ACS 2013 5-year data available in MS Access 2007

JamiRae over 9 years ago

Hi all,

I will be importing the 5year estimate summary files for Oregon, Arizona, and Washington D.C. into an Access database (2007 version). I've set up a macro to run the import routine so it wouldn't be too difficult to do additional states. The files are large so, as you can imagine, it actually takes multiple Access files to import them all. Ideally these should be used on a SQL server, though I currently don't have access to SQL so this is my method for now.

If anyone would like the Access files for any state, let me know and I can import it for you or send you documentation on how to do it for yourself. I will need to test my import routine when the data are released on Thursday so I don't want to give out the documentation files until I know this works properly. I did this for the 2012 5year estimates, so I know it works, but I've had to make adjustments due to changes in the Sequence Files so I want to make sure I got the adjustments correct before I distribute it.

Here is revised Excel code that puts zeroes in the first row if they are blank. Also, here is the code to link the Excel templates to Access. You can change to import by changing acLink to acImport in the code. You will probably need to create several databases because of the size issue. Each database would then load files from a separate folder containing a portion of the total files to load (say Seq1 through Seq30, etc). Please leave the last letter of the folder either "e" or "m" though, because this used in the code to determine which tab to load. I will try to improve all of this when time permits, but I would welcome any help or advice from VBA gurus.
