Additions After Splitting Problem....
May 17, 2005
I'm not sure if there is an easy way to do this...... Maybe someone has run into this problem. Have a DB.....Did a split...BE is on the server "F" drive.. fe is on stations. I retained a full copy of the DB NOT split. I still wanted to expand it. So now I have problems by working this way..I have not altered the tables that are on the "F" drive.. But I have added more tables to my unplit version. I need to copy the tables and info from the BE on the server BACK to my full DB. Then split it again. IS there an easier way???????????
Thanks

Hello, All.
I have a table that collects training information for our company. Some training is limited to one or two employees and that is easily entered by using a form linked to the table. However, some training is mandatory, company-wide training that all employees must attend. How can I add a record for each employee reflecting this training most efficiently? Is there a way to do a mass update?
Thanks.

I'm a self confessed newb and need help
Bascially trying to get 2 table entries to add together, now I get the 2 fields to view in the 1 entry I want them into but not as an addition
For instance

strPacket48 might have a value of 1725
Total should equal 3451
Problem is in the total field I get the following displaying
String I have tried using is
=Nz([strPacket24])+Nz([strPacket48])
- this displays 17261725

I'm an Access idiot - please be kind :o
I made a little Access app for a friend, to do his invoices. Access wouldn't allow me to copy the db to a CD, but advised me to convert it to a Master. I followed all the instructions (honest!). Afterwards, I could burn his db to a CD and, on his computer, it opened but wouldn't allow edits or new records - not terribly helpful for an invoicing program :eek:
Since then I've tried creating a new admin in his name, re-setting all permissions, blah blah ... Basically, it looks like there is loads of help on securing a database but very little on un-securing it enough to be transferred to another PC!
The dang thing persists in allowing everything except edits & additions :confused:
I can't find out how to convert it back from a Master to ... what, a slave? :p
Even so, that wouldn't be the answer coz I'd be back at square1.
I use a PC running XP and Office 2003. My invoice-less friend has a PC with Win[NT]2000 and Office 2000. I converted the database to Access 2000. I am way out my depth here, but hoping you Access swimmers will be able to advise :cool:

I'm trying to add records to a junction table based on additional record added to one table via form in the many to many relationship.
Junction table = ClientAssociation
Main table = ClientMain (qry_NewClientNullAssociation identifies new record added)
Many to many table = Associations
I'm trying to do this upon clicking a command button that then opens ClientAssociation based on Client_ID. Then allows user to select mutliple associations (Asoc_ID) for Client_ID.
Here's what I have - I'm new at this...
Private Sub ClickAssociations_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_ClickAssociations_Click
'Open recordset with new client records
Dim db As Database
Set db = CurrentDb
Dim recClient As DAO.Recordset
Dim strClientID As String
Set recClient = db.OpenRecordset("qry_NewClientNullAssociation", dbOpenDynaset)
'Loop through new client ids
Do While Not recClient.EOF
strClientID = ClientMain.Client_ID
Dim recAsoc As DAO.Recordset
Dim strAsocID As String
Set recAsoc = db.OpenRecordset("Association", dbOpenDynaset)
'Loop through asoc ids
Do While Not recAsoc.EOF
strAsocID = Asoc_ID
'Open junction table and update records
Dim recClientAsoc As DAO.Recordset
Set recClientAsoc = db.OpenRecordset("ClientAssociation", dbOpenDynaset)
With recClientAsoc
.AddNew
!Client_ID = strClientID
!Asoc_ID = strAsocID
!CheckBox = False
.Update
End With
recAsoc.MoveNext
Loop
recClient.MoveNext
Loop
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frm_Associations2"
stLinkCriteria = "[Client_ID]=" & Me![Client_ID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_ClickAssociations_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_ClickAssociations_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_ClickAssociations_Click
End Sub

Hi All,
I have been searching and can't seem to find how to solve my problem. I have a sub form that allows adding new rows to a database. The detail contains a combobox and a few text fields. When I enter data everything works fine. However when I accidently tab into the next row (new blank row) and then try to get out of the form without adding a new row I get an error about "Index or Primary Key cannot be null" or something like that.
It is very frustrating because I can't exit the form until I add data to the new row and then leave without tabbing to much (thus creating another new row with no data).
How do I trap the new row and only allow the insert if it has data in it?
Thanks.

