I have splited the system into foreend (FE) and backend (BE). FE and BE are located in different PC lying in company internat! However, I found there always give an error message 3219. And, nseems it is caused by not pointing correcly to the BE when I open tables, the syntax are as follows

Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Invoiceyr", dbOpenTable)
rs.MoveFirst

General :: Backend Server Name Path Length

Jul 16, 2014

I've always practiced to keep my backend table names to no more than 8 characters because of speed issues. Can this also goes for the server name? My current location looks like this now orld71-testing-aFinance..I am wondering if changing the server name with speed or is that only for folder names.

General :: Hyperlink Location - Hide Entire Path In Backend And Show Only Name Of File

Sep 26, 2013

I have a field named Location of type Hyperlink. I have copied the respective filepaths in those location column.The location filed looks like

M:New1234.pdf
M:New1111.pdf
M:New2222pdf
M:New4444pdf

If the user clicks on this link then the respective file should be open..I don't want the front end users to see the entire path. So, I would like to have the names as 1234.pdf in the location column instead of M:New1234.pdf. Is it possible to hide the entire path in the backend and show only the name of the file. so that if users click on 1234.pdf then the file needs to open.

General :: How To Share Access Database On Company Intranet

Jan 14, 2015

I want to consider ways of sharing an Access database within our company. This could be web-based via our intranet or done some other way.

I understand that Microsoft's preferred way of sharing via an Intranet is to use SharePoint. However, as we don't use SharePoint (we use Atlassian Confluence) the cost of that route would be prohibitive.

Any methods of sharing an Access database across, say, 20 people? Simultaneous read/write access would be required but in reality the usage will be low, so performance is not really an issue. I would like to consider web-based or other methods.

I have chosen Access 2013 simply because we use Office Professional 2013 and Access will be familiar to some developers. We could use a different product. But I would certainly prefer a tool that supports RAD design of forms.

General :: Many Front Ends And Only One Backend

May 7, 2013

I have (on a company network) a FrontEnd .accde and a backend .accdb - currently ~ 10 users (some over wifi - slow!)The FrontEnd is becoming a rather large file ~ 10 MB and is also becoming slower.I am looking to separate this in to 3 FrontEnd files as to simplify and to lessen the file sizes etc.

My question is - are there any issues around a 3 x FrontEnd databases all connecting to 1 x backend database holding all the tables - over a network?

General :: Backend Version Control?

Oct 23, 2012

I have completed the split and have deployed the backend to SharePoint. The front end is sat on my (and others) machines with linked tables to the SharePoint lists. This is all fine and works well.

Although this database is deployed, I am constantly working on a local copy of the database in design I.e. Tables being updated with fields and relationships and new tables being added. The reason for this is that work wanted something workable putting out there now and that I just continue its development in the background.

What is the best way to update the tables on SharePoint bearing in mind that users are putting new data on there? I don't want to lose what they are updating and then I need to redploy the 'new' backend to SharePoint again (no doubt in the same location) as that's where the front end is looking for it.how I can manage this version control of the backend without losing data.

General :: Deploying A Password Protected Backend

Sep 23, 2013

I have to do this and I believe there is VBA code to re-link tables when needed that can be found on the web. My client needs access to everything because he will move on to another developer after this, so what I thought I would do is send him a private file that has the password for the backend and then just write the ADO code needed in the app's front end to connect with the password.

General :: Invalid Path To Tables

Jan 20, 2014

My issue is an existing database in ms Access 2007, it runs great on the local computer, but now we are trying to share the database with other computers in the office across the network. We get an error when trying to open the database from any machine over the network

windows 7 home premium 64bit is hosting the database, trying to access the database across the network from windows 7 ultimate 32bit. I have mapped a drive to the shared folder of the database and added the network location to the trusted locations, I then placed a shortcut on the desktop to the database files, but I get an error that access can't find the tables, showing the correct path to the tables. "z:databaselah.mdb" What am I missing?I can open access and then open the tables from within access in table view, but in form view I get a blank page.

General :: Detect Broken Backend Connection At Startup

Feb 17, 2015

I have a split Access 2010 database. If the backend file is not accessible (for instance, if our shared folder connection is broken), I get no warning message at all when opening the front end. Just the home screen you would get when launching access from the Start menu. I was thinking of adding some VBA code to my startup form to give users a warning that there is a connection problem, but Access won't even load the startup form.

General :: Transfer Tables Directly To Backend Database?

Mar 12, 2013

I'd like to to import some large oracle tables from a remote server using "DoCmd.TransferDatabase..." on a daily basis. Currently, the system works, but my database is getting quite large (800 Mb) and I'd like to split off the tables to a back end database.

Is there a way to import directly to the back end database? The postings that I've seen seem to imply that one must first import the tables into my front end, then export them into the back end. Does that sound correct?

I'm at home right now, but will give it a try when I get to work. It just seems like there's got to be a more direct way!

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 :: Split Database With Not Valid Path

Nov 6, 2013

I am attempting to split an Access 2007 database. My company has two locations. From my location we are remote connecting into the server. While down there they are connecting directly. When I split the database, people in my location can use it fine. When people down there use it, they get a not valid path error.

This is because the network drives are mapped differently. I have been reading that the solution is to use the UNC for the back end file path.

General :: MSysObjects And / Path To Linked Tables

Dec 11, 2013

Due to software licensing restrictions, my (Access 2007) development pc is NOT (may not be) connected to the network.The user pc's are all connected to the network.The network pc's only gets Access 2007 Runtime.The Front-end accde will be located at C:mydbFE heFE.accde on each user's pc.The Back-end will be located at X:mydbBE heBE.accdb (network share).

Currently (during development) the Front-end and Back-end is at C:mydbDEVFE and C:mydbDEVBE respectively - on my development pc, and the linked tables are pointing to C:mydebDEVBE.Now that I'm ready to distribute the database to the user pc's, I obviously need the Front-end's Linked Tables to point to X:mydbBE heBE.accdb

Where does Access2007 store the path to the Linked-Tables ? Is there a way I can change this path manually before making the accde ?I noticed that the path to the linked tables appear in the (hidden) MSysObjects table, but I do not want to mess with it until I know what the solution is.

General :: Using Hyperlink Data Type And Textbox To Get Path

Jul 24, 2014

Im trying create a new form to add our current database that will password protect excel, word and if possible pdf documents when they are dragged onto it.

For now I only have 2 boxes 1 containing the password to be applied and the other to drag the file onto.

I have it all working so once its dragged on it works out if its a word doc, opens a hidden instance of word which then resaves it with a coded password.

The problem comes when change it so the user enters the password to protect it, when they enter a password or click on the drag box it doesn't allow the drag. it seems once they have entered the record the drag option is not available anymore.

General :: Browse Button To Open File Path

Jul 22, 2012

I have a field on a form which the user currently has to manually type in the file path to a specific picture on a local drive. After the file path is entered, the path is linked and the picture is shown in an image box. I did this because I didnt want to bog the database down with attached files.

I wondered if I could have a browse button, which when pressed brought up the browse window to allow you to locate the image (using the standard windows browser). Then when you clicked ok, it writes the filename into the correct field on the form.

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 :: Block Pathway To Backend Folder But Allow Access Via Frontend Database

Jul 17, 2012

If I have an MS Access frontend that connects to an MS Access backend, is there a way to hide/permission block the pathway to the backend's folder but still allow access via the frontend db?

Right now I can't dedicate a server to a more "secure" form of DB or anything like that so I'm stuck with MS Access for now. I just don't want someone looking at, say, a link table path and then navigating to that folder and getting access to backend information.
