View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a strange issue where im importing an excel using docmd.transferspreadsheet. I have a memo field which is importing fine and is not being truncated but I have another which is being truncated every time. The destination field is set to memo and the top cell in the excel is over 255 chars yet it still truncates. The other column does not truncate for some reason.

Hello folks
I am developing a basic Fault Logging system so I have a main form that allows ref to be input, date fault raised, priority, etc... I also have a sub form running that allows notes to be input. There is no set limit on the number of notes that can be added as this needs to be flexible. A relationship is set up so that the Fault reference will be tagged to each of the notes. What I need is a query (I'm guessing that is the best way to do it) that will gather all of the standard fields fromthe main form and also all of the note fields (it will need to return null values in notes fields). Preferably I would like all of the notes fields to concatenate into one field with a line break between each note. The concatenation process would have to be flexible and dynamic as there is no predetermined limit to the number of notes that will have to be joined together.
I'm relatively new to Access and having searched the forums and tried a few ideas can't find anything that I can adapt to my situation. Any ideas/guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I have a query tool that allows users to create their own custom queries. Basically, it's a form that allows the user to check boxes for the fields they want to see. The code behind it simply hides the fields in the query for which the user has not checked the box. That works very well.
My problem is I would like to have a command button that will export the query to excel. The OutputTo and TransferSpreadsheet commands will just export the whole query into excel regardless of whether or not the field is checked. I'm looking for a way to only export the columns the user has checked. Is this possible, and if not is there a workaround that would do something similar?
We have a report that is generated monthly to management on Excel. We Export the data from an Access query to Excel and at that time the user has to update the Month Reported and Year Reported fields on each record within that query.
Can I set up something to where the user can click a button or something and Access do all of this automatically?
Example: May 2005 was just sent out and we exported the data from the query to Excel and went back into the query and chose update query and had Access fill in May (in the month reported field) and 2005 (in the year reported field) on all of the records.
Any help is appreciated, thanks...
First off I apoligise if this is a clear answer. I have looked on the internet for the last two days and can't seem to find this anywhere, either that or I am just entereing the search parameters in wrong :confused:
I have filtered selection in a form which I want to export to excel.
Simple enough ;) : Created a macro with the export to command. This dus everything I want to do.
Well not quite. :rolleyes:
How do I select the fields I want to export.Something like Select Id, name, adres from query soandso
Hopefully there is a simple solution to this. If there any existing posts. Could you post the link for me.
Thank your for your time,

I'm learning Access by myself and i have some problem with exporting a multiple value field to an excel.
I have a field name "Users" in a table wherein this field is a multiple value field and looku up the value from the other table. When I export the table to excel, the data in the multiple value field does not export properly and it just shows some symbol in the excel.
Is there something wrong with my field?
My database only has one table of data so it's not complicated.I would like to create a form that can create customisable Excel exports of the data based on set conditions and exporting only select fields. URL...I have one table of data (tblCustomers) which contains all of the fields in the box above.
I would like export the data from the table to excel showing only the fields that are ticked in the box (frmCustomReport).The check boxes are named chk then whatever the field name is eg. chkLocation, chkStatus. The labels are the names of the fields in tblCustomers. Is there a way to do this in SQL or VBA?
I have information held in 3 different tables and I would like to extract this information to three different tabs in a singe Excel workbook - preferably in one step.
My access knowledge is fairly basic but I have been looking online and I can only find out how to do it using a VBA script - which is quite terrifying! Is there a simple way to do this?
I am using Access and Excel 2007. This Db is for a mental health practice to track and store the paper questionnaires that the patients fill out. The data then needs to be exported to Excel so that it can be imported into a proprietary software that analyzes the data and recommends treatment plans. (It does NOT play nice with Access, forget it.) There are many forms and all of them are fine and export to separate worksheets no problems.
Now for the problem child: One form has 493 fields. Obviously I could fit that into two tables, but it seemed cleaner to use a main form and main table with the patient information (ID_Number, Name, Date, etc.), then tabbed subforms and separate tables for each “section” of the questionnaire (School, Work, Home, etc. There are 11 tables/forms in all.) These tables are all related by the ID_Number. The problem is the export. I need all 493 fields to write to one worksheet in order. This would of course involve removing the ID_Number field from all the tables except the main one. A query obviously can’t handle that many fields. VBA I can TransferSpreadsheet but then each table goes to a separate worksheet.
I’m thinking maybe calling some SQL code that will drop the unneeded fields and keep appending the data to the worksheet one table at a time? Of course the rows would somehow need to be defined WHERE ID_Number = ID_Number so that the same patients information is all on one row.

I have to import a table into a government database. I've got the data lined up in a table and exported to csv. The problem is that the government database doesn't allow empty fields, or the commas created by empty fields. The empty fields are create by criteria that changes with each employee. Is there a way to get rid of them without manually deleting them? I would imagine there is but can't find anything about it or maybe I don't see the forest for the trees? Sample csv below with surplus commas.

