Insert Microsoft Access Tables Into Excel Spreadsheets
Sep 4, 2007
Hi Folks,
I have MS Access database with 5 tables in it.
And the are few people on my network using excel spreadsheet, which i populate manually everyday from MS Access tables.
Looking for any way i can update the tables and spreadsheet data will will updated as well. and i want to use query in excel to filter data..
Hi, I'm terribly new to Access and am mighty confused!
I'm creating a DB to use with www.cart32.com shopping cart. Here's my question.
I have 50 spreadsheets in MS Excel from 50 different manufacturers (each manufacturer's spreadsheet has the same type of info: : Part #, Description, Price, Weight). I have one main DB in Access called Products.mdb. When I import or link the Excel spreadsheets to Products.mdb they become tables attached to the DB yet when I open the actual products.mdb there is nothing listed..?! When I open the individual tables, everything is there from the Excel spreadsheets. So are tables part of the main database? I'm confused.
Basically, I need some advice on how to manage 50-100 spreadsheets of various manufacturer's products info, import it easily and quickly into MS Access from Excel into a single database, be able to update it when I get new spreadsheets and be able to FTP the DB to my account with Cart32.
I'm trying to import data from a number of excel spreadsheets (which have the same formating, but saved with different names, and at different locations) into an access table (access 2000 file format in access 2003). Can i create a macro to do this? if so what would it need to consist of?
I need to automate this as much as possible. I will need to run it on excel spreadsheets already completed and on any spreadsheets created in the future.
I am not sure how complicated of a job this is, but we want to be able to import our daily recievals of inventory into our existing inventory database instead of entering it by hand. I try using the wizard, however when I get to "finish" it says there was an error and it was not imported.
I don't know much about access but I was hoping one of you could point me in the right direction.
Hi all, I seem to be getting this error when I try to import a query from MS Access to Excel:Too Few Parameters. Expected 1.Now, it runs fine in Access and seems to be a Microsoft Query problem, I know there are some issues around the performance and capability of Microsoft Query but hopefully someone can have a look at my query and see if they can identify my "too few parameters" :)(Sorry about the largeness of the query...)SELECT YPOL_LoadTbl.[Channel Done], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Canvass Code], Sum(YPOL_LoadTbl.[Handl Nisd Amt]) AS [SumOfHandl Nisd Amt], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Issue ID]FROM YPOL_LoadTblGROUP BY YPOL_LoadTbl.[Channel Done], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Canvass Code], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Issue ID]UNIONSELECT "ALL" AS [Channel Done], "ALL" AS [Canvass Code], Sum(YPOL_LoadTbl.[Handl Nisd Amt]) AS [SumOfHandl Nisd Amt], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Issue ID]FROM YPOL_LoadTblGROUP BY YPOL_LoadTbl.[Issue ID]UNIONSELECT YPOL_LoadTbl.[Channel Done], "ALL" AS [Canvass Code], Sum(YPOL_LoadTbl.[Handl Nisd Amt]) AS [SumOfHandl Nisd Amt], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Issue ID]FROM YPOL_LoadTblGROUP BY YPOL_LoadTbl.[Channel Done], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Issue ID]UNIONSELECT YPOL_LoadTbl.[Channel Done], "ALL" AS [Canvass Code], Sum(YPOL_LoadTbl.[Handl Nisd Amt]) AS [SumOfHandl Nisd Amt], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Issue ID]FROM YPOL_LoadTblGROUP BY YPOL_LoadTbl.[Channel Done], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Issue ID]UNION SELECT "ALL" AS [Channel Done], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Canvass Code], Sum(YPOL_LoadTbl.[Handl Nisd Amt]) AS [SumOfHandl Nisd Amt], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Issue ID]FROM YPOL_LoadTblGROUP BY YPOL_LoadTbl.[Canvass Code], YPOL_LoadTbl.[Issue ID];Thanks!
Is there a way of importing MS Excel Spreadsheets but starting from row 8. I am now getting lots of spreadsheets but i only need data from row 8. I have to manually delete the rows and save the spreadsheet then import. Some days i can have more then 1.
I have a form with a subform.In the footer of the subform I have a combobox that get the file names of excel spreadsheets from a folder.I have a button (no code on it yet) that I want to press and import that spreadsheet into the table for the subform and associate it with the main form.
