pyaccesskit.objects¶

pyaccesskit.objects ¶

Generic management of Access objects and SaveAsText/LoadFromText text I/O (db.objects).

AccessObjects ¶

AccessObjects(session: Session)

Forms, reports, macros and modules as Access sees them, including raw text import/export.

Text is exchanged as str with LF line endings and stored on disk as UTF-8; PyAccessKit converts to and from the encodings Access requires (UTF-16 for forms/reports/queries/macros, ANSI for VBA modules).

names ¶

names(kind: ObjectKind | str) -> list[str]

Names of all objects of kind (read through DAO where possible).

export_text ¶

export_text(kind: ObjectKind | str, name: str) -> str

SaveAsText an object.

import_text ¶

import_text(
    kind: ObjectKind | str,
    name: str,
    text: str,
    *,
    replace: bool = False,
) -> None

LoadFromText an object (Access replaces an existing object only when replace=True).

save_text ¶

save_text(
    kind: ObjectKind | str,
    name: str,
    path: str | PathLike[str],
) -> Path

Export an object to a UTF-8 text file; returns the path.

load_text ¶

load_text(
    kind: ObjectKind | str,
    name: str,
    path: str | PathLike[str],
    *,
    replace: bool = False,
) -> None

Import an object from a UTF-8 text file.

delete(kind: ObjectKind | str, name: str) -> None

Delete a form, report, macro or module.
