Importing/Exporting data from Microsoft Access

Hello to everybody!
I have to create a management software (client-server).
CLIENT SIDE: ClientS insert data into forms and these data are stored into a database Access (client database). Every month clients send to the server some of the data stored (data of the month!).
SERVER SIDE: "Server man" receive from clients those data by email end need to store them into the main server database.
Note: Data to be send have not a big dimension and, naturally, clients and server databases are identical (same structure)!
My questions are:
1) What is the best way to export data from database access to a file? (I imagine I need to use .XML file). Do I need to use particular package or software??
2) What is the best way to import data from a file (maybe .XML) into a database access (of server)?? Do I need to use particular package or software??
This is my first software of this kind.
Please HELP ME!
Thanks in advance, Liuk.

1) What is the best way to export data from database
access to a file?That depends on many things.
(I imagine I need to use .XML
file). NO! That's not what XML is for
Do I need to use particular package or
software??Again, that depends on a lot of things.
2) What is the best way to import data from a file
(maybe .XML) into a database access (of server)?? Do
I need to use particular package or software??Look at Java IO packages for reading data from files. Then look at JDBC for writing data to databases. Avoid XML, you don't need it.

Trying to Import data from Microsoft Access in POWERPIVOT

Hello,
I am trying to import data from Microsoft Access into Powerpivot. In my Access database I have several query's.
When I go to the Table Import Wizard in powerpivot, I only see one source table. Why can't I see the other query's?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Soraya

Hello Soraya,
Which Version of MS Excel / Power Pivot are you using? Do you try to Import from a MDB or from the new Format ACCDB? Are these common queries in MS Access or pass-through queries?
In common it should work, if I Import from a MDB I can see & select both, tables & views (queries):

HOW TO FILTER DATA FROM MICROSOFT ACCESS

HOW TO FILTER DATA FROM MICROSOFT ACCESS BASED ON DATE AND TIME AND GIVE THE RESULT TO A TABLE ?
I need some example files , can anybody please help me ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just be sure to get examples specific to the Jet DBMS. It is rather "idiosyncratic" when dealing with time and date values.
One question: the timestamp is being saved in a datetime field, right?

Retrieving data from Microsoft Access using JDBC

I noticed that when i tried retrieving data from Microsoft access using JDBC, I realised that it was throwing SQLException when the column names were two word with spaces between them, e.g. Date Birth. But after i removed the space from the column names, my SQL queries were retrieving data. Was it because of the space in between the column names of the table?

Yeah, as far as I know having two word column names isn't allowed in SQL. There might be some way to escape it, but generally it's sensible to avoid it.

Data from Microsoft Access ?

Hi,
When I deploy report that takes data from Microsoft Access, I got error: Unable to retreive object.
How do we set the data source for this ? I tried to put the MS access file in the same folder as the published rpt file, it didn't work.
Thanks

There are a couple of issues here for you to look at.
1. How are you connecting to the database from your development machine? If you're using an ODBC connection, that same connection must be set up on the computer where the report is deployed. Where you're using ODBC or another connection method, your deployement computer will also need to have installed whatever drivers are necessary for connecting to Access (they aren't installed by default with Windows!)
2. If the database resides on the network (I know, you said it was in the same folder as the report, but you may not always be able to do that!) the user who is logged in to the machine where your app is deployed will have to have valid network access to the folder where the database is located.

Unable to export data from Web Access Data Sheet in Sharepoint to local excel or access file

Greetings and good morning.
I'm going to start off in broad terms with this question because I'm not 100 percent sure what information to provide.
Long story short, we've got a Web Access Data Sheet list hosted in a Sharepoint 2010 environment. It is accessed and used by multiple people throughout the day. It contains several thousand line item entries. I'd call it a large data sheet.
I think the size of the data sheet is casuign some instability in the list. I'd like to be able to export a defined range of data from the list into a local excel or access file. After that, I'd delete the stuff on the Access list to improve performance.
But...when I attempt to use the Sharepoint Action bar to export - Excel locks up/crashes. If I try to export to Access, I get a similar issue.
Any ideas? Could anyone begin by telling me what other information is required?

Hi,
If you would like to export data from Access Web Database in SharePoint 2010, you could go to Design With Access page in Settings. The url in my environment is http://sp/tt/_layouts/accsrv/ModifyApplication.aspx . Then choose the Table and export it to Excel
or Modify it in Access.

