Recordset writing ÿþ to CSV file instead of query results - ms-access

I have a VBS file that queries an access database and writes the results to a .CSV file. The only thing being written to the .CSV file is ÿþ.
I am using the same VBS file with a more complex query and it runs fine. Both queries return 2 fields of the same type. The only change between the 2 files is the SQL query. Also if I paste the query I'm trying to use into Access, it runs the query as expected.
Here is the VBS file:
Dim connStr, objConn, getNames, objFSO, rs
Const ForWriting = 2
'Make and open progress window
On Error Resume Next
Set objExplorer = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objExplorer.Navigate "about:blank"
objExplorer.ToolBar = 0
objExplorer.StatusBar = 0
objExplorer.Width = 400
objExplorer.Height = 200
objExplorer.Visible = 1
objExplorer.Silent = 1
objExplorer.Document.Title = "Script in progress"
objExplorer.Document.Body.InnerHTML = "Your Script is being processed. " & "This might take several minutes to complete. Closing this window will stop the script. So don't close this window ^_^"
'Create csv file
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objLogFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("\\192.168.100.4\data\IT\Scripts\testData.csv", ForWriting, True)
'Define Db String
connStr = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=\\192.168.100.16\Sage\2016\Connex\Sage100Shadow_CHRIS.mdb"
'Define object type
Set objConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
'Open Connection
objConn.Open connStr
'Define recordset and SQL query
Set rs = objConn.Execute("SELECT [BillNo],[InStock] FROM qryKitInvNums;")
MsgBox(rs.Fields(0).Type & ", " & rs.Fields(1).Type)
'While loop, loops through all available results
Do While Not rs.EOF
'add values seperated by comma to getNames
getNames = rs.Fields(0) & "," & rs.Fields(1)
'Write current record to LogFile
objLogFile.Write getNames
'Line return for next record in LogFile
objLogFile.Writeline
'move to next result before looping again
rs.MoveNext
'continue loop
Loop
MsgBox(getNames)
'Close connection and release objects
objLogFile.Close
objConn.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set objConn = Nothing
'Closes progress window
objExplorer.Document.Body.InnerHTML = "Your Script is now complete."
WScript.Sleep 2000
objExplorer.Quit
Here is a copy of the working VBS file. The only difference is the SQL query which still returns 2 fields of same type as the first VBS file.
Dim connStr, objConn, getNames, objFSO

VBS DTEXEC - SSIS Package fails to fully execute before continuing on

I have a vbs script that's failing to finish loading a file before moving on to the next steps. I've been using this code for 2+ years so this is likely due to my poor code and error handling - If the SSIS package fails to fully load, the procedure should kick out and alert me - Can someone point me in the right direction to make sure this package fully loads or if it fails, truncate the stage table and try again?
The file can range from 50mb to 1.2Gb

Microsoft Access Database - Downloading ALL attachments from MULTIPLE entries

Exporting data from SCADA system

I am trying to create VBscript to export process data from a SCADA system (WinCC RT Professional) to periodically archive all process variables. The data are stored in SQL table that can be accessed through a connectivity pack. I managed to make the script working when exporting one tag (process variable), but I would like to loop over all tags in the system (about 60), collect them in another recordset and then all data from this recordset save in one csv-file. I have created RecSet that collects all variables (fields) of one tag (Time, Process Variable etc.), I only need values from Field 4 (the same field for all tags). I would then like to copy this field in another recordset - RecSetColl which collects all required data (Field 4) from all tags and finally save them in the CSV file. Thank you very much for any help.

I do not really know whats not working, but a guess;
Does ValueID = 0 , (the "i" in the "for 0 to 4" ) exist in your project?
In the table "Archive" you will find the valid ValueIDs, starts with "1" in all my projects. It's simple to see in SQL Management Studio, perhaps sometimes 0 exist.
To get all the values exported, query the "Archive" table first and then ask for data in a loop using whatever ValueID's is returned.

