I am having multiple user problems with access 2000 quite frequently, and I thought that replication would solve this, as it stands however its proving difficult to get my hands on the developer edition, just wondering, is it worth the hassle to get it, or is there an effective alternative to replication?
View RepliesThe following is loaded in a query:
The field is called CS:
Like [Enter Specialist Last Name Only] & "*"
It works ok, but of course if you don't type anything it will bring all the records up for view, and I don't want that to happen. Can I do something that won't make that happen?
I want to be able to use something like DDESend for putting data into word bookmarks. I already have several instances where this is done with code but I need some others with a simple thing like DDESend.
The problem I have with DDESend is when the form opens a box pops up asking if the Word file is to be opened. I tried with code to first open the Word.doc file and then have the code open the form with the DDESend text boxes but that ends opening two instances of the same Word.doc and the screen all quivers:D
If I just open the form in question and then click OK to open the Word.doc, then close and reopen the form (but without closing the Word.doc, just shrinking it) then all is well. But it is not practical to do that for what is wanted.
Any ideas or an alternative to DDESend. An alternative would need to be simple like a DDESend in text box as it requires someone to be able to easily change field references.
Hello
I am designing a database in which I have used a lot of listboxes sourced to tables. I need to run queries on the listbox results but this doesn't always work due to the listbox/query issue, (found on this forum).
Is there an acceptable alternative to listboxes as the only thing that I can think of is to use checkboxes which would make the data entry for the end user interesting? (The only way around this would be to have individual databases for each person, this defeats the objective of having a database...)
Many thanks

I have a query worked out with the exact result I'm looking for, but it's kind of slow. Can someone find another way to write up this query?SELECT EID, ShortName, ClassID
FROM (
SELECT Employee.EID, Class.CID, Class.ShortName
FROM Employee, Class
) AS Temp1
LEFT JOIN [Class Attendance]
ON (Temp1.CID=[Class Attendance].ClassID) AND
(Temp1.EID=[Class Attendance].EmployeeID);The inner (green) query pairs every employee with every class they could possibly take (cross product). Then that query is joined with the attendance table to show who has taken which class. If a class hasn't been taken the ClassID will be null like so:EID ClassID ShortName

In a table with 5000 records there is a field named "products" with 800 differents products (product1, product2, … product800).
I want to create a new field in a query and mark 100 of these products as "Not available" and the rest 700 as "Available".
For a small number of products I can do this in QBA, using IIf function.
E.g. Products not available:IIf([products] ="product5";"Not available"; IIf([products] ="product10";"Not available"; IIf([products] ="product22";"Not available";"Available"))).
How can I do this for 100 products
Thank you.
I wish to send a report to the PDF printer driver but DO NOT wish to switch the default printer settings. Having found some helpful code on this forum that changes the default printer to the PDF driver, prints the job and then reverts the default printer back to the original printer device.
I am still using Access '97 and although in the code, the default printer does revert back to what it was originally, the Default Printer status 'tick' no longer appears under Start/Settings/Printers.... Consequently, subsequent print jobs outside of Access go to another device and not my DEFAULT printer.......???
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
Oh - in case I wasnt clear - I want to do this in code NOT using the Print dialog box.... !

Hi I've got some code from http://www.lebans.com/alternatecolordetailsection.htm
It allows for alternate bands of color to be displayed for alternative records in Forms in Continuous View. I've looked in this forum for other alternatives to this but the only ones that are available change the background of a control rather that display a whole row that is filled with colour. So therefore the background of the row is say in red, the background of the text controls are in red.
I've managed to put the code into my form and download the class. The only problem is that I can't seem to set the colour in the actual class file - it's all a little bit confusing! Can you help? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee........... :D
You can download the sample database from http://www.lebans.com/alternatecolordetailsection.htm