I have developed a Microsoft Access 2010 database for my client and the database is split with Front-end/Back-end, the Back-end and the database is shared on Network, The client operating system and applications for all users are hosted and consistent and the service is delivered over Citrix.
The database some times corrupt the tables record and give a permanent #Delete Error, I have attached one of the database table and the screenshot of the error,
My main experience is with MySQL and PHP so I'm kindof stumbling around in the dark here. Heres my story:
We recieved a new server and migrating from (Windows Server 2000, IIS 5.0, Access 2000) to (Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, Access 2003) has been nothing but problems.
I have setup IIS to work with ASP, I've also setup a system DSN. The access file was copied over from the previous server. We're running Access 2003 and now I can't seem to get this ASP script to work.
When I try to upload a file to the script I get this error:
Line: 42 Char: 7 Error: HELP!!! Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid SQL statement expected 'DELETE','INSERT','PROCEDURE','SELECT', OR 'UPDATE'. Code: 0 Url: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)
Its included in a file called FileRead.htm here is the part that refers to the error lines: Code: var TheFile, FileStrm;// Retrieved field namesvar M_ssn, M_inits, M_Lname, M_Fname, M_DSSN, M_ruc, M_paycode;var M_normamt, M_payamt, M_pgrp, M_poe, M_pltcd, Payrollnum, Payrolldate;// var Trash, FieldData, FieldNames;var TrashLineNum = 1;// Create the file Stream Object (ReadOnly)TheFile = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");FileStrm = TheFile.OpenTextFile(FName,1,false);// Setup the Database Connectionvar SQLCommand, TheRS, TheConnection, DSNString, Commands, MyDC;FieldNames = new Array("ssn","inits","lname","fname","dssn","ruc","cco", "payamt","normamt","notsureone","pgrp","poe", "pltcode","recstatus","paychgflg","paystatuscode", "payrollnum","payrolldate");// Connect the the DatabaseDataLib.ConToDB();MyDC = DataLib.GetDC();// Get Payroll NumberPString = prompt("Enter Payroll Number","025");Payrollnum = parseInt(PString,10);// Get Payroll DateDString = prompt("Enter Payroll Date","20000101");Payrolldate = DateLib.FromMil(DString);// Setup the Database Connectionvar NumRecs = 0;//MyTest = DataLib.GetRS("PaydayUpdate1");alert("About to cross into the CurExtract!!!");MyRS = DataLib.GetRS("SELECT * FROM CurExtract");
I set an alert after this line but it doesn't pop up.
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'll be checking this very frequently.
Hi there, was wondering if there is way to link tables in Microsoft Access, if the primary key is not matching 100%, for example lets assume that we have two table, with fruit type as their content.
Table1 FruitType ORANGE APPLE PEAR
Table 2 FruitType ORAN PPLE EAR
as you can see the content in the second table is somewhat incomplete or corrupted "Orange" is missing an "E", "Apple" is missing an "A", and "Pear" is missing a "P".
I have a question that I have a Microsoft Access database (.accdb) front-end/backend split and I want to give the database to my company client. As we have the different path for the backend/frontend linked. I want some code that will popup if the database location is not found and popup with the dialog so the user then select the backend and it would be ready and there is no need to popup each time the database open, it would run once it did not find the last linked path.
Also I have tried the code of Dev Ashish URL.... but unfortunately it would ask everytime to refresh the table links and I only want to run the process of linking tables when the database start and the linked path not found.
I'm trying to create a video tape library and I'm very new to access. The tapes are numbered 0001-infinity. I want to insert a microsoft word template in each record that I can click on, make changes to one and not change each document in each record by simply changing one. Does this make any sense and if so can someone help?
This is my first post here so please be kind. I have been tasked with analysing data within Access. I currently have a blank database and each month I will need to import approx 600 spreadsheets and then run some queries and output back to Excel.
My problem is that the Spreadsheets are in an odd format (column / row headers) and I am having trouble getting these correctly into access so I can run queries.
I would like to convert a database, which was made for me, in order to enable it to be used on my current system.
I get the error message below when trying to open the database in Microsoft Access 2003.
The database was made using Microsoft Access 2.0.
Will I need Microsoft Access 2.0 to update/delete the database all the time?
Or can I convert this to be used with Microsoft Access 2003?
I have tried opening the file exclusively and I get the same error.
I have selected Show Help and it advises me to import all the objects from the database into a new database. This can`t be achieved as I can`t open the file to retrieve the contents.

