2003 Problem With Read-Only File Attribute.
Nov 3, 2005
I have a Front-End Access Data Project file (ADE compiled format for distribution) that I purposely have the Read-Only file attribute set to True.
I've been using it this way for about 7 years starting with Access 97 and the current version is 2000.
I am upgrading the app to 2003 now and everything with the conversion is fine except when I set the Read-Only file attribute to True it all of a sudden when starting it no longer connects to the Back-End (sql server) and displays a "form load cancelled" error before hanging.
If I disable the Read-Only attribute, everything is fine again, but I prefere not to do this because that will require me to rework my auto updater.
I use it this way because it prevents bloating of the file and allows for my auto updater to determine new version by using the file modification date.
Any Idea's?

I am currently upgrading to win 2003 servers. When I open an access 2000 database on the server I get a read only warning.
I have check all the permissions to allow the users access, but the warning remains.
I do not have the problem with any other documents on the server.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate a response.

I'm using Access 2000. When I click the File menu to go to a recently used file, the entire path is shown. With my file system, the File drop down widow is about 50 characters too short to show the entire path all the way out to where I keep my database. Is there a way to shut off the viewing the entire path "feature?"

I have a very simple Access database that contains a form where users enter sheduling information...I wish to limit a group of users to be able to read this information only and not modify or add to it.
The tables are in a back end mdb. The rest is in a front end mdb. And the users actually use the mde file when working with the schedule.
What in your opinion is the least complicated method for providing some users with the ability to add/modify and some with read only.
Thank you.

This is what I would like to achieve
Each time a person comes into our building, they use a electronic key. The information is recorded into a text file. I would like to extract information as described next
The date from the line marked D. Date is marked in bold
The time from the line marked T. Time is marked in bold
The key number and Location from the line marked M. Key Number & Location is Marked in Bold
Sample of the text file:
D[ Fri 30/04/04 ]
T[ 08:19 ]
M[ Valid key:130 Ing group, tenancy:SUNCITY, door:Lower Roller Dr, panel:SURF CITY. ]
N[ 0 2 0 0 5 23 1 0 0 0 130 2 ]
D[ Fri 30/04/04 ]
T[ 08:22 ]
M[ Valid key:20 LEAD NGUYANST, tenancy:SUNCITY, shaft:0, panel:SURF CITY. ]
N[ 0 1 0 0 5 16 1 0 0 0 20 2 ]
D[ Fri 30/04/04 ]
T[ 08:23 ]
M[ Valid key:556 Ing Group, tenancy:SUNCITY, door:Lower Roller Dr, panel:SURF CITY. ]
N[ 0 2 0 0 5 23 1 0 0 0 556 2 ]
…..and so on the text goes
I am reasonably familiar with access but I have not had any experience with Text Files . Could someone post a sample db that would give me a starting point. any information would be appreciated.

I am way beyond my skills trying to read these files.
I am trying to read *.pdf files using VBA. I have tried using some code
Code:
Dim AcroApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp
Dim theForm As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
Dim jso As Object
Dim text1, text2 As String
'error occurs here stating"ActiveX component can't create object"
[Code] ....
I have set a reference to Adobe 10 Type Library and Adobe Access 3 Type library. I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader X. I now read them by converting to text file and using FileObject to read the text file and VBA text commands to get the right fields.

Let's say I have a database saved in Folder 1. Is there a way for me to create a read-only copy of that database in Folder 2 so that it can be up-to-date with the changes made in the Folder 1 database? I am running Windows 7.

