Hello,
Been wondering how I can update fields in my Access database table using data that lies in an excel spreadsheet.
They have a common row ie say account number and other common fields that need to be updated.
thanks
I used to import excel data into access successfully, many times but now I have to import excel data into an existing Access table with foreign key fields, which makes me problems.
Its just doesn't work...and Im sure the forien key fields are the prob cause, the other fields are going well ...
Hello
I have a table with 3 fields:
- ID no (primany key), Time1 and Time2
I have 3 records with ID no 1 to 3.
So my table look like this
ID no: Time1: Time2:
1 [emty] [emty]
2 [emty] [emty]
3 [emty] [emty]
I have an Excel document with the data for field Time1 and another Excel dokument with the data for field Time2. Excel doc1 have 2 colums named ID no and Time1. And Excel doc2 have 2 colums named ID no and Time2.
How do I import/update these data into my table?
I have tried wiht a adding-quiry but it only works if the table is complety emty and only with one Excel doc. Trying the second Excel doc afterwards only makes an error and no fields are updated.:confused:
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if this is possible to do:
I have a Form that reads from one Linked Table and Updates a Local Table. Is it possible to move the Local Table to the Back End and still be able to append fields and change field names etc?
If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I currently have a database that is missing various pieces of information, we are getting a temp in to complete this. I don't want the temp adding data directly into Access so I have exported the table that needs updating into Excel.
How can I then import the new data without altering current data.
I know this is no problem for new records, but if I have a current record with a few fields of information missing how can I just import information into the blank fields. This can't be a manual process as there are hundreds of records.
Any comments would be much appreciated!

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.
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 a form that has combo boxes and text fields (as well as sub forms). There is also a button linked to some code that says'
Private Sub cmdQuote_Click()
'Creates quote date and prints quote
Me.QuoteDate = Now()
Me.cbAgentID.Requery
DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID
End Sub
When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.
hi
i am getting stuck while updating the data in the database table using a command button in the MS Access2003 forms. when i click the command button in the form, a message "Run time 2185: you cant refer to a property or method for a control unless the control has a focus". the code is as follows.
rivate Sub Command10_Click()
Dim query As String
query = "select RESOURCEINFO from tbl_control where CONTROLNAME='" + Combo4.Text + "'"
If (cn.State <> 1) Then
cn.Open "dsn=ABC", "", ""
End If
rs.Open query, cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
RESOURCEINFO.SetFocus
rs.Fields(0) = RESOURCEINFO
rs.Update
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing

Exit_Command10_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command10_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command10_Click
End Sub
i am a beginner. any help would be greatly appreciated.
When I try to transfer (ctrl c + v) data from a table in Excel to a table in Access it loses format.
Exemple: $ 1.000,00 (Excel) become 1000 (Access).
I need to keep the format to make sure that the code works properly.
Hello guyz,
With the help of 'Import External Data' wizard, my import did not happen. My datatypes and Col. Headers in excel are matching for what I have in access table. Alternatively, I selected to import the data into new table and all of the data got imported. My question, since I already have some data in table I want data to be imported, how can I do about bringing all the data from new table I created during import to the existing table. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
I have an excel spreadsheet that uses a data connection to a website to download text. I have the data connection properties to refresh upon opening the file. If i double click the file from windows, it updates. Although using the code below doesn't work. When i've added the code ObjXL.Save before closing it, it usually saves a file with no data and no cells. I'm eventually going to switch visible to false.
Private Sub btnDownLoadSettle_Click()
Dim XLapp As New Excel.Application
Dim ObjXL As Excel.Workbook
Set ObjXL = XLapp.Workbooks.Open("C:...Settlements.xlsx")
ObjXL.Application.Visible = True
ObjXL.Windows(1).Visible = True
Sleep (5000)
ObjXL.Close
XLapp.Quit
End Sub
Hopefully someone can help me this (and hopefully the solution isn't staring me in the face)
I am trying to export data from a cell in a worksheet to a field in an Access database that I am building. The database has two tables, tblCompanies and tblQuotes. It works through a macro accessed by a command button, which should export the total of a quote into the field Quote_Price in the tblQuotes table, which the users will access through a form. The problem is that if I export the data from Excel, I get an error message saying, "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'tblCompanies'. The code looks like this:
Sub NewQuote()
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection, rs As ADODB.Recordset, r As Long
' connect to the Access database
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _
"Data Source=C:Documents and SettingsDJEdwardsMy DocumentsTest Foldermarketing.mdb;"
' open a recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open "tblQuotes", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable
r = 55 ' the start row in the worksheet
Do While Len(Range("I" & r).Formula) > 0
With rs
.AddNew
.Fields("Quote_Price") = Range("I" & r).Value
.Update ' stores the new record
End With
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
cn.Close
Set cn = Nothing
End Sub
I can import the cell contents from Access with no problems, but I would like the user to be able to do it from Excel to simplify things.
I'd be grateful for any help!

However I want it so i can choose where that data in the "Test" table will go in the Excel Spreadsheet i.e. I want to export all the data in to Cell "B2" of the SpreadSheet - at the moment it will export all the data into "A1"
Any help or ideas?

Hi, can someone please help with this?
I have a table for storing details of share prices relating to specific certificate numbers, so only the £ value and the value date changes when we update (done manually at present).
The updates for different companies are done at different times, hence I cannot just delete and import new data, it needs to be an update to a value from an excel sheet (the excell sheet is downloaded from the web provider in question).
I had thought of using "get external data" to create a new or ad to a new table, then an update query to update the main table from the new one, but again cannot seem to get it to work on the specific certificate numbers.
As you can see I have little knowledge on code etc, and have so far only used macros to automate the application we use, can anyone please help???
Thanks in advance!

I'm using MS access and Excel 2000. I have an Excel spreadsheet that contained 8 columns, the first column has all cell format as Number, the rest of the column is set as custom date format of 'dd/mm/yyyy'. When I create a linked table in MS Access, the data types does not matched my excel spreadsheet columns, the 'Number' data type is a double and I want a Long Integer in Access, and the custom date format become text datatype but I wanted a DateTime datatype. Is there any work around this? Seems like it is a common problem.
Your prompt response is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I am writing the following code that will first of all display column headers dynamically using "Headers" field data from Access table and then find out the sum(volume) using column header and first column values. The following code works fine to display headers dynamically in Excelsheet from Access table but doesn't display sum(volume) in all the corresponding cells. As I can't attach the Access table so I have stored data from Access table to sheet named "Access Data" as attached. The sheet2 named "Report" should populate total volume .
Code:
Public Function Inputdata()
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim r As Long
Dim i As Integer

I'm trying to have a linked Excel chart in Access form. What I've done so far is create a chart in Excel and Paste Special>>Linked into Access.
I also have code inside Excel that will update chart data, it works fine.
Then I have code in Access that calls the code in Excel to update the data.
The data gets updated fine and the chart in Excel gets updated but the chart in Access only gets updated if I close and open the form again.
Here is the code that will update the Excel Data
Public Sub Import_VRSS_Graph_Data(strDayType As String, strTimeBand As String, strEntrance As String, Ws As Worksheet)
' Create a connection object.
Dim cnPubs As ADODB.Connection
Set cnPubs = New ADODB.Connection
' Provide the connection string.

how i can export the data from Access to excel using Access VBA for the specified sheet using data linkage with access database. Like we used to do it manually in excel as external data from access.Like we have some codes for linking excel file to database mentioned below;
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acLink, , "region", "F:DB PracticeBook1.xlsx", False, "region"
Can we have something like this to link database table in excel file automatically.So that the excel size won't be that big and also it saves processing time.
