My database is opening much slower than normal just over the past few days. When I run a performance analyzer it is telling me that my database is only being compiled in a partial state. How did this happen and what do I do to fix it??
Thanks...
I have a database with a table that contains 360,000 rows. I built a form with four boxes where a user can specify values to limit the result set. And instead of having a new window open with the results, I built a subform and placed it on the main form to display the results.
Here is how it flows:
Main Form -> user enters search criteria
Search Criteria -> feed as criteria in query
Query Results -> display on subform
Subform -> shows on main form
The query is setup to take the values from the main form and either use it if it's not null, or return all values if the field is null.
The problem I am having is that on opening the main form, Access is taking the four null values from the main form search fields, feeding them to the query, which is then feeding the subform. So 10 minutes later when the main form finally opens, I have 360K records displaying in my subform.
What I would like is to be able to open the main form instantly, specify my search criteria, then run the query, then have the query results populate the subform.
What do I need to do?
I have had to use my first crosstab queries.
I now understand that when opening and saving crosstab queries Access (2010) runs that query to ascertain the column names. Unless you hard-code them. Running the query takes at least 20 minutes.
I have hard-coded where I can, but one report takes arbitrary dates so I can't hard-code them.
I believe that turning off AutoCorrect might make a difference to whether the query runs - but I don't want to turn it off.
Hi,
I have a database for booking equipment in and out.
I have the backend stored on a shared drive on our LAN, and the front end on each client machine.
The database has been working fine until just now, it runs very slow and my DCount functions have stopped displaying data.
I have no idea why this has happened, please help?
This problem is driving me nuts!!
I`ve just spent a fair few months creating a database to be used by our sales team, I`ve about finished it and came to trial it with the sales manager. When he is using the database at the same time as me it becomes slow.
The design has a front end with all the queries, forms etc and a back end on a server containing the tables.
The database was created using Access 2000 and was designed to replace a similair db created on 97 which has a decent speed on the network.
The other strange thing is that one particular macro that I`ve been using for the speed tests runs quite slow (about 3 secs) when 2 pcs have the db open but once the macro has run if it is run again it takes typically less than a second to run.
What would cause a db to run a macro at different speeds after they`ve been run once? I`ve tried everything I can find on the net to try and improve the speed to no avail.
Help please!!
Hi everybody,
I have an access database which is around 40 MB after compacting it and I feel that it is slow especially when I open cross table form. Is there any way to speedup the databse.
Note: my databse is on the share drive in my work.
The database response is significantly slow when our application requests data over a network. Are there any settings to adjust network response? The network is connected via a T1 line.
According to information I've found online, our application is the front end to the database and the database sits open on the server.
I have two databases, one is much larger than the other, but both have the same start up code. The larger database opens quickly, but the smaller database takes forever. I tried compacting and repairing the front end and the back end of the database, but that did not help. Any ideas on how I can speed this up?

On occasion my access database all of a sudden begins to operate very slowly, I notice the queries take a much longer time to run.
Last week it suddenly began to operate very slowly after idling in excess of 30 mins
Today when I change the screen to design view and then back to form view once again it begins to operate very slowly. (yesterday was working fine on my desktop at home, I have not made any changes to the database with exception to saving and using the file this morning on the shared drive at work) If I shut down and re open it operates well but once again changing to design view causes the same issue. Sometimes compact and repair rectifies sometimes not.
I recall reading somewhere (fairly recently) about a parameter or property in Access which is "On" by default and allows a form/query to identify when backend table field names or query arguments are changed and automatically looks for and "fixes" the renamed link. By leaving this switched ON, the database is slower than it could be. The db speed performance can be can be improved significantly by switching this 'feature' off. (i.e. Name of the property)

Hello,
I have been working on a database back and forth and home and at work. Today I saved my database from home and onto my computer at work. The database is not opening here at work. It works fine at home. When I attempt to open it, it tells me Access has encountered a problem and needs to close and it closes.
I tried the Compact and Repair.. Access still shuts down on me. I made a new empted database and tried to import the tables and forms into it.. Access still shuts down on me.
It's getting frustrating because I've been trying to get this working for 3 hours now with no success.
Here's a little problem I have and wondered if anyone knows a way around it.
I currently have many databases that I have created for work and they are quite happy running away doing what they are meant to do on a 2000/NT setup, we will soon be switching to our parent company's network 2003/XP/Citrix which is presenting me with the following problem and we do not have any control over how this is run.
We can no longer create desktop shortcuts to the databases as current, they will place 1 database in the start menu and would like this to be used as the database menu so that all databases are launched from this.
So I am trying to launch access databases from within an access database (Access XP), here's what I have tried so far
Shell - works when I use full MS Access but does not work in Run Time versio n which is what the users will access, shows no error, it just beeps and does nothing.
SendKeys - %fo<FileName>.mdb~ - again works in full access but not in Run Time as RT does not have 'open' in the file menu.
FollowHyperlink - this actually works but I can not get this to open the new database as a full screen window, this requires the user to either run everything maximized (not ideal as some forms are designed to run side by side) or for them to resize the main forms.
Are there any other ways to open a database from within access RT version that will open the access application full screen?
A ex-coworker created a .mde database, but didn't save the .mdb version. The .mde version has been working fine, but today it closed when the end-users tried to open it. It looks like it tried to open the start up form, but it closed. I was able to get into the database and launch the second form, but the start-up is the issue. What could cause the start-up form to keep the database from opening?

