Pasting Records From Excel
Feb 14, 2006
Hello All,
I'm having trouble pasting a series of records of text from an excel sheet to a table in access.
The field (Instructions) in the main table gets its values from another table (Instructions) with Inst_ID(autonumber) + Text.
The (Instructions) table was constructed based on the unique values found in the pool of all records (611) in the excel sheet - 102 unique records.
The problem occurs when i paste the bulk of records (611) to the field in the main table - stating that #The text is too long to be edited"
- My Field Size for the respective field in the main table is set to "LongInteger"
- In the Instructions Table the text records are set as "Memo"
What happens is that only 529 of the 611 records are allowed to be pasted the remainder end up in the "Paste Errors" table, which i then confirm exist in the Instructions Table.
This also happens for other fields where i attempt the same approach (unique values from excel to table, then pasting of 611 records to respective field in the main table) but here i'm able to paste a mere 30, 52, ... records of the total of 611.
Reading through the forum for this subject i found that what could be done (Long Integer + Memo), I believe, has already been done.
So i was hoping someone could provide some help for this issue, or to figure out if what i'm trying to do is not possible.
It must be said that some of the Instruction's text really have a large character count but certainly less than 65,xxx (memo)
Thanks for any help provided.
Kind regards,
Ode.

I am copying and pasting the results of an Access query to Excel for the purposes of using that data as the source for a VLOOKUP. However, it seems that no matter what I do the cells that were pasted from Access do not correspond to the same values that are in the lookup table in Excel. For example, I want to find the value ABC from column A of the pasted Access data to find the corresponding ABC in the Excel array. It doesn't consider it a match even though both cells are formatted the same way. I've even gone so far to test it by putting a logical comparison of the specific cells in another cell and it claims they are not the same even though the values are exactly the same. The only thing that seems to work is if I manually type over the value pasted from Access with the same value that is already in the cell. Then the VLOOKUP works. However, I am not about to go typing all these values manually. That's why I used an Access query. How do I get Excel to recognize that these values indeed match?

Hello,
I'd like an easy way for my users to be able to transfer data from Excel to Access. Basically, I'd like them to manually create a new parent record, and paste into an empty text box new child records. Then, when they clicked finish, I'd grab the info in the text box and put it in the appropriate tables. The trouble is - I have no clue how to do this. If someone could tell me how to get data pasted into a textbox into a table, I could figure the rest out. Any advice?
Thanks,
Eric

When I am working in the tutorial which is shown in the below link:
[URL]
when I copy from Clarksville.xlsx the employees names and try to paste into a new Access database*. It says:
Text is Too Long to be Edited
I am unsure what to do next to deal with this error. The internet says to increase the size of the cell where the text is being pasted. I am not sure how to do that.

I am trying to learn to use MS access 2007 and have a query about copying and pasting.
Is it possible to paste the same line of text into multiple lines or do I have to arrow down and paste into each individual box?? I can highlight any number of boxes in the same column but when I click paste it only pastes into the first highlighted box.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, I have a table holding data with each record allocated an Autonumber data type. I accidentally deleted some of these records, although they are still present in another table. How do i paste them from this other table into my current table, allowing them to keep their original autonumbers instead of just adding them to the end?
(eg - I have records with Autonumbers 1,2,3,4,5 and after deleting 3 and 4 i have 1,2,5.
I need to paste records 3 and 4 (from other table) so as they again become 3 and 4 and not 6 and 7)
Thanks.

Hi,
Am not sure if its possible with access but have a hunch that it might not be something very difficult.
I have developed an access FE/BE application (in the network). The front-end users run query and view the results fine.
They copy (ctrl-C) the data from the query datasheet and paste (ctrl-V) it to Ms-Excel which I want to stop. Is there any way that I can stop/restrict them from copying the data and pasting it somewhere else. I want to stop this operation.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I have a spreadsheet which has a large amount of data. It is organised by database structure. I'm aware of primary keys etc but what I want to avoid is creating each field as new.
For example I would like to copy the fields from excel and paste them to create feilds in access. I'm aware that I would have to manually input any special parameters. This would save me a couple of hours.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there, and sorry for such a stupid question..
I'm just making the change from excel to access for my business.
Most things seem straightforward but I can't seem to paste a single value into multiple records.
For instance, I have a couple of hundred records. I add a new field. The first 70 records all have the same value (5) for this field. In excel I would put 5 in the top cell, copy it, select all the other cells and hit paste. Doesn't seem to work in access, just paste a single one at a time.
Best I can come up with is to copy and paste 1. Then copy and paste those 2, then those 4 and so on. This does the job for 200 records but I' wouldn't facy it for 20,000....
Is there a simple answer or is it a VBA job?
Cheers,
Dave

Trying to paste hyperlinks in main table - Access allowed me to paste one - using the edit-paste hyperlink function- however now and forevermore that function is "grayed out" and I can no longer paste hyperlinks - I need to past approximately 1400 hyperlinks into a table so that the user can access secure intranet sites by clicking on the appropriate field in the form view -
If I can't get this to work...is it possible to run a macro from a command button on the form to open Internet explorer, paste stated text into the address bar (example www.) and then paste data from a field in the form into the string in the address bar, and then finally, follow up with stated text.
Example would be: Field=1234567
Macro opens explorer and pastes "www.testwebpage1234567toprovepoint.com into the address bar.
thanks...

