I do not have full time internet so I cannot sign in to office 365. I like to know for creating web application locally on my computer what software I have to install and how?There is special procedure for installing software's?
View RepliesHey guys,
I have just upgraded to office 2007 and was wondering if it was possible to make my access database into a stand alone application so users cannot edit it?
I would very much appreciate any help
thanks
Hi guys,
I was given a task to make an application that will enter/monitor job assignments of our technical staff on a daily basis (roughly 15-30 assignment per day), so I created a table which has all the fields and it worked well.
So after the dressing up the database, I split the table and saved it on our server, copied a FE on workstations but the data is not refreshing the way it supposed to be, what I want is whenever a user accessed the application data will be refreshed on diff. workstation in real time.
Can someone point a link on the forum regarding my problem or can someone help me to solved this problem from ground up?
Thanks in advance.

Hello all
I got a chance to make some extra money outside of my usual job.
I am creating a billing system for a plumbing business. It's pretty easy and shouldn't take me long to do. The only thing is I'm not sure what to charge.
Anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance
I'm trying to create a database whereby employees within a business can select their name, or scan the barcode on their ID badges, to clock in and out of work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI read in the book (Access 2013 inside out), one of the way to distributing access database is creating an application shortcut.
Now i have an Access 2013 file on my computer (with office 2013 and windows 7) other users have office 2007 and windows (XP) on their computers. now i want to give a copy of this file to other users without save as that to 2007.
I would like to know how i can do that with creating an application shortcut , if it is possible because in the book I could not find the way if there is?
Hello,
I just got set up with access to a bunch of linked tables with information from our catalog--I work at a library. Most of the library will be using this to run reports, mostly premade reports. I, however, want to take the information from the tables to fill in the gaps in my own access database. I really couldn't care less about their premade reports.
I have been unable, however, to figure out how to save those linked tables locally. Because they're linked (with the green globe icon), I can't delete the records I don't want. I want to delete them because otherwise the file includes all of our books--I only want our journals--a MUCH smaller number. I have tried copying the table and pasting it, but it simply pastes another linked table. I also tried to copy the structure of the table only thinking I could cut and paste the records I wanted into the new table, but that didn't work either--the full data is still there.
I wrote our IT people, and I got a response suggesting that I not delete anything, because deleting records would mean the reports I run would be inaccurate. That is exceedingly frustrating, because I've talked to him several times about my wanting to just take the information to make my own database complete. I don't care about running reports. I don't need to run their reports for my job--and when I do need reports, I make them myself from my local files.
The reason I need to have my own local copy is because I need to match up fields with my local database, and the fields need some minor editing first in order to match up. A simple matter--if only I could get a local copy.
So, does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

I have just split my multi-user DB into Front end and back end. All appears fine apart from there is code in the autoexec module that checks to see if a particular table has been updated today. Basically the first person to login to the DB each day will run this procedure without realising. Now I have FE & BE however, because the query used by the autoexec module is a "Make table" query rather than delete all data and use an append query, every person logging in is running the update each day if it is the first time they have logged in on their PC and they are getting a local table on each of their computers. Is there any code that will create the table in the networked location (when the first person of the day logs in), rather than me having to change all my "delete table" queries to cleardown data and then re-append updated data?
There are quite a lot of delete queries in my DB and I am now worried that I shouldn't have split the DB as I may have caused myself loads of work which I don't have time to do.
I have looked on other threads but cannot find the answer and would greatly appreciate some help

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have an extensive reporting application in Access and would like it to be available through a web application. I've went down the road of migrating this application to SQL to use SQL Reporting Services; this is a good tool but I am wondering if MS Access has an easier solution for me other than migration to SQL.
I'm looking for a solution that will make these reports available over the web for many users. Price tag is a consideration...need to know if there is any.
Please help...thanks in advance for any thoughts!!!!

