Recommendation For Access DB Access
Apr 3, 2007Server OS is Windows Server 2003.
IIS version 6.0
Access version - Access 2002
We have an old CAD drawing list Access database with 54,000+ drawing descriptions in one table, with one search form and one result form. The engineers use it to keyword search the descriptions to find the CAD drawing number, then go to the drawing cabinet to pull the drawing, which may not be the one they wanted. I was asked to make their life easier, since they have a lot of the drawings in .TIFF format that can be loaded to this server. My first choice, which works for me as an administrator, was to add a button on the results form that would extract and build the file name for the .TIFF file, then use the following code to open the drawing file so they could look at it to see if it had what they wanted.
strFileName = "http://webservername/Engineering/CADdrawings/sect" & strFolder & "/" & strSection & "d_" & strNumber & ".tif"
stAppName = "C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe"
Call Shell(stAppName & " " & strFileName, 1)
This works okay for me, but not for the engineers who would be IUSR_servername logins, or Browsers, I think. As I've read over the last several days this is not a good way to do it, but I have had no luck using the .asp option mostly due to the new security "enhancements" on Windows 2003 and IIS 6.0, which I know little about. I can't get around the 800a1eba error when the page tries to open the database.
If the direct Internet Explorer option is not the best way, is the .asp option the way to go or is there another way that I haven't stumbled on yet? We don't have an SQL server I can bum space off of, so I am limited to this web server for any options that are open. I just need to be pointed to the proper option for this application.
Thanks,
Greg
Best Book For Access 97
Oct 4, 2005I allready looked at what was recommended in this forum - but I noticed there are only two books listed.
Are both of these books good for beginners or is the Access 97 Bible better? I have seen about a dozen of books and would like to have a few on hand to learn from and to reference as my skills increase.
I truly am after something that can give me a breakdown of the code in Access and what each line really means and the action it produces.
Thanks in advance,
John

View 2 Replies View RelatedAccess 97 Dont Works
Aug 16, 2005I have installed on my PC, WindowsXP sp.1, MSaccess versions 97 and XP.
After I have tested some databases, MSaccess 97 don't works successfully more, but XP version works good. I can't modify files mdb. Access works like in run-time mode: bars and commands reduced, standard icon of access absent, database window absent, ecc.
If macro autoexec or a form that play at the start of mdb are present, mdb works but it is impossibile to modify it. Otherwise mdb dont works, I can see access window with only menu files and window.
I have removed access and after yet installed it, but it don't work successfully.
maybe other application leaved files (or modification in file registry) that install procedure of access97 cant rewrite? And that dispose access 97 to work in run-time mode (or like)?
I am hopeless. Can You help me? Can you give me a list of files to remove, or list of modification to do in registry?

Access Reformats My SQL - And Then It No Longer Works!
Apr 5, 2006Situation: I have written a fairly straight forward nested query which aggregates sales & activity data (num_calls, date, etc.) by customer specialty (CODE_ESP_ACC1) in a single query. The SQL I have written to achieve this is as follows:
SELECT Q002.GP, Sum(Q002.Num_Calls) AS Total_Calls
FROM (SELECT Q001.CODE_ESP_ACC1, Count(Q001.ACT_ID) AS [Num_Calls], Iif([Q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MG" or [q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MF",1,0) AS GP
FROM (SELECT [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACT_ID, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].TER, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACC_ID, [11 Physicians with main specialty].CODE_ESP_ACC1, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].DATE
FROM [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM] LEFT JOIN [11 Physicians with main specialty] ON [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACC_ID = [11 Physicians with main specialty].ID_ACC
WHERE ((([06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].POSITION)=1))) AS Q001
GROUP BY q001.code_esp_acc1, Iif([q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MG" Or [code_esp_acc1]="MF",1,0)
HAVING (((Q001.code_esp_acc1) Is Not Null))) AS Q002
GROUP BY Q002.GP;
This works absolutely fine. I can save this query and run it many times without problems. However, if I then re-enter SQL edit view, Access reformats it as follows:
SELECT Q002.GP, Sum(Q002.Num_Calls) AS Total_Calls
FROM [SELECT Q001.CODE_ESP_ACC1, Count(Q001.ACT_ID) AS [Num_Calls], Iif([Q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MG" or [q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MF",1,0) AS GP
FROM (SELECT [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACT_ID, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].TER, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACC_ID, [11 Physicians with main specialty].CODE_ESP_ACC1, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].DATE
FROM [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM] LEFT JOIN [11 Physicians with main specialty] ON [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACC_ID = [11 Physicians with main specialty].ID_ACC
WHERE ((([06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].POSITION)=1))) AS Q001
GROUP BY q001.code_esp_acc1, Iif([q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MG" Or [code_esp_acc1]="MF",1,0)
HAVING (((Q001.code_esp_acc1) Is Not Null))]. AS Q002
GROUP BY Q002.GP;
... and this no longer works (syntax error in FROM statement).
To save you sifting through the SQL, the error is caused by Access replacing the soft brackets () aroung the outermost FROM statement with an object identifier-style hard bracket []. - specifically, the outermost SELECT statement now reads
SELECT Q002.GP, Sum(Q002.Num_Calls) AS Total_Calls
FROM [
instead of
SELECT Q002.GP, Sum(Q002.Num_Calls) AS Total_Calls
FROM (
and the alias for the subquery reads
]. AS Q002
instead of
) AS Q002
Changing the Access alterations back to my original fixes this problem - so the problem is more an annoyance than a disaster. However, I have no idea why Access is doing this to my query, nor how to prevent it from doing so. Does anybody have any experience of this behaviour in Access and any ideas of how to fix it?
Help! Replies appreciated.