Export Excel Range to Access table VBA

I want to have a button on the Excel spreadsheet and have the data copied to the Access table.
The range is an auto-populated field from another sheet in the same workbook.
I tried few codes to make this happen, but I either get an error 1004: application-defined or object-defined error, or no error but data not being copied in Access DB.
My code is copied below.
Sub Export_Data()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim dbPath
Dim x As Long, i As Long
dbPath = "H:\RFD\RequestForData.accdb"
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & dbPath
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset 'assign memory to the recordset
rst.Open Source:="tblRequests", ActiveConnection:=cnn, _
CursorType:=adOpenDynamic, LockType:=adLockOptimistic, _
Options:=adCmdTable
rst.AddNew
For i = 1 To 13
rst(Cells(1, i).Value) = Cells(x, i).Value
Next i
rst.Update
rst.Close
cnn.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set cnn = Nothing
MsgBox " The data has been successfully sent to the access database"
Set rst = Nothing
Set cnn = Nothing
End Sub
Looking at your Subroutine I see two things that can make it not to work:
rst(Cells(1, i).Value) = Cells(x, i).Value <- Where is 'x' initialized?
There is only one loop that moves over the fields but I think it should be another loop for the rows in the Excel.
With this two changes, the loop when the records are save could become something like this:
For x = 1 TO lastRow ' Last row has to be calculated somehow
rst.AddNew
For i = 1 To 13
rst(Cells(1, i).Value) = Cells(x, i).Value
Next i
rst.Update
Next x
Hope it helps.

Using DoCmd.OutputTo to export an Access query to multiple Excel files

I have a query "myQuery" that returns more than 65,000 records, and as such, cannot be exported to one .xlsx file.
I'm attempting to break up this output to multiple files.
I'm still very much a beginner with VBA, but I've put the following together as best I can from research. This code is intended to iterate through the queried data, then output a new file for each 65,000 records.
Private Sub btnfrm1export_Click()
Dim outputFileName As String
Dim dlgOpen As FileDialog
Dim numFiles As Integer
Dim rs As String
Dim numr As Integer
Dim sql As String
Dim rec As Recordset
'Allows user to pick destination for files and gives value to sItem.
Set dlgOpen = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With dlgOpen
.Title = "Select a Folder"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
If .Show <> -1 Then
sItem = .SelectedItems(1)
End If
End With
'Counts the records in myQuery to give the number of files needed to numFiles, assuming 60,000 records per file.
Set rec = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("myQuery")
numFiles = Round(rec.RecordCount / 60000, 0)
numr = 1
' Changes the SQL of the query _vba in the current Database to select 60000 records from myQuery
rs = "SELECT TOP 60000 myQuery.* FROM myQuery"
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("_vba").sql = rs
'Defines SQL for clearing top 60000 (used in the following loop).
sql = "DELETE TOP 60000 myQuery.* FROM myQuery"
'Loops once to create each file needed
Do While numFiles > 0
'Sets a file name based on the destination folder, the file number numr, and information from a combobutton cbo1 on Form frm1.
outputFileName = sItem & "\" & Forms!frm1!cbo1 & "_Report_Pt" & numr & "_" & Format(Date, "yyyyMMdd") & ".xlsx"
'Outputs top 60000 of myQuery records to an excel file.
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "_vba", acFormatXLSX, outputFileName
numFiles = numFiles - 1
numr = numr + 1
'Deletes top 60000 from myQuery.
CurrentDb.Execute sql
Loop
End Sub
However, I'm getting:
Run-time error '2302': Microsoft Access can't save the output data to the file you've selected.
at DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "_vba", acFormatXLSX, outputFileName
I do need this to be automated in vba and without pop-ups, etc. Any suggestions to make my code more efficient and proper is appreciated, but the REAL question is how to eliminate the error with DoCmd.OutputTo or make this work.
Thanks for any and all help!
Although the subject line concerns trying to output multiple Excel files, the real issue is trying to create an Excel file from an Access table or query which contains more than 65,000 rows - by using VBA. If VBA is NOT a requirement, then you can export a query or table by right-clicking on the object name, selecting export, then Excel. DO NOT check the box for 'Export data with formatting...' and it will work.
