I have one excel file which contains data,I have to import the data in excel file using the ms access form UI.I need to create form which takes input as excel file and inserts the records in the MS access table. I need to place some logic using VB before inserting the data to MS access.
Kindly guide me how I can achieve it as I am naive in this technology.
Use the MS Access external data wizards to link the Excel file and then proceed as if the linked table was native to MS Access.
You can also use in VBA DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet Method to link or import Excel.

Hi I have a Project plan which sits on MS Project Server. What would be the easiest way for me to create a data connection which isn't just a one time refresh from Project to Excel with the use of VBA?
I could obviously take an extract manually each time from MS Project to Excel but wondering if there is anything I can use to automate this via a Data Connection in Excel?
You can create an Excel data connection which uses an identity from the securestore (as described here) and then query the project server database (some sample queries here)
I have a validation tool that needs to be run ~300 times for various inputs. I'm planning to use a cursor to loop through all the required inputs (as the validation query is created dynamically)
I've been asked to export all this information to an excel file (separated into unique sheets for each of the ~300 resulsets.).
From what I've read about SSIS, it isn't able to export dynamically created queries into an excel file (if I'm mistaken, please correct me!).
I've also tried using dbo.sp_OACreate, but the security settings on the server I'm using disallow me from doing so.
Is there another way to export my ~300 resultsets into an excel spreadsheet programmatically?
It would seem that there is no way to do this using sql server 2012. I ended up using a CLR program to query and export the data to an excel spreadsheet.
I used datasets to run my queries and the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel library to export it to a spreadsheet.
I am trying to make an application in VB6.0 using MS Excel as database. I have some textboxes on my VB Form to take input from user. I want to store those values in an Excel file. There will be another form where I want to retrieve the values from Excel and display it in textbox/labels.
Can I use SQL queries for inserting/retrieving the values while using Excel as database?
I just need a sample code for understanding the process. Rest I will try to manage.
Thanks in advance.
It's a poor idea.
While you can treat an Excel workbook as a data source via the Jet IISAM or ODBC Desktop Driver this is really meant for simple importing and exporting and has numerous limitations.
Save yourself some grief and just use Jet 4.0 to create and make use of MDB files. No MS Access is required, Jet 4.0 comes preinstalled and has for a rather long time now.
I have developed a program in which all data is entered into a SQL DB. the program has been designed in Visual Studio using Visual Basic. I am now getting external data supplied in an excel format and need to know how to import the excel data into the SQL DB and ensure the data goes into the appropriate columns. I have set a template up for them with standard excel headers and I open and view the data into a datagridview before the import but the last part which is the import function to SQL I have not yet worked out.
Any help would be most appreciative.
Is there a specific problem that you're having?
A better bet might be to use SSIS to import the data. It's what SSIS is made to do.
Can I create a macro written in C# for Excel that allows me to export a cell's data to a SQL Server or Access database?
Basically, I'd like to create a button in Excel that saves the data in certain cells to a database. Can this be done?
Instead of creating a UI from scratch for a program, I've decided using Excel as the user environment would be better for business needs.
How to automate Excel by using Visual C# to fill or to obtain data in a range by using arrays would be a good starting point.
Be aware, you're going to find it frustrating to control what people attempt to enter into the Excel sheet, as the inherit flexibility of the data works again your efforts to write it to a database destination.
