Access Has Encountered A Problem And Has To Close. Apologies For The Inconvenience
Oct 27, 2006
I've started getting this vague and in no way helpful message every time I attempt to look at any of the VBA behind my forms, modules, etc.
Luckily, the front end is stored separately from the data, but it's still preventing me from making changes to the forms.
I assume it means corruption of some kind has occurred, but I'm unclear as to what has caused it. Clicking on 'Debug' does nothing. Immediately below the above message it asks if I want to compact and repair the database. I say 'yes' and this also achieves nothing.
In addition, I have tried the following to fix it:
1) Opening the database window and go to Compact and Repair, via the Tools menu. This appears to fix the problem, in that I can then view the VBA code. However, the next time I log out and back into the db, I get the same problem all over again.
2) I am currently importing all of the items (forms, tables, menus, macros - the lot) from the problematic databasse into a blank one, in the hope that this will fix things. This is either taking an extremely long time or the process is hanging. Does anyone know how long this typically takes and what 'Task Manager' should say is happening? The db is 42.5Mb, if that makes a difference.
The above are the only suggestions I've been able to find.
1) Is there anything else that I can try to fix this?
2) What has happened to start causing this problem? I've run through suggested things like suddenly closing the db incorrectly, opening it using another application, etc. and none of these apply.
It was working firn till yesterday morning. I have not made any changes in this. But now i am encountring the following error
Run time error 3125 The database engine can't find ". Make sure it is a valid parameter or alias name, that it doesn't include invalid characters or punctuation, and that the name isn't too long.
Please help me. Same thing working properly in other application . Same code same database.
I'm back again.. still working on the same database, and still pulling my hair out! :-P
Hopefully your wealth of knowledge can help..As my knowledge of Access is limited to say the least but i am always learning :-)
I have created a database to record training histories within our company. Basically it consists of multiple tables, containing employee info, class info etc. All is working fine and i can successfully query the database and pull the relevant reports. However:
I have created a query which shows all training to date. (class id, Duration, trainer, attendees, start time, start date etc). i want to be able to use a form to select a/multiple specific fields and then perform a search on this query ..
eg.. I want to know what training happened in training room 1, on the 2nd of December. or i want to see what training a specifc trainer did on a specific date
Basically i want to be able to search the database using multiple fields
I was thinking of creating a form to populate a table containing the main fields that i would search under (the search variables).. I would then use this table in conjunction with the query showing all training to dislpay the results i need..
Hopefully someone can help.. Apologises if i have not explained this well but to summarise i think i need to be able to search the result of a query usng multiple fields on a form..
I am absolutely puzzeled with a problem we are having with an Ms Access 2000 application, which is the front end to a SQL Server database. We have a database which was working fine for over 6 months. And now all of sudden users are intermittently getting the error messages:
"Error Executing this command" AND "You cancelled the previous operation."
I removed the error handling code from the application to get more detailed error messages and we got the following error message:
The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: .
The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.
This is only intermittent and when they close the database and open it again it works fine for a little while and then the error occurs again. As you can imagine this is a major inconvenience for users.
I have searched the web and forums and there just seems to be 101 reasons why this could happen. Nothing has changed on our system which might cause this occur so I don't know why this is happening.
Could anybody provide any ideas on how I might go about trouble shooting it. We are thinking of opening a support call with Microsoft but the error messages are so generic that I'm not sure what help they could be.
Any help / ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I seem to be having problems with Access and a certain query today. The query has always run OK, however I have linked a field in the query to a textbox on a form (Ive done this well before with other queries). For some reason, everytime i try to run the query now, I get the general "MS Access has encountered a problem. Please report this to MS". Does anyone know if this is a known glitch in Access, or if there is a way around it?
If I start access and try to create a new database or view any database after a second or so this dialog box saying access needs to close appears. It has only happened after I closed the program and it asked if i wanted to save the current dbase. If I view the offending database (by copying it via a pen drive) on my other computer every thing works perfectly! I have tried the "repair program", same result. I have reinstalled the program, same result. I have totally uninstalled Office XP professional and reinstalled it SAME RESULT! As I am not a programmer I am at a loss!
We are having a problem with mulitple users leaving an Access db open and then I am not able to make new reports, etc. without calling everyone to close their session.
Is there a way to automatically close a db if user has not used in certain amount of time?
I am trying to make on load even to check if server side applicate FE is same as of client side FE. For this I am quering a field to check no and if it is not same then to start a batch file which copies and replaces client side FE.
Problem is if access application is running, it gives error. So I need to close the db and replace application.
I know xcopy command to replace file but do no how to trigger close application.
I have two problems excel instance does not close at the end and two when I try to do the looking using text it works but soon as I try using date/time it returns nothing.
Code: Private Sub Command84_Click() Dim objExcel As Excel.Application On Error Resume Next
I have Access as front end and SQL Server as back end. The Access application is placed on a common network drive for theusers to access it. The compact on close option is enabled when the access application is closed.
I have a local copy of the access app. When I close the app, it takes ony a few seconds. But when on a network drive, it is taking 2 mins.I just wanted to know if the time taken to close the application on the network drive can be brought down without disabling the compact on close option.
i want that if any powerpoint application is open after closing my access app all of these powerpoint files will be closed. i found this code for excel file and i changed it for powerpoint application. but i have an error message in this pink line?

Code: Private Sub Command288_Click() Dim s As String Dim i As Long
I am using a database name as school. having a form name as form01.with cmd button close which close the form. I want to close form with ms Access database. So when user click close button application database will be closed.
How would I use the Access 2010 setting, 'Compact on close'?We have a back end on a server and many users with front ends on their computers. So would I set 'Compact on close' on the back end? And then it would compact when the last user logged out?
"how to COMPACT the DB by introducing delay of 10 seconds and then close the DB".In the Database, I'm able to accomplish the "Compact" the database using the function below.
Function Compact() SendKeys "%(FMC)", False End Function
As my DB is quite huge, the Compact action takes around 10 seconds to complete.Now, i would like to Close the Database after Compacting the DB. I tried including "DoCmd.Quit" in the function. The commands in the function, closes the DB but the Compact function doesn't seem to have executed as it needs 10 seconds to complete.
Function Compact() SendKeys "%(FMC)", False DoCmd.Quit End Function
how to introduce this delay of 10 seconds and then close the DB.
Everytime i want to make some changes to my "Testing" Database , always got somebody using it / opening it...
I am trying to create a button , the function of the button is close "Testing" access database who using it or opening it , Example : 5 users included me in a company , when I click a button , 4 of them will received a notification with close "Testing" database message , can do that ?

:mad: I could really use some help here! Apparently, completing a mail merge automation process is much more complicated than I originally thought. I have it doing absolutly everything I need it to do (open merge document, merge data, print, and close all in the background) but I am missing one critical but probably simple step. I want to merge just the CURRENT record only, not the entire database. I've read all 500+ posts concerning merging, but I'm still lost.
-how do I specify just the current record's information? -do I need to create bookmarks, and how do I do this? -how do I properly use the WHERE statement?
This may be the last thing I need to do with my database, if I can get it working right. Currently, it's trying to print all 883 records and takes about 10 minutes to run the command (probably because it's trying to pull all of the records instead of just one.) I will post my code, if you like. I know this is simple, but I can't work it out on my own. Please help me!
