When a txt file is imported it can fail the validation - when this happens ive been told it creates a table with the rejected records
ive been searching the internet for hours now, and everything ive read suggests it just appears as a new table. But it doesnt - how to i view this table, doe it have a button somewhere to turn this feature on?
i really need to view the rejected records but theres no new table after importing, what am i doing wrong?
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.
Hi All I'm trying import an excel spreadsheet into an exisiting table. But there are some conversion errors in some records. But there is no conversion error table or log for me to trace. Anyone knows how can I find the records with error in order to fix them? Thanks in advance!
I routinely import from an Excel document provided by a third party. Most data in it is ok, but 10-15 records always end up in the import error tables which Access creates automatically when formats do not match. I am trying to automate this whole process thru VBA and am pretty successful so far, except that I haven't figured out how to programatically get rid of these tables (I do not need them, and data imports anyway). Is there a way to destroy a table programatically in Access?
I am having trouble getting the following code to load data from my Excel file "Book.xlsx" into my table called "ExcelDataBook":
Sub btnExcelImport_Click() DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "ExcelDataBook", _ "C:Usersdacampb1DesktopBook.xlsx", , "Sheet1!A1:B12000" End Sub
The Excel file only has one sheet "Sheet1' and has only 10,504 rows but this can vary so I set it in the code for 12,000 rows. The sheet has only two columns "A" and "B" with the first row of the two columns labeled "Store" and "Amount" and my tabel has only two fields "Store" and "Amount".My error reads: Run-time error '2391': Field 'F1' doesn't exist in the destination table 'ExcelDataBook.'
I am attempting to set up a saved import procedure in an Access database that will be run programmatically using docmd.RunSavedImportExport. The source document is an Excel file.My goal is to trap any import errors caused by inconsistencies in the source data. I'd also like to provide the user with some small amount of feedback on what is causing these errors.
My initial thought was to make use of the "File_ImportErrors" table that is generated following an unsuccessful import. *Not once* has this import procedure consistently generated an error table - sometimes the table is created, sometimes it isn't.
I have tried changing the file format of the import file to comma- and tab-delimited files, respectively. Both of these formats do consistently generate an error table, however none of the error values in the table are accurate - it reports a slew of type conversion errors for fields that are completely consistent and unproblematic, whilst completely overlooking conspicuous errors from text strings in date fields.
I have tried the same import, both procedurally and manually, using all available Excel and text-delimited formats, with the same respective results.I notice that nearly every thread on AWF pertaining to error tables discusses how to delete them, rather than make effective use of them. I suspect this is perhaps why?
When I import an excel sheet into Microsoft Access database tables, I get a automatic [table name]_$importErrors table generated. Almost always, errors are type mismatch error. Then, I need to go manually fix the cells.
Is there a way to automatically point to excel cell(s) which have error(s)? I am trying to write a VBA code which opens an excel sheet if an "importError" table gets generated automatically after import. Then, it goes directly to a cell in the sheet where it has errors with a click of button in the Access form.
I'm getting an import error that records are being 3 records being deleted and one lost due to violations. However when I go back to check the data that was imported I can't find anything missing. Any clues on what could cause the error but still import the data.
So I have a macro in excel which imports data from the excel sheet to a table in access db. Now the excel file has 4 columns which have dates.
- I imported the excel file from access via access so that I can get the heading of the table and the table is created. Then I deleted all the data in the table.
- When the table was imported 2 of the date columns got set as Short/text data type. Dont know why.
- Now, if I leave the data type as it is in Access table, my macro button in EXCEL works fine and imports the data to Access. If I change the data type, in access design, of the two data columns to date type, I get the type mismatch error when I run the import macro button in EXCEL. I am going nuts over this error. I even created a blank table in access and defined data types to all columns which would be imported from excel. but still excel macro button shows the same error.
I checked the format of all the four date columns is date.
