View 1 Replies View RelatedPush Data From Current Record In Form Into A New Excel File, Using Excel Template
Sep 10, 2007I searched the archive and didn't find quite what I was looking for, so..
I have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet work-in-progress being used as a template (developed by others) to prepare project cost estimates in a complex regulatory environment. We are 'modelling on the fly' for a number of projects until we are comfortable with the estimate model, after which time I intend to incorporate our 'stable' estimate methodology into Access. Meanwhile, I am 'stuck' with the Excel spreadsheet.
I have a project tracking database (Access 2003), and I want to be able to track my estimates. I do NOT want to embed my spreadsheets into the db, just a filelink. There can be more than 1 estimate per project.
Ideally, the user should be able to define a project in the Access db (or select one already defined) and click a 'make estimate' button, which would generate a new Excel file in a predefined directory (based on the present version of the .xlt file), give it an appropriate filename (based on the Access ProjectID and estimate sequence number for that project if there were others already), open up that workbook in Excel, and then autopopulate some cells based on information showing on the original form in Access!
A separate button for 'Open existing estimate' will eventually be required, but I think I could do that if I can get someone to walk me through the steps required above.
I am somewhat familiar with vba in Access, but am an absolute rookie when it comes to excel.
Edit: I left out that I would also add an appropriate record to a table like tblEstimate which would contain the link(s) to the estimate(s). This table will obviously contain a FK to tblProject
Linked Excel File - Excel Date Field Translated To Text?
Mar 23, 2006I have an excel file linked to a table in Access. Several fields are date data types in excel but are showing up as text fields in Access.
My real goal is to do a comparison between two tables, but only if the date of the one piece of data is newer than the other. I had planned on comparing the two date fields but even though I have formatted the date fields in my excel file to be "Date", when I look at the design view of my table it is showing up as "Text" and therefore I am unable to do this comparison.
I'm not sure if it's just something that I'm missing but maybe someone else knows an easy fix to this. I know this is probably a simple question, but I did search the forum and didn't find a thread that specifically dealt with this issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.
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.
Print Excel To PDF From Access
Aug 17, 2006Okay access experts, I"m going to need some major help here. My company has created a new rule to force all reports into pdf format to "save space." Many of my reports go into excel templates I have set up from within Access using vba code. It would take forever to have to print every single one of these reports into a PDF from Excel. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this programmatically? Here is what I"m thinking:
1. Access feeds information to Excel's hidden window.
2. The default printer is temporarily changed to the "Adobe PDF" using code.
3. The document is sent to the printer from within Access without even showing the window to the end user.
4. The name of the pdf is filled in automatically and saved to the user's desktop..Can this be done?
I await any advice on how to make this work. I already have code to change the default printer temporarily which should work fine, but I'm stuck on the rest fo now.
Thanks for any and all help!

Print Recordset To File
Sep 28, 2005hi guys,
i'm trying to run a recordset and export the string of each record into a txt file. from all the examples ive seen the way i'm doing it is right but i'm not getting any data to go into the actual file. my loop works perfect (as i watched it in debug mode) and it makes the string, my file just isnt getting outputted.
heres the code:
Private Sub btneParcel_Click()
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim strContents As String
Dim lngFileNum As Long
Const strFileName = "g:worksdatImport01.txt"
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM QryeParcelExport")
If rs.RecordCount > 0 Then
'header lines
strContents = "ISA*" & Format(Now, "yyyymmdd") & "*" & Format(Now, "hhnnss")
strContents = strContents & vbCr & "GS*CN"
Do While Not rs.EOF
'detail
strContents = strContents & "ST*"
strContents = strContents & vbCr & "CN*" & rs("EntryDate") & "*" & rs("EntryTime") & "*E*" & rs("CustId") & "*" & rs("CustName") & "*" & rs("CustAddr1") & "*" & rs("CustAddr2") & "*" & rs("CustAddr3") & "*" & rs("CustCountry") & "*" & rs("CustPhone") & "*" & rs("ChargeAcctNo")
rs.MoveNext
Loop
'footer
strContents = strContents & "GE*8"
strContents = strContents & vbCr & "IEA*36"
lngFileNum = FreeFile
Open strFileName For Output As #lngFileNum
Print #lngFileNum, strContents
Close #lngFileNum
MsgBox "Client Data has been successfully exported to G:Import01.txt", vbExclamation
End If
End Sub
anyone able to help with this? actually just reading my code, do i need another new line at the end of my string? think parts are going to one massive line that should be seperate lines...but that should still output something.
VBA To Locate A File And Print It
Dec 19, 2013I'm very new to Access and especially VBA. How to get started with the correct syntax for locating a file, and printing it. The file will be a PDF and if possible I would like to declare a variable for the file name (not the path) so if it is changed I can just change the variable instead of looking for it in the code. I plan to have 10 of these.
View 6 Replies View RelatedDisable File-->Print Option
Dec 12, 2006I have a Print button on a form, which actually prints off a report for the user.
Some of them seem to be trying File-->Print, which actually just prints the form instead of the report and no matter how many times I've told them to use the Print button, they seem incapable of remembering.
Is there a way to turn off the File-->Print option ?

