Recently Access has started to suddenly close. Usually when I have been developing although I do not appreas to have lost anything as I Save, Save, Save all the time. Last week I had a report that a live access 2000 is doing the same thing. Users are in the middle of entering data and suddenly the database is gone, with no messages. They can re-open the database and continue.
Anyone else experiencing this problem with Access 2000?
I am opening and closing a series of Excel 2000 Workbooks using Access 2000 VBA and want this sequence to be able to complete without any human intervention.
However, there are 2 instances when this stops and waits for a human option to be selected:
1. When the spreadsheet is password protected
2. When the spreadsheet has automatic links I get the message:
"The Workbook you opened contains automatic links to information in another workbook. Do you want to update this workbook with changes made to the other workbook?"
How can I code it so that in situation 1 it skips this file and in situation 2 it automatically defaults to do not update?
Any help most appreciated.

Hi
I have a database that currently has security in place so that users input their own usernames and passwords to access the database. The users have recently been added to a windows 2000 server and I want to be able to use their windows 2000 server logon credentials to provide them with automatic access to the database. Is there anyone out there who knows how to set this up? It is a rather urgent request if you could get back to me either on this forum or via email

many thanks

If I have a report in MS Access 2000 generated based on the criteria selected of a project with work order "9999" with the labor costs, materials costs and the Totals of each crew1, crew2,... and I would like to have those expenditures populated in corresponding cel in Excel for each crew, HOW would I do it?
To think it out loud, could I create a button on a form, so when I select the criteria for the work order, and when I click the button, it should refresh/update the Exel file with the new data...?? How do I write VBA code for that...?
Please help...Thank you so much....
What would cause Access to suddenly close without warning while busy with a query?
No error messages, nothing! The query is a fairly big one that normally takes about 6 minutes to run, but has had no problem with it for a number of years. A new drive used for back-up purposes was recently fitted to my PC which now has 3 internal hard drives.
Could this problem be caused by a bad memory handling configuration? The original setup that worked before may have been changed when the new drive was installed. The XP Page File size for example may have been changed.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance..

Hi everybody,
I have recently been doing a conversion for my boss for a access 2000 database (both front and backend) to a MSSQL backend.
I finished the conversion today (as quite a lot of the code / queries ran slow due to access running the queries locally rather than on the server). And tested it on my and my boss's machine with no problems so he gave the go ahead to update everybody to our new mssql 2000 backend with the modified frontend.
This is when the problems started; We had two different sets of forms for accessing one of our databases systems - the log system, one is the original dynaset based form, and the other is a newer set which uses snapshot views and preforms updates via queries. Nobody uses the old dyanset system apart from my boss and one of the administrative team as they have things on that window which they need to see. About 30 minutes into the release of the new database the system frooze up on my bosses computer and nobody could create a new log (the server was timing out). I assumed this had something to do with the old dynaset's creating locks on the table.
I offlined the database and kicked everybody out of the front end, turned it on again and tied again, this time banning everybody from the dynaset system. Within 10 minutes another computer frooze up, again with a timeout on the insert query. I discovered that after you had added a new log to the database it would timeout on all subquent additions (something it hadn't done during testing) . Further investigatiion showed it was the snapshot list window causing the error, so coded the add log window to close the list before preforming the insert query and then reopen it afterwards. This allowed my machine to make multible additions without flaw. So I released a new client to everybody. 15 minutes later it was timing out again, but this time there you could not even make one new record.
I checked for locks on the table though the server management table and couldn't find any for the Log table. I have restarted the SQL server box and with no avil. So I reverted our backend to the access mdb file and told people to use the old client.
I am at a complete lose to why this is happening, if anybody has had any expericences like this or knows the cause please tell me.
Some information on the database in question.
It was made as an access 2 database all intergrated into one file, then it was seperated into two files (frontend and backend). Upgraded to Access 97, then to 2000 before this final update to MSSQL 2000.
The log system has two main tables. The first is the log title / info table which links (one to many) to a log entry table. This problem only occurs on the main log table and does not appear to be reoccurring anywhere else within the database. The main log table has just under 18,000 rows in it.
Thank you in advance for any help,
Dom

Is it possible to have the master datebase in SQL Server, the replica in Access format and still can sychronize them?
Thank you in advance.
This application has worked fine in the past, but now I find it stops cold saying a particular linked table is read-only. I've looked around and all I can find in the various forums is how to MAKE a table read-only. Reversing that process seems very difficult.
The application is a copy of another that now exhibits the same problem. Each uses a different data mdb - part of the development I'm doing involves changing a different table. I'm developing changes to the application in this separate copy.
I can't tell if other tables would have this problem - the table in question is the very first used (initialization routine) and I can't get past it without deactivating a bunch of code.
Hello,
I have an Access database that for some reason just converted to "read-only". I used to be able to open the database and do whatever, now it says it is read only. I have checked the permissions for both the database itself and the folder it is in and they both do not have "read-only" selected. What I really don't understand is if I use my application that uses the database (written in ColdFusion) I get the error - must use an updateable query. BUT if I continue to hit refresh, then it'll work! So it's like it works sometimes, but not all the time - as if it's switching back and forth between read-only and not read-only. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!!
Has anyone seem the problem when you close an access database and you think it is close but if you open the task manager you will see MSACCESS.EXE still running. Why ????

