I have developed an application and packed it into a runtime version.
However, in the runtime version the shortcut menus do not work. The reason why I want the user to have that possibility is that the application has two hyperlink fields and it is much easier for the users to be able to browse to the documents instead of typing each link with all the errors that might give as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have set up a secured database using access 2003 which I want to roll out to users who will only have access runtime installed on their pc's.
The problem is there are some additional options that I want to add to a new menu (export, change password etc) that I need them to be able to view in runtime - when I set up a new menu in access 2003, it doesn't seem to be visible on anybody else's PC when they are logged into the database regardless of whether they have full access or runtime.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks
Hi, I have hidden all the menus and added one of my own custom menus to a DB that I was creating. That DB has been completed. Now when I open a blank DB to commence again, I have the same hidden menues and my one custom menu. Is there away in Access 2003 that I can replace the template, for example, MS Excel and Word have .dot and personal.xls. Is there an easy way to bring them all back. I checked in startup for a restore defaults, however this does not work. Any ideas. Garry

Hi,
My database consists of some personal data and a photo of each person.
I am trying to include these photos when I browse the database via ADP.
I have found instructions how to do so at Microsoft website (article ID: 285820)
Link for it: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=285820
The problem is I cannot make it !!!!!!!!
Where exactly should I paste the VBscript in the page code to execute displaying of the photos???????
I am happy to send you the head portion of my page code if anybody knows where to paste it.....
Please help,

Hi everyone! Well, I goofed... I was trying to figure out how cause access to launch a switchboard I made and NOT launch the regular shortcut bars or database window. Well, fortunately the help file told me I could change that in tools...startup options...
I found it, and it worked great, except I can't get back into my regular shortcut menu features, including the startup options themselves to reverse it. I did figure out I could reclaim the database window by pushing f11, but sadly have been unable to figure out how to get to my shortcut menus and back into startup options. Anyone know how I can get back in?
Next time I'll have to make a copy before doing that...
We are considering rolling out a number of access reports to users within our organisation who currently do not have access installed, nor do we want them to. Run time seems the obvious route.
I see the runtime module is included in Access 2003 but I cant see if you have to install Access on the users PC in a "Runtime mode only" way or if the Developer tools have to be purchased to get the package wizard so you can send the package out with run time.
Basically we want users to be able to access the database from the server but we do not want them to have the ability to do any thing else in access . i know read only rights will enable that to be done in the particular database but we don't want them building their own db's and the bothering IT when they come across something difficult....
Thanks
Hello,
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard.
But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007.
I can't use the Package Wizard.
How can I do to solve this?
Thanks.
Hi,
I am releasing a Runtime Access 2003 application.
Am using the standard files ACCESSRT.MSI and ACCESSRT.CAB to install Runtime.
Does anybody know a QUICK way of supressing the annoying security messages which pop up, when the application starts under this configuration?
I don't want to write any fancy install wizards or scripts, just need a basic runtime install like the above method, but with "Low" Macro security set.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,
I am currently trying to package and deploy my database as a runtime version, but am getting runtime errors when I open the installed database and I have no idea where to start with what the problems are! There does not seem to be much info that I can find on the web to help me. I am using DAO, Excel, and Word object references.I noticed on my main switchboard when I removed the more complicated code then there was no error.If anyone has any pointers or are able to point me in the right direction that would be muchly appreciated.

I have a small database application which is split in fe and be. Its running fine and i have been making changes to the front end regularly and replacing the file on server successfully with no problems, But today i edited some forms and reports and afterwards i ran it on a client in access runtime produced the on click event error ( which is on log in form which is a startup form ). Its working fine in full version of access even on the server but couldn't log in because the clicking on login button display the error. See attached image.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAre there any issues with converting an older 97 database to 2003? Is it a straight conversion, or will there be differences that affect the way the database will run if converted? I've read somewhere that it is possible to use the newer version to open the database w/o converting it. It seems silly to have to install 97 on a new computer in order to view the db.

