Access Started To Hang
Jan 21, 2007
Hello,
I have a very strange problem.
A customer has come to me with a database that must have worked fine at some point (as it has lots of entries but hangs on startup) but all of a sudden its started to just hang (i.e. just get stuck - as if it were in an infinite loop (though I doubt this is the case).
The system is an MDB but it references an MDE as a function library - by walking through the code I located a line with a function that I am assuming comes from the MDE (as I cannot find it in the MDB) that causes the system to hang.
By commenting out this line (and I dont know what this line does exactly) the system becomes accessible and most functions work - however when I try to run a report it hangs again.
I have tried to walk through the report but it doesnt help as it still just crashes at a point that I cannot see.
I have tried compact and repair just incase thats something to do with it but its made no diffence
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm trying to scope a MS Access project and was wondering if VB programming/ is required to build something like the Northwinds sample database?
We'd like a DB system to manage member records, their administrators and to query for random member mailings.
Does Access 07 have easy ways to generate individual or group mailings or does this always come through MS Word mail merge? Our data will be shared on a MYSQL server.Will RAND and SELECT WHERE SQL statements be enough for random sampling or will this require some outside programming? Are the form controls easy to use generating custom reports?
Thanks for any help getting started or finding resources.

Hello:
I've been using Access as my database development tool for a few years. Now I would like to start learning how to use Access in conjuction with other tools (such as ASP, vb.Net, etc.) to develop web applications. Can anyone point me in the right direction, offer ideas on how to get started? I don't know how things work between an Access db and the Web.
Thank you very much.

Im just curious on how some of you made a career by creating DB's for clients. Everything I see is generally some other program besides Access. Is Access something I should not learn because there is no demand or is this strictly free lance work?
These past few months have captivated my imagination and I have enjoyed creating my database and all the countless times I learn something new. However Im to the point where I am asking myself if the hours and time spent learning all of this will be useless because I am contemplating the idea to make this a career (oddly enough I enjoy it that much!)
Thank you for the input!

Hi all,
I need a hand from your side with the following.
The attached Excel workbook needs to be transformed into an Access 2003 database.
It is a list of clients’cases represented by lawfirms and the amount of money that is involved.
The case comes in under the ‘Aufstellung’ worksheet and can progress to a Claim or 2 different other Requests.
Purpose of the database :
1.Fast entry of new cases
2.Easy look up of existing cases
3.Conform updating of existing cases (warning when a certain case number already exists)
4.Easy report running
5.Keep the entire history of updates, changes, deletions and processing to a Claim
Tables :
1.Aufstellung
2.Claim Request
3.MB Request
4.MFA Request
-Question 1 : In the tables you will see that several different appointment dates and hours for one case are listed in 1 cell. In order to keep the history of updates do I need to create a separate Appointments table ? How would I structure this then ? The unique identifier is the Case Number. But 5 columns (Columns E, F, G, H and K) are ellegible to be treated this way. Do I need to create 5 separate Appointments tables ? And how do link them ?
-Question 2 : In order to split all the packed Appointments information in one cell I need to transfer the column to Word, replace the manual break by e.g. *, re-import the table in Excel and do text to columns ? So that each Case Number gets a number of columns accordingly to the number lines in the original cell ?
Queries :
1.List all Failed cases per form
2.List all Open cases per form
3.List all Filed cases per form
4.List all New Date set by Authorities per form
5.List all No results per form
6.List all ABC per form
Forms :
1.Aufstellung
2.Claim Request
3.MB Request
4.MFA Request
-Question 1 : How do I set up a check box in the Aufstellung form which, by checking off, will transfer the current record to the Claim Request form ?
-Question 2 : How can I make a field to be a lookup field ? e.g. When typing a name, it will give a drop down list of existing names of the table and the possibility to type a new name which will be stored in the table ?
-Question 3 : How do I make a pop-up warning message in the Austellung form when a certain case number exists already in the database ? And how do I block the case number field for duplicate entries ?
Reports :
1.Aufstellung complete table
2.Claim request complete table
3.MB request complete table
4.MFA request complete table
5.List all Failed cases per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
6.List all Open cases per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
7.List all Filed cases per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
8.List all New Date set by Authorities per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
9.List all No results per Form (empties) and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
10.List all ABC per Form and include count of Failed cases plus sum of the Main demand in Euro
-Question 1 : How do I include a count of the records into the report ?
-Question 2 : How do I include a sum of the Main demand in Euro into the report ?
Switchboard :
1.Make a new entry or update an existing one
a.Aufstellung
b.Claim request
c.MB Request
d.MFA request
2.Search
a.Case Number
b.Applicant’s Name
c.Date
d.Court record Number
3.Reports
a.Failed case
b.Open cases
c.Filed cases
d.New date set by Authorities cases
e.ABC cases
4.History
a.Export history table to Excel through e-mail
b.Who updated the record and when ?
-Question 1 : Do I need to create a switchboard at the very beginning of my database ?
-Question 2 : A switchboard can only contain 8 buttons, how do I create a sub switchboard ?
-Question 3 : How do I set up the user access tracking – who updated what when ?
Thanks in advance !

