I don't know if this is caused by Access (2003) itself, or somethign else, such as the JET drivers. Whenever I load up anything in Access it crashes saying I can repair it and restart access... no matter what I load.
Also, it seems other programs that connect to a database only retrieve 'nothing' from the tables and queries. I'm quite confused, any help would be wonderful right now.
Running on Windows XP SP2 with Access2003
on a small scale this code works, but when my inventory table has all of the 2000 records it crashes, any ideas.
I can ftp my database if needed

My MS 2000 Access application is crashing and returns a msg something like this: "Your Access application caused an error and Access must be closed"
This occurs only when I execute some forms; always the same forms cause the problem.
Somebody told me to copy the .mdb to another place in my HD and change the names of the forms.
I did it and it always works well!
Any good reason for that?
My app is not yet splited in FE and BE. Splitting would help?
Thanks a lot
Every time I try to import a CSV file into my Access database it crashes. I've tried repairing it but the repaired database crashes as well. Any ideas on what could cause this?
Thanks.
Hi. I have been fixing up some access 97 programs on the computer systems at my work. The main changes I made was creating a search function using a query behind a form to search the database (no more than only 90,000 records). I am running a novell server. The data tables are in a database on the server. The access program on the desktops have their own access database program that use linked tables to the data tables on the server. The following is my issue:
Apparently, some of the changes I made to the searches caused the server buffer to become full and not flush itself. Anytime I was working on creating the fixes, it seemed to make the server crash. I 'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem with access 97 running on a novell server and causing any buffer issues. Any ideas on how to prevent the server from crashing?
Hi all, 1st post. I'm and Access n00b I'm afraid, so take it easy. I normally use php/mysql, but have been roped in to fixing a broken access database.
I've got an Access database, and a fileserver is holding the data (mdb file), but I've got around 10 machines which access the database thru a frontend (mdb file).
Now, this has been working fine until today, where I am trying to view one table (Orders), and access bombs out. It shuts down instantly with no warnings. It does this on every machine, so I think it is a database problem. I can view the data if I open the standalone data file, but I cannot view the data thru the frontend.
I need to fix this asap... what's causing the crash? I didn't make the front end, but if I could look at the code, I may be able to see where it's failing.
I am trying to build an event when I double click a field. As soon as I click on Code Builder, access crashes. It does this with every access database I open.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a simple calculated field (As "Ratio") that is readable in Access 2010 query, but crashes in Excel upon importing/running the query in an .xlsx table.
ERROR MESSAGE in EXCEL: "The query did not run, or the database table could not be opened...check database server..contact your database administrator.."
I am simply taking the cost amounts of each project record (shown as "Record Cost") and dividing it by the "Total Cost" of that project to render "Ratio".
The Total Cost is retrieved from another table.
Testing scenarios:
If we exclude Ratio, the whole query import just fine.
If we filter the query to one project (i.e. "Project A") the ratio field imports fine.
However, the whole unfiltered query does not with the ratio!
Other testing scenarios:
If we use a constant for the denominator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. recordcost/1) the whole unfiltered query and ratio field imports fine.
If we use a constant for the numerator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. 1/totalcost) the whole unfiltered query upon import crashes in Excel.
This is a mock example of the dataset, the actual query has 50K+ records:
Project Service Date Record Cost Total Cost Ratio
A Welding 1/1/2012 $100 $120 83%
A Plumbing 2/1/2012 $20 $120 17%