The problem: I have my database set to open a form on start-up. On opening that form I put in a command for a message box. When I click OK on the message box it tries to open the form again which leads to the same message box. I need to somehow get to the design view on start-up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bob

I have a question.
I have a button on a form.
When I press that button, another database should be opened.
I tried this:
Dim dbMyDB As Database
Dim rsMyRS As Recordset
Set dbMyDB = OpenDatabase("C:DocumentenJohnnyStyle_be.mdb")
Set rsMyRS = dbMyDB.OpenRecordset("nslArtikel", dbOpenDynaset)
But it didn't work.
Thank you very much in advance...
Good afternoon,
When I'm trying to open a back end database which was previously created is MS Access 97 it gives me the following error;
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
I have tried running the "Compact/Repair Function of MS Access 97 and MS Access 2003 to no avail.
I have tried converting the back-end to Access 2003 as well but I still get the same error message. I can link to the database tables from an Access 2003 database fine with no error message!!
Has anyone got any suggestions before I have to take it offline and rebuild the back-end and then copy the data across from the old one?!!!
Hello,
I have a wierd problem I am hoping someone can help me with. Our company database is stored on the server.
The problem is that I can open it when no one is in at and then they can all get in after I open it.
If everyone else is in it, I cannot access it at all until they close out, I open the file and then they can get back in.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Dianne
This is probably very simple and I feel I should know how, but I'm drawing a blank. How can I launch an external database when I click on a button?
Thanks
I have a weird problem with one of my databases. Out of a sudden, when I wanted to open that database the databse window did not show up anymore. With this I can not access my forms, tables etc. any longer. However, when I click on View->Databaseobjects and choose e.g Forms than I can click on the code icon and I can access my code as well as the corresponing form in the design view. I can not access the tables but when I click on the "show fields" in the design view the list of fileds is showing for the corresponding form.
I tried that database on 3 different PC's with the same effect.
Does anybody have an idea what could have caused that the database window is not showing anymore and/or how could I bring that window back.
Thanks for any help and advice

I am creating an order processing system and am using 2 tables
OrderHeader
OrderLines
The OrderHeader table includes the number of orderlines on the order.
I want to ensure that when a user completes the order lines they don't up in a line number greater than the number of lines and want to programatically get the number of lines from the order header table.
The form links to the ID of the order header table by using a combo box, which works fine and I can even display the number of order lines in the combo box.
I don't know how to use an ADODB recordset to query the current database.
I can't use something like :
objConnection.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:filesdatabase.mdb"
which i see all over the place, because I don't know where on the PC this will be running on it will be stored.
There must be a simple way to find out a value from a field within a recordset of the current application database?
Any ideas?
I am hoping someone out there will be able to help me figure this one out! I have a database I just created which houses approximately data on about 500 physicians/practitioners - from their personal info to information regarding their licensures, liability coverage, and DEA. In order for us to be compliant with administration and government criteria we have to monitor expirations of their license, liability, DEA, and other things. We do this by sending letters/e-mails out 30 days in advance of expiration dates (which is a field in my database). What would really be great if when I bring up my database it would automatically give me a pop-up saying these licensures are expiring in 30 days and send out reminders. I am a rather new user to Access but I do recall a few years ago hearing something about databases that have crystal reports??? I am not sure if that is the same thing or not.
I do have parameter queries set up from date to date but it sure would be impressive if I could get it to do the above. Or maybe another way to do this. Any suggestions????????? CMElady in :confused: distress!!!
Thanks.
Hi There
Im probably being thick, but...
ive just upgraded our sales database from access 97 to access 2002. everything is fine apart from when i try to open the database twice on one machine - it wont allow this. In access 97 this was allowed and i normally had atleast 3 databases (all the same database) open at once.
is there an easy answer??
many Thanks
Neil
Hi,
I tried to search the forums for an answer but I still can't seem to solve the problem.
I receive the "Not a valid bookmark" error message when attempting to open my database. I have tried the compact tool through access and also jetcomp but it just brings up the same error message on access and says "error compacting database" on jetcomp. Can anyone provide a solution to my problem in order that i can either open the database or else retrieve data from it?
Many thanks, any help appreciated
Jon.
I have attached the database in case you have any software which might be of use.
I was exploring using User-level permissions on databases so I, the admin, can have full permissions to edit/change etc. the database and certain users can only add/edit data. But I inadvertently have now set Access to ask me for a password for any db I open. Even if it's my own personal one. Can I set up Access to only ask for login info on certain db's, not all. I know that 2010 did away with User and group level permissions but was able to add it back through customizing the ribbon and adding this feature back to it.
