Skip Field In Export Specification
Nov 3, 2005
I run a query that I export out to a tab delimited file. This text file is used for another application. The problem I am having is if I select "skip field" in my text "export specification" it still exports out that piece of data, even though I have selected "Skip Field". The data type on this field is a number and field size is integer.
I thought I read in another access newsgroup that this is a known bug? Is that true? Is there a fix? I am anxious to fix this because, I have 90 query's that I export to text and I would hate to have to go to each query and select "Not Show" that field.
Help?

hi all,
i found this forum recently and always seem to find my answers on it, this is the first time i havent.. so. firstly i am using access '97 (work is soon to upgrade to 2003 - finally).
my problem is
i'm trying to export a query to txt file, which i'm doing by
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, eParcelSpec, "QryeParcelExport", "G: est.txt", False
the eParcelSpec i had to make via importing a text file, then on import text wizard, chose advanced, setup my field dilemeter to * and text dilemeter to none. this is saved and i can open it up going through the above process.
however when my docmd runs i still get the standard output with "fieldvalue" , "fieldvalue2". instead of the * and no comma
its important for this to be the other delimeters, as the exported file is going to be used in a posting company's program that requires a certain format to import shipping address information.
also, is there anyway to add lines to before the data is exported? i need to have a start of file and end of file characters before any data and after the data.
thanks guys

Ok,
I'm new to a particular access database that is having problems.
Basically, it is using transfertext to transfer a database to another file, at least as far as I know.
Unfortunately, it's hanging, and as best as I can guess, its because something in the export specification file is not quite right.
Can anyone offer me an explanation of how to edit an import or export specification file? The MS help seems to indicate that it stored in the database, but I haven't been able to locate the file that is specified in the vba code. Nor did I see it elsewhere in the folder where the database is stored.
Any help is appreciated.
-Jeff

I'm using Access 2003.
if I create an Import Specification, how do I add an extra field in the middle of the field list? All I can see to do is re-enter all fields from the new field downward.

I have a pop up window that maximizes and the need to format a Memo Field to users specification.
Unfortunately the Mini Popup Bar that comes up when you select text is very shy and annoying when it doesn't show up. It's Completely Unreliable.
So I thought I'll make the Controls on the form for Bold,Italic... etc but I can't seem to get the code to work.
My TextField is a Memo and I have changed the TextFormat to RichText, but I cannot use any of the commands like .SelBold or .SelColor etc.. It gives me a Compile Error: Member or Data Member Not found.
I don't understand why? Is there a Add In/Reference that I need to include?

Hi there,
Am hoping someone can shine a light on my problem as this has me ripping my hair out.
first off I've set up a subform in my main form to display a query using a linked table as the data(a excel exported csv file). nothing special.
however, I have had to use a link specification to determine how the table is linked. i.e. what fields should be defined as double (as access treats them as integers for some reason even though the numbers are too big!) and which fields need renaming.
without this link specification, the data will not be handled correctly.
ok no problem. I've had this working. The table links fine.
When i came to roll out the database, I set up the security in order that multiple resources can use it at the same time.
Now when I log in and use the form I get the following error.
'Text file specification <filename> does not exist. You cannot import, export or link using the specification'
Arrgh. :confused: I used the specificition to link the table in the first place! I've tried refreshing the link using the Link Manager, I've tried re-linking it and I've also tried linking the table and creating new specifications, all with no luck. I get the same message each time.
My next step is to import the data instead(again I'd need to use a link specification). But I'd really like to solve this as I can see no reason why it shouldnt work.
Can anybody help?

I have a database that gets updated twice per week. Using ASP, I am "publishing" this database to our company website to enable anyone within the company (here or aboad) to see the status of various tests. The problem I am having is: I am trying to get only "active" tests to show up (which I have working correctly) or tests that have been stopped or completed within the past 5 days. I have tried using: DateAdd("d",-5,Now()), DateAdd("d",-5,Date()), and neither have worked. Any suggestions on how to get this to work? I can't use a specific date to subtract from, because it may be a few days between the time I update and the time everyone has seen it.

i have a report that opens from a query that pulls from 8 different tables using the date as the primary key for each table. I want to be able to open my query without having to input a blank record for each date in each table. Basically I don't use every table everyday. Sometimes I just use 3-4 tables and others I will use all 8.

