Re: [MS_AccessPros] Export spec truncating number

 

Good morning Crystal,

I am able to edit the field values in MsysIMEXColumns table. I changed the data type of the price field from 7 to

5. I got different results when running the export. Double data type gives me .37 truncating the 5. Currency data type rounds the .375 up to .38. Neither results work for this record. I need it to come across as .375. Any ideas?

hi Doyce,

show the system tables in the navigation pane. The tables that store import/export specs are:

MsysIMEXspecs
MsysIMEXcolumns

While you cannot modify the tables directly, you can use APPEND queries to add records to those tables -- and you can delete records from them directly. You can probably use UPDATE queries on them too, but what I usually do is

1. make-table from the columns of a spec using MsysIMEXcolumns
2. delete rows from MsysIMEXcolumns for a particular spec
3. modify specs
4. use APPEND query to write records back to MsysIMEXcolumns for a particular spec

have an awesome day,

Good morning Bill,

The field's data type was double. I changed it to currency but that has no effect at this time. How do I edit the spec? I can't even remember how I created it. It's been too long. :-)

Hi Doyce

 

What is the spec field's data type? Currency should hold 4 decimal places. You probably just have to edit the spec and save it as the same name.

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Export spec truncating number

 

 

Hello Pros,

I created an export specification years ago that has worked perfectly for about 15 years. It exports a table to a csv file. The table comes from invoice detail. Now for the first time ever, we invoiced something at .375 each instead of whole pennies. When the file is exported, the spec truncates the price to .37 even though the table shows the price correctly as .375. How can I fix this? I know the spec is hidden and I can't remember how I created it in the first place. I have googled this but have only found answers for saving exports. I guess I'm not using the corrct search terms. Here is the code I run to export the table.

DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "ARInvoiceDetailUpload Export Specification", "tblARInvoiceDetailUpload", "N:\Accnting\AR Upload\RSI_AR_INV_LINES_" & Format(Date, "mm_dd_yy") & ".rsl"

Thanks in advance.

Doyce Winberry
