How many records does MS Access 2003 hold, i.e. is there a limitation & what is it?The toolbox greys out after being selected on the Menu options even though Tools/Startup/allow built-in toolbars is selected - how to activate the toolbox in 2003 version?
View RepliesToday a guy who has done some Access programming told me that an Access table has a limit on the number of records.
Whereas I was thinking the only limit is the 2 gig size.
Which one of us is correct here?
(Access 2003).
Hello all
I was wondering if there is limitation to the number of IIf statements that can be nested in a calculated field.
Basically I need to assign a particular ‘label code’ to a record that will be derived from data with in several fields within the query. The data from the table (that the query is derived from) will be completely deleted and recreated on occasions, meaning I can not write data back to the table as it would be lost when the re-creation happens.
There is a possibility of many derivations for the ‘label code’ (maybe up to 100) so the nested IIf code will be substantial.
If there is a better way to do what I want I am all ears however I am not a VB programmer so would rather stick to doing within the query design grid, or SQL at a stretch.
Anyway the main focus to the question is there a limitation to the number of nested IIF statements.
Example preliminary test code:
Thanks in advance for any help provided regards.

I am creating a database relates to hospital medical equipment using Access 2003. Using VBA code, I want to generate an AutoNumber for each Equipment falling under different Equipment and different Hospital.
Ex: DGG-ECG-001
DGG-ECG-002
DGG-XRY-001
WBH-ECG-001
WBH-XRY-001
WBH-XRY-002 and so on.....
Where DGG & WBH are Hospital Codes (PK in tblHospitalCodes) ; ECG & XRY are Equipment Codes (PK in tblEquipmentCodes) ; last 3 digit denotes the AutoNumber.Both the Hospital & the Equipment select using combo box then generates the AutoNumber Using command Button.
I have a form that supervisors use to input employee accountability for each day. Once supervisor completes the input, a command button is selected and records are appended to an archive table and then deleted from the "live" table. End of the month, reports pull from the archive table to tally absences.
The problem: when a supervisor submits the daily status report but resubmits the report do to an input error I now have two records for the one reported date.
How do I pull the end of month report without including an earlier record for a duplicate date? Is it possible to have access overwrite any records previously submitted for that day?
Hi,
I'm actually concepting a new site about travelling, in this web site people will be able to post the stories about there travelling (in french its called 'carnet de voyage') So lets say i will let limite texte to around 2 pages and will let upload 15 picture (but have a mini picture and a big picture, so in fact its 30) and i will limite weight for big at 100ko, but pictures is not uploaded in database.. only the link to the uploading file..
The language i want to use is asp and want to use an access database.
My question is considering that if my web site would become 'popular' and let say i have 200 hundred members who have post there stories. it would do about 3000 entries on pictures, and let say that 100 peoples looking at stories at the same time, is this gonna slow down my database or even crash it?
ps: im canadian (french) so sry if my english is a little bad, i have do my best to explain clearly.

I have a website writen in ASP and connected to Microsoft Access.. Why several people is telling me they couldn't find my website, it's not working. But they didn't tell me what is the error are they getting..

is there a way to have both Access 2010 and 2003 exist peacefully on the same desktop. My company uses Office 2010, but my department has an Access 2003 application. As a result, I have to have A2003 on my desktop and use it quite frequently for this one application.
I have some small databases that I really want to move onto A2010 so we can take advantage of SharePoint functions, etc. Is there anytning I can do to be sure that the .mdb and .mde open in A2003 and the new .accdb opens in A2010, without getting errors and the Windows installer going through the Office installation process for the respective version? I've gone to the file locations and set the "Open with" setting to the respective version.
In the company whe are migrating from NT4 with Access 97 to a XP And office 2003 enviroment.
This couses some serrius Isues.
one of them richt no is a Multi usser DB. 2 systems of XP and only one of them is able to run the DB. both instalations are the same. ... the DB is tested on more XP systems. but so als it seems only one person is able to run the DB at a time..
But a few can't run the DB at al.
the Software on all systems is the Same Image so there is no diference between OS and Office.
Who already migrated from 97 to 2003 and had isues with migrating..
like these.
.. on the department whe have 15 + diferent DB's in 97. and the Main developers of these DB's ore the IT department is not going to fix this.
Our database is in access 2003. It has a form which has a button to send email of orders. I added a new user in this database. That button works in all other computers in the network with the same user permissions as this user, in his computer when he select to email Order it does nothing. It does not open the new email page in outlook and the outlook email is configured in his computer.

