Nov 12, 2012I 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.

Sep 28, 2012Using 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 :: Backup BACK-END Of A Split Database
Jan 24, 2014I am trying to use VBA to backup the BACK-END of a split database (so I can automatically archive selected data). If I use FileCopy I get a message that the BACK-END database has not been found.Obviously I could 'unlink' the BACK-END, copy it and 're-link' it..Is it possible to copy the BACK-END tables(not just the links) into the FRONT-END and get at them that way?

Aug 5, 2012I 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 :: Split Database - Modify Backend File And Make A New Front End
Jun 12, 2012So 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 :: Split Database - Prevent Linking To Back End
Jun 25, 2015I have a split database. I have secured the mde sufficiently but I need to secure the back end so that no one could link to tables in it. If I introduce a password to the back end is this going to require those using front end to supply the password? If not then this could be good solution.
As the database is on the network drive, is there any other way to prevent people to link to the db? Can I hide the db in the network drive? Or should I hide tables in the BE. Should these still be available to be linked?
General :: Added Table To Back End Not Linking Up To Front End
Jun 22, 2012I did a search in here as well as Google to figure out why when I relinked the front end to the back end after adding 2 tables to the back end that the tables did NOT show up on the front end. Only the original tables that I began with.From what I have read there are different ways to do it. One suggestion on here was to create the table on the front end and export it to the back end. I guess I will have to do this going forward.
But my question is, after searching pages upon pages with no luck, since I already have the tables in the back end how do I tell the front end to find them and link them?
General :: Access 2010 Split Database Hyperlinks Not Working / When Copy Of Front End Moved
Jul 14, 2014I 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?

Modules & VBA :: Adding Table To Back End Of Database
Feb 27, 2015Can I create a table in the back end of my database using VBA in the front end? My client is using this system and I can't easily go to their location. I need to create a table on the back end and have it available in the front end applications. My thought is to create a front end only for the purpose of updating the backend with this new table. My idea is now to have it open with a button for the user to click - this will add the table to the backend with the required fields, confirm the update was completed and then close. This app then would be trashed so it would not be run again. (Though I would put a check in the VBA that if the table existed, the user would get a message box and the coding stopped to avoid overwriting the existing file.)
And once the table is created, is there a way to programmatically link it to the front end. I will be providing a new front end with this update so I could add something in the new version.

Dec 29, 2011I want to create a split-database. I want the entries made on the front-end to update into a combined table in the back-end.
Back-end: One table with everyones entry
Front-end: Multiple forms that feed into the back-end.
When person A accesses his front-end form, he can only see his entries.
When person B accesses his front-end form, he can only see his entries.
When manager A wants to look at the back-end, he can see everyones entry in one table.
General :: Update Front End With New Back End File Location
Dec 12, 2013Access 2010
Objective?: I'm attempting to change the file location of the back end portion of my split database.
What I've done so far: I've used the linked table manager to update the back end location of all tables in the front end portion of the database.
Symptoms: When making a change to the OLD back end: If I change the name or move the old back end and then try to re-open the front end, Access opens as if I'm opening the application itself without any database associated with it until I restore the OLD back end to its appropriate state.
When making a change to the NEW back end: If I change the name or move the new Back end and then try to re-open the front end, I get a: "Could not find file" error message until I restore the new back end to it's appropriate state.
I've just discovered a query that I think put me one step closer to resolving this issue. [URL] .....
When I run this query:
Code:
SELECT MSysObjects.Database
FROM MSysObjects
GROUP BY MSysObjects.Database, MSysObjects.Type
HAVING (((MSysObjects.Type) In (4,6)));
It returns 2 results:
1. The path of my old back end
2. The path of my new back end.
Unfortunately I'm not able to update the values from the Datasheet, but this does confirm to me that the old back end is still some how being used by the front end even after my tables have all been updated.
General :: Linking Front End With Multiple Back Ends
Sep 30, 2014My question encompasses a front end connected to multiple back ends. It is probably a mundane point, but reading a few articles didn't seem to touch on it.
By this, let me toss out that I am thinking of the personnel where I work when I say 95% have a hard time using email and MS Word, let alone mundane functions like find a file, etc. As such, I have to make my front-ends extremely user friendly.
With that in mind, when developers have multiple back ends, what are thoughts about the best way to relink when required? Even when there are 'more sophisticated' users? Security not an issue or is an issue (inasmuch as can be handled in access)?
Ex: Large corporation with a multitude of user ability. Large database with say 3 different back ends.
I was thinking about keeping a front-end table with each table name and UNC path, hard coding paths to corresponding table names, etc.
Personally I don't have a need for multiple back-ends, but the question came up while reading.
One User Of Split Database Front-end Can't Launch A Form
Jun 25, 2014I have a 2007 back-end db on a network share and around 15 regular users who access it through their own front-end db/interface. One user on Windows 7 is able to launch and use his front-end copy fine except when he goes to launch one form for data entry.
This form clocks and freezes the entire application. I sat with him and was able to determine that the issue is that the form_load code is never running. He clicks on the button to launch the form (done in vba) and the code never runs. If he opens the form in design view first then changes to form view, the code runs fine and there are no issues. This is his present work-around, but I had to give him an unlocked FE copy to pull it off (not ideal!).
I tried this with him on different PCs, with different front-end copies, and even in the back-end copy. Same result each time. None of the other users have this issue, and he can replicate this issue on different PCs. I'm at a loss for what might be causing this since it really seems so user-specific.
Split Database, Roll Back Can I?

Split Database Back End On FTP Or Web Server
Jul 12, 2007Hi, I am not sure where to put this thread hopefully someone here can help me.
I have spent a good deal of time developing a very effective access database for a client. It is split into a front end and back end and connected using the Linked Table Manager when necessary.
The front end is quite loaded with queries, reports, forms, macros etc and the back end simply has the tables.
The front end is about 15 mb and the back about 8 mb.
Current set up is a small workgroup network with about 4 -5 consecutive users at any one given time.
I am looking for some advice on how to set up or facilitate getting the backend on the internet so anyone with a front end can access it outside of the LAN.
Today I set up an account with WebDrive which can connect to and assign a drive letter on your pc to any FTP, HTTP site.
I made the connection with WebDrive and using the linked table manager successfully linked the tables on my local machine to the back end on the FTP server - and actually ran the database at a pretty good rate.
I noticed however that it was downloading the backend to my local pc and once I closed the (a) form it was uploading the data back to the server? Very slow and often threw errors.
This of course is not what I wanted. Has anyone heard of doing this? Any work arounds or setting params would be greatly appreciated.
I have been told to create the DB in ASP but I do not have any idea on how to do that whatsoever...
Any advice or insight would be awesome!
Thanks!

Moving Split Database Back End To Sql Server
Jan 8, 2015So the database I have right now is split, with the back end on our server. Everything has been going great, however there are several second time delays when loading large forms, queries, etc. I've heard that moving the back end to an sql server is the way to go for speed.All forms and queries are on front end of database. Tables are located on the back end which is sitting on the server.
