Its been a while & i am rusty - need a button to import automatically

56 New Member
I am trying to create a fool proof "import" button that will import data from an excel file that will be located on a shared drive. This file can be updated by users - but I don't want them to have to manually import the data to the database. I also do not want to link the table - since it will likely be a table that is often deleted and replaced.

So i need VB code that will enable a button to import the table - and overwrite the one in the data base.

I have a saved import - so if we can just point to that - that woudl be great. I plan to have numerous saved imports and rather than have my users go thru this list - I want to give certain groups access to certain imports.

table name is BLDG_INV
current location is d:\Docume~1\sol ivas\Desktop\DA TABA~1\BLDG_INV .XLS

can someone please work some magic?

Thanks!

Hi, I was reading through the Tkinter tutorial at http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/index.htm ...and it mentions that by doing, from Tkinter import * you have access to the constants in Tkconstants, since Tkinter imports it automatically.

Hi, my mind is going crazy. I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. I have tried Disable Output Escaping. I tried to think of a way of enclosing the attribute data in a CDATA element. That did not parse. Here is my question: How can I get attribute values to not get converted from ' to '

I've been toying with a namespace manager, and wanted to get some input. So what do you think? if (typeof com == 'undefined') var com = {}; if (!com.unFocus) com.unFocus = {}; com.unFocus.Namespaces = new function() { this.register = function(namespace) { namespace = namespace.split('.');

Hey all, I sent this as a response to someone else's problem, but then I thought it might be useful to more people so I'm starting a new thread to share and discuss it. I found a great JavaScript library (Ajile) that completely handles namespace creation *and* importing. It's amazing! Check it out @ http://ajile.iskitz.com/. It allows multi-level namespaces like this: Package ("com.mycompany.MyLibrary"); and best of all you can...

We have an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. We are upgrading SQL Server to SQL 2005, and are considering upgrading to Access 2003. Someone mentioned that they had heard about some incompatibilities between Access 2003 and SQL Server 2005. Anyone hear of anything? And, if so, would staying with Access 2000 be better? Thanks! Neil

Hello all, So I'm knee deep in this import utility program, and am coming up with all sorts of "gotcha's!". 1st off. On a "Find Duplicates Query", does anyone have a good solution for renaming the duplicate records? My thinking was to take the results of the duplicate query, and somehow have it number each line where there is a duplicate (tried a groups query, but "count" won't work), then do an update query to change the duplicate to...

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...

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.