I am now trying to put in control source formulas. Like the one shown below on the far right.
I used to copy and paste them into the properties window - control source. That is not working - frequently only part of the formula gets in. The form does not work or gives bad information.
However, is that the only way that I know to cut and paste a formula into properties window?
I know that on the far right on the properties windows control source is an ellipsis (...) which opens up a window I think where could can paste the formula in.
The tutorial is here: [URL]....
Text Box
txtCustomerName
=IIf(IsNull([AccountNumber]),"",DLookUp("LastName","Customers","AccountNumber
= '" & [AccountNumber] & "'")+','+DLookUp("FirstName","Customers","AccountNumber
= '" & [AccountNumber] & "'"))

I currently have two forms both usedfor adding new records into two different tables. The problem I am having was first that I could not simply bring the value in the ID field over from one form to the next. Now all I would like to be able to do is copy the value in the first ID and Paste in the second ID field on the second form.
I am currently getting an error possibly because the ID field on the first form in the Primary key for the table that form is linked to, on the second form however ID field is not the Primary key, I also can't make it the primary key because their are duplicate records that I cannot delete.
So... is it possible to get around this somehow to be able to copy and paste from one form to another?

Okay I have an Orders Form, which generates a SubTotal Price (ex VAT), VAT, Shipping & Freight Charge based on an IIF statment of being under a 50.00 order apply 20.00 charge. And finally a Order Total with it all added together. This works fine, however I cannot seem to find a way to post these prices in my Orders Table. When I click on Datasheet View for the form, all the details appear as they should.

I have a table in MS Access naming "Salutation" and in the table I have 6 columns and each column named as Week No., Carry Forward records, new records, total records, processed records and pending records. Like below
Week No. Carry Forward records new records total processed pending
1 0 10 10 5 5
2 5 10 15 7 8
3 8 20 28 9 19
So now the requirement is every day pending records should get updated in the next row with in the same table under carry forward records of its next immediate day. For e.g. pending records of week number 1 which is 5 should get updated under carry forward records for week number 2 and so on.

How to pair records. I have been asked to create a database for marriage bans. I have the data in an excell file with the following columns.
ficheno, page no, entry number, date, year, forename,last name, condition, occupation, minister.
Ok no problems creating and inputing the data to a table and creating a form to show the data and add a search button.
However I have realised that in the spread sheet
Line one and line two are "a couple" as are 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 etc etc.
So on my form I would like the details from a pair to be shown , similarly when a search is done by surname I'd like the results to show the pair.

I currently have a database that is missing various pieces of information, we are getting a temp in to complete this. I don't want the temp adding data directly into Access so I have exported the table that needs updating into Excel.
How can I then import the new data without altering current data.
I know this is no problem for new records, but if I have a current record with a few fields of information missing how can I just import information into the blank fields. This can't be a manual process as there are hundreds of records.
Any comments would be much appreciated!
Chris

Hi there
I have a spreadsheet that I have successfuly imported into Access but now I would like to maintain it, update/append/delete records etc.
The spreadsheet is produced weekly and Intend to import it into my Access database on a weekly basis there are around 20,500 records and 15 Fields. I have kept the Field names in Access the same as the spreadsheet, except that the Access table has an ID field with PK and autonum. There are no other tables involved, it should just be a straight import update append ...but how?
I am looking for the best way to approach carryingout a regular update, is it best to bring the new import into a Temp table? and then carry out the analysis of what has been changed, deleted or added?
Also the queries to do this, how exactly do you get a query to scan through all of these rows and columns.
one last thing is it possible to create a table during the update/append process that will log all of the changes or flag the records using A=Append, D=Deleted U=Updated...
I've tried looking at various forums but mostly all I find is people with similar problems and no definitinve answer.
thanks

I have Office 2010 working on XP Pro SP3.
This is the first time I have tried to append/import a bunch of names and addresses from a spreadsheet into my access table.
I thought it would be easy with all the integration of applications but it's not. What happened to the bit where I could match the fields where it's not quite the same name and set the type so it worked OK.
All I seem to be able to get at at the moment is a wizard which does a very poor job and won't allow me to append the records. I tried exporting the Excel as CSV - same thing - error messages.
Is there a way of matching up the fields so everything works? What am I missing - this should be a cinch right?

I have a query in acess which brings data from different tables. Each month I print this query and I send to a person that will modify the numbers (manually - yes with a pen) and give it back to me. Then I update it manually (in the computer) and print it back to verify.Once I have the final version done, I have to put the updated data into access again. And this is the part I would like to automate (since its not possible to automate the first step because the other person is a retarded on computers and want to use a pen).
So how can I import the data I updated in excel to access? As far as I saw I can only import data into a table, not update using a query. Plus while we are making this manual updates, the data in access is changing. So copy and paste is not an option since the order of the records in the query will be heavily different.

I need to import an excel sheet containing updated tickets to my access ticket database. They have unique IDs in the form of a "Ticket ID" field.
I could just use an append query to add the new tickets to my database, but there are some changes on the excel side to tickets that already exist in access as well. What would be the easiest way to facilitate this import and overwrite all tickets with matching Ticket IDs to the new ones contained in the excel file?
I already have the excel file imported into it's own table, so it's a matter of updating my main table off of this temporary table containing the excel tickets. The field names are the same across both tables, it's just a matter of updating the info contained in them.
This will need to be repeated for multiple different excel files, so the easier the better!
