I have a VB6 project that connects to a Access database. I get a run time error when I try to copy the database as a backup - "You attempted to open a database that is already opened exclusively..."
I need to be able to copy this database while it is still open. How do I work around this?
Thanks Steven
I have a shared database and at times the database name changes to db1 when somebody is working on it. It doesn't happen all the time or with specific user.
For example if my database name is Incentive.mdb it will automatically change to db1.mdb when its opened and saved.
How can i have multiple people entering data into a database, also there is an excel file that imports the info every few min, if i have that open i cannot enter data into the database. theres going to about 4-5 users plus the excel file.

It runs fine as a local administrator when using the application.
When a regular user logs onto the system then it opens with a read only message. It does not create the ldb file.
The mde works fine if launched directly as regular user or as an admin.
This same application works fine on other PCs with anyone logged on.
The application is developed locally but we have lost the source code.
One of the forms in my database has a calculated text box control. The calculation is conditional, one condition being based on current date. One of the queries display that calculation. If the the form with the calcualted control is not opened before running the query, the calculated control uses the day the form was last opened as the "current date" which is not what I want. I want to do one of two things:
Either: (Preferably): update the form everytime the database is opened, so that the current date is actually the current date and not when the form in question was last opened.
Or: Update the form first before the query in question is run. This is not preferred because, if I use the calculated control in another query or something, I have to have another "update" step.
We have a database on a PC located on our network. The database is located in this computer's shared folder. Another database grabs data from this database occasionally. We're running into a problem where we cannot open the DB located in the shared folder (permissions granted) without it being a read only instance even with no users accessing the DB.

I have the following code which errors on line
Code : .OpenDataSource Name:=CurrentProject.FullName, SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM [qryMailMerge]"
The error (Error has occurred: The database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine 'W74XXXXXX' that prevents it from being opened or locked) appears in the Word document.
Code:
Public Sub CreateWordToPDF(strWordFile As String, strPDFFile As String, strSQL As String)

Set objWord = New Word.Application
Set docWord = objWord.Documents.Open(strWordFile)

I have company names in 2 tables to compare, but the data is slightly different but same companies. I want to know what companies are in one table but not in another. Here's an example:
Company Name in Table 1 = Virtual Micro
Company Name in Table 2 = Virtual Micro Technologies
Same company, but the spreadsheet I imported for Table 2 had the full name for the company, so therefore they are not compared the same and the query result shows them to be different.
Do they have to be exactly the same, or can I compare a certain number of characters or somehow use the "like" criteria filter?

i have a form that uses a text box to search through my bookings, and when the user double clicks on the record in the listbox it loads that record in my main booking form..
this works fine. the problem is this..
i will search and find a record using the text filter.. i will double click on the record and it loads in the booking form.
i then close the booking form, and the search form is still open in the background..
if i then click on another record in the search form, i get this message..
runtime error 3008, the table bookings is already opened exclusively by another user... etc
below is the code in my search form, is there anyway it can be edited to make sure this doesnt happen.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub QuickSearch_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.OpenForm "newBOOKINGS", , , "[bookingid] = " & Me![QuickSearch].Column(0)
End Sub
Private Sub Search_Change()
Dim vSearchString As String
vSearchString = Search.Text
Search2.Value = vSearchString
Me.QuickSearch.Requery
End Sub
Private Sub QuickSearch_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.Requery
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[bookingid] = '" & Me![QuickSearch] & "'"
If Not Me.RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
Else
MsgBox "Could not locate [" & Me![QuickSearch] & "]"
End If

I have a subform inside a Form.
When I'm trying to upadate the subfrom from an event triggered by a control in Form I get the error message that subform is not opened.Why is that?
I've tried commands MoveTo or Select (subform) before update command in order to force update command to understand that subform is opened but without any result.
I guess is a common problem but I can't find the solution. :(
I have a Main Form that utilizes tabs to control several other forms by opening, closing and making them visible/invisible. One of the forms needs to be closed when its tab on the Main form is unselected. The problem is that once the form is closed, when it opens up again it opens right infront of my Main form's tab control so I need to move it down an inch to get to the tab control.
I've positioned this form where I want it and saved it numerous times. But once I select the tab, it opens up right ontop of the Main form's tab control again. I have the AutoResize set to No and the Auto Center also set to No.
Any ideas how I can get this form to stay put?
Any help is most appreciated. Thanks.
hopefully someone will know what to do...
i have a form that has a bunch of check boxes and labels that are hidden to start with,and become visible when a confirmation button is pressed. Wen i set this up in the design view i.e making their visible status = false, everything runs accordingly - however when the next person comes to update their details the form will not format properly. i think the reason has something to do with the check boxes having different visibilty statuses after the initial confirmation i therefore used code on the form open event
If Check2.Visible = True Then
check.Visible = False
End If
however this tends to fail at the first checkbox, however if i then press run on the VBA screen everything else seems to then run fine and so only the first checkbox is left visible...
can anybody help....
thanks in advance i hope i have made myself clear..
Hi

I am having a db whose back end is in a shared computer and front end (all queries, forms & reports etc) are on local users machines. On opening db first form openes is user id for login.
Now I need to do more on that, 1st step is - how to check who has the db running on pc. Then to refresh his form and send him some message (popup).
Can somebody take me through?
Hi all, I have a main form which contains buttons to control all other window. I'd like to prevent user to work on two forms at the same time. Can anyone advise me how to disable the main window while the second window is opened?
thanks
I have the code for sending an email but I only want to send a single email when there are records in a query and only when the database is first opened.
I hadn't considered this in my design so what structural requirements would it require if any?
I have a form that maximizes when it loads and that works fine, but when I run a macro to open it the command is bypassed. Is there a way around this?
I've tried setting the code to run on different events (open/activate) but that didn't change anything.
The reason I want a Macro to open it is so I can set the property to Add only, perhaps there's another way I can do that, perhaps as part on the form open event in VBA instead?
I have forms that show commitments by Client, by Cost Centre, by Provider etc.
If I add new commitments or edit commitments it is done through the Commitments by Client form, as all other forms lead back to this one.
To create a new or edit an existing commitment, it is done through a Commitment Form, which goes into a query (query A)which does all the calculations. My client form has subforms based on Query A, however my other forms (commitments by Cost Centre etc) have subforms which have querys that are based on Query A . I hope that made sense.
My problem is that If I edit a commitment, the client form and subforms refrlect the changes imediately, even though they are open and I can see them changing when I change the commitments. However the other ones don't unless I close them and re-open them.
My navigation within the database is based on once a form has been opened it is set to be invisible untill called on again (i.e. visible = False).
How to requery all the forms without having to close them.
I have main form with everything on it using tabs and so on and everything is working fine. What I would like to do is this. Since I am jumping frequently between different records and many actions require main form to be reopened or refreshed and when this happens the form goes to random records, I would like for form to go to last record i was on before it was refreshed or opened.
I was thinking using tempVars to set the id but the problem is that I am not sure what can trigger the TempVars since I am jumping between the records and not making any changes to them.
I would like to ask if there is a way so that using vba code to be able to closed any opened form in my database.
