Importing Text File

I have a problem of importing a text file into Access. The text file
will be imported using a delimiter, say ( , ) for example. This should
be imported into the database. An example is:

John, is, a, boy
Ada, is, a, girl

I have tried using the DoCmd.TransferT ext but I am not getting results.

Not sure where the Browse code came from. Have been using it for years
and probably got it from the MVP site, Dev Ashish.

I am importing a .csv file into Access that has 37 fields. My problem is that sometimes the last field only has data at the end of the column (it looks like when you import a file into Access, for the last field, it only checks the top few 'cells' to see if there is any data, if not, the field is not imported). How do I 'force' Access to import the field, regardless if there is data in the top of the field or not? For instance, I might...

I have never done this and wanted to ask people who have what is the best way. One person said import it to excel, then import it into access table. but since this will be done a lot, I am trying to avoid this extra step. can access read in this file directly into a table as append data? thank you very much for any pointers

Hi everybody, I am totally desperate because I cannot solve a really simple problem: I have a specific text-file which I want to import into an existing database. The problem is that the columns have different names so I receive an error message when importing via the "Get External Data"-Wizard. The second problem is that this text file includes several rows without any relevant data, only symbols like "-----" in the various columns. I...

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me with an issue I am having with excel and ms access. I have collected data (which are in individual excel files) from 49 different school districts. All districts have used the same excel template and populated the same 32 data fields (columns). I created one large excel file from all 49 files which gives me a master table of 60,000 or so records. I have tried to import this master table into access...

I can import a csv file with no problem. I can also add columns to the datagrid upon import. I want to be able to start importing at the 3rd row. This will pick up the headers necessary for the datagrid. Once I can get to that point I need some way to be able to add new data only to the new columns that were added. Here is some of my code: //Function For Importing Data From CSV File public DataSet ConnectCSV(string filetable)

I have a text file that I am importing into an Access table that was generatred from data exported from a Word file. Several (about 20-30) fields are from check boxes on the Word form. These fields have either 0 (Not checked) or 1 (Checked). Due to requirements from a third party software application, they HAVE to be either Y(Checked) or N (Not checked) and MUST be a text field in the Access table. I will be importing several thousand of...

Hey guys, I'm fairly familiar with access by now, but I've never worked with importing text into an access database. I have some fairly large text files (lets say, for example, a folder of 20 text files could be about 120 mb with each text file being 6 mb). I know that Access has some strict limitations on fields and their sizes and I've learned to stay away from using memos. The files are encoded health files and so they have a '~' to...

Hello I am new to vba programming/coding. I am writing a program that goes through a directory of text files and imports them into the database. The problem is eventually the database gets to big and needs to be compacted. I know how to compact on exit but how do you do it in a loop using vba? My old program in basic did it because it was external to access. Any ideas? 1.import text file 2.loop - check size

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.

But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
