Hi!!
I am creating a dbase which can be accessed through a lan
Would like to know whether it is possible to have a chat window EMBEDDED into the dbase; whereby multiple users can chat and modify database accordingly....
Prob simple, but the access help doesnt offer much support
Your efforts will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Can u just create a small sample for the same??
Hello
Has anyone ever made a code to enable users to chat to each other in real time to help with transfering calls etc within the organisation?
Many thanks

Hello there,
I'm trying to develop a database for an organisation for their partners....see attached. I would like you to take a look and tell me if what I've done is the right thing. Secondly, (I'm just learning Access) I would like to have a query that give a count of 3 how many CBOs, how many NGOs; by 8 (location). Third. Is it possible to have (sub) grouped into expertise?
The mission and vision field was a multiple answers field, is this the way?
Thank you in advance,

I need to export ms access table to dbase III format.
When I use export something is missing and the file format
is just not good.When I try to open dbf file with
program Dbase I get message "not a dbase database".
I find out that excel do the same, so if anybody know
how to export to dbase III using ms access or ms excel
please help.Ms access help is to install borland database,
I downloaded some from Internet but I don't know what to do with it.
PS: Even when I import dbase III file and try to export it back
there is a problem.
Please, please help.
Okay,
First I was thinking to write a little app in Access to work with a DBF file, that I assumed was a DBIII database. It was exported via a 3rd party software, and the primary interface up until this point has been Visual FoxPro. My problem is two fold:
1st:
When I tried to import it as a dBase III file, Access just closed. I mean, disappeared, no longer running, closed. I didn't even get an error message or anything.
So I tried to import via ODBC, using a "Machine Data Source" Microsoft Visual FoxPro Database (or table, either works) and selected the directory of the dbf file and selected the table listed once it scaned the directory and all imported fine.
So: If the Visual FoxPro Machine Data source worked, though I am confused why the DBIII driver just booted me, I am now concerned as to how I would write a connection string via DAO to access that dbf file at run time.
Basically I want to go to a static location on a network and access a dbf file, and perform query manipulations upon it. My connection will be READ ONLY to the actual DBF file and i would subsequently use MS Access to create any other relevant tables/queries based on the table in the dbf file. Since the Visual FoxPro MDS diver worked, do I need to write a connection string to access it, and if so, how would I do that?
Thanks

I'm trying to create a little dbase for personal keeping track of a number of companies I deal with, so that i store their details and also the products they distribute.
In more detail, I want to have 'fixed' product categories, which will be assigned to supplier, and each category will include the product models I have set, including their details (such as price, manufacturer, country of origin, etc).
My point is to be able to create several customised reports and listing:
1. All product models I have in a category including their details.
2. Report per supplier to view their details and the products they distribute
3. Certain product models in a list with their local distributor (companies I deal with).
I assume it involves a couple of many2many relationships, however I have created a file in MS Access but never managed to have it work properly.
Any1 have an idea, or template maybe?
Regards ;)
Hi,
I've searched the forum for a sample code on how to automatically shutdown database at a given time of the day, but i can't find any. There are lots of codes pertaining to inactivity / idle users but none on scheduled time.
My idea is to kick-off all users every 12:00nn, Monday to Saturday and then compact / backup database after.
I hope someone could assist me.
Thank you!

I have been married for 36 years. I really don't want a diorce, but I think I might have to in order to get access to work for me. It appears to get the best way to get D base to work with access it to get divorced and remarried, ha. We have tried several ways to get import data into access from a Dbase IV file. We have tried by a Dbase import and a text delimined file import. We get a subcript out of range. There seems to be several issues here. One of them is if you have numbers in a dbase text field, and try to import them intp access, the documentation and access says we have to put quotes around the numbers. That didnt work.
Actually, rather than going into great detail of what we have tried, let me just tell you that we cant import the file. Can anyone help? We have the folling type of filds in dbase: date fileds, text field with numbers, and numeric fileds. Please help.
:mad:

P.S. I am happily married, so i would prefer not to go the marriage route with dbase.
Hello guys,
I am working on a database that requires a user (with very little access knowledge) to export a table into .dbf (DBase IV Format) using a button and VBA.
I realize this can be done by right clicking on a table and click export. However I did not give the end user access to the tables (being a good DB Developer!) and also I don't believe I can teach this particular user how to do the steps to accomplish this.
The scenario: Third party software needs (SwissSys, which is a chess software) to grab information about players and ratings from a .dbf file (and will not work with access). I have developed a database for the association so that they can edit players information, and update the ratings directly off the website (www.chess.ca) and it automatically updates in the database.
The idea is, the Access Database updates the ratings from the website, and then the user exports that data into the dbf file (players table) that is directly linked to the third party software.
I am looking for a way to use VBA code to either 1. Create/Overwrite the existing dbf file when exporting the tblPlayers, or 2. Append/Update the current dbf file with the updated ratings, and creating new entries when necessary when exporting the tblPlayers.
Unfortunately I have had little success in finding code to export to a dbf file, anyone have any ideas?
Can anyone help please

I am trying to replicate a database for mobile working. When I attempt to 'create a replica' I get this error:
"MS Access can't convert to design master
Cannot make the Table "[TableNameHere]" object in tables container replicable."
The table in question is fairly large and has 248 columns and is linked to 3 other tables of similar size as well as 3 smaller ones. Got about 2000 or so records and set to cascade deleted and updated records. 248 columns should leave enough spare columns for replication though, shouldn't it?
Any suggestions as to what I should look for to fix this?
This mind sound like a pretty lame question to the pro's....
Is it possible to duplicate an Access database creating a new blank database - retaining only the database/table structure? I have a website content management system and I want to duplicate the database for each new site.
Also, is it possible to reset the 'auto-numbering' to zero?
Whilst I've build a reasonably advanced web-based system based on a database containing a dozen or so relational tables plus queries, I'm no expert on advanced Access functions.
Cheers!
Penny.
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

I've been asked by a friend to extract approx 50 images that are stored in a dBase 5 'DBT' file.
I know Access can import dBase 'DBF' files, but is there a way that I can use Access to import the data in the 'DBT' files and convert to jpg format?
