Thank you Phillipp, so nice to get good content from you. I don't know why I look anywhere else. Much appreciated.

I can't understand how you have only 4k subscribers. For me it's the BEST VBA channel.

Thanks Phillipp - These are really great for an old guy trying to pick this up again!!! Danke!!

Got right to the end but doesn’t run the import bit just does the pop up message how do you do the final link to the import button? To make the import actually import and do the updates. Am I just missing something?

Thank you for clean expalantion. You give explanation of ties between codes and it helps us understand clearly

[bumpersmith]

You have a great approach to the way you explain a topic and your topics as far as I know are unique and show the workings of VBA that I did not already consider. Thank you and I look forward to future videos from you.

I'd really like a Video to tie this series together. Essentially a tutorial on using the dialogue box to execute an Update/Append from a CSV file

[felipescherer]

Clear and simple explanations.
Very usefull also. Thanks a lot for sharing!

[PJTarver]

Genial! Klar und leicht zu verstehen. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Thanks Phillipp. Very clear and concise and explained very well. How about a video tutorial on how to use a file dialog box to save a file?

[mlaffey]

Thanks for video, i got the file dialog working.

Just like Paul Knights comment; You forgot to mention 2 things: 1) how to connect the Import file to a button, and 2) how to change the import procedure to the actual import, not just showing the text box. Otherwise, excellent!

Thanks Phil, that was awesome :)
would love to see more of your videos

[johnclark]

Another excellent video Philip. I shared this on an Access forum today for someone who was asking how to do something exactly like this.
Have you considered doing one on text parsing? Maybe with the use of Regular Expressions?

[MrMeLaX]

Where is a previous video? Didn't found it...

[SilkeJuppenlatz]

Awesome, thank you.
I'm trying to build a hobby database with multiple views of a model figurine, but didn't want to type in every single image path.
Hoping I can get this to drop the value into a table, so I can use that table to call the images and display them on a form. :)
