View RepliesI am in the process of building a new database in SQL to replace my MS Access database. However, I will continue to use the Access forms, queries, and reports. The new tables will house much of the same data. In multiple tables I have hyperlinks that were created and added in the original Access tables. To import these hyperlinks into the new SQL tables I have converted them to 'Long Text' before exporting, thus changing them into strings.
For example:
Hyperlink - Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) has been changed to:
Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010)#ServernameServerfolderDocumentationRea dy to GoOutlook TemplatesEmail - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010).oft#
The obvious issue that I am running into is that after the SQL database table has been linked to the Access database it still displays the entire string when I open the table. The form has a textbox and search button that is used as a search function. This runs a query that returns all "search results" for the desired information. Is there a way that the query can convert the string back into a hyperlink so that the query displays just Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) as a hyperlink and not the entire string?
I have a (Access Data Project) ADP project which was created in Access 2003.I need to convert it into an ACCDB file with Access 2007. How to do this besides exporting each and every table, query,report etc one by one ? I was hoping there was something where I could import or export the whole thing in one go.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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 have a database which is split so that several people can have a 'front end' to the database to access one common back end. This works fine on a network but I thought I could load the backend up to my webspace and then with the links manager point to it, but it doesn't work. I get an error report of 'not a valid file name.'
The website is [URL] .... and the backend database name is Probus_data_A.accdb and so I entered [URL] .... as the address in link manager.
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.
So i want to protect the back end of a database but im limited to what I can do....I am unable to restrict members from accessing the file by username...I am unable to place it in a local area which is pass protected...I am also unable to encrypt the back end as the front end needs to be able to access it (and I dont know how to allow it to do that...)
View 2 Replies View RelatedHave a database with a back end that I have been working on. The database resides on a USB at the moment. I was ready to deploy and now when I try to re-link the back end tables, I repeatedly have the following error: "Your network was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again."
At first I thought this was something to do with the network, as I was moving it to a shared network drive. However, I can recreate the same issue using someone else's computer and using my USB (although it's mapped to a different drive letter). I've tried a few things, including recreating the back end by importing only the table structure, but still no luck.
I am using accdb but I wanna convert some datas into mdb, but I really don't know how to do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created an access 07 database and split it to a back-end and a front-end with linked tables.
I wish to deploy it an a network of 4 computers, 3 of which are running on XP. The back-end will be on a computer running on XP. Now, from the instructions I have come across online, the Back-end has to be located on a folder where all users have Red and Write rights!!! And I am thinking, if the users on this network can actually see the back-end since it is on a shared folder where they have all the rights, then does that not compromise the security?
Is there a way of linking to the back-end on a network WITHOUT the users being able to access the back-end?
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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've created a custom ribbon for my end users (Access 2010) and everything looks and works great except for one issue that is becoming a deal breaker for me and my end users:
I've got a number of tabs on my custom ribbon and on each tab there are a number of buttons that open various forms and reports. Anytime one of those forms or reports is opened and then closed, the ribbon jumps back to the first tab in my custom ribbon. So if you were on tab 3, opened a form and then closed it, you would be jumped back to tab 1.
Any workaround for what seems to be "by design" behavior for custom ribbons? The built-in ribbon does not do this.....
I 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?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Access 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.
I have a database with a front end and back end (tables on the server) that was recently converted from Access 2003 to Access 2010.
For some reason the back end keeps hanging and I have to constantly compact and repair and there has been major data loss on a regular basis.
I 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?
