Hi!
I have constructed a database in Aceess 2002 that four persons or more are going to work with. The users have there own computers in the same network. And they are going to work in the database at the same time the database is placed on a shared drive in the network. They must have the possibility to work in the same bookingformular.
Is there something that I have to think about so that everything works allright? I mean in the multiuser environment.
I had a lot of problems when rhe same people worked with an Access 97 database, But I hope that Access 2002 is better for multiusers. Is that correct?
Has anyone deployed or is anyone using an access database in a shared drive environment over a network? If so, how is the databases performance and what kind of problems/headaches do you encounter in this environment? Thanks.
I am having some major problems so i thought i would ask you guys out there for some help because i am starting to bang my head against a brick wall.
I have a simple database, well i have 3 but the problem is only occuring on 1. each of these databases sit in a shared folder on the company network. I am trying to allow multiple users access this database but every time a second user tries to open the database they are unable to get access and receive this message
The table 'MSysAccessObjects' is already open exclusively by another user
However i have set the default open mode to be shared.
can anyone help as i really need this database to open in shared mode.
hi, am trying to create an application for a company that has a small call-center (strength 20). the db is in the central server and each caller sits with frontend on their computer. the central DB is shared on the network which these 20 PCs are accessing.
The frontend: 1 Form only which is based on a query that displays records. Form Lock property: Edited Records Query Property: Edited Records
As the telecaller starts calling the customer looking at the records, they are not able to edit certain records as the respective record is locked by MS-Access when am sure that no other telecaller has opened the particular record.
I not a big time DB person so please be gentle. I am a computer technician at a school district and need some help. We use a program called Aeries made by Eagle Software for out attendance and grading. It uses an interface that runs through Microsoft Access. There are two version of this software. One is the SQL version and the other just uses an Access DB on a server. We have the Access DB version running Access 2003. It was explained and accepted in the beginning that we didn’t really need the SQL version because of our district size which is some where around 1500 students. Our district consists of 6 school sites that are all connected with a fiber optic backbone running at 200mb with a minimum of 100mb to each desktop. We have a DB for each site running on 1 very beefy server in a central location. I’ve run my problem by the software maker and don’t feel like I’m getting much help. The problem I am having is slowness during login. When the first user of the day attempts to login the program is fast, about 10 seconds from “ENTER” to the main menu. As soon as that 1st user clicks one of the menu buttons anyone else who attempts to login to that database after that experiences at least 30 seconds from “ENTER” to the main menu. I’ve watched what files are accessed and when. I see that when the 1st user logs in, the systemxp.mdw file is accessed and a systemxp.ldb file is created. Then when the user clicks a button on the main menu, the sch05xxx.mdb is accessed and a sch05xxx.ldb file is created. The sch05xxx.mdb file is the main database file for any particular site. The “xxx” would be the site number. As soon as that file is accessed or that lock file is created the user will experience the long login times and sometimes as long as 4 minutes. I don’t believe this is a hardware problem. During the same time that users are slow I have made a copy of one of the databases onto the same HDD on the same server and as long as I’m the 1st person to open it, it will fly. The 2nd person is slow just like the rest. I also don’t think it’s a permission issue, at least not in the domain. I’ve run all these test logged in as myself and have Domain Admin rights to everything. I believe this is a “split database” with the tables on the server and the forms, and queries on the users computer. I read an article here, http://www.microsoft.com/office/previous/xp/columns/column05.asp called “Why is Access 2000 slow for more than one user?” Has anyone else had this problem or have a solution? If I’ve missed something and you need more info please let me know.Thank you for your time and I appreciate any responsesJohn
We are trying to cut down the # of spreadsheets we have and took a purchase tracking spreadsheet and turned it into access db (2010).
We have 3 sites, and users across network would be 1-2 at max might be in db at same time either recording a purchase, or updating a record on received items.
Can this cause corruption? Is there a way to set users up so it won't?
I know in older versions of Access there were shares that could be set up.
I've always setup Front Ends and Back Ends so that a copy of the Front End is distributed to each Desktop.
I've now joined a new company (been here 6 months now) and the way things are done here is that one copy of the FE sits on a share and users open it from that location. This file contains no local tables and all data is connected to either Access or Oracle databases using ADO. The FE has built been utilizing User Defined Types to read all data in to memory.
Hi guys, i read about this before but it did not work.
i am trying to hide the access environment but i couldnt. i read in this forum that if i have a bmp with then same name than the db, the picture would replace the access environment. I have done this but the only thing that i achieved was to see the picter before access env. comes and then it desapears and the access env. shows up.
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me here.
I have a database created in Access .MDB. It operates allright on my machine. However, since this database is done for my client, i have a problem i need to ask for help.
My client doesn't have microsoft office software installed on their machine. So when i passed the database onto them, they somehow can only run it in the run-time environment. Don't ask, I'm not sure about this at all. Anyway, They came back to me saying that they have got a run-time error message in the middle of running the database.
On my end, it's hard for me to debug since it works fine here. I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me how i could have this database run in the run-time environment as my clients do. This way, i could debug the problem.
Is it possible for me to run my access database in run-time environment? how do i do that?
I am using MS Access 2000 in a Windows Terminal Server 2003 Environment and the performance is incredibly slower than running the same job on a Stand Alone CPU with Access 2003.
Any idea? Access 2000 is running slower on a TServer? May the Access version difference explain the difference?
