Here's my situation. I have a .txt file that I need to bring into Access. This .txt file is set up with records that are separated by semicolons.
I need to pull this information into Access and separate the data by the semicolons. I can open the file in Excel and separate the information by using Data --> Text to Columns --> semicolon (as the separator).
Does anyone have an idea how I can do this into Access.
Is there a way for a access to read the filenames of files contained in a folder on the local machine and paste
those filenames in a database field?
I see a lot of requests for this operation, but apparently .DB files are so general that sometimes it's impossible? Any all-encompassing program that can read files like this? I believe they come in different formats and are produced by a variety of different programs. The only thing I ever see though are files with [.db] as the extension.
If I open the one I have with notepad on a windows machine I see some of the info but some of it is not there and is garbled.

I am trying to use a Connection to an xlsx spredsheet to read in a table of information (the data is not a table, just laid out in a table, see attached, the one I am trying to load is xlsx not xls but I cannot for some reson upload the xlsx one on here)
I have the following declared:
Code:
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
my connection string is:
Code:
strConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & cstrFolder &
Chr(92) & tempSymbol & ".xlsx;Extended Properties='Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES';"
I open the connection which works fine:
Code : cn.Open strConnectionString
Now here I hit the problem, I have the following SQL string:
Code : strSelect = "SELECT * from [table$]"
The spreadsheet contains just 1 tab, named table so I think I am referring to the data correctly in my SQL string?
When I open the recordet for variable rs using:
Code : rs.Open strSelect, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
I get the error dialogue box:
The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'table$'. make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.....
I did a Debug.print to check the strConnectionString was correct and the Source is exactly correct and refers to the name of the file I am trying to access exactly.
I have been using a A2003 file through A2007 to be able to use user security.We are now in A2010 and the users and permissions component is not showing in the Administrator area as it did in A2007, although the security is still functioning. How do I get access to Users and Permissions in A2010?

I have created an Access database that stores a significant amount of information about our products. I have an excel spreadsheet that performs calculations on that data. I have used the import data from Access tool in Excel to import the data. The problem I have is when the excel spreadsheet is open no one can modify my Access database.
Is there a way to have Excel open and still be able to work on the database in Access? When the user on Excel needs updated information they can just hit the "refresh" button and everything up to that point that has been done in Access will update. I do not want Excel to be able to manipulate or change any values in my Access database.
I am using Access 2007....
I am in need of consultation for MS Access reading data from ODBC connection. I have SQL Server that has all the data for the project financials etc.
I need a database that will read only certain data from the tables, for example, I don't need to import all 500,000 lines from SQL through ODBC connection, I just want to bring certain data for a list of projects whichever are opened and load only that data in MS Access so the group then can add additional details for that project in a shared MS Access.
Right now, all I can do is connect to that database through ODBC and brings all the data which I don't need all as it increases the size of the database, but just a criteria to specify which data to bring, if that's possible to do.
I have always had solid read access to the Windows registry running on Windows XP with Access 2007. I am utilizing code from here in a separate VBA Module to obtain access to the Windows registry:
"Change registry settings in VBA"
[URL]
On Windows 7 x64 / Access 2010 x86, I am seeing a 0 value in lngKeyHandle. Also, m_lngRetVal has a value of 2 after the RegOpenKey LOC.
Code:
' --------------------------------------------------------------
' Query the key path
' --------------------------------------------------------------
m_lngRetVal = RegOpenKey(lngRootKey, strRegKeyPath, lngKeyHandle)
' --------------------------------------------------------------
' If no key handle was found then there is no key. Leave here.
' --------------------------------------------------------------
If lngKeyHandle = 0 Then
regQuery_A_Key = vbNullString
m_lngRetVal = RegCloseKey(lngKeyHandle) ' always close the handle
Exit Function
End If
I have verified that I have the key successfully in the registry... installed via the .reg file that works on Windows XP / Access 2007 systems.
I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
I have a button in the form of the current access file. What I want to do is when the user click on the button,
triggered the vba to backup current access file. But since the file is currently open, is this possible? If yes, may I know how to do it with vba?
I have tried two methods but failed:
1) Use copytofile method, but I get permission denied due to file open;
2) Use dbengine.compactdatabase method, but it also has problem if the file is open.
I'm experimenting with MS Access, and I've successfully split an MDB someone created into two files. I can access the database from 2 computers at once using the front end file connecting to a file server which hosts the _be.mdb file.
Could the _be.mdb file theoretically be on a NAS without any computer attached, or is there some runtime or full version of Access that needs to run on the machine with the back end file?

