I see that we can export a table, definitions only, from the master (developer) db into a client's (runtime) db.
But if there are relationships in the table, the export fails (Access 2003). How do we get around this problem?
And if the client's db is on another computer system, ie. remote from the developer, how do we import the new and amended definitions into the client's db?
Hi
I am looking for a book or poster or something that can show me all the access controls and what they do. My VB.NET version came with several posters. I have looked at many books but can not find one that enumerates and explains all of them. I would also like to get similar information for the Active X controls included with access.
Thanks
Hi Folks
I have a text box which shows the following
=DCount("[Ref number]","main","[open or clsoed] = 'open'")
This looks at a table with a primary Key called Ref Number in a table called main with a field called open or clsoed and looks for the value open only.
I need to specify another fileld, called engineer wheer I match the username =jimmy
Im struggling to add this extra field
So it wiill look , for Open and an engineer called Jimmy in a table called main that has a primary key set !
Can anyone give me some pointers on this simple question ?

If a front-end database has links to many tables in a back-end database and the back-end is moved, is there an easy way to update all the table links in the front-end in one go, or do you have to set up all the links again one at a time?
Hoping there's a quick way...

edit: just realised the previous post asks exactly the same thing ( :o ), but that hasn't elicited a solution yet ( :( ).

Best regards,

As I proceed with my development I continue to rename fields. The effect of those renames is unclear to me. They seem to effect some things and not others.
What rules do I need to know about renaming the fields in my database and the effect on the forms I'm working on.
I have 192 databases that I need to redact certain information in certain columns. Generally, I'm looking for field names like name, first name, last name, address, address2, shipping address, mailing address, and phone numbers. Not sure how to get this information without going into every database and every local table inside the databases. Is there a way to get this information programmatically and just access the databases and table that I need to redact info in?

I have 2 reports that are exporting to 2 different .txt files. Currenlty, I am using the transfertext function in access. What is the best way to combine these 2 reports into one .txt file? I have 2 different specification criteria being used, but I need all the data in 1 report.

What I want to do is to export about 300 rows of records at a time from a table to a text file (text001.txt). The next 300 will be in text002.txt and so forth.
What I am doing right now is -- I am looping through all the fields [rs(0)-rs(50)], put in a variable and then print to the text file then go to the next row.
Is there a way to print the whole row to a text file instead of looping through all the fields then print it.
Thanks.

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can get a table thats been sorted by a specific field to export to .txt in its sorted format? For some reason whenever I have it sorted by one field and save its new formatting, it exports sorted by another field. Keep in mind it exports the way the table was originally sorted when it was first created.
Anything?

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any way to export email addresses held within an access database to Outlook, using office 2000?
I work for a small charity who have a very large contacts database in access, but are now starting to send some of our info electronically and it would be a major time saver if we could send email addressed directly to outlook.

I am exporting a table into a text file. I have an intrest rate that is formatted in the table as as five characters past the decimal point xx.xxxxx. However, when I export it to a text file, I loose my 3rd through 5th position. Any ideas on how I can export to text and still keep all five positions past the decimal? The field is currently formatted as a double number in Access. Thanks for your input.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI often have to export data from a table to a .csv (text) format. It is very important that the data remains in the right order. I even add an indexed auto number to ensure this happens. Sometimes, but not always, the data gets out of order. Not completely scrambled but chunks of records just in the wrong place.
Has anyone come across this before or got any idea what causes it?
I'm trying to export an access 2000 table to a text file. The table doesn't have a primary key, but one of the fields is indexed (contains duplicates ) and sorted.
For some reason, access ignores the table format and exports it not sorted.
Help please..?
I am producing some reports for an existing business system. I have a copy of the Access database and am working with that. When the reports are complete, how do I export them to the 'live' site? I do not have direct access to the company network. Can I email the reports, or put them on a CD, to be imported to the live site?

I am not sure where to post this, so I am trying the general forum. What I have right now is a very simple access database for teachers at our school to use - it has a field for who the announcement is from, who the announcement is for, the announcement, and the date the announcement is for.What I want to do is export each record from Access and put each record on a separate PowerPoint slide, where the title of the slide is who the announcement is from, and the body of the slide contains the announcement. Is there any way to do this easily? I have tried the MSDN thing where you create a form that brings up an instance of PowerPoint, but I would really like to do an export of records from Access then import them into PowerPoint. Any suggestions on how to do that?(here is the link from MSDN http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa159920(office.11).aspx, this isn't what I want to do - I want a separate ppt file)

Hi all.
I ave a table in access that has a column in the format single with auto setting for decimal places (I'm guessing this is 15 sig figs but I'm not too sure). What I'm trying to do is export this file as a csv so I can use it SAS. When I use the export function and select csv it truncates the data so all i get is 2 decimal places.
I can't export as a excel then rename as the file 1.4 million records long and so is too big for excel to handel. (I did try it anyway and it only exported the first 65000 rows).
I'm not an expert at all in Access, and would have little idea how to write any code that would allow me to do this.
Can anyone please help me as I urgently need to do this.
Thanks a lot.

Hi guys,
Im having a bit of trouble exporting some information to an excel file. ordinarily im sure the data would have been exported straight to an Excel Spreadsheet when the query is run.
However, it is exporting it as a generic file - that can then be opened with Excel (open with) and all the data is in there correct.
Im sure its something simple but i cant think what im missing.
Any help would be really appreciated !
Thanks

Hi.
How would you go about exporting a query to a textfile, and the text file been sorted alphabetically?
I'm hoping this isn't a silly question, but I'm going to ask it anyways.....
I have created a fairly sizeable query combining two existing tables. I am hoping to get this query to a dbf format, so that I can link it to an existing GIS theme. When I attempt the export, I get an error stating I cannot define a field more than once.
I've found a way around this, namely by exporting to an xls file and then saving as a dbf, which works but is a hassle. Am I doing something wrong??
Thanks,
Azimuth
