Reading Data From Access Database In Excel

Feb 9, 2015

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....

Reading Excel Spreadsheet From Access??

Sep 14, 2004

I am trying to connect to an excel spreadsheet and read it from access. What is the object naming scheme in excel?? I am trying to read "Sheet1" but I am getting an error. My final goal is to export a list of forms and queries list in the excel spreadsheet from one database to another. How do I know if I have "Excel 8.0"?? Here is my code:

Sub ImportForms()
Dim cnn1 As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rst1 As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strExcelPath As String

strExcelPath = "C:ModificationRequest.xls"
'Open and set recordset
cnn1.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & strExcelPath & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"

Set rst1 = New ADODB.Recordset
rst1.CursorType = adOpenKeyset
rst1.LockType = adLockOptimistic
rst1.Open "Sheet1", cnn1, , , adCmdTable

'Open Recordset and print test record
Debug.Print rst1.Fields(0).Value, rst1.Fields(1).Value
'Clean up objects
rst1.Close
Set rst1 = Nothing
cnn1.Close
Set cnn1 = Nothing

End Sub

General :: MS Access Reading Data From ODBC Connection

Feb 10, 2015

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.

General :: Access Data Export Into Excel As Data Linked To Excel

Oct 21, 2012

how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acLink, , "region", "F:DB PracticeBook1.xlsx", False, "region"

Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.

Modules & VBA :: Split Database - Reading Records

Jul 2, 2013

My database was working fine until I split the database and now I'm having issues with this function:

Code:
Public Function OpenFirstAttachmentAsTempFile(ByRef rstCurrent As DAO.Recordset, ByVal strFieldName As String) As String
Dim rstChild As DAO.Recordset2
Dim fldAttach As DAO.Field2
Dim strFilePath As String
Dim strTempDir As String

[Code] ....

It's getting stuck on the "strFilePath = strTempDir & rstChild.Fields("FileName").Value" line. The debugger says that there is no reord. The strTempDir is correct. I am assuming that the issue has to with linking to the database.

Reading A .txt File Using Access

Nov 16, 2004

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.

Tables :: Data From A Database To Create Excel Spreadsheet

Aug 15, 2014

I'm exporting data from a database (using a query) to create an excel spreadsheet. I then import said spreadsheet into a new database. I was hitting lots of problems (subscript out of range, violating this that and the other etc etc) which I cleared up and actually imported the data. Well today I cleared down the new database and imported the spreadsheet again and got this.

the contents of fields in 0 records were deleted and 0 records were lost due to key violations.Thereby followed what to do when you get these things happening.Now to me 0 records deleted and 0 records lost means it's all worked. WRONG!! No records were imported at all.

Database Setup: Use Access Or Excel

Sep 5, 2006

I have just begun learning MS Access and have some information already in an excel spreadsheet that is getting too big and I am trying to decide if converting the whole thing would be beneficial or jsut a waste of time.

The issue is the current excel file is a workbook of about 150 separate worksheets that are all hyperlinked to each other. It does everything I want, but I feel like it is getting to big and cumbersome and really all I want is to add one sheet/record and have all the totals/averages/"reports" update themselves. That is why I think Access might be better. Currently it takes a good minute to update the file when saving. The Excel file is about 13mb.

The data is basically all times from a mens & womens cross country team. I have one form I take to each meet and record mile splits, places, final time, etc. Then I return and currently put those times into excel. I have 4 years of data for each runner. I also have 10 years of team data that needs to be able to be recalled usefully. My spreadsheet also looks through all past meets and keeps a list of the top 50 times for both men and women. And compiles every practice/workouts for the past 8 years, etc. Plus a lot of other sheets/forms/reports/.

I started a database and have one table for Athletes, one for MeetEntry. I also created a report for the meet entry to send to media. I then started working with relationships between different tables and became overwhelmed with how to best set up the entire database. I came up with a list of things and organized them into what I thought would be best suited for Tables vs. Forms vs. Queries vs. Reports. With the limited info, any ideas on setup would be appreciated. Maybe I just leave it in Excel and forget Access.

I think with the complexity, this is much better suited to my needs but it may be just a bit over my head. I do not know an VB so that is also an issue.

Should Use Excel Or Access For Creating New Database

Aug 30, 2015

I am new to Access and somewhat OK with Excel.I am working at a government institution, agriculture sector. We have field staff of ~150 doing different field ranges ~350. Some officers are assign to more than one field BUT no field is assign to more than one officer. (these fields belongs to different Districts, number of fields in each district is not the same)

we have four different programs namely new cultivation program (NPP), productivity improvement of existing lands (PIP), farmer capacity building (HRM) and post harvest handling (PHP). Each program has its activities lets say NPP1, NPP2, PIP1, PIP2,PIP3 etc. for an example NPP1 is land inspection, NPP2 is donating planting materials. these activities are predefined and sequential. (planting materials can not be donate without land inspection)

Officers send their progress to progress monitoring unit monthly which includes progress of each program and each activity progress for that month. My objective is to track, analyse, visualize officers progress.

