***** please don’t redirect me to Google Oracle or … i already spent 5 hours searching *****
I am trying to get the data from my table to a file so i can then import that data to mysql table so SPOOL is not gonna help.
It’s even better if u tell me how to transfer data from oracle to mysql

What tool are you using to access Oracle? SQL Plus? If so, I would check out the SQL Loader utility – I think it will provide the functionality you are looking for. I haven’t used it in awhile, so you will need to look into it and see how to use it. Good luck.

I want to write a macro that will copy a row of data in Excel into an already existing table in Access.

I have experience with VBA as well as MS Access. The best way to do this is not use VBA at all. The easiest way is to use the "Link Tables" function in Access.

To do this, simply click on File > Get External Data > Link Tables. Then choose your excel location from there. From then on… anything changed in the excel table will automatically be transferred to the Access table as long as both files are housed in the location in wence they were first linked.

I want to create a document that shows the fields and data types of an ms access database in excel format. Can i do it without typing all the fields in excel?

Try using the Documenter:
Toolbar>>Tools>>Analyze>>Documenter

I don’t know if it has an EXCEL format, but it does show what you are asking for.

Alternativley:
Initiate the EXPORT function as a TEXT file, then click "ADVANCED".
While in the "Specs" view resize the columns (It usually show only "Field Name" but "Data Type" and several other elements are also available, just drag the right edge of the end column).
CTRL+A and CTRL+C and paste that into your Excel file. Then just Cancel the export.

I want to play around with some data myself with excel, but I haven’t figured out (or found a site) that will allow me to do this. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I’m a novice and I just want to play around with trendlines or curve fitting, nothing serious.

It should say Get historical prices for: enter the stock abrev.
Then on the bottom it says download to spreadsheet.

I am using an older (non-browser) version.

Very easy. For searches, just click on export button on lower right bottom of screen. Select excel, hit button and that’s it. you must have excel loaded on the computer.
For Reports, once result comes back, click on icon in upper left hand corner of the screen and then select excel from dialoge box.

Im using Sharepoint 2007 and SQL 2005… Id like to take advantage of the sharepoint list functionality and use the data to drive a web application in asp.net .. any idea how to access the list’s data programatically ??vb.net

You have 2 options – access through web services and through object model. Using the Object Model would mean that the application would need to run on the SharePoint server itself. You can use the web services from any location that has access to the Sharepoint web application.

Here is the basic way to connect and enumerate a list in SharePoint using the object model.

Dim siteCollectionUri As Uri = new Uri(http://….)
If SPSite.Exists(siteCollectionUri) Then
Dim site As New SPSite(siteCollectionUri.ToString())
Dim web As SPWeb = site.OpenWeb()
Dim list As SPList = web.Lists("LIST NAME")
Dim listItems As SPListItemCollection = list.Items
End If

Dim item As SPListItem
For Each item In listItems
item["FIELD NAME"]
Next item

In the for each loop above you could have a database connection setup with a data adapter adding a new row to a SQL table each iteration of the loop and then call the update method on the data adapter to update the real SQL table with the new rows.

If you need more details let me know
Thanks,

Related Questions:

How do you avoid named cell conflicts (e.g. if they both have cells called "cellName")?

Is there a single easy command to take a single block of data and make it into a new sheet with a certain name.

How do you rearrange sheets?
Sorry, I forgot to add, WITH A MACRO (just capitalized for emphasis, I’m not mad or anything)

You are kind of asking a whole bunch of different questions all in one so it makes this kind of hard to answer.

As for as avoiding the named cell conflicts, that is probably due to the fact that named ranges normally have a workbook wide level scope. That means you could pick a group of cells that consists of a few cells from each and every worksheet of your workbook and then go to the Name box and name the range. And then the name for that range would include all of those cells. So normally that name can only be used once inside of the workbook.

If however you want to refer to Cell C3 as InterestRate on all of your worksheets and you want to refer to just one cell on each worksheet and not a group of all the C3 cells you have to reduce the scope down to the worksheet level. To do that, you have to add the worksheet name followed by an exclamation point then the name. So if I was on Sheet2 and Range C3 on Sheet2 was named interest rate and I wanted to refer to C3 on Sheet1 that I also named interest rate, then I’d refer to that named range as:

Sheet1!InterestRate

If you are referring to that range on the same page you don’t have to include the worksheet name followed by a parenthesis. So for the named range InterestRate on Sheet2 you’d only have to specify InterestRate as long as the active sheet is Sheet2.

As far as moving the worksheets around, all you have to do is use the Move method. The move command is followed by a before or after designation.

This example moves Sheet1 right after Sheet3.

Worksheets("Sheet1").Move after:=Worksheets("Sheet3")

This example moves Sheet1 right before Sheet3.

Worksheets("Sheet1").Move before:=Worksheets("Sheet3")

In additions to referencing the worksheets by their name you can also reference them by the number of their position. The one at the far left is one, the one to the immediate right is 2, and so on.

So if Sheet1 is the first sheet and Sheet3 is the third sheet, you could restate the first example like this:

Worksheets(1).Move before:=Worksheets(3)

The number refers to the placement of the worksheet from left to right.

There are tons of other ways of doing copies also.

You could name the range then copy and paste the range. Or if it is a block, you can use:

ActiveCell.CurrentRegion

This will help you out. You can use the Address property of that to get the name of the range.

ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Address

What that does is get the address of the block of cells with data in them that surround the active cell. You can pass this off as a Range by passing the address to a variable that is set as a string. For example:

Dim RangeAddress As String

RangeAddress = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Address

Range(RangeAddress).Copy
Worksheets.Add
ActiveWorksheet.Range("A1").Paste

This coding will copy the block of cells surrounding your active cell (where you have your cursor) and will paste it into a new worksheet starting in Cell A1.

If you are having trouble, another thing you can do is use the Macro Recorder then go back and look at the coding that it created. Go to Tools > Macro > Record Macro. Then go back and instead of running the macro, click the edit button and that will allow you to see the coding.
