Hi I have had a look on the forum but cannot find what I am looking for!!
I need to back up all the contents of the tables of a database in a certain folder and then restore it. The reason for all this is to be able to update the database with new features so that the final user can receive the update and restore the data.
How can I achieve this???

Hi I have tried to look, but have not find the solution:confused:
I have a form wich I need in certain fields to have a default value, and this needs to be changed from the final user, I was thinking about taking the data from the previous input, the final user will use the control panel were there is a "push button" to open the form in add mode.
Can I get some help:D
Hi All,
I've searched for ages looking for threads on backing up a database, and even found one which was asking exactly what I need but without solutions given.
I have a split database with BE and FE, which is used by about 20 users. When the last user closes the database I would like the database to be automatically backed up (e.g. when no one is using it). I've found threads on scheduling a backup, it the middle of the night for example, and other threads on backing up while users are logged on, but I'm not really keen to use these approaches.
Any ideas??

I have developed an access database, and prepared its run time exe file. My question is how to develop the database so that the user can regularly backup the database?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am almost finished this project. :p There are just a few things left that I would like to do and I need some help.
1. Add an email notification when data on the form has been edited
2. Filter the form for only OPEN orders, status not equal to 6 or 7
3. When an order is closed (status field) I would like to default the "Date Closed" to today, but allow the user to edit the date if need be.
4. Once the status is closed and the date closed is entered, ask the user if they would like to create a followup order.
I have most of #4 done. I added code on the After Update event on the Status field to set the Date Closed to today and then disable the control, then ask if they would like to create the followup order. The users would like to be able to modify the date closed if they don't happen to do the entry until the next day. I have tried adding my code to the After Update of the date (which is updated with a pop up calendar), but once I select the date from the calendar, the focus stays on the date and the user is not prompted to create the followup order.
Any help you can offer would be wonderful
Thanks

Hi, I have implemented security using a workgroup file as I have done so in the past and everything seemed to go ok except that I can still access my DB without logging in to it?
Obviously this hints that I have left some permissions on the "Admin" user somewhere but i've poured over it for the best part of an hour now and I can't find where it is. Here is my checklist, can anyone else add anything that I need to try?
All "Users" group permissions are disabled
All "Admins" group permissions are enabled
User "TKnight" belongs to groups "Users" and "Admins"
User "admin" belongs to group "Users"
I have checked all the objects ownerships and they all say "TKnight"
Now here's the bit I don't get. If I log in as user "Admin" with the password I specified using a shortcut pointing to the .mdw file I get the message "You do not have the necessary permissions etc..."
But if I try to open the DB without using the shortcut it lets me in fine and when I check the account it says i'm logged in as "Admin"
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening...
Many thanks,
Tom.
I made my Access program and it looks great on my computer.
Why does it look all missed aligned and wacky on other computers ?
These computers are not on a network...
I burned the access program to a cd and then loaded it on their
machines...we all have access 2003
thanks
I have a problem in making reports in access 2007 final.
I can't add related fields into my report.
I found this page here: http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:6mrmlLqrTu8J:office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA101078151033.aspx+access+2007+report+field+avail able+in+related+tables&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1
That says: If you have set the form or report's Record Source property to a saved query, the Field List pane displays only the Fields available for this view section (there is no Show all tables option at the bottom of the Field List pane). To edit the record source, right-click any one of the fields, and then click Edit Record Source.
What does that mean????
Here are my screenshots with the same database:

Note the "fields available in related tables" where is it in final version!!!
I've got two nested queries. One finds the oldest inspections from an import table, the second compares that query to the main table again and pulls all 'expired' inspections for each Service Order in the first.
These queries are trimmed down for the essential elements of my question. I can post the full SQL if necessary.
queryDoTheseFirst:
Code:
SELECT TOP 18 ImportTemp.[SO ID], ImportTemp.[Inspection Activity],
[Activity Created]+[AddDays] AS [Due Date]
FROM [Priority List] INNER JOIN (ImportTemp INNER JOIN
queryNeededFirst ON (ImportTemp.[SO ID] = queryNeededFirst.[SO ID])
ON [Priority List].Activity = ImportTemp.[Inspection Activity]
[Code] ....
The refinement I would like to make is, rather than having to pull TOP 18 activities in the final query, just pull TOP 12 [SO ID]s and however many activities come along with them (usually 1 or 2, averages out to about 1.5 so 18 is my compromise). In theory an inspector could have two inspections due on every single property, and would only get 9 unique addresses/[SO ID]s. But I can't figure out how to do that when [SO ID] is no longer unique in the second query.
I suppose I could 'number' the rows in the subquery and add a <=12 criteria on that calculated field, but I'm leery of the processing required (that table contains ~14,000 rows, and most methods of numbering seem to want to use DCount).
How can I see what they will finally look like while I am formatting them? All the views on offer (form/layout/design) are all displays within the the context of the access programing screens, with other windows and menus and ribbons etc. I want to see how it will look full screen. I know I can change a lot of options, change to the form as a default to open with, resave, reopen and then reverse it all but that's not really any good for doing every time you make a minor change.

