I have a database on a remote computer that has several reports that can be generated. Is there anyway to create a PDF of one of those reports and download it to my main computer?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 'm downloading the excel data from the site and connecting it to access.
In excel the particular column (Time Taken) is in the format of "00:12:26".
After connecting it to access and appending it to the table, the format changed to "12:12:26", the first two digits changed to "12" and the remaining are as it is how it looks like in the excel. I need to change it to format what it looks like in the excel.
We have an Access Database split between front and back-end. The BE is 50Mb and the front about 60Mb. We have a requirement to provide access to the database to our other branches all of which have broadband.
I have been trying to find out the best way to achieve this over IP as we do not want the considerabe expense of leased lines. Originally we tried VPN but access seems to be very slow and appears to prohibit that route.
We were advised by our PC support company for one branch to use Terminal Services. However we do not currently have a powerful enough server to support these. We have a price for a server upgrade and it seems OK. I have since been advised by the PC support company at another branch that because of the upload speed on broadband (256Kb) Terminal Services would not be sufficient especially if we were using HTTP and VoIP over the same connection.
Looking at the various posts on this site it would seem that VPN and TS are suitable for some. Is there an easy way of calculating whether or not TS will work at our site? Has anyone gone down this route and found it not to work?
I'd be grateful for any feedback.
Thanks.
Hi everyone, I'm just a newbie in DB programming and I'm having a trouble:
I have a database located in my IIS server: "c:inetpubwwwrootwebapplication1dbs1.mdb".
I'm also developing a VB6 app in another computer which will access to my IIS server to get data in my database. I'm using ADODB, but I don't know how to establish the connection as well as to get the data from the server (remote machine).
Can anyone in here help me by showing an example in VB6 code?
Thank you very much, any sugestion is welcome

I have a database on a server that is accessed by mobile clients using laptops (broadband)
when out of the office. They use'virtual private network service' to do this.
(I did not set this up, I just design and program the front and back ends)
However some report a slow response time when retieving data from the database file.
Would 'Active desktop' be any quicker?
Any suggestions on how they might speed things up, would be most welcome
'Replication' comes to mind but I think their data must remain up to date at all times.
I have an Access database on my server. My client does not like the idea of having to download the db, make changes, then upload it back. In the past, he has dealt with SQL databases, where you can create an access data project, that will give you a desktop shortcut straight to the database. I was wondering if there was any way to do something similar with an Access database. There is FTP setup for the site and all required permissions are setup. Is there any way to create a desktop shortcut, so he can edit the database in real-time, without having to download and upload? Thanks for any help.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have developed an application for a friend. We live about 100 miles apart in the UK. The database (Access 2007) works perfectly for us, I input data from various sources and he views the reports I've designed that show him exactly what he wants to see.
Now I want to move to the next phase which is I enter data from my PC at home and he then views the reports on his PC at his home.
Any advice on how I can do this, at low cost,
Hi,
I am doing some computer work for a company that has an Access 2000 application. This app is split up between a program database that contains the forms, reports, etc. and a data database. Both the program database and the data database are located on a Windows 2003 teminal server. There are usually two or three remote users logged into the terminal server, but this number is about to increase to 6 or 7. I am concerned that these user's will all be running the same copy of the program database. I have read that this can lead to performance problems.
I was wondering if anyone hear thought either of the following would be an improvement:
1. Put a separate copy of the program database in each user's profile on the terminal server.
2. Rather than keeping the program database on the terminal server, put a copy of it on each of the remote client pc's. Then set up a VPN connection to the server and use this to link to the data database.
If anyone could tell me if either of these options would lead to improved performance, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
HiI currently have an Access Database in a BE/FE, server/client LAN architecture at a single office location. My client would like to allow one user to 'add new records' to the database on the weekends (i.e. after hours), without needing to come into the office.From my research, it seems I can setup Remote Desktop to connect from the client's home PC directly to the server PC, across the internet, using Windows XP Professional on both computers. Is it that simple, or should I be considering other things?
View 5 Replies View RelatedGood evening,
my web site (in hosting) stores data in a SQL Server database.
Now, I've and import these data in an Access application and, of course, I've no direct access to SQL Server instance.
I thought about using Web Services. Does anybody know how to do, or has an alternate way?
Hi,
I am finishing an Access database for a customer that may want, in a later stage, to have a website(probably ASP) that would connect on the same database. Is that possible? I mean can an Access project on a pc connect to remote database(mdb or SQL server) used by the website?
If so can you give me some quick steps to do so or a good article on it?
Thanks.
I've just split a database into the front-end and back end components. But how to distribute it further.
Additionally, I need people who have the front end to access the database from their homes, not just from work.
What would I need to use?
Is there anything available for free?
I am making a database to coordinate the activities of my band (how rock and roll!)...
Is there a way I can somehow host the file remotely, and have users (4 total) access that file through their own computer using access, so they can write, edit, delete records?
We have a db at my work that we use like this, accessing from multiple computers, though this is on a network drive.
I have a database built using Microsoft Access 97-SR2. I want to copy it to another computer (my office computer). I was successful in burning the file to a CD-R disc. However, when I run the database from the disc, a message appears saying its READ ONLY-it apparently makes it Read Only automatically. I want to be able to change and edit the data and the controls, ie. forms, reports, etc. on the other computer. How can I transfer the database my other computer, without it becoming Read Only?
Any help would be appreciated

