I read a lot of threads and some KB articles before this, but am still confused.
Can a copy of the BE database be made on the Server while users are logged on ? Max No. of users is 7.
Does copying a BE while work is going on lead to corruption in the database.
Right now i make a copy of the database thru code and then compress the copy for a backup.
I want to locate an address online from my access database program upon clicking a button. What will be the best way to do this. Does access database have the tool to link address from your program.
Any help p
Hello,
I was wondering if anybody could please advise on how to make the existing database(Ms Access) online.
Does IIS server come with Ms office? How to install and what are the steps to make it a client server application.
Would appreciate your help a lot. Thanks

I currently have a database on my hd and four other ppl have a copy on theirs. (We are in different physical locations which makes it very slow to put the database on our server).
Currently eveyrone is sending me files that i upload to my copy of the database so i have all of their data.
the obvious setbacks to this is that the data is not live and some of the changes might be missed etc.
i would like to move this and house the tables on my company's intranet
what would i need to do to accomplish this?
I would like to put my database that I have created online so I can update it from anywhere, and was wondering what are my options - does access have a feature to do this? Or will it involve using dynamic coding to update the tables? I would like to use the forms that I have already created etc ... but is this possible?
I have my own server if this helps?!
thanks

I am developing a very simple little app online that is giving me 2 main areas of trouble. Basically, all this app does is take information from a form and put it into an access db which is located on a web server (it also sends out an email to the admin when the form is submitted, but that is working fine). So there is one page that is the form and it is pointed at a second page that does the insert to the db, sends the email and then displays a Thank You message. I set up a ODBC connection on the web server to the database that seems to be working fine ( I can run a SELECT query against it and get info out of it - I put one dummy record in the db just for testing).
I'm having 2 main problems as follows:
Permissions - the sys admin is hesitant to open up the folder that contains the DB (and nothing else) to allow for write/read control to the anonymous internet user account. Just to test it, he did and I was able to run the query on the page (although I had problems with inserting - see problem 2 below). The sys admin suggested that I "use different credentials" to access this db in this folder and set up a separate user account/password for this purpose on this folder. 2 questions:
1.) how dangerous is it to allow read/write access for the anonymous internet user account?
2. what kind of code (.asp) could I use to access the DB using the separate user account the sys admin set up?
Insert to the DB not working - When I do run this page, it seems to run fine, with seemingly no errors, but when I do a SELECT query against it, none of the data is there. here is the code I am using:
<%
Dim objConn
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.ConnectionString = "DSN=RVU_contact_db"
objConn.Mode = 3
objConn.Open
strSQL = "insert into `contacts`(first_name,last_name,email,phone,addres s,city,state,zip,subject,message,department) " _
& "values ('" & request.form("first_name") & "','" & request.form("last_name") & "','" & request.Form("email") & "','" & request.form("phone") & "','" & request.form("address") & "','" & request.Form("city") & "','" & request.form("state") & "','" & request.form("zip") & "','" & request.Form("subject") & "','" & request.form("message") & "','" & request.form("department") & "')"
objConn.execute strSQL
objConn.Close
%>
I notice that there is a .ldb that seems to stay open in that folder, even when I do a objConn.Close, and I don't seem to be able to delete this off the server.
Any ideas on how to solve these problems? Any help on any of the above greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
johnmr

