General :: Avoid Multiple Instances Of ACCDE
Jun 14, 2013
I have an Access 2007 mydb.accdb file. If I click on it, it starts up fine. If I click on it again, then focus goes to the already open db.
If I do the same but with the .accde of the same db, for each click a new instance opens. This is not good, in that a single user then can have multiple instances running without noticing it, and that might mess things up. What Windows setting to use, to convince Win XP that only one instance of mydb.accde should run, similar to the .accdb?

I have a master to child table relation which is one to many. Each one is represented by a different form.
The problem is, the user enters the primary key "JobID" on the master form, then he needs to enter a few records on the child list with the same "JobID" which is the foreign key in that case. I don't want the user to enter the "JobID" every time he enters a new record in the child form.
Is there a way I can copy the primary key to the foreign key each time the user enters a new record in the child form?

I am fixing a database that was previously built. It is use to show listings of items for sale. There is a form that displays all of the information about a particular listing, each with its own id code.
If I want to email a particular item and info to an email address i can, but i can only send one at a time. I click a button which then asks what format to save the report, i choose html, then it opens a new email message from Outlook and sets the file as an attatchment.
The problem is, i want to be able to send more than one listing at a time in the same email. But once the first listing is created and attatched i have to send that one before i can send another listing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I would like to recreate a record locking problem (error # 3218) our users are experiencing on an application we have developed. I currently do not have access to a network, so I would like to run multiple instances of Access on one machine. How do I do that?
Thanks,
Bill

I have a very elaborate Access 2000 application that uses three different SQL databases as the back end. Mostly the data is modified or selected via ADO connections.
The problem I am having is that recently users on Terminal Server are not able to open the application because for some reason the application is not allowing more than one copy of it to be opened at once. I checked everywhere and couldn't find anything that would not allow multiple instances but couldn't find anything.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Any help is greatly appreciated

Is there a way to allow Access to open a second (or thrid...) copy of a form? We need this so we can visually compare the contents for record one with the contents of record two.
Thanks,
David

I have a table called providers with the following 3 fields:
Provider ID
Cancellation Reason
Visit ID
Date
It is possible to have multiple instances of the same provider ID, cancellation reason and visit ID on the same date. I'm trying to count just 1 instance based on visit ID if there are multiple instances of the visit ID and reason on the same date. Select distinct doesn't seem to do the trick.

After creating multiple instances of a form how should they be closed so as to ensure that all of their assets are disposed of and there are no memory leaks? DoCmd.Close seems not to work because it expects a name string which would be the same for all instances of the form.
Since a form's name is a read only property it cannot be modified when the form is created so it doesn't uniquely identify a particular form instance. I've tried setting the form reference to Nothing which appears to work, but I'm not sure whether this is the correct technique and whether it disposes of everything cleanly.

Not sure if this is the correct forum but its worth a shot.
When I try to open any database, MS Access will hang if there is already another instance msaccess.exe running. I even tried opening two newly created blank dbs with the same result. Has anyone ever come accross this behavior?
I have tried repairinging/reinstalling/checking and unchecking "Windows in Taskbar option"
Thanks for any help!

I have a few hundred access databases all with the same tables and structure, and want to import all the data in a 'mother' database (which i created with the same tables and structure).
I am using a sub that feeds a string to another public sub as follows:
Code:
Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
Dim strFolder As String 'source folder path for import
Dim strFile As String 'individual file path
strFolder = GetFolder(Environ$("USERPROFILE") & "Documenti")
If Len(strFolder) <= 1 Then Exit Sub
[code]....

I have a working database which runs fine in accdb mode. But when i compile it and run the accde file I get the error "The expression you entered has a function name that XXDB nameXX cant' find."The problem is that the autoexec macro cannot find the VBA public function that is called with runcode command.
The accde file is running in the same folder as the accdb. It is a split database, I am only working on the Front End..I have tried, amongst others:
- Creating a new vba module and copying all the functions across
- Renaming the target function
- I reckoned there was a corruption somewhere, so I created a blank database and imported all the form/code/etc across from the broken version, which imported fine. The accdb ran but the compiled version failed again

I do not see the Make ACCDE button. I'm using Access 2010 32 bit. Have an ACCDB FE file which I'm trying to create the ACCDE. I've compiled and fixed the VB errors. I've review trusted sources and insured the folders are trusted. For whatever reason, the button is not showing.

