Access 2007, Visual.Net, ???

Apr 3, 2008

I'M NEW TO DATABASE PROGRAMMING AND HAVE LIMITED PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE. SIMPLE EXPLANATIONS AND TERMINOLOGY ONLY PLEASE

I've been tasked with producing two database systems at work.

1) A job ledger (currently excel)
2) A stock condition survey database

Question

For future proofing:

* what coding should I be investigating (I expected to use Visual Basic, I understand this has now given way to Visual.NET?)
* Should be upgrading to Access 2007?
* Where the best place for sample databases of this kind?
* What's an SLQ system? Should I be using this instead?

All help appreciated

How To Open Access 2007 From Visual Basic Program

Nov 22, 2014

I have a fully operational Visual Basic program that uses MS Office XP and it's related MS Access. Because of security concerns, I recently upgraded to MS Office 2007 and MS Access 2007. I can open MS Access 2007 using the shortcut on the desktop and run any of the database queries. When I try to run the Visual Basic program (called prjPathfinder) and open Access 2007, it says "Error 5: The type initializer for prjPathfinder.Upgrade Support threw an exception". It then shows the first form in prjPathfinder but does not open Access 2007. What am I missing?

Access And Visual Fox Pro

Mar 17, 2007

I got a new job (another one, actually) and though it has absolutely nothing to do with databases, or computer work for that matter, I told my boss that I like building database apps with Access. He sparked up and said that he has a program in Visual Fox Pro, an application that's "more powerful" than access, but someone came in way back when and wrote a "program" that did some calculations to the existing DB, but the PC is dying and when it does, will take the addition with it. He said that he'd be interested in me looking into it and hopefully being able to replicate the work the prior person had done.

Has anyone worked with VFP and worked in Access with it? It doesn't seem very flexible at all and it's not very intuitive. I'm not impresses with it at all, but I have an opportunity here with my boss and would like to "get her done" so to speak.

Any help or links to good VFP tutorial sites would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Access To Visual Basic

Oct 12, 2005

Greetings to all the experts out there,

Here is something I wonder if it has already existed or been asked before, a program or an add-in feature that can compile an Access database (including forms, reports, tables...) to a stand-alone .exe application, just like Visual Basic does. The reason why I think it's doable is because in Access, we use VB codes anyway and it wouldn't need to be rocket-science for Access to do something like that or this would be an improvement for future versions.

There are plenty of advantages of going from an Access form to a stand-alone app, i.e. we wouldn't need codes to hide background and menu or status bar; we wouldn't need to disable mouse-scroll or prevent users to go back and accidentally delete past records; or we wouldn't need to worry about users seeing your terrific coding techniques and on and on.....Agree that all these can be done within Access but imagine how much time it'd save you from not doing all these things.

Thank you all in advance.

Access 2007 Crashes On Excel 2007 Import

Mar 21, 2008

On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:

1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce
2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format.
3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ...
4) Choose OK

Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.

Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.

Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help:
"ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."

Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.

I have turned off DEP.

How can I get MS Access 2007 to import Excel?

Thanks

Ken

Using Access Query In Visual Basic?

Sep 18, 2006

I have an access Query(named newSerial) :
SELECT TOP 1 (Productbase.Serialnumber+1) AS Expr1 FROM ProductBase
ORDER BY (Productbase.Serialnumber+1) DESC;

I want to access this new value. Its not a key since an autonumber may be any number. When I create a new product. How do I get this value inside a form?
It works fine when clicking on it. But if I use an unbound box I get 1 as result and not like 76067 which it should be. If I click the query in access it works fine and show 76067.
I tried:
outbox=Expr1
' gives null
'or
outbox=[newserial].[Expr1]
' which gives "Access cant find the field "|" refered to you in your expression"

What should I write? Whats the correct expression?

Access 2007 Runtime Not Visible In Access 2007

Nov 26, 2007

I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features.
Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing!
Help!
I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?

