ASP And Access Limitations
Oct 28, 2006Hi,
My website keeps going down. We run an Access database with ASP coding. I have been told that the problem is from Access having limitations. I read in another posting here that there is a limit of 255 concurrent users, something that we would reach.
I want to know what is the best way forward. Would I need to upgrade to MS sequel? Could I switch to MYSQL? What is the best option and how would I go about doing it? Any other tips or pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Access 2000 Limitations Question
Feb 13, 2005Hello All,
I just had a couple quick questions. My first question is access limited
to a certain amount of records per table, or limited on how big (disk space wise)
a database can be. The reason why I asked was I think I read access 97 had a
limitation on the db could be no more then 2 gigs, or so many records per table, or both.
Thanks
Scope & Limitations Of MS Access And SQL Server
Apr 24, 2008Hello everybody
My office gave me assignment to find out the scope & limitations of the two Microsoft database applications - MS Access and MS SQL Server. After the findings, we have to chose the more appropriate database for our new project, which will have a humble start but may grow big in a year or two.
I will apreciate the info in facts & figures (not only in general).
MS Access Multi-user Limitations
Sep 25, 2006We are planning a database application for a client that will need to be accessed remotely by their consultants. We will initially host this application on one of our servers for a few months, and then the client will take it over and host it. The problem we are facing is that this client wants to use ms access as the database, and doesnt want the interface to be web based. The plan was to use data access pages, and let their consultants use a remote desktop connection to access these pages. I don't use access, but I was under the impression that access couldn't really support multiple users hitting the database in this format. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Greg
Limitations Of Using Access With Multiple Users On Intranet
Mar 24, 2006Hi,
I would like to use an Access database over an Intranet. What are the limitations of doing this? I want multiple individuals to be able to open forms and enter data. I would also want others to be able to run queries and reports on the database. Would I need to upsize to an Oracle database to run with multiple users? Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
Filtering, I Guess That's It
Jul 23, 2007hi
hope someone can help.
I'm making a form to select country/state/city for members
i made a table with 3 columns country,state,city
i wrote down the states for 2 countries (the ones i'm gonna use)
the city is left blank (since i don't want to write down all the cities just yet)
i'm looking to do:
When i try to display the Country as a drop down using a query that selects the column for country, i get a list of the same country the amount of times it is in the table for each state.
I only want to see each country once. even though in the table it is written several times.
Crosstab Limitations
Oct 6, 2005Does anyone know what the maximum rows & columns are for a crosstab query as I cannot find them anywhere?
When I create one that is too big, it just gives the message of how many columns I have rather then how many I'm allowed.
Any help would be greatly recieved.

DLookup Limitations?
Mar 4, 2008Hi,
I have a unbound textfield which is defined as a MEMO as i need the capacity the memotype gives. When i use DLookup to retrieve text from a tablefield it seems like the DLookup function can't retrieve all the text from it. The capacity is there when i use bound relations (not using DLookup), but not with it. Does anyone know how i can get around this?
Thanks in advance :)
Combo Limitations?
Dec 27, 2005Can a combo box, used to auto fill fields on a form, use a memo field? My selections seem to be cutting off at the 255 character limit, eventhough the underlying table is set to memo field. Is there a work-around for this issue?
View 14 Replies View RelatedMemo Field Limitations
Mar 26, 2005I have a form with a memo field. This field is based on a table with a field set as a memo data type. The problem is that although the form field lets you type endlessly, it only saves 255 characters. A memo field is supposed to let you enter up to 64000 characters. Has anyone else ever had this problem, if so what was the solution?
View 1 Replies View RelatedNested Tables/drill Down Limitations...?
Jun 16, 2005Hi there,
I'm using access 2000 for starters.
I have created one to many relationships for each of 10 cascading tables dependent on related records in each preceeding table and was expecting to be able to drill down into them in the standard database window prior to creating a data access form to work with.
However i have found that tables 1 through 7 are visible, but access doens't give a little "+" in the corner of table 8 to get to tables 9 and 10. i.e, i can't seem can't seem to drill down beyond table 8 to view related records in tables 9 then 10.
Does this mean that there is a limit to how far you can drill down through table relationships within access?
Thanks
Vince