These are the questions I have,As I am OK with Excel and NOT good with Access do you think I should use access for this due to any special advantage only access can give me.can I visualize data with Access?

Modules & VBA :: Reading Registry On Windows 7 X64 With Access 2010 X86?

Nov 22, 2013

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.

Creating Access Database From Excel Document?

Feb 22, 2015

I have attached the excel document in a zip file. Excel documents are not an authorized file type. This is going to be used for volunteers to input the shift and day they would like to work. I want to start by requiring volunteers to contact me and I will add them to the list of possible volunteers and I will give them a unique identification number.

When they contact me I will require all the information that is currently in the excel document (first, last, supervisor, ph number) I will then add them to a list of possible volunteers.

Then I would like a form they can access via sharepoint for volunteering what shift they can work. On this form it will have a box to input their unique id number and then select a shift from a dropbox (that has not been filled and auto populates). This will add them to the schedule.

Then I need a way to pull a report that shows all the volunteers and does not include their ID numbers.

As you can see the supplied document is full for March. I also have a second sheet that is blank for April.

I imagine there will be tables for

Volunteers (no duplicates in this list)
Supervisors (1 supervisor can be over multiple Volunteers)
Dates/Shifts (there are 2 shifts per day, there are 2 slots per shift)

Open Excel File Stored In Access Database

Feb 8, 2007

I need to open an Excel file that has been stored in the Access Database using the insert Object functionality of MS Access manually.

What i am aware of is that i cant just read the field containing the Excel File into a Byte Array and pass it to the Excel object in C#,as the file is wrapped in the OLE Wrapper used by Access while inserting the file in database.

I have tried locating the Header of Excel file from the byte array and read the file from there on but it is not working.

while (true)
{
if (0xE11AB1A1E011CFD0 == BitConverter.ToUInt64(byStream, i))
break;
i++;
}
output.Write(byStream, i, byStream.Length - i-1);

byStream is a byte array into which i have read the Excel file from Database.
I am locating the Excel file header in the byte stream and am writing the byte array to a file from that location.But on opening the written file it dosent work.
Similar approach had worked in case of Images but now in this case.

Can some one please tell me as to how i can open the Excel File.
Can I use Interop.Access object to achieve the goal??

Importing Excel Spreadsheet To Access Database Daily

Jun 1, 2006

I need some help on this one. :confused: I have two Crystal Report generated Excel spreadsheets that are auto-updated on a daily basis. One spreadsheet contains computer assets, type, model, locations, etc. The second spreadsheet has users assigned to them, phone numbers, etc. I need to import these in to existing tables with numerous filters into my Access database weekly. They don’t change a whole lot but I need the changes to be reflected in my database.

The way I have it setup now is through a linked table, then I use a “Make table query” to filter the data.

My problem is the filtered table has relationships set up that I have to delete then recreate every time I need to run the “Make table query” because it has to delete the old table first.

Is there a better way to make this happen?

Modules & VBA :: Convert To Excel Files And Import Into Access Database

Aug 7, 2015

I have files that have extension of TSV which are text files but viewable in exel. I figured out a way for the user to click on a button in Access which does the following

1. Run Macro in Excel: The macro prompts the user to select the TSV file. After selection, macro opens the employee.tsv file in the excel (with excel being invisible) and saves it as employee.xls

Code:
Sub SaveTSVtoXLS()
Dim myPath As String
Dim myString As Variant
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)

[Code] .....

2. Imports the Excel file (employee.xls) into two tables: tblEmployee and tblDepartment using the following codes.

Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryDepartment", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:C2"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryEmployee", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:AE2"

Everything is working flawless except that the user has to select the file three times:

1 time for the tsv
2 times for the xls file

Is there a way that the user can select the file only once (tsv file) or at least only twice one of the tsv file and the other for the xls file?

Combine Multiple Excel Sheets Into Single Access Database?

Jul 28, 2014

My goal in Excel was to combine them all into a single Pivot Table which I did. The issue is everytime I add a sheet I need to redo the Pivot Table, which would be a hassle as I will continually be adding sheets. I'm hoping that there is an easier way this could be done using Access. The individual sheets are emailed to me and then I put them into one Excel file, is there a way to take that Excel file with all the sheets and import it to Access and be able to sort the data as I would with a Pivot Table in Excel?

Data Taken From Access To Excel

Nov 16, 2005

I have a database that works as a sales system. From a table in the database I run a query that calculates the totals for that day.
i.e.

Date……….Dept 1…..Dep2
07/11/05…...£10………£10

What I need is:
1.You click a button
2.It copies the date and finds it in the excel spreadsheet as the sheet will already have a field called date.
3.It will then copy the Dept 1 figure and Dept 2 figure into the spreadsheet where the date matches (in a certain column)

Can this be done?

Kindest Regards

Please advise.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am not sure how complicated of a job this is, but we want to be able to import our daily recievals of inventory into our existing inventory database instead of entering it by hand. I try using the wizard, however when I get to "finish" it says there was an error and it was not imported.

I don't know much about access but I was hoping one of you could point me in the right direction.
