Problem Converting Db To A .mde File

Nov 3, 2005

I am trying to convert my access database to a .mde file. However, I am getting an error message stating that my database is too large to be converted. It suggest that I export the database as an .mde database instead. I am trying to lock this database so that user cannot get to the design and the codes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I have to, how do I export the .mdb database to a .mde one. I am currently using access 2003. Thanks

Converting 1000s Of Spreadsheets To One Access File

Apr 2, 2007

A group in my company has, for quite a while now, used a spreadsheet template to capture information needed for customer hard output. Someone built a page, with the less-than-a-dozen required cells in the appropriate places and a set print area, for printing the information. After they enter the information and print the page, they save the excel file. They have been doing this for quite a while now, and the number of files they have on their shared drive is staggering... and the method they using for naming conventions and cataloging them is almost beyond comprehension.

As they do indeed refer back to these files quite a bit, I am wondering if it possible to import the required cells of information from this mass of excel files, all of which are formatted and laid out the same, to an access table. I have never considered this before and have no idea how to start or whether it is even possible. I did a search on "import" but no results match what I am considering here.

To clarify one thing about these files: The information is not contiguous. It is spread all over... C6, E12, F45, J5, etc. They tried to build the form in excel so that it would print in the format they needed.

Thanks for all your help!!

Converting A Percentage Field From A Text File

Dec 31, 2007

I have a text file delimited and uploaded the information to a new Access Table. One field "MarketValue" has a number followed with a percentage (i.e. 100%, 54%, etc..), however it converts as a text column.

How can I convert the column to a TRUE percentage field representing the value originally imported.

Converting Image Stored In Table To .jepg File

Aug 17, 2007

I am creating a employee db where the pic of the employee is displayed. The pic of the employee is currently stored in a folder using the employee ID as the file name, and the link to the pic file is stored in the employee table. The pic is displayed via an "on current" event of the employee form. I would like to be able to aquire a pic directly from a digital camera into the folder and have it available for the employee display form. I am not sure how to do it as the link to the pic file must be automatically stored in the employee table associating it with the employee info.

At present, I am thinking of capturing the pic from the digital camera into a Temptable in the db and converting the image in the Temptable into a jepg file in the pic folder with the employee id as its file name. If I can do this, I am pretty much home free. Can someone please help. If not the method above, please directly me to another. Thanks

Queries :: Converting CSV File Into Text Format - Export Records With Specific Series And Date

Jun 7, 2015

I have a CSV file and want to convert it in a text format with some filtered data and with some formatting. This is an everyday task for me. So I made a table and imported the data in to it by the command :

DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "fo Import Specification", "fo", FileName:="C:UserswelcomeDesktopfo.csv", HasFieldNames:=True

Actually I have a column "SERIES", contains various series like "EQ", "BE", "DR", "BZ", "D1" and so on. And one more column with the dates having 4 / 5 current months dates and one next months date and one next to next month's date. And every date has got several thousand records.

now the issue is that : After importing these several thousand records, I want to export it but with a specific date and with a specific series.

The other thing is that, these dates change every month so if hard coded, the problem will occur the next month.

I use this code for export :

DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "NewFnoSpec", "fnoquery", "C:UserswelcomeDesktopFO Output.txt", True

this code is working fine but when the month will change, the code won't work.

Can we have a date & series picker attached to this query, so it can export the records with the specified SERIES & DATE.

I tried putting a textbox on the form named TxtDate and in a Query ( Design mode ) under the date column, in criteria I have put [Forms]![Futures]![TxtDate] and after putting this line, the query becomes empty and no data is there.

Converting From XP To 2003

Dec 3, 2005

I have a dbase that was created in access XP. We are in the process of upgrading to office 2003. For the most part the database works fine. However, I have 1 form that has a few fields that have conditional formatting
on them and when the form opens those fields flash very fast continuously all most like the tab key is being held down. No matter what I do I can't get it to stop. Has anyone seen anything like this and how do I make it stop?

Error Converting To MDE.

Jun 1, 2006

This is the error i get...

