Feed Bridge from Access or Excel speadsheet??

Hi -
This is a Bridge question so I hope I'm in the best forum for an answer.
I have a huge image database (3000+) in MS Access. My supervisor wants to customize it. By the time he was finished describing his wish list it sounded like he wanted to re-invent adobe Bridge. So I demonstrated how we can open the folders of images, display, make collections and keyword, etc. So far so good- until he reminds us that there are image attributes (column headings in an Access table) that we would have to enter by hand. Yikes!
Is there a way to automate Bridge so that these attributes are filled in as keywords to their respective images?
I can get Access to output the table as Excel spreadsheet or CSV list. Will that help?
Am I on track or does Bridge lack the functionality to handle being fed by a db or spreadsheet?
TIA some input.

To run scripts for bridge, there are a couple of ways.
1. Run the script from ExtendScript Toolkit, this gets installed at the same time as Photoshop and can be found:-
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
2. Run the script from Bridge itself, the problem here is that the script must be written so that it has a menu element scripted within it else the script will just run every time Bridge is opened.
To install a script in Bridge:-
Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts
At the bottom click the "Reveal Button" this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
Close and restart Bridge.
Accept the new script.

To export query from Access to Excel in Read/Write mode in VBA

Below is the code which exports the query named 'LatestSNR' from Access to Excel;
Public Sub Expdata()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim Apxl As Object
Dim xlWBk, xlWSh As Object
Dim PathEx As String
Dim fld As DAO.Field
PathEx = Forms("Export").Text14 'path comes from the directory given in form
Set Apxl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("LatestSNR")
Set xlWBk = Apxl.Workbooks.Open(PathEx)
'xlWBk.ChangeFileAccess xlReadWrite
Set xlWBk = Workbook("PathEx")
Apxl.Visible = True
Set xlWSh = xlWBk.Worksheets("Metadatasheet")
xlWSh.Activate
xlWSh.Range("A2").Select
For Each fld In rst.Fields
Apxl.ActiveCell = fld.Name
Apxl.ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Next
rst.MoveFirst
xlWSh.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset rst
xlWSh.Range("1:1").Select
' selects all of the cells
Apxl.ActiveSheet.Cells.Select
' selects the first cell to unselect all cells
xlWSh.Range("A2").Select
rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
' Quit excel
Apxl.Quit
End Sub
After the execution of code, the query is transferred to excel sheet and is viewed in 'Read only' mode. If I try to save it, a copy of the excel file is produced. Can the Excel be opened in Read/Write mode ? so as to save the workbook and also to transfer
the query to same workbook repeatedly.
If in case the change of mode is not possible, then is there any alternative method?

Try this version:
Public Sub Expdata()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim Apxl As Object
Dim xlWBk As Object, xlWSh As Object
Dim PathEx As String
Dim i As Long
PathEx = Forms("Export").Text14 'path comes from the directory given in form
Set Apxl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlWBk = Apxl.Workbooks.Open(PathEx)
Set xlWSh = xlWBk.Worksheets("Metadatasheet")
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("LatestSNR")
For i = 1 To rst.Fields.Count
xlWSh.Cells(1, i).Value = rst.Fields(i - 1).Name
Next i
rst.MoveFirst
xlWSh.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset rst
xlWBk.Close SaveChanges:=True
Apxl.Quit
rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
End Sub
or else
Public Sub Expdata()
Dim PathEx As String
PathEx = Forms("Export").Text14 'path comes from the directory given in form
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet TransferType:=acExport, _
SpreadsheetType:=acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, _
TableName:="LatestSNR", _
Filename:=PathEx, _
HasFieldNames:=True, _
Range:="Metadatasheet!"
End Sub

Data from Access to Excel

I hope someone can help me.
I am developing an automatic relationship between our Access database and a permanent data tracking Excel spreadsheet. One very big component of our data tracking is a daily morning inventory of specific case types. The problem I am having is when the spreadsheet
is refreshed each morning, the data and total count of a specific case type is simply replaced. I need some help figuring out how to retain all data specific to the date of the morning's run. I have included an outline format to hopefully clear up the issue:
Open spreadsheet and refresh. The complete inventory list appears automatically on Tab 1.
On Tab 2 (the issue), I want to have a simple master data sheet that lists the case type as column and the morning's date as rows. I have used 'COUNTA' expression to get a count of the data but cannot figure out how to automatically 'tell' Excel that the
next morning's data must be displayed in the row underneath.
Thank you in advance for any help!

Hello again dpg,
As you're using Access all the data is there already. You need to build a view into that data and select all the info you want to be displayed. There is no magic button here. Only you know what you want to extract from the database to Excel.
Is there a reason you display the result in Excel instead of directly in Access? One of my customers use Access Runtime (free) to run an Access report I have written for them. No Access License needed on the client computers.
Best regards George

View to be parameterize and to be called from Access or Excel...advice?