Each time I run my code I receive "run-time error 3021: No current record."
It seems that only my timestamp is being added properly, but the error pops up and highlights the first "rstInsert.Edit" of my code. I'm suspecting that my function is running too fast, such that it did not have time to read that the table has already been populated by the timestamp in the AddNew code
Code:
Private Sub Command9_Click()

Dim rstTimestamp As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstAcknowledgement As DAO.Recordset

Hi there...

I have an application that hides all the normal Access menus, so that the user can only use the buttons that I have put on the screen forms. Now however, when I open up access, I cannot get to any of the Access menus. It shows the toolbar, but not the normal FILE/EDIT...TOOLS/HELP menu.
How do I toggle this back on? Everything I have been able to find so far tells me to go to the TOOLS menu ---- I cannot get to the TOOLS menu.
Thanks. BTW, I am not really as stupid as this post makes me sound.

The novice that I am inadverdently deleted a record in a query. (I find it strange that it does not just automatically restore it the next time I run the query.) Is there any way I can get this record back without having to recreate the entire query?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there, i have looked into this but can't find a real solution. I have decided to keep certain of my forms maximised. I have tried pop up, or just have it ordinary sized but this doesn't work for my purposes.
So, the problem is that when the form is maximised, no matter what you do, you can't get rid of the "Restore Window" button in the menu bar. I have tried to make a workaround by putting "DoCmd.Maximize" in the Resize event of the form. The strange thing is that the event does fire but the form doesn't get maximised. Any idea why this is happening and what I could do to solve this issue?
I am using Access 2013 and I had a column that was accidentally deleted a few months ago. Is there anyway to restore a deleted column? If not, I have the majority of the data from that column saved in an excel spreadsheet with another column that is common to the access file and the excel file. Is there any way to take the data from excel and have it match up using the data from the common column?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHey guys,
I figured out to maximize a window when a report is opened, but now I want to restore the window sizes when this report is closed.
I think I kind of know what to do with the DoCmd.Restore and something about OnClose, but I'm lost in the syntax. If someone could help me out by giving me the syntax and where to put this code that would be fantastic :)
Is it possible to disable the Restore button that's displayed on the menu bar when a form is maximised?

I have a db app that has all forms maximized continually (I have set the vba code to do so on Open, Close and GotFocus events). From my app Home Page form the user can browse to other forms in the db. When another form is opened the window automaically maximizes. However, when the user navigates back to the Home Page it goes in restore mode. I haven't told it to do this anywhere. I have also tried saving the form stretched out to fit the full screen, so that if it goes into restore mode it at least still fills the screen, but it still reverts to a restored window (about half the screen). It doesn't matter what configuration I use in the AutoResize, AutoCenter properties either.
I have been developing custom db apps in Access for over 8 years. However, this seems to be a stupid (albeit simple) problem that is annoying me. I currently use Access 2003 and this issue is new (or so I believe since I never ran into the problem in previous versions).
Any ideas?
Thanks...
This is probably very simple and I am wasting time on it so I thought I would ask for a quick fix.
I have a form "Standby" that minimizes when a buton is pressed to open a second form "Filter." This works great. I want the "standby" form to restore to it's original size when I close the "filter" form.
I have tried several options the last being:
under the on close event
Private Sub Form_Close()
Forms!standby.Restore
End Sub
She no worky.
What is the quick solution for this please.
I'm using overlapping forms in my Access 2010 database.
When the form(s) open I want them maximized and I don't want the restore buttons to be available.
I have the Min Max Buttons set to None.
I have DoCmd.Maximize in the On Load.
I want the border style set to thing.
Is there any way to prevents the Restore button to be enabled?
I open the first form it's maximized as per the DoCmd.Maximize in the On Load. I then open another form (which has nothing to do with the first form) and it opens maximized. When I close the second form the first form is no longer maximized, it's restored.
Is there any way to restore menus/editibility when they have been removed using ACCESS OPTIONS > CURRENT DATABASE then uncheck 'allow full menus'? Database was created in Access 2007. I always keep a back up of the pre-menu-disable state of my databases, but this is someone elses for which I can't find a backup.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to disable the Minimise, Restore and Close Buttons at the very top right hand corner of the Access application?
I have got buttons on my database to open / close everything so no need for them, even to hide the full Title bar probably be okay.
I am running Access 2007.
I have a database with several reports that get constantly printed, however I am having an issue with their display properties that sometimes cause errors.I need the report to come up on top of everything, maximized and with the menu bar available to allow for it to be printed or close it. The report window cannot have "minimize" or "restore" available to make sure nobody access any form behind it.
To achieve this in a form I generally use the modal property, however if I do this in a report I cannot get to the menu bar to print or close the print preview.Thinking that modal was out of the question, I went ahead and maximized the report on load and set its properties to the image attached. The db is then compiled (accde) and then distributed.
On my computer (it is being developed on my machine) the report loads fine (maximized) with no min, max or restore buttons and the print preview menu bar is shown with the print and close buttons available. See "My PC" image attached.On any other computer, the report opens up maximized but the report's restore and close buttons are enabled, however the print and close buttons on the print preview menu bar are greyed out. See "Other PC" image attached.Why the inconsistent behaviour when using the same front end?
