General :: How To Use Access 2010 Setting Compact On Close

Apr 17, 2013

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?

General :: Switch Off Compact On Close

Dec 25, 2014

I am using Access 2010.

Under options, current database I have DESELECTED "compact on close"

Still all my databases are compacting on close. How can I prevent Access to compact on close?

Problem is that we work under Citrix and sometimes things happens with Citrix that they have to reboot all the servers.

The databases tries to close and compact and don't get enough time, so I get mdb copies.

Besides I recently had only the compacted database1.mdb while my file Name.accdb was gone, so again the compact was wrong.

General :: Compact On Close - Back End?

Apr 3, 2015

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.

DoCmd.Quit
End Function

General :: Calendar Synchronization - Access 2010 To Outlook 2010

Mar 23, 2015

I wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?

Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.

Tables :: Compact On Close Drops Several Indexes

Oct 5, 2012

I cannot cause a database to refrain from dropping several table indices during a Compact on Close operation. I am running Access 2010 under Windows xp.I have created a database that merges data in a linked text file with data in a linked database, appending the results in a local table. The database has the Compact on Close option set. The table has 27 indices (because most of the fields either are coded or are potential select or sort fields) and nearly 1 million records.

I run a delete query to clear the contents of the table, I close (and compact) the database, I reopen the database, and I run the append query. The indices in the target table are intact. I close (and compact) the database again; when I reopen the database, indices are missing -- sometimes about 10, other times nearly two dozen!

This table is linked to a larger system, which contains code to run the sequence outlined above. Whether run manually or in code, as stand-alone or as a component, indices are dropped. When I close the database with the table containing no records, the indices are not affected. After appending records, but before closing, the database contains 1.66GB. The drive on which the database resides has 42GB free.As suggested with regard to a number of other unexplainable issues, I have created a new database and imported all objects from the original database. The results persist. The larger system performs accurately without the indices, but the performance against a table this massive is horrible.

General :: Access 2013 - Compact Database To New Name

Jan 30, 2015

Access 2013 ... Is it possible to compact a database to a new name?

(In previous incarnations of Access I regularly 'compacted and repaired' databases to USB sticks rather than simply copy the file in the (mistaken??) belief that this was a more reliable approach)...

I can't see where to do this in Access 2013!

General :: Access 2010 And Access 2003 On Same Desktop?

Mar 5, 2013

is there a way to have both Access 2010 and 2003 exist peacefully on the same desktop. My company uses Office 2010, but my department has an Access 2003 application. As a result, I have to have A2003 on my desktop and use it quite frequently for this one application.

I have some small databases that I really want to move onto A2010 so we can take advantage of SharePoint functions, etc. Is there anytning I can do to be sure that the .mdb and .mde open in A2003 and the new .accdb opens in A2010, without getting errors and the Windows installer going through the Office installation process for the respective version? I've gone to the file locations and set the "Open with" setting to the respective version.

General :: How To Access 2007 / 2010 Colour Picker

May 1, 2013

I've been updating the look of some of my db's and am trying to access the new style colour picker per Office 2007/10.

Up to now I have been using

Private Declare Function ChooseColorAPI Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias "ChooseColorA" (pCHOOSECOLOR As ChooseColor) As Long

which displays the pre 2007 style.

I've looked all over the web but cannot find anything relating to the current style (other than using it from the ribbon or control properties), so not sure if I should be looking for a different function or a change to the ChooseColor type values.

All db's are running 32bit access and at the moment 32bit OS but will no doubt have OS upgrades to 64bit soon.

General :: Access 2010 - Search Key Was Not Found In Any Record

Dec 10, 2014

I have a split database with several attachment fields that work fine.

When I try to create a new attachment field in the BE, upon opening the FE, I get the following error: "The search key was not found in any record."

I have tried several ways: first create the attachment entry in the BE, then I can't open the FE. Create it first in the FE, leave it unbound and then create it in the BE - same error.
