Importing text files into MS Access using a MacroI have 2 problems:
1. I want to import a single text file into an access table using a
Macro. I am however getting an error that I need to put a
specification name argument. What does this mean? It also suggests
that I add a schema.ini in the source folder. What does this .ini do
and how do I create and use it?
2. After this is resolved, I would like to be able to import several
text files using a macro into the same table.
Thanks
I'm sure others will be able to shed more light on this:
To create an import/export specification, launch the Import Wizard:
File | Get External Data | Import...
Point to the desired txt file
Select the "Advanced..." button
Specify the field delimiter, the text qualifier (you might want to
select "" in case some of your incoming text fields have punctuations,
etc.), and the field names and data types, etc.
Then select "Save As" and give that set of specifications a name.
You can now use this set of import/export specifications in a macro or
in a VBA module.
To see these specs as they are saved in the mdb file, select Tools |
Options | View, and check System Objects. You'll now see the tables,
MSysIMEXSpecs and MSysIMEXColumns.
PS you might want to "unshow" these system objects once you've looked at
them so you don't accidentally hose them...

How to import a tab delimited text file into MS Access databaseHi,
I have the following task to be done in VC++ 6.0. I have a tab
delimited text file that needs to be imported into a MS Access table.
The table is created and the table structure is defined using DAO
methods. So now I have to fill this table with the data in the text
files. For a few rows in the text file, the number of columns could be
less than the number of columns in the table. Can anyone please post me
the code to do this. Thanks a ton in advance.

We'd be happy to give you the VBA code, but do you really want to throw away
your C++ and use Microsoft Access for the job? If you want to keep C++, you
can ask for C++ code in another newsgroup, because we'd just be guessing.

Wrapping TextI'm trying to export an Access table to a pipe-delimited text file (with no
text qualifier) and it keeps wrapping the text for one of the tables. None of
the fields are particularly long, so I'm not sure why it's doing this. Any
ideas how I can stop it from wrapping the text in the text file?

Nevermind, figured it out. Looks like there was a carriage return in defining
one of the cells in the query.

Old ms-access file, showing wrong text in access xpDear sirs:

No text file import choice in Access 97 import dialog box
I have been through every trick I know, or has been suggested.
I have a one to two million line fixed field database in text format.
I want to bring it into Access 97.
When I use the external data import, the list of files to import does
not include text files of any type, only other database formats.
On a 102,000 line text file, I was able to split it with Word 97,
import the split files into Excel 97 one at a time, and then save them
as dbf files. Access can read those. The bigger file would require
days of grief to do that with it.
I have been able to do this on other systems, but my copy of Office 97
Pro refuses to install all the file translation stuff for Access. It
goes through the motions, and reports success, but nothing has
changed. Two of the choices in the add/remove in setup will do
neither. Can't remove them, and can't install them.
I had a lot of trouble with Office 97 when I first installed it in a
different directory from a partial install of Office 2000. Later I
uninstalled 2000, but it seemed to have left a whole lot of stuff
behind, and reinstalling or repairing 97 didn't improve things.
So, I finally uninstalled 97, and then used the wonderful delete key
on every file or folder that looked like it might have anything to do
with Office of any kind. Granted, a bit of a judgment call, and
something else was sure to break, but I didn't want to have to
reinstall all four Gigs of stuff - no backup then, just original
disks - Then I used R...
Importing a text file to AccessI want to add a button to a form to import a text delimited file. The
File is delimited by "^" and so I have created a specification file by
manually impoting the text file, using the advanced button and saving
the specification.
Naively I thought I just needed to add the specification file name to
variable strSpec for the following command to work
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, strSpec, strOutFile, strInFile,
-1
When i run this from the button there is an error message returned
which states the specification file does not exist but when doing this
manually it is still in the database.
Can anyone tell me how to get the command to find the specification
file or how to code it directly into the above command?
Thanks
Hi, Phil.
> When i run this from the button there is an error message returned

Most likely, the specification name is misspelled. Use Debug.Print to print
the strSpec variable to the Immediate window to see exactly what you're
passing to the TransferText method. If the specification name is spelled
correctly, then ensure that:
1.) strOutFile contains the table name you're importing into, and
2.) strInFile is the full path and file name you're importing the data
from, and
3.) the specification is saved in the current database file, not a library
database file or other open database file.
HTH.

Import text file to tableI will shortly be receiving data in the form of a text file, like this:
id: 123456
first name: Fred
surname: Bloggs
age: 26
and so on, for about 60 fields. Each line ends with a carriage
return/line feed.
My question is - how do I import the data into a table (A2003) where
the field names match those in the text file? I think I could probably
grind out a solution but it would be horribly long winded - there must
be a neat solution to this.
Any help gratefully received
Thanks

Import Text file into AccessHello.
I am saving an Excel file as a text file then importing it into Access
using a specification. One of the fields in the file is a currency
formatted with commas. Those numbers over 999 are being interpreted
as text and not imported. I could modify the Excel file not to use
the commas before I import, but I was looking for something more
automated.
I tried making it a text field in the specification, but it still only
imported those numbers under 1,000.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I found the problem. Thanks.

What would this gain except for bloat? It's not like SQL is utterly
compatible with any programming language; users will still have to learn all
the operators anyway.

PUTting a fixed width text fileDear colleagues,
I've been working with a number of procedures to read data from fixed width
text files in one format and writing back subsets of it into multiple fixed

the output file. However, those leading blanks are significant. Sometimes
the variables also have trailing blanks. So what I end up doing is reading
in a dummy variable that starts at the same point as the real variable that
I want to write and ends at a point in the file ...

access 97 : importing text files with vbi had some problems trying to alter this code in order to import
different text files into the access 97 program.
it works properly however the users will be selecting different
types of text files. for instance, the prefix will be stored in the
cboAcct (combo box), ie BC, DB, AF, EG.
so if i tried to contenate the string, it would be cboAcct "_DDA_CR" .
but instead, the code
imports and creates a new table called "_DDA_CR" instead of a new
table called "BC_DDA_CR."
does anyone know what i am missing in the code?
