about importing access tables..

1 New Member
hi i am trying to import access tables into my backend database( current database) which is sql server.
i created file browser which browse access database from harddrive and places all the tables into listbox. and upon clicking table name in list box, i want it to import it to my current database( which is sql server).
in order i used this code:


Private Sub ListTables_Afte rUpdate()
docmd.TransferD atabase acLink, "Microsoft Access", dbname, acTable, Me.ListTables, Me.ListTables
docmd.TransferD atabase acExport, "ODBC Database", "ODBC;DSN=dsnna me;LANGUAGE=us_ english;DATABAS E=currentdbname ", acTable, Me.ListTables, Me.ListTables
End Sub

this thorws an error saying" the expression you entered is wrong data type for one of the argument" and point to first line

and without linking i guess it suppose to import to you current databse by just importing access tables.

Private Sub ListTables_Afte rUpdate()
docmd.TransferD atabase acImport "Microsoft Access", dbname, acTable, Me.ListTables, Me.ListTables
End SUb
it still thorws same error.
i am sure i selected same database.

and listbox name is 'listtables'


help m eout here..

If I understand you correctly you want to export the tables from your current database which is MS Access to SQL Server. You can't do it this way.

Look into using the Access upsizing wizard. Go to the tools menu - database utilities - upsizing wizard. If that doesn't work you will have to import the tables from SQL Server in which case I will move this question to that forum.

Let me know how your get on.

Hi, I'm completely new to MySql and need help importing tables from Access or Dbase. I am using Dreamweaver MX to create a data-driven web site. With the VPS hosting plan we're on, our remote FreeBSD server only supports the PHP application server. PHP requires MySql. Thus, I installed a copy of MySQL Control Center 0.9.2 beta. (I prefer a GUI and not command prompts unless necessary.) The information I plan on using in developing...

Hey guys, I want to import a database from SQL Server 2000 to MS Access with all indices and keys along with the tables. DTS does not export indices and keys, only the structure and the data. When used "Import External Data" through Access(linking through ODBC) it creadted liked tables, however with indices and keys. Can remove these links and preserve only th stucture back. How do I do it. Thanks

All, As you can see below, I have had problems with inquisitive souls looking at data they shouldn't be. I though disabling the ability to create new databases using my workgroup would stop this but it doesn't. All they have to do now is create a new database using the default wrkgroup, close it and then open it again whilst joined to my workgroup and they can import again. Can someone please help me stop these people importing from the FE...

If I can empty my "holding table" before I import and then give the imported file the same name every...

Is there any way I could disable user to create a new database and import all of my tables and queries into his database. I make .mde, disable shift+Enter, make logon users module (with your help sometimes before) but still my tables and queries are free to take. If you know couple solutions please let me know so I can decide. Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to import specific cells from MS Excel 2000 spreadsheets to MS Access 2000 tables then move the spreadsheets to a different directory. I'm very new to this and I'm having trouble to implement this. I have worked out so far the code to import certain cells into 1 table, but I do not know how to import some other cells into another tables so the data would be connected and remain together. So lets say that I have 2 tables...
