Cannot Create New DB From Templates On 2007?
Mar 23, 2014
I cannot create a db from a template in 2007, either from a local one, installed with the program, or downloaded. The online ones download with no problems, but as soon as I click on "create", I get the message: [QUOTE] "Template 'xxxxxxxx.accdt' could not be instantiated." it goes further to say "The table 'xxxxxxx' could not be read from the template file. The object may be in an unrecognized format or contain invalid data." [UNQUOTE]. I have read through everything I can find on here, and searched the internet repeatedly. Some places say that certain .dll files are not registered, but after downloading these files, I am unable to get them to register. I have uninstalled and re-installed the entire Office suite, and run the Repair tool 3 times, but to no avail. The files are stored in, and downloaded to, a Trusted location. Templates from 2003 will work, but not 2007. I'm at my wits end now.

Hi everyone
I am just about to start a database project for the company. The last one I wrote was over 10 years ago in Borland's ObjectPAL and has served us well.
After doing quite some research I have decided (well... almost) to use Access as the basis for the new project as I need the most efficient and 'slick' solution in the speediest time-frame (don't we all!).
The downloadable Templates from MS seem actually quite good as a starting point, but we would need to 'glue' them together to prevent replication of clients, prospects, employees etc.
Has anyone had any success with doing this? For example, we would need to integrate Marketing Projects; Customer Service; Sales Pipleine plus our own custome stuff besides modifying these standard templates.
Looking forward to your replies
Regards

I need to display the out put of a table as chart in ms access 2007. My table is as below.
ItemID
Week 1 Value
Week 2 Value
1001
87
5
1002
80
1
1003
42
1
1004
55
164
In the chart X co ordinate should be the "ItemID" and the Y co ordinate should be the week number (eg, week1, week2 ...etc). Is it possible to display the chart with the above table? Or do I need to transform the table and then dosplay as chart? Also can I transform the above table as shown below using a single Transform query ?
ItemID
Week
Value
1001
1
87
1001
2
5
[code]....

Running 2007. In 2003, to make a shortcut for an object, all I had to do is right click and place the short cut where i wanted.
I can't seem to find anyway to do it in 2007
Anybody have any clues?

Hello everyone,
I just surfed in from google :)
I'm on a bit of an access learning curve and would like a little assistance if possible?
I created an access database for my uncle a year ago to deal with orders and delivery notes etc...
now he wants me to upgrade it a little, but i have no idea how..
What i want to do is:-
the database is quite simple in thought, really all i require is:
customer form (to add new customers)
products form (to add new products and change stock levels etc)
Create order form
Job sheet form (same data as create order but formated nicer)
delivery note (again same data as create order but formated nicer)
Currently when creating an order customers and products are entered manually which is very time consuming and prone to human error.
i would love to have a form that you can select customers & products from a dropdown list.
in the future i would like the stock levels to change as orders are raised but won't look into that till i've had a long read of some books
would anyone care to offer some advise? or link to a template?
many thanks
john

Hello all,
I have an assignment that needs Access 2002 but I have Access 2007. The template I need is called the Mailing List Template. Is that available for Access 2007 or do I have to get a computer that has Access 2002?
Thanks.

Check around and can't find anything useful, more of a case of can't see the woods for the trees really :p but here we go:
I doing a very simple form which I want to output to HTML (directly), it work fine and is ideal for what I need but I want to use a template to alter the colours and add a meta refresh tag but I cant get it working.
Help file next to useless so I wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction - Is it a css file ? or can I use a html file ? I've tried with both but still no joy :(

I am working on a dataBase and I need to have it check if a set of tables exist based on the data of another table and if any do not exist create the table(s) based on a template. the caviat is that the data in one table are both names of tables and field in another.
Table1 has fields named 'first name' and 'last name'; the data in that field is for example Peter Adams, John Smith. I need to check on start that the tables named PAdams, JSmith.and so on exist, if not create them from a table template with fields 'vacation', 'personal', 'sick, etc. also i need to check on startup that a table named Department exist; if not, create it with fields named PAdams, JSmith and so on.... is that possible?

I want to make a simple FrontEnd for my database for users to open reports to print them. I don't want them to mess with the linked tables or queries feeding into those reports. I want the front end to display a list of every report in the database that they can load up and use.

I'm trying to make a simple program to automate timesheet templates. Each of our staff members work on a 4 weekly basis (week 1, week 2, week 3 and week 4). I currently use a word document with the template in and copy and paste it into the timesheet. The timesheets run from the 23rd of one month until the 22nd of the month after. The issue is the four weekly template doesn't fit the same every month so I am after an automated process.
I'm thinking of having forms to select a staff member and change their hours on the template, if you will, and then a button to create new timesheets where admin staff would just need to add the first date (ie 23/09/2013) and the timesheet would be made for each staff member and auto filled with the four week template.
My main issue is I'm not sure how to link the dates to the weeks in a table. I have attached a word template of my own hours.

I'm using Access 97 and have merged the 'Event Managment' & 'Contact' templates. I thought that I would need to make 'Contacts' and 'Attendees' as the same table.
My knowledge is limited and attempts to change to 'AttendeeID' means I lose the ability to log 'Calls' to people.
Is there a simple way of combining the functionality of both databases given my limited ability in using access?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Adrian

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?

I am trying to create a form to enter data in a table. I would like to make it pull in info from a switchboard. If the record already exists I would like it to find it and allow me to edit the info. If the record doesn't exist I would like to be able to add a new record with the data input. What is the best way to accomplish this?

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.

Will I be able to convert my database directly, or is there some way I can convert it indirectly. ie by converting it to an earlier version first?

Hello everybody,
I would like to hear your oppinion about new MS Access Jet db engine
I've been working with MS Access still 10 years, since version 2.0. I used to use MS Accesss for companies size of 10 pc users, and for any bigger company, I used MS Access as front end and MS SQL Server as back-end.
I bought recently MS Office 2007, with MS Access 2007. Before that, I read in one computer journal, that new, Access db Engine is completely made from scratch. And that this new engine is so good, that there are no needs to work with , for example MS SQL 2005 express.
Also, I read, that during development phase of MS OFfice 2007, Microsoft development teams SQL Server and MS Access in Redmond, USA, fought among themselves, about is there need for Jet db engine, or not.
Engineers working in MS SQL development team, made a pressure on Microsoft board, to remove Jet engine from Access, as you can take MS SQL express for free, but on the other hand, MS Access dev. team, replied that new Jet is robust at least as MS SQL express 2005.
So, my question is: what do you think about it, is new Jet db engine, really so good and robust in MS ACcess 2007 ?
with regards,
Z

I've been using Access from the beginning, (well v2.0 actually) and felt quite competent. Lots of clients using various versions, still as far back as 97 - but keeping them maintained.
I just got 2007 - and the UI is leaving me totally cold !!
Is there any way that we can have a 'classical view' of menu options etc in 2007 ?
It is taking me ages just to do simple things - as I'm trawling around looking for the options or commands - is there a simple guide to this ?
Also finding a no of things that won't work - again - is there a summary of differences anywhere ?
TIA for any help
Phil
