Tables :: Export Table To TXT File Without Hyphens And Pipes?
Feb 23, 2013
I need to export a table to .txt.
I need to have the field names as well as the records.
Some records are part numbers with a leading zero like 043095.
Some records are part numbers with dashes and alpha's like 123456E-789.
I don't think I can use .csv because some records have a part number description uses comma's like "some text, more text, even more text".
I don't need all the hyphens and pipes for the grid work.
The problems I have so far are:Exporting to .txt without formatting doesn't bring over the field names (I know they made it this way) Is there a work around other than exporting the data and then adding all the field names in with a macro in Excel? I can do it but, what a pain.
I see dropping of leading zeros = 43095 in .txt and .xlsx
Exporting to Excel sometimes scrambles the part numbers and they come out like this 5.91E-09 when it should be 123456E-789 (so I'm losing data).
Exporting to Excel also puts qoutes in the description field like "A very large part" (extra clean up necessary).
easiest way to get rid of the hyphens and pipes and leave it in .txt form?
Hi, I want all the tables of my database to export to a zip file when the users exit the database. this will serve as a sort of a backup of the data. Is this possible? if so, how?
I need to output my Access Database as one XML File. My issue is I need to have two tables mapped back to one table. When I try to nest them, one table is nested as it should be, but the other one is just added on the end of the file; not nested like I need it to be.
Board Stacks is the upper end Table. Calibration and Station_Captesters needs to be nested inside it. On top of that, I also want to add they lower two tables in series.
What I would like to achieve via code on a button. From the table orders
Code: orderDate orderID ref name amt vat 02/02/2014 56789 01 magdi 600 100 22/06/2014 12122 01 magdi 654 100 22/06/2014 65897 02 simon 250 159 22/06/2014 12345 02 simon 156 140 23/07/2014 56781 01 magdi 400 250 01/08/2014 12457 01 magdi 250 900 01/09/2014 56787 02 simon 126 500 02/09/2014 56781 04 peter 400 250 02/09/2014 12345 02 simon 450 122 02/09/2014 65897 04 peter 250 231 02/09/2014 12122 05 hargr 654 100 02/09/2014 79457 05 hargr 254 200

When I use the latter line, which uses the query in the "tablename" parameter an error msg that pops up complains that "MS Access database engine could not find the object, make sure the object exists, you've spelled it correctly..." etc.
Should I be using a different Do.Cmd or acExport thingy?
I guess I can always write a select into newtable without the first column and then carry on with the line that works, but I also want to understand what I am doing wrong.
I have a table of trainees. One of the fields of that table is 'authorized trainer' (YES/NO) tick box. What this allows me to do is query the trainees table based on who is an authorized trainer, and who is not. I have a table of called training, that records information about training a trainee has completed. One of the fields of this table is a lookup that looks up all the trainees from the trainee table who are authorized trainers, so that I can also record who conducts each trainees training.
As you can see from the table the listbox field for trainer shows both the last, and first name of the trainer.I now need to export the table to an excel file, but when I do, only the second name of the trainer is exported. Is there a way to export both the first and last name?

Managed to export a table to csv file. The problem I now have is I need to add the following Text at the start of the file:-
H,LKJ85485524,DE
and the new last line :- T,whatever the record count is,2
Whether this info is added before or after export is not important.
I have even resorted to using VBA to create an Excel spreadsheet and saving to csv.
Thought this had cracked it however I had surplus commas at head and footer where the original csv file had additional columns (ok manually delete these comas) ,then found that the end of each csv line was missing a final comma that is needed by the recipient of the file.

I have inherited 1000 records which need to fit into new criteria selected from combo boxes and to do this individually by the forms will take forever so i want to copy and paste the data in the table, but when I do it doesn't fill in the form.
This may be a problem with the cascading script in the form as the fields fill in when I press f9 but disappear every time I open the form.Finally I eventually want to export the data as a table but displaying the text value rather than the key value.

I have a report that is generated daily that is a TXT file that is also the has the same file name each morning. One section out of this file is needed in a database that compiles and sends out reports to our customers. This section of the TXT file is variable in length, but is always preceded and ends with a specific text string that I can search for. It is also formatted in columns that are always the same width.
I currently have to hand enter this section into the database every morning. Not the easiest of tasks... I would like to get this automated.
Was wondering how i can import data from a file to a table in different fields. The data inside the file is described with the number of characters and space's between. The attached file has the data.
For example in the file attached, the first four characters represent a data like 'ticket number' and maybe the third line 6 to 10 charcaters represent 'name of a passenger'.
Now how do i import these data to a table into respective fields in a table.
I have a project that in Access. I'll be handling a survey file that will maintain answers per customer.

I've got an access table with six fields, all of which are text fields. I have set up an export specification file in order to export the table as a tab delimited txt file. However, when I export, the output file is not lined up in columns!

I've tried a manual exort, using the Advanced tab for my specifications, with the same results.
If anyone can lend some ideas or suggestions, I would be very thankful.
Thanks in advance..... looking forward to your replies!
