I have a database in Access 2007 - 2010 that I push out to a couple of different co-wokers.One of my co-workers is using MS Office 2013 and the buttons I have on the forms and reports look inflated.Is there anyway to prevent this in Design mode so what I see in my version is the same as the new version of Access?
View RepliesI have an mde database originally created in Access 2003. Will I be able to open it in Access 2007?
(I ask because this mde file was originally created in Access 2002, and wouldn't open in A03. We had to track down the creator and get her to resend a new mde file that was 03 compatible. Are we going to run into the same problem after the next upgrade?)
We have a ton of Access 97 DBs I've been asked to "fix". Since moving to Windows 7 some of them have been giving Error70 comands, which I've narrowed down to Sendkey not playing nicely with Windows 7. Anyway, I was able to fix it for one user by turning UAC off. Not my preferred way to operate, but it's a stopgap until I can get this mess sorted out.
Ok, here's the code. This is an event procedure that is tied to a date field where staff are to enter a date in MM/DD/YYYY format. For some reason there is no tab order anywhere on this DB so they have to click to enter. In the past they had to make sure that they clicked at the left most M in MM to make the entry.
It appears that this Sendkey is the culprit here. Is there anyway I can safely remove that w/o breaking something? I cannot get sole access to this DB as it's in use pretty much 24/7 until the 11pm backup for the server it resides on. It is Access 97. I was thinking of just pulling the macro from that field but then again I am not an Access person by any means,
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub cboxptno_GotFocus()
cboxptno.Dropdown
End Sub
----
Private Sub Command111_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command111_Click
[code]....
My table occasionally gets a second record added for the same person. What is the easiest way to update the new record with the non-zero fields from the older record, then delete the older record? There is a unique id field as well as a timestamp, so knowing which is older isn't a problem. Is there an easy way to do this?

When I create a new form and add a button it is rounded/shaded/white/blue etc - looks good.
When I add a button to an existing form, or reformat the existing form buttons (back colour Accent 1, Lighter 40%, Use Theme Yes etc) it remains an old style button (unrounded, solid colour etc).
How to convert old style buttons to new style buttons ..
Should be a quick and easy question here... I'm getting close to splitting a DB. Back end mbd, front end mde. Searched the forum and a few other places. One subject didnt seem too clear... I developed the db in access 2002, a few of our computers are running 2003. Will I run into any problems with this setup??
Thanks
Hi all
Built an Access database using A2k3 but using the A2k format.
Having more or less completed the Database, I have tried it on several PC's that I have round the office here.
All works fine except for one form.
It works perfectly well on Access 2003 and also on Access 2000 version, but for some reason it wont work on on Access 2002.
I have added the screen shots. Anyone with any ideas?
Hello, I wrote an access program using version 2000 and the activex calendar 11.0 which came with the software. When i tried to run the same program on access 2003 none of my dates worked and I got error messages all over the place. Help!
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi all, I have created a database for work in Access2003. I have two questions. The first is, many people at the work place use AC97 and some use AC2000. In order for everyone to use the database, i have saved it in AC97 format. It seems to open fine in Ver2000 and 2003, but i get this nag screen on load up with these versions saying "do you wish to convert the database". As I'm working off a shared drive, i don't really want anyone converting the dbase. Is there a way to disable this nag screen when loading in AC2000 and AC2003??
Second question, is it possible to have more than one instance of the database open at anytime? . If I've got the database open, my colleague can't open it. Its a simple database that writes records directly to a table. Thanks for any advice.
A few months ago I installed Office 2007 on my home PC and uninstalled Office 2003.
I am contemplating the re-installation of ACCESS 2003 on my home PC, but don't want to disturb my Office 2007 install.
QUESTION: Is it possible to have both versions of ACCESS (2003 & 2007) on my PC without creating problems for myself?
NOTE: I have two hard drives on my PC (C drive, the newer one; and E drive from my last PC). Perhaps I should install ACCESS 2003 on the E drive?
Hi I am trying to find the best way to synchronise several different versions of the one database, two of which are used by remote users so i can't really set one database on a central server, I am trying to come up with an as automated a process as possible as it will need to be done on a regular basis, has anyone any ideas??
it is a microsoft access 97 database
I will be updating it to a newer version as soon as possible
all help is greatly appreciated

Hello,
Is it possible to install two versions of MS Access on the same O.S. I already have Access97 installed. Now I want to install access 2003 without it up removing my previous access 97. If it removes/upgardes access 97 to access 2003 I will not be able to open my access 97 database.
Is this possible? and if so how?
Thanks--any help will be much appreciated.
Would having Microsoft Access 2002 and 2003 on my hard drive cause me to have error with my code?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
My office has updated to Microsoft Access 2007, but one of the third party softwares used requires a previous version of Access. A result of switching between the 3rd party software and Access 2007, is that 2007 installs every time.
Is there any work around to over come this problem?
Thanks,
Chander