Hi guys, a couple of question: I was asked to automatically run the query below. That's mean I should no longer run manually the query changing the date and that part of query: FOR archived
IN (
[201411], [201412]... Some suggestion how I can achieve the result? I was thinking to build a stored procedure with parameter but I'm not
totally sure...the view below:
alter view ChargePivot as
with cte as (
select nmonth, customer, [element code], [element charge],archived from Archive where Archived between'2014-11-05' and '2014-11-07'
or Archived between'2014-12-03' and '2014-12-05'
), cte2 as (select nmonth, customer, [total], CONVERT(varchar(6), archived, 112) as archived
from cte where [clothes] in ('valentino','armani')),
cte3 as (
select customer, archived,Nmonth, SUM(CAST([total] AS DECIMAL (20,4))) AS charge from cte2 group by
customer, nmonth, archived)
select * from cte3
PIVOT
sum(charge)
FOR archived

[201411], [201412]

Sorry this
select nmonth, customer,

Archived between'2014-11-05'

Accessing Bridge from CS6

I just installed CS6 upgrade. I always started Bridge from CS5 meu bar at the top. There is no Bridge button/icon to start Bridge from the top menu. I have to access it through the file menu. Is there a problem or am I missing an option or preference setting? In CS4 & 5 it was always on the top menu bar????
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Tim

Curt,
Thanks for your reply. There was a problem with the upgrade install and some items not being installed. Mini Bridge and a few other components were not installed. The program would run but wtih no Bridge or Mini Bridge icon.
I used Adobe Chat and they finally figured it out. A permission setting was not correct, so after getting that sorted out, we reinstalled and it finished correctly and I found the Bridge Icons. I do wish I could put it back where I was used to using it, but I guess that is progress. Or Just want to keep up guessing.
So there was a problem but now it seems to work fine.
Thanks again for your reply.
Tim

Loading table from Access, Excel or CSV file

Hi,
I would like to know the mechanism of loading a table from an external source such as Access table, Excel sheet, text file containing comma/tab delimited values.
Can you please indicate me the basic steps to prepare the extraction of the source data and next how to load this data into a target Oracle table?
Thanks very much in advance.

If you are using a windows based Oracle server you can locate your files on the server and set them up as external databases using Oracles Heterogeneous Services (HS)... e.g. with Excel workbook...
1- Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Data Sources (ODBC)>System DSN and create a data source with appropriate driver. Name it EXCL.
2- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Tnsnames.ora fie add entry:
EXCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.12.0.24)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = EXCL)
(HS = OK)
Here SID is the name of data source that you have just created.
3- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Listener.ora file add:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = <hs_sid>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle home>)
under SID_LIST_LISTENER like:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORA9DB)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(SID_NAME = ORA9DB)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = EXCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\ora9db)
Dont forget to reload the listener
c:\> lsnrctl reload
4- In %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin create init<HS_SID>.ora. For our sid EXCL we create file initexcl.ora.
In this file set following two parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = excl
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
5- Now connect to Oracle database and create database link with following command:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK excl
2 USING 'excl'
3 /
Database link created.
Now you can perform query against this database like you would for any remote database.
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM all_tables@excl;
TABLE_NAME
DEPT
EMP
With MS Access you are already dealing with a database so the structure is not a problem. If you treat Excel workbooks as a database then they have to conform to a certain layout e.g. each worksheet is in effect a table with the name of the table taken from the worksheet name (be aware that Excel allows 32 characters for sheet names, but Oracle requires no more than 30), on each sheet the first row must contain the column names and all subsequent rows contain the data.

Microsoft excel error while exporting a FRS report from Planning to excel

I have multiple screen shots of the issue.
are getting issues when within citrix trying to run an FRS report from workspace into excel.
first they get a windows login window looking for credentials of a User name and a Password.
the first error:
"Could not open 'http:SERVERNAME:19000/hr/hrget/modules/com/hyperion/reporting/web/office/HROfficeReport.jsp/FOLDERNAMEandFILENAME.xls?format=excel.20028viewAs=excel&instanceId=11165278&previewDone=true'.
second error:
Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'http:SERVERNAME:19000/hr/hrget/modules/com/hyperion/reporting/web/office/HROfficeReport.jsp/FOLDERNAMEandFILENAME.xls?format=excel.20028viewAs=excel&instanceId=11165278&previewDone=true'. There are several possible reasons:
The file name or path does not exist.
The file is being used by another person
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
Third error:
The file you are trying to open, 'FILENAME.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file do you want to open the file now?
yes , no, or help
I am trying to figure out if its a CITRIX issue? An EPM issue? or what
We have Office 2010 32 bit with smart view and excel add-in.
Does anybody know why this may occur? I have screen shots I just don't know how to post them.

