Convert File Before Importing
Mar 12, 2008All, I have code to import multiple text files into multiple tables in access 2003 There are about 15 tables It works but I have two problems. 1st I was converting the files from another source to text and placing them into a folder where I created import specification files. The problem is I need to automate the conversion part. How do I use VBA code to look at the file and add the extension .txt so that the program can find the file in the code. Here's part of my code. I didn't list all 15
'Import Text files into corresponding tables
DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "PhoneNoProblems Import Specification", _
"PhoneNoProblems", "X:DB_Working 017_ErrorsTextFilesPhoneNoProblem s.txt", True
DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "StrangeZipcodes Import Specification", _
"StrangeZipcodes", "X:DB_Working 017_ErrorsTextFilesStrangeZipcode s.txt", True
In the textfiles folder, before the filename with .txt exist I have to add the .txt How do I add it automatically before the import?
2nd I need a cleanup routine to remove the additional lines in the text files like: list and sort which can appear randomily throughout the text files.
I hope I've explained this so you can help me
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Create A Button On Form To Convert Data To Text File Template
Jul 14, 2015I'm currently working on a project within access which will allow users to select/input information in a form which will then save to the database.
What I need is to create a button on the form which will allow you to convert the data collected from the form to a custom text file template.
(Or maybe the last row added to the database. - although this may cause errors. Example: the form information doesn't save which will in turn create a text file with the data collected from the previous job)
The custom text file template should have a sentence description followed by the value recorded from the form.
Example:
1 configuration type: (data from form)
2 model type: (data from form)
3 Poc: (data from form)
And so on.
So in summary - I would be to use the form to collect the desired information which will save to the database.
Once actioned, a custom text file should be populated with the collected information (with specific data placement as per the example above)....
Forms :: (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
Me.Drawing_Link = yourrouteName & " # 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.

Can't Read Recent File Names On File Menu

Is there a way to shut off the viewing the entire path "feature?"

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.
General :: Batch File To Check (version) Of A File?
Aug 28, 2012I use a batch file to distribute the front end of a database application. Currently, everytime the user clicks the shortcut on her desktop, the batch file executes and copies the front end from a network location to user's local machine. The FE is updated like every couple of days. The users run the database more frequently.
I would like to modify the batch file so that it checks some attribute of the FE file to decide whether it needs to be updated. I can't rely on file size, since the FE includes temporary tables. I essentially need something like the "tag" property of form controls, only for files. It would be ideal if it was me who sets this property, like "version number". Except it has read without opening the file itself.

Does File Server Hosting Back-end Mdb File Need To Have Access
Nov 15, 2013I'm experimenting with MS Access, and I've successfully split an MDB someone created into two files. I can access the database from 2 computers at once using the front end file connecting to a file server which hosts the _be.mdb file.
Could the _be.mdb file theoretically be on a NAS without any computer attached, or is there some runtime or full version of Access that needs to run on the machine with the back end file?
