Oct 12, 2006

We are having a problem with mulitple users leaving an Access db open and then I am not able to make new reports, etc. without calling everyone to close their session.

General :: Pop Up Process Running MsgBox And Close Automatically On Execution

Aug 23, 2013

I have a form that loads when the database is open, and the form has buttons etc. that leads to queries and reports in the database. (Queries open in a form). Since most queries take a while to load, I was wondering if there is a way to Pop up a message box stating "Please Wait, Query is running..." (or something like that), and once the form opens the MsgBox should close automatically. (The user should not have to hit Ok button.)

Most users of this database would have restricted access such that they would not have navigation pane and toolbar visible - hence I want to make it a touch more interactive when a process is running...also if someone is new to access they might not notice that taskbar status and I don't want them thinking the program is stuck etc..

Is Access 2003 The Right Program For Me?

Aug 3, 2006

Before I start on this seemingly endless journey of learning Access 2003, I thought it appropriate to ask the question;

Will this program do what I need it to do?

I apologise in advance if this is not the right place to ask the question, I am a complete beginner to Access 2003.

I want to make an electronic log book for the guys at work, there are 5 people of different trades who would need to keep the log.

A typical entry would be as follows

Mon 22/3/06 Alan Smith B Shift

Compressor house (heading)
No 1 compressor (plant)
Oil pump (component)
Filter cleaned (action taken)

Personel (heading)
John Jones (personel)
Phoned in sick at 15:00hrs, will phone tomorrow to update

Boiler house (heading)
No 4 boiler (plant)
Water vlave leak (problem)
Tightened gland (action taken)

There are many headings, probably hundreds of plant, thousands of components and actions taken

We would need to view events to particular plant or areas between certain dates, some personel would need to enter data, some would only view the data without being able to enter it, few would need to alter the data.

Is Access 2003 capable of this, should I start the journey?

regards

Sep 13, 2006

Hello all!

Please forgive me for being a COMPLETE novice at Access, but I am trying!

What I need to do, is have an ordered list, which has check boxes along side each item.

When the relevant items have been checked, I need to be able to save or export to CSV, with ONLY the items which have been checked!!

I need the list to be pulled from a seperate source (like an excel spreadsheet) so that it can be updated easily...

Can anyone help?

so...

Item 1 [X]
Item 2 [ ]
Item 3 [ ]
Item 4 [X]
Item 5 [ ]
Item 6 [X]

would produce a CSV file:

Item 1, Item 4, Item 6,

Simple enough?

Is Access Stable DB Program?

Apr 13, 2007

I believed that Access is a stable DB program. It looks like I may have to change this view. Yesterday, due to some fault in power supply (SMPS), my PC suddenly went off while I was working in my Access DB. My DB is a personal DB (single user). Today, after replacing the SMPS, when I opened my DB, Access gave a message that my DB is corrupted while it was being used last time. It asked to attempt repair with Yes/No button. I clicked the Yes button and it did nothing. In my third attempt, I was able to open my DB but I am worried whether it will work as before. Could the experts in this forum throw some light about Access DB' stability and measures to prevent corruption? Grateful for advice.

Can Access Accept An SQL Request From Another Program?

Feb 8, 2006

I have noticed diagrams showing Microsoft SQL Server accepting SQL statements sent by “SQL Requesters” over connections. I would like to know if Microsoft Access can be used in that fashion?

Put another way, can Access be configured to accept an SQL statement that another program (e.g. a VBA program in a VBA enabled 3rd party app) creates?

Currently, my VBA program instantiates an Access database object and then manipulates it (I just add a record to one of the tables), then closes and destroys it. This solution seems fragile (it stops working—I can explain more if needed). I would like to know if the technique inferred by my question would be more reliable.

Program That Document Access Applications

Jul 3, 2007

I have seen advertised a number of programs whose developers claim the program will document an application for you.

They're relatively expensive - several hundred $ as I recall. But if they work, it could save many days of headaches.

I was wondering if anyone had used them, if you'd recommend them etc.

MS Access: Logic For Point/Miles Rewards Program

Jul 9, 2007

Hi Everyone:

I am new to this forum as I recently started working in MS Access. I’m hoping someone can please help me with this query I’m trying to do using MS Access 2007.

This task is somewhat similar to a typical points/miles rewards credit card program.

The problem is as follow:

For every $2,000 of accrued purchases in a credit card, an individual will get a gift card.

So, any remaining balances over $2,000 will rollover and be added to next set of transactions, until it reaches $2,000 again. For instance, if on the first week I spent $2,500, I would qualify for my first gift card. The excess $500 would rollover and be added to the next set of transactions until they reach $2,000 again. Therefore, this would qualify me for another gift card.

So far, I’ve created two tables, one that stores accrued purchases (Promo History) and another table based on an Append Query which takes all qualified transactions from the first table and appends those records to the second table (Promo History Qualified) in order to track those qualified transactions over $2,000.

However, I’m stuck on how I would accommodate the remaining balances to be carried over. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you in advance,

marel

How To Open Access 2007 From Visual Basic Program

Nov 22, 2014

I have a fully operational Visual Basic program that uses MS Office XP and it's related MS Access. Because of security concerns, I recently upgraded to MS Office 2007 and MS Access 2007. I can open MS Access 2007 using the shortcut on the desktop and run any of the database queries. When I try to run the Visual Basic program (called prjPathfinder) and open Access 2007, it says "Error 5: The type initializer for prjPathfinder.Upgrade Support threw an exception". It then shows the first form in prjPathfinder but does not open Access 2007. What am I missing?

Program Working In Access 2007 Not Working In Access 2010 Due To Missing OCX File

Dec 27, 2014

I have a program that runs under access 2007 that I use at my work. We will soon be updating to MS office 2010 and the program will not work now because a calender file .ocx was removed from access 2010. Is there a way to get the 2007 .ocx file to work in access 2010?The program I am using is a relatively simple stand-alone and unsupported app that we use to request patient arrival and departure from various radiology tests inside a hospital. No reports are made from the app other than the number of patient transports for the day.

The app is placed on a common drive accessed from any pc in the hospital. No special permissions are required. But our app does use the calendar, time and date functions in access 2007. When I tried the app on a pc with access 2010, it basically says it (access) cannot open the app because a .ocx file is not present.Is there a way to make the access 2010 calendar file work in access 2007?

MS Access Needs To Close!

Jul 11, 2005

If I start access and try to create a new database or view any database after a second or so this dialog box saying access needs to close appears. It has only happened after I closed the program and it asked if i wanted to save the current dbase. If I view the offending database (by copying it via a pen drive) on my other computer every thing works perfectly!
I have tried the "repair program", same result. I have reinstalled the program, same result. I have totally uninstalled Office XP professional and reinstalled it SAME RESULT! As I am not a programmer I am at a loss!