So here's my situation: Tonight I opened the file I was working on this morning (which was in perfectly fine state)...
I opened a form - CRASH!!
I press ALT+F11 to go to the VBA editor - CRASH!!
I open another form - it works fine... So i select a button and tried to edit the action script - CRASH!!
I relinked the backend file - CRASH!!
It seems everying I do makes the darn thing crash. :mad:
I tried compacting/repairing - no luck there. This is not the first time it has happened to me. I forgot how i managed to fix it the first time. Anyone with experience with this? Any suggestions?
I tried opening an older db file, and was able to access the VBA editor for that file. But it crashed again when i tried going back to the bad file.
If i recall correctly, I think this morning, when I closed my access file, I closed the Access Program long before I finally closed the VBA editor (didn't realize it was still around because the taskbar was a bit cluttered). Wonder if that caused it to go hay-wired.
I've come across a problem with my database, I’ve tried everything I can think of, and I’m still no wiser as to what’s causing the crashes. I hope someone can shed some light on what the problem might be.
I've created a database that uses a switchboard to navigate through the various forms, the switchboard is loaded (using the start up options) most of the database objects are switched off (like display database window), apart from 'allow full menus' and 'allow default shortcut menus'.
This reason I’ve given you the above information is that the error only occurs when the database is loaded through the start up options.
If I open the database bypassing the start-up options this error doesn't occur.
Now to the error:
I have various forms that have a button that will attempt to send an e-mail, its set up that the email doesn't send automatically but allows the user to edit the email before sending.
When the e-mail is created using the code below, and the user decides to cancel sending the email by pressing the 'close' button on the email, the database will lock up.
The first error message I get is:
The sendobject action was cancelled
You used a method of the DoCmd object to carry out an action in visual basic, but then clicked cancelling a dialog box.
For example, you used the close method to close a changed form, then clicked cancel in the dialog box that asks if you want to save the changes you made to the form.
The second message is my error trapping for cancelling the email, and then after that the form loses focus and I can't do anything to the database. It's still running because I have a clock on my form that’s still ticking away.
The only way I can close my database is to 'ctrl alt del' and 'end task' it. When I do this I get another error message saying
You can't exit the database now
If you are running a visual basic module that is using OLE or DDE, you may need to interrupt the module
And then the database closes.
I've noticed the crash only occurs when the 'display database window' option is turned off.
When its on then my error trapping deals with the closing of the email.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone,
I posted at the begining of this month with an URGENT post and had a lot of help off some of you guys. My database was corrupting and crashing and I had a lot of help of rural guy and others. By the finish of the two days I had compiled and decompiled my database and lots of other little tricks to try and make it a bit better.
At the end of the two days the database was up and running but I had to delete three of my forms because the VB Script that was attached to them forms would not delete. I managed to get it working but I am now having further problems.
Althought the database is useable without these forms I can not re-create them. I have tried importing them into a new database, compiling them then importing them into the FE, but it still crashes. I have also tried just creating a new form and starting from scratch but it will not let me create a new form from scratch. It runs very slow and still crashes on development. my Back-end is working fine.
Does anyone know of any common errors that may be causing these problems. I am now in discussions with my boss because the only thing I can think of doing is starting my FE front scratch.
Any sugggestions
I am a novice database user and I built a small job tracking database for a small construction company. For the last 2 days, Access has become very unstable and I am getting the "Sorry but Access has to close" message shortly after opening. I have tried the "repair and compact" utility but no change and it still crashes. Is there other troubleshooting procedures that I can use or can you recommend someone to do the repair work?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've redeveloped my DB so that all forms are unbound. I did this due to a multiuser environemt of 30 or more users.
I left all reports bound because there were fewer than 10 concurrent users running them at any one time.
But... I'm finding the DB crashes when a second user runs the same report concurrently. Maybe its data binding overload?? Would setting the underlying query recordset type to snapshop overcome the problem??
I appreciate any ideas
I'm attaching the code for a function that's attached to a button that allows the users to export data from a form to the directory and file of their choice.
This code works when we're just running Access, but we need it to function in runtime, and it just crashes with an entirely uninformative "runtime error" message.
I didn't write this code, but looking at it, it seems to be just a copy of what's in the MS knowledge base about the filedialog function.
I also never write my own applications using runtime (the program we're running this is was contracted for our lab), so I have no idea why this would be failing in runtime but not in Access. Can anyone help?
We have been calling a main form to manage yacht races using a hyperlink/macro from a selection form which lists all the yacht races ..The main form was too big to fit on some screens so we changed it to pop up mode to allow it to be resized and use scroll bars. this works well when the form is opened manually and all functions run just fine
the hyperlinik/macro for race selection had originally been set up to call the main form in dialog mode but we have had to change this as it disabled the resizing of the form and the scroll bars..The macro tool doesn't offer pop up mode so i selected window mode = normal and the main form opens with a resizable window and scroll bars but all the functions called from this module now fail (error message = use of null value or similar and all the functions go into debug mode - the server is down and i can't access the system to get the exact details)
If i change the macro in the selection form back to window mode = dialog the functions work but i lose the resizing of the main form and and the scroll bars.
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 have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

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.
I have a simple access search form , that's based on a query that fill parameters from the form textboxes, when the access form loads its keeps prompting for parameters value which looks ugly .. I want to open the form, displaying all the records in the table and filter when i click search ..
I have a data entry entry form, that i want to generate success message after successful insert in database. I have done it in the button event if no error happens, still if i left all fields blank and clicked save, it displays the message ..
I need to change that to display please fill the textboxes then click save , and display success message when the row is actually inserted ..
Check the following attachment for sample.
I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri
Masonry NSW');'
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.
I have a stock control database which i have nearly completed. This has Manufacturer, which is linked to products, which is linked to Sub Product(which also has field partCode). i.e. Manufacturer1 can have 3 products, and each of these products could have 5 subsystems and partcodes. Each partcode is unique to that subsystem/product/manufacturer.
I then have a pricing spreadsheet in excel, which has many tabs. A new column has been added for each item for Manufacturer,Product,Subsystem and Partcode.
I need to import these manufacturers,products,subsystems and partcodes, but into the tables with the correct relationships, i.e. product1 and product2 are products of manufacturer1 and so cannot come under manufacturer2, and so on.
I hope this makes sense, Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

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.
I have made a form on access which will be used by other employees within the company, however they have never used access before and they are wanting to access only just the form as I feel with Access and all the tools in the background will confuse them, plus I don't want them editing the data base its self.
Is there a way to only bring up the form, unless I obviously need to edit the date base.
I've done some research on Google and it seems I need to use:
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
However I can not seem to find how I would use this or where?
and also if i did find a way to only bring up the form, how would I be able to switch it from that veiw to the veiw I edit in?
