I am new to Access and have a quick question. I'm trying to import
data from a SQL database, but the table that I'd like to import is
enormous. I have gotten all of the connections to work, but as far as
I can tell, there's not a way to import certain rows of the SQL table
into a new table in Access. Is it possible to somehow use a SELECT
statement rather than importing the entire table?
Thanks,
Ben

Another way.
1. Create an ADP.
2. Connect to the SQL DB from the ADP (File -Connections - or use
the dialog that will open when the ADP is created.)
3. Close the ADP.
4. Open or create the MDB where you want the new table to live.
5. Click File -Get External Data -... follow the prompts, select
the ADP, select the table. Click OK. That's it. Access now looks after
everything. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi all,
I've just finished almost all of what has turned out to be a real bear of a
project. It has to import data from a monthly spreadsheet export from another
program, and convert that into normalized data. The task is made more
difficult by the fact that the structure itself can vary from month to month
(in well defined ways).
So, I used the SQL-centric approach, taking vertical stripes at a time so
that, for instance, for each...

Not that up on MS Access. I understand that the TransferText command

correspond to which table columns. I actually need col1, col2, col5

I need to import a spreadsheet into an Access table. The spreadsheet has
performance for mutual funds for various periods. The problem is that if
there is no info for a particular period, the spreadsheet contains a dash in
the cell (for example if the fun is only 4 years old and I look in the
columns for 5-year and 10-year performance).
I cannot change the dashes to blank with a global change, the negative
numbers would lose the...

Folks:
We have a web-based app that's _really_ slowing down because multiple
clients are writing their own private data into a single, central
database. I guess the previous programmer did things this way because it
made things easy. Well, I'm the person that has to put up with
the long-term headache.
Anywho, someone at work wants things sped up, so what I'm looking

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

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