there is a need to make access database (access 2007) accessible over net. I know Access Database is not web based application. So I want to know if there is any way of making it accessible via net.
View Replieshow to make my database accessible (read only) on other pcs?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIt's an Access 2003 database which I want authenticated web users to be able to write new records to.
I don't think a Data Access Page is the right way to do this, is it? If something else, e.g. ASP could someone possibly point me in the right direction with steps 1, 2 and 3 :D
I have a problem with a cleint-Server accessdb that I created and works fine. But rarely (may be once in a week), I get a record lock file (normaly 1kb size) which is not the normal record lock taht appears when the system runs. This file does not get closed even if the db is closed. Also, I can delete it and I can access the db again. when this lock file exists, I cannot access the db.

I was under the impression that I could create a database, package it as its own program and give it to someone that does not have access and it would still work? If not, how would I do such a thing.

View 11 Replies View RelatedIs it possible in Access 2007 to make only the Switchboard and / or Forms accessible / visible users and prevent them from making any changes to structures of tables, queries, forms and reports? I want to do this without splitting database preferably. Even if you split database, queries are not protected. Users can still open queries in design mode and fiddle around with them, thus potentially corrupting objects based on them.
thanks
I am looking to design a simple stock database for work. This is just an idea at the moment, unless I can get my head round this problem.
I have throught that I can have 3 tables
NEW STOCK(this is where you enter all new and existing stock is)
USED STOCK(this is where all the stock that has been sold used for whatever reason is entered)
ACTUAL STOCK(this is where the items in NEW STOCK have the items sold in USED STOCK deducted from them to give you the ACTUAL STOCK)
PLEASE HELP ME, am I completely on the wrong line or can I do this?
Would be good if I didnt have to use SQL, VBA etc...
Ive just started creating the table..and Ive put fields like name/address etc as text but there are a few fields that need you to select an option...so i want to use the "lookup wizard" to create a listbox or combo box dont know which is best.. BUT the problem is when I select lookup wizard it says "unable to start lookup wizard. The lookup wizard doesnt apply to fields of this data type".
Why does it say that?
I need help making a front and back end to my database. How should I do it!?!? All I know is what I should put in the front end and what goes in the back end. The rest needs to be explained to me somehow...
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do I make my database so only the creator (myself) can edit the tables, forms etc and other users see an interface starting with the switchboard, which they can't use any database tools except what the forms allow them to do?
Basically some kind of user permissions.