Need Your Recommendation
May 21, 2007I just started to learn Access, especially query. May you recommend some practical free online learning website(s)? Thank you!
View 2 Replies View RelatedMulti-User Recommendation
Mar 10, 2006I maintain a database that is used by several people in my office. Only about 4 different people actually use the database but I would like the database to have multi-user support. As of right now the tables, forms, modules, etc. are all in a single mdb file. Can someone recommend a method for making this database accessible to several users at once? My main concerns are accuracy (changes commiting in the proper order) and low chance of corruption.
View 1 Replies View RelatedConnecting To Multiple Databases - Performance Recommendation Please
Nov 29, 2006Hey Access people...
Does anyone know if it is better as a general rule (server performance wise anyway) to connect to a single database with many tables or multiple databases with fewer tables??
In this case I have a small calendar database and large navigation/metadata database -- both are MS Access & connected to the same ASP page.
Can anybody make a recommendation here??
Many Thanks!!
Best Book On VBA

View 3 Replies View RelatedBook Recommendations?
Aug 1, 2007Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good book for learning more about Access?
I have basic experience with the programme, but am hoping to tackle the old 'questionnaire/survey' issue. A lot of books I can find on amazon seem to be set at such a level that I can already do (multiple tables, simple queries and reports), I need something a little more in depth. Others don't seem to tackle the specific issues I'm going to face (although I could be wrong about that!). Also, as I usually don't bother with computer manuals (I generally pick up and play with new programmes) I don't know which ones are best (e.g. Microsoft own, 'Dummies' etc)?
EDIT: I'm using Access 2002.
Thanks a lot!

Phone Book Problem
Nov 23, 2004Here is my setup:
In Acess 97 I have a single data base with 5 tables, Attorneys, Employers, Health Care Professionals and two others. All tables have exactly the same fields.
I am trying to create a “phone book” made up of all the records in the data base. The form for this phone book has only a few fields such as fname, lname, phone, address. It also has the autonumber field. The record source for the form is a Union Query. When I open the form it works well. I get lawyers, employers, doctors , etc. all in alphabetical order.
Here is my problem:
I have a command button labeled “View Record.” I want to be able to click on this and have it find the record in its original table and open the form for that table so the record can be modified (on exiting the record I have it requery so the phone book is updated).
I can only get this to work with one table at a time, that is, the table that is named in the event procedure code. So if I am in, say, an Attorney record and tblAttoney is named in the event procedure code, all works well. But if I am in, say, an Employer record I get a blank Attorney form opened.
How can I get it to trace the autonumber to the proper table and open the record . I assume that the autonumbers are unique ACROSS all five tables since they are in the same database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[HELP] Adding Book Copies To Book_copy Table
Mar 21, 2008Ruralguy suggested that i made a new thread - so I'm taking his advice (H)
I've got another problem, well not problem..i want to make it more user-friendly.
Database= 21238 (Look for yourself see what i mean)
(rename to .RAR if it doesn't open)
Basically, when the user adds a book, they can add it easily..
the only problem is, when ..just say i want to add a book, and I have 10 copies of this book, I have to add the book first and the go into the ADD_BOOK_COPY form and then select the book which i want to add more copies of and click add - i repeat this for the total amount of copies that i have.
So if i had 10 copies of 1 book, i add, and then go into a seperate form and then click this button 9 more extra times.
Which, can cause headahces!
So basically, i'm thinking of implementing a new way to do this,
i was thinking about..
When i got to add a book, there's a List/Combo box with 1-20 into
So i can add the book, and then select how many copies, click 'add' and this will add 20 copies of that bookm firstly by adding it to the 'book' table and then adding 20 copies to the book_copy table..
Is there anyone who would like to help with this? :' )
Cheers btw! :)

A Query About A Book Management System Isn't Working
Mar 1, 2008Hello !:)
I need to make a SQL query in Microsoft Access.
The database is in French but you will easily understand, if not please ask me to translate.
You will find the MDB Access file inside the attached ZIP file.
The query I need to make is ::rolleyes:
We want for the next sent of books to the members of l’EST-SUD (WEST-SOUTH in English), to test the equivalences of the books.
We want to send for each book from the “genre” (theme in English) “Animaux” the most expensive equivalent book, we want to give a list with the original book, the recommended price (PrixCons in the database) and the most expensive equivalent book with his price.
-“NoLiv” is the book number in the database.
-“TitreLiv” is the book name (title) in the database.
-“NoGen” is the theme (genre) number in the database.
-“NomGen” is the theme (genre) name in the database.
-“PrixCons” is the recommended price for the book.
This is the query I tried, but it isn’t working ::confused:
SELECT DISTINCT *
FROM LIVRE AS L, EQUIVALENCE AS E
WHERE L.NoGen IN (SELECT G.NoGen
FROM GENRE AS G
WHERE G.NomGen IN ("ANIMAUX"))
AND E.NoLivEq IN (SELECT LI.NoLiv
FROM LIVRE AS LI
WHERE LI.NoLiv IN (SELECT MAX(LIV.PrixCons) AS [Prix Max Livre Equivalent]
FROM LIVRE AS LIV
WHERE LIV.NoLiv=LI.NoLiv))
