Access DB cant return focus to inputbox - excel

I am using an Access Db to export some information to an Excel Workbook. I am using an input form to add dates to the query that creates the sheet. If I create 1 sheet the export works. If I create more than one sheet once the query goes to the second sheet the focus stays on the excel spreadsheet. If you enter a date it goes on cell A1 of the spreadsheet instead of the input box. Any help is appreciated.

Seems to me that you are doing a whole lot of work for nothing. There's not need to automate Excel unless you want to do some formatting. Simply export the query to Excel via TransferSpreadsheet. Instead of the input box, use a parameter in the query, or better yet, a small form with a textbox.
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "yourQueryName", "FileName", True, "SheetName"

Why is my Index Match generating an error? VBA

Replace values in each Sheet in a Workbook using values from a Table

Greeting!
I have a VBA that is in a Workbook with a Table containing strings for replacement. The VBA logic do the following:
Read files in folder
Create a separate process
Open a file from the folder in that separate process
In "Main" and "DataSpreadSheet" Worksheets look and replace values that are present in the Table.
Save the separate process workbook under another
Repeats the action on the other file in the folder.
This VBA proceeds the way I need, the only problem is that it takes so much time.
I have a bunch of files, over 100 to proceed regularly, and each file around 10-15 minutes to proceed, while the data for replacement is in range of B3:BB500 at most, with approximately 40% of cells in the range is actually filled with values.
The code is below, and do you have any suggestion on how to make it proceed faster? I have already disabled all calculations and updates while code is running.
The overall goal for the VBA is to translate Worksheets to another language using provided in Table translated strings arranged in columns for each language
I would appreciate help with rewriting the VBA.

Will post as an answer, in order to show a code and visualization.
You need a 2D array. This is the same worksheet (table). The difference is that you will have to use numbers when referring to the array's columns and rows (the same as for Cells property where you refer as Cells(row_number, column_number)).
Copy entire range that needs processing from the worksheet to a dynamic array. If you want the rows and column indices in the worksheet and in the array to be the consistent, start your range from the first cell (A1). This way, there will be no need in additional conversion from the worksheet cell indices and the array's ones because first row/column in the worksheet corresponds to the first row/column in the array. For example, array(4, 5) cell in the array refers to Cells(4, 5) cell in the worksheet.
Process the data in the array as required. Than, copy the data from the array back to the worksheet.
' Range that needs processing.
' I suggest starting the range from A1
' this way, the array row and column numbering
' will be the same as for the sheet
Dim rangeToCopy As Range
Set rangeToCopy = Sheet1.Range("A1:S20")
rangeToCopy.Select ' just to show range
' Copy data from sheet to 2D array.
' Note that is must be dynamic and of Variant type.
Dim arrayFromSheet() As Variant
arrayFromSheet = rangeToCopy
' Process needed part of array.
For r = Sheet1.Range("D6").Row To UBound(arrayFromSheet, 1)
For c = Sheet1.Range("D6").Column To UBound(arrayFromSheet, 2)
arrayFromSheet(r, c) = arrayFromSheet(r, c) + 1
Next c
Next r
' Copy data from 2D array back to sheet.
rangeToCopy.Value = arrayFromSheet
Hope this helps.

