I have 3 tables tblFI, tblFIDet, tblMac, in Access 2000
tblFI
fldFIAuto, autonumber,
fldDate, date
…and a few more fields that don’t matter.
tblFIDet
fldFIDetAutoID, autonumber
fldFIAutoID, linked to tblFI.fldFIAuto ID
fldMacAutoID, linked to tblMac.fldMacAu toID
fldLitres, number
fldMeter, number
tblMac
fldAutoID, autonumber
fldMacNumber, number
…and a few more fields that don’t matter.
The database gathers fuel consumption figures, and generates reports such as
fuel economy, total km, total litres, etc, for various time periods.
The data comes from several sites, where it is entered in XL spreadsheets,
in a table, 4 columns as below :
Date – Truck Number – Litres – Meter.
How do I go about getting this spreadsheet info into the database. I know
that I could change all the sites to using Access, and have a partial
replica setup (I’m not sure how to do that, but I could work that one out),
but there is a lot (several years) of legacy data in spreadsheets, that
should go into the database.
Thanks for any help

I am not sure how far along you are but I would use the
DoCmd.TransferS preadsheet acImport command behind a button on a form
it will let you import an xls spreadsheet into access.
then from there use your sql statements to create, update, append your
tables
Sorry this is very general.
The first thing that came to my mind, is linking the excel sheets to
the dbase and using that data as a table. To do that, you need to go
into access and in the tables menu, just right click and select link
tables.... then find the spreadsheet and go from there.
Or you can just copy and paste into a dbase, but that might take some
time. If you need more help just email me back.

Hello:
Thanks for your quick response.
I'm trying to import a new Excel file into an A2K table and it's
truncating the data. One of the Excel columns is a text field that can
be up to 2000 characters. When I import it into A2K, that field is
truncated. If I try to inport the file into an EXISTING table that I
define myself where that field is a MEMO field, the import crashes.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