Does A03 have a cheap/free stripped version out there?
I gotta install my DB on some more PCs in the office and have run out of licenses on my office disk for access.
Goodmorning,
Got a problem here with Access 2003: got 36 categories (example: volume from 0-0.1=category 1 vol from 0.1-0.2=category 2 etc) and a whole bunch of records (in a table) stating volume per record (0.111, 0.23456 etc). For each record I need to know which category it is. Now in order to prevent me from writing 36 update queries for each category (if vol>0 and <0.1 then category = 1 etc) there must b a smarter/faster way to do this. What is it?
Thx,

I am getting the following error when Synchronizing Now for Replicated database. The total database size is only 22 megs (contains reports and forms). This just started happening recently, otherwise it was fine before. My machine is running WinXP Pro SP2 (with latest service pacs) on an AMD DualCore 3800 with 1gig RAM. Once you hit the OK it continues and competes successfully (at least it look OK). Any ideas what this could be or to eliminate it popping up? I run the database with minimum of programs at the same time.
Thanks
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.

Hi All,
We're currently rolling out 2003 Runtime and I've had a few users requesting multiple open seesions of the same database. I thought sure no problem, and then found that it doesn't look like it's possible with Runtime.
Can anyone confirm whether there is a way around this?
It's just that they all had full version of 97 before and now were limiting them all to Runtime! :D
Any suggestions as always much appreciated.

I remember there is shortcut keys for input field name when creating a queries. For example, when we try to create a query to combine field [firstname] and field [lastname] from customer table and we use: fullname:[firstname]+" "+[lastname]; instead of input this expression {fullname:[firstname]+" "+[lastname]} key by key, is there shortcut key that can input [firstname] into expression?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
After searching through the "search" field, I realize lots of us are having problems with the menu's in access 2007.
After converting my 2003 DB to 2007, my menus are still there, but displayes as Add-ins instead of as the menu bar. I can't find any options to change during the conversion.
I have tried importing my Logon window with the options "menus and icons" clicked, but this didn't change anything.
If I open the DB in 2003 Format, then go to the options in Access 2007 I can choose the menubar, but if I convert to 2007, the menubar is only available as add-ins. Is there any way round this?
Appreciate any help - it is so time consuming trying to figure this out - and I seem to go round in circles, ticking options on and off... perhaps some dear soul has already found the answer!
I started access today and all my icons and menus are gone from the interface. I am forced to right click on all my queries and tables to perform any action. All I have at the top of my window is the usual "Microsoft Access" caption. Absolutely nothing else. Other than that, Access is fully functional provided I can use the right click commands. Has anyone encountered this? Help!

Hi.
Will a database created in Win Xp using Access 2003 work on machine running Win 2000 Pro and Access 2000?
Thanx
Very General Question
What version of Access do you use?
And if you use Access 97, why do you choose to use that over that of Access 2000 or higher?
I am curious to find out the reasons.
As for me, I use Access 2003 all around.
how do i go about this
i'm unable to do any upgrade of this version of access on my machine running windows XP, it is only possible on a machine running windows 2000.
what do i need to do to be able to tweak reports and forms and stuff.
Thanks
Happy thanksgivings
Hello All
I have a database which is use at busy times to run the delivery side of our Floristry business. The orders are entered,assigned to a delivery area, address labels printed. When it comes to delivery day orders are selected from the list ticked off then printed a make a list for the driver.
It was built using Access 97 when it first came out. Since then the software was upgraded to Access 2000 many mods have been made each year to improve the performance and the number of things it can do. It now has about 15 tables and a lot of queries.
Not being an expert with Access a lot of the design has been on a trial and error basis. Put it another way the main form has many hidden fields to make things work behind the scenes. But it does most of what I want it to.
I have now go to the point where the main query is saying that I can't add any more features because I have to many fields in it.
So the time has come to look at re building it for a number of reasons.
1. It is a stand alone database on one Pc.......... I would like to have it on a network to 3 or 4 Pc's around the shop.
2. Some of it needs to be redesigned to take out my ( it might not be the way a designer would it but it does work) type bits.
3 I would like to be able to use the system for all orders received on a day to day basis. So it will need to be used by other people.
My question today is
Should I be looking to rebuilt it using Access 2003 + the extra software so that i can run it on more than one PC.
Or would it be better to wait few months till Acess 2007 comes out and start from scratch.
thanks
Kevin.
Here is a question.
I go to the menu bar, Help->About MS Access
It's shown Microsoft Access 2002 SP3
This is MS Access 2002 Version, right.
But, at the top it is shown (Access 2000 file format)
Why do I use 2000 file format in Access 2002 version?