I have a text file that I am using VBA to read and print 2 pieces of data to another text file.The code works to a point, in some instances it does not appear to find the end of file but captures and writes all the data. Or, after printing 36 lines correctly, it then stops writing.
I have stepped through the code and it appears to be capturing the data up past this issue but for what ever reason it does not print it to my text file.
PHP Code:
Option Compare DatabaseOption Explicit    Public Mode As String    Public FUNDREF As String   Â
Public rst As String Function DAILYAUDITTRAIL()     Close #1    Close #2      Open "C:UsersTEST IN.TXT" For Input As #1   Â
Open "C:UsersTEST OUT.txt" For Output As # 2      Do While Not EOF(1)    Â
Line Input #1, rst     If rst Like "KM56Aasdf*" Then        FUNDFINDER   Â
End If     Loop  End FunctionFunction FUNDFINDER()         Â

I'm currently creating an interface program for a MS Access database. I've only used Access once in the past but used other DB's a handful of times so I didn't have any trouble getting the general program created. My issue arose when I tried to make it so that the users needing to use the program can just copy the .exe and the .mdb files and use it.
The program doesn't require users to share the database but to store their OWN programs information in their OWN database, so basically each needs to have their own database with the exact same design (but different data). The original plan was to just get them to copy over a near empty .mdb with the design set up and have them slowly create their own dataset with it. However, upon copying these files between my computer and others it ends up allowing my interface program to retrieve data from the DB but not write any new entries to it. All security permission on the file itself are set to allow read/write to everyone so I'm not sure what's causing this. Is there any other security settings I should worry about? Everything I could find within access seemed to be set so that it could be used freely so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. - I apologize if there is already a related topic in existence, I am new to these boards and tried to search beforehand for any information on this topic but came up empty handed so decided to start my own topic about this problem.

Was wondering how i can import data from a file to a table in different fields. The data inside the file is described with the number of characters and space's between. The attached file has the data.
For example in the file attached, the first four characters represent a data like 'ticket number' and maybe the third line 6 to 10 charcaters represent 'name of a passenger'.
Now how do i import these data to a table into respective fields in a table.

For weeks I am trying to read an XML file which needs to be processed in an Access database. I can not find the proper way to:
- find a specific node
- iterate from there
The XML file is an international bank file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.008.001.02" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<GrpHdr>
<MsgId>001-2013-09-19-18:12:17</MsgId>
[Code] ....
I started quite simple, just wanted to read to node MsgId. This is the code I use:
Private Sub ReadXML_Click()
Dim aDoc As DOMDocument60
Dim aNode As IXMLDOMNode
Set aDoc = New MSXML2.DOMDocument60
aDoc.async = False
aDoc.Load DLookup("C:Sample.XML")
[Code] ....
Whatever I try: //MsgId or MsgId the results is "No nodes". How to read to XML.
Besides reading one node, the next challenge will be iterating the PmtInf node. There can be 1 in the XML file but also 50.

All..
I have an access 2003 application I have front end and back end separately. When I click "Make MDE File" from tools menu, nothing happens.
When checked the Windows Task manager(Windows 2000), CPU usage is 100% and MS ACCESS is not responding. There are no messages.
Anyone experienced this problem ?
Thanks

Hi, I have an xml which fields of text and some of numbers.
When I do: File --> Get External Data --> Import; I'm able to import the file.
The problem is that not all the data is entered in the fields. The colums containing the text are excluded.
While importing, I did choose the option "Structure and Data", so it should work.
Any suggestions on to why it is doing that?
Thanks.

I created a Workgroup file (Project.mdw), assigned different Permissions to different Groups, and put different Users in appropriate Groups.
The above setup is working fine and just as required. But, if I remove or rename the Workgroup file, MS Access does not look for it, creates in its own Workgroup file and starts just as usual - without asking for the Password, or caring about the Permissions and/or restrictions set.
How can I make the database file bound to the MDW file, so that it does not open without it.

I have a dbf file that I need to somehow get the table data out of, and into access, excel, or some other usable format. I searches the MS Knowledge Base and read several articles on updating the Jet 4.0 drivers (up to date) and updating Foxpro ODBC drivers, etc. I also searched these forums, and I have yet to find any solution that works.
I think this dbf file might be Foxpro, but I'm not sure. I don't know anything about Foxpro. I was getting an error message "unexpected error from external database driver (8961)", until I read an MS article stating that I should change the name of the Borland folder to BorlandOld and try re-importing. Now Access 2003 just says: "external table not in the specified format".
