MS Access 97: Printing PDF Files
Sep 14, 2004I would like to be able to print PDF Files from MS Access 97. I have a table with records containing all the information necessary to create full pathname of the file (i.e. strPathName). But how do I get it to print (not view) the file once the record is selected from a drop-down box. Do I have to create a module to do this? Or is there some simple trick? If anyone has come code for doing this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Pcx Files And Access 2003
Jul 9, 2007Hello all
This morning I converted an Access 97 db to Access 2003. Unfortunately the db will not now open any .pcx files. Does anybody know if there is there an issue with .pcx files. According to MSDN Access should (and you would expect it to) open .pcx files. I did notice that when office 2003 is installed it does not install the pcx graphics filter PCXIMP32.FLT and it does not appear in the graphics conversion tools download for 2003.

Reports :: Access Report Only Printing Some Image Files
Apr 20, 2015I am running Access 2013. I have created a report where the tables are linked to a SQL DB
I am trying to run a sales report that includes an stored image.
I am adding an Image and then using the control source to look up the 'filepath' stored in the DB. When I run the report on screen all the images are showing but when I try to print it (including exporting to PDF or XPS) and Print Preview only 2 of the 9 images print per page. The images are around 2-4 Mb.
I'm guessing its to do with the files sizes but cannot do anything about the size.
Using Files Created In Access 2003 In Access 2000
Nov 30, 2004Hi:
The company I am consulting with uses Access 2000 and has no intentions of upgrading. I currently do not own Access on my laptop.
I was planning to purchase Access 2003 for my laptop but am concerned that files I create in 2003 might not be "editable" in 2000 even if I choose the 2000 format when creating new databases.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried creating a file in 2003 (using the 2000 format - as I'm told you can choose what format you want to use) and then edited it in 2000. I want my client to be able to edit the files in 2000 once I've moved on. (I can get 2003 for about the same price as 2000 - so my preference would be to get 2003.) The other obvious reason for going for 2003 is that I could run into the reverse challenge if I own 2000 and my next client uses 2003. At that point, I'd be forced to upgrade to 2003.
My databases are not complex - but do include some customized macros.
Any help, comments... appreciated.
Thx,
dave
Need Your Opinion - Store/retrieve Word And Excel Files In Access 2003
Sep 4, 2007Folks I need your help; just wanted to get your opinions here.
I work in a small engineering group and we have lots of reference documents in word and excel which we typically use for any projects. Currently, all these files are stored in Lotus Notes database. Unfortunately, they are pulling the plug on Notes license starting this fall. Therefore, I have been asked to see if there is a way we can store these files in Access as a repository and query the database whenever we need some information.
In order to avoid the database size getting too big, my thought was to store the .xls/.doc files as an “OLE object” data type, keep the files in local hard drive and create a link in a form to give the user to retrieve the information.
Do any of you have any suggestion on what is the best way to handle this?
Your input is highly appreciated.

Modules & VBA :: How To Import Data From Text Files Into Access
Nov 6, 2014I have a text file that details every single incident that happened in the system. This means that it is extremely messy and non-comprehensible to a normal person due to the use of codewords and all.
Is it possible to scan through the document and insert the data into access, such that the different keywords are put as seperate events?
Ps, the number of characters between each event and data may not always be the same, so seperating them by that is not the way to do it. However, when I open the file in notepad++, I can confirm that each event is 6 lines.
E.g. Line 1 = Event timestamp, Line 2 = Event Name, Line 3 = Acknowledged or not, Line 4 = Acknowledged by who, Line 5 = Event Details, Line 6 = Application Owner.
Basically, the 6 lines are the 6 columns that I would need in my table. So, is it possible to separate out and read every 6 lines of data in the text file?

Importing Text Files
May 1, 2006Hi!
I'm trying to import csv files into an Access 97 database, but the filename is different each time otherwise I would just use a commandbutton with the transfertext macro.
I've been searching for help to browse to a file and keep coming back to the same few pages but not being a programmer I can't figure out how to use the code.
Can anyone help me with simple instructions on how to do this?
Thanks.

