General :: Two Divisions But One Set Of Database Objects?
Dec 4, 2012I'm using Access 2007. I have designed a database for one of a two division set up. All of the raw data in the tables is similar yet there is one unique identifier for the two divisions. Let's call it DivID, four characters in length.
To keep the maintenance simple I want to have one set of forms, queries and reports. I do not want to duplicate all of these. To the user they will only see one set of the menus, which will show all of the necessary sub-menus.
The first or main menu will have two buttons, Division A and Division B. The user simply clicks on the appropriate division button, and off they go. I'm thinking that it would be easiest for me if the DivID is stored after they click on their division button, and this value is used for any form or report that they run afterwards. Also, this DivID value would generate custom headers at each menu and submenu to confirm which division they chose.
General :: Greyed Out Objects In Database
Sep 23, 2013I have greyed out objects in my Access database. I didn't create them and don't know what they are. I tried to delete them but couldn't. Why did they come to my database -or they were already there but now they are appeared- and how can I get rid of them?

View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Importing Objects From Secured To Clean Database
Jun 3, 2015I have an access database that was set with security about 10 years ago.
I have now created another database in 2010 and I am importing all the objects to make a clean non secured database.
When I import tables it imports system table objects like MSysRelationships, but as it already exists it adds another MSysRelationships with a 1 on the end (MSysRelationships1).
Should I delete the original MSysRelationships and then rename the MSysRelationships1 as MSysRelationships.
There are numerous others like MSysAccessstorage, MSysACEs etc...
I am gathering that if I don't rename MSysRelationships1to MSysRelationships then the relationship data would be incorrect and the database wouldn't work correctly, but maybe I am wrong.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Cut And Paste From One Table To Another
Jun 9, 2014I have 2 tables , one table I want to use as temporary information the other to use as permanent information
For example if I have 6 records in one table , I want to be able to press a button that removes those 6 records from the temporary table and put them in the permanent table. Then later as I add more to the temporary data table again press a button and then temporary data is added to the permanent table.
Therefore the temporary table will always be empty when I press the button and the permanent table will keep adding the information I transfer across .
Can't Find Database Objects
Jun 2, 2005Hello,
I am a novice when it comes to the MS Access interface. My experience has been designing the database and then using ASP pages to query, update, etc. I am now in a new position where I have to modify a switchboard to point to other data sources (i.e. databases) who have been renamed. My problem is that when I open any of those databases all I get is a form (switchboard) that has links to reports. It appears to my novice eye that the switchboard is the only thing that exists within the "main" database and it points to other databases -- when I open those databases another switchboard comes up and I still cannot view the database objects. I hope this makes sense -- believe me, I am attempting to understand this all.
I hope someone can explain to me what's going on -- there has to be a database that I can open and see actual database objects by going to the top menu bar and selecting, "View --> Database Objects --> Tables, Queries, Forms, etc.
Please help!
Thank you!

Thumbnail As OLE Objects In Database
Jul 11, 2005Hi!
I want to display 8 thumbnail images at a time per form of records that matched a search critera in a form. But it seems like a form is suppose only to have one record at a time? I want to have a "next 8 thumbs"-button so it gets easy to browse the pictures.
I'm very thankful if you could help me with this! Please give me some advice.
Thanks!
Best regards

