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.
I have 30+ queries (or table columns) I wish to export to txtfile files that I need to be able to replace each time the table and / or queries are updated.
This is the code I've used but when I run the macro the error message is that the FreeFile is not a valid outside procedure. The code debugs without issues up to but not including the macro.

Dim strFile As String

Someone decided to be clever and send a text file with a stupid date format, is it possible to show off a little here and get a working date format, it's a text file I am working with: Dec 18 2014 01:12PM.
Not that is an exactly cut/paste so spaces are as they are here, ideally would like to get 18/12/14 13:12.
I created a simple macro using the Export with Formatting action to export a table from access to excel. The dates in the excel file are not in the original format of the dates in the access file.How can I save the date and other formats when I export an access table to excel ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to export a .dat file with delimited format (using ";")
I have tried the following:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "ED File", "Employee Data Output", "c: estfilesfile1.dat", False, ""
But when I execute the code the following error is shown:
Run-time error '3027'
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only
Using the same structure "DoCmd.TransferText" but with the .txt extension in the file works perfect.
Also I have tried export the .dat file using DoCmd.OutputTo, but even if the export is done, the format is not kept.
How can I export the .dat file keeping the delimited format needed?

Hi All,
I need to export an access table to text file automatically. It would be helpful if this could be done by some commands or a batch file etc..
I have 60 access tables. I need to export the data to one single text file (if not possible I dont have problem in exporting to 60 different text files).
This needs to be done daily. So I need a faster way. I cannot use any softwares since I dont have any budget for that. But If there is any source codes I could Look at it would be more helpful.
I am trying to export a text file from access. I know how to do it using the export wizard and it pretty much works with my VB code except 1 thing. I need the header column exported as well. There is a check box to include that in your export while using the wizard. When I save the specs and do it using the VB code everything works except it does not include the header row which I need. Is there a way to include this row without having to go through the wizard?
Here is my current code that works(except the header).
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "Amazon Spec", _
"Amazon SQL Export Query", "C:Documents and SettingspctesterMy DocumentsAmazonMorningside.txt"
I would like to export each record of an access table to a separate text file and use one field of each record as the source for the file name of each exported text file.
Does anyone know a way of dong this?
Hi members,
I have two empty columns in my access database whose total width is supposed to be 385 chars (255+130). I am trying to find a way to be able to export this blank field with a total of 385 blank spaces onto an ASCII text file.
A sample row looks like this:
L ***** 385spaces needed here ***** 888888 EXAMPLE DEALER NAME 1234 EXAMPLE LANE EXAMPLE ADDRESS LINE 2 EXAMPLE CITY CA88888 80088812348008881234FORD JOE DEALER NAME 8008881234
After the first letter L in position 1, I need to have 385 blank spaces and then at 387th place I have some other data to follow.
I tried a lot to use the export wizard, but it doesn't help. Is there a way to do this?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Anyone have any idea how i would be able to export a single cells content (from a query) into a txt document without headers or extras?

Any Ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi I created an access with a picture I copied from the internet. When I run the report in Access, I can see the picture but when I export the report to a text file, the picture is lost. Is there anyway I can have the picture everytime I export the report to word format ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a query with VBA, then exporting it to Excel. I have a couple calculated date fields that are exporting in the format of dd-mmm-yy, but I want them in the mm/dd/yyyy format. In the query, they're in the proper format, but not in the export. I tried using Format([DateField],"mm/dd/yyyy"), but then they left align in the export, but are fine in the query.

I am working on a website which has over 1000 pages that has the same code, but only a link that is different on each page. So, I thought that I will create a database and work my way from there. I was able to work the code and combine everything. Now would it be possible to export individual record from a query to a file with .html extension? If not, .txt will work as well. However, I want to have another field that would have the file names and the file is saved under that name.The query name is "Code Query" and the field name is "Final Code".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 3 queries that provide the same printer information. Each one is queried by a different field: IP address, asset tag, and serial number. This may not mean anything in the long run, though I figured it is worth mentioning.
The users need to be able to quickly query a printer utilizing one of those criteria and then copy and paste it into our ticketing system. Is there a way to automatically export the record from the query to a text file? I have extensively searched online and have tried to come up with something but I have found that I don't know where to start. This is the code for the query:
Code:
Dim intCount As Integer
intCount = 0
If DCount("Location", "Phone numbers Query") > 0 Then
intCount = intCount + 1
DoCmd.OpenQuery "", acViewNormal, acReadOnly
[Code] .....
I have successfully put together some VBA code that will accept a user's input into a textbox on a form. A cmdFindprinter button is clicked and the query is ran. The user is asked via an inputbox for their login ID so that the query is exported to a text file on the desktop. The query then pops up in a new tab and also automatically exports the queried record to a text file on the desktop. I have upward of 30 users using this form at any given time and I need the following automated.
What I would like to do is to have the text file go into a specific format. For example:
IP address:
Serial number:
Location:
The name of one of the queries is "Xerox IP Query", the field names would be "IP Address", "SerialNumber", and "Site Name".
This is what comes up in the text file right now:
"CXF345946","157.229.243.58","123 Happy Ave"
I'd like to remove the quotes and have the info fall into place as shown in the example above.
This is the code so far:
Code:
Private Sub cmdFindprinter_Click()
On Error GoTo cmdFindprinter_Click_Err
Dim strPath As String
userNT = InputBox("Please enter your NT ID", "ServiceBase Xerox Printer Query", "Enter your NT ID")
strPath = "C:Users" & userNT & "DesktopPrinterQuery.txt"
If Heading = 0 Then Exit Sub

A little background. I need to export the results of a query I use to build a report. For Print Master software I need the "Field Names" in the text file as well as the data for a Mail Merge in Print Master (PM).
"The field name information in the file you have specified is missing or not correctly formatted. The first line of the file must contain the database field names. Make sure the "Export Field Names" (or similar) option is selected in the program from which you are exporting data."
Trouble is, when trying to export the report or query, Access has no "Export Field Names" option. It works if I first export to Excel and then from Excel to "txt" then to Printmaster. I would like to eliminate the Excel step. Therefore, how do or can I get Access Export to transfer the "Field Names" along with the field data?
I am trying to export a table (and possibly later a query) into a fixed width text file and I am not finding where to set the specifications. When I select Text File in the export tab, I only get the check box about Export datq with formatting and layout. Is that basically it? I do have the table set up with the correct widths for the fields.
An additional question:
This is a large table with 99 fields for a total width of 804 characters. Is there any limit for the six of a record for such an export?
When using the carriage return how do I format the data so it will export with 2 decimals?
In the example below I need the Estimated Material Cost to export in in format: 500.00 --- NOT 500.
MTLCost: [Estimated Material Cost] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [C]
Hi,
I am trying to email a table in text format using :
DoCmd.SendObject acSendTable, "Table", acFormatTXT, , , , "Results", "Attached are the reslts"
It sends the file in text file format, but it adds "-" & "|" characters all over the file. Is there a way that I can send the file in simple "Comma Separated" file format.
Thx,
Jatz

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a table with below fields and content:

FDL00.... should be generated automatically, starting with 101 for 1st container and 201 for 2nd and so forth. The output should be in vertical manner.
I upgraded to Access-2010 and the Text File Import function will not recognize dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The import dialogue sees enough to recognize the field as a date, but then every date encountered is written to the Import-Errors table. This is true whether the file has a .txt or .csv extension. The actual file format is .csv.
