Access :: DB Crashing

Access Keeps Crashing - Help!

May 1, 2005

I don't know if this is caused by Access (2003) itself, or somethign else, such as the JET drivers. Whenever I load up anything in Access it crashes saying I can repair it and restart access... no matter what I load.

Also, it seems other programs that connect to a database only retrieve 'nothing' from the tables and queries. I'm quite confused, any help would be wonderful right now.

Running on Windows XP SP2 with Access2003

Database Crashing!

Feb 23, 2006

I've come across a problem with my database, I�ve tried everything I can think of, and I�m still no wiser as to what�s causing the crashes. I hope someone can shed some light on what the problem might be.

I've created a database that uses a switchboard to navigate through the various forms, the switchboard is loaded (using the start up options) most of the database objects are switched off (like display database window), apart from 'allow full menus' and 'allow default shortcut menus'.

This reason I�ve given you the above information is that the error only occurs when the database is loaded through the start up options.
If I open the database bypassing the start-up options this error doesn't occur.

Now to the error:

I have various forms that have a button that will attempt to send an e-mail, its set up that the email doesn't send automatically but allows the user to edit the email before sending.
When the e-mail is created using the code below, and the user decides to cancel sending the email by pressing the 'close' button on the email, the database will lock up.

The first error message I get is:

The sendobject action was cancelled
You used a method of the DoCmd object to carry out an action in visual basic, but then clicked cancelling a dialog box.
For example, you used the close method to close a changed form, then clicked cancel in the dialog box that asks if you want to save the changes you made to the form.

The second message is my error trapping for cancelling the email, and then after that the form loses focus and I can't do anything to the database. It's still running because I have a clock on my form that�s still ticking away.

The only way I can close my database is to 'ctrl alt del' and 'end task' it. When I do this I get another error message saying

You can't exit the database now
If you are running a visual basic module that is using OLE or DDE, you may need to interrupt the module

And then the database closes.
I've noticed the crash only occurs when the 'display database window' option is turned off.
When its on then my error trapping deals with the closing of the email.

Private Sub MailCreditReport_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_MailCreditReport_Click
Dim stDocName As String

If Me.Dirty Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Else
End If

stDocName = "rptCreditAuthorisation"
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, stDocName, acFormatRTF, , _
, , , , True, False

Exit Sub

Exit_MailCreditReport_Click:
Call ReportError
Exit Sub

Err_MailCreditReport_Click:

Select Case Err.Number

Case "2501"
MsgBox "User cancelled Sending E-mail(s). Please Resend", vbExclamation, "Sending Stopped"
Exit Sub
Case Else
Resume Exit_MailCreditReport_Click
End Select

End Sub

I've tried various things with the code like DoCmd.CancelEvent, but nothing seems to make any difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Would Like Some Help With Crashing Database

Oct 30, 2007

Anyone,
I posted at the begining of this month with an URGENT post and had a lot of help off some of you guys. My database was corrupting and crashing and I had a lot of help of rural guy and others. By the finish of the two days I had compiled and decompiled my database and lots of other little tricks to try and make it a bit better.

At the end of the two days the database was up and running but I had to delete three of my forms because the VB Script that was attached to them forms would not delete. I managed to get it working but I am now having further problems.

Althought the database is useable without these forms I can not re-create them. I have tried importing them into a new database, compiling them then importing them into the FE, but it still crashes. I have also tried just creating a new form and starting from scratch but it will not let me create a new form from scratch. It runs very slow and still crashes on development. my Back-end is working fine.

Does anyone know of any common errors that may be causing these problems. I am now in discussions with my boss because the only thing I can think of doing is starting my FE front scratch.

Any sugggestions

My Database Has Started Crashing! HELP!

Sep 22, 2006

I am a novice database user and I built a small job tracking database for a small construction company. For the last 2 days, Access has become very unstable and I am getting the "Sorry but Access has to close" message shortly after opening. I have tried the "repair and compact" utility but no change and it still crashes. Is there other troubleshooting procedures that I can use or can you recommend someone to do the repair work?

Bound Reports Crashing DB

Dec 1, 2007

I've redeveloped my DB so that all forms are unbound. I did this due to a multiuser environemt of 30 or more users.

I left all reports bound because there were fewer than 10 concurrent users running them at any one time.

But... I'm finding the DB crashes when a second user runs the same report concurrently. Maybe its data binding overload?? Would setting the underlying query recordset type to snapshop overcome the problem??

