I have a very large query that I need to export to text. I'm hitting the 4GB limit, so I'd like to "split" the query and create two text files instead.
What's the most efficient way to do this? Also, are there any export file formats that can handle more data? (i.e. is there a format that could fit this massive query into a single file?)
I have some vba where I'm importing a text file and splitting it out into a table. For the most part its working just fine.
But I have a line of data that I need to pull out the string right after "Old" - Murphy and right after "New" ZMurphy
Acc# : 111111 This is test data, Person : 22222 Old Murphy New ZMurphy
I'm thinking Instr() could do this but I'm unable to get it to work.
I am using Access 2010...
Hi,
One one of my forms i'm using the following code on the After Update event of one of my text boxes.
Me.SD_Knownas = Left$([SD_FirstName], InStr(1, [SD_FirstName], " ") - 1)
What i'm trying to do is pull the firstname from a string of text. For Example my name is Pete James the above ode returns Pete. Perfect..
The problem is.. when i enter a name that for example Pete i get a runtime error 5?
Is there away to make it see if there is one name in the box and use that or if more than one just return the first part.
Regards
Pete
I have a group of part number doesn't come with a standard format. It is very tricky since some does come with some regular flow but some are not. Therefore i try to take 2 different sample category.
My idea is to split the LPN into 3 column eg. CIVUS (Type), 0.13(SIZE), BR (COLOR)
TRA_LPN TYPE SIZE COLOR
CIVUS-0.13-BR
AVS3.0G-B
AVSSH-2.0F-G
TRA_LPN
AGP0219-2.5-GY-O
FLRYY-4X0.75-B
V-R2-0.75-W
V-R2-0.75-Y
I have I table which is linked to a tex file. I created a code in which it will programatically refresh the linked, however, after the refreshed process is done, it always put the first record as a Field Header.
Can somebody help me what is needed inorder not to Access automatically use the first Record of the text file as a Field Header ?
Thanks :(

Hi!
I'm trying to import csv files into an Access 97 database, but the filename is different each time otherwise I would just use a commandbutton with the transfertext macro.
I've been searching for help to browse to a file and keep coming back to the same few pages but not being a programmer I can't figure out how to use the code.
Can anyone help me with simple instructions on how to do this?
Thanks.

Hi.
Without importing into Access, how can I append 1 text file to a second text file?
I am using XP.
Russ
All,
I have a database that I import text files to create tables. I ve been doing this awhile but now I have to pass it on to someone else to do and are trying to find a better way. this is what I've been doing: I import the text file into a new table. Then I copy and paste the data to the corresponding table. I know I can do an append query to do this but its about 12 text files I have to import into 12 different tables and I didn't want to take the time. I then run a query to combine and sum data from two different tables. The problem is that I have to copy and paste because if I import the text files directly into the corresponding table, the query don't run. I've tried change the field data type in the import wizard but it still doesn't work. My table datatype fields are: field1-text field2-number and field3-number. There is not field for number in the wizard but I use double as a field size in the design table so I select this in the wizard. I don't know how to resolve this other than spending time to create an append query or cut and paste. Please help
Thanks
I have an asp web page that allows a user to request information from an Access Database, the results of this request are then displayed on a second asp web page and finally the user can then select to view the individual results of the request on a third asp page.
For instance, a user can select all the registered names beginning with the letter 'A', the result of this request will be shown on page2.asp, the user can then select one of the names and the results of that request will be shown on page3.asp.
What I want to happen now is that on page3.asp I need to display some text, the amount of text is too long to put it directly in the Access Database, it needs to be in a separate file like a txt file or something. I need to know how to set up the field on the Access Database to call the text file and the asp code I need to use on page3.asp.
Any suggestions?
Dear All,
I need some help. I am writing a database for my new and small company. I receive internet orders from my ISP in an email. I want to find a simple way of automatically importing these emails into my "Customer Information" table.
The issue is that I have no control on the format of the email I receive from my ISP. The data is fixed width and stores the information horizontally rather than in columns. For example:
Quantity : 1
Price : GBP 199.00
Delivery : GBP 5.00
Total : GBP 204.00
I have been exploring the GetData option and using the advance settings to align fields. It seems (and I am not an expert user of Access) that the GetData function relies on the import source to be aligned in vertical columns rather than horizontally. This makes mapping the fields almost impossible.
Does anyone have a clever work-around? Either in Access or manipulating the data before it goes into the database?
Many thanks, Matthew (matthew@byatt.com)
I receive reports formatted as a .txt (flat) file.
