Errors Importing External Data
Sep 9, 2005I have a table that needs to be refreshed with new data monthly. The table has extensive relationship links to other tables. The new data comes to me in a spreadsheet.
I am tying to import the data from the spreadsheet into this existing access table, but errors halt the import. The fields in the spreadsheet are the exact same as in the access table. I am trying to accomplish this task with the Get External Data, Import wizard.
The strange thing is I can import the excel data into a new table without any problems. I then override the old table with the newly created one. The problem with is I have to severe all the relationships before doing so which is a real pain and a cumbersome process
If you can offer any advice, it would really help out
Trouble Importing External Data - Access Limit?
Oct 23, 2006I'm trying to import about 18 excel spreadsheets into one database in Access. I've been using "get external data" to import the spreadsheets as tables, and the first 8 of them worked fine, but now I cannot import any more excel files. The only error message I'm getting is "An error occurred trying to import file 'C:....xls' The file was not imported." And this error pops up after I have gone through all of the importing steps. Did I exhaust Access's resources? It's not a format issue, and I've restarted, etc. I'm at a loss.

Get External Data
Jun 5, 2006I have 2 tables both which I need to import data into. I have 2 xls spreadsheets per day and I need to import all the data and build it up over a period of time so that I can use the database to analyse the data. There are around 2000 records per file but I can't seem to import the data unless I select the option to create a new table each time or unless I copy and paste the data. I need to be able to timport one after the other into the same table but I keep getting an error message just saying an error occurred file not imported.
How can I import this data??

Link To External Data
Apr 24, 2006I have a fairly complex database that will have many users. I am looking for a way to sort of link the data in a text box to an external database or text file of some sort to know who created a new record in it.
For example:
The database is on a network drive. Each person who will have access to it has a small file in their C: drive that contains their name. Whenever a new record is created, the name on that file is added to the record to know who is it that added it.
How do I do that?
Thanks

I want to import a spreadsheet, the thing this there will be a new spreadsheet everyday with a different name.

Can I set the combobox to a default selection?
Switch From Internal To External Data
Oct 20, 2014I have a front-end/back-end database that another programmer has done some work on for me. He worked on his own copy which wasn't linked to our data. Now I'm ready to integrate his work. What I would like to do is take his improved front-end and link it to the existing back-end tables. All the table names are the same, and none of the fields have changed. Is there an easy way to do this?

Jun 9, 2005I have a database sitting on my server for which individual users login to over the network with their own User name and password.
Within my database there are links to data from external sources (SQL based).
My query is, if the database remains open at all times, once the link to the data has been established after keying the SQL database password, how do I stop it from asking each user that logs in to enter the password again each time they dip into the database? (If Possible).

Access/Excel External Data Question
Oct 30, 2006I have a database that contains a series of tables & queries that feed a formatted Excel sheet(s). The problem is it is not very portable.
It works fine on my local computer, but if I give the database to someone else and when the open the Excel template and try to refresh the data from the database they get an error "could not find file C:documents and settingsusername...
If I make a file for them off of documents and settings with my username and put the database in it, it works fine.
So I guess the question is, how do I change the path in Excel to reference the users computer without re-doing all the external queries?
Difficulty Getting External Data In Access 2007
Feb 2, 2007Hi There,
I have recently upgraded from Office XP to Office 2007. I had an Access database which worked fine in Access XP. In it I had a table linked to an Excel spreadsheet. When I entered data on an access form, it updated the Excel spreadsheet [source document] accordingly. This does not seem to work in Access 2007. The linked table option now does not permit data entry or amendement. The other "Get external data" options create a table in Access which also does not update my source Excel document. The idea is to enter data in Access using a form. This data is placed in an excel spreadsheet. Excel gets some lookup values, and then enters these in a Word mail merge. Without the functionality of a linked table and data entry, I cannot produce new reports.
Can anybody help please?
Regards
Mark M.
Delete Query Using External Data Source

I want to create a delete query that uses information stored in an external excel file. This file is constantly being updated so it isn't ideal to keep loading it into the access database. I need to use the excel file to remove any records appearing in my access table that are matching with the excel file. Make sense? Can anyone out there help - it this at all possible? Thanks,
Tables :: Updating Table Data From External Db?
Dec 24, 2012I have an Access db in a 3 person multi-user environment on a Windows network.
There is a "PRODUCTION" db and a "DEVELOPMENT" db.
Let's call them PROD and DEV.
PROD has the most current data, shipping records, item master, customer data, sales, etc. - but not the most current structure.
DEV has the most current struture - all the front end stuff - forms, functions, modules, etc. - but not the most current data.
The way I've handled this in the past (it seemed to work) was to take the PROD db and rename it to PRODX. Then take the DEV db and rename it PROD. Then open DEV (now called PROD) using the usual shortcut to PROD.
So now that opens fine, and I have to update all the tables from PRODX - and I mean ALL of them - since I don't really know what data has changed since the last update.If I try to delete records I get blocked by access because of all the related records (I don't have cascade delete set on every relationship). So I delete the whole table - ALL of them (this requires me to also delete the relationships). Then I IMPORT all the tables from PRODX (these have the current data). But now the relationships are all gone. It seemed at first that the relationships were back and intact - but when I last looked they were gone. So this is my problem.
HOW do I COMPLETELY empty ALL of the tables - or even delete them - and then restore them or repopulate them from an exact copy of the db but with current table data - and WITHOUT affecting the relationships?
Obviously any back end structural changes have to be handled differently. Usually by manually making the same change on the PROD db that I had in the DEV db - because deleting the table will cause the structural changes to be lost.
One last thing - I've been working this way on an un-split db, and now I'm in the process of splitting it - which SHOULD make updates much easier.
Exporting Data To External Access Database?

Forms :: Reformat A Field To Match External Data
May 29, 2013I am attempting to use some external data to populate fields in my DB. I would like to reformat the ProductID in my DB to match a ProductName coming into my DB. We have many products that have 2 pieces. If the product does have two pieces, the external database has two ProductNames that look like this:
0000967
2000967
I would like my database to be able to pull information for each of these 2 part products (they will be displayed as one product in our DB, never to be seperated). I have a form that gives the exact measurements of the first piece by using the ProductName and matching my ProductID (0000967). I would now like to write a little VBA to populate some fields on the forms that are pulled from 2000967.
something like:
Forms!Product!txtField2 = DLookup("[FieldName]", "TableName", "[ProductName] = Forms!Product!ProductID")
The issue is that I need to only get the trailing 6 digits of my ProductID and add a 2 at the beginning. Is there a quick Format syntax I could use to accomplish this?
Tables :: Access External Data Results In TMP Files
Oct 7, 2013Running Office 365 (Access 2013). Recent problem occurrence. When I do an 'External Data' command, either from another Access database or an Excel file, the import completes, but I don't see the new table immediately in the navigator section. If I import from another Access database, the new imported tables appear as '~TMPCLP....' tables. If it's from an Excel workbook, the new table doesn't appear at all. It's only after I exit the database and reopen it do I see the new tables correctly named.

Oct 20, 2014I have an Excel file with a name range "DBIAS" which identifies all database data.
Then I have an Access file with a form to import that database (better, that named range) into an Access table. While importing, I have to filter some records or grouping by some field.
I cannot run correctly a VBA code to get data (filtered and/or grouped) from that name range and save those records to an existing or a brand new table.
I could get those data as DAO.recordset and printed out with "Debug.print" on immediate window, but I cannot complete the final step: writing those records to a table.
