Hi I need an urgent solution to this please


Sub runfetch_BudData()

Dim mydb As DAO.Database
Dim rstparameter As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstdata As DAO.Recordset
Dim strcriteria As String
'Dim sqlstringIn As String
'Dim sqlstringOut As String
Dim strSQL1 As String


Set mydb = CurrentDb
strSQL = "SELECT [BudgetHeirarchy-DivisionNames-Table].[Program ID]"
strSQL = strSQL & "FROM [BudgetHeirarchy-DivisionNames-Table]"
strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE ((([BudgetHeirarchy-DivisionNames-Table].FilesToRun)=-1));"
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
DoCmd.RunSQL ("Delete * from tblTMP")


Do Until rst.EOF = True
strcriteria = rst![Program ID] & ".txt"
DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "Dex1", "tblTMP", "c:\SAP Extracts\DivisionExtract\" & strcriteria, True
SQL = "INSERT INTO tblMain ([Program ID]) SELECT tblTmp.*, " & rst.[Program ID] & " AS [Program ID] FROM tblTmp;"
Debug.Print (SQL)

Error is on this line


CurrentDb.Execute SQL, dbFailOnError

I'm adding all fields from another table and entering a new field which equals the Program ID value from the recordset

When I entered the SQL its giving me now an unidentified field error 3127 for [Program ID]

This is debug output

INSERT INTO tblMain ([Program ID]) SELECT "AF-B01" AS [Program ID] FROM tblTmp;

I got it to work except its not importing all the fields from tblTmp


strSQL1 = "INSERT INTO tblMain ([Program ID]) SELECT tblTmp.*, " & Chr(34) & rst.[Program ID] & Chr(34) & " AS [Program ID] FROM tblTmp;"
As mentioned earlier, you need to spell out all of your fields, and match the order between the two clauses:

strSQL1 = "INSERT INTO tblMain (Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, [Program ID]) SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, " & Chr(34) & rst.[Program ID] & Chr(34) & " AS [Program ID] FROM tblTmp;"
I find it best to avoid SELECT *  or SELECT tblTmp.*.  I always list every field. This way I am sure it is correct

I'm getting the following error now :

Runtime 3049: Cannot Open Database 'INSERT INTO tblMain  

Please see attached file for the error ... It worked on almost every file and got stuck on this one

I have also checked online that runtime error usually refers to not enough memory so I'm trying on a different database and I'm currently getting  the same error 3061 : Expected 1.

I have checked all the field names. I'm attaching the database for your reference

Secondly, its duplicating the lines over and over and assigning it the wrong text file ID


I'm getting multiple instances of the same line over and over in tblMain

However in tblTmp its perfectly fine

Do Until rst.EOF = True

strcriteria = rst![Program ID] & ".txt"

DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "Dex1", "tblTMP", "c:\SAP Extracts\DivisionExtract\" & strcriteria, True

strSQL1 = "INSERT INTO tblMain (CCGROUP,COST_CENTRE_DESC,CostElement,CostElementDesc,ActualYTD,CommitmentYTD,TotalYTD,PlanYTD,YTDVariance,AnnualPlan,AnnualVariance,[Program ID]) SELECT CCGROUP,COST_CENTRE_DESC,CostElement,CostElementDesc,ActualYTD,CommitmentYTD,TotalYTD,PlanYTD,YTDVariance,AnnualPlan,AnnualVariance, " & Chr(34) & rst.[Program ID] & Chr(34) & " AS [Program ID] FROM tblTmp;"

Debug.Print (strSQL1)

CurrentDb.Execute strSQL1, dbFailOnError


rst.MoveNext
Loop
MsgBox "completed"
<<Secondly, its duplicating the lines over and over and assigning it the wrong text file ID >>

Well that is exactly what your code should be doing. Thsi means the code is executlting properly. It just may bot be what you want.  

Your code is running the exact  same append SQL

strSQL1 = "INSERT INTO tblMain (CCGROUP,COST_CENTRE_DESC,CostElement,CostElementDesc,ActualYTD,CommitmentYTD,TotalYTD,PlanYTD,YTDVariance,AnnualPlan,AnnualVariance,[Program ID]) SELECT CCGROUP,COST_CENTRE_DESC,CostElement,CostElementDesc,ActualYTD,CommitmentYTD,TotalYTD,PlanYTD,YTDVariance,AnnualPlan,AnnualVariance, " & Chr(34) & rst.[Program ID] & Chr(34) & " AS [Program ID] FROM tblTmp;"

Open in new window



for every record in the recordset (rst). The only change is the the Program ID will change each time the same data is append over and over again.  

It would help if you would explain what you are attempting  to do. Once we understand what you want to do then we can help you modify the code to get the desired results.

What I want is the program to grab all fields from a text file then append it to a table with its filename in another field.

Originally the table would be empty then filled in with records imported from the text files.

In my opinion it should be that the tblTmp should be cleared once the records have been inserted into TblMain

For example I have 10 text files each with its unique filename.

I need a loop to go through another table to see whether I want to import these text files based on their names.

After confirming that these files need to be imported

I would import these files into a table. Furthermore I need a field to populate the filename of the text file being imported currently.

This would be done until all the files have been imported.
