Exporting Dates To A Tab Delimited File
Feb 14, 2007
i have a small table, about 14,000 records. currently all the dates in the table are YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00. so 2007-2-28 00:00:00
I built a query and set the format to MM/DD/YYYY when I run the query the date showed correctly 02/28/2007 (no time stamp). However when I did the export it exported to the TXT file as 2007-2-28 00:00:00 (notice the months is only 1 character and it added the time stamp and it exported as the table format, not the query format)
I need to export this to a tab delimited file to send to another person. They are specifying MM/DD/YYYY (no time extension) and two characters for month and day regardless of day, i.e 02 not 2 etc.
I looked at access help, and have done a quick search, and I can not figure out how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated

I am able to successfully export data from an Access 2010 Query to a Tab Delimited Text file without difficulty.My problem is that the Query includes several 'tick boxes'. The resulting text file shows the text boxes as 1 or 0 as appropriate. What I actually require is a Y/N result.To achieve the required Y/N result requires some fiddly find and replace editing which is complicated by the fact that the query also contains telephone numbers incorporating 1 & 0, This then requires further editing of individual records to convert misplaced Y/N back to 1/0. Is their any way that one can force the export to convert text boxes to Y/N rather than 1/0.

I have a complex query that I am exporting to a tab delimited text file.
The query has three date fields, and a time field. The query export results in both the date and time portions of the value being shown instead of one or the other.
I have tried using the format function to force the dates to only show the date portion, and the time field to only show the time portion. So far, without luck.
I would greatly appreciate help from someone who can spot what I am doing wrong. The sql for my query is below.
SELECT tblSiteVisits.RunID AS TripID, Format([tblSampleRuns]![RunDate],"mm/dd/yyyy") AS [Trip Start Date], Format([tblSampleRuns]![RunDate],"mm/dd/yyyy") AS [Trip End Date], [RunName] & " " & [tblSampleRuns]![RunDate] AS [Trip Name], "LUMMI001" AS [Project ID], tblSites.SiteNumber AS [Station ID], STORET_SiteVisitNum.VisitNum AS [Station Visit Number], [tblSiteVisits]![SiteVisitID] & "-" & [tblParameters]![Matrix] AS [Activity ID], [tblParameters]![Matrix] AS Medium, Storet_ActivityCategories.Activity_Type AS [Activity Type], Storet_ActivityCategories.[Activity Category], tblSampleData.QCIndicator AS [QC Indicator], STORET_Replicate.RepNo AS [Replicate Number], Format([tblSampleRuns]![RunDate],"mm/dd/yyyy") AS [Activity Start Date], "" & Format([VisitTime],"hh:nn:ss") & "" AS [Activity Start Time], STORET_TimeZoneOutput.TimeDatum AS [Activity Start Time Zone], "" AS [Depth to Activity], "" AS [Depth to Activity Units], tblSiteVisits.SiteComments AS [Activity Comments], Storet_MethodsProcedures.ProcedureID, IIf([LabParam]=-1,"WSWB","") AS [Gear ID], Storet_Characteristics.CharacteristicName, IIf(IsNull([PracticalDetectionLimit]),Str([Value]),IIf([Value]<[PracticalDetectionLimit],"Present < QL",Str([Value]))) AS [Result Value], tblUnits.UnitName AS [Result Value Units], Storet_Fractions.Fraction, "" AS [Result Comment], "" AS Personnel, IIf([tblParameters]![LabParam]=-1,[LabID],"") AS [Laboratory ID], Storet_MethodsProcedures.ProcedureID AS [Field/Lab Procedure], Storet_MethodsProcedures.SourceAcronym AS [Field/Lab Procedure Source], "" AS [Analysis Date], "" AS [Analysis Time], "" AS [Analysis Time Zone], "" AS [Lab Sample Prep Procedure], "" AS [Lab Sample Prep Procedure Source], tblSampleData.PracticalDetectionLimit AS [Detection Limit], tblSampleData.UnitID AS [Detection Limit Unit], "F" AS [Result Status], tblStatisticTypes.StatisticType AS [Statistic Type], IIf(IsNull([tblSampleData]![StatisticTypeID]),"Actual",[ValueType]) AS [Value Type]

and the code for the export is
Dim MYPATH As String
MYPATH = CurrentProject.Path & "EXPORTRESULTS" & Format(Date, "mmddyyyy") & ".txt"
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "STORETEXPORT", "STORET_MSRRESULTS_TABLE2", MYPATH, True
Thanks for taking the time to help :)

When I export a table or query by right-clicking its name > export to text > with formatting and layout > choose encode as Unicode UTF8 it creates a file where all the values are surrounded by boxes, which I guess means its fixed width although it didn't ask me if I wanted the file delimited (example attached)
How can I create a tab delimited text file using UTF8 encoding?

I've got an access table with six fields, all of which are text fields. I have set up an export specification file in order to export the table as a tab delimited txt file. However, when I export, the output file is not lined up in columns!
What I am seeing is:
1 A BB CC DD EE
2 f GG H I J
3 kk LLMM NN O
4 PP Q R S T
I've tried a manual exort, using the Advanced tab for my specifications, with the same results.
If anyone can lend some ideas or suggestions, I would be very thankful.
Thanks in advance..... looking forward to your replies!

Let me preface this question with... I DID NOT CREATE NOR DO I HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE FILE I'M NEEDING TO IMPORT INTO ACCESS.
I've got a situation where I'm needing to normalize a delimited .CSV file on a routine basis. The .CSV file has 369 fields. When normalized correctly, the true data should only be about 60 fields.
I didn't think this would be such a hard thing... just import the first 255 fields into one table, and the remaining fields into another table. Then, using a query... normalize the database as necessary.
I've scoured this topic all over... I've seen solutions for "fixed width" files, but not delimited. The only helpful thread I've found says that this is possible only through very complicated parsing through the file.
That's where I'm stuck... This is definitely over my head. If anyone has any help on this I sure would apprecaite it.