I have a form which acts as a search function for users looking to amend existing records. This is based on a query, where users enter a parameter (PolicyNumber) and this returns only the records which match the PolicyNumber in a form view. I have also added basic navigation buttons to move between all records with the same policy number. I have a problem in that I can't disable the option to add a new record in this form once people navigate to the end of the records.
The user clicks a 'search' button, manually inputs the policy number, and the records are returned in form view. The code for the button is as follows:
Code : DoCmd.OpenForm "frmAdjustmentsEdit", acNormal, "qryPolicyNumberSearchWriteOff", "", acEdit, acNormal
How I can disable the addition of records in this? Also as a sidenote if no records are found I would like it to display a MsgBox, but despite trawling the internet have been unable to find a solution I could get to work.

While I was trying to test one of my forms (which was NOT working and I had to totally redesign it), I somehow created a bunch of stores in my Store Information table...some with no names, some with the first letter of an existing store, and there was even a duplicate of the store which is creating a problem now because some products exist in Store 1A and others exist in Store 1B.
I've created a query to identify the wayward products and am changing those. I'll delete that store then.
My issue is...can I set it so that the ONLY place a new store can be created is in the Store Information Input form? That if someone makes a typo when entering products, it doesn't create a new store?

I've got a database that allows all users to review an address register. If they find errors or mostly get updated information they have another form they can fill out to make the recommended changes. Only I have access to the main DB to make the change permanent.
The question I have is there a way for Access to send me a notification that someone has requested the change?
I know that sending an email is doable - in Access. However, that's not an option for our network here. I was thinking something along the command prompt "Net Send" command. However I've not been able to get that to work by itself - let alone within Access...
I have used VB code in the past to store what PC is using the database, I could modify that to alert me whenever I open the DB up from my PC. But I was trying to get away from having to open this particular DB up every day and check for changes.

Getting ready to split a DB. No security really needed... Only the ability for multiple users needed. From what I have read here so far it seems best to use a MDE file on the front end and MDB file on the back end. One question is still not answered... I guess I will find out when I load the front ends on different stations.. BUT... I would like to know what to expect. I am assuming that each computer that I load the front end on I will have to go through and link the backend. Correct? I read a MS Knowledge base article about a form to do this... Is this only possible if you use the "developers edition" ??? Whats the common method for this task?
Thanks

I have created an application that uses all the 'normal' factors of an access app. My forms are triggered by events that initiate some vba code which executes and then does something. No big whoop, we are all doing this; but I am going freakin' insane keeping up with changes. The users are using this app in a "live" test enviroment and the changes/updates are coming in quicker than I can type. "This field is not right it should read like this"
Well I can't change it until everyone gets out - they don't like this answer:D
I jumped in before thinking a few versions ahead and did not split the database :eek: I have read a lot of posts here and other sites and I can tell that I need to split this app but am a bit hesitant. From what I can gather I would have a
Front-End - houses all my queries and forms
Back-End - houses all my tables
I have a few modules, where would they need to go so that I can work on them independent of what my users are doing?
I would give each user a copy of the FE or make it available via network drive; would I then keep a seperate copy of my FE to make changes? If yes, does this mean my modules would be in the FE?
Can I split the db now that it has been in live production? What are some common errors that I should look for prior to?
I tried to split the db one time before, but my drop down list box(s) on the forms would not work. They are controlled by a query, not any code. Error msg stated could not find xyz sorry I don't recall the exact error
I need the ability to change, work on and update at will AND NOT effect my users.

Hello,
I have been reading a lot about splitting databases on this forum. I still have some questions.
1) Will the FE (Front End) still show the tables?
2) Will users still be able to edit the forms, reports, etc.?
3) Will my code be hidden
4) Will all the users have up to date data showing when they open the Database?
5) Can more than one person open and input data in the database at the same time?
I also want to make an MDE copy, do I split first or make the MDE and then split?
The whole point is the following: I want the people (maximum 10) that will be using this database to only be able to do enter and view data. They should be able to generate the reports but not create new reports. I only want ONE person to be able to edit the forms, code, and reports. How would I do this.
Your help is much appreciated

Hi,
I've split a database and the backend relationships are still intact but the front end they are not and it looks like this is causing a problem. Is this usual?