Problem pulling data from Microsoft Access into Excel

Using Office 2010 pro, Windows 7:
I'm trying to pull in data from a password protected Access Database into Excel but I am having all kinds of problems..
In Excel im using:-
Data Link Properties> "Provider"> MS Office 12.0 Access database Engine OLE DB Provider
"Data Source": the full path and filename to the access database
"Enter information to log onto your server" - "use NT integrated security" is greyed out so I select username "Admin" and password <the database password>.
When clicking on "Test connection" I get the following error message:
"The test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user."
Any help would be very much appreciated!
With thanks, NECoder

Send and take back data from Microsoft Access 2007

Hi everybody,
I wish you could help me with my application that is very urgent. I have some characters read by OCR and i want to send them to a database in Microsoft Access 2007 and compare if there is a match or not of the data i sent from labview. I want a true or false as a result of comparison in access and send this response back to labview.
The thing is that the characters read by OCR in labview are characters from a license plate and i want to compare those in a database in Microsoft Access and this has to tell me if there is a match or not and send a response to labview to use it for letting a car enter or not to a parking lot. I dont know how to do all i have explained.
And another question, how can i create a database in microsoft access which i could modify while i am running the application i told you before.
Thanks a lot....

Hola a todos,
Espero puedan ayudarme con mi aplicación que es de suma urgencia. Tengo varios caracteres leidos de una placa vehicular mediante OCR y quisiera mandarlos a una base de datos en microsoft Access y compararlos con la base de datos de placas vehiculares para saber si esta o no en la base. Esta respuesta quisiera enviarla de nuevo al labview para mostrar si el vehiculo ingresa o no al parqueadero. Además no se si se pueda ir ingresando datos a la base de datos mientras estoy corriendo la aplicación en labview. y como hago una base de datos asi en microsoft access..
Gracias de antemano

Retrieving ESSBase data from Microsoft Access

Hello
Can anyone advise on how to pull data from Essbase directly into MS Access rather than via Excel?
Thanks

There are several ways...
1. Report Script
2. Date Export Calc
I can't remember if the HAL adapter can pull from essbase and load right into access via an ODBC adapter. If so, that would be rather clean approach.
hope this helps you get started.

Upload data from microsoft access to oracle form(in data block)

Hi all,
Any one can help me, how we can upload data from access file to developer form(in data block).
as
we upload data from text file to developer form(in data block) using some packages.
Thank's in advance

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

MOVING DATA FROM MICROSOFT ACCESS, EXCEL, PUBLISHER AND WORD TO AN IMAC G5

I HAVE INHERITED AN IMAC G5 RUNNING MAC OSX. CAN I CONVERT MY MICROSOFT ACCESS, EXCEL, PUBLISHER AND WORD FILES FROM MY HP PAVILION RUNNING WINDOWS 98 SE TO RUN ON THIS IMAC?

Please do not post in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
It looks like you are SHOUTING AT EVERYONE.
That said... you can purchase Microsoft Office for Mac and use your Word and Excel files as you normally would on any Windows PC.
Microsoft Access and Publisher will require you to use Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office for Windows. You'd need to install Virtual PC for Mac on your G5 to use Windows and Office for Windows.
It'll likely be slow and painful.

Macro to import/export data with MS Access

The company I work for has a series of MS Word documents that can use a macro button (button in MS Word) to communicate with MS Access. The Word document receives a tracking number and gives MSAccess two fields of information such as name, and date. The word document then saves that tracking number, and Access saves the name and date information.
Is this macro a possibility with Adobe LifeCycle documents? I have replaced the word documents with LifeCycle designed pdfs. The pdfs are amazing but the macro is the last piece to bridge the gap. Any comments or suggestions? From some light Adobe reading it appears possible.Thanks as always for your help.
I have found the MS Word file macro. Is this convertible to javascript?

Is there any way of importing stuffs from Microsoft Access to SQL Server?

I have quite a big store of information Microsoft Access DB, but now i am required to switch to SQL Server?
Is there any way of importing to SQL Server, either by Java programming or manually?
Thank you in advance.

I like to give some tips on how to fulfil the requirement.. I haven't tried this. If you succeeded, it is well and good.
1) Using Java:
If you like to Java to import the data from MS Access to SQL Server, you have to write a JDBC Program in such a way that it has to retrieve the data from each MSAccess tables and store it in temperory java varaible.After writng into the temp. varaibles, the same thing will be written into SQL Server. The whole process is repeated for all the tables in MS Access.
2) Manual Process:
Try to get the data scripts from MS-Access for all the tables and Load the same into SQL Server
I hope that Manual Process consumes less time compared in writing the codes for transformation..
I hope that you got some idea on reading this. If you have any doubts, try to get back to me..
