Before splitting my database I was using a macro for importing excel file to my table and it was okey.
Now after splitting database when I use that macro from front-end I got error:
You cannot record your changes because a value you entered violates the
settings defined for this table or list (for example, a value is less than
the minimum or greater than the maximum). Correct the error and try again."
The error number on the Macro Single Step pop-up is 2950.
when i use macro from back-end it does not have problem and works.
please help because i need importing from front-end.
equivalent VBA code for macro i have used is like below, it works from back-end and gives error from the front-end:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 8, "Rep_Indicator", "E:\Rep_Indicator", True, ""

I have a pass through query built in Teradata set to export data to an Excel spreadsheet. I'm trying to automate it, but when I run the macro or open the query, a window pops up asking for the data source. I have an ODBC connection created and I'm thinking there has to be a way to make the macro pass the data source name so it will run without interaction.
Edit: Adding Macro as requested
Function AutoExec()
On Error GoTo AutoExec_Err
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "Performance Interval Data", "ExcelWorkbook(*.xlsx)", _
"filepath\filename.xlsx", False, "", , acExportQualityPrint
DoCmd.Quit acExit
AutoExec_Exit:
Exit Function
AutoExec_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume AutoExec_Exit
End Function
Couple of concerns, (can't validate any of this right now as I do not currently have access to Access for testing), but it looks like:
You're trying to OutputTo a query, to the best of my knowledge that
is not feasible.
Your file path is setup as filepath\filename.xlsx unless that is the actual location and name of your Excel sheet, something seems
wrong there to me.
I don't really think this macro relates to an ODBC of any sort in its current state.
But, you should at least start with fixing the filepath issue. That should be the full path to your Excel file and the full name of the file as well. (i.e. C:\TEMP\TestExcelSheet.xlsx)
All that being said, you may want to just go with something like this (although its a little difficult to tell if this is what you actually want or not):
'Export Excel file from Query
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, , "acOutputQuery", _
"C:\TEMP\TestExcelSheet.xlsx", True
NOTE: "acOutputQuery" should be the actual name of your passthrough query, "C:\TEMP\TestExcelSheet.xlsx" would be your destination path, and True adds the query's headers into the sheet, False to ignore the headers.
I am very new to MS Access, forgive me for this simple question but I am very confused with my current problem.
So I want to run a VBA function after a table receives an update on one of its fields. What I have done is:
Create a Macro named Macro_update under CREATE->Macro, with action RunCode, and its argument is the VBA function I wish to run. The function has no bug.
Select my table, and under Table->After Update, I wrote
IF [Old].[status]=0 And [status]=1 THEN
RunDataMacro
MacroName Macro_update
But after I update my status field in my table nothing happened... I am suspicious of the fact that in step 2 my action is RunDataMacro, but I am actually running a Macro (is there a difference?)... any help is appreciated!
You can use a Data Macro to get it working locally for now. This means that the table will need to be stored in an Access database.
If your web service is not actually using the Access Runtime to interface with the access database container, then the data macros may not fire correctly nor as intended. Your mileage may vary.
If you later migrate your database to a SQL server (MySQL, Microsoft SQL, PostgreSQL) then your data macros will need to be implemented natively on the SQL server as a Trigger.
For now, I'm writing some instructions below to demonstrate how to call a VBA function from a Data Macro locally within a single Access database:
Create the VBA Function This will be the function that you want to call from the data Macro.
Create this in a Module, not in a Form or Class Module.
This has to be a function and cannot be a sub
Code:
Public Function VBAFunction(OldValue As String, NewValue As String) As String
Debug.Print "Old: " & Chr(34) & OldValue & Chr(34);
Debug.Print vbTab;
Debug.Print "New: " & Chr(34) & NewValue & Chr(34)
VBAFunction = "Worked"
End Function
Create the Data Macro (Going to be more descriptive here since people get lost here easy)
Open the Table (i.e. TestTable) in Design View
Find the correct Ribbon
In table design view, there is a contextual ribbon called Design.
On that ribbon, there is an option called Create Data Macros
Click on Create Data Macros and select After Update
The Macro Designer window should now open
Choose SetLocalVar from the Add New Action combo box
A SetLocalVar section appears.
In this section, I see Name and Expression
Set Name to an arbitrary value, such as: MyLocalVar
Set Expression to the following
Be sure to type the = sign, which will result in two equal signs being shown
Expression Text:
=VBAFunction([Old].[FieldName],[FieldName])
Save the Data Macro and Close the Macro Designer.
Save the Table and Close the Table
Test It: Create an Update Query
Next you will need to create an Update Query that performs an update on the Table that houses the Data Macro you just created.
To test this, you can just update a string field in all records to one value.
UPDATE [TestTable] SET [TestText] = "Test"
Run the query
Press Control + G to bring up the Immediate Window. You will notice that the Data Macro fired for every updated record.
I have this code that works on one spreadsheet, but not another. I am just trying to automate the transfer of an excel data range to an access table, like so
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "UsysFastTrack", strFilePath, False, strRange
strFilePath and strRange are just strings that contain the full file path (including the worksheet name and extension) and the name of an excel range in the worksheet, respectively. This line causes an error
The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object ...
This error appears a lot online and somewhere I saw the advice to try the import wizard to see what I get and lo and behold, right as I hit the last Next
This is the exact same error and it stops me dead in my tracks. What's funny is that you can see the range exists in the spreadsheet before your very eyes.
What's going on here?
Looks like the names of your named ranges are not valid, they are similar to regular ranges. Try to change names
In a VB6 program, with an Access 2000 database, I want to read a .CSV file, with table field names in the first record, into a new Access table.
Here is my VB6 code:
With CreateObject("Access.Application")
.OpenCurrentDatabase "C:\Database1.accdb"
.DoCmd.TransferText , , newTable, importFile, True
.Quit
End With
The DoCmd.TransferText command gives me the following error:
Error # 3107 (MSAccess: Record(s) cannot be added; no insert permission on 'Table Name'.)
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Seeking clarification - are you running this with block from the database you are also opening through .OpenCurrentDatabase? If so, it is my understanding that call is for opening Access from another application (MSDN), so you may be blocking yourself from editing the records. DoCmd.TransferText by itself should suffice to import the records if this scenario's assumption is true.
For future purposes note you can insert code with greater legibility by clicking the Code Sample icon or pressing Ctrl + K when writing your submission.
This is about a legacy Access 2003 database that I've inherited. There's some code that links an Excel (97-2003) spreadsheet:
tdf.Connect = "Excel 5.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=2;DATABASE="&strXLFileName
tdf.SourceTableName = strSourceTableName & "$"
CurrentDb.TableDefs.Append tdf
When I open the linked table afterwards, I see #Num! in place of numeric values in a column that is supposed to contain both numeric and text.
For example, in Excel:
Field1
H88
234
X65
432
Linked table in Access:
Field1
H88
#Num!
X65
#Num!
I've tried the following:(a) changing Excel 5.0 to Excel 8.0, which is more accurate for the format the soruce files are in; (b) importing using DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet instead of linking.
The first still gives #Num!, while importing gives nulls.
Upgrading to later versions is not an option at the moment - there are a number of places within the code that use things that Application.FileSearch that require careful rewriting and testing.
Anyone know how to get Access 2003 to treat the "numbers" like they were text, too?
TIA!
Change IMEX=2 to IMEX=1 to treat all the values as text.