Hi,
I have discovered a problem with my database and wonder if anyone here can point me to the best solution...
The problem is this... when I took our company database over about 3 years ago it was around 45MB... now it is almost 350MB and growing steadily.
I have today discovered the main cause of this... the audit trails on a couple of the tables. If I remove these 2 fields only from the database it cuts it down to under 100MB. The Audit trail is quite important for us and so I'd like to keep it if I can. It is stored in a memo data type (the data is well over the 255 char limit of a text box). Is there any other better way to store this data or is there anything I can do to reduce the size of the memo data type?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
We have a shared personnel access database for our department. Another department is wanting to use the same database. Is there a way to go about deleting all the info and making a template to give the other dept to use?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAs my database is growing and hold more and more data i want to make a daily backup to the local hard disk (it works on a network now) automatically.The way i want it to work is as follows :
When a user quits the application i want to check if there is a copy already existing with the date of today.
If it does it skips the copy process and just quits.
If it doesn't, i want it to make a backup in a directory. if the directory doesn't exist it must be made.
The backup file name must hold the date of today off course.
I realize that i have to have a procedure to delete obsolete (outdated) backups as well, but ill worry about that later.
Off course Ive tried this a few times, otherwise i wouldnt ask it here. But i seem to fail every time..
Sometimes extensive updates have to be made to a table using an update query or loop through a record set.
In order to be able to undo changes in case of a mistake I am thinking about the following procedure:
In code:
1 - Make a copy of the table
2 - Make the changes in the original
3 - Check if updates are correct and if so: delete the copy and if not:
delete the default table and rename the copy so it will be the original.
Is that common practice or not?
I need to start using the database I've created (desktop database). However, I don't want my current version to be the final version.
Should I create another file to work in and use the old version for data entry? When I am ready to start using my new version, is it easy enough to transfer all the data from the old?
I have created a database of club members in Access 2010. Each day I need to generate a report of who comes to the club. Up to this point I have been using an Excel spread sheet of members that I copy and paste to new daily spreadsheets each day. how to do this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to set up a saved import procedure in an Access database that will be run programmatically using docmd.RunSavedImportExport. The source document is an Excel file.My goal is to trap any import errors caused by inconsistencies in the source data. I'd also like to provide the user with some small amount of feedback on what is causing these errors.
My initial thought was to make use of the "File_ImportErrors" table that is generated following an unsuccessful import. *Not once* has this import procedure consistently generated an error table - sometimes the table is created, sometimes it isn't.
I have tried changing the file format of the import file to comma- and tab-delimited files, respectively. Both of these formats do consistently generate an error table, however none of the error values in the table are accurate - it reports a slew of type conversion errors for fields that are completely consistent and unproblematic, whilst completely overlooking conspicuous errors from text strings in date fields.
I have tried the same import, both procedurally and manually, using all available Excel and text-delimited formats, with the same respective results.I notice that nearly every thread on AWF pertaining to error tables discusses how to delete them, rather than make effective use of them. I suspect this is perhaps why?
I have a back-end db in access 2010, linked to a set of sharepoint tables on office365.
I want to make a completely unlinked copy of the db to store a "snapshot" of the data on a fixed date.
I have tried "save as" using the "Save as Local Database" option, but for some reason, it still saves as linked tables.
How to go about it?
I'm trying to enter data in an access datasheet view in sharepoint. I need to merge cells in the same Column but have the cells to the right in the other columns retain linked to that merged column. Any way to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhere I can get some better pictures for my access database. The standard ones are really not all that great. I am looking for a stock pile of pics that I can place in my files so that I can draw upon them whenever I am designing my database.
I just havent had much luck designing buttons in GIMP.
I plan on using Excel as the front-end and Access as the back-end only. (all queries and forms are in Excel). A single Access database will be queried from multiple Excel files that will be located on the share drive (Linux server). Access tables contain memo, text and number fields. Data will be sent to Access tables and records will be appended/deleted; all via Excel.
There will be multiple users interacting with a single Access database via multiple Excel files located on the shared drive. Users will be interacting from different workstations with Windows 7, all have Access 2010 and Excel 2010 installed.
This process works for me from my workstation but I am not sure what will happen when other 4 people will be sending/appending/deleting records to the same Database? How do I make this work? What settings do I need to check in Access to make this possible?
I am about to allow users to access a database I redesigned for others to use.I am trying to save it as an ACCDE so they can't mess it up. The database is very very simple.6 tables each with only 4 fields or less... and none are related to one another
7 forms.
1 report.
0 queries... it's just a SKU generator.
When I attempt to save as ACCDE I get an error that reads."Microsoft Access was unable to create the .accde, .mde, or .ade file.This error is usually associated with compiling a large database into an MDE file.* Because of the method used to compile the database, a considerable number of TableID references are created for each table.* The Access database engine can only create a maximum of 2048 open TableIDs at one time.* Exporting a database as an MDE potentially can exceed this limit if the database has a large number of objects (table, macro, form, report, etc).
There is no accurate method to estimate the number of TableIDs the Access database engine uses during the process of compiling a database as an MDE.* However, each VBA module and each form uses one TableID, as a result, if the database has 500 forms, and each form's HasModule property is set to Yes, as many as 1,000 TableIDs are used."
I got an access database but how do i make it to be able to publish to web and allow phone browser to access and enter data as well?
