The following is from another post on this topic somewhere on this board:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using VB to read a past performance file is not all that hard to do. Here's a code snippet that I've used with VB6 with great success for years.
Something very similar should work as VBA code inside of Access 97 or Access 2000.
Create a standard EXE VB project and add a command button to your form.
In the declarations portion of your VB Project, paste in the following code:
Dim FieldVal (1435)
Public FILE as String
And then place this bit of code in the click event procedure behind the command button:
FILE = InputBox("Enter File Name:")
If Not FILE = "" Then
call ReadAFile(FILE)
end if
And then create a subroutine named ReadAFile. Here's the code for that; you can just copy and paste it in:
Private Sub ReadAFile(FILE)
Err.Clear
On Error Goto handler:
Open FILE for input as #1
Do While Not EOF(1)
'Read A Single Horse:
For j = 1 To 1435
Input #1, fileField
FieldVal(j) = fileField
Next j
'Done With Single Horse, now do something interesting.
Loop
handler:
If Not Err.Number = 0 then
MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error"
Err.Clear
-------------------------------------------------------
Just pull out the horse name and date from the array and your done.
