE.txt];
Please help!!
Regards,
Suneesh

what is the best way to import the data from the XML file into an access database table. The database I am working with has one large main table where all of the main record data is stored. There is a somewhat complex string of queries and reports based off this table that I am concerned about preserving. The problem is that the XML file is not structured in the same way the table is. The headings are named different, aren't in the same order, etc. I cannot use the import method and simply append it to the main table.After much searching around I have found two options:
1) Use the built in XML import method that access provides to create a secondary table. Then find a way to take data from individual fields in the second table and map and insert it into a new record in the main table.I already have the import part of this option working. The only part I can't seem to understand is how to take data from the second table and get it into a new record in the main table under the correct headings
2) Read the data from the XML file all at once and then map and insert it into the main table.I have not attempted this yet. I was having a hard time understanding how to retrieve the data from the XML file in the first place.
So.. which would be better/easiest to automate (most likely via button click on a form)? I only have a small understanding of VBA and even less understanding of anything XML.

I receive a .txt file daily and want to import the information into a table. My problem is that the currency values in the .txt file do not contain a decimal. For instance $7.12 will come in showing as 712. How do I get Access to recognize it with the decimal?

hi, i have struggled to import some data from an excel file into an sql database..
i have used phpmyadmin and certain code snippets but have failed miserably..
basically my excel file has lots of data, and within each cell, each bit of data is in single quotes...
eg.
'jonathan' '23' 'hardman' 'cheese'
there are no headings in the excel file (as in column or row titles) the data is just raw.
once i have made the table (with the appropriate fields and datatypes for the csv file) how can i import that data into a table using ms access???

Hi
My question is: how do I set up the table to minimize redundant data. I have several fields that match the column headings in Excel, so the data can be imported, but fields like user name, pick slot, batch # all get redundant every time I import. My file is getting unnecessarily large. I know splitting the one table into many is the right thing to do, but don't have a clue how to import the data than. any help
Thanks

I've had a look through the many topics on text importing, but can't find anything specific to my problem.
One of our suppliers has started offering their catalogue as a CSV file via e-mail. For now, I am saving the file to my computer, and wanting to import it into a database.
the table is a bit awkward, as it has "useless" data in the first field. Here is the beginning of one as an example:
VIP Computer Centre Ltd. Trade Price List. 22 August 2006 3:37 PM
ORDER CODE,PROD GROUP,DESCRIPTION,WTY,BOXED IN,1 OFF,5 OFF,20 OFF,UNIT
7719-C,BAREBONE SYSTEMS,JW MINIQ 430AV INSTANT-ON B/B,0,1,50,49.75,49.25,EACH
I imported the data via the Get External Data feature into a new table. This worked fine. I then changed a couple of values, and re-imported the data, this time selecting to import it to the new table. It came up with an error, saying 295 records were lost due to key violations. I then realised that this only appended the data on the end of the table, which isn't what I want.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
The field names are created from the titles in row 2 of the CSV file
The table is updated by importing the latest CSV file, so that any price alterations are changed, and any new products added (but identical data is ignored). If one field is needed as a constant, this would be the ORDER CODE field
Field 2 (PROD GROUP) becomes a combo list box (probably based on another table - so the table contains the categories, e.g. BAREBONE SYSTEMS, and the text from the CSV file is converted to the appropriate ID number)
Is any of this possible? If so, how?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

Here is the import statement I'm using:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "IT315 Import Specification_txt", _
"IT315", "D:4533 Hires Rehire Status ChangeIT315.txt"
I can manually transfer the data ie thru File --> Get External Data etc but I can't seem to get the above statement to work --- with the same specification!!
The details are in the attached doc file.

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

Hi, I have an xml which fields of text and some of numbers.
When I do: File --> Get External Data --> Import; I'm able to import the file.
The problem is that not all the data is entered in the fields. The colums containing the text are excluded.
While importing, I did choose the option "Structure and Data", so it should work.
Any suggestions on to why it is doing that?
Thanks.

I have a dbf file that I need to somehow get the table data out of, and into access, excel, or some other usable format. I searches the MS Knowledge Base and read several articles on updating the Jet 4.0 drivers (up to date) and updating Foxpro ODBC drivers, etc. I also searched these forums, and I have yet to find any solution that works.
I think this dbf file might be Foxpro, but I'm not sure. I don't know anything about Foxpro. I was getting an error message "unexpected error from external database driver (8961)", until I read an MS article stating that I should change the name of the Borland folder to BorlandOld and try re-importing. Now Access 2003 just says: "external table not in the specified format".

I work for a company that has a mainframe application that produces "outgoing" files. They are downloaded to a server and converted to ASCII (all at one time) and then ftp'ed to various clients. We are converting to a client server application and I am in charge of verifying that the mainframe application files (converted) are EXACTLY the same as the server application files. I came up with a process of loading the files to access databases and then with a series of queries and reports produce a list of exactly what doesn't match, which record, what positions and display the two fields that are mismatching.
My problem is that when I try to load the Mainframe file (note that it has already been converted and "eyeball to eyeball" the files are alike) using the "new" / import functions, Access rejects the file because it is greater than 65000 bytes. If I cut the file down to under 65k bytes it loads fine. I can load a 500,000 byte file that was created on the server in the first place.
Any suggestions? I can't change any of the processes that create the files. But I can change copies of the files so that I might be able to get them to load so I can verify that the data inside is the same. I'll let the geeks figure out how to fix the file/record control stuff.
(wouldn't have this problem if I was back on a mainframe!!!!)

Hello - I want to import a text file into a table in a database. The text file looks like this:
00001 06006025 1420 0010 Health Insurance 7
00001 06006025 1425 0010 Life Insurance 7
00001 06006025 1430 0010 Disability 7
00001 06006025 1440 0010 Profit Sharing 7
There is no consistent delimiter. The text field is making things complicated because there is no accurate way to separate the text field from the last number in each line ('7') which needs to be stored in a different column.
Is there a way to insert quotations arond the text string so the quotation mark can be used to distinguish it when importing into excel or a database table. This may work because the starting position of the text string is constant. The ending position would have to be defined as the place where the number appears ('7' in this case). Then, quotations need to be placed around the text string.
Is this possible? Any advice will help tons!!!

I'm able to do the import, but I can't get the time of day to show up in military format, which seems more useful when I'm wanting to filter out certain blocks of time later on.
The attached jpg shows the format of the source txt file. The time is shown as 09:30 AM for instance. The attached screen shot for the import text wizard doesn't mean much to me at this point, because no settings seem to work. I've also attached the Import Specification window.
What's been happening is I've been getting a table with field2 showing time in this format 09:30:00 AM where the AM is random and unreliable followed by field3 showing the correct AM/PM designation. This is when I just let all the text wizard stuff run by default settings.
I can then go into the table in design view and change the format of the time of day to hh:nn which gives me 09:30, but then I'm still stuck with the problem of converting all the figures in fields 2 and 3 into something I can work with. BTW, Hh:mm:ss defaults to hh:nn.
Would it be better perhaps to first convert my source file to another format such as csv?

Is the record is already existing in access, but a few fields are blank, is there any way to import an excel file that just updates those blank fields for the specific record?
For example,
I have an excel file that includes files that are ready to ship out. My access database already has those file names, but does not have the shipping box number. Is there any way to import the excel file into my database, have it find those specific file names and update the shipping box number field? The excel file won't be adding any new records, just appending existing records.