I have a report that is set up to count students in a class. Looks like this:
# Student Cert #
1 John Smith 12340
2 Joe Jones 12341
3 VOID 12342
4 James Adams 12343
5 Tom Arnold 12344
I want it to do this:
# Student Cert #
1 John Smith 12340
2 Joe Jones 12341
VOID 12342
3 James Adams 12343
4 Tom Arnold 12344
The row number is just a text box (=1) with the running sum turned on.
On this report I have to report all the certificates used for this class, in order. So I can't put the voided ones at the bottom.
I tried an IIF statement in the text box =iif([student]="VOID", "", 1)
This skips the VOIDs but starts over at 1 (no matter if it is set to "over group" or "over all"):
# Student Cert #
1 John Smith 12340
2 Joe Jones 12341
VOID 12342
1 James Adams 12343
2 Tom Arnold 12344

Hello,
I want to copy data from one table to another:
INSERT INTO Table1 (codeid) SELECT codeid FROM Table2 WHERE a=7
it works, but the problem occurs when diplicate entries occur in codeid of Table1 (because is is set to No Duplicates).
As a result no rows are inserted. It's OK, cause that's the way it should be, but I was wondering if there is a way to tell MS Access to skip insertion of values that will cause duplication. So the rows that are ok will be inserted and the ones that cause duplicates will be skipped.
I just don't want to go through the loop and insert row-by-row.
Thank you.

Currently, I have a button on my form that users can click on to generate a report based on the info from the form. Once the report has opened, they publish the form with MS Word for further edit if needed.
How do I set up the button so that it opens the report then automatically publishes the report with MS Word?

My form is always open and runs a timer event which runs a series of functions and procedures. I don't want to run a certain procedure on every timer cycle, but rather, every other timer cycle.
Any thoughts on how best to accomplish this. I'm having a mental block!

I have a form which displays the values of a table Vehicles. It has a control at the bottom of the form that allows you to toggle through the records, or enter a specific number of a record for it to jump to. It starts at 1.
I want it to skip the first 3 records in the table, and start at number 4. Is there a simple way to do that?

Put simply - when I do a find it displays the first account that matches it, then, when you leave the find screen and hit the "next record" key it simply displays the next account (i.e it no longer matches the search criteria).
So my question is,
How do I search records, then skip through ALL accounts that match the criteria.
example:
100 accounts in a database. 50 accounts are assigned "Mr A" and 50 "Mr B".
Mr A and Mr B sit down to work - hit find, and type in their name.
The form shows 1 account, and when mr A hits next fifty times it should not move on to mr Bs (possibly a "no more matches/records" message?).
I hope this is clear enough - and thanks in advance.
ps - I heard something about one form to search - and a subform to display results - the search criteria is static in form one, where as the subform can be skipped ("next record" pressed). But trust me - Im inexperianced :p and would need a nice newbie friendly description of such technological witchcraft.

I want to combine six different memo fields into one. I found this code and it works to combine two fields so I edited to add a third and it does not do anything.
Code:
Comments: [QAComments1] & IIf(IsNull([QAComments2]),"","; " & [QAComments2])
This is my edited code to add a third field:
Code:
Comments: [QAComments1] & IIf(IsNull([QAComments2]),"","; " & [QAComments2] & IIf(IsNull([QAComments3]),"","; " & [QAComments3]))
What am I missing to add the other fields?

See the attached png for sample records.
Many Regions, Many Towers, Many Countries and all..
Has to create a worksheet for Each Region-Tower and Paste the countries' records.
Private Sub Input_Click()
Dim Mainrset As Recordset
Dim Temp As Variant
Set Mainrset = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Query_Form")
Mainrset.MoveLast
Mainrset.MoveFirst
[Code] .....
The above code is not correct as some Tower/Process are not associated with some countries. Usually What I do is to loop through all the records and look for the changes in the field. Is that the only way?

When I run the following sql (in a query) I enter information once for [enter cty id]. and it all works fine.
What I would like to do now, is write the vba code so that the sql runs multiple times looping through a list of items.
For instance instead of the popup window asking "enter cty id", I'd like to automatically have the code loop through a list. For example a list of 1 through 10.
Then, in the loop vba code:
after item 1 is run, do an export of the results.
after item 2, do an export.
etc.
Code:
select a.south_index_id, c.cnty_cd, a.southwest_name_source_cd, sp.south_ssn, sp.estimated_birth_dt,
[a.LAST_NAME] & ', ' & [a.FIRST_NAME) PERSONNAME],
a.BIRTH_DT, a.GENDER_CD, sp.ms_pmi, cnty_person_id
FROM SW_alias_name AS a, SW_south_person AS sp, SW_county_pid AS c
WHERE EXISTS (select * from SW_alias_name a2 where ucase(a2.last_name) = ucase(a.last_name)
[Code] .....

i've been working on a sample database today that someone has written some vb code into, which enables the database to merge with some dialler software. basically it's just a hang up and dial button on a form for surveying people.
i've done ok extracting the code for the dial and hangup buttons, referencing the external file and getting my test database to interface with the dialler but it currently allows multiple users to edit the same record, which i need to stop it doing.
the guy that's done the coding says he's more of a vb programmer and not much use in access (he's definitely better than me!) but i should be able to insert some code that will skip to the next record if the record is being worked on with someone else.
i think the piece of code that i need is
Forms("Form1").RecordLocks = 2
the only problem is i don't know what else to type with it or where in the code to insert it.