Hi Guys,
This might be pretty simple, but I haven't found anything on it (might not have looked hard enough!). What I am trying to do is scan a barcode label that I created in Access, when this is scanned, it goes to a table and opens the record that contains this ID and allows me to enter further data in this record. The further data will be data capture from a balance, which works fine if you select the location where the data is to go (using the mouse), what I need is for this location to be automatically accessed when I scan the barcode, hope that makes sense.
Also, is there any way in Access to either prevent data in a table from being changed once it is entered, or alternatively to mark the data as changed/edited from the original input?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am working on searching my customer number in my billing table and finding the appropriate customer and then pass the customer number onto my shipping table to find the corresponding shipping data to go with my billing data. My problem is this :
When I find my customer in my Billing table ( searching through field0 = CustomerNumber)and then select it, it won't pass the customer number to continue to search field0 in the shipping table for customers that have a # in any of the cell values of the recordset.
Is there a work around for special characters in cell data ie) #
Any sugestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, Im working on a DatABase at the mo that is heavily featured around forms - the problem is I dont have a clue about how the code side of it is structured in access. I know a lot about visual basic, and I've been having pot shots at how to do this, but with no success...
How do I read the value of an object from a subform with macros? Lets say on my main form I have a textbox called 'ExampleTXT' - to read a value from the text box would be simple...
Code:msgbox Me.ExampleTXT
but on this form I also have a subform, which contains an array of textboxes (they link to a seperate table, so there can be any number of these textboxes) and they have the name 'ExampleARR'. How do I read the values from these? I have tried the following code (like I siad, these are random stabs in the dark) but I have had no success...
Code:msgbox Me.ExampleARR--msgbox Me.ExampleARR(0)--msgbox Me.SubFrm.ExampleARR(0)
PLEASE HELP!
I am very new to Access and I am not a programmer at all. Something in my program changed and I am stuck on how to correct it. When I look at the front end everthing looks fine. When I look at the back end one of my fields are no longer reading correctly. I get the message error code 2465
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a command button on a Access 2010 form that i am using as my switchboard. On this form i have a hidden unbound text box that captures the users environ"username". When the user hits a command button on the form the code looks at the name in the hidden textbox that captures the environ"username" and then DLooks up a table to see if there is a match. If yes then it will open the next form and if not then a message box appears.
Code:
Private Sub Command6_Click()
Dim TxtUsername As String

DoCmd.OpenForm "Bakerloo_Main_Form"
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox "You do not have permission to access this database"

This works fine apart from the fact it will only read the first name entered in the table. This table(TblAccessUsers) could have up to 50 names in it and possibly have names removed and re added at a later date. Is there a way i can get the code to look up every name in the table ??

I just added security to my access application...
I have added a new user and gave all admin rights. Removed all permissions from Admin and Admins group. When I log on as this new user who is equivalent of Admin,
I am able to doubleclick the table(linked table) and modify/delete the data..but when I the form is executing, it says, "Records cannot be read, no read permission on <Table>"
Hope someone can answer my question.
Thanks very much.
I have a DB with tables where the primary key fields are autoincremented, but with formatting applied.
Formatting is for example "CC"000000 so record 1 will be CC000001.
(each table has a different alpha prefix)
This works fine, except the database content is being read by another application, and it sees only the 1, 2, 3 etc.
Exporting the data to Excel format proves that this is due to Access not the other application.
However, if I export to Excel format, and tick the "Save Formatted" option, the data exported is as I require, CC000001, CC000002 etc.
Is there a setting or way to make Access present the data when it is read by another application to be the 'formatted' version of the data?
