Truncated Memo Field On Export!
Feb 10, 2006Hello! 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!!
Access Query With Links To Excel / Export To XML And Back Into Excel
Apr 25, 2013I 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?

Want Linked Excel Cell 2b Memo Not Text?
Oct 13, 2005I 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:
Exporting Memo Field (>255 Char) Into Excel
Sep 28, 2005Hi,
I've read a bit on exporting Access fields longer than 255 characters (Memo) into Excel, and the general concensus is that it cannot be done.
All I need to do is run a report, right click the report, and select Export from the menu.
However, if it can be done using a query, any assistance or pointing in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks..

Tables :: Excel Memo Field Truncating
Apr 18, 2013I 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.

Oct 21, 2012how 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;

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.
Importing Data From Excel To Memo Field In Access Is Truncated After 255 Characters
Nov 16, 2007I haven't seen anyone run into this particular problem on this forum...
I'm importing data from an excel spreadsheet to an MS Access (2007) table. One of the fields in the table is a text memo field able to support more than 255 characters...
Issue:
The issue is that any cell in Excel that is greater than 255 characters is truncated when imported to MS Access even though the field is a memo field. There isn't any documentation on Microsoft's website about this and I don't see any way to work around it other than manually copying the data from excel to MS Access.
Anyone have any input on this matter?
Thanks in advance!
Modules & VBA :: Access Memo Field Copy To Excel Truncates At 255 Characters
Nov 25, 2013Two Solutions to address moving an Access Memo field into Excel when string has > 255 characters. All my 'reports' use Excel VBA (Access Reports are not used). The Excel reports can have 40,000 records. Speed to create the report can be an issue.
Describing 2 Solutions below to address moving Access memo fields with > 255 characters into Excel.After running this code
Code:
720 ObjXL.DisplayAlerts = False
ObjXL.Columns("X:X").Select
ObjXL.Selection.NumberFormat = "@" ' set column to Text
730 ObjXL.Worksheets(intWorksheetNum).Cells(intRowPos, 1).CopyFromRecordset rsNutsAndBolts
The Comments column are limited to 255 characters. So, the CopyFromRecordset (recordsetvariable) creates the 255 character limitation.
The reason? The 255 character limit is because CopyFromRecordset sutomatically uses the Characters property of the Range object. The 255 limit would not be there if the Cell Value property is used to assign the string to that cell.
Dim sRx as String ' String Prescription
sRx = "String with > 255 characters ... you fill in the rest ...."
Cells(1, 1).Value = sRx ' Cell's Value property assignment can be very large
Solution 1:
The record set is still in memory. By using a loop, a cursor can start with record 1 (memo column) and assign that value to the Excel row / column using the .value as shown above. Basically, this moves one memo field at a time, record by record. e.g. Read First recordset in Access, copy to variable, assign value to Excel row/column Then move next on each Access and Excel.
Solution 2:
An Access Memo filed [RxNotes] can have up to 750 characters. Cut it apart into three new fields that end up out in the very right Excel columns AA, AB, AC.
Note1=Mid([RxNotes],1,250)
Note2=Mid([RxNotes],251,250)
Note3=Mid([RxNotes],501,250)
Then using Excel Object - Concat the cells back cell by cell...
X2=CONCATENATE(AA2,AB2,AC2))
Then delete the columns AA, AB, AC to hide the evidence..Neither solution is all that elequent. Read about this and by golly, it made a difference
ConcatComments = "'" & CommentString
Before using the CopyFromRecordset be sure to add a single quote in front of the large string.
Turns out the interface between Access and Excel look for this to prepare Excel immediately for the string to be a string, not something else. Some of my strings had weird print characters that kind of looked like Japenese characters. It seemed random, it always happened if the string was 255 or more characters (ramdonly, not always). The single quote doesn't show up in Excel, but got rid of all the noise.

Export / Import To And From Excel
May 5, 2005hi,
I'm having a small but annoying problem exporting data to excel and then importing it back..
The problem is that when i export a table to Excel - it changes the date format from dd/mm/yy (which is what i have in Access) to DD-MMM-YY (automatically in Excel)
This proves to be a problem because when i import the spreadsheet back Access gives me a data type conversion error.
Its easily solved manually by changing the field in excel to dd/mm/yy format but annoying as the user will have to do this everytime they export and import!
Any suggestions??
Thanks in Advance..
How To Export A Report To Excel
Oct 17, 2005I've been asked to export an MS Access report to Excel. I'm having trouble with including subtotals, totals, etc. in the Excel sheet. I've enclosed a picture of how my report looks in Access, and was wondering if there's a way to export everything the report has into Excel......
Can anyone maybe point me in a good direction, or to a link that has info re: what I want to do?
And before anyone asks, it's for a manager who insists that everything be done in Excel, since that is what he's comfy with. Outside of that, I wouldn't be giving myself headaches, since my Access report contains everything needed.
Thanks in advance!
Export To Excel And Graph
Jan 4, 2006I am trying to export the result of a query to a specific Excel sheet where I have a dynamic graph. The results are exported on a monthly basis, so I am just adding the data, and the graph reflects that. Now, I can export to excel easily enough by using the Transfer Spreadsheet method, but this creates a new worksheet, thus destroying my lovely graph. I have even tried the Output Query method, but to no avail. Is there any way I can export to excel and keep the graph intact?

Help Modifying Export To Excel.
Sep 1, 2007Hi guys, me again. Have a few functions that I would like to put into action.
1)
I currently have the following code that exports multiple queries to excel. All works great I am happy to say. Currently the date criteria are hard coded into the queries. Well now my users would like to enter date ranges instead. Currently when I click on my toggle button, the users are asked if they are sure they want to start export to excel. I still want that to happen, but how can I change my code to prompt for startdate and enddate before running the export. I would rather use an input boxes to enter the date range instead of using a form. Would this be possible?
2)
Right now excel is displayed on the screen while the export is in process, how can I hide excel and then have it appear after its done with export. If the user clicks within excel during export, it sometimes freezes. And how can I apply my module for the progress bar to display the progress of the export. I have provided the code of the progress bar that I am using, that I found on this forum.
Many thanks for any suggestions.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it :)