We have a form that will have one combo box for Associates (like Employee in the OPs DB) which I've got set to show only active Associates for new entry per the tips in the above thread, but we'll also have a combo box for Developer which I need to function the same way. I don't know how to add that part to the On Current event?
Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim strComboRowSource As String
If Me.NewRecord Then
strComboRowSource = "SELECT T_Associates.AssociateID, T_Associates.Associate, T_Associates.Active " & _
"FROM T_Associates " & _
"WHERE (((T_Associates.Active)=True));"
[Code] .....

do I need to have MS Access installed, in order to open an ACCDE file.there is no need, as I see ACCDE as an exe file.

I have written a large database for the school I used to work for. In the main table there is a field named "Active" which is text with yes or no choices.Is there a way to find in what objects this field is being used in the database?
For the life of me I can't remember why I put this field in or if its even used now.This database has had many versions over the years.
I have searched many of the queries but can not find where this field is used.If there isn't a way I plan to backup, remove field from table and test all the features of the program to see which crashes. However I'm hoping there might be a quicker way.This was one of the first DB I wrote and didn't pay much attention to mapping or keeping notes back then.

Trying to lock down an application by saving as ACCDE file. Saves OK but when you load application none of the controls work. I.e. button clicks do not launch "Open Form" or " Print Report" commands.But in ACCDB format application works flawlessly.
When I tried on a different machine I get an error message that says too many Table IDs. Odd since I only have 3 forms, 3 tables and 3 reports. Lots of DoCmd's and switching between the 3 forms but not sure why this would create "too many Table IDs"?

I've Saved an Access 2010 File as an .accde version that opens Ok however none of the buttons (eg; delete record, go to first record, next record) that I placed on the form work at all (the standard record selectors at the bottom of the form still work). All the buttons work fine in the .accdb version - only the .accde version that doesnt work...

I have created an accdb file and saved as an accde file. The accde file opens with a form with command buttons. But the commands buttons do not work with the accde file (they do work with the accdb file). How do I get them working.

I have made a database, splitted it and then made the front end as accde. After that I copied both Front end & back end files in a shared folder. It is working fine as long as I am using it from my computer, but when I go to the other computer and try to open the front end, it gives the message of Unrecognized format error. This problem is only with the accde file, all other files are opening except this.

I created the .accde to distribute only the compiled file. But I have a problem. When you open the file .accde there is this problem of security: You can not determine whether the content is from a trusted source. Leave off the contents, unless they provide essential capabilities and the source is considered reliable. Open the file or cancel the operation? How Can I avoid the visualization of this security alert?

I've come across an interesting problem a colleague has been trying to solve and even though I can 'see' what needs to be done and could probably program it on our mainframe, I'm really stuck on how to achieve the same results in MS Access
I'll do my best to explain the problem by showing an example of how the data exists in the DB and also how it 'should' be output on a report.
DATE OPERATOR COUNT
29/06/06 - Oper A - 32
29/06/06 - Oper B - 12
29/06/06 - Oper A - 10
29/06/06 - Oper C - 13
29/06/06 - Oper B - 10
The output needed however should read as follows
29/06/06 - Oper A - 42
29/06/06 - Oper B - 22
29/06/06 - Oper C - 13
Setting up a date selection shouldn't be a problem, its just adding the totals on each instance of each operator into one figure without ending up with a total of the number of times an operator appears on a date.
Any help and guidance about how best to approach this problem (macro/query/script) would be appreciated.

How do I make an accdr file out of an accde file?

I have 2 questions.
The first is regarding splitting a database into 2 files, one for tables, and one for forms and queries. I have a database whose data will be accessed from about 4 computers, and almost never will this data be accessed concurrently. In that kind of situation, is it easier to just put the whole DB in a share and give each user a shortcut to it, or should I be splitting it and just putting the tables on the share?
Second question:
The option in Access 2007 to make the database an .accde file. From what I understand this just locks down the structure of the database so it can't be changed. Is this correct? Can it be edited by an admin once it's converted to this format, or does it just stay that way? I guess if it can't be edited, one could just keep a copy of the .mdb, modify that, then reconvert it to .accde.
Also, if I were to split my DB, would I first split and then convert to ACCDE, or the opposite?
Can someone enlighten me on these few things?
Thanks