I’ve recently added form functionality on my website, which runs with the aid of a perl script and sends the results via an email message.
I’m currently able to import, or link, data from a specific mail folder (Outlook 2002) to an MS Access database (Access 2002). However, my problem is the message body, which contains the data I’m interested in, is all placed in the one field.
I would like the data contained in the message body to be imported into separate fields but I have not been able to figure out how this is done.
I can arrange the data within the email message body to conform to a particular format if needed, even HTML, but I can't work out how to import the data into separate fields.
Tried searching this forum but couldn’t find the answers. Perhaps there is a better way of processing online forms, one which I’m not aware of.
My web service does support mySQL and also has ODBC dirvers for Access but this to me seems like an over kill approach particularly since I don't need access to data from the website (active pages)
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Where does one start to look for information on what is needed to set up an online web form that can write to an Access database? I'd like to learn how I could possibly set up an online registration form for clients to use via a web page. I don't really know where to start, but I have seen some information on asp.net stuff. What's the easiest path?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently created a database with an FE and BE, and I want to be able to back up the BE from the FE. In the FE, I added a menu item "Back up database...", and it works good for the FE, but I want it to back up the BE, where the data is located. The reason that I like the menu item is that it opens a "Save Backup As" dialog box, and it also adds the date to the name of the database. Also it will be easier for the people that are using the db.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhat would possibly cause a "Backup Database As" dialogue box to appear? it's the same as the "save as" box and allows you to save a copy of the access file you're working on but it says "Backup Database As" at the top.
it seems to come up periodically and im not sure what might be causing it.
thanks
Hi All,
I created a database in Access and of course password protected the backend version. As a matter of course I backed up the mdb to cd in case of emergency.
Our network has been taken down due to some virus being bought in by a laptop user so I wanted to reinstall the mdb from the cd to my c: drive.
The problem is that the file is saying that it is 'Read Only' which I think is down to the password protection i put on there.
Question:
Is there a way I can get round the security?
I promise I am not a hacker!
Cheers

We are currently running a FE / BE splitted database abd would like to back the back end up (to a sepearate location) every 15 minuutes by using the On Timer event.
Troiuble is, I believe I cant use the CopyDataBaseFile method whilst other users are in it and it would be too much hassle kicking everyone off!
Manually copying and pasting is good, but would really like to crack this one
Any suggestions please?

Attached i have a Database with 3 Tables.
-Table MA's. is the just a table were you can select if an Analyst is at the office or not. so if the check box is selected the analyst is available.
-Table Backups. We have Alias which is a reference code to a supplier the 1 Analyst and then Backup 1 and backup 2
-Table suppliers are just de supplier details.
what i whould need is when in the MA's table an Analyst is not selected a macro or query should search for backup 1 and replace it. when the backup 1 is not available as wel than backup 2 should be put in place.
When no backups are availeble then a message can put in the cell like"No Backup Available'.
This result can be put in a new table named. Decksplit with then the Supplier Alias, Supplier Name, Analyst
As my database is growing and hold more and more data i want to make a daily backup to the local hard disk (it works on a network now) automatically.The way i want it to work is as follows :
When a user quits the application i want to check if there is a copy already existing with the date of today.
If it does it skips the copy process and just quits.
If it doesn't, i want it to make a backup in a directory. if the directory doesn't exist it must be made.
The backup file name must hold the date of today off course.
I realize that i have to have a procedure to delete obsolete (outdated) backups as well, but ill worry about that later.
Off course Ive tried this a few times, otherwise i wouldnt ask it here. But i seem to fail every time..

I'm using Access 2007, with what I think is a normal database that I've built up over the past month (maybe 15 tables, <1000 records, 20 queries, 4 or 5 reports and macros). I'm not an experienced Access programmer, so I don't think I'm doing anything fancy with security settings or any other such stuff. (If I have, it's surely by accident, not by intent.)
When I try to back up the db using the simple office button -> manage -> backup method, access generates a date-stamped backup filename and opens a file save dialog for me, but it ALWAYS fails to backup the database. I always get the same error message when I click save, whether I save on my machine, or on a network drive.
"Could not use '<path to the current database dir><backname>.accdb; file already in use."
This same error occurs when I create a new blank database with a single Table1 in it, so I don't think it's my database.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I scoured the net for help, but nothing. I checked various Access forums, but nothing. So I arrive here after I've done my homework... thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Access 2007 database in work environment. When one of my colleagues tried to update some records in a table, it created a backup of the database.
The issue is that the size of the actual database is much smaller than the size of the backup. However all the data are present and I don't think any data has been deleted.
But I don't know why there is a difference in size?
Some of the tables in the database are linked from MS SQL Server.
