Access Keeps Not Responding When Trying To Run A Query
Jun 28, 2012
in this query, I have about 25 small queries, 3 fields each, each linking to this one big table where one field of each query links to one field of the big table. Whenever I run the query, my program hangs up and I'm eventually forced to force-quit it. Is it because my computer isn't strong enough (it's your typical desk top computer for an office job) or could it be because the servers in which all the access databases are stored on aren't very good networks?
Does anyone know how to overcome MS Access not responding error. I am trying to change a Data Type on Access 2003 but the data is large and stops responding. There are about 550 000 records in one of my tables and when i try to change the data type after importing the data, it crashes.
Code: Private Sub Form_Timer() Dim LocalTime, StartWindow, EndWindow As Date LocalTime = Format(TimeValue(Now()), "hh:mm") StartWindow = #11:46:00 AM# EndWindow = #11:48:00 AM# Dim Response
[Code] ....
The intent is to run automated back end maintenance activities while giving the user the option to delay it if they're in the middle of something.
My logic is as follows:
If it's between these two times, ask the user if the maintenance can run. If user says yes, run maintenance. If user says no shift the two times to the right and ask again in a few minutes.
As it is written, when I chose no I get an hourglass icon and if I try to do anything else Windows tells me Access isn't responding. I'm guessing that Access is hanging since I've initiated the Do Until and then stalled it by telling it to wait 3 minutes before it goes to the next step. I suspect that if I waited it out, when the new Startwindow hit I would be asked about running the maintenance again.
My issue is that I need the database to remain responsive to whatever the user needs to do while I wait to ask about running maintenance again. Therefore, I don't think Do Until is my answer - at least not the way I've implemented it.
The will ultimately be set on a 10 minute timer interval and start/end window will be 01:00 and 01:15 AM respectively. The times you see above are there for testing so I can see what happens.
This is a real conundrum. The following procedure works well the first time through but on subsequent times the database just goes into "Not Responding" mode and has to be restarted. I have tried putting delays in but with little success.
The idea of the procedure is to rename a query, "Daily Logs" to include a specific date "TransDate" so that when the query is sent via Outlook the Excel file name appears for example as Daily Logs 21-03-14.
I am relatively new to Access and I was wondering if there is a way to automatically respond to delete table prompts when running a macro.
Currently I am running a macro that takes about 2 hours, and sporatically asks 'are you sure you want to delete table x'. I have to check on it every 10min or so to respond 'yes' or it will pause the macro. Quite a hassle if I am busy with other tasks and forget to check it.
For some reason our database keeps "not responding" ...
The application stops responding when:A field is selected that has a input mask
A combo box is highlighted (forcing the drop-down menu to open)
Certain buttons are pressed (in fact all but two trigger not responding, why the two buttons are immune)
if I put a break point on a section of code that runs when I press a button (any button, it doesnt matter) and I then press the button which takes me to VBA, to the break point. Then I press F5 to continue to run the code until the function ends (essentially doing nothing, just running the code to the soonest break point I can in the function and then running the rest of the code as normal...) it all works fine again!!!!
I fixed the issue by creating the function:
Code: Sub aiuewjgaop() End Sub
saved the database, deleted the function and then saved the database again.
I have a table with a field 'Fax number', type: text (since occasionally we write a comment in there, like 'prohibited').
Some records have fax numbers, others are empty.
I want to find all records which do have a fax number. So I wrote into the Query: "is not null", expecting to get only the records which have a fax number or some text in them.
In fact, all records came up in the query, empty as well as non-empty fax fields.
I was wondering if the 'empty field' had a blank space in them, but could not find any. Tried backspace key, but there was nothing to backspace on.
I used the find-replace utility and searched for single space in Whole Field. It picked out quite a few records, but not all - so something invisible seems to be there.
However, when I opened the 'replace' window of find/replace, and had the replace window empty, then clicked 'replace', the msg came 'Access cannot find the specified text'.
What am I doing wrong? What do I have to do to get the query to work?
I ran some code to number old records in a column to order items in a datasheet subform however after updating the column in the inventory transactions table when opening the main form that relies on it. It runs a query to determine the customers balance due and the query for that is taking forever to run like 2-3 minutes or more however reverting to an old copy of the data it runs fine and all I did was renumber records in one column most of which had 1s in them the code to re-number the records:
Code: Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim i As Long Dim OID As Long Dim stringSQL as String i = 1
[Code] .....
I continued playing with this today and the query that is breaking the 2nd level subquery that actually references the inventory transactions table that I changed runs fine but go up a level to subquery1 which references subquery2 and a sum of payments query and it chokes however sum of payments only refernces the payments table.
I did some more testing today Subquery2 and sum of payments query both run faster than what I can time with a stopwatch but when combined they take approximately 1:45 there are only 5 columns in subquery1 four from subquery2 and 1 from the sum of payments 3 of the first 4 are sum and the last is group by and then the one from sum of payments is group by
Subquery 2:
Code: SELECT CLng((nz([UnitsSold])*nz([UnitPrice]))*(1-nz([Discount]))*100)/100 AS [Line Total], CLng([Line Total]*(1+nz([SalesTaxRate]))*100)/100 AS [Line Total With Tax], [Line Total With Tax]-[Line Total] AS [Line Tax], [Inventory Transactions].*
Whats the causes of Access not responding - and how do I prevent it?
It happens on some forms - which most of the time work fine - then suddenly "Not responding" and things stop until access feels like responding again! :(
Can anyone point me in the right direction - Thanks, Paul
I am using Office 2003 on XP. I have a number of reports generated by macros in the database. Once I moved the application to a different pc the macros don't respond, I have set the macro security to low and still no. If I operate the application through the network all works fine but using at the pc no. Any suggestions?
I have tried to display a message asking if you are sure you want to change data when you enter a field that already contains data. This is via a combo box.
Even when the entry is new, the message comes up. I have tried using OnDirty, OnChange, and AfterUpdate, but I always get the message on new input. Any suggestions?
I have created an Access Front End Database that many people in one of the departments use. Each user has their own copy of the Front End on their Computer. The Back End is on a SQL Server.
On one of the forms I created a Duplicate Record Button using the Wizard in Access. I have ONE user who has trouble using this button.
She uses it to copy records over and over and over. Then she changes just a few pieces of data as needed.
She often gets one of two error messages: The Clipboard isn't responding, so Commercial Workflow(name of DB) can't paste the Clipboard's contents.
or
The command or action 'PasteAppend' isn't available now.
I have tried to recreate these errors on my computer with my front end. My Front End is the master they copy from. But I can not recreate the error.
I did check a few things on her front-end and my front end and found 1 setting different On the Clipboard there is an options button and the first setting “Show Office Clipboard Automatically" on my front end is not checked and hers was checked. I changed that and the next day she was still having problems.
I have done a lot of searching on this and I just keep coming up at a dead end. Can anyone out there help me?
my form consited of 4 pages and controlled by query (joined 2 tables). I added a new table to the query and another page to the form . This page contains several controls (option, check boxes, combo boxes, text boxes) with source - fields of a new table added to the query. None of the controls on the new page respond.
I am working on a project that was started in access, but needs to be moved into an Access project so that It can be integrated with other forms. When I did this I realized that my database queries needed to be changed from Access to SQL code. for example instead of representing a date as #DATE# it needed to be represented as 'DATE'.
However I have one issue that I am having issues with.
I have a query that determines a few collumns by running information through a vb function and returning the result.
The issue is I do not know how to convert this code from Access to SQL so that it will work.
The code is
SELECT Action_Indef([DUE],IIf(IsNull([WAIVER]),[DUE],[WAIVER]),[LOG_NO]) AS [Action], TESTSTAT.*, Action_date([DUE],IIf(IsNull([WAIVER]),[DUE],[WAIVER])) AS Action_Date_Field, IIf([DUE]<[WAIVER],[WAIVER],[DUE]) AS Later FROM TESTSTAT WHERE [LOG_NO] LIKE '*' ORDER BY Action_Indef([DUE],IIf(IsNull([WAIVER]),[DUE],[WAIVER]),[LOG_NO]);
Can someone provide me with a sutible sql equvalent to this code