When you export a FR report to excel, yes, you will get a prompt for credentials, but as said in 11.1.2 HFR guide, you have to ignore that by clicking "Cancel" and then you will get a second warning pop-up saying "The file you are trying to open, 'FILENAME.xls', is in a different format ........"... Click on "Yes"... you should be able to see the report in excel....
Both these are known issues in HFR export to excel and you can find them in oracle features guide. And they are not related to Citrix.
As in Oracle HFR user guide "When exporting a Financial Reporting document to a Microsoft Office format (Excel, Word or PowerPoint), when using Microsoft Office 2007, you may receive the following warning: "The file your are trying to open <filename>, is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?". This warning notifies users that, although the file has an Office extension ( ".xls", ".doc" or ".ppt"), the content of the file is different from the expected (native) Office format. Although Financial Reporting reports are generated in an MHTML format during export, this is not a security concern. Microsoft Office is just warning a user of a file format that is different than expected. Upon selecting “Yes” in the warning, the file will successfully open in Microsoft Office."
Thanks,
Siva

After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/

Errors executing bulk query when updating a Sharepoint Linked List from Access

Hi all,
I have a Sharepoint list that is a Linked List with MS Access. It has just under 5,000 items (4,864), thus meaning it avoids the reduction in functionality lists of greater than 5,000 items have.
Among the list are five calculated columns. These take the information from another column (different employee numbers), and by using a formula produce a clickable link to my company's Directory page, where that particular employee's info is displayed. I'm
not sure if these five columns are relevant to my query, but I'm mentioning them in case.
My problem is this: Frequently when I run any query on the list that updates the list, I get this error: "There were errors executing the bulk query or sending the data to the server. Reconnect the tables to resolve the
conflicts or discard the pending changes".
When I review the errors, it says they conflict with errors a previous user made (with that previous user being me). It frequently highlights several columns, despite the info in them being identical, and the calculated columns (with the original showing
the value they contained and the new showing #VALUE! (as Access can't display the formulas).
However, if I click Retry All Changes, all the update stick and everything seems fine. Why is this happening? It's proving very annoying and is really stopping the automation of my large number of queries. A list of 5000 items isn't particular big (and they've
got roughly 100 columns, although I didn't think that was too large either, given Excel's 200+ column limit).
Is this due to poor query design and SQL? Is this due to connectivity issues (which I doubt, as my line seems perfect)? Is this due to Access tripping over itself and not executing the update on each row in the table, but rather executing them concurrently
and locking itself up? I'm at wit's end about it and really need to get this sorted.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi amartin903,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you used a linked list from Access.
The table that you are updating is a linked table that does not have a primary key or a unique index. Or, the query or the form is based on a linked table that does not have a primary key or a unique index. Please add the primary key or a unique index.
Here is a similar post, please take a look at:

I hope this helps.

Getting An error has occured on the script of this page when copying content from SharePoint to Excel

Hi,
We have a SharePoint site where we use Windows Authentication for the base site and Forms based authentication for the extended site.
In the extended site certian portion of the site is having an anonymous access and certian part of the site reqires credentials to see the content.
When i try to copy the content from base site with Windows authentication to excel sheet it is prompting for the credentials and on providing the credentials content is getting copied.
But When i try to copy the content from the extended site either from the anonymous access pages or the pages which are shown after authentication in both the cases we are getting the below error.
On the error if i click on yes it is going to Login page of the site even for the pages with anonymous access as well as pages what we see after authentication.
Is there any way to avoid prompting for the windows credentials in case of Base site and avoid this error in the case of extended forms authentication site, as i am just copying the plain text from site to excel.
please help
Thanks,
Neela Krishna.

Hi Inderjeet.
Thanks for the reply I guess we could not get the fiddler trace as we are getting this error while i am copying the data to excel file which is present on drive from SharePoint this is not on a browser. Correct me if I am wrong
And Alternate access mappings and IIS bindings are perfect.
Thanks,
Neela Krishna.

Importing data from Access into InDesign...

Hi
I need to create 200 A6 sized profile cards. Each card must contain a person's name, job role, three key things they are currently working on and a full body photograph.
All the data is currently being collated in Microsoft Access (not currently sure of version). If Access is a problem I can convert to Excel. I am using InDesign CS6.
My question is - is there an easy way to mass import this data onto each profile card?
Many thanks in advance, I appreciate any suggestions :-)
Kim :-)

Another approach is export data from Access to xml-file. Create a template with placeholders in InDesign (in your case 5 text frames and a graphic frame). Then you can import the xml-file and InDesign will automatically create all the profile cards.

Hi All,
We are using classic planning application developed in Hyperion 11.1.2.2.
Is there any way that we can export data from Essbase to Excel (Please note that i don't want to do it on server machine where essbase is installed, instead i want it on any client PC which is accessing Essbase)

there are many ways you can do that, Through Excel Add-in,SmartView functions etc different.
It depends on the requirement , if you mean to say who Essbase Data then someone else should be able to answer this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi
You can get this from an inventory report in PI (Select Report Type AP). Here is an example of PI 2.1 works for me. Once you export this into excel you can sort based on controllers & filter the single controller connected AP you want.