I've been hired to clean up and convert a flat filemaker database into access 2003 and I've spent the last two weeks learning the ins and outs of access and doing preparations. Well, today some high up database guy in another department told me not to use access because in the future when a new version of access comes out we will have to recreate the database from scratch because there are lots of problems converting between versions. I'm aware there might be some hiccups but I don't really agree with him. Plus once the database is up and functioning I don't see why we'd even have to upgrade it to a new version. It's just a small health centre patient database with info about patients and their treatments. Does anyone have any opinions about this. Thanks.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi, this problem came out of nowhere but looks like it's here to stay.
Our Access app generates various Access Reports.
Recently we installed a new version of our access app and since that version onwards, all pc's with Office XP/2003 print reports in black & white. Printing to PDF works fine though.
We can't find the reason for this. Which mean we had to go to all our clients to downgrade them from office XP/2003 to 2000!
We use mainly Xerox and HP printers.
Thanks!
Hi
I keep the production version of my database on a server, and a copy of it for development work on my desktop. Today I've made several changes to the development version, which didn't work. I then opened the production version held on the server in a separate MS Access window to compare the queries/results to see where the problem was and have found that the changes have automatically updated in the production version. Can anyone explain this? They shouldnt be linked at all. The 2 versions both link to a datawarehouse through an ODBC link, but shouldn't be linking to each other (I'm using Access 2003).
Cheers :)
I have been asked to add features (and fields) to an existing database containing private medical data. The idea is to add features to the empty database, test it with fake data, purge the fake data and deliver it to the user in another state with a simple update button. The Access 2010 database is in one piece (No front/back end).
I am looking for the best/shortest VBA method to move a lot of preexisting field data from the old database to the new version. I think I have it mostly figured out; I have code for counting, reading and writing the table names, field names and field data.
However, because the data types vary within the tables and there will be new fields in the new versions tables, my only idea, so far, is to code through the data table-by-table and field-by-field, a lengthy process with a large footprint. Moving entire tables or complete records may not be effective. Any faster way to transfer all these tables field data?
Is there a way to make access be able to store software versions and product keys automatically? Programs I am most interested in is like Microsoft Office suites and Adobe Acrobat and Photoshop and whatnot like that. I am not sure if this is even possible but I am trying to get my database fully functional with all the data and efficiency I can for at least 5 people so that I can try to sell access as a better tool than the service they are using now.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a combobox on a form linked to a table. The format of the column in the table is Yes/No. The form which inputs into the table is also set to Yes/No.
However of the form below, even though the combobox is set to Yes/No, when you open the box it displays as -1 for yes and 0 for no.
How has this happened?
I want to make a form or report that acts similar to a "bookshelf" view showing around 4 or so images in each row. When an image is clicked on it takes you to that record. I know a report can be used to make rows but how do I get the images to display? They are stored in a folder and not actually embedded into the database. I have a VB code that displays the image on my forms but this doesn't work when it's a continuous form or report. It shows the same image until I click on that record then the image changes.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have 6 machines that run jobs Monday thru Friday but I will focus on doing one machine to avoid confusion.
The machine will be running 23 hours a day Monday thru Thursday and 18 hours on Friday and is shut down on Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning at 5am (start of the work week) Job A starts. The job will run for 30 hours. Then Job B will run for 160 hours. I need to know when Job B will start and end. Although it would be nice to know the time of day, just knowing the date would be good enough.
As I said I have 6 machines and each one is running anywhere from 7 to 10 jobs. My end result could be nothing more than a report, but a datasheet form would be ideal. On Mondays, new jobs are added and schedule is updated based on actual productivity from the prior week.
Iv added a 'subform/subreport' to one of my forms.I wanted to use this to display a report. Therefore i assumed that i would simply set the source object to my desired report and hey presto! But no, when i look in the source object drop down list, my report doesnt appear.how i can display a report within a form??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an existing 2010 database that has a table that stores PDF's in an OLE field. The boss wants to be able to see the PDF on a form along with the other fields in the database. He doesn't want the pdf to open up in a separate window in Adobe PDF viewer. He doesn't want to have to switch between 2 windows because he's comparing data from the other fields in the record to what's on the PDF. He doesn't have dual monitors and doesn't want that either.
when I put the PDF field on a form all I get is an ICON that has to be double clicked on to open but I need it to display the pdf or at leas part of the PDF so he can scroll down to view the whole pdf. I thought about using a subform or tabs and putting a web browser control to display the pdf. I've seen examples of how to set a web browser control URL when the pdf is in an attachment field but I haven't been able to find any examples of how to view the pdf in a web browser control or any code to actually show the pdf on the form from an OLE field.
I know storing the PDF in an attachment field is the best way to do this and I've let the boss know. My only task is to display it on a form and not to redesign the database.