I have two tables identical with all text fields within the same database. One table I export as a csv, delimited with commas separating my fields and quotation text qualifiers. Where the fields are blank there are text qualifiers as well ("" - begining and ending quotations). This is what I need. The second table is exporting as a csv, delimited, commas separating the fields with text qualifier as ""- begining and ending quotations, EXCEPT the blank fields are not putting the text qualifier, and I need it.
First Table: *What I need*
"142358", "PK", "15132678", "", "123.45"
Second Table: *What I need to fix and do NOT want*
"142358", "PK", "15132678", ,"123.45"
I've been using a series of 5 tables to export an XML file using Access's native XML export. In order to keep the XML intact, there are relationships setup to link each sets of elements together via an ID number(link) field in each table.
Access does a great job at exporting, but then we need to rely on another program to delete these link fields that links the tables together so our XML validates. Additionally, we use this program to reorganize some of the XML, as one of our tables puts itself at the end of the XML element and not in the middle where it should be. This is not a problem when I'm dealing with a few hundred records, as the 3rd part program does the trick. The problem is when I have enough data to generate a 30+MB file that my other program chokes on when trying to manipulate the XML.
So my question is...how can I export these 5 tables to XML while omitting the linking member fields and organizing it how it should be? I have examples of code below. How Access Exports it
Code:
<MASTER-RECORDS>
<RECORD-ID-NUMBER>5648743524654</RECORD-ID-NUMBER>
<RECORD-ID-NAME>JOHN SMITH</RECORD-ID-NAME>
<link-for-pseudonyms>123456</<link-for-pseudonyms>
<PLACE>USA</PLACE>
<DAY>MONDAY</DAY>

I have the form (PROJECT DETAILS) that displays a specific record's information, one record at a time.I would like to click a button to export 5 specific fields (name, phone, address) of that form ("Project Details"), based on the PK "AssignNr", and then insert those fields in an already created Excel form that has those fields blank, but other fields filled in.
And then, as part of the same macro, I want to have the Print pop-up come up in the Excel form to select where/how that file will get printed.I've tried exporting from the Project Details form, but it exports all the records. And then I am not sure how / where to code the vlookup formula (if that's even necessary) to take the data from the exported file, into the existing Excel form that needs to be filled in.
Can this even be done in one macro, or do I need to create two - one to export data from Access to Excel. And then another in Excel to vlookup the details from the exported file, into the existing Excel file.
It would be nice if I didn't have to put in what the vlookup criteria is. (i.e. AssignNr (which is the PK)) - if it could just be taken from the PROJECT DETAILS form's current record selection.
Hello! I have a problem resulting from some previous issues I had with a memo field, and you can see the original problem here: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=464184#post464184
I'm starting a new thread because I have a somewhat unrelated problem with the same query. I have a memo field that has quite a few characters...as many as 15,000 characters or more! After running some commands to trim the spaces out of the memo field, I'm trying to export a query with the memo field to a text file. The query is a Select query that matches the memo field with the appropriate order detail from another table where each record has the same order number. All of the tables are actually links to tables on a SQL server.
The query works perfectly. But, when I try to export as a tab-delimited text file, the memo field gets truncated after about 512 characters or so. To clarify my steps, I am right-clicking on the query, select Export, select a Text file from the drop-down box, then select Delimited, Tab, Include Field Names on First Row, and the Text Qualifier is {none}. Please help me! I am using Access 2003 SP2. Thanks so much in advance!!
I am using Excel and Access 2010.
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?
Hi All,
Being a newb, have a hopefully straightforward question. I'm writing a vehicle management database which covers eleven seperate areas. The data is currently contained in a spreadsheet with eleven seperate data sheets, one for each area. My thinking is I use linked tables as the spreadsheet needs to be occasionally updated.
My difficulty...
If I want to cycle through all records, I assumed I could query against all tables but don't seem to be able to.
The tables are not currently linked in any way and contain fields such as registration, emissions, list price, make and model and so on.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Q :)
I have a table that contains about 75 fields. Each field is going to be a Lookup field that will allow the user to enter multiple values. This is for a home inspection service. So the first field name will be ExteriorShingles. The user clicks the dropdown arrow, and is allowed to select multiple values such as "loose", "missing", "rotted" etc... I was wondering if there is an easy way to import all these values from my Excel spreadsheet, or do I have to enter each one individually, which is going to be a lot of work.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi want to export a table to excel , open this file and execute a macro from another file.

Dim XL As Object
Set XL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

I have a table, which contains many fields, around 90. Out of these 90 Fields, around 40 will be imported from an Excel sheet, which has same headers as the 40 field names in my table, in which they have to get copied.
So when I import data, it copies them as new records, instead what I am looking at is, the records in Excel and in Access table has a Unique Key, so when I import data, matching with this unique key, the fields should be overwritten into those records from Excel, instead of adding new records.
E.g:
Say I have 2 records in my access:
ID(auto generated) Fab_name Issue_ID Location Remarks Data_1 Data_2 Data_3
1 Fab1 193 NY Bug OC DC MC
2 Fab2 641 DRS Error AC KC FC
Now when I am importing data from Excel with the following records:
Fab_name Issue_ID Location Remarks
Fab1 193 NY - GRM Solved
Fab2 641 DRS - SGP Forwarded
So when I import the above data into my Access from Excel, based on Issue ID, it should update the values of different fields that are imported from Excel, leaving other fields (data_1, Data_2, Data_3) as it is.
And I need this to be written as a macro, so that user just has to choose the file, which he has to import.
I linked an Excel table and now, in both the table and report, the cell is limiting itself to 255 characters, even though the Excel cell has more. I checked the "data type" and it says "memo" but it keeps truncating to "text".
Where is this limit coming from and can I change the linked table so it won't truncate the text?
thanks :confused:
