Computer Hangs Accessing Network Database Files
Oct 6, 2004And yes I now that's the title of a Knowledge base article, I stole it because it put into words what I can only say in expletives right now.
Basically, well it's all a bit odd.
I got users on the network who, until yesterday, could access some networked databases. Other files from the same source are ok, just Access files.
Today the moment they click (and I mean a single-click) on the icon to open the database...explorer hangs.
You can't open the database from within MS Access either, that hangs too. But you CAN open them up and use them if you can get them copied locally.
Oh yeah, some people (in the same room, on the same VLAN) can access the database, but can't perform any tasks within it.
Databases are a mix of 97 and 2000.
And to make matters worse, it's happening on another server.
I know you're gonna shout virus, but that looks to be a non-starter since I know of no such virus which would affect ONLY Access files and do it on a single click, and secondly The systems check out fine with both Sophos (and our good luck charm AVG) run against them.
Holy Moley! Has anyone ever come accross such a palarva?
Accessing Back End Over Network
Oct 31, 2005Hi
I've got a back end database on one of my computers and i'm trying to get the link tables to work over a network from another computer. Ive set the link tables up but it wont let me edit any data because it is read only. Its not read only when i run the front end from the computer that stores the back end. How do i enable the front end to edit the data over the network?
also, it is a multi-user system so i want multiple front end parts accessing the one back end but whenever i try and access the data from one system when another is already open it says the file is in use and i can't do anything!
I'm really stuck at the moment and i really need some help please! :confused:
Error Accessing Network
Mar 7, 2006I am making a database and after a small amount of progress I save it and then copy and save with same name but with an extension V1, V2 etc. so that I can keep a working one as backup. Throughout this process I have come across 'Error accessing Network' connection may be lost.....! I have to go back to my previously saved version and redo the changes I was making. This time I didnt save until I was about to make my usual backup and I had quite a few changes. How can I stop this happening and make my last DB work again.

May 20, 2005I think the damage to my database is not recoverable, but i'm still hoping.
My computer crashed when I was working on my dtabase and after restart the db is not working anymore :( If I try to do something, anything (!!!) all I got is an error message: "Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost." But the db is on my computer, I don't use it over the network.
What can I do to make it working again?
Thanx!

Please Help!! "Error Accessing File. Network Connection May Have Been Lost"
Oct 12, 2007Hi all,
I have been developing Access 2K applications. Lately, every time I click a command button on a form or even open the code window for a form, I got this repetitive error message. I even create BLANK Access db and re-import all objects or create brand new form and copy the control designs/code from the error one to the new one. The new db or the new form still have the same ERROR, which is as follow :
"The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost.
*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 evaluation the function, event, or macro."
Please help! Thanks so much for your suggestions/
Have a great weekend,
Accessing The Right Database
Nov 22, 2004I have copied a database that I used for another project for a new one. Everything is the same but when I try to use the command buttons on the form it give me "no record found" error, even though there are records in the database. I know that the Error message is the one that is writin in the database by the orginal designer, I can't quite figure out how to fix the problem I think that it has something to do with the VB coding in the comand button, becuase of the type error message that I am geting, but I don't know how to do it. I can't post the database becuase it is way to big. Everything else is working fine. What hte command button is supposed to do is update a total score percentage based off the numbers that placed in the database also any of the score can be left blank as to not count, max for each score is 5 min is zero, i.e.score1=3score2=5score3=5score4=score5=4score6=3Total Score =80.00%I hope that this makes sence.J
View 3 Replies View RelatedAccessing The Database Properties..
May 6, 2005Ok, Let's say I go into File->Database Properties from the "main" Access screen. This brings up a window with the title "<database name> Properties" where <database name> is the same as currentproject.name.
This window has several tabs including "Summary" and "Custom." It looks like this should be stuff that I can set and then reference from within my code.
My thought is that I can use the "Title" from the "Summary" screen as a variable for all of my msgbox titles. The other interesting one is "Project" on the "Custom" tab. It looks like this may be the same sort of thing.
I've found that the Access Help is absolutely useless - I'm about ready to take a shotgun to "Clippy." But as they say, a display is a terrible thing to waste <grin>. I've also found that it's getting harder and harder to find what I'm looking for in the MSDN library. There's so much stuff and they don't always file it in logical places.
Well, thanks for reading.. sorry for the rant. As usual, any help is appreciated!
Cheers!