Import from closed workbook in order of sheets ADODB

As to me, ADODB is something new for me that I am eager to learn. Here's a code that I tried my best but needs your ideas to make it appear more professional and more efficient. The problem in the code is that the data is grabbed from sheets in reverse order and not in the order of sheets. To make it clear, I have Sample.xlsx workbook with two sheets Sheet1 and New and the code is supposed to loop through t he sheets then search for specific header then to get the data from such a column. All this with the ADO approach. the code grabs the data from New sheet first then from Sheet1 .. While the order of the sheets is Sheet1 then New >> another point, how can I close the recordset properly. I mean is using .Close is enough or I have to set it to Nothing Set rs=Nothing.
Sub ImportFromClosedWorkbook()
Dim e, ws As Worksheet, cn As ADODB.Connection, rs As ADODB.Recordset, rsHeaders As ADODB.Recordset, b As Boolean, sFile As String, shName As String, strSQL As String, iCol As Long
sFile = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Sample.xlsx"
'shName = "Sheet1"
Dim rsData As ADODB.Recordset
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open ConnectionString:="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source='" & sFile & "';" & "Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;"";"
'--------
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
Set rs = cn.OpenSchema(20)
Do While Not rs.EOF
sName = rs.Fields("Table_Name")
If Right(sName, 14) <> "FilterDatabase" Then
sName = Left(sName, Len(sName) - 1)
'Debug.Print sName
b = False
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [" & sName & "$]"
Set rsHeaders = New ADODB.Recordset
rsHeaders.Open Source:=strSQL, ActiveConnection:=cn, Options:=1
For iCol = 0 To rsHeaders.Fields.Count - 1
'Debug.Print rsHeaders.Fields(iCol).Name
For Each e In Array("Ref No", "Reference", "Number")
If e = rsHeaders.Fields(iCol).Name Then
b = True: Exit For
End If
Next e
If b Then Exit For
Next iCol
If b Then
'Debug.Print e
strSQL = "SELECT [" & e & "] FROM [" & sName & "$]"
Set rsData = New ADODB.Recordset
Set rsData = cn.Execute(strSQL)
ws.Range("A" & ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1).CopyFromRecordset rsData
rsData.Close
'here I am stuck of how to get the data from the found column
End If
'rs.Close
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
'rs.Close
'------------------
' strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [" & shName & "$]"
' Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
' Set rs = cn.Execute(strSQL)
' Range("A1").CopyFromRecordset rs
rs.Close: Set rs = Nothing
cn.Close: Set cn = Nothing
End Sub
the code grabs the data from New sheet first then from Sheet1 .. While the order of the sheets is Sheet1 then New
The tab order is an Excel feature. The Sheet names are extracted in alphabetical order when you use ADODB. This is the reason why you get New sheet first and then Sheet1.
Note: If the sheet names start with number or have spaces then they are given a priority first. Few examples
Example 1
Sheets names: 1, Sheet1, 1Sheet4, She et3, Sheet5
Returned as
'1$'
'1Sheet4$'
'She et3$'
Sheet1$
Sheet5$
Example 2
Sheets names: Sheet2, Sheet5, She et3, Sheet1, Sheet4
Returned as
'She et3$'
Sheet1$
Sheet2$
Sheet4$
Sheet5$
Example 3
Sheets names: 1, Sheet1, 2, Sheet2, 3, Sheet3
Returned as
'1$'
'2$'
'3$'
Sheet1$
Sheet2$
Sheet3$
Alternative to ADODB
If you want to extract the names of the sheets in the tab order then you can use DAO as shown by Andrew Poulsom in THIS link. Posting the code here in case the link dies...
Sub GetSecondSheetName()
' Requires a reference to Microsoft DAO x.x Object Library
' Adjust to suit
Const FName As String = "P:\Temp\MrExcel\Temp\SheetNames.xls"
Dim WB As DAO.Database
Dim strSheetName As String
Set WB = OpenDatabase(FName, False, True, "Excel 8.0;")
' TableDefs is zero based
strSheetName = WB.TableDefs(1).Name
MsgBox strSheetName
WB.Close
End Sub
Close is enough or I have to set it to Nothing Set rs=Nothing.
No you do not have to set it to nothing. VBA cleans it automatically when it exits the prodecure. But yes it is a good practice to flush the toilet.
Interesting Read:
You may want to read the post by #GSerg in the below link...
When should an Excel VBA variable be killed or set to Nothing?
For it to work with XLSX, use this (Requires a reference to Microsoft Office XX.XX Access database engine Object Library)
Option Explicit
'~~> Change this to the relevant file name
Const FName As String = "C:\Users\routs\Desktop\Delete Me later\TEXT.XLSX"
Sub Sample()

Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To db.TableDefs.Count - 1
Debug.Print db.TableDefs(i).Name
Next i
db.Close
End Sub

#Siddharth Rout you have inspired me how to search for such new topic for me and I could use such a code to list all the worksheets in the order of tab using DAO but with late binding ( I am curious to know how to use early binding as I tried but with no success)