The attached tables come from a RB I am making, I can run the SQL and it works, I have failed to create form or report tha enables users to simple use a button to invoke that code.
Several people have sent answers but I have not made them work, the tutorials that I have looked do not explain with simple examples that I can follow.
It is a simple linking based on one Column in Both the Table.The problem is One Table has "11 Lakh Rows other 2000 Rows"..Actually I am not sure weather the computer is getting hanged or Not as I wait for 10 min still when I am not able to see any update I End the access.
How can I know if it is working or hanged ? (errors like memory overflow will not come after I wait for an hour or so)
Can I use DLOOKUP instead of linking as I want it to be one on One link ?
I am relatively new to Access and I was wondering if there is a way to automatically respond to delete table prompts when running a macro.
Currently I am running a macro that takes about 2 hours, and sporatically asks 'are you sure you want to delete table x'. I have to check on it every 10min or so to respond 'yes' or it will pause the macro. Quite a hassle if I am busy with other tasks and forget to check it.
I am redesigning an invoice format with access 2003 report.While coding in Microsoft Visual Basic, I realized that there are two drop down menus.
The right drop down menu has the sections as below:
Detail
GroupFooter1
GroupFooter2
GroupHeader1
GroupHeader0
PageFooterSection
PageHeaderSection
Report
ReportFooter
ReportHeader
The left drop down menu has options below.
Format
Print
Retreat
May I know where can I read up the purpose and use of different sections in the right drop down menu, especially "Report" section?
Are these sections in-build in Access 2003 or created by user?
I currently Have this form setup in 2 sections. The first section includes 2 text boxes for Eligibility Number (field name = EligibilityNum) and the second for School (SchoolName). The second section is a subform called sfrmSchools that includes all the eligibility numbers, schools and other useful information.
I have created an Access 2003 database from a ledger. The main key is an eligibility number that corresponds to a school. There are over 2000 schools in my database. How can I program Access to automatically find the record (eligibility number or school) if I type it in the first section. For instance if I was looking for a given school with an eligibility number of 5670A0324. If I type in '56' I would be taken to those eligibility numbers with 56 to show. Same for if I typed in the name of a school. If the school I wanted started with 'D', I would be taken to them.
I know how to put things on to the clipboard, DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
I just want to view the current contents of the clipboard in access 2003 using vba.
I Found this code whilst searching for a solution:-
Dim DataObj As New MSForms.DataObject
DataObj.GetFromClipboard
MyString = DataObj.GetText
But it needs the Microsoft Forms2 Object Library
This is not in the list of references, how to get it?
Or how to read the clipboard a different way.
I have written a database in Access 2003, saved as an Access 2000 format. This runs fine on Windows XP workstations. When I install the same system on a Windows 7 system, my login screen launches, the user is able to enter in their name and password. Then nothing happens. What is supposed to happen is a form opens up after the password is entered that applies security written in code based on the user.

create a datasheet from 2 odbc linked tables which I will be exporting to Excel. The resulting datasheet will have four columns, 'Purchase Order Number' 'Stock Code' 'Delivery Date' 'Unit Price'. The information I require in the datasheet is a unique stock code (one occurrence of each stock code) with the most recent unit price based on the last delivery date for each product. The linked tables contain many Purchase Orders for the same stock codes over a time period of a number of years where the unit price has varied.

How can I disable any view on forms, queries, vbcode and tables details and data to users, in both FE and BE and only allow them to add data through specific form?