I have an Access DB that I created in Access XP. It works perfectly when used in Access XP. When used in an Access 2003 environment some of the functions don't work anymore. I have users who use Office XP and users who use Office 2003. Does anybody know how to make this DB work in Access 2003 without having to do wholesale code changes?
I have already changed the security to "Low" to bypass the security feature built in in Jet 4.0 but it didn't help. I might have to uninstall Windows XP SP2 to make it work because I know that the application works in an Office 2003 environment with Windows XP SP1 only. But I'm trying to avoid having to uninstall XP SP2 because it's a pain. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
My workstation environment is as follows:
OS: Windows XP SP2 Office: Office 2003 SP1 Jet: 4.0
I have an Access db that is going to be shared by two different users. One user has Access 2003 and the other has Access 2002. Will there be any problems using this setup if both the users are accessing the MDB file at the same time?
Having a problem here after installing 2007. All my previously created databases work fine in 2007 (after clicking the enable, which is a pain,but don't know any other way) When I return to 2002 and try to open the databases I get different errors all something like this on....... "The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Object or class does not support the set of events. Whats up here?????I have found a site here...http://allenbrowne.com/bug-17.htmlMentions this problem,but refers to Vista..... Does the same apply to XP? And which is the best fix?
I need to develop an application that works in 2002. I tried to take a 2002 mdb, convert in 2002 to 2000 and try it on my machine at home. It didn't work and I couldn't find the missing reference. I then took an mdb that was originally a 2000 format, converted it to 2002 and it worked fine. So what I want to do is develop the app in 2000 and just convert it over to 2002. This allows me to work on it from home which is pretty important since my deadline is creeping closer. Am I ok doing this or am I courting disaster? Or is there another way of doing this?
I'm looking to purchase Access 2002 because that is the version we use at work. The problem is, when I search the net for deals, it is more economical to purchase Office XP 2003 OEM instead of Access 2002.
Is Office XP - version 2002 unless it says Office XP 2003?
Or should I just purchase Office XP 2003 and just convert before I take my database to work? I hear the difference between 2002 and 2003 is mostly the VB coding functionality.
BTW I am looking at the following deal..Hope its not a scam http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=991291
I have an application which I did in Access 2003 and it uses "Microsoft Access 11.0 Object Library" and also "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library".
I have converted it to 2002 format from database utilities where it says (2002-2003).
Now when this application is opened in Access 2002 the refrences are "Microsoft Access 10.0 Object Library" and "Microsoft Outlook 10.0 Object Library", now the code starts throwing various errors.
Now what is the way out to avoid these errors? Should I copy the 11.0 libraries and add those in refrences on the machines where access 2002 is available.
I did some initial searching but I am not sure what to search for. I have inherited an access application for maintenance. I am a C# developer by trade so developing code and ui inside the db is kind of weird to me not slamming it, just a little confused with the paradigm. Anyway, I had successfully added functionality to the code base as the per requirements. I made the changes using 2003. No database conversion dialog ever showed so I figured everything was cool. However the client is using 2002 and when they launch it the MDI parent shows the correct title but the form that is opened by default never shows up.
I have no problems creating an MDE file from a newly created database but the system hangs when I try to do the same with a former Access 2000 database that I converted.
My Access program crashes frequently. I tried the 'Repair Office' function, but that has made no difference. On checking, I see that it's Access 2002, not 2003. Can I still get Access 2003? Should I upgrade to that? I don't want to buy the new Office 2007 suite.
I am creating an access database and I want to know the following limitations;
1. Maximum number of users who can log into the database at a time
2. Maximum size of the database. Here I understand that it is 2GB, but I am confused as to whether it is for .MDB file or for each table in the database.
I have an existing database using access 2002 which has been split. In the part containing the data (back end I think its called) there are 3 existing tables which are clearly linked from the front end (forms queries etc.). If I now try to add another table in the back end it is not shown in the list when trying to create a link from the front end.
I'm running Access 2002 at work and trying to import a form that was created in Acrobat 7.0 and saved as a xml file. The structure and data option is selected, yet only the structure imports, no data.
In Access 2003 (which is what I have at home) I can get both structure and data. Does anyone know away around this in trying to import the file into Access 2002 or why I might be having that problem with one version and not the other?
I am trying to build a database for my share trading and am having trouble doing some calculations in a Report.
In the Detail section of the Report I do this calculation: =IIf([LVR]="0","0",((([Units]-([Margin Amount]/[Unit Price (o)]))*[Close Price (c)])/(1-[LVR]))+(([Margin Amount]/[Unit Price (o)])*([Close Price (c)]-[Unit Price (o)])/(1-[LVR])))
This calc is done on all my open trades and it returns the answer i want which looks like:
Margin Calculations
Open Trades
ASXCodeCurrent ValueMargin Available
FLT$5,500.00$18,333.33
SGN$3,700.00$3,200.00
AXN$13,200.00$33,000.00
CPU$9,250.00$17,821.67
AUN$15,600.000
Total Margin Available:$5.00
Inthe report footer i attempt to sum the answers this calculation returns using the Expresion: =Sum([Margin]) to get Total Margin Available.
Margin is the name of the field that contains the above calculation and when I try to veiw the report it prompts me to enter a parameter for Margin? I would have thought no parameter is required as all I am asking it to do is sum the numbers the calculation is churning out, however if i enter a value ie 1 Total Margin Available totals the number of records and multiplies it by the value i entered as you can see in the above example ($5.00).