Problem: I have to develop a process to manage the .txt files so the data can be separated into its own fields. The layout of the output is as follows:
Date Time User Status Customer Name ID#
06/04/07 15:51 MRF C PTRSNEEO,TBYET L 01234567
Closed By:MRF acvd per xx adv xx of prices on her xxxx XYZASSX
TBLTSXS 75ZZ 90/09ds &5.35 XMEPRAZLE CCC 20XX
90/90ds &2.15 UTZXLPIES EX CCC 100XX 90/09ds &2.15
TYERLXP 0.125XX (TPSDTRM) 90/90ds &2.15 MNTYIMPS
90/90ds &2.15 XYZCNITSASLS TTT 20XX n/s gave # to
call back mrf
1) The layout of the flat .txt file does not allow it to be parsed vertically.
I.e. Vertically: Date and Time overlap the Secondary User information.
The User initials are not aligned. Customer Name is directly over the documentation text and of a different string length.
When I try to "cut" the data by the main sections into columns (Date / Time / User / Status / Customer Name / ID#) to import into Access the text in the documentation fields is "cut" into those sections as well.
I want to be able to reconstruct the text sections that are split apart into a single "cell" that can be exported to Excel or used within Access.
2) Also, some records have 1 line of text, others 2...up to 8. Each individual line of text ends up in its own cell. How can I "code" Access to read to the end of the last line of text (last cell) of the record and then concatenate the text in those cells into one continuous string of text in a single cell?
At the end of each record in the report there is a space separating the records.
I realize this is long and complicated, but am lost and the volume of this type of work is increasing. Requests to IS to change the output of the system reports is low priority so I am stuck. Thank you for any help you may provide.
I imported a table into Access from a SAP generated text file. The integrity of the data is fine after import. I then created a new table from the original that has the exact same amount of records and has the same unique field, which is MATERIAL. The problem I have is when I join the two tables in a query, Access returns approx 140,000 records. I am doing a regular join, what could be the problem? Is it possible the table data types are not formated correctly, b.c I imported them all as text so Access would import all lines.
I look forward to anyone's response.
TIA

I am trying to import several txt from a directory.
The following code is on a button in a form:
Private Sub ImportData_Click()
Dim myfile
Dim mypath
mypath = "G:FinanceAccountingRoyalty2006exports3rd QTR 06JUL 06 est"
Do
myfile = Dir(mypath & "*.txt")
DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "import_data", "tbl_import_tables", mypath & myfile, False, ""
myfile = Dir
Loop Until myfile = ""
End Sub
The problem is this causes a infinite loop
Can anyone help?? Thanks
PS This code was from previous posting, where the transfer was excel files.
I am importing a field from and old DOS based data base where dates and text are mixed in the same field. The field can have either one of more dates or text. That is the possible entries in the field are:
(1) 12/12/2013
(2) 12/12/2013, 12/1/2013 or some other delimiter other than a comma
(3) 6 CDs
When I tried to import the field, I am finding that (1) results in a string of numbers which represents the date. The others are, of course, OK.What I am trying to figure out is if the first type occurs and I have 41640 it will appear as 01/01/2014. So, can you have mixed field types in the same field by using some custom formatting with an if (of Iif) statement and what would that be? Something like IIF(IsDate([FieldA], format([FieldA], short date), @) I just cant seem to get the right nomenclature or number of correct arguments.
I have been doing an exercise to split the data from the list of the information into column A, B & C. Unfortunately the data value that i have consist of several set of data format therefore it create an issue for me to separate the information in Access 2010 easily.
eg.
Original Data Field
FLRY-B-0.75-L-GY
FLRY-4.0-V-R
VTAC-GY 19X20
COT-F2-5-DL
Actual Data To Populate Into Column A, B & C should be the following :
A
FLRY-B
FRY
VTAC-GY
COT-F2
B
0.75
4
19X20
5
C
L-GY
V-R
(No data captured for this column)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a large Db Which contains A Couple of Memo fields which due to the amount of data being stored in the Memo fields is starting to show signs of slowing down.One table contains 75,000, with all memo fields above 255.I wont have a problem with adding the extra code but was wondering if there is anything that may cause me a problem or if there's any reason(s) why I shouldn't follow this path.Many ThanksMickP.S. One Option would be to create 1-1 Tables and move the memo fields into the new tables that way I would still have an easy way of serching but it would reduce the size of the main table also none of the memo fields are included in any of the querys used, the problem with speed seems to be adding data I have checked the indexs which seem OK I can't remove any indexes Otherwise it slows down searching ACT.A copy Of the DB Is available here but it is an 11Mb Download should anybody wish to take a look at the tables structure and be able to advise on any imporvments that would be great please remember it's designed to store very large amounts of data.http://chartheaven.9.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=107best wishesmick

Currently I have a code that imports a single text file into a table without problems.
