Forms :: Restoring From BackUp
Nov 20, 2013
I have a restore from BackUp form. When the form is activated it runs this code
Code:
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Dim strRestore As String
strRestore = "C:GungogManagerBackUp"
If Len(Dir(strRestore, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MsgBox ("There are no BackUp files available"), vbOKOnly
Me.btn_Restore.Enabled = False
[code]...
It was working, but since adding the bit in red its not working. I basicly want it to look for the directory and if it dosent find it the pop up with message, but if the dir does exist then to populate the combo.

In our forms, we have managed to export a backup of our application (to accdb file) in a specific folder.
We now are trying to make a backup restore function that restores the backup (the accdb file).
However, we have some difficulties with restoring this backup in a form (like browsing for this specific backup file).
How to make this restore function?

I'm sure there must be a simple answer to this question but I have been unable to locate the answer.
I recently finished a database program under Access 97 and unchecked the boxes to allow menus. Now I need to fix a few mistakes and need to access my code or the menus to do this. Is there a way to get access to my code.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Is there anyway possible to restore a database to a former state?
what happens is that I updated some information unknowingly, now I get into my database, and I cant find some data, which I suppose i updated probably the last time I worked on a the table.
Any clues on how to handle this?

Hi
Hoping someone can help me here. I have a form which is maximised on startup which also has the min/max and close button disabled. What i'd like to do is also prevent the user from restoring the form to ie. click the restore button which then makes the form smaller as i'd like the form to permanently remain maximised.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but if not is there a way to size the form to fit the height and width of the screen as if it was maximised regardless of the screen resolution the user is using.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I was thinking of some way to backup my database.
Is there a way I can save a certain number of tables (4) to a different location on my hard drive via code? Thanks.

I recently created a database with an FE and BE, and I want to be able to back up the BE from the FE. In the FE, I added a menu item "Back up database...", and it works good for the FE, but I want it to back up the BE, where the data is located. The reason that I like the menu item is that it opens a "Save Backup As" dialog box, and it also adds the date to the name of the database. Also it will be easier for the people that are using the db.

Hiya,
I have a database which on exit runs calls the following module and backs up the database to anther folder
Public Function BackupCopy()
'This function will allow you to copy a db that is open,
'You must set a reference to the 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime' for the CopyFile piece to work!
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim sSourcePath As String
Dim sSourceFile As String
Dim sBackupPath As String
Dim sBackupFile As String
sSourcePath = "C:Database"
sSourceFile = "MyDB.mdb"
sBackupPath = "C:DatabaseBackups"
sBackupFile = "BackupDB_" & Format(Date, "mmddyyyy") & "_" & Format(Time, "hhmmss") & ".mdb"
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
fso.CopyFile sSourcePath & sSourceFile, sBackupPath & sBackupFile, True
Set fso = Nothing
Beep
MsgBox "Backup was successful and saved @ " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & sBackupPath & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "The backup file name is " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & sBackupFile, vbInformation, "Backup Completed"
End Function
but after backing up correctly it brings me the following error
"Run-time errror '424':
Object required
any ideas what might be going wrong
Cheers

Hello all,
I would like to create a module that will take a few of my tables in my database and back them up into a new database on one of my servers every day. The name and path of the database will change day by day based on the date. Can someone recommend some code...I tried this:
Dim strmydir As String
strmydir = "\Jxflpr4DataDepartmentOps TechRaw Builder ArchiveArchived" & Format(Date, "YYYY-MM") & ""
If Dir(strmydir, vbDirectory) = "" Then
MkDir "\Jxflpr4DataDepartmentOps TechRaw Builder ArchiveArchived" & Format(Date, "YYYY-MM") & ""
ElseIf Dir(strmydir, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
End If
Dim dbs As Object
Dim strdb As String
strdb = "\Jxflpr4DataDepartmentOps TechRaw Builder ArchiveArchived" & Format(Date, "YYYY-MM") & "" & Format(Date, "YYYY-MM-DD") & ".mdb"
Set appaccess = CreateObject("Access.Application")
appaccess.NewCurrentDatabase strdb
Set dbs = appaccess.CurrentDb
appaccess.CloseCurrentDatabase
DoCmd.CopyObject strdb & Format(Date, "YYYY-MM") & "" & Format(Date, "YYYY-MM-DD") & ".mdb", "tbl_master", acTable, "tbl_master"
DoCmd.CopyObject strdb & Format(Date, "YYYY-MM") & "" & Format(Date, "YYYY-MM-DD") & ".mdb", "tbl_excluded", acTable, "tbl_excluded"
DoCmd.CopyObject strdb & Format(Date, "YYYY-MM") & "" & Format(Date, "YYYY-MM-DD") & ".mdb", "tbl_allelse", acTable, "tbl_allelse"
But it doesn't seem to want to copy the tables over. I tried separating the bottom half into a new function, but it still seems to be stopping for no apparant reason. It's not giving an error message, just bringing the debugger up on the second copyobject line.
Is there a better way to do this as I'm aware this code is very messy.
Thanks in advance!