Access Objects Within A 2nd Database

Database Objects Have Gone Missing!
Jul 28, 2006We have an Access 2000 db, which has been used for some time and is split between a front and back end. We've come in today and tried to open the back-end, which contains only tables, and when it opens it's completely blank. We can't see any of the objects or the normal menu to access the tables, queries, etc. We can, however, import the tables into a new database, so they must be there.
Any idea why this has happened or how to stop it happening again.
Thanks.
General :: Copy A Table And Paste With Another Name
Nov 20, 2012I am trying to copy a table and paste as another name. I do this all the time with this table as it is a process I have to do. It is giving me a -1524 error. I also tried to export it to another database and it won't allow that either. I get the same error.
I have tried this with other tables and it does fine.
Hyperlinks - Linking To Objects In Database
Apr 7, 2005I have recently updated my version of Access.
Within a tbl i have a series of hyperlinks.
All of these hyperlinks are linked to an object within the database, a macro as an example.
When i go to edit these hyperlinks, it does not allow me to link 'to objects within the database'. This options used to be available in my older version of Access. Am i missing something?
Sharing Objects With A Secondary Database?
Aug 16, 2014Imagine you have a split database with two users making reports on their own front end. Lets say user 1 wants to share a report they built with user 2. is it possible to send this Object through vba so that user 2 would received a working editable copy that they can use on their front end without sharing the actual accdb front ends?
I thought about creating a Database that would just host the reports but again if I cannot send or access secondary database objects then this method would not work.
Cannot Save Database Objects When Changes Made
May 25, 2011This has happened to me several times in the past. I make minor changes to a report and when I go to save it or close it out, it asks, "Do you want to save changes?" Of course I say yes and it just sits there, not closing out the report tab. The only way around it that I have found is to re-write the report, from scratch.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIs It Possible To Synchronise By Exporting And Importing Database Objects?
Aug 14, 2007:o:confused:
I'm desperately searching for a way to synchronise different copies of the same access 2003 database i created. I have tried brief case synchronisation, and I have also tried the replication manager that comes with access but they both haven't been much help.
My experience with them leads me to believe that they both work best with a LAN or internet connection.
I'm seeking a solution that will work without a LAN or internet connection. Something that will copy my tables and other required objects to a folder that i can copy and move to another pc where another copy of the database resides. It should then import the same tables and objects and hence synchronise the copy of the database.
I recently saw a visual foxpro database that has the kind of synchronisation solution i'm looking for. I think it works this way;it exports all the tables and necessary objects to a folder that it creates allowing you to copy or move this folder via portable storage device to another computer. It then synchronises by importing the tables and other objects from this folder into the database resident on that computer.
I think there might be a way to do this using macro's or VBA but alas my knowledge of these areas of access is very weak. Is there a way to recreate this functionality in access 2003 using VBA code?
How To Show The Database Objects In The Windows Task Bar
Sep 11, 2007I have a problem. This problem is that I cant see the Database objects (Forms,Report,...) in the Windows task bar. I want the user to be able to see any opened form, or report directly in the task bar as any file opened by the Windows user.
I have tried to check on the (Show Windows in TaskBar) option available in the Tools -> options of the MS Access, but it doesn work with me.
What is happening now that I am forced to show the Menu Bar and use the Window menu to switch between the objects, however, This will not be OK for me because my system hides all the command bars the MS Acccess use.
Is the any way to solve this hard problem?
General :: Unable To View Design Of Any Objects
Oct 4, 2012I am new to MS access 2007 but not new to Access. I am trying to open a form in the design view but that option is disabled along with other menu options. I checked the Ribbon and it appears to be a custom toolbar. I deleted that out of the box but I'm still unable to view the design of any objects. How do I enable the menu items?
View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: New Objects Created Don't Appear In Navigation Pane
Oct 30, 2013I'd like to count the number of objects in my DB to check if I'm running into the 32,768 object limit. I'm experiencing unusual and disconcerting behavior, and all the normal corruption repair techniques aren't working. I've imported all the objects into a new database container, decompiled, compact & repair, and nothing works until the I delete some objects (forms, reports, queries, etc).
New objects created don't appear in the navigation pane until I close and re-open. Also, changing a query type from select to append doesn't result in the icon changing in the navigation pane.Code seems to run fine and everything else appears OK, but I really can't continue development until this issue is resolved. I fear continued development may lead to further corruption.after 20 years, this application has grown, I use a variety of techniques to get the size of the application. Currently:
1. 201,200 lines of code in 910 modules, reports and forms.
2. 544 forms
3. 328 reports
4. 3,617 queries (yes, I know, but it's so much work)
5. 450 tables (about half are linked)
I always thought, without thinking too deeply, that the number of objects in the spec refers to the number of reports, forms, modules, etc. But, now I'm wondering, do they also mean all the controls on the forms, and or the fields in the tables? What do they mean by objects.
I used Point Limited's translation modules recently to extract all the label and caption text for a French language translation project and it pulled out something like 21,000 individual controls, and, combined with this issue, I'm beginning to wonder...
General :: Is It Possible To Get File Size Of Access Objects
Feb 24, 2014Is it possible (using the menu or VBA code) to find out the size of the objects in an Access database file?For example if the .accdb file is 300Mb, is there any way of comparing the size of the numerous tables/forms/reports/queries etc, that make up the database?(I know that if I created a new access file and imported the objects from the working database that could give an indication but that would be quite a repetitive process).
View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Copy And Paste Records With Current Date
Sep 24, 2013I have a database that is tracking donations for my organization. I have some members who donate the same amount every month. Is there away to copy the records and paste them with the current date in the "Date Paid" field, and do this "Update" once a month? As opposed to typing in 200 records each month? I would assume that I would have to run an update query which filters to just the members that pay each month, but the big question is how to copy and paste these records. I am using Access 2010, I have some VB ability, but not an expert by any stretch. My SQL is not strong at all either.

If that's not possible they could just create a Rich Text document with text formatted in a table form with out gridlines. I would need about a 2000 character limit. Not sure if this is reasonable or not??