A group in my company has, for quite a while now, used a spreadsheet template to capture information needed for customer hard output. Someone built a page, with the less-than-a-dozen required cells in the appropriate places and a set print area, for printing the information. After they enter the information and print the page, they save the excel file. They have been doing this for quite a while now, and the number of files they have on their shared drive is staggering... and the method they using for naming conventions and cataloging them is almost beyond comprehension.
As they do indeed refer back to these files quite a bit, I am wondering if it possible to import the required cells of information from this mass of excel files, all of which are formatted and laid out the same, to an access table. I have never considered this before and have no idea how to start or whether it is even possible. I did a search on "import" but no results match what I am considering here.
To clarify one thing about these files: The information is not contiguous. It is spread all over... C6, E12, F45, J5, etc. They tried to build the form in excel so that it would print in the format they needed.
I am at work, and I have acquired a database that prints labels. They now want the database to be coded so that after certain labels are printed the database will print a blank label. I have the code figured out as a Do While statement in order to print the blank label. The problem I am having is that I am trying to use the Insert Into command to insert the filepath into the table that adds the blank label.
|DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO Rod_tmakLabels ( Print, [Order] ) SELECT Yes AS Expr1, 'Rods Labels' AS Expr2"|
If I run the above command, it just adds the text "Rods Labels" at the end of the table. Is there anyway with the INSERT INTO command that I can insert the new label between the 2nd and 3rd row and add another row? Or is the command designed only to add a new row to the end? I haven't had any luck searching for this yet.
What I would like to know about Microsoft SQL Server & Access 2003 : I am a novice at creating my own database. I would like to use Microsoft SQL Server & Access 2003 . I have in the last 3 months read all I can about creating a database in Microsoft Access 2003 . Now I need to learn about Microsoft SQL Server, and it is very different from Access 2003. I have purchase many bussiness applications over the last 5 years, and fount that over software are to rigid, as I need something very specifil to my bussness. If you intend to reply, please be very specific & in plain English.
Can someone help me ?
1Can Microsoft SQL Server 2000 work with Microsoft access 2003. a.Is this do-able .
2Can Mysql also work with Microsoft access 2003
3What is the difference between Microsoft SQL Server & Mysql.
I have a stock control database which i have nearly completed. This has Manufacturer, which is linked to products, which is linked to Sub Product(which also has field partCode). i.e. Manufacturer1 can have 3 products, and each of these products could have 5 subsystems and partcodes. Each partcode is unique to that subsystem/product/manufacturer.
I then have a pricing spreadsheet in excel, which has many tabs. A new column has been added for each item for Manufacturer,Product,Subsystem and Partcode.
I need to import these manufacturers,products,subsystems and partcodes, but into the tables with the correct relationships, i.e. product1 and product2 are products of manufacturer1 and so cannot come under manufacturer2, and so on.
I hope this makes sense, Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
I have a table for storing details of share prices relating to specific certificate numbers, so only the £ value and the value date changes when we update (done manually at present).
The updates for different companies are done at different times, hence I cannot just delete and import new data, it needs to be an update to a value from an excel sheet (the excell sheet is downloaded from the web provider in question).
I had thought of using "get external data" to create a new or ad to a new table, then an update query to update the main table from the new one, but again cannot seem to get it to work on the specific certificate numbers.
As you can see I have little knowledge on code etc, and have so far only used macros to automate the application we use, can anyone please help???
Is it possible to import data from Excel to Access?
I have a program which dumps 4 Excel files full of useful info which I need to analyse and report. Access would be an ideal tool to do this but the volume of info means it has to take the data rather than copying and pasting each section.
I am trying to write some code to import an excel table into access. I want to delete and append a table already in the database. I am having trouble writing the code to do this. If this is at all possible through excel, I would prefer to export the table from excel into access. Otherwise if that's not possible, a macro to import from excel will do.
Is there any way to fill cells in Access tables with the results of using vLookup in an Excel worksheet? I'm trying to vLookup the quantity of products sold in the worksheet and make that number available on an Access table and form. Can the two aps jibe like this?
I am trying to import certain data from a massive excel workbook into different Access tables but some of the worksheets contain simple formulas such as multiplication and division. I was wondering if it is possible to create these same formulas within Access? If it is possible then what are the necessary steps to create them? Thanks!
