I'm trying to write a small application that imports data in a column from a csv file into a table in access. I'm very new to programming, but this is what i've come up with so far. It runs, but it's not actually bringing the data over to my database.
Here is the code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim dbPath As String
dbPath = "f:db1.mdb"

I am trying to import a bunch of excel 2003 files all with A:H columns and they are under the same headings etc. into a table in access 2003 database. This is a module in access im making. Im using a file search to look for every file that begins with Format (which they all do ) to get at all the files in the folder path. is there a more efficient way to do this? somehow select all files in a folder? and import each to the same table in access? The DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet seeems to take each file path individually so I'm not sure how to get each file name in the folder to import it.
I have this at the moment:
Sub Import()
Dim db As Database
Set db = CurrentDb
[Code].....
I start with a text file containing information such as this: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 12:00:00.1, 12:00:00.1, 12:00:00.1, 12:00:00.1, 12:00:00.1 I made up the values of course but the idea is exactly the same. I need to have an if statement that if the text document has a record of Monday, then it is to put something like an X in the corresponding column in a data table. I'm sure I confused this way more than need be but I hope you get the most of it and I can elaborate if need be.
View 6 Repliesthe code needed to import an excel sheet into a table in SQl db using a windows application and vb.net.im using Visual studio 2005 and SQL server 2005.
View 4 RepliesI have a program that I need to import a csv file into sql database/tables.I am using Visual Basic 2008 express and sql server. When complete I have to distribute this to several users where they will have csv files in the same format but with unique data.It has been several years since I have done any programming and then it was vb6.I have quickly realized that my vb6 books are going to do me no good. I have spent an entire day watching tutorial and reading forums to no use.
The csv file is full of junk, where some of the records are 92 fields and some are 122. The fields have data that may have dozens of characters before and/or after the data that I need. On the good side I was able to pull the file into access and load it into two tables by using something along the lines of (where this = this, fill this table and the same for the second table.) So I have my 92 char records in one file and the 122 in another.Unfortunately though I can not use access to do this as many of the users do not have it. But by doing this I was able to work with the data in the file to get all of the fields set for name, length, type ect.So then I went into my vb project and created the database with two files.I set the fields up according to the information I got from the access tables. So I know that these two tables are a perfect fit for the data in this file.
What I need to be able to do is have the user browse through the program to find the csv file they will be using. If they have followed my directions, they should have placed it in the same folder as they program I will send them.I then need the program to take that file and import the data into my sql database/tables.I have come to the conclusion, given the condition of this file, that rather than try and clean it up before using it, it will make more sense to just get it loaded into the two tables.Then have my forms ect go and get the information that they need from the tables. Then after we are done using the records save them to a clean tables.

I have a large text file that I want to use in my project, that data in the text file has about six items for each location. Now I had thought of importing the text file into a database using Access, but not had a lot of luck making it work. The question is is it better to load the data in the project as a text file then search for the string required or to convert it into a database. (The text file is a list of airports and related data.) Can a text file be converted to a Microsoft compact SQL database?

View 2 RepliesI have two Access database, say database One.mdb and Two.mdb. I want to use VB2005 to export tblCustomer from One.mdb to Two.mdb, and replace the existing tblCustomer in Two.mdb, during run time. I basically want to simulate the export function that is available in MS Access (which can export one table from one Access database to another) with VB2005 during run time. I can think of a way by querying the table to a dataset and then delete everything on the other database before filling the table in that database with the dataset. However, there should be something simpler and faster than that, shouldn't it? Any idea?