Large Field Size = Larger Overall Database Size?
Aug 29, 2005Will keeping your field size shorter result in a smaller MDB file?
Or does Access only use as much space as there is real data in its fields.
Way back in the dBASE III days, dBASE would pad all your "real" information with as many spaces as necessary to fill up your field. I suspect that the MDB structure is probably smarter than that.
Another question on the same topic - I believe there is a maximum number of characters in a record (4000?). Can your field sizes add up to more than 4000, as long as the actual data, all combined, never totals 4000...?
Thanks............

Access Size
May 20, 2005I'm still in design phase but I'm going to have more than 30 tables. I know I'm going to have a pretty good number of forms, queries and reports. Should I start preparing for the worst in case this db gets too big? What kind of techiques can I use to make sure that it still runs quickly enough?
Thanks

Access Size
Dec 20, 2007I will like to know if access can store a lot of data. I am using a database that was written in access and the database has been in use since like 2004. How long can we still use this database. It is becoming slow and having one or two error messages.

How To Reduce The Size Of The MS Access
Oct 4, 2005Hi:
I have one problem.
If I create many many tables, then delete them, then create new tables, so on. The size of the MS Access file will become large.
So, how can I reduce the size of the file? Even though I delete the tables, the size will NOT become less, so how to reduce the size of the file?
Please let me know, thanks a lot. Thanks.
Monitoring Access DB Size
Apr 6, 2006Hello all.
I have a large db. I need something to monitor the size of it. For example the db is saved on a server and used throughout the day. What I need is something to email me an alert when the db reaches 900mbs. Then I can compact and repair the database back down.
I do purge it annually though. Currently it is about 750 mbs.
Any thoughts, please let me know. Thanks much.

Does Access Have A Size Limit?
Apr 3, 2007Hello,
I am working on something and have to link I think a few thousand tables from a "store bought" database here at work. Is there a limit in regards to access? I know they are just linking but I didnt know if Access gets nutty after a while...
Anyone encounter functionality breakdown due to size or complexity?
Thanks.
Access Is Too Big! How To Reduce Size?
Dec 7, 2005Hi, i am wondering how to reduce the size of access.
i have included pictures within forms which obviously made the database bigger (it is currently around 12mb).
However i have tried to delete the pictures to reduce the size, this method did not work at all. The database remains the same size.
does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem i am having?
thanks

Tables :: Student Database For Daily Attendance - Column Limitations
Dec 31, 2012I'm in the process of constructing a student database for my school which would track (in addition to detailed student information) the daily attendance of over 270 students.
It is my understanding that there is a limit of 255 field names per table, so I can't use the student names as field names, nor can I really use dates as this would not quite cover even a year.
Student ID and AttendanceDate as field names is also not really a feasible strategy, as each week this would eat up 1300+ rows, so I would run out of space in that direction as well.
My question is ultimately am I better off building this in excel 2010, or is there a way of doing this in access that I have overlooked?
Access Database Size Limits?
Sep 30, 2005Hey guys,
Was wondering, what is the recommended maximum size for Access databases? I've heard that for very large databases that oracle is preferred. Would Access be appropriate for something on the scope of 5000 records of roughly 6 text and 2 number fields? Do people ever notice performance effects on databases of that size?
Also are there any ways to help reduce the size of the database? Do you recommend change the default field sizes where appropriate and would this have a noticeable effect on a database of this size? Any other suggestions to help keep the database manageable, and functioning?
I'm basically trying to figure out if there's much to worry about here, before I start importing my data. Thanks.
Optimize An Access Application Size
Jan 1, 2008Hello everyone,
I've just finished my access application, but its size is 4 Mb. I expect that it will be much bigger once users begin to add records.
What is the best way in Access to keep the size of the file as small as possible?
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