This error is usually associated with compiling a large database into an MDE file.* Due to the method used to compile the database, a considerable number of TableID references are created for each table.* The Microsoft Jet database engine version 4.0 can only create a maximum of 2048 open TableIDs at one time.* Exporting a database as an MDE potentially can exceed this limit if the database has a large number of objects (table, macro, form, report, etc).
There is no accurate method to estimate the number of TableIDs the Jet database engine uses during the process of compiling a database as an MDE.* However, each VBA module and each form uses one TableID, as a result, if the database has 500 forms, and each form's HasModule property is set to Yes, as many as 1,000 TableIDs are used.
More information about this error message online.

My database is by no means big, is there any other way i can convert from mdb to mde?

Thanks

Converting Backwards?

Jan 2, 2007

Hi.
For years several agencies have used a database written and maintained in Access 97.
One adminstartor has both 97 and 200 on his computer and no problem. Until now, that is.
When I try copying a revised front end, and opening it, I get 'unrecogized database format' message.
My hunch i sthat said administartor accidentally opned the basck end with 2000 and converted it.

So, can the back end be unconveted/reverted back to 97?
Any other suggestions?

Workgroups And Converting 97 To 2k+

May 30, 2007

I have a problem converting access 97 mdb files into access 2000. There are multiple access databases that use a mdw workgroup on a network drive. I do have the ability to log on as an admin. Access 2000 is not letting me convert the files to the new format (telling me I don't have permission). The databases do have lots of forms, queries, macros and such.

Would the easiest method be to remove the userlevel security or is it possible to get around that? If I were to remove the user level security is it as simple as loggin in as admin, deleting all user account, granting all permissions to users and admin and removing the password?

Any help is much appreciated.

Converting To Standalone

Jun 17, 2007

Hi All

I am currently compiling an Access DB to manage my work in progress, Payments due etc.

The DB is starting to work well and have requests from fellow contractors to purchase a copy (there are over 400 subcontractors in the group), with this in mind I have decided that when I complete the DB I will take it to a proffessional programmer and have it converted to a fully standalone programm.

My question: Is there a programm format that is preferable or would C# be the best option or is there a product out there that I could purchase and use.

Thanks in Advance

Converting A TXT To ACCESS

Sep 7, 2007

Hello,

I'm trying to get a way to creat a database of my phone messages (SMS).
I have them on a .txt file and I would like to create on ACCESS (or other program) the fields "Date:" "From:" "Message:", etc.
So, everytime I introduce a day, all sms sended on that day appears, or, when I introduce a Name, every message from that person, appear.
Is that possible? Of course that I want to convert it, not introduce one bye one because I have around 2000 messages...

Thank you very much

This is a example of the .txt file I have:

Converting Minutes

Oct 12, 2004

I have time sheets from the past I need to enter but have found that some years the time punch minutes are given as if an hour equals 100 minutes not 60. Other years the minutes are given correctly. How do I format this field so that if I type 3.75 it will convert to 3.45 hours? Will I have to add another field to enter this and then convert to my field where hours and minutes are correctly entered? :confused:

Converting Iif To Case

Oct 10, 2006

Hi here is the original code

MAX(IIf([Book]='C',[Score]," ")) AS CScore,
Max(IIf([Book]='C',[PercentileScore]," ")) AS CPercent,
Max(IIf([Book]='C',[PassFail]," ")) AS C,
Max(IIf([Book]='D',[Score]," ")) AS DScore,
Max(IIf([Book]='D',[PercentileScore]," ")) AS DPercent,
Here is what I thought may work, but it seems like there should be an easier way
Case when Max ([Book]) = 'C' then [Score] else null as CScore,
Case when Max([Book]) = 'C' then [PercentileScore] else Null as CPercent,
Case when Max ([Book]) = 'C' then [Passfail] else Null as C,
Case when Max([Book]) = 'D' then [Score] else Null as Dscore,
Case when Max ([book]) = 'D' then [PercentileScore] eslse Null as DPercent,

Thanks

Converting Null Value To $0.00

Mar 3, 2008

Hi All,

I have a table that has fields that captures dollar amounts. I have these fields set to a default value of "0".

The tables are updated via a query that imports a csv file. Once the import process has finished, my table has blank values in some of the fields that capture dollar amounts.

If a field populated by the csv file is left blank, I would like for the field to show $0.00.

How would you recommend handling this?

Converting MDB To MDE Gives Error.

Jul 28, 2005

When trying to convert my MDB database to and MDE database I get the following error pop-up...

"Microsoft Office Access was unable to create an MDE database"

I am using 2003 and the database is tiny at about 6 tables, 10 forms, 100 controls.