I need to be able to selecte multiple text files and import them at once.
Here is my current working code.....
Code:
Private Sub Import_Click()
Dim strFilter As String
Dim strInputFileName As String
strFilter = ahtAddFilterItem(strFilter, "Text File (*.txt)", "*.txt")
strSaveFileName = ahtCommonFileOpenSave( _
OpenFile:=True, _
Filter:=strFilter, _
DialogTitle:="Please select new file...", _
Flags:=ahtOFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT Or ahtOFN_READONLY)
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "Import Specs", "Data Table", strSaveFileName, True, ""
I have a table [Employees] that has the field [FirstName] and [LastName]. On my form [Jobs], I have a combobox [ComboWho]. The combo box has all of the possible first names. When a first name is picked, it makes the last name fill in a textbox.
In the real version, it is a [LastName] is a lot of information, so it is kept in a memo field. I tried to use cascading combo boxes, but it cuts off my text.
I keep getting it to almost work... I've tried about 5 different methods... DLookUp, subform, etc.
Right now, I'm using this code:
Private Sub ComboWho_Change()
Dim location As String
Me.ComboWho.SetFocus
location = DLookup("LastName", "Employee", "FirstName = '" & Me.ComboWho.SelText & "'")
Me.MyTextBox.SetFocus
Me.MyTextBox.Text = location
End Sub
It has properly filled in the textbox. I thought it was working perfectly, but ran into one snag... We have been using a split form... and it won't let me filter that column (Column ComboWho). I think because it is saving everything as numbers instead of text.
ComboWhoDatabase.accdbI've attached a copy of the simplified database.
Hi all,
I've seen a lot of repeated questions from newbies about exporting to text, but so far I haven't come across a scenario like mine. Apologies if I've overlooked something.
I'm using Access 2003 and I have a database that contains a record for each article that appeared in a certain newspaper over the last 30 years (~70,000 records). Each record has a field for year, month, issue, page, title, and text. The text field contains multiple lines of HTML as well as the text of the article itself -- the program designed for viewing these articles calls on this field to create an html document that resembles the original newspaper page in the GUI.
What I would like to generate is a separate .TXT file for each article containing just the text of that article and a filename system that identifies each file by year, month, page, and possibly title (i.e., about 70,000 separate text files). I'm not sure if I want the title within the document or just in the filename, but I'm assuming that wouldn't be difficult to change.
In other words, I'm trying to work backwards, reconstructing the text files that the person who made the database probably has sitting on a disk somewhere (but I don't have access to).
I've read about using the TransferText method, setting up an export spec and looping it in VBA, etc., but the closest solution appears to be Microsoft's page on exporting records to separate HTML files (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA010345961033.aspx), which mentions: "You can create a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) program that enumerates through the record set and uses the PRINT statement to output each record as a separate HTML file." After doing this I guess I would batch convert from HTML to TXT. Unfortunately I am new to Access and don't know VBA.
Can anyone provide any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim
Hopefully this will be something new that someone will be willing to try since I haven't been able to find anything like this in the forum....
We have 7 pieces of equipment (routers/switches/encryptors) that all have large text file configuration data. What we want to do, if possible, is to create an option group and a memo block, so that when we click any one of the pieces of equipment in the option group, the text configuration file will display in the memo block and we will be able to save it as part of the record. Is this even possible or is there a better solution?
This would be the equivalent of simply using a command button to launch notepad with the configuration data.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Hello everyone!
Here is my problem:
I have an Access database that contains a table with three columns (A & B & C). Field A is for code values and field B is for the value for that particular code. Field C holds the case number. I have a folder that contains the information for over 5000 case numbers. Each case number needs to be placed inside of the table. Considering there are 5000 case numbers, I dont want to use the import wizard 5000 times.
Furthermore, the text file only has two columns (for A and B).
I am trying to create a VBA that will append rows to the table by going into each file and placing the information into the table. The first row for each file contains the case number. So when the VBA runs, it should open the text file get the case number from the first row (field B on the text file) and place that in the case number field of the table for the entire file; and then repeat this action for all of the files in the entire folder.
Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