Macro - Print To Adobe PDF File And Save As Database Name
Dec 16, 2004Using Access 2000, I have a macro to generate a report by updating various make-table queiries. I would like for the macro to print the report to an Adobe PDF file and save the file as the database name.
When I manually print the report, it gives me the opition of selecting printers and Adobe PDF is listed as a printer. After selecting the "printer", a "Save As PDF" menu pops up and currently it lists the Access Report Name. I would like to use the database name as the name of the PDF file.
In short, when I execute the "Generate Report" macro, I want the end product to be a PDF file using the database name as the PDF file name.
Reports :: Output / Print Results Of A Query To Text File
Dec 13, 2013I have researched on here how to print the results of a query to a text file. I put the code in and I get an error on the openrecordset line. The error says "too few parameters, expected 4"
I tried the query in another report I export to excel and the query works.
I tried printing the whole table using "Select * from tbl_Customers" and it works????
Here is the code:
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qryBell1", dbOpenSnapshot)
Dim fs, TextFile
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set TextFile = fs.CreateTextFile(pathname, True)
[Code] ....
the query returns 6 fields for printing and can filter based on whether 3 fields are filled or not on the form - Date, Campaign, Status
Output To An Excel File
Nov 24, 2005I am having a problem getting Access to output to an excel file.
I want to take a form that I have that has 20 or so records with 6 or 7 fields for each and put it into an excel file that is formated the way I need everythign to look.

I tried using vb code and doing an output to comand but that did not work.
I am confused someone please help if possible.
Import An Excel File
May 30, 2007I have an excel file worksheet(player info sheet)that the user would input information. I then copy that info into another worksheet(player info) in the data fields that I have defined in Access. I then open up my Access database and do a file-get external data-import.

I cannot figure out why. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Import Excel File
Apr 3, 2007Does anyone know if there is a special way to import a CSV file starting from a specific row. I have CSV files and the first row is header information.

Modules & VBA :: How To Append Text To A Text File With The Print Statement
Jun 5, 2013I'm trying to figure out at what point an error message occurs while a database is closing. This problem only occurs if someone clicks on the red close button on the top right of the screen when there are several forms open. If the user exists normally there is NO problem.
I am attempting to use the print statement to write to a text file to track what is happening as the database shuts down. Unfortunately, the open (print) statement, when issued, zaps any prior contents which precludes having a full printed record. I am hoping for a print syntax that would allow appending.
Code:
Open "ErrorReport.txt" for Output as #1
Appended text to the file to show what is happening in that event.
Close #1
The program, in closing, does stop with an error message that a certain file can't be found. But when I click on debug, the program simply closes. I have also commented out VBA references to the file that can't be found, but the error still persists .
Importing Data From Excel Csv File
Aug 1, 2005hi, i have struggled to import some data from an excel file into an sql database..
i have used phpmyadmin and certain code snippets but have failed miserably..
basically my excel file has lots of data, and within each cell, each bit of data is in single quotes...
eg.
'jonathan' '23' 'hardman' 'cheese'
there are no headings in the excel file (as in column or row titles) the data is just raw.
once i have made the table (with the appropriate fields and datatypes for the csv file) how can i import that data into a table using ms access???
