Has anyone here used Access on a PDA yet?
I'm looking into the possibilities of creating a db to be used on a PDA for people to instantly update records, and then possibly download the data onto a pc to update the main db.
Any suggestions?
thanks
I'm new to Access and VBA, for the record. What I need to do is copy a SQL database (table structures and records) and save it as a local Access database, so that the user can query and make any changes on the local file without editting the SQL database.
Looking around, it seems like the best option would be to use the TransferDatabase method with the acImport option. Does this sound reasonable, or can someone with more experience suggest a better way to go about it? Thanks.

Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
Thanks in advance.
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.

Hi,
A few years ago I’ve made an access database on access 2000. The problem is that now I’ve installed the office 2003, and I can’t make the database work properly.
At first says that are missing those files: “tshoot.ocx”, “msioff9.ocx” and “msowc.dll”; so, I’ve copy them from another computer using office 2000 and now only complains about “msioff9.ocx” saying that my database contains a reference incomplete to it.
Is there no other way to convert my database do work properly with access 2003? What can I do?
Regards
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.
Hi
I have an Access 2000/2003 database which opens up and displays correctly in Access 2007, but when I go to use the File>Print command, or for that matter any of the other pull down menu's nothing happens?
Has anyone else experienced thisproblem, or does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
Hi
I have this Access application. Now I want to see the databases and fields defined.but when I open the access file, it straight opens the access application.
Then when i press Alt+F11, it opens VB Editor. Then when I click on Design mode it comes back to access in the design mode, but still does not shows the design mode for databases and reports and all.
I can remember there is one more step I need to do after getting into the design of the form.But I cannot remember that
Could anyone please help me out
thanks

Hi,
I am doing some computer work for a company that has an Access 2000 application. This app is split up between a program database that contains the forms, reports, etc. and a data database. Both the program database and the data database are located on a Windows 2003 teminal server. There are usually two or three remote users logged into the terminal server, but this number is about to increase to 6 or 7. I am concerned that these user's will all be running the same copy of the program database. I have read that this can lead to performance problems.
I was wondering if anyone hear thought either of the following would be an improvement:
1. Put a separate copy of the program database in each user's profile on the terminal server.
2. Rather than keeping the program database on the terminal server, put a copy of it on each of the remote client pc's. Then set up a VPN connection to the server and use this to link to the data database.
If anyone could tell me if either of these options would lead to improved performance, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
I'm wondering if there is a way to open an access database (ive started with a microsoft template for an inventory management database) outside of the access environment. I'd like the program to run more like a .exe file rather than a database, but still having the links to and the functionality of the microsoft database
is this possible?
I have written (what I think) is a great database, but when I came to install it I found out that the users I wrote it for did not even have MS access on their computers.
Is there a way that I can save the FE in a different format, or is there a tool, that they can use the FE without having to install Access?
This is the only database / Access they will use
We have this database which is used by a member of staff for some reason even though the system clock is at the correct time and all other office programs like word and excel save the file and show the correct time. when evre this user saves there database and goes to view the time its showing as being saved an 1 hr behind insted of at the correct time.
Has anyone ever heard of this before.

I'm new to this site. I have Access 97 Pro. I have a problem as cited below. I have 2 Access 97 tables called: Name and Activity. The fields in the Name table are: NameID (set to autonumber and primary key) and Name (set as Text). The fields in the Activity table are: ActID(set to autonumber), Activity(set as Text) and NameID(set as number). There is a one-to-many relationship between the tables. Name is the ONE and Activity is the MANY
Have a form and subform; Name is on the form and Activity is on the subform. The idea of this database is to link a name to various types of activities. Each name could have a multitude of activities. There are only about 25 names. I want to make the Name field a combo box so the user can pull down the menu and select a particular name. I also want the Activity field in the subform grid to be a combo box so various activities can be selected easily, probably in alphabetical order. There are some other fields in the grid: date of activity, staff, participated, etc. I'd even like the staff field to be a combo box so a staff name is easily entered (I'm probably wishing for the impossible). The problem I’m having is knowing how to link the two combo boxes so that when the user selects a name, any related activities show in the Activity field in the grid. If there are no activities related to a Name, then the user could pull down the menu and select an activity. Currently I have both the name field on the form and the activity field in the subform as a text boxes. I can enter names and activities and the particular name is connected to that persons unique activities. Using textboxes works fine. My wanting to use combo boxes is my attempt to make the database that much easier for the staff to use. Is there a way to do this? If not, I'll have to tell the staff that it can't or I don't know how to use the combo boxes and they will have to live with the way it is now. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello,
I want to do something quite simple to start with and expand on it as my knowledge of databases grows.
This is what I need:
Open Access
Window appears ''Type company name'' and a textbox
Company001 is typed and a new window appears with something like: Add, Edit, view, Switch company.
Next to ''add'' there should be a dropdown list were the user can type in the name or select it from the list (something like if you type the first 3 letters the whole word will come up). Now comes the part which I cant do: i need the user to either press enter or click on a ''go'' button which takes the user to a new form to enter details. Just like the name their typed where a button.
I need some suggestions on how to put my access database into the web. Here's what I have and here's what I need. I have a database with forms that need to be put on the web so that users can fill out the forms. The first thing that should appear is a switchboad and they can then select which ever form they want to fill out. There's a total of 4 forms right now. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

I have made a database which I have split and am using at my place of work. Now people are requesting that I this database is accessible over the web. As I have already made the database is this easy to do? Also will the database act the same way as it currently does?
I would also like to use an FTP address to do this.
Hi.
I am having a hell of a time trying to make my order and invoice processing database to work properly with useful functions. Is there any online resource from which I can download a working example of such a database in order to use as a case study and examine how everything relates and how complex order forms are created? :confused:
Thanks.
I have an access database that I used to be able to share between 5 different people (we were all able to input data at the same time) Something has changed and now only one person can get in to work on it at a time. If someone else tries it tells them that it can't find the database. Has anyone seen this before and if so what's the fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anybody know of a site where you can download/modify/use pre-made databases files?
I am looking to create a basic database to store survey details about signage on site for 200 sites.
Details i need to include are Site, Sign, and Components....
I think the database itself would be fairly standard, even if the fields needed tweaking
I don't want to invest the time into this if there is something I could use already out there