I need to export a .dat file with delimited format (using ";")
I have tried the following:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "ED File", "Employee Data Output", "c: estfilesfile1.dat", False, ""
But when I execute the code the following error is shown:
Run-time error '3027'
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only
Using the same structure "DoCmd.TransferText" but with the .txt extension in the file works perfect.
Also I have tried export the .dat file using DoCmd.OutputTo, but even if the export is done, the format is not kept.
How can I export the .dat file keeping the delimited format needed?

I am trying to import a non-delimited text file into access, but where there is a strict hierarchy to the records, i.e.
NAME:
AGE:
DOB:
etc. etc.
The field names are constant throughout the document but the pages are of variable length depending on what is in the fields.

I'm trying to import a pipe delimited text file into a table. I can import the entire table using the following code, but I only get one column of data (the entire data set in one column). If possible I would like to import with the columns defined or if not possible use some code for a function similar to text to columns.
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "tblTest", "C:Work2015PPVMasterData.txt"

A little background. I need to export the results of a query I use to build a report. For Print Master software I need the "Field Names" in the text file as well as the data for a Mail Merge in Print Master (PM).
"The field name information in the file you have specified is missing or not correctly formatted. The first line of the file must contain the database field names. Make sure the "Export Field Names" (or similar) option is selected in the program from which you are exporting data."
Trouble is, when trying to export the report or query, Access has no "Export Field Names" option. It works if I first export to Excel and then from Excel to "txt" then to Printmaster. I would like to eliminate the Excel step. Therefore, how do or can I get Access Export to transfer the "Field Names" along with the field data?

Hi.
Stupid question, but I have Access 97 database with ssn in each record.
I need to create a comma-delimted text file with these ssns.
When I use the export text file with a query that lists each record's ssn, it does not produce comma-delimited file.
How?

I'm trying to import a text file with 273 fields into two tables. I've been able to do this with the code I found on an old thread and I'm now trying to accomplish everything with one step. The file I'm importing is tab delimited text file. With this current code I'm only able to populate the first record in the table and then I get error message. (Run-time error '3265') (Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the reqested name or ordinal).
Code:
Public Sub ImportTextFile()
' to use the ADODB.Recordset, be sure you have a reference set to ADO
Dim rst As ADODb.Recordset
Dim rst2 As ADODb.Recordset
Dim strFile As String
Dim strInput As String
Dim varSplit As Variant
Dim intCount As Integer
[code]...

Wondered if someone could assist me.
I am exporting a query into a .csv file using the following:
Private Sub Output_To_CSV_File_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_export_Click
Dim AString As String
AString = "Export_Occupancy_"
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "", "ChildCare Vouchers For Accor", "\uk.michaelpage.localdfsGroupDataNSCHElite Database ReportsChildCare.csv" & AString & Format(date, "YYYY_MMDD") & Format(Time, "-HH_MM") & ".csv", True
Exit_export_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_export_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_export_Click
End Sub
This works fine, however the date format within my output file appears as:
13/05/1963 00:00:00
I wish this to be just 13/05/1963. I have formatted date etc. Is there something else I have overlooked?
Thanks

Hello,
I am exporting a table to a text file and I am having a problem with decimal places. I have got a column which is showing a number with differing number of decimal places, between 0 & 3. The column is set to Data Type decimal with auto decimal Places setting.
When I export this to a text file, it automatically changes the field to be 2 decimal places. Is there anything that can be done about this? If I export it to an excel file, the formatting stays the same, but the table will be too big to export to excel at some point so I can't do this.
Kind Regards
Carly

I replied to post of Exporting to the same XLS file on 1/4, but didn't receive a reply. I need to export out from one table to Excel grouped by client ID to each worksheet. The Excel report will have approximately 15-20 worksheets. The DoCmd.Output exports each client to their own worksheet. Is it possible for this command to export one report with multiple worksheets (one for each client)? If so, will the DoCmd.Output work and how will the group by client criteria be implemented in the code?

I wonder if there is a way of exporting (or something) the database into an exe-file or something? I would like it to be as easy as possible to use for users that cannot control Access. In other words, I don't want to be able to be able to make changes to all the tables, querys, macros, etc. I only want the master form to start when I start the database (I use a macro for that).
Is it also possible to use it without having access installed on you computer?

In my database I would like my report to run every 30 seconds and export that data to a text file. I am not sure if that is best with a Do While or Do Until.
What I am looking to accomplish is to populate a map with data from the data base report. it needs to rerun the report and write the text file every 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Any help with the coding would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I would like to have a dialog box open when the user clicks on a command box so that they can choose the file name and the directory where the exported excel spreadsheet would be saved. Does anyone have any ideas? Btw, my code to save an excel automatically is below and I would like to use code.
DoCmd.OutputTo acQuery, "qryPipelineAndCommission", "MicrosoftExcel(*.xls)", "ClientList.xls", True, ""

I need to export data from a table in Access to a fixed length record text file and would like to find out how to export a number field into this text file with leading zeros.
The text file requires this 999999.99 and right justify and zero fill. My question is this: how can I zero fill from the table to the txt file? I went through the export wizard and couldn't see how to do it.
Thanks

I am having trouble exporting a query from ACCESS 2010 to a .txt file. I have a field in the middle of the query, and I cannot get the data of this field unless I put it in the end of the query (as the last field). I think I must be doing something wrong, but I don't known what may that be.
