General :: Backup Database At User Side
Oct 4, 2012I have developed an access database, and prepared its run time exe file. My question is how to develop the database so that the user can regularly backup the database?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use VBA to backup the BACK-END of a split database (so I can automatically archive selected data). If I use FileCopy I get a message that the BACK-END database has not been found.Obviously I could 'unlink' the BACK-END, copy it and 're-link' it..Is it possible to copy the BACK-END tables(not just the links) into the FRONT-END and get at them that way?

For example, existing database called "Fishing.accdb" and I'd like to have code behind a button that allows the database to be saved as "Fishing0711.accdb"
I'm trying to avoid the user having to go into the File Save as menu system....I've tried the docmd.copyObject method but can't get it to work
Why Access (2010) database is creating backup copy by itself?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Access 2007 database in work environment. When one of my colleagues tried to update some records in a table, it created a backup of the database.
The issue is that the size of the actual database is much smaller than the size of the backup. However all the data are present and I don't think any data has been deleted.
But I don't know why there is a difference in size?
Some of the tables in the database are linked from MS SQL Server.
Just wanted to confirm which is the best way to create an automatic back up of a access DB. (Split DB, backing up the BE - Access2010)
Firstly I was thinking of just creating a batch file to copy the file to a new source directly with a task scheduler set up.
Ideally I'd like it to run daily and have the date of the back up added to the end of the filepath.
I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.
Hi I have had a look on the forum but cannot find what I am looking for!!
I need to back up all the contents of the tables of a database in a certain folder and then restore it. The reason for all this is to be able to update the database with new features so that the final user can receive the update and restore the data.
How can I achieve this???

Hi All,
I've searched for ages looking for threads on backing up a database, and even found one which was asking exactly what I need but without solutions given.
I have a split database with BE and FE, which is used by about 20 users. When the last user closes the database I would like the database to be automatically backed up (e.g. when no one is using it). I've found threads on scheduling a backup, it the middle of the night for example, and other threads on backing up while users are logged on, but I'm not really keen to use these approaches.
Any ideas??

So I'm trying to manipulate Access to create a Directory for my church. I'm trying to get a report to show the church staff, which I was able to do, but I was wondering, is it possible to get the records to show side by side instead of one on top of the other?
I included a picture of the design view showing what I would like to see. Excuse the way the numbers are written, it's hard to write with a mouse.
I have split my database, the data is in a DB on the server and the forms, reports, etc is on the client desktop. My question is "Is there an advantage to having all of my combo box queries (Lookups) on the server side (defined in the table as a combo lookup) or should I put the all on the form so that they reside in client side DB.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I want to Delete only FK on the many side first and the record on the one side by one click of a button. I wrote some code which sometimes works and sometimes it does not!!
I wonder if any one have a better idea or doing this please?
Private Sub Delete_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim n As Integer, i As Integer
Dim vStart As Integer
Dim vEnd As Integer
Dim vSite As Integer
Dim vRCCID As Integer
vSite = Forms![frmSite].Form![SiteID]
vRCCID = Forms![frmSite]![Roads Construction Consent].Form![RCCID]
vStart = Me.PhaseStart - 1
vEnd = Me.PhaseEnd + 1
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblPhase")
rs.MoveLast
n = rs.RecordCount
rs.MoveFirst
If n > 0 Then
For i = 1 To n
If rs![SiteID] = vSite Then
If rs![PhaseNumber] > vStart And rs![PhaseNumber] < vEnd Then
rs.Edit
rs![RCCID] = Null
rs.Update
End If
End If
rs.MoveNext
Next i
End If
rs.Close
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
Set rs = Nothing
'/////////////////////////////////////////////
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE RCCID FROM tblRCC WHERE RCCID = " & vRCCID & ""
'//////////////////////////////////////////////
End Sub
tblRCC is the one side of the relationship and tblPhase is the many side.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

I created a database for multiple users, it seems only one user can be in database at a time. Is there a property that allows multiple users to simultaneously use database. My record locks property is no. Is there some other property that needs to be set ??
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to develop my database and forms to fit a 1600 x 900 resolution screen and would like to know, whilst I am in the Developer mode of Access 2007, is there a key that I can press that will switch to display the database/forms so that I can see what the User will see?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some Databases that were created back in Access 97 and have managed to upgrade these databases to work in Access 2013, fixing any modules and forms which broke when upgrading the databases.User access and permissions within the database were controlled by User Level Security (the Workgroup.mdw file) which is not secure anyway I guess, as someone could easily copy the entire database.
The database as it stands now works perfectly in Access 2013, however anyone can do anything with the database which is my main issue. Im wanting to limit access for certain forms / tables / reports to certain users, then out right deny other users from accessing the database.
Ive seen the SQL Server 2014 Migration Assistant for Access, which looks to store the tables on SQL server then map these to the Access database, so i guess i could deny certain users from accessing tables that way, or only allow them to read the tables. However I'm not sure how that would lock them out of certain forms / reports and queries in the databases?
How can I make a warning pop up when a user tries to access a database that another user is already in??
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a database whereby users already have to sign in with a username and password, using a form which them allows them to view a front page. The front page allows them to access data and add/amend it.
I now have to adjust this setup as we have directors who want to view the system, but we don't want them to amend it.
Is there anyway to change the current setup that I already have or do I have to scrap it and start again?
I am developing a database for a company with about 10 users of the DB each using the DB on their own PC/Mac.
The workplace does not have a network. All work is done and stored on their own computers. They do not have a server either.
They do have a BT Business Hub providing broadband both wired and wirelessly.
The database is built using Access 2010.
I need to set up user groups/permissions on the database so certain staff can only see certain forms/tables etc...
What are my options here?
There is money available to buy a server or whatever. But ideally if there is another way of storing it and doing it, then I would like to give that a try.
I was reading somewhere you can use the Hub to create a small network, is this possible? And if so, whats the set up process for this?
In my database there are fields of type Date/Time, their default value is set to now(). But the problem is that those fields are automatically filled up by English system date. I want my own country's date format, without changing my system date format. So I decided, whenever database is opened it should ask for a date, so the user will give today's date and that date will be used automatically on those fields.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhat 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.

I have a report with some text boxes on it. Sometimes the text in these boxes can be a very long string of characters (maybe a path to some folder). In this case I do not want the text box to grow. I just want the report to show me the right-hand side of this path and cut off the left. How do I do this when still aligning my text to the left?