Can anyone tell me how to do it. Do I have to create another field which separates out the month, and if so, how do I do that.

Hi everybody,
I have been spending the last few days trying to find a way through the "access security Maze" which I believe I have just done. I have been following the "Ms Access Security Faq to the letter" and just now, I can open the database via a desktop shortcut including a custom workgroup address and I think everything is working fine. Now, I am trying to organise the next step which is splitting the application.
GHudson stated:
I find it easier to start out with one database that has everything in it
[including the security]. Then I copy the db. Rename them so that one is the
front end, one is the back end. The security will still be in both since they are
exact copies. Then remove the shared tables from the front end, remove
everything else from the back end [except the tables that will be shared].
Then relink the shared tables from the front end to the back end.
Using custom shortcuts will make it easier for the users to open the front
end with the correct workgroup. You can customize the shortcuts target
field with all the required file and workgroup info.
I Understand prtty well what's being said but am getting a bit confused of where and how the different part of the application should be organised on the network:
*The back end file should be on the network drive(drive F)
-That's fine...
*The front end should be distributed only on the station using the application:
1) Does that mean that I could place the FE on the F drive for a short
while and ask the different user to copy the application and past it on their own drive and then delete the FE of the share drive.
2) I will have to use the custom shortcut with the specific work group on each station. Should they all have the same shortcut which would mean that there is only one FE on the F drive and not make much sense or Should the shortcut link to the FE application save on their drive which doesn't make much sense either because they could open the DataBase without the shortcut with their own "default" Workgroup and wouldn't be secure anymore.
I apologize for my confusion and have probably missed a basic step in my reasonning but if anybody could redirect me in the right direction, I would really be gratefull.

I setup my security (or lack there of, hehe) and split the database. I relinked the tables.
Now, Access gets hung up when I try to create an MDE of the FE to distribute. It starts the process, asking me to select a folder and file name, I do that, and it gets no further in the process. Access says (not responding).
Should I have created the MDE before I split it? Or does crashing of Access have nothing to do with whether i create the MDE before or after splitting?

Hi, hope someone here has experience with this issue.
Our system was recently converted to much tighter secured network environment and moved to Office 2003 (still Windows XP).
Within the next couple of weeks we expect to split/secure our new db for shared use across a network (approx. 6-8 users at any one time).
I want to keep the db in 2000 as long as possible because I'm doing lots of the work at home and that's what I have. After deployment there will be lots more changes but in managed releases. (sounds official, eh?...)
Does anyone know of any risks I'm running by keeping it in 2000 within Access2003?
Thanks very much,

Hi,
I have been searching for more info on this and found out quite a lot about it; however, I am still wondering how to connect the front ends that will be in different machines to the back end that resides on server.
I know that when you split a database, the wizard asks where to save the first front end. But how about if you have many?
Any help will be very much appreciated.

I have 2 questions.
The first is regarding splitting a database into 2 files, one for tables, and one for forms and queries. I have a database whose data will be accessed from about 4 computers, and almost never will this data be accessed concurrently. In that kind of situation, is it easier to just put the whole DB in a share and give each user a shortcut to it, or should I be splitting it and just putting the tables on the share?
Second question:
The option in Access 2007 to make the database an .accde file. From what I understand this just locks down the structure of the database so it can't be changed. Is this correct? Can it be edited by an admin once it's converted to this format, or does it just stay that way? I guess if it can't be edited, one could just keep a copy of the .mdb, modify that, then reconvert it to .accde.
Also, if I were to split my DB, would I first split and then convert to ACCDE, or the opposite?
Can someone enlighten me on these few things?
Thanks

Hi. I would like to split my database which is used by various people on a shared drive.
Is it possible to specify a relative path to the linked tables in the back end?
Otherwise, if people access the shared drive via different drive letters, it fails.
Also, I like to keep a copy of the database myself. With absolute paths to the back end tables, I can't simply copy both sections from one place to another - as the links fail.
Thanks.