Is there a way to close access from a form?
I know you can close the database, but is there also a way to close the entire programs with a button on a form?
Thx in advance,

I have recently done a fresh install of access 97 to our 2003 server. I load up an access app, it brings up a form with a button...I clidk the button, and it closes the app with no errors, and leaves the ldb file in tact. Checking the event viewer, I get this message:
Faulting application msaccess.exe, version 8.0.0.5903, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00202878.
It appears to be on the buttons that open forms / reports, but not those that run queries. Any ideas?
where do I add a closing string into this code and what do I write? The server said the database is not closing the access database correctly and i don't know what is wrong.

I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
How do I close a .pdf file using Access code? There has got to be some simple line of code that will do this.
I know the location of the .pdf. There has to be something like:
CloseFile(filePath.pdf)
I'm using Access 2000 and every time I shut down my database, it takes ages (the screen locks up) and it creates a duplicate copy of the database.
I seem to recall it saying, on a few occasions, that it was something to do with a "Read Only" file;
I am working on a massave aplication that has been running in Access 2000, but recently several of the file sharing users have installed Access 2003 because of the limited availability of Access 2000. All the users are using the same file off the server.
The problem we are having is that when we reference a subform in the "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName]![FeildName]" Access 2003 does not recognize it and returns an error. I have found that if I will modify it to "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName].[Form]![FeildName]" it is recognized in both 2000 and 2003.
To try and change every instance of a subform reference will take forever and I am garuteed to overlook something. We reference subforms all over our program, missing any one of them would be a disaster. Before I went to the tedious task of looking through everything I just wanted to throw the situation out there and see if any of you had any great ideas on how to get it fixed efficiently. I would apreciate any ideas.
Hello.
I have a fairly complex database with a lot of charts, reports, forms etc.
My problem is that whenever someone chooses to maximize a Pivotchart, a report preview or other things, they usually click the big X button in the top right hand corner and close Access entirely. They don't think to click the smaller x button right below it.
This is frustrating when they just want to go back to the switchboard to performs some other task. They have to restart the database, log in...etc.
I know you can prevent forms and whatnot from being maximized, but I do want them to have that feature for a number of reasons... especially with my Pivotcharts. They are much clearer when expanded to full-size.
Is there a solution to this problem, or do my users just have to be more careful?
Thanks in advance
Greeting,
- i have a form, that has a List Box coming from a table ,,
This list box when you click on it, it shows that field in the main form
- and i have a front end and a backend to this database,
- When i add a new entry in my main form, it shows in the List Box just fine, but when i click on that list box, it doesn't show the entry on anyone else on the network - works ok locally
here is an eg: my main table has firstName, LastName, PhoneNumber, Address
Form : main form has firstName, LastName, PhoneNumber, Address
List Box inside my Form has: First Name
so i when i click on the firstName in my list box, it will show me the contact person in my main form
as i mentioned i have couple of people has the database open (split Database) anyone on the network, could see the update on the list box , but when they click on the new created name doesn't show in the main form, unless you close access, and reopen it again
i hope i was clear expaling,
any idea on how to have the List Box update itself without closing and opening Ms Access ??
thanks in advance
server administrators have expressed concern about my website that it is having a negative impact on the server.
He said this typically occurs when a website has a memory leak (where it obtains server resources and doesn't release them) or is opening database connections and not closing them until the point where no more are available.
I'm using asp.net to control Access and open the connections.
I don't know why it isn't closing them? the website is:
pedalcar.com
Any thoughts of what the problem is and what the statement I need to close the connections?
I have a Access 2010 DB. The mainform have a subform with one table alone.
I have a button who close Access when the user are finish on the mainform. Still I have the upper right corner X-button who also closing the app.
My problem is that when the user use the X-button then a dialog box appear and ask for saving the changes for the table in the subform on the main form. The user must then do the choise 'yes' , 'no' , 'Cancel'.
There is no need for this dialog box, (I take care if it's necessary earlier) but I can't get rid of it.
I upgraded a 2000 db to 2003 recently. When I ran the function below it gave me an error on the line in green. Any thoughts? Thanks.