FMS Access Visual Agent Backup Tool

May 12, 2005

Have you guys ever used this scheduling tool from FMS Software that will do a nightly archive and compact/repair.

I tried it out on our live database (not so smart I guess) on a Friday and when I came in Monay it was corrupted. It seems to point to the FMS software corrupting my db.

I wanted to validate and use this software but ain't sure it I will now.

I like the nightly compact/repair. Is there another way to do that with Windows Scheduling or something?

Take a look:

Microsoft Access And Visual Web Developer 2005

Mar 7, 2007

Hello,

When I view my orders page, there is nothing displayed.

I have to query this by Orders.aspx?CustomerID=Sam to display Sam`s orders.

Is there a way that Sam can view all his orders as Sam is the username and the CustomerId?

I specified this query string, but to no avail:

SELECT DISTINCT [OrderID], [CustomerID], [OrderDate], [TotalPrice] FROM [Orders] WHERE ([CustomerID] = ?)

Thanks,

General :: Rounding To Two Decimals Via Visual Basic (Microsoft Access)

Jun 12, 2014

In my database (access 2007) I have code similar to this

Dim Ulaz As String, Izlaz As String, UkKol As String, UkFin As String

and at the end of the code I have this

Me.NC = UkFin / UkKol

Me.NC respresents avaerage price.

If for result I have 0.498 value, I would like for that value to be shown as 0.50. In another words, it must be rounded to two places.

How can I do that in VB? That value will be passed to NC field on Form, however..

Access Developer Extensions And Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition

Jan 1, 2007

I have developed an Access mdb file with lots of tables, forms, queries, reports, and VBA code. I want to be able to distribute this to Access-less users. I understand that the Access Developer Extensions enable this to be done and that the two wizards assist.

My first question is this: Are the Access Developer Extensions and the two wizards included in Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition?

I ask because this is what was recommended by a Microsoft representative and is what I’ve purchased. This came along with something called MSDN Library, but I’m not sure what that allows me so it is possible that this library will contain the elements that I’m searching for, but so far I’ve not found it.

Are the Access Developer Extensions only provided as part of the Visual Studio for Microsoft Office Tool package, as I’ve seen referenced in several forums and articles, including yours, or are these in fact part of other tools, such as the Professional Edition of Visual Studio that I’ve purchased?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Table Problems Moving From Access 2003 -> Access 2007

Jun 19, 2007

Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.

However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.

My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.

Access 2003 To Access 2007 Split Database

Mar 8, 2007

Hi All,

Background Info: I developed our main department's Access 2003 split database which is on a server for 15+ Users. I've now been given Access 2007 for development -- Users still have 2003. There are also 2 other smaller databases that are not split (.mdb).

Problem: In the split database, I've saved the Application .mdb as 2003, relinked and made a new .mde. But the Users still cannot open the database. (I did this in a copy until I figure out the nuances with 2007.) The 2 other unsplit databases can be saved as 2003 version and Users can open OK.

I'm grateful for any suggestions on working with Access 2007. I've been trying to tackle the ribbon which is a whole other question.

Access 2007 To Access 2000 Problem

Dec 17, 2007

I have created a database in Access 2007 that now works well, and one that I'm quite proud off. However, I can easily convert it to an Access 2000 format as can anyone else here, but when I load it up there is a major problem.

I have used the tab control in my main form and that has three tabs on it. However, it's positioned correctly in Access 2007 it's not positioned correctly in Access 2000 as I have to move the tab control down a bit, but that would seem fine. So I lowered the tab control form and changed my form layout slightly, but even then the tab control over all over the Access 2000 form whenever I interact with the tabs - most bizzare.

Any help? Thanks.

Access 2007

Mar 18, 2006

I recently heard that Access 2007 ( part of MS Office 2007) can be purchased as a stand alone program. This sort of confirms that : look at pricing breakdown on : http://techrepublic.com.com/5254-6257-0.html?forumID=99&threadID=174062&messageID=1961442&id=3053951

Anyone done this already ?