Can anyone help? I have a query that queries against 11 linked views against an SQL Server backend.
The query is running dog slow, so I want to convert it to a pass-through query so that the processing is done server side rather than Access having to drag thousands of records across the network, but don't know where to start.
The problem is that I need to convert the Access SQL to a version of SQL that SQL Server understands.
Is there a tool I can use that does this automatically (keeping my fingers crossed here)? If not then does anyone know where I can find out how to do this?
This is a Oracle query... its working in Oracle but didnt work in access...

Is it possible to run a query that's inside an Access database from another program? Possibly excel.
I continue to run into walls with the fact that I can't get my company to buy licenses for Access to put on PCs. I'm determined to work around these issues, but there are obvious limitations.
Right now I got Excel sheets linked to a database where it pulls information of a main database that I'll update. They hit a macro button and it fills their sheet with the information I've provided in the database. At the end of each shift, I pull the information back into the database with the updated numbers for the day with a Union Query, then collect all the data into a new table.
The "old" way was cutting and pasting data from 60 Excel sheets every day which took 2 1/2 hours. I accomplish it now in about 10 seconds. Enough patting on the back.
The problem is that I need to delegate some of this out because I simply don't work all three shifts that we have and I want someone to "pull" the data after each shift. Of course, the people that I want to do this do not have Access.
How can I enable them to run these queries? Is it even possible?
Hi guys im trying to create a access database which has two colums like the example shown below.
Registry total registry

Hi,I am new to database work.I have to write a query to design a report basaed on the data coming from raw table.I have a table which contains sales information like deal name,code,closing date of deal,total revenue for the year and probability.I have to write a query to get the new data based on the table containing raw data. My query should contain monthly revenue and quarterly revenue based on the fields closing date and total revenue.ex:If the closing date for a particular deal is mar-08 then the total revenue entered in revenue field should get updated in a new field [march month].Please help me how to build a logic for the query.I have to design a report based on this information and source should be one table.
Any help would be appreciated...
pls help me thanks in advance...
below table givesidea to build a query: Closing date Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Revenue Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
How can i find max date and close value corresponding to that date. The following query doesn't work as A.Close is not a part of aggregate function and using group by on A.Close gives undesired results.
SELECT MAX(A.Date), A.Close FROM (tblSecurityDay A INNER JOIN tblSecurity B ON A.SecurityID = B.SecurityID) INNER JOIN CompanyDetails C ON B.SecurityCode = C.CompanyCode AND B.CompanyKey = C.CompanyKey WHERE C.CompanyCode = 'ABC' AND C.CompanyKey = 1
I have recently started working on a Access database and I have very little knowledge about it. This is what I am trying to do: I made a form with 4 text boxes on it. The user fill sout the info in these text boxes and then hit a button. What i want to happen is:
One of the fields is actually a criteria for a query. Depending on what the field entry is, I want to make a report will all the records that match the criteria. eg: if the user types in 278 for a lot # criteria (one of the boxes on the form) then, i want all records that match that lot # to appear in a report.
I really have been struggling with this. Please help. Thanks ~svn

Im importing a file into access and i want to add querys. The problem is the field im querying wont always be in the same place or be the same name. The only thing that remains the same is that the field i want to query will always be the last column. Anyone know what to do for this??