Importing Text Files
Feb 7, 2008All,
I have a database that I import text files to create tables. I ve been doing this awhile but now I have to pass it on to someone else to do and are trying to find a better way. this is what I've been doing: I import the text file into a new table. Then I copy and paste the data to the corresponding table. I know I can do an append query to do this but its about 12 text files I have to import into 12 different tables and I didn't want to take the time. I then run a query to combine and sum data from two different tables. The problem is that I have to copy and paste because if I import the text files directly into the corresponding table, the query don't run. I've tried change the field data type in the import wizard but it still doesn't work. My table datatype fields are: field1-text field2-number and field3-number. There is not field for number in the wizard but I use double as a field size in the design table so I select this in the wizard. I don't know how to resolve this other than spending time to create an append query or cut and paste. Please help
Thanks
Databases And Text Files
Jun 6, 2005I have an asp web page that allows a user to request information from an Access Database, the results of this request are then displayed on a second asp web page and finally the user can then select to view the individual results of the request on a third asp page.
For instance, a user can select all the registered names beginning with the letter 'A', the result of this request will be shown on page2.asp, the user can then select one of the names and the results of that request will be shown on page3.asp.
What I want to happen now is that on page3.asp I need to display some text, the amount of text is too long to put it directly in the Access Database, it needs to be in a separate file like a txt file or something. I need to know how to set up the field on the Access Database to call the text file and the asp code I need to use on page3.asp.
Any suggestions?
Importing Fixed With Text Files
Jun 7, 2005Dear All,
I need some help. I am writing a database for my new and small company. I receive internet orders from my ISP in an email. I want to find a simple way of automatically importing these emails into my "Customer Information" table.
The issue is that I have no control on the format of the email I receive from my ISP. The data is fixed width and stores the information horizontally rather than in columns. For example:
Quantity : 1
Price : GBP 199.00
Delivery : GBP 5.00
Total : GBP 204.00
I have been exploring the GetData option and using the advance settings to align fields. It seems (and I am not an expert user of Access) that the GetData function relies on the import source to be aligned in vertical columns rather than horizontally. This makes mapping the fields almost impossible.
Does anyone have a clever work-around? Either in Access or manipulating the data before it goes into the database?
Many thanks, Matthew (matthew@byatt.com)
Concatenate Text From Flat TXT Files
Jun 15, 2007I receive reports formatted as a .txt (flat) file.
Problem: I have to develop a process to manage the .txt files so the data can be separated into its own fields. The layout of the output is as follows:
Date Time User Status Customer Name ID#
06/04/07 15:51 MRF C PTRSNEEO,TBYET L 01234567
Closed By:MRF acvd per xx adv xx of prices on her xxxx XYZASSX
TBLTSXS 75ZZ 90/09ds &5.35 XMEPRAZLE CCC 20XX
90/90ds &2.15 UTZXLPIES EX CCC 100XX 90/09ds &2.15
TYERLXP 0.125XX (TPSDTRM) 90/90ds &2.15 MNTYIMPS
90/90ds &2.15 XYZCNITSASLS TTT 20XX n/s gave # to
call back mrf
1) The layout of the flat .txt file does not allow it to be parsed vertically.
I.e. Vertically: Date and Time overlap the Secondary User information.
The User initials are not aligned. Customer Name is directly over the documentation text and of a different string length.
When I try to "cut" the data by the main sections into columns (Date / Time / User / Status / Customer Name / ID#) to import into Access the text in the documentation fields is "cut" into those sections as well.
I want to be able to reconstruct the text sections that are split apart into a single "cell" that can be exported to Excel or used within Access.
2) Also, some records have 1 line of text, others 2...up to 8. Each individual line of text ends up in its own cell. How can I "code" Access to read to the end of the last line of text (last cell) of the record and then concatenate the text in those cells into one continuous string of text in a single cell?
At the end of each record in the report there is a space separating the records.
I realize this is long and complicated, but am lost and the volume of this type of work is increasing. Requests to IS to change the output of the system reports is low priority so I am stuck. Thank you for any help you may provide.
Importing SAP Text Files And Join Help
May 27, 2005I imported a table into Access from a SAP generated text file. The integrity of the data is fine after import. I then created a new table from the original that has the exact same amount of records and has the same unique field, which is MATERIAL. The problem I have is when I join the two tables in a query, Access returns approx 140,000 records. I am doing a regular join, what could be the problem? Is it possible the table data types are not formated correctly, b.c I imported them all as text so Access would import all lines.
I look forward to anyone's response.
TIA

Importing Multiple Text Files
Aug 1, 2006I am trying to import several txt from a directory.
The following code is on a button in a form:
Private Sub ImportData_Click()
Dim myfile
Dim mypath
mypath = "G:FinanceAccountingRoyalty2006exports3rd QTR 06JUL 06 est"
Do
myfile = Dir(mypath & "*.txt")
DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "import_data", "tbl_import_tables", mypath & myfile, False, ""
myfile = Dir
Loop Until myfile = ""
End Sub
The problem is this causes a infinite loop
Can anyone help?? Thanks
PS This code was from previous posting, where the transfer was excel files.
Tables :: Date In Text Files
May 1, 2014I am importing a field from and old DOS based data base where dates and text are mixed in the same field. The field can have either one of more dates or text. That is the possible entries in the field are:
(1) 12/12/2013
(2) 12/12/2013, 12/1/2013 or some other delimiter other than a comma
(3) 6 CDs
When I tried to import the field, I am finding that (1) results in a string of numbers which represents the date. The others are, of course, OK.What I am trying to figure out is if the first type occurs and I have 41640 it will appear as 01/01/2014. So, can you have mixed field types in the same field by using some custom formatting with an if (of Iif) statement and what would that be? Something like IIF(IsDate([FieldA], format([FieldA], short date), @) I just cant seem to get the right nomenclature or number of correct arguments.
Split A Query Into Two Text Files?
Jan 24, 2014I have a very large query that I need to export to text. I'm hitting the 4GB limit, so I'd like to "split" the query and create two text files instead.
What's the most efficient way to do this? Also, are there any export file formats that can handle more data? (i.e. is there a format that could fit this massive query into a single file?)
