Tracking Changes From Imported Excel Document
Jun 14, 2013
I am Extracting that data into an excel document from the fillable PDF and importing into Access.... NOW. Here is what I am trying to figure out. I have to alert the field of major changes, SO I am wanting Access to compare the document I imported last with the one I imported just now. Example. I change my contact information, I need a query to find that the information I submitted last time, is not the same as what I just submitted. My issue is, I cannot get a vision for this database. I can import these documents to a table BUT I cannot compare these line items with line items of the same table...

I have a template letter in Word that I want to import into Access, so when I choose from a combo box an employee's ID, it automatically displays a report using the Word document template and filled with all related information of that employee (name, nationality, etc.) + it shows today's date. Then I can Save&Email to an Outlook contact.

I have impotred a table of my MP3 music collection from Excel in to Access.
The Fields it contains are: "Artist" - "Album" - "Track Name" - "Track No." - & "Duration"
I would like an option to be able to list only the Artist & Albums - However, when I try I end up with a list of duplicate values for the Album field (as these relate to track 1, track 2, track , etc...)
I'm sure there's a simple solution..
Can anyone please help....
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a table in Excel, and when I import the table in Access, some records from a specific field shows #Num! after importing, even before I imported the table, I selected the entire field in Excel and I Formated all cells to text.
The specific field hosts records in digit format[34222256], and sometime in mixed letter-digit format[M22228778], but are supposed to be as TEXT! After importing I see the first as #Num!, and the second as M22228778.
How can I get around this issue in Excel or Access.
Thank you!

I have imported an Excel spreadsheet into an Access database. In Excel, a line break in a cell is entered by ALT+Enter. After importing my spreadsheet, all my line breaks appear as "□" and the text all runs together (no line breaks) in the table. The "□"s are also printed in reports. I need a way to either (1) make the "□"s appear as line breaks (e.g., by changing some Access property) or to convert the "□"s to something that shows as a line break in an the Access table memo field (e.g., CNTRL+Enter). Can anyone tell me how to make this happen?
I've tried to copy/paste the "□" into the Find/Replace dialog, but nothing appears when I paste. I understand the memo field is unicode, but I have not been able to determine what the "□" character actually is. It is not the same as the only similar squared shaped character I find in the Arial character map (U+25A1: White Square). I can copy and paste the "□", if surrounded by some other text, e.g., "xxx□yyy", into a Notepad document and it shows up as "xxx□yyy". Pasting the same into a Word doc and I get
"xxx
yyy" with the line break properly displayed. I can copy and paste just the □ itself in Notepad.

I am having an issue with an Access import. It worked correctly bringing in a sharepoint spreadsheet until a date field was added to the spreadsheet and the structure to the database. Now it drops any additional fields that are added. At first I thought if I added a filler field after the field I needed that it would still drop the last field but it dropped them both. If I insert the field in the middle of the spreadsheet....(where I really want it). It drops the last field of the email address. Which I need to send out notifications. I have tried designing a complete new table and importing it, but it continues to do the same thing.
Not sure if my problem is with the spreadsheet or Access. Somehow it is still looking at the old structure when I import even if I create a new table. Not sure what is happening.

Attached in the ZIPPED file is an Excel spreadsheet.
Columns A is all numeric, and needs to be represented in access as a text field.
Column B is a mixed format of dates entered and in some instances only plain numeric. I need to import this column as is into a text field in access.
I tried importing the excel sheet, but the data gets changed.I tried to linked the Excel sheet but it also had an influence on the data.In both cases the influence of change is NOT throughout. Hence my need to get this spreadsheet into access as is.

The access file has a lot of rows which do not show on the excel file. The added files in access either have a space before their names, an * before their names, or no name at all. I would attach the new access file but it does not show up on my windows 7 list of files on my computer. It only shows up as a new file on my access program.

Access Database 2010 is used to capture progress on accounts. We are able to perform remedies on multiple accounts in the field and would like to update the records in Access all at once (by batch) rather than one-by-one.
I would like to export specific records from Access into Excel, make the updates to the records in Excel, then import the changes back into Access. I am looking for the updated Excel spreadsheet to overwrite the existing data in Access for that particular record.

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.

When I import a column from Excel into a new table in Access using the Docmd.transferspreadsheet function, Access automatically assigns a field name of "F1"; and if I try to import a range of columns (Eg A1:B10), then Access saves them into a table with 2 columns with field names "F1" and "F2". The table is created as part of the Docmd function, and so I don't have control over the field names.
Is this going to always be the case? Can I depend on Access to always use this naming convention? Because I am about to start writing more code that will depend on these field names.

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)

I have managed to export the data that I want into a spreadsheet using a command button.
Once my colleagues have completed the spreadsheet, I need a command button on a form with a file search dialogue box which will allow them to transfer the spreadsheet back into the database - updating the relevant records rather that over writing them.
Is there a VB code/Macro I can use which will allow me to do this?

We are in the process of converting from dBase to Access. We have successfully imported one of our data files into Access. When we go in and try to change the field sizes we keep getting an error that there is not enough disk space or memory. Is there a general rule when doing this? We have tried decreasing the amount of records and continue to get the error. When we originally imported the file we did not set a field size limitation so all the text fields in the structure came in at a size of 255. We are trying to change them to their proper size.
If a database is 20MB how much memory or space is required to make changes such as this? The original file contains over 300,000 records.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

I have a vba code that builds a SQL String, opens a connection to SQL server and imports the contents of a SQL View into an Access table. Everything works fine, except one column "primary_account" where I store 1 and 0 for True and False. In Access 1 shows up as -1.

I am new to Access and I think there is a simple answer to this question, but I am lost.
I have several access databases that are the same, i.e forms,tables, but have different data in the tables.
I created a query in one and was planning to import into all the others. However, after importing the query to another database it did not run, i.e I could see the field names but no data showed. The field names and tables are the same in the import database as the export one. However, neither database has relationship, joins(relationships) are created within the query.
Can anyone please tell me why this query will not run when imported, I would hate to recreate it for every database I have to work with for this project.
Thank you

My "MainMenuForm" contains a button that imports a specific csv on a specific location.Someone should do this import once per day. The problem is that there is no way for me, once the import has been done, to know which records are "new".There is no unique field that distinguishes the new records from the old ones.
I was thinking of adding like a Date() field to that csv (= the date where it was imported). Can this be done automatically? So if I import a file today, the final column would be 05/02/2015If i import a new file tomorrow, it would be 06/02/2015.

Hi
I have imported data from Outlook. The field I am interested in is the
'Subject' Field. This contains 3 effective segments,
1 employee name
2 description
3 job and sub job number
example of text in field is
M.Heywood Completed Job No.1708 8

I wish to move the employee name into another field and also the job and sub
job number. I have tried the following Right() Function but it is not quite
working as I want
Right$([Subject],InStr([Subject],"Completed Job No.")-1)
For the records above the results are as follows
No.1708 8
No.1477
What I really want is to only get the text after the .
Any help please as this is my first time with this function
Thanks

Hello there,
In Table A I have a field called Pin Number.
I set an input mask for this field, Pin Number.
Now I have imported a huge number of records into Table B from Excel which also contains Pin Numbers.
I need to link all fields with Pin Numbers, so my question is:
How can I change newly imported data fields to conform to a previous input mask?
many huge thanks, :)