I'm using Access 2007 which I built a database that runs queries off of tables using ODBC. The database is all done in ms access, I've used no visual basic programing on it. I'm now trying to move a copy of the database to another computer's local drive in the office. When we try to open it on the other computer it gives me an error that says "There was a problem sending the command to the program" and Access hangs, which I then have to run task manager to end the program.
Specs Are: Windows 7 64bit (the db was created on Windows 7 32bit)
Microsoft Access Version 2007
Moving to new computer, both under Win XP pro, Access 2003. New computer is MacBook Air running Parallels. Transferred Access database via an external hard drive. Now the data shows up as Read Only. Is there a procedure to run down the cause and make the data accessible?

I have a table with a load of hyperlinks to documents on the company Intranet i.e
http://aanet/IMPROVE/02-02/IMPROVE-02-02-03.doc
is there a way using VBa to download the file to a local drive?
I have tried the following to no avail, and searched on MSDN, but can't seem to find any help.
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile <Hyperlink>, "c: empfolder est.doc"
I found this a while ago and have been trying to get it working in access which I have been able to do....

I've been looking around and it seems to be impossible to connect to an mdb file on an ftp (for Access 2002 and below). I'm using Access 2003 so does anyone know if it's possible in this version?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
Got my job database going quite well, at the moment, it generates a job number form the first 4 letters of the customers name, and the ID (autonumber), so for example mr smith's job number would be SMIT0012 (assuming the 12th entry in the database)
Now this works fine, tables are linked and the database access the tables via a mapped network drive for other pc's (2) to use. But the problem is, if the database user were to be at a remote location with a laptop, how could this work? I could use a local copy of the tables but then of course the ID's wouldnt match! Can anyone offer any ideas on this?
Thanks
I have an Access database which we inherited and it has linked tables (2 database files, one with data tables and one with forms, queries etc) - the links being set to a path on our local company server. We are in the process of opening another company office in another part of the country and we want to use the same database system. I have taken a copy of the database, cleaned out all the existing data out and now need to send the blank database to the new office. Is there a way of forcing the database to reset its table links when it runs in the new location (or pre-defining the paths before it is installed)...rather than my physically having to go to the new office to use the Link Manager when in situ.
I wondered in fact whether was a way of holding the required path statement in one of the tables so that the links could be easily reset on any future installation. I do not know how to code anything like this or set it up - I am new to Access databases
Could anyone advise please.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm sure you gurus have an answer for me.
I have a MDB (MS Access 97 db) on a shared drive. All my data resides here.
I have a local MDB (MS Access XP db) on my hard disk. Currently, I have queries located on the shared MDB that puts out a table. I then execute queries on my local DB, linking to the table I have on the shared db.
My requirement is this.
1. I want to be able to run queries against the shared db from the local db.
2. When the create table query is run, I would like it to create the table in the local db. I can live with creating the table in the shared db, but local would be better.
I'm sure that this can be done. I've seen it. But, that has always been a client/server system.
Thank you.
