Hi,
I have a read only access file with a linked table that connects to a
sybase database. So I can still add data to the table even though its
read only since the table is really in sybase. However, I want to
import data from an excel file (either via a macro in excel or access)
but I always get an "Error 3051" because the access file is read
only. Does anyone know a good workaround to this? I've been using the
TransferSpreads heet method to no avail.
Thanks.

As far as I know, "Read Only" means "Read Only". My only suggestion is to
reset that option to allow writing, import the data, then reset again to
Read Only. Frankly, I don't recall ever having worked with a "Read Only"
Access DB... though I know there are occasions when they are appropriate.

I know its a strange request, but unfortunately necessary for work
related reason. Thanks.

If it is to be read-only, have you considered linking your Access DB to the
Excel spreadsheet?
Unfortunately, if the entire Access DB is "read-only", that blocks any
possibility that I can imagine to _import_ anything. If it did not, then
"read-only" would be a misnomer.

Using a linked table to excel is another possibility. Right now I am
exploring creating another Access DB that is read/write to import the
data. It seems to work so far, however it isn't terribly fast.

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

I want to be able to import an Excel spreadsheet into Access 2K using

comply with the expected format (date/time) and they end up in a

empty fields.)
This is a regular event and I do not want to...

I am trying to import an excel file into Access 97. It looks perfectly all
right but, every time I try to import it, I get to the lst step and am told
that it was not imported due to an error. There is no further explanation.
What are the kinds of things that make this happen?
Thanks from an obvious rookie.

Hi
I have a question which I hope somebody can answer. I have written a VB
application with which I want to import an Excel file, analyze the data
within it and do some calculations. There are in fact five sheets in the
Excel file. My original idea was to import the file into access and create a
database file; which I did and worked beautifully. It generated five tables
in the database as expected.
However, I then thought why not...

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,...
