I am looking for a way to convert Microsoft Office files to my apple and back again

I am looking for a way to convert Microsoft Office files to my apple and vise vera.
<Re-Titled By Host>

you are asking about Microsoft products and using a laptop, not a workstation Mac Pro.
The Numbers and Pages Apple Communities. or MS Community if you want those.
Importing and Exporting, but Numbers and Pages will not do a SAVE into other formats by default, and therefore have to keep using Export which is messy.

How can I open encrypted Microsoft access files on a mac?

How can I open an encryted Microsoft access file on an iMac?

As Office for Mac doesn't include Access, I'm not at all sure you can.
You could try Open Office, NeoOffice or Libre Office (all free, open source) and see if their database applications can do it.

Open a Microsoft Access file using LV

Hi,
When my VI finishes executing I would like it to Open up a Microsoft Access file and delete an Excel Table. I have gotten it to delete the Excel Table, however, it will not open the Access file. I have tried using Open File and I have tried open/create/replace, but they are not working. I am almost positive I am putting the directory and file extentsion right as well. I am using LV 6.1.
Thanks

I have recently added data-basing using labview and access. I am using labview 7.0 and the DB toolkit. I have no problem connecting to access using the jet 4.0 engine, where I can read modify and edit access data. What are you trying to delete? a table, remove entries or delete the entire file itself. There are two ways to connect to access, using an activeX control or through ODBC. I have never used activeX for access but have used it for excel, this was not too difficult but there is a lot of methods and properties to wade through to get things working. I might be able to help you, but will need a little more info on what you need to do with access. Using the DB toolkit and ODBC, you will not need access on the machine to use the database, which is a nice option if you plan on distributing the application. I am a DB novice but have been learning fast, I think Mike Porter knows alot about labview and database connectivity, hopefuly he will help out here.

I cant view my microsoft access files in MBP

Hey guys i ma a switcher n i ve got the Microsoft office for MAC but it doesnt include Access Database.. How can i view my Access files in MAC..
Please Help!!
Kind Regards
Singh

I don't think you can. There is no version of Access for the Mac. Your choices are to 1) run Windows on your Mac with either parallels or bootcamp or 2) use a database program for Mac (Filemaker strongly recommended - works on Mac and PC).
If you choose Filemaker you can directly import Excel files which I think you export from Access. You can drag your Excel file onto your Filemaker icon and if you have Excel column headers it will automatically create and populate a db table for you. Filemaker is a serious high functionality db and is easy to use.
You can download a free 30 day trial - give it a go.

Can you download a PDF Wizard that converts Microsoft Office files to PDF through a print command. The PDF wizard does this but costs 40 US Dollars?

Does anyone know if you can download a PDF Printer that converts all microsoft office files to pdf format via a print command. The PDF Wizard fromPDF Suite does this but it costs 40 US Dollars?

Hi Justin,
You can purchase a Create PDF subscription and use the Create PDF desktop pinter which can be downloaded once you are a paying subscriber. The subscription costs $9.99 per month and you can end your subscription at anytime. Learn about this service.
Hope this helps.

Distortion of excel charts when converting microsoft publisher file to pdf

I am using the print "Adobe PDF" function in publisher to convert a publisher file to pdf. Some exel pie charts that were pasted into the publisher file become distorted at the edges in the pdf file. I have tried playing with various settings and using the "print quality" settings but nothing has helped. See the attached files for an example of the excel chart, publisher file, and results I am getting when converting to pdf.
Thanks all.

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. What I'm trying to say is that the graphic looks just fine in publisher. But when it is converted to a pdf, the graphic has distorted edges, if you look at the publisher and pdf files I attached I think you might see what I'm talking about.
Please let me know if it's still not clear.

Login codes using java database (validates with Microsoft Access File)

hi all pro-programmer, can you show me the code to login with the username and password using java database. When the user enters the username and password in the login page then it will go to the requested page. may i know how to do it?

no one will give you complete code.
i'll lay out the pieces for you, though:
(1) start with a User object. give it username and password attributes.
(2) write a UserDAO interface with CRUD operations for a User object.
(3) write a UserDAOImpl for your Microsoft Access database
(4) write an AuthenticationService interface
(5) write an implementation of the AuthenicationService that works with the UserDAO to authorize a User.
Use a servlet to accept request from your login page and pass it off to the service. Voila.
PS - Here's skeleton to start with. UI, servlet, and controller are your responsibility:
package model;
public class User implements Serializable
    private String username;
    private String password;
    public User(String u, String p)
        this.username = u;
        this.password = p;
    public String getUsername() { return username; }
    public String getPassword() { return password; }
public interface UserDAO
    public User findByUsername(String username);
    public void saveOrUpdate(User user);
    public void delete(User user);
public class UserDAOImpl implements UserDAO
    private Connection connection;
    public UserDAOImpl(Connection connection)
        this.connection = connection;
    public User findByUsername(String username)
        String password = "";
        // logic for querying the database for a User
        return new User(username, password);
    public void saveOrUpdate(User user)
        // save or update a User
    public void delete(User user)
        // delete a User
public interface AuthenticationService
    public boolean isAuthorized(String username);
public class AuthenticationServiceImpl implements AuthenticationService
    private UserDAO userDAO;
    public AuthenticationServiceImpl()
        // Create a database connection here and the UserDAO, too.
    public boolean isAuthorized(String username)
        boolean isAuthorized = false;
        // Add logic to do the database query and decide if the username is authorized
        return isAuthorized;
}

