Converting Backwards?
Jan 2, 2007
Hi.
For years several agencies have used a database written and maintained in Access 97.
One adminstartor has both 97 and 200 on his computer and no problem. Until now, that is.
When I try copying a revised front end, and opening it, I get 'unrecogized database format' message.
My hunch i sthat said administartor accidentally opned the basck end with 2000 and converted it.
So, can the back end be unconveted/reverted back to 97?
Any other suggestions?

I have an Access Database setup that sorts archery scores. I want to export a query to a specific sheet in an Excel file that is setup for playoff bracketing which has formulas that automatically advances the winner of a match to the next round.
Now my question is, am I looking at this backwards? Would it be easier to import the excel file into access? Or should I stick to exporting data to excel? I want this to be automated as much as possible to the user has to do as little as possible (ideally, hit a button and the bracketing pops up...)
If anyone has any ideas (or possibly some VBA code....;) ) please let me know.
Thanks
Steve

I have a continuous form based on a query.
The query is derived from three tables each in a 1 to
many relation to the next. (tables A, B, C)
So when I open this form (with filter A = 1) I expect to get this order:
A B C
---------
1 - 1 - 1
1 - 1 - 2
1 - 1 - 3
1 - 2 - 1
1 - 2 - 2
1 - 3 - 1
1 - 3 - 3
What I am getting is the records listed in the opposite order!
(1-3-3 on top, 1-1-1 on bottom)
Can anybody tell me why?
Thanks.

Hello Everyone,
First of all thanks alot for investing your valuable time in reading my query, I wonder if someone can kindly educate me on how to convert an access database.mdb file to an executable .exe file. Also is there a way to create an installation package to install the database to many Computers.
Thanks Again
Warm Regards,
Darno

I have a dbase that was created in access XP. We are in the process of upgrading to office 2003. For the most part the database works fine. However, I have 1 form that has a few fields that have conditional formatting
on them and when the form opens those fields flash very fast continuously all most like the tab key is being held down. No matter what I do I can't get it to stop. Has anyone seen anything like this and how do I make it stop?

This is the error i get...
This error is usually associated with compiling a large database into an MDE file.* Due to the method used to compile the database, a considerable number of TableID references are created for each table.* The Microsoft Jet database engine version 4.0 can only create a maximum of 2048 open TableIDs at one time.* Exporting a database as an MDE potentially can exceed this limit if the database has a large number of objects (table, macro, form, report, etc).
There is no accurate method to estimate the number of TableIDs the Jet database engine uses during the process of compiling a database as an MDE.* However, each VBA module and each form uses one TableID, as a result, if the database has 500 forms, and each form's HasModule property is set to Yes, as many as 1,000 TableIDs are used.

My database is by no means big, is there any other way i can convert from mdb to mde?
Thanks

I have a problem converting access 97 mdb files into access 2000. There are multiple access databases that use a mdw workgroup on a network drive. I do have the ability to log on as an admin. Access 2000 is not letting me convert the files to the new format (telling me I don't have permission). The databases do have lots of forms, queries, macros and such.
Would the easiest method be to remove the userlevel security or is it possible to get around that? If I were to remove the user level security is it as simple as loggin in as admin, deleting all user account, granting all permissions to users and admin and removing the password?
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi All
I am currently compiling an Access DB to manage my work in progress, Payments due etc.
The DB is starting to work well and have requests from fellow contractors to purchase a copy (there are over 400 subcontractors in the group), with this in mind I have decided that when I complete the DB I will take it to a proffessional programmer and have it converted to a fully standalone programm.
My question: Is there a programm format that is preferable or would C# be the best option or is there a product out there that I could purchase and use.
Thanks in Advance

Hello,
I'm trying to get a way to creat a database of my phone messages (SMS).
I have them on a .txt file and I would like to create on ACCESS (or other program) the fields "Date:" "From:" "Message:", etc.
So, everytime I introduce a day, all sms sended on that day appears, or, when I introduce a Name, every message from that person, appear.
Is that possible? Of course that I want to convert it, not introduce one bye one because I have around 2000 messages...
Thank you very much
This is a example of the .txt file I have:

I have time sheets from the past I need to enter but have found that some years the time punch minutes are given as if an hour equals 100 minutes not 60. Other years the minutes are given correctly. How do I format this field so that if I type 3.75 it will convert to 3.45 hours? Will I have to add another field to enter this and then convert to my field where hours and minutes are correctly entered? :confused:

Hi here is the original code
MAX(IIf([Book]='C',[Score]," ")) AS CScore,
Max(IIf([Book]='C',[PercentileScore]," ")) AS CPercent,
Max(IIf([Book]='C',[PassFail]," ")) AS C,
Max(IIf([Book]='D',[Score]," ")) AS DScore,
Max(IIf([Book]='D',[PercentileScore]," ")) AS DPercent,
Here is what I thought may work, but it seems like there should be an easier way
Case when Max ([Book]) = 'C' then [Score] else null as CScore,
Case when Max([Book]) = 'C' then [PercentileScore] else Null as CPercent,
Case when Max ([Book]) = 'C' then [Passfail] else Null as C,
Case when Max([Book]) = 'D' then [Score] else Null as Dscore,
Case when Max ([book]) = 'D' then [PercentileScore] eslse Null as DPercent,
Thanks

I am trying to convert a whole number to a start time w/ no luck. Assuming "0" is 12:00 AM, I have a start minute of "480" which would in essence be 8:00 AM. Can anyone tell me if I can somehow convert this to time in my query? Thanks.

Hi All,
I have a table that has fields that captures dollar amounts. I have these fields set to a default value of "0".
The tables are updated via a query that imports a csv file. Once the import process has finished, my table has blank values in some of the fields that capture dollar amounts.
If a field populated by the csv file is left blank, I would like for the field to show $0.00.
How would you recommend handling this?

When trying to convert my MDB database to and MDE database I get the following error pop-up...
"Microsoft Office Access was unable to create an MDE database"
I am using 2003 and the database is tiny at about 6 tables, 10 forms, 100 controls.
The error message help is useless but I include it here for what its worth...

I imported data from excel. The PO#'s are a number field and I would like to switch to a autonumber.
Can I get the numbers to continue counting based on my previous entries.
Currently I have PO from 150-2500. I would like the next entry to autonumber to 2501.
Let me know if this can be done. Access says you can't in 2003.
Thanks

In access, I have a database stored in a .mdb file. I tried converting to a .mde file through Tools -> Database Utilities -> Make MDE file, but whenever I do, Access freezes. Another .mdb file is created, but no .mde file is there, and when I try to open this mdb file, I get a "file not found" error. I tried rebooting the computer, but no success. Please tell me what's going on?