Hi
I don't know ASP at all, and I know very little about the Internet.I do know JavaScript and VB6 among other things, so I am not a complete dummy.
I have a webpage on a webhosting company's ftp (they host asp) and my html file is working, but my asp file won't do anything (should I be calling it with the javascript from my html file?).
What I want to do is make a list of the top 10 players of a game.
My questions:
1. how do i get my asp to display anything?
If I use my winXP IIS I can view ASP files. But from this ftp the computer just asks me if I want to run the file or save it and then opens my interdev program. Please help before I throw this computer out the window and I don't get to see your message.
2. Should my access file be 2.0 or 7.0 or whichever?
3. I use this code (from a tutorial) to connect to a database,
but it doesn't work.
[code]
<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.open "DSNname"
%>
What is DSNname?(In VB6 it is the name of the data control), but there is no such thing here, is it the mdb file name?
I think I will have many more questions but for now I'll stop here.
Thanks
After 2 days of searching I am sick too my stomach from not finding what I needed. I simply do not understand how it is possible that everyone, including Microsoft, assumes people just know stuff.
I have been wanted to read text files within an Access DB. The DB will extract key words and store them into fields. This is all very simple if I could get the rotten VB to read the files. I wanted to use the object My.Computer.FIlesystem, and all the others associated with that library. But going through the hundreds of possible references, I haven't a clue to which one has that library.
No matter where I went too look, not a single line, post, page listed how to reference it. Only how to use the function. So frustration.
My current reference list is as follows:
Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Access 11.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft DOA 3.6 Object Library
Microsoft ActiveX Data Object 2.5 Library
If someone can please help.

Hi,
My question is...is there any way to get Access to work out the actual day of the week from a date entered into the computer? The reason for this is...I am designing and implimenting a bookings data base for a village hall, and I wish access to automatically store what day of the week it will be on the specified date, in a field called 'Day'. I need this field to produce a report for the week ahead, showing exactly what is in on which day of the week. Is there any way this can be done? Or do the days just have to be typed in manually, i.e. check a calendar and type them in? I would appreciate it if anyone could give me info...on ANY way this can be implimented...be it store the dates in a table or use a giant Iif statement or whatever! And the tags necessary would be helpful,
Thank-you for your help in advance, and i apologise for such a lengthy post!
Please get in touch directly through c.majury@ntlworld.com or alternatively post the answer here.

I am trying to create an Access database that can be used to configure computers for sale in a small pc repair shop.
What i need it to do is have drop down boxes for different parts, each part having a value, and at the end being able to update the total value depending on which parts are selected.
I have tables with different types of CPUs, Motherboards, RAM, etc etc... each table has description and price values ( a couple more for relational stuff but i don't think that is needed to figure this out ) Just to test it out i have a form where i can go through and select the different products, but i am stuck on the adding of values of the different computer parts.
So anyway, i am trying to take prices matched with values from multiple tables, then add the prices all together at the end for a total value, like any of the pc configurators online.
If anyone can help, greatly appreciated, if i make no sense just ask to clarify...

In my Frontend, i use parameters like:
1) computer name
2) a certain file's existance
So i'm sure that the front end is being run on an autherized computer.
i have hardcoded these values in the vb code and password protected the project so that no one knows about it.
what other parameters can i use to stop the front end being run from any other computer else than thoses allowed.

How would I get Access to autopopulate a table's text field with the user's computer name when they enter data into a form? The user shouldn't have to enter this...
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi -
I have a form used to enter criteria for display of records on a subform. There is a refresh procedure that is used to update the subform. This procedure is called on load as well as after changing any of the criteria.
This has worked fine on multiple computers running both Access 02 and 03. However, one of my clients has a machine that seems to choke on this procedure. I get the following error message -
"2455: You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property Form/Report"
The procedure called is:
Private Sub RefreshSubform()
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM qryProjectsCases"
If Not (IsNull(BuildFilter)) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE " & BuildFilter
End If
' Me.frmsubProjCases.Form.RecordSource = strSQL
' Me.frmsubProjCases.Form.Requery
Forms!frmCaseList!frmsubProjCases.Form.RecordSourc e = strSQL
Forms!frmCaseList!frmsubProjCases.Form.Requery
End Sub
The error occurs at the line where I try to set the record source property for the subform. Note there are two commented lines, this was the original code and experienced the same error. Both methods of referencing the form generate the same error (on this one particular machine - both work on the other machines).
The function BuildFilter generates a SQL string based on the various criteria on the main form. I have even tried setting SQL to a constant, but still get the error.
I have checked to see if the References are complete, but don't find any missing.
Any suggestions?

The problem I having is if I have a computer name of a computer on our network (not the one I am running the database on), is there a way using VBa to find the details about this machine.
For example if the computer name is 'DTP002133' I can click 'start' then 'search for files and folders' then click 'computers' in the search for other items. This search will give me the computer location and comments. I would like to be able to automate this process within my database.
Not sure if this one is possible but thought I'd pick you brains...
Thanks