Converting MS Access datatype to Oracle datatype

To convert a memo datatype in MS Access into Oracle, you use a Long datatype. The problem is this one Access table hold multiple memo dataype and Oracle only allows 1 long datatype per table. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

You should use CLOBs instead. You can have multiple
CLOBs per table.Further the number of LOB columns per table is limited only by the maximum number of columns per table.

Hi, Simon,
Welcome to the forum!
An Oracle equivalent of
IIf(TEMP_ACTION_DISCIPLINE Is Null,"UNALOCATED",TEMP_ACTION_DISCIPLINE) AS ACTION_DISCIPLINEis
CASE
     WHEN TEMP_ACTION_DISCIPLINE Is Null
     THEN 'UNALOCATED'
     ELSE TEMP_ACTION_DISCIPLINE
END          AS ACTION_DISCIPLINE, This assumes that temp_action_discipline is a string. (All THEN and ELSE clauses must return the same data type, or at least compatable types.)
CASE is the most general way of doing IF-THE-ELSE logic in Oracle SQL.
For certain special situations, there may be shorter ways.
Testing a variable to see whether it is NULL or not is one of those situations, so you could also say
NVL2 ( TEMP_ACTION_DISCIPLINE
     , TEMP_ACTION_DISCIPLINE
     , 'UNALOCATED'
This site noramally compresses whitespace. Whenever you post formatted text here (and code should always be formatted), type these 6 characters:
(all small letters, inside curly brackets) before and after formatted sections.
Edited by: Frank Kulash on Jan 21, 2010 10:41 AM
After reading Bluefrog's answer, I realized that you're testing and possibly returning the same thing, temp_action_discipline.
In that case, NVL, like Bluefrog suggested, is the best thing to do. CASE and NVL2, as shown above, will give the right results, but they're more complicated than you need for this job.

Migration of Microsoft Access Table in Oracle XE

Hi all,
i've got a MS Access DB with a table with over 50k rows in it. I need to transfer the data to my Oracle XE. I tried to use the "Quick Migration" option of SQL Developer but that won't work. I also extracted the data of the MS Access table into an insert script. Unfortunately the insert script is too big for SQL Developer, I just can't believe it.....
Do you know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

No prob, should be a sqlplus program button under the Oracle group, or do the Start/Run ... and type in cmd (windows) and sqlplus in the command box.
May have to poke around a bit find out which database user to sign in as, best not to use sys or system users for regular data/tables.

Converting Microsoft Works file to Adobe

Does anyone else have this word processing software and tried
to convert files? If so, how did you get file to convert?

Hello mvshorte,
Thanks for your post!
I would suggest as a first option, to see if you can open
these files in Works, and export them out as another file format,
before converting the files with Acrobat.com
Here is a link to the help file page, with
supported
formats for conversion

Importing data from Microsoft excel file to Oracle Database with Multiple Data Tables. Need expert advice and guidance

I posted a query on Importing data from Microsoft Excel to Oracle Database (Multiple Data Tables). I got some answer and reference from the forum.
I presented to my Oracle consultant and representative from Oracle Malaysia. They said impossible. I do not believe what they said. I do believe can be done.
Can someone help or direct me to an expert that can help me on this

We don't know the "query on Importing data from Microsoft Excel to Oracle Database (Multiple Data Tables). "
We don't know where you posted said query.
We don't know what "some answer and reference" you received "from the forum."
We don't know what it was that your "Oracle consultant and representative from Oracle Malaysia" said was "impossible".
So on what basis are we supposed to "help or direct" to "to an expert that can help "?