If so, how do I access tables in the 'tables' database from the 'front end' database??
Thanks in advance

Accessing Database Remotely
Oct 30, 2004Hi
Can anyone help me please
I have a client database which is linked to website is there is anyway that the database can be linked remotely.
eg if one of the company staff is on the road and want to access the database to view and see what kind of info has been stored in there.
So that they can access the database remotely once its on the server.
How do you make it possible for this to happen or is there some VB programming need to be done to make this possible
What must be done to make this happen?
I hope this is clear

Accessing The Database With Passwords
Jan 7, 2005I have a database of books that contains all the informations about the books in a library, and ofcourse the forms for accessing the database ie searching adding editing and all this, is it possible in access to make a restriction so that only the administrator can edit or add to the database and the other users can only search for books and print reports
I know the logic of creating a password table and a form with a username and a password which checks if the user can access and then open the corresponding form (using isvisible property for the edit and add botton)
but even if i did that the user in reality can see the tables and the forms of the database and can change them directly
please if anyone has an idea??????
thanks

Dec 19, 2012If I need to take the backend of my database offline for changes, what's the best/easiest way to inform the users? Is there some code I can drop into the front end?

Distributing A Database Across A Network
Aug 2, 2005I have a database built in Office 2000.
The client wants it across a network but insists they do not want it split! They want it in a shared drive which everyone has access to via a shortcut.
The database is secured so I presume the Workgroup file will have to be on each PC and a shortcut to the one database on the server which is in a shared mode. Would the security I have implemented still work or would I have to de-secure so everyone has the same level of access.
They do not have Access on all PC's. IFor this to work I presume Access is needed both on the server and PC's
I understand if I purchase Microsoft Access Developers 2000 it has a feature where I can distribute a database to users without Access? However, am I right in assuming this needs the database to be split.
In the UK are there any suggestions on where I can buy Microsoft Access Developers 2000 ?
Many thanks.
Slow Network Database
Feb 7, 2006This problem is driving me nuts!!
I`ve just spent a fair few months creating a database to be used by our sales team, I`ve about finished it and came to trial it with the sales manager. When he is using the database at the same time as me it becomes slow.
The design has a front end with all the queries, forms etc and a back end on a server containing the tables.
The database was created using Access 2000 and was designed to replace a similair db created on 97 which has a decent speed on the network.
The other strange thing is that one particular macro that I`ve been using for the speed tests runs quite slow (about 3 secs) when 2 pcs have the db open but once the macro has run if it is run again it takes typically less than a second to run.
What would cause a db to run a macro at different speeds after they`ve been run once? I`ve tried everything I can find on the net to try and improve the speed to no avail.
Help please!!

Jan 24, 2005i have done a database for a library that enables the user to enter the information about the books and search for it, the administrator have the right to enter the info about the books and edit and search the others have more limited rights depending on which group they belong, i used for the connection (currentProject) because i did all the forms and tables in one DB
a friend from this forum told me and i think he s right, that if i want to put it on the network i have to separate the forms and the tables ie save the tables and the queries on another database that i put on the network
i have a problem
1- im not sure how to connect to another database can i do it like this
Dim conDB as ADODB.connection
set conDB=new ADODB.connection
conDB=openDatabase("the path") or not
2-i have done the result form with a record source (search-query) and then inserted the fields into the form in the design view
can i do that with a query if it was from another database or i need to write it all in code (taking into consideration that i havent found how to insert datacontrols and do the binding, because im using french access, that s why i assigned automatically a record source for the form)
thanks in advance
Showing Database Network Path???
Jul 28, 2006I've got a database with several users and we've had two people recently who rather than creating a shortcut to the db on their desktop copied it and then proceeded to enter their data there instead of into the one on the network.
I would like to be able to add a field on the first page they see when they open it with the complete file name / path information. I know how to do it in Word by adding a field to a header or footer. However, I can't seem to figure out how to do it in Access.
My hope is that if I can display the path and then include a dialog box when the database is opened warning users to verify they have the correct version before they enter any information.
Alternatively, is there a script I could write that would have the db check that it's the V drive copy not a C drive copy?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Creating A Social Network Database
Aug 7, 2006Hi everyone, I am hoping someone will be able to help me with a problem I have. I am undertaking a social network analysis and in order to do this I need to be able to create a matrix with the following format:
Group Person
J Smith G Fowles M Jones
X 1 0 1
Y 0 1 0
Z 1 1 0
I also need to be able to store and retrieve personal and group level details. Note that people can be in more than one group and groups can have more than one person. My problem is that the data has been gathered by another institution and is only available in the following (Excel) format.
Group Person Role Group Characteristic .....
X J Smith Strategist Level One
X M Jones Supporter Level One
Y G Fowles Financer Level Three
Z J Smith Strategist Level Ten
Z G Fowles .... Level Ten
Any idea how I can go about doing this? I know how I could do it if I manually entered the data, but because there are literally thousands of individuals (and a whole heap of groups too) I am hoping hoping hoping that I can do it using Excel and Access. Any advice would be incredibly appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

I have an Access database that needs to be secured and I have 2 problems:

2) How do I stop this from asking for a password for every database (i.e. I only want one database to require the password)?
