General :: Uploading From Excel - Error In XLS File In Row 0
Feb 3, 2014I have an access database that has been written by someone else (I am a novice when comes to access!) and to which I have been asked to regularly upload data from excel.
There is a Macro written to load data from spreadsheets, and generally this works without problems. However there are a few spreadsheets which come up that result in a message box saying "Error in [name of spreadsheet] xls file in row 0" - I have checked for errors and null values in the spreadsheet but have seen this before as it generally tells me the error is in row 245 for example, but have never seen this error in row 0 before!
Uploading Data.
Jun 21, 2007I have created my database - I now need to upload data from my old database.I have the old data in an excel spreadsheet and have edited the data so that it matches the coloums in the new database.I have one problem,I can upload all the person data into the person tableand I can upload all the organisation data in the organisation table(I'm assuming I just copy and paste it into the tables in the new database.)BUT and this is a big BUT.. the employment table is the linking table where you select an organisation from the drop downlist and you select a person from the person dropdown list, you add other details about emplyment and save the record.Does this mean I will have to do this manually, i.e create all the links manually??And is my cut and paste method above corect??Thanks is advanceEdit: I have attached the database to help you understand

Oct 25, 2006Colm,
I can't seem to upload on this site anymore (I could do it a few days ago). Is there a problem with the uploading or am I doing something wrong? It looks like my uploading capabilities are off. Can I please have uploading capabilities?
I have some sample code I'd like to upload to answer a few threads.

Is there an easy way to do this? I have an ODBC connection to the SQL Server Database and I can import tables from SS to Access... but is there a way to do the reverse?
Thanks much!

Uploading Multiple Pictures Into Access
Oct 18, 2006Hi there
im trying to build a database that stores a large number of photos and would like some suggestions on how i can upload multiple photos (20+) at one time without uploading each one individualy, preferably through a form.
To outline the problem, each member of the team has a camera that they take to jobs, when they return i want them to be able to open a new form, enter the job number (the primary key) onto the form and then somehow drag and drop the pictures from the camera onto the form to upload them.
Is this possible through Access? is this the best way of uploading multiple photos easily? and how do i build this?
Thanks in advance
MJ
General :: Uploading Pictures To Access?
Mar 22, 2013I am currently working on a project for work on re-creating our database for our daily audits. We enter daily information on a form which feeds to the table and in return we run the queries to get the percentages and all that good information. I was asked to be able to load a picture of to a particular record. Can I do that from the form and that link to the table and to the queries that run?
View 2 Replies View RelatedReports :: Form For Uploading Page Headers
Aug 6, 2015I built a form that will allow each page header to take the info needed depending on who is using the data base. I seem to be having a problem having the Logo uploaded so that it can be used. Since I am new to Access, my only example would be like a web page. use the location of the picture in the code and it pulls it up for each page associated. I guess this would be 2 questions. How do I add to my form the upload of the graphics and how do I get the reports and forms to pull that picture into the header every time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Automate Process Of Uploading Inventory
Jan 3, 2014I have a large database of items we sell on Amazon, I am looking to automate the process of uploading the inventory.
I am uploading a tab delimeted text file using the following code,
With CreateObject("msxml2.xmlhttp")
.Open "POST", strURL, False
.setRequestHeader "Host:", "mws.amazonservices.co.uk"
.setRequestHeader "User-Agent:", "VBA"
.setRequestHeader "Content-MD5:", md5hdr2
.setRequestHeader "Content-Type:", "text"
.send c2a
Forms!Form1.Text3.value = .responseText
End With
I am confident I have the signature and the MD5 Header, but I cannot get the data into Amazon!
I keep getting a non-descript error "InputDataError".
When debugging my Play API, I was told that the "send" command was not uploading the file contents, it was uploading the filename! So c2a is a string variable that contains the tab delimited data. This works like a charm for Play, but no joy for Amazon.

View 3 Replies View RelatedForms :: (Upload File) Button Stopped Showing All File Types
Oct 7, 2013I recently upgraded a DB from 2003 to 2013 and ran into the following problem.
I have a button that opens a file dialog box and allows the user to upload a file to a predetermined location (and store the address as a hyperlink). I borrowed this code from someone else on here and modified it slightly.
In any case, the button still works, but now when it opens it doesn't have an option for "All files" under file types. So I can upload MS Office files, text files, etc., but not PDF files which are by far the most common types my users upload.
Private Sub Command35_Click()
Dim dd As Integer
Dim fileDump As FileDialog
Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
dd = fileDump.Show
Dim Yourroute As String
Dim yourrouteName
Yourroute = fileDump.SelectedItems(1)
yourrouteName = StrReverse(Yourroute)
yourrouteName = StrReverse(Mid(yourrouteName, 1, InStr(yourrouteName, "") - 1))
FileCopy Yourroute, "us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName

General :: Mail Merge Word File (using Data From Access File)
Mar 11, 2014I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
General :: Forms And Queries In One ACCDB File - Path Setting To Linked Table File
Oct 5, 2014I've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.
One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.
Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?
Text File To MS Excel Multiple File Import Application
Jul 20, 2006hello,
I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).
I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?

Modules & VBA :: Determine Excel File Type Without Opening The File?
Aug 14, 2015Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.
I'm using Office 2010.

View 9 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Follow Hyperlink To A File Without Using File Extension?
Sep 6, 2012Is it possible to follow a hyperlink to a file without using a file extension?
I have links being created based on the name of a file, but because I haven't used a file extension it crashes.
I know I can give the user a choice of what the file extension is and add it to the hyperlink, but it's an extra step, and another place for someone to make a mistake.
I'm potentially using 3 different file types, Word, Excel and PDF's.
The hyperlink works if I just reference a drive/folder, or if I add the file extension.
