Export Access Database to CSV

Overview of Exporting Access Tables to CSV

Exporting tables from a Microsoft Access database to CSV format is essential for compatibility with systems like Neon CRM. The process involves using a VBA routine to automate the conversion from Access tables to individual CSV files without the need to manually create Export Specifications.

Preparing Access Tables for Neon CRM

Neon CRM requires data in CSV format. Begin by exporting each table from your Access database as separate .xls files. Subsequently, these files must be converted to .csv format in Microsoft Excel. Only .csv files are accepted by the Import Manager in Neon CRM.

Converting .xls to .csv

After exporting Access tables to .xls files, open each file in Microsoft Excel and save it as a .csv file. This step ensures the files are prepared for Neon CRM's Import Manager. The name of the CSV file should match the original Access table for consistency.

Importing CSV Files into Neon CRM

With the CSV files named after their respective Access tables, you can now import them into Neon CRM. For custom imports, consider uploading the entire Access database file to Neon CRM for review, rather than individual CSV files.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my Access database tables into CSV format?

Export each of your data tables from Access into single .xls files, then save these files as .csv files in Microsoft Excel.

What do I do if I encounter an error stating 'Too few parameters. Expected 1' when exporting a query to text?

This error may be caused by lingering multi-valued fields or by using an IN clause that refers to another database without realizing it.

Can I upload my Access database directly to Neon CRM?

You should import each .csv file into Neon CRM. However, for a custom import, you might consider uploading the entire Access file for review.

What should I do if I get an error 'Cannot reference a table with a multi-valued field using an IN clause that refers to another database' when using VBA to export?

The error may be due to multi-valued fields or using an IN clause inappropriately. Check your query to ensure you're not referencing another database with an IN clause.
