Hi there,
Can someone please look at my code and help me out help.

I am trying to convert over VB code to work with VBA in Access 2003. The code to list all of the available text files in a particular folder is working fine, and they get populated in a listbox called lstFiles, the problem is when I click on one of the textfile from this listbox I want it to show the contents of the text file in the listbox below named lstFileLines. I get the Compile Error: Method or data member not found, and highlights Text from lstFiles.Text on the following line of code:
Set oFile = fso.GetFile(txtFolder.Text & lstFiles.Text)

Here is all of my code, I am ultimately trying to import this text file into a table named CardTest, in case you notice any other code errors that I may have.

Thanks
 
An Access.Listbox object does not have a property called 'Text'
 
Ok maybe I should break my problem down.

I have the code working to search a particular folder and display all of the txt files from this folder in a list box(lstFiles). What I would next like to do is populate a second listbox(lstFileLines) with the Tab delimited data contained in the textfile that the user clicks on in the lstFiles listbox. Can someone supply me with the proper code needed.
Finally after viewing this data in the lstFileLines listbox I will want to import this data into a Access 2003 table named (CardTest).

Thanks for the help.
 
You might try importing the data into a temp table then use a subform to display the imported data. If the user approves then allow the user to click a button to append/update the temp data into your table.
 
Ok, I have been able to fix more of my code. I am now able to populate the second listbox with the data contained in the text file. I am now trying to get this data imported into my access table and seem to be having problems with the Connection object, getting the error, "Run time error'91', Object variable or With block variable not set" and the breakpoint goes to m_oConnection.Open within the cmdImport_Click sub procedure.

Keep in mind that my code did work with a VB6.0 form when importing to an Access table. I have been just trying to convert the code that I have to convert to get it to work with my Access 2003 VBA form and table.

Thanks so much
 
Dude, use code tags which'll preserve your indents. Highlight text and click the number sign '#' so you get something like ....
Code: 
Private Sub Test()
  With CodeTags
    .ThingsAreEasierToUnderstand = true
    .YoureMoreLikelyToGetUsefulAssistance = true
  End With
[COLOR="DarkRed"]  Debug.Print "Highlighting an important line with color is useful too"[/COLOR]
End Sub
It just makes helping you out way easier.
Cheers,
 
Hey Lagbolt, Thanks for the wonderful tidbits of information. I would appreciate if you didn't reply to any of my posts, as the two replies that you have provided have not been of any assistance to me, I am pretty sure that I can get some actual help from just about anyone else, DUDE!!

His first post did highlight an important point that a listbox doesn't have a Text property. It only has a Value or a Column(x) property which you can use to get a value from a listbox.

It does help when code is enclosed in code tags. I also tend to stress this point because we find it difficult to read unindented code. Here's how you do it:
[c o d e]
Your code goes in here
[/ c o d e]

Without spaces and without the colour.
 
Nothing wrong with the lagbolts suggestions. Why are you not using the simple TransferText command to import your text file into a table isntead of the long road you are trying to take?
 
Hey Hudson,

I totally agree with what Lagbolt said but I just found the tone of the email rather sarcastic, and I understand your backing him up since I am a newbie. On a positive note I was able to get everthing working on my own.

Thanks for now guys.
 
I regret that what I wrote landed as sarcastic. That was not my intention.

it is considered good forum etiquette to post your solution when you find one.

also, we're not backing lagbolt simply because you are a newbie. we're backing him because he is right.

The more you help us, the more we'll help you. if we can't read your code easily, there is less possibility we'll even try to decipher wher your code might be going wrong.

also, i didn't detect any bad 'tone' in lagbolt's posts. unlike yours.

glad you found a solution, you are obviously competent at coding.
 
Wiklendt, Not sure why you are replying back over two months later. If it is for the solution, I have moved on to other projects since, so it might be a little hard to find the solution for this one.

A few others replied saying that his comments weren't out of line and I accepted that, I just thought that it was a dead issue, I don't see a whole lot of positive out of your comments, sounds like you are just trying to stir the pot.

Everything was left cool back in July why not just leave it at that.

Thanks
 
you didn't sound cool or accepting of anything. sounded like you left in a stomp.

as for two month old post - the internet knows no time - i did a search online and this thread came up. for me it was only a few minutes old.

i can find solutions to projects i tackled several years back. you may want to look at organising your files or using backups to help you there. i find that i'll often want to copy/paste stuff i've done before into new projects - saves heaps of time building on what already exists than re-going everything from scratch.

not stirring the pot, just making things clear.

Doesn't sound like a stomp to me .................


...but we can go on forever lady...