I'm fairly experinced with computers... and I'm a quick learner... so lets get started...
I need to make a library of information. This information will then be used in a clinical note.
What I want the form to do is this:
The form will have a place where you can choose a 'Doctor's Diagnosis.' Once you select the Doctor's Diagnosis, in this case lets say we selected 'Arthritis' Below in a new drop down box or something of that sort, It will be the 'Nurse's Diagnosis' and it will give you a diagnosis according to what was selected under Doctor's Diagnosis. Once you select something from the Nurse's Diagnosis box, It should give you the apporpriate information according to what you have selected. Basically what I need is for the form to only display the information according to what the user inputs under Doctor's Diagnosis and Nurse's Daignosis. A good example of this would be, Lets say we are on a website it asks for 'Country,' you select 'United States' then under that it has another drop down box and it asks you to select state and it gives you the states of the United States. But if u where to select Canada it would give you the states of Canada.
Can Someone please give me some direction to follow and give me some good info on this because i am completely lost.

Good morning,
I am trying to create a simple form that will run reports based on certain criteria.
I have two plans (MD and DC) and I want the user to be able to select whether they
want to run MD reports or DC reports. After that selection, I want them to select
the period (Jan - Mar so far). Based on the two criteria above, I want the appropriate
tables/queries to load so that they can run the specific reports. Each month has it's own
table, so I have six tables all together (MD: Jan, Feb, Mar and DC: Jan, Feb, Mar).
So far, all I have is a table with the plan and the period, in the same table. Can anyone
please point me in the right direction as to how I should approach this?
Thank you!

hello,
I am having some difficulty starting my database. I have worked with Access 2002 and have massaged data into useful information for other databases. I am having trouble determining useful tables and eliminating redundancy. I have attached a.bmp file.
So far I have 20 different "Features". Each one of these features can belong to one or more "Groups". Each "Group" for a particular "Feature" will have a selection list of Multiple "Causes" a user can select from. Once the user selects a "Cause" -- then each "Cause" has a list of "Corrective Actions" the user can select particular to that "Cause".
If anyone would be so kind as to possibly point me in the right direction as to what I should do as far as structuring my tables properly, I would be appreciative. Thank You in advance.

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?

The issue: Access do nothing when I open the FEs. Note please that the DB is designed by me and it work very well on the user"s computers.
I use A2007 on Win7
The DB is in a trusted folder. Compact and Repair is not useful.

I have a [Time Job Started] field that is auto populated with now(). which has input of 1/29/2014 11:02:02 am. Then I have a [Time Job Ended], typed in by user that has input of 6:00 pm, no date value. Cant really do the date() + Time Job Ended, because the date can range since times can go through midnight.
I am trying to calculate time duration. DateDiff("n",[Hot Calls]![Time Job started],[hot Calls]![Time Job Ended]) if this formatted as "Short time" it returns 0:00.
I want to report this as HH:MM. so the result should be 6:58.

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

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?

I have an Access DB that I created in Access XP. It works perfectly when used in Access XP. When used in an Access 2003 environment some of the functions don't work anymore. I have users who use Office XP and users who use Office 2003. Does anybody know how to make this DB work in Access 2003 without having to do wholesale code changes?
I have already changed the security to "Low" to bypass the security feature built in in Jet 4.0 but it didn't help. I might have to uninstall Windows XP SP2 to make it work because I know that the application works in an Office 2003 environment with Windows XP SP1 only. But I'm trying to avoid having to uninstall XP SP2 because it's a pain. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
My workstation environment is as follows:
OS: Windows XP SP2
Office: Office 2003 SP1
Jet: 4.0

Hi,
I've created a database in access 2003 with the default file format being Access 2000. Everything works fine on my computer and many others, all of whom are running different versions of access (2000, 2002 & 2003).
I have not had any problems with this database until recently and in the last few weeks we have had 2 users, both of them being Access 2000 users who have had the same problem.
The problem they are having is that when they click on any of the switchboard items, the buttons depress an then come back up again when the cursor is moved away, but nothing else happens - no action, no error message - nothing!!! Its the same for all of the buttons on the switchboard.
Does anyone know what is causing this? I have another computer with Access 2000 on it and this works fine, as it does on several other computers runiing Access 2000, I just cannot understand why it is not working on these 2 particular machine.......
Many thanks in anticpation.
Steve
