Calling All Access 2007 Pros
Mar 5, 2008
Hello,
I am having a heck of a time getting a Dell laptop with a WIRED connection to connect to an Access 2007 database.
After foolishly connecting to this database wirelessly, I took the wise advice of members here to never connect an Access database using a wireless connection due to Access' fragility.
But now, even when this laptop is wired to the network, it takes a VERY long time to reach the database. And lately, it fails to connect due to a network failure.
The database is hosted on a Windows Vista Home Premium OS. Two other XP SP2 machines can see and connect to the database perfectly. But this laptop (also Vista HP) cannot see/connect to the database.
I'm totally stumped! I have no idea as I'm not really sure about Vista. I know that Home Premium has much better network access than Home Basic, but this type of simple connection shouldn't be so burdensome.
Has anyone else had this problem? If not, can anyone suggest a route to take ?
Thank you for your time!
Mike

Hi All,
I need you guys help on this one. I have a form that captures customers. There is a command button to opens up a report for that specific customer of their expenditures (it runs off of a query filter). Some customers have expenditures; some are new ones that have no expenses yet. Since I have over 10K customers, instead of clicking the command button for each record in the form to find out if the customer has expenses with us or not, how do I create a textbox that will tell me that if I have records in my expenditure report, then YES, if not then NO. This will save time in clicking for review purposes.
Thanks in advance guys and I hope I didn’t confuse anyone.

On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce
2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format.
3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ...
4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help:
"ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
I have turned off DEP.
How can I get MS Access 2007 to import Excel?
Thanks
Ken

I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features.
Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing!
Help!
I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?

How do you use a button on a form to call another access program? We have 8 access programs that we want to be able to call from one form.

When I click a button, I am creating a table for a mailmerge and then calling the document that merge is in so I can write letters.
Everything works properly except the line for calling a document. I've messed with it in several ways but right now it tells me I need an equal sign. Can someone who actually knows VB (I'm just pretending! ) look at this and tell me what might be wrong?

My title may not accurately express my question. If you can suggest a better way to do this, please feel free to elaborate.
Within Access, I have an "Invoice Number" table, with a single field containing a number. I have a function that accesses the table, increments the number and returns it to the invoice number field.
I need a way to perform this same function to the same table from within WORD.
I appreciate your time and interest.

Hi all,
I have quite a large select query that pulls in Date values from different tables. The end result is a list of records, where each record has 7 types of dates, put in columns A, B, C, D, E, F, G. What I need to do is, for each record to compare dates in those columns and put the LATEST one of them in the column MDATE.
I've tried using IIF function, but it grows exponentially with the number of values involved, and it can only handle 5 values before its cause error "too large". Alternatively I thought I could write a function to return the max date and call it from within the query, something along the lines of "select *, fnMaxDate(A, B, C, D, E, F, G) as MDATE from tblBLAH etc". The function is:
----------------------
Public Function fnMaxDate(a As Date, b As Date, c As Date, d As Date, e As Date, f As Date, g As Date) As Date
Dim Temp As Date
Temp = Nz(a, "01/01/1901")
If Nz(b, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = b
If Nz(c, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = c
If Nz(d, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = d
If Nz(e, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = e
If Nz(f, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = f
If Nz(g, "01/01/1901") > Temp Then Temp = g
fnMaxDate = Temp
End Function
----------------------
I've put a break at the start of the function, to see what it'll come up with but when running the query it didn't appear to call it. All values in MDATE where #error.
Can someone advise me, please, on the best way of picking the LATEST date? I'd also appreciate it if you tell me why the function didn't get called, as I was quite certain it is possible to call user defined functions from within the query.
Cheers,
Kat

I've written a function which opens the Outlook GAL dialog, allows users to select recipients and passes back a 2-D array (recipients and type i.e. To, CC or BCC).Here is the code :
Code:
Public Function GetContactsFromOutlookGAL() As Variant
Dim appOutlook As Object ' Outlook Application
Dim objNameSpace As Object ' Outlook NameSpace
Dim objSelectNamesDialog As Object ' Outlook Select Names Dialog
[code]...
The only problem I have is that when I 'display' the SelectNamesDialog, it doesn't make it the active window and bring it to the front - it just opens the dialog in Outlook and you have to navigate to the main Outlook window to find it.I'd like for the dialog to 'popup' - ideally, without the main Outlook window dragging along behind
I believe it's possible (judging from this article) to achieve this using API's - specifically, a combination of FindWindow (to retrieve the window handle) and ShowWindowLong (to set it to a topmost window in front of all other windows).

So Access was unable to manage the amount of content that I needed to produce in a single report. The reports contain 12 charts/graphs all of which I needed on separate pages (one chart per page). As such I could not create large enough charts in access to fit to each page, as Access limits the amount of space one can use in a report.
I downloaded Microsoft Reports Builder 3.0 and built my reports as needed and can generate them as desired at current. I'm wondering if there a way to call that RDL file I created to generate my reports from a form control button in Access?

Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.

Hi All,
Background Info: I developed our main department's Access 2003 split database which is on a server for 15+ Users. I've now been given Access 2007 for development -- Users still have 2003. There are also 2 other smaller databases that are not split (.mdb).
Problem: In the split database, I've saved the Application .mdb as 2003, relinked and made a new .mde. But the Users still cannot open the database. (I did this in a copy until I figure out the nuances with 2007.) The 2 other unsplit databases can be saved as 2003 version and Users can open OK.
I'm grateful for any suggestions on working with Access 2007. I've been trying to tackle the ribbon which is a whole other question.

I have created a database in Access 2007 that now works well, and one that I'm quite proud off. However, I can easily convert it to an Access 2000 format as can anyone else here, but when I load it up there is a major problem.
I have used the tab control in my main form and that has three tabs on it. However, it's positioned correctly in Access 2007 it's not positioned correctly in Access 2000 as I have to move the tab control down a bit, but that would seem fine. So I lowered the tab control form and changed my form layout slightly, but even then the tab control over all over the Access 2000 form whenever I interact with the tabs - most bizzare.
Any help? Thanks.

I recently heard that Access 2007 ( part of MS Office 2007) can be purchased as a stand alone program. This sort of confirms that : look at pricing breakdown on : http://techrepublic.com.com/5254-6257-0.html?forumID=99&threadID=174062&messageID=1961442&id=3053951
Anyone done this already ?

Hi,
I have downloaded Access 2007 trial, but I don't know how to use some of its features. When I try to open any of my databases saved as A2000, it displays a security message. "Security Warning: Certain content in the database has been disabled"
Is there any way to disable this message?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