I did a lot of hit and try and could it be the case that if access table fields are defined properly, but any of the data columns cells in excel sheet is null/empty, it will show the type mismatch error.
is it possible and is there a way, that once the data is imported to access, I can convert the value in the column from short text to date type.

ALTERNATIVELY, is it possible and is there a way, that once the data is imported to access, I can convert the value in the column from short text to date type.
I have lots of CSV files that are per day and are as follows:
File 1:
Username Time Bob 2 Joe 6
File 2: Username Time Joe 8 Sue 6
Essentially what I want to do is import each file into one table where if the username is not in the database it creates it, if its already in there a new column is created with the date. I dont mind creating multiple tables for each date and merging them.
So after those two files above were imported my table would look like this:
Username Time1 Time2 Bob 2 0 Joe 6 8 Sue 0 6
There are not many individual dates for that to be a problem, but there are over 5k different usernames in each file so I can't eyeball anything lol.
I am fairly new to access, but I am seasoned in MYSQL and Oracle. I've done some light searching on these forums and have not really come accross anything I need.
1) for exporting an existing table with data to an seperate MDB file (filename to be given by user using a dialogbox) 2) importing the MDB file (from question 1) back into the existing table in the original database. Script does not have to worry for dublicate data.
I have a form that I am trying to setup to click on the button and it opens dialog box to select file, then it transfers/appends the data into an existing table. I got the button to open the dialog box and select the file, but nothing is being added to the table. Can someone please help?
I have created an xls and its the same format as the table in my db. Same column name and same data type. However, when I try to import the xls to an existing table in my db, there was an error message that says, "An error occurred while trying to import file 'C:MyDocumentsPOSystem_Book.xls'. The file was not imported'". This error does not occur when I import it to a new table. Can anyone help in this? A million thanks in advance.
I have a macro that imports a table from a network drive. I have hard coded in the path. However, each year file location changes. Is there a way in a Macro to adjust the code based on some other parameter?
Under the "TransferDatabase" action, for the "Database Name", I hard coded:
y:sidewalks2006swk_master.mdb
However, I want the 2006 to automatically come from some other location. Here’s what I tried to no avail (where I wanted the dlookup to return 2006):
I have been given a paradox .DB file that I can (seemingly) "import" to Access 2002 SP3 using File/Get External Data/Import. (Am not choosing "Link Tables"). It gets imported as Type Table: Linked Paradox. When I then open the table for a datasheet view, the following happens: (1) datasheet window appears with field headings and normal-appearing data in all records and fields (2) error msg appears "Reserved error (-5016), there is no message for this error" (3) When I close the msg box, all field data gets replaced by #Name? I can open the table in design view, but no properties can be edited.
This has to be an easy one but I can't seem to figure it out. I created a table by importing the structure from a .dbf file. Now I simply want to import other .dbf records from a bunch of .dbf files that have the exact same structure. How do Import these records into my existing table?
This should be a no brainer but I have spent an hour or so searching the help file and the internet.:mad:
Is there a way to import the records from another database table? I have an inventory database, blank, only the backend data is there. So everyone goes out on their own and gets inventory. At the end of the day, I would like to get flie 1, file 2, file 3, and only open file one, and only import the record from the other two inventory tables.
All these files will be exactly the same(Tables, queries,forms, everything). The only thing that will be different will be the data in the inventory table. Thanks for you help!
Hi all, I use an Excel import to update tabel 'deelnemer'. This works oke BUT when user 'x' has a linked field in tabel 'B' the import fails due to RI (I think..) How can I make it so in this code that the user record is updated and can I restore the RI (otherwise my forms won't work..) This is the code I use for importing the Excel file: DoCmd.CopyObject , "Deelnemer_copy", acTable, "Deelnemer" DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.RunSQL "Delete * from deelnemer" DoCmd.SetWarnings True
ImportFile = Application.CurrentProject.Path & "Deelnemer.xls" DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel3, "Deelnemer", ImportFile, True Please help me on this, breaking my head over it and I'm newbie on all this.. Thanks in advance !