I was thinking of an idea to backup the database in a multiuser (FE/BE) environment, without disturbing the users. Please comment on it as if it has any drawbacks.
And also soemeone please help me do this, if its does not contain drawbacks.
************************************************** ********
Main Idea
What I want is to automate backup process at fixed intervals, in a FE/BE environment without disturbing the users i.e without disconecting the users. And I think it is possiblke and safe to do if we start the backup process when all users are inactive and stop any user activity or stop Frontend's interaction to the Backend, while in the backup process.
And If no such time is available as all users are inactive within a certian time then forcefully stop user interaction to the backend and start backup process.
************************************************** ********
How to:
To stop user interaction with the backend , we can close all objects (forms, reports, queries etc) and open an unbounded modal pop-up form , with no close exit button. This form can have timer and after 30 seconds or maybe 1 minute we can auto close this form so that the user can again use the application.
We can stop new logons by placing an ini file in the folder where the Backend rsides. This Ini file can contain two keys ( "lock time" and "lock status"). At the frontend startup we can query these value from the inifile to check that new logons are allowed or not, and if the "lock time" is greater than 2 minute then bypass the lock status and allow new logons. It means that something went wrong with the last backup process and the ini file was not updated to new lock status.
We can have a table or an in file store the normal and maximum time at which the backup process starts. These values can be queried and compared with the current time using a hidden form. If the normal time exeeds the current time then start looking for a state where all logged on users are inactive (i.e all objects are closed in the front end of all users). If such a state is found then warn the user that backup is going to start in 1 minute, lock new logons, after 1 minute close all open objects and then bring up a modal form that i have described in step 1 and start bakup process. And if no state is fount till the maximun time then warn all users that backup would start in 1 minute, lock new logons, after 1 minute close all open objects and then bring up a modal form that i have described in step 1 and start bakup process
After the backup is complete set allow new logons in the inifile.

I'm having trouble with some code to backup my database. I thought I'd just have some code call a batch file that copies the backend to a new location. The problem is that when I call the batch file, it opens and runs from c:documents and settings\%username%, so the relative paths in my batch file do not work.
Is there a way to have access tell run the batch file from command prompt in it's actual location? Or maybe it would be better just to copy the back end from within the VBA code. But I don't know how to do that, either. Maybe there's a way to use the Backup Database function under Tools/Database Utilities? With Sendkeys maybe? (but I don't know the code to do it).

what would possibly cause a "Backup Database As" dialogue box to appear? it's the same as the "save as" box and allows you to save a copy of the access file you're working on but it says "Backup Database As" at the top.
it seems to come up periodically and im not sure what might be causing it.
thanks

I have a small mdb database that I archive every week, usually during the archive I delete all the forms expect (logon, switchboard, and three others) and keep the tables, queries, and reports. (use the forms to only enter data, which are not needed for the archive and deleting them reduces the file size)
is it possible to have something in vb,
- that will run if its Friday 5pm
- will backup the data base to a location on a mapped drive,
- with a given file name mmddyy_data.mdb,
- and have all but the 5 forms (mentioned above) deleted

Hi All,
I created a database in Access and of course password protected the backend version. As a matter of course I backed up the mdb to cd in case of emergency.
Our network has been taken down due to some virus being bought in by a laptop user so I wanted to reinstall the mdb from the cd to my c: drive.
The problem is that the file is saying that it is 'Read Only' which I think is down to the password protection i put on there.
Question:
Is there a way I can get round the security?
I promise I am not a hacker!
Cheers

I have searched the forums and I know that you can backup data in Access to Excel or another database. What I was wondering was if there was some way to backup your data to a backup file that you could import into another copy of the database on another computer (not on network). What are the options here?:confused:

I read a lot of threads and some KB articles before this, but am still confused.
Can a copy of the BE database be made on the Server while users are logged on ? Max No. of users is 7.
Does copying a BE while work is going on lead to corruption in the database.
Right now i make a copy of the database thru code and then compress the copy for a backup.

When the user signs in I want to backup the database/tables
When the user sign off I want to back up the database/tables.