For i = 0 To db.TableDefs.Count - 1

Find values from a Word table in an Excel table

I want to iterate through the values of a column in a table in a word file, and check if those values are in a column in a table in an Excel file. I have the following code:
Private Sub CompararColumnas_Click()
Dim wrdTbl As Table
'Set your table
With ActiveDocument
If ActiveDocument.Tables.Count >= 1 Then
Set wrdTbl = .Tables(InputBox("Table # to copy? There are " & .Tables.Count & " tables to choose from."))
End If
End With
Dim AD_UsersPath As String
AD_UsersPath = "C:\Users\" & Environ("Username") & "\Desktop\Comparar Columnas VBA\Animales.xlsx"
Dim AD_USERS As Object
Set AD_USERS = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
AD_USERS.Visible = False
AD_USERS.Application.Workbooks.Open AD_UsersPath
LastRow = ThisDocument.Tables(1).Columns(1).Cells.Count
Dim I As Integer
For I = 1 To LastRow
wVal = ThisDocument.Tables(1).Cell(I, 1)
User = AD_USERS.Cells(AD_USERS.Range("A:A").Find(What:=wVal).Row, 1).Text
wrdTbl.Cell(I, 2).Range.Text = User
Next I
End Sub
This code iterates in wVal the values from the first column in a table from Word and after that it goes to Excel to find those values in the first column of the Excel table. If it finds them, it copies the values in the second column of the word table. However, it gives me an error 91. If instead of Find(What:=wVal) I put something like Find(What:="Word") it does not give me an error and puts the word "Word" in every cell of the second column of the word table. How can I solve this?
Cell values in Word have a two-character "end of cell" marker (Chr(13) + Chr(7)) which you need to remove:
Private Sub CompararColumnas_Click()
Dim wrdTbl As Table
'Set your table
With ActiveDocument
If ActiveDocument.Tables.Count > 1 Then
Set wrdTbl = .Tables(InputBox("Table # to copy? There are " & _
.Tables.Count & " tables to choose from."))
Else
Set wrdTbl = .Tables(1) 'default to the only table
End If
End With
Dim AD_UsersPath As String, wb As Object, ws As Object
AD_UsersPath = "C:\Users\" & Environ("Username") & _
"\Desktop\Comparar Columnas VBA\Animales.xlsx"
Dim AD_USERS As Object
Set AD_USERS = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
AD_USERS.Visible = False
Set wb = AD_USERS.Workbooks.Open(AD_UsersPath)
Set ws = wb.Worksheets(1)
Dim LastRow As Long, I As Long, User

copyfromrecordset returns blank column

I am creating an ADODB connection to a Sybase database, executing an SQL statement into a recordset, and then using the CopyFromRecordset method to paste the contents of the recordset to a range. This has been working fine but I recently moved PC's at work and now one of the columns is returning nothing.
When I run the same SQL in SQuirreL the column is not blank.
If I pause the VBA and try to look at one of the values in the column / field in question (ie ?rst.fields(1).value in the immediate Window) I get the following error message:
Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)': Unspecified error.
In the Squirrel results Metadata tab the column in question is described as:
ColumnIndex 2
getColumnName CommentText
getColumnTypeName text
getPrecision 2147483647
getScale 0
isNullable 0
getTableName xxxxxxx
getSchemaName
getCatalogName
getColumnClassName java.sql.Clob
getColumnDisplaySize 2147483647
getColumnLabel CommentText
getColumnType 2005
isAutoIncrement FALSE
isCaseSensitive FALSE
isCurrency FALSE
isDefinitelyWritable FALSE
isReadOnly FALSE
isSearchable FALSE
isSigned FALSE
isWritable TRUE
The code in question is below, but, as stated the code does not seem to be the problem as it has worked previously - any ideas?

According to the CopyFromRecordset() MSDN:
When this method copies the recordset to the worksheet, the results
will be truncated if you do not specify a range that is large enough
to hold the contents of the recordset.
Consider specifying the range with MoveFirst command reset:
' Copy data into comments sheet
rst.MoveLast
rst.MoveFirst
wsData.Range("A2:Z500").CopyFromRecordset rst
Or entire worksheet (starting at A1, of course inserting row for column headers)
wsData.Cells.CopyFromRecordset rst
But even then, CopyFromRecordset() is sensitive to data and cursory types even memory (since you pull all data and dump at once), so consider altogether replacing the method and iterate through records for the rows. Even other languages (PHP, Python, Java, etc.) run queries this way, opening cursor and iterating through resultset.
' Put in the headers
Set rng = wsData.Range("A1")
For x = 1 To rst.Fields.Count
rng.Offset(0, x - 1).Value = rst.Fields(x - 1).Name
Next x
' Put in rows
Dim col As Integer, row As Integer
rst.MoveLast
rst.MoveFirst
Set rng = wsData.Range("A2")
row = 0
Do While Not rst.EOF
For col = 0 To rst.Fields.Count - 1
rng.Offset(row, col).Value = rst(col)
Next col
row = row + 1
rst.MoveNext
Loop