Convert ms access query to oracle view

I was able to get bits and pieces of it to work, but not the whole thing. Let me know if you need the table structures.
/* Show some summary information about the open problems in the Security Info table */
select
"Monthly report hide"
, "Tracking id"
, "Status"
/* Show the date appropriate to the item status, if the item is open then show the */
/* open date, if the item is closed, show the closed date */
, decode("Status"='Closed',"Date closed","Date opened")
as "Item date"
, "Identifier"
, "TicketNumber"
/* Format deu date as ddd, m/d/yy */
, "Due Date"
/* show the person's name, id is kept in the table, DIR has cross ref */
, (SELECT DIR.COMMON_NAME_LAST
FROM DIR
WHERE "Primary id" = ID
) as "Primary Staff"
/* A separate table holds the status information for each problem, use the last */
/* entry for this tracking id */
, (select LAST("Status info")
from SECINFOSTATUS
where "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref"
group by
) as "Status Info"
/* The next three fields are taken from the referenced organization links. There */
/* are multipe entries for each tracking id in the referenced organization links */
/* table. Use the first entry for the referenced tracking id. The first entry is */
/* the one with the lowest "Ref link id" in SECINFOREFDORGLINKS. */
, (select "Ref name"
from SECINFOREFDORGLINKS
where "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref"
and "Ref link id" = (select min("Ref link id")
from SECINFOREFDORGLINKS
where "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref")
) as "Primary Ref Org"
, (select "Ref reference number"
from SECINFOREFDORGLINKS
where "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref"
and "Ref link id" = (select min("Ref link id")
from SECINFOREFDORGLINKS
where "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref")
) as "Primary Ref Id"
, (select "Ref link"
from SECINFOREFDORGLINKS
where "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref"
and "Ref link id" = (select min("Ref link id")
from SECINFOREFDORGLINKS
where "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref")
) as "Primary Ref Link"
from SECINFO
/* Report only open problems. */
where "Status" = 'Open'
order by "Tracking id" DESC

With some formatting (not easy in this forum at the moment I admit) it looks like this:
SELECT "Monthly report hide"
     , "Tracking id"
     , "Status"
     , DECODE("Status",
              'Closed',"Date closed", "Date opened") AS "Item date"
     , "Identifier"
     , "TicketNumber"
     , "Due Date"
     , ( SELECT dir.common_name_last
         FROM   dir
         WHERE  "Primary id" = id ) AS "Primary Staff"
     , ( SELECT LAST("Status info")
         FROM   secinfostatus
         WHERE  "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref"
         GROUP BY ??? ) AS "Status Info"
     , ( SELECT "Ref name"
         FROM   secinforefdorglinks
         WHERE  "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref"
         AND    "Ref link id" =
                ( SELECT MIN("Ref link id")
                  FROM   secinforefdorglinks
                  WHERE  "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref" ) ) AS "Primary Ref Org"
     , ( SELECT "Ref reference number"
         FROM   secinforefdorglinks
         WHERE  "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref"
         AND    "Ref link id" =
                ( SELECT MIN("Ref link id")
                  FROM   secinforefdorglinks
                  WHERE  "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref") ) AS "Primary Ref Id"
     , ( SELECT "Ref link"
         FROM   secinforefdorglinks
         WHERE  "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref"
         AND    "Ref link id" =
                ( SELECT MIN("Ref link id")
                  FROM   secinforefdorglinks
                  WHERE  "Tracking id" = "Tracking id ref" ) ) AS "Primary Ref Link"
FROM   secinfo
WHERE  "Status" = 'Open'
ORDER BY "Tracking id" DESC;It's made harder by those quoted column names - if you can change them to Oracle-standard names it should be easier to work with.
As Khurram points out the main problem is that LAST() expression with half a GROUP BY clause. I'm guessing you want the last "Status info" value in order of some date or sequence key?

Data Migration from Microsoft Access to Oracle 9i

Hi Zuhair,
If you give details of the problems you are still having then we should be able to get SQL*Developer to work.
However, if you don't want to use SQL*Developer then the following options are taken from note 393760.1 available in Metalink if you have access to that -
1. Use a gateway that supports the non-Oracle database or generic connectivity if a third party ODBC driver is available to do a -
'create Oracle_table as select from non_oracle_table@database_link'
for each table. You would then have to manually create all the other objects (views, indexes, stored procedurs etc) and permissions etc that existed in the non-Oracle database.
2. Use the SQL*Plus COPY command to copy data from the non-Oracle database to the
Oracle database using a gateway or generic connectivity. The syntax is as follows:
COPY FROM username/password@oracle_sid -
INSERT destination_oracle_table -
USING query;
The following example selects all rows from the EMP table in the non-Oracle database and
inserts them into the local Oracle EMP table:
COPY FROM SCOTT/TIGER@ora10 -
INSERT EMP -
USING SELECT * FROM SCOTT.EMP@gateway;
where "gateway" is the database link created for the gateway.
3. Load the non-Oracle data into flat files and use SQL*Loader to put the data into Oracle tables. Again manual
work is required for the other objects.
4. Contact the Oracle Product Technology Services (PTS) group for assistance. See the webpage -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
5. Use a third party migration tool. See -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/isv/third_party.html
6. Use JDBC to connect to the non-Oracle database and Java in the Oracle database. This method will work but it is not suppported by the JDBC team.
=========
The amount of work involved will depend on the number and size of Access tables that you want to migrate.
Regards,
Mike
