General :: Front End Copies Itself To Desktop After Closing Database

Apr 3, 2015

I have a split db that has been in use for a few years by about 12 people. The front end is compiled into an accde file.

Ocasionally a user (randomly) might get an error message "Microsoft has detected that this database is in an inconsistent state...." when closing the db and when that happens, a copy of the front end is automatically placed on their desktop.

This front end is always deleted and the original front end continues to work just fine afterwards.

Why are my users getting this error message? Why is the front end automatically copied onto their desktops?

General :: Forcefully Closing Backend Database Before Compacting

Oct 8, 2012

I have a Ms Access split database where in the backend database grows up very fast and needs to be compressed everyday. I have written a batch script to compact the same and have scheduled it to be run every night. But the script is unable to compress the backend every time since the users tend to leave the application open at the end of the day. Ideally i am looking for a command line script to forcefully close the back end database if open before attempting to compact it.

I searched on web but could not find a command line script for forcefully closing the back end database.

General :: Multiple Users On Front End Database

Oct 22, 2012

I've prepared a front end database with forms that allow data to be keyed into linked tables to my main databse.

However, currently the front end database only allows 1 user to do it at 1 time and when another user tries to open the file, an error "The Database Has Been Placed in a State by User on Machine That Prevents It From Being Opened or Locked'

Is there anyway to allow multiple users to use the front end database at the same time?

General :: Using Dropbox To Host Front End / Back End Database

Sep 28, 2012

Using Dropbox to host a split database. Ulimately I would like to create a run version for users with the back end held in a drop box directory.

As an unsplit database everything is working fine on dropbox records are saved in a timely manner and great.

Once I split to FE /BE only some records are saved on the BE and some are dropped. Was getting conflicted copies of Back end but manged to stop this happening but the records were noit on either copy.

Gave each user their own FE (on a drop box directory) linking to a BE in a sub directory on the same dropbox.

The key issue is that not all users have access and I don't want them to get into code so want to aim towards a run version.

General :: User Updates On Front End Database Not Updating Back End

Nov 12, 2012

I have a Database that has been split into two.

Back-end for all the data.

Front end for all the forms and queries.

The front end has been saved in a accde format and distributed to 20+ users. They have all saved this onto there computers and this is used as an application.The users complete a form on a weekly basis on the application and then save. This then saves into the back end.For some reason I have noticed that a few users submission randomly do not save. For the life of me I cannot understand why.All users have saved them into the back end in the past but every now and then submission for users do not save.

General :: Split Database - Modify Backend File And Make A New Front End

Jun 12, 2012

So a while back I created a database which I use to keep track of my companies large list of products. It is very simple only 3 tables, 1 query and 1 form. After running into a problem with copying and pasting updates on each computer in the office I decided to split the database on a network drive. This worked for a bit, however I had to add new fields and modify the form, which corrupted the file. Luckily I had a backup before the split.

As far as I could tell all I had to do was modify the backend file and make a new front end. However it seems like it is not as easy as I thought it would be. How do you modify a split database without corrupting the files or using a non-split copy?

General :: Unable To Import To Excel From Front End And Back End Using Database Connections

Aug 5, 2012

I have split my database in Front End och Back End, and both are password protected. The Front End has been converted to ACCDE.

When I try to import to Excel from Front End and/or Back End using database connections I receive a message telling me that I am using an invalid password (even though I use the same password when I encrypt/decrypt FE and BE). I've tried using Access import, ODBC and Microsoft Query. (In some cases I 'm also prompted to set a username, which I do not know which it should be since I haven't set one in my database (except the automatic "admin"))

How do I go about to make this work?

General :: Access 2010 Split Database Hyperlinks Not Working / When Copy Of Front End Moved

Jul 14, 2014

I have built an Access 2010 split database on my computer and it functions as built. My next step was to copy it to the server at work and test it. I discovered the tables had to be re-linked and so did that. As I have read in the Access World Forums in order to function as a multi-user database a copy of the front end must be placed on the individual workstation with the back end residing on the server, however the hyperlinks in the back end will not function when the copy on the workstation is run. I simply get an unable to open "filename" error pop-up. I can run the server copy and everything functions as built. I know that the hyperlinks require all the files to be in the same folder (relative vs. absolute), but if the back end contains all the hyperlinks why does the location of the front end seem to affect the operation of the back end?

General :: Printing Multiple Copies Of A Form?

Jun 18, 2015

I have an Access based CRM system that was built for me in 1998. Amazingly it is still pretty effective. However, I would like to make a small adjustment in the programming..

Once we've added the details for an order we press continue and the screen closes and one copy of the acknowledgement of order form. I simply want it to print three copies!

I believe this is the coding part of the command that is effected.

Rem Print Report
DoCmd.OpenReport "Order Acknowledgement"
Rem Close Form
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Booking Entry"

Queries :: Converted Desktop Access Database To SQL Server

Dec 5, 2014

I have converted desktop Access database to SQL server. A medium sized app with 24 tables, 60 or so forms/subforms and about 120 queries. I created 2 split files, one containing the tables, and the other containing forms, queries, vba modules. I migrated the tables to SQL server using SSMA, and built an odbc connection for my front end. It works, except it is painfully slow. Its cos most of the recordsets that drive my front end are query based. And in many instances the queries are comprised of queries, not just tables.

Should i be creating my queries on the SQL server? Is that what people do when using Access front end with SQL server back end? Do away with Access queries? Or does the problem lie elsewhere? How do i network optimise my Access FE / SQL server BE?

Better Way Of Closing My Database?

Jun 15, 2006

Current Situation:
Right now when I close a form it will save the data and close.

Problem:
When somone goes in and messes up on something and they just want to exit without saving they cant do that. The data could have been changed and one may not remember what it was!

Solution Ideas:
I am thinking that a pop up window that says "Save Changes?" Yes/No then have it save or not. Could somone give me the details on how to do this or anything else that would solve this issue. Thanks.
