Importing Xml
Feb 14, 2008
I have an xml from the powers that be in IT: can post it here if anyone wants, but it's quite big. Tried to import it into Access 2003, no joy. Than I realised that it it's almost certainly attribute-centric.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285329
And so I need to create a template to make it look normal. although they give an example on the microsoft page, it's bespoke to the xml they create from Northwind and i'm struggling to write a template from scratch.
The xml appears to have tables embedded and all sorts, it's not just a flat file structure....
can that be reversed out with a template?

A common tip on this forum to reduce a db FE is to create a new db and import in from the original. Easy. Now I have done this and on navigating through the new db have no trouble when new. I then put in the start up form and close it. On start up again I get the following message. "Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost". When trying to view any VBA coding the same message appears.
All tips or directions to other treads welcome.
Thanks

I imported a database designed several years ago into Access 2003, but all that I got was the tables. Is there a way to get the reports, queries, forms, etc? Thank for all the help.

I am trying to import into a table a very large text file that has information dumped into it every morning from a daily import.
I am building a database that is also using the same information but on a stand alone database and was curious to know if there is a way to link the txt file to a table so every morning that the new info is imported it will just automatically dump into the table.
I have filling this is not since it is a txt file and I will need to just setup a custom menu button that when pressed does the import into the table, but I was hoping it would be as simple as a link.
Thanks ahead of time.

I am importing from a spreadsheet. The column is formated as text.
In the design view of the Access table for the associated field it is showing text.
When it encounters a record that is all numbers and no letters it imports it as an exponent
i.e. 32986698 is imported as 3.29867e+007
What can I do to correct this?
Thanks

I'm having trouble with a DB that I've been using for four years in a multi-user environment. (Windows XP; Access 2000; Novell Network) Started with one user as she got a new WinXP PC (had Win2K - not totally convinced that she didn't have the problem before the new PC); she wasn't able to do a keyword search - it would bring up every record, but other users were fine. Then, it started to do it on my PC as well (WinXP - even though I had my XP for a year longer), but other users are still fine. My code still looks fine, and apparently works for others.
So, thinking there may be some corruption going on, I decided to create a new DB and import in tables, queries, forms, reports, and modules. Only three of 20 forms show up as options to import and only a portion of the reports show up. All the tables and queries appear. When I go back to the "faulty" database, the forms are there and do work from my "menu form".
Then, I tried compacting the "faulty" database, but I don't get the message in the lower left saying it is compacting; the hourglass comes up, then the DB opens - the size stays the same. So, I don't think it is compacting.
Any ideas ????
Thanks - and I do appreciate this forum - has saved me alot of time over the years.

I have a linked csv table into access, and have a make table query which runs off this. When i first build and run the query it runs fine, but when i run it again I get the following problem "numeric field overflow" I have checked all the data types, they match fine.....
The thing that i cannot understand is when I rebuild the query from scratch, it works fine for the first couple of times, then stops.

Hi All
I import data from exel 2000 into access 2000 how can I remove duplicate and unwanted data (ie Blank rows)
I recieve my daily work via an e-mailed exel spreadsheat which is then transposed before being exported to access.
I have allowed for upto 12 customers per day in my transpose macro.
The problems
1. If I get routed 5 customers I am left with 7 blank rows when I import into access.
2. If a customer is for example is not home and I am routed the same customer at a latter day, when I call up their info in my WIP form I normally get the first date the customer was routed this records the WIP at the wrong date therefore upsetting searches by date.
How can I remove the blank rows.
How can I sort and remove earlier routed customers leaving the last date.
Thanks
Geoffk

Access 2002.
Hey guys-
I have a software program that I am exporting data out of into excel (it's SQL based). From Excel, I then am importing into Access into an existing table previously created from a similar file (same columns, just different record sets). I am running into problems when importing files...
If I import into a new table, and have Access create the table based off of the Excel file- it works fine. If I try to import more records into this same table, it tells me it failed to import and that an error occured (no error's table created, no error number given). If I delete the original records in the table, and re-import the SAME RECORDS that were originally imported to create the table- it doesn't work. It will only import my files if it creates a brand new table for each import, every time.
Can Access not import into an existing table? It should- but I dont get what's going on here. I have tried DBF, HTML, txt files- all the same results. I really don't want to have to create a new table each time- as now my Queries will have to be updated everytime I create a new table. Can you please help?

Hi,
Another question on this database I'm working on.
I have my database pretty much ready to go, but they would like to import data from another access database into this one.
The problem I'm seeing is, I've been working so hard to normalize my database with the proper relationships etc.
The database I'm importing from, the data there are all stored in huge tables.
so for example in my database I have our main table, that holds all like data. Then my other tables for specfic data that then relate to the main table ID.
The other database has everything in 1 table.
I've created a query and got what I needed from the other database, but not sure how to import it into my main table, and have it so the 'specific' data goes into the right table, and so the Main_ID field points to the correct record in my main table.
I don't think I explained that very well.
Here is how my structure is in the new database
tbl_main
Main_ID
Code_ID
Effective_Date
End_Date
Createdby_ID
tbl_CCE
Main_ID
Codeinfo
etc
etc
now the old database, everything is in 1 table and I'm not sure how to break it down so after I import the table CCE/Main_ID is the same as the Main_ID in my main table.
I'm still not sure if I explained that very well....

Hello,
I need to import the data from one database into another everytime a form opens, I have some code which works:
Function GrabAccessTable()
DoCmd.TransferDatabase transfertype:=acImport, _
databasetype:="Microsoft Access", _
databasename:="\triggerwwwroot$AW@RDAW@RDOnline.mdb", _
objecttype:=acTable, Source:="Main", _
destination:="Table", structureonly:=False
End Function
The problem is that it won't surrently write it into an existing table, I want it to write into a table called Table (stupid choice of name I know....) but instead it creates a new table calle Table1.
Thanks
Richard

Hello,
I have a table that I would like to update with information from a spreadsheet. The table are all of the property records for the county I live in. The table has a unique data field for every record called a "PIN" (Property Indentifier Number). It is in this format: 12-3456-78-90. Because the PIN's were hand entered, sometimes there is a space between the dashes and the numbers, but each PIN is different for every record.
The data from the spreadsheet I want to import has updated sale information for the property records in my table. I want to associate the PIN's in the spreadsheet to the PIN's in my table and only import the new owners name, sale date, and sale price from the spreadsheet to the table.
How would I do this import? It is probably straight forward, but I am a newbie with Access.
I am concerned that because the PIN from the Speadsheet was typed differently from the one table, the import won't work. The numbers are the same, there are just spaces between some of the numbers and dashes.
Thanks
