I have 4 csv files, that need to be imported into Access.
1. I'm building 4 linked tables so users can update the table as needed. Then run queries based on these tables to produce report. But maybe there's a better way? the file name and location might be dymatic, so anything like 'getopenfilename' would be easier instead of linked tables?
2. These data need to be clean up first to become a 'database table'. (Delete first 2 rows, delete some columns, remove duplicates etc.) I know how to do them in VBA Excel, but never used Macro in Access before.
We have a user that wants to pull data from multiple oracle tables into one access table. She will probably want to run this process daily. The tables will join easy enough, but I wasn't sure what the best way to go about doing this was. I haven't used access very much. Again, this is a member of the user community and she is wanting to do this thru access. Ideally, if it could be automated some way, or set up in some way where the user would not have to do much more than start the process (and not have to redo any "select" statements each time). I would assume some kind of combination of links and import (maybe using a macro?), but again I know very little about access.
I am periodically importing Excel files into access.Making the data usable requires removing spaces, parsing certain fields, adding datasource field, etc. Currently, I am importing the un-formatted data into a staging table, cleaning it up with a query and then copying the updated staging table to the final table.
I'm not sure if I am biting off more than I can chew. I have a text field in each record in my database (Inherited) The db has nearly 5,000 records. I would like to split the field into records in a seperate table. An Example of the table as is now;
Is this possible in one hit or do I need to process the records without dates first and then run another process to split those with Dates? I say dates but the field is a text field. About 15-20% of the records contain dates which are always enclosed in parenthesis.
When I try to import from a spreadsheet, Access crashes. No errors, no error log entry. At first I thought it was because my file was password protected, so I tried a new file with no password, but it still crashes Access.:confused:
I've searched everywhere for a solution to this problem....and every site I come to has numerous examples of how to save Outlook Contact data into a database, but nothing on how to automatically store info from forms into Access table.
So, I assume the code will be in Access. When you run the macro it will look in a certain email folder, return all of the data within the forms in that folder and store it into an Access table.
Does ANYBODY know how to do this? I thought it'd be a much more common problem than it appears to be??
Hello guyz, With the help of 'Import External Data' wizard, my import did not happen. My datatypes and Col. Headers in excel are matching for what I have in access table. Alternatively, I selected to import the data into new table and all of the data got imported. My question, since I already have some data in table I want data to be imported, how can I do about bringing all the data from new table I created during import to the existing table. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
I get XML's from a site and want to import the data to Access. If I use the native import then I get multiple tables and the data is a little jumbled. For instance: I get 1 table with track names and a different table for track numbers with no way to relate the to accurately. I would like to be able to parse out the XML and have it update my table as it goes so I have less "junk" in my DB. I just can't figure out how to call out the XML tag and tell it to copy that info to the correct field.
But this will import all the data in that worksheet into the Access table.What I want to implement is to import part of the data. For example, the data I need is start from Row30 till the end, thus I don't need the data from Row1 to Row29.
I need to schedule the opening of a MS Access database which is password protected.
I think the best way to do this would be to use schedule a batch process to run, can anyone help with the script to create a batch proccess to only OPEN and CLOSE an MS Access database?
I am considering the possibility of revamping the employee onboarding & off-boarding process for our organisation to make it more efficient.
Current State: We use InfoPath forms in SharePoint Servers 2010 to handle onboarding/employee change/off-boarding requests submitted by the related department. With the Workflow process, the respective manager will receive email to approve the requested intake form and once it is done, the form will be assigned to someone in the business support team for processing. Once all the required logistics are completed, we shall enter the new hire's profiles into our MS Access employee database through an employee input form.
It works well although it seems like a duplication of work since the support team has to manually input the employee information, which is already captured on the InfoPath form, into the Access database. We also need to align the field options (such as data on drop down lists) in the InfoPath form with similar field on the input form in the database whenever there are new field added or changes made on existing fields.
Future State: I wonder if there is a way in Access to set up a similar request/approval process so that we can get rid of the InfoPath form when the requester can input the employee information on a onboarding intake form in Access with data stored in a temporary table. After the request is approved and subsequently completed by the business support team, we can say, click a button and transfer the employee data from the temporary table to the employee table. Of course, some sort of validation rules should apply before the transfer takes place to ensure data integrity.
I think the major challenges would be to build an approval process within Access to provide similar notification features as from InfoPath.
I know this might be a wild thinking but just want to look for possible options to save manual work and improve the efficiency of our process.
I have a text file that details every single incident that happened in the system. This means that it is extremely messy and non-comprehensible to a normal person due to the use of codewords and all.