I appreciate any ideas

MS 2000 Access Application Is Crashing

May 30, 2005

My MS 2000 Access application is crashing and returns a msg something like this: "Your Access application caused an error and Access must be closed"
This occurs only when I execute some forms; always the same forms cause the problem.
Somebody told me to copy the .mdb to another place in my HD and change the names of the forms.
I did it and it always works well!
Any good reason for that?
My app is not yet splited in FE and BE. Splitting would help?

Thanks a lot

Novell Server Crashing Because Of Access 97

Apr 27, 2007

Hi. I have been fixing up some access 97 programs on the computer systems at my work. The main changes I made was creating a search function using a query behind a form to search the database (no more than only 90,000 records). I am running a novell server. The data tables are in a database on the server. The access program on the desktops have their own access database program that use linked tables to the data tables on the server. The following is my issue:

Apparently, some of the changes I made to the searches caused the server buffer to become full and not flush itself. Anytime I was working on creating the fixes, it seemed to make the server crash. I 'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem with access 97 running on a novell server and causing any buffer issues. Any ideas on how to prevent the server from crashing?

Access 2000 Crashing When Using Frontend - Help.

Jun 28, 2007

Hi all, 1st post. I'm and Access n00b I'm afraid, so take it easy. I normally use php/mysql, but have been roped in to fixing a broken access database.

I've got an Access database, and a fileserver is holding the data (mdb file), but I've got around 10 machines which access the database thru a frontend (mdb file).

Now, this has been working fine until today, where I am trying to view one table (Orders), and access bombs out. It shuts down instantly with no warnings. It does this on every machine, so I think it is a database problem. I can view the data if I open the standalone data file, but I cannot view the data thru the frontend.

I need to fix this asap... what's causing the crash? I didn't make the front end, but if I could look at the code, I may be able to see where it's failing.

FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker) Crashing Runtime Application

Jan 31, 2006

I'm attaching the code for a function that's attached to a button that allows the users to export data from a form to the directory and file of their choice.

This code works when we're just running Access, but we need it to function in runtime, and it just crashes with an entirely uninformative "runtime error" message.

I didn't write this code, but looking at it, it seems to be just a copy of what's in the MS knowledge base about the filedialog function.

I also never write my own applications using runtime (the program we're running this is was contracted for our lab), so I have no idea why this would be failing in runtime but not in Access. Can anyone help?

General :: Module Crashing After Changing Window Mode In Macro

Sep 10, 2014

We have been calling a main form to manage yacht races using a hyperlink/macro from a selection form which lists all the yacht races ..The main form was too big to fit on some screens so we changed it to pop up mode to allow it to be resized and use scroll bars. this works well when the form is opened manually and all functions run just fine

the hyperlinik/macro for race selection had originally been set up to call the main form in dialog mode but we have had to change this as it disabled the resizing of the form and the scroll bars..The macro tool doesn't offer pop up mode so i selected window mode = normal and the main form opens with a resizable window and scroll bars but all the functions called from this module now fail (error message = use of null value or similar and all the functions go into debug mode - the server is down and i can't access the system to get the exact details)

If i change the macro in the selection form back to window mode = dialog the functions work but i lose the resizing of the main form and and the scroll bars.

Calculated Field In Access Query Contributes To Crashing Excel Table Upon Import

Oct 24, 2012

I have a simple calculated field (As "Ratio") that is readable in Access 2010 query, but crashes in Excel upon importing/running the query in an .xlsx table.

ERROR MESSAGE in EXCEL: "The query did not run, or the database table could not be opened...check database server..contact your database administrator.."

I am simply taking the cost amounts of each project record (shown as "Record Cost") and dividing it by the "Total Cost" of that project to render "Ratio".

The Total Cost is retrieved from another table.

Testing scenarios:
If we exclude Ratio, the whole query import just fine.
If we filter the query to one project (i.e. "Project A") the ratio field imports fine.

However, the whole unfiltered query does not with the ratio!

Other testing scenarios:

If we use a constant for the denominator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. recordcost/1) the whole unfiltered query and ratio field imports fine.

If we use a constant for the numerator AS "1" in Ratio (i.e. 1/totalcost) the whole unfiltered query upon import crashes in Excel.

This is a mock example of the dataset, the actual query has 50K+ records:

Project Service Date Record Cost Total Cost Ratio
A Welding 1/1/2012 $100 $120 83%
A Plumbing 2/1/2012 $20 $120 17%
B Welding 1/1/2012 $50 $75 67%
B Plumbing 2/1/2012 $25 $75 33%
C Welding 1/1/2012 $40 $61 66%
C Plumbing 2/1/2012 $21 $61 34%