Hi
I have a custom login screen created for my database and a table with access levels for different users. I am trying to assign user permissions so that certain buttons on the switchboard are visible/not visible dependent on the user security level. As the login screen and the switchboard are on seperate forms, is there any way I can do this??
I've been pulling my hair out since last night so any help at all would be appreaciated
cheers
I was looking for free access add-ins through a search engine when I came across this site. I'm not sure whether or not some of the more seasoned programmers have seen this, but so far it looks like a less confusing alternative to the security features that access comes with. I'm not in any way advertising this, and I haven't tried it myself yet, so I can't speak about how good or bad it is, but it may be something worth looking into. Here are the links:
http://www.accesswizards.com/Downloads.html This lists the add-ins that are available from this particular site.
http://www.accesswizards.com/SecDetails.html This is the "read me" information about the security add-in.
I have tried to create an MDE file for my database but can't figure out why it will not let me. I can't don't think I am over the limit in open TableIDs. I have 76 Forms and 91 Tables.
I am setup with two databases - the database with the data is on the server. Is there any other alternative that I can do other than putting the mdb file directly on the client. And if not is there a way to stop the mdb file from constantly growing in size.
What I am doing, is I have various products with 5 basic fields. I then wanted to add an array of text fields to 2 of those original 5 basic fields. I attempted to do this with a subdatasheet, however, a subdatasheet is not record specific, is not directed to a specific field, and really does not do anything that I want.
Say that the basic field is ProductDescription. I want one column of fields to correlate to it, like below.
ProductDescription
Is blue
Is large
Is heavy
Is strong
Each product will have a different amount of varying descriptor fields. Once understand how to incorporate this with my project, I then will need to understand how to add the subdatasheet to a report easily. Thanks for any help,

If any one can make a suggestion it would be great. I have a list of names with phone numbers, addresses and emails. I thought I could use a combo box to select the name and and have the other date associated with it come up in the appropriate boxes set. I can't get it to work. Does any one have any suggestions on how to make it work or another method that can be used. The out come I want is to allow someone to pic name from a list which will then set the phone number, address and email correct. Ideas would be great.
Thanks Tracey
I am trying to avoid to use a Combo Box & a List Box because of the way the records are stored in the table, I only need to verify that the user does not enter a 3 letter code that is not contained in a specific table (I have a table of countries with the 3 letter code example if the user types ESC instead of ESP an error appears) Is it possible to use the after update to verify the contents against a table?

Hi folks,
Thanks to the many of you who have helpped me get this far. I am finally ready to deploy my database! I would not have gotten this far in just a few months if it were not for your helpful advice. :D
One of the final stages is to place the database on the organization's server and to put FEs on each of the work stations. I've read a bit about replication and splitting of databases but I have one question I haven't found answered here...
What is the best time line for doing this?
Do I replicate the data base and then split it?
Or do I split the data base and then make replicas of the FE?
Does it matter?
Also - is replication truly needed for all data bases - I have a test copy in which I split the Access file, then just copied each front end to 2 machines and it seemed to work okay. Am I missing something that will come back and "byte" me in the keester?
Many thanks again for previous help and for your answers to this question.

Need some advice on Replication of a backend mdb please. I currently have a client/server app - works great. The users now need to collect data from their internet as well as entering data themselves in-house. Situation... can not link tables from web mdb file IS dept forbids link through firewall. How might I be able to keep the data synchronized when the original backend resides within the firewall on the file server and the other needs to sit on the web server? OR ... is there another approach to allow data entry from both the internal users concurrently with data entry from the web. I'm scratching my head and my deadline is looming. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I can't replicate the other way :confused:
My PC is running XP and my laptop is running 2000.

Hi Guys,
I am working with a database that uses an autonumber Data Type in it's tables, this field is set to 'Replication ID'.
I am adding records to my table but for every record i add i need to retrieve the newly added primary key (which is the autonumber replication id).
If it was a incrementing id i could simply select the MAX value from the field. But seeing as it's a replication id it won't bring me back the latest field.
In SQL Server I would use the @@Identity function to return the id.
Can anyone help me?
thanks,
Dave
Hi,
I've been reading about this alot today but can't decide for sure if I should replicate my database or not. The users will have a front end installed on their local drive and the back end is on a shared server.
Basically the users will not be able to add or delete records. However, they can update one column- its a checkbox that allows them to select a record or records in a continuous form. I imagine that if 2 users were using it simultanuously and one de-selected all the records, they would be deselected on the other persons form? This is why I think I need a partial replica. That way when the user opens the database they get a fresh copy of the new data and can select and deselect drawings without interfering with others.
All records are automatically selected when the form is opened so updating changes in the master is not an issue.
Please let me know if I'm on the right track here..
What are the thoughts of table replication. Can I reverse it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Design Master that I use for many replicas. I would like to replicate the design master so experimental changes to queries and tables can be conducted without exposing the "real design master" to errors? Each time I replicate/copy the design master the replica/copy will not allow changes. Is there a way to disassociate the copy/replica from the Design Master so experimental changes will be allowed and can be made?