Is it possible to scan through the document and insert the data into access, such that the different keywords are put as seperate events?
Ps, the number of characters between each event and data may not always be the same, so seperating them by that is not the way to do it. However, when I open the file in notepad++, I can confirm that each event is 6 lines.
E.g. Line 1 = Event timestamp, Line 2 = Event Name, Line 3 = Acknowledged or not, Line 4 = Acknowledged by who, Line 5 = Event Details, Line 6 = Application Owner.
Basically, the 6 lines are the 6 columns that I would need in my table. So, is it possible to separate out and read every 6 lines of data in the text file?
I wanted to import data in a access table using a form in access. The form should contain a browse button to browse the file and then a command button to start importing.
I have a workbook which has links to access to import data. I have to have the information in Excel for a couple reasons:
1.) Many of our customers don't have Access. 2.) The customers use a "discount calculator" to apply their own discounts.
They also use it to then apply their own margin mark ups to be able to then use to quote to their customers. So a static report/pdf for them to look at doesn't work.
I've begun to create links from a number of queries in Access, which work fine. My problem is when I go to update the data. I'm not getting the following error coming up:
The database definitely hasn't moved. And I've run the queries in q, and there aren't any problems there. I've looked this error up and I'm seeing that it could mean that I've got some corruption going on.
Before I hit my main q, I should also note: I'm running all of this on a Citrix network. I should also note that it's a consulting gig. Once I'm done, I won't be available to fix major issues like this.
I just created a database and need to connect it to the data source. The data comes from a http website (intranet from work). When I open the link using firefox, I can view the website with the data in it, but when I open it from Internet Explorer, I get a save as pop-up message to save a csv file which contains all the data. The extension of the http website ends with csv. So it is something like http (slash slash...) Intranetname/referral_dbase.csv
Currently, I am opening the file using firefox, copying all the data manually, and pasting it in a text file using notepad. After that, I import the file into access. The delimiter of the data is this symbol: |
I am trying to find a way to link my database to the website where the data is located so that I can skip the manual process of opening the website and copying the data and saving it into a text file and then importing that file into access. I was thinking to have like a form in access with a bottom that will automatically import that data from this link and paste it into a table in access using the delimiter symbol mentioned above.
Is this too complicated? Is it even possible in access 2010?
I used to import excel data into access successfully, many times but now I have to import excel data into an existing Access table with foreign key fields, which makes me problems.

I want to make a database of diseases (need to learn them for school and would like a serchable database on my smart phone for future reference). Unfortunately spent a lot of time making hundreds of pages of word tables before i realized a database would be better. See attached image or pdf. Is there a way to import the tables to Access?
I need to preserve the hierarchic info in the nested bullet point lists. E.g. under treatment i might have a point called Acute treatment, with sub-levels, Step 1, Step 2, etc. with their own sub-levels. I need to maintain this relational hierarchic info.
I would like to know which way is the best way to import excel data from multiple sheets in to multiple tables in access.
For example data from Sheet1 -> Table1, Sheet2->Table2, Sheet3->Table3 etc...
I have tried using this: Cmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel5, "Table1", "C:Importedfile.xlsx", True, "Sheet1!"
Ironically, data from Sheet2 and Sheet3 seem to be properly imported in to table2 and table3, but some of the data from Sheet1 seems to be missing in Table1 after import.
I have a database that I import data from an excel spreadsheet into multiple times daily. The table that this data is imported into has several key fields that if the data already exisits in the table, and I attempt to import data that is the same except for one or more of the key fields is different. At this time the database it creates a different record. I am trying to get the database to overwrite the data in the database.
I was assigned by my manager to design an Access database system that is able to import all data from excel file monthly and creating charts & tables to analysis how each sales people and industry perform.
We originally have a big excel master sheet that has more than 10 sheets. I tried to import the current excel into access, but then i realized that this is not gonna work. because for next month, there will be new data and I can't do the whole import process over and over. Plus, after this system is designed, the users will be someone who has no knowledge in access, so i need to create a user-friendly system for them to use.
My questions is:since the data is always cumulative number, if I imported current excel file into access, when the next month comes, how to update the new data into excel. p.s. EXP. Mike's sale volume is different each month, and with the access system, for that column, it will be a cumulative number, like the total from the month of November to this month. how do i achieve this kind of update/import goal?I tried to link the excel to access, but by doing that, I will not be able to set relationship or change the attributes of any data type in access.
Hi, i am a new comer. i have a table for students' comment for the first semester. however, in the 2nd semester i want to replace them with import data from excel to this table, but on the same student there are 2 rows of records (1 is 1st semester and 1 is 2nd semester).
