Import Validation using Transfertext

[tsmithjr]

I'm stumbling my way through creating a basic import procedure in VB using the Transfertext process. I have the code working to browse to the text file and import successfully but I have no validation in making sure it goes in successfully or error if it fails. Ideally I would parse through the file but for now I would like to create at least a way to pop up a message if it can't import and one if it successfully imports.

Private Declare Function GetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias _
"GetOpenFileNameA" (pOpenfilename As OPENFILENAME) As Long

    Dim sFilter As String
    OpenFile.lStructSize = Len(OpenFile)
    OpenFile.hwndOwner = strform.Hwnd
    sFilter = "All Files (*.*)" & Chr(0) & "*.*"
    OpenFile.lpstrFilter = sFilter
    OpenFile.nFilterIndex = 1
    OpenFile.lpstrFile = String(257, 0)
    OpenFile.nMaxFile = Len(OpenFile.lpstrFile) - 1
    OpenFile.lpstrFileTitle = OpenFile.lpstrFile
    OpenFile.nMaxFileTitle = OpenFile.nMaxFile
    OpenFile.lpstrInitialDir = "V:\_Records\Notary\DataFiles"
    OpenFile.lpstrTitle = "Please browse to a file"
    OpenFile.flags = 0
    lReturn = GetOpenFileName(OpenFile)
        If lReturn = 0 Then
            MsgBox "A file was not selected!", vbInformation, _
              "Please browse to a file"
         Else
            LaunchCD = Trim(Left(OpenFile.lpstrFile, InStr(1, OpenFile.lpstrFile, vbNullChar) - 1))

Private Sub btn_importO_Click()
If InStr(1, Me.filename, "erieo", vbTextCompare) Then
        DoCmd.TransferText TransferType:=acImportFixed, SpecificationName:="NotaryImportO", TableName:="dbo_Notary_test", filename:=Me.filename, HasFieldNames:=False
     Else
        MsgBox "Please make sure you chose the erieo.txt file to import Originals"
    End If
     Me.filename = ""
End If
End Sub

Thank you

what about an error trap:

Private Sub btn_importO_Click()

[B]on error goto errImport[/B]

If InStr(1, Me.filename, "erieo", vbTextCompare) Then
        DoCmd.TransferText TransferType:=acImportFixed, SpecificationName:="NotaryImportO", TableName:="dbo_Notary_test", filename:=Me.filename, HasFieldNames:=False
     Else
        MsgBox "Please make sure you chose the erieo.txt file to import Originals"
    End If
     Me.filename = ""
End If

[B]exit sub
errImport:
msgbox err.description,,err[/B]
End Sub

Ranman256,
That actually works perfect for now.

Where could I add an message if no error and import is successful?

Thank You
