VBA to convert a query to a table [duplicate] - ms-access

Question

I have a CSV file that needs to be imported into Access using a linked table. However, this exceeds the 255 column limit.
This was solved by using some VBA with a button. On press the data is loaded into a linked table. I now need to add some extra code under this to create a copy of the linked table and save it as a local table.
This needs to be done on one press of the button. Below is what i have got currently.
Private Sub cmdImportExcel_Click()
'DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, , "tblRawTestData", "C:\Users\jacklythgoe\documents\Access\Test Analyzer\data\TestResultsCopy.csv", True, Range:="TestResultsCopy!A:C"
' Requires reference to Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library.
Dim fDialog As Office.FileDialog
Dim varFile As Variant
Dim testResultsWorkSheet As Worksheet, strFile As String
' Set up the File Dialog.
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fDialog
' Allow user to make multiple selections in dialog box
.AllowMultiSelect = True
' Set the title of the dialog box.
.Title = "Please select the font(s)."
' Clear out the current filters, and add our own.
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "Text File", "*.csv"
' Show the dialog box. If the .Show method returns True, the
' user picked at least one file. If the .Show method returns
' False, the user clicked Cancel.
If .Show = True Then
'Loop through each file selected and add it to our list box.
For Each varFile In .SelectedItems
Next
End If
End With
DoCmd.TransferText TransferType:=acLinkDelim, tableName:="tblImport", FileName:="C:\Users\jacklythgoe\Documents\Access\Test Analyzer\data\TestResultsCopy.csv", HasFieldNames:=False
'DoCmd.TransferText TransferType:=acLinkDelim, TableName:="tblImport", FileName:="C:\MyData.csv", HasFieldNames:=True
End Sub

Answer 1

You could try something like this:
DoCmd.CopyObject , "tblImport_Copy", acTable, "tblImport"
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, "tblImport_Copy", True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdConvertLinkedTableToLocal
Makes a copy of the linked table, 2. Selects the copy, 3. Converts into a lokal table

Answer 2

Not sure if you have all the details in your question.
If you already have solved the issue with the linking the CSV file as a table, then just build a make table query that selects the fields from the linked csv file and run the query from your button click event. It creates a local table for you
Something like this would work:
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim lngRowsAffected As Long
Dim lngRowsDeleted As Long
Set db = CurrentDb
' Execute runs both saved queries and SQL strings
db.Execute <mymaketablequery>, dbFailOnError
' Get the number of rows inserted.
lngRowsAffected = db.RecordsAffected
Msgbox "Inserted " & lngRowsAffected & " new records"
