General :: Close Access DB Present In Network Quickly
Aug 23, 2012
I have Access as front end and SQL Server as back end. The Access application is placed on a common network drive for theusers to access it. The compact on close option is enabled when the access application is closed.
I have a local copy of the access app. When I close the app, it takes ony a few seconds. But when on a network drive, it is taking 2 mins.I just wanted to know if the time taken to close the application on the network drive can be brought down without disabling the compact on close option.
Some of my users have laptops and usually at work finish, they remove their laptops. The issue occurs when they restart their laptops again without network access and then they have some dialog boxes showing below messages:
"Your network access was interrupted and you should close MS access and restart."
When OK is pressed, some other messages like " Object invalid or not set" appears and by pressing many time OK, it does not reset. Last option is to use "Ctrl+Alt+Del".
I have a small Access DB (multi-user) on a network that keeps turning into a read-only DB, with a message bar saying please save as . . . and it will not let you complete that. It seems to lock the application, and when I can get everyone out and copy the file out I can finally get it back to its normal state.
We have an old Access 2000 db that is used by most of the company. I also have users who use it via a windows 2003 terminal server. I just created a new win 2008 remote desktop server and installed Access 2000 (What a pain that was).
Now from access, if I go to fileopen, navigate to the DB server and open the DB, it works fine. If I create a shortcut to the database on the desktop of the remote server, nothing happens. No error, no warning, no nothing. It's weird.
If I place a copy of the db locally, it opens just fine.I also tried mapping a drive to the db server and then made another shortcut and still nothing. I also created a shortcut and entered the path like this:
Ok, let's say I have 3 tables with the following data
T1 T2 T3 1 , 1 , 1 2 , 2 , 3 3 , 4 , 4 , , 5
I'd like to be able to create a query that has the only record as its result as 5 as it is the only data item the does not exist in Tables 1 and 2. I don't just want to search for 5, I can do that :) I would like to be able to write a query which finds all the records that are present in one table, but are not present in x number (in this case 2) of other tables.
I don't seem to be able to find any simple way of doin this and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on any forums. Anyone got any ideas?? :)
How would I use the Access 2010 setting, 'Compact on close'?We have a back end on a server and many users with front ends on their computers. So would I set 'Compact on close' on the back end? And then it would compact when the last user logged out?
I was trying to access this particular MS-ACCESS file which serves as a DB for a software. But the file opens and closes in a split of a second and was impossible to view its structure. :mad: I beleive it's made to respond so by the programmers in order to hide the content. Can anyone please help me open this file? PLEASE...
Everytime i want to make some changes to my "Testing" Database , always got somebody using it / opening it...
I am trying to create a button , the function of the button is close "Testing" access database who using it or opening it , Example : 5 users included me in a company , when I click a button , 4 of them will received a notification with close "Testing" database message , can do that ?
I am trying to create an expression to pull data from 2011 to present date. I need the data for 2011 to only reflect 1/1/11 through 10/7/11 (today's date in 2011). I need the same for 2012 and 2013.
I don't want to have to enter dates each time I run this, therefore, a formula would be preferred rather than hard numbers.
I am designing a project in which there is a form and on that form there is a textbox and Browse button. With browse button you can select a file from the dialog box and that file path will appear in the textbox. This part has been done as below:
Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ChooseFile End Sub Sub ChooseFile()
Dim fd As FileDialog Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
[Code] ....
Now the next Part i.e Part2 in which we have to see the references present in Column D of the "Summary" worksheet of the workbook whose path is present in textbox1 and check if they match with any of the references in field "Ref" of the Access table named tblLiterature.
If value in column D matches with Ref field of the Access table then change the status field of the Access table to the corresponding columns A,B,C named as "Withdrawn","Obsolete","Updated". that means if the column A of the corresponding Reference is Y then change the status field to "Withdrawn". If column B is Y then change the status to "Obsolete" and if column C is Y then change the status to "Updated".
Please see attached the workbook as this kind of workbook will be searched against Access table .
does access have the ability to create a query where all records are present, all fields are present, yet some data within some fields aren't displayed?
Now i want to write VBA code to check sheet name "Summary" in that workbook and check if any of column D value matches with Access table tblmain field "Reference" values. If yes then change the status field of tblmain to "Yes".
In sheet 1, In column A all the Batch numbers are present. So I want to check if each of these is present in Access table named "tblmain". If its present then display its corresponding Policy number in Column B of attached workbook.
My DB is split into BE and FE into about 5 Laptops. The DB is for entering personal information of pensioners.
sometimes it becomes necessary to take a computer away from the office to capture data of sick and aged pensioners. Now if you take the server (BE) out all the other clients (FE) will not work, and if you take a client out it wont work.
To solve the issue I decided to install a standalone version of the db in all the clients. If out of the network, the standalone DB is used and later captured data to betransfered to the server.
My question: Is there a code that I can use to check if my server is available to start the FE or if unavailable to start the standalone?
i have made a database in access 2010 . and i have put that in a shared folder . split that into fe and be. and on my network i am using access 2010 runtime on other computer to access it . on that computer in registry settings i have trusted locations as //server/database i.e. in database folder i have the fe and be.i can open the fe but with potential security warning i.e. of trusted locations i think . and when i click open on it it doesnt open my forms those are linked with tables from navigation form and displays the error that is something concerned with location g:database which is on my server computer.
I've managed to grab the network login and place it on the data entry form which populates a table with said login...
I would like to know where and how I would use that same login ID elsewhere in db. I only want that loginID to be able to use forms and reports associated with it.
would I use in queries? on open events? not sure where to place this.
I have a A2007 database that is split to a shared server that is experiencing unidentified network problems. While working in the front-end users receive the following message periodically:
Quote:Your network access was interrupted. To continue close the database and then open it again.If the users are working in a form including queried data, the data is lost and the file crashes. This happens even though the front-end is on the user's computer and no tables are currently being queried. My question is why must the network be stable even though the database is split and queries are not occurring? The form's record source is a table though. But even with this the record source connection is not needed until the form is closed.
I am having trouble relinking tables in my Front End database to my Back End database. My BE DB is on a network share and when I try using the link table manager to navigate to the correct folder I get an error message upon entering the network share folder that says:
The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file "etworkfolder" It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
I have permission to the folder and have ensured that this folder is a trusted location path.
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?
I've been told numerous times that a shared database should have each user with their own FE. I've also seen in a number of places that the FE should be on the user's local machine. Is the FE on the local machine to limit network traffic only, or is there a greater reason for it?
I was under the assumption that the seperate FE's were to lower the probability of corruptions and sharing of local temp files... If this is the case, is it reasonable enough to have each user have their own FE in their own user folder on the network?
I am making a database and I require a box in a form where when I press a key, it enters the drink name, price, and stockID. It should also keep a running total of the price and make a subtotal where I can then input the cash given.
I currently manually run a compact and repair on the backend of a database at work, but was wondering if it might be sensible to set it to compact on close so that (in theory) it is done at least daily and therefore shouldn't take much time?
The back end resides on a network server, which is backed up continuously, so in theory it should be easy enough to roll back to a backup copy should anything untoward happen.
