General :: Deploy Access DB To About 8 PCs In A Domain
Dec 10, 2013
I need to deploy an Access db to about 8 PC's in a domain.I use the "Linked Table Manager" to set the connection details to MS Sql Server using an ODBC data source.My problem is when I have it running on 1 PC in the domain I thought I could just copy it and put it onto other PC's and it would just connect to the database with no issues, but I get an ODBC error and I need to re-create the ODBC source again on that PC.
How can I deploy the Access DB with out having to do the ODBC settings again.
Might be a stupid question as I know a lot of access but it's the first time I'm doing this: What's the easiest way to deploy an access database (mdb) on a domain network to clients?
Any way to deploy the mde with a batch file? I been looking for way other than the autofeupdater. Can't get it to work since I prefere not to involve the users. I been getting bits and pieces; but it seems like you send a bat file to the users via email and when they run the script; it appends itself to the doc and settings in the users folder??
I need to send email with attachment on click of a button. We use emails like name@basepost.biz which is assigned to gmail.I tried the following code but it throws transport to server error.
Dim cdoConfig Dim msgOne Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration") With cdoConfig.Fields .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2
I tried my damnedest to find something about this elsewhere in the forums but drew a blank.. so i figured I'd see what asking the question direct yeilds.
I would like to initiate workgroup level security to my database. but have no password required because i want to tie it to the username that is logged into the computer when the user logs into the domain initially? any thoughts?
I have a user that cannot open .mde files on a share that he DOES have access permissions to. He gets this Access error on his desktop when he tries to hit the share:
Not a Valid Account name or Password
I can log onto the resource with his username, and password from my desktop with no problem.
Well, I've got my DB ready to go. Now what?I need to host it on our Win2003 server. How do clients use it?I think im getting more confused as I try to figure this out. We are a small company and I just want to be able to have everyone here use the database at the same time without too much fuss. Do I just have to have access on each machine and let them open it from the server, or is there more to it than that? I just don't want them to be able to get into the DB itself and modify things, just add entries and pull up reports.Thanks!
I have a subform (in continuous record view) which displays products on an order items form. Each record has a DMin control to find the lowest price for its product (each product can have many suppliers and therefore many prices). I need to put a control in the subform footer containing the sum of the minimum prices.
Access doesn't seem to want to sum calculated controls, so could someone please point me in the direction of how to go about doing this or achieving the same result through a different method?
We have a database created in access 2000 laying on a server that two clients connect to using access 2000 from WinXP Pro. We have just moved the database from our old win2000 server to a 2003 server. The clients now logon to a 2003 domain instead of the old 2000.
Since we moved to 2003 only one user can open the database at a time, when the second user tries to open nothing happens. There's no error message, there's just nothing happening! When the first user close access the other user can open the db.
Is there any way to lookup items using DLookup or other functions that will return an array of values not just the first value found. Example: I have three employees in a complaint query. I am using Dlookup to identify them on my employee form. When I get to the same employee/employee id on my employees form, I have a label that flashes red to flag me that this employee appears on that complaint query. The problem that I am having is that it only flashes for the first employee found in the query, and the label only flashes for that one person. I would like the label to flash for the other two employees because the function should see that they are in the query results as well. Help please?!!!
I have a form for my customers where i also fill in the email adresses, know i don't wan't to fill in the hole email adres each time. I have seen a acces database before that gives a list when you typed the @ sign in the email adres field.I know that the builder used a tbldomain for listing al the domains that the putin the database. and each time you tab to the field emailsadres you begin to type
example.. markrutten@ and when you type the @ there popup a list of the table [tbldomain] en you begin to type for example Hotmail.com but you can hit the entrebutton afther the letters hot because the match of Hotmail.com is already in the field.
Alright, I've got all the pieces to this puzzle, I just can't fit them together properly. I have two tables, tblTickets and tblTicketNotes. They are in a one-to-many relationship, there can be multiple Notes attached to a single ticket. I am trying to set up a query that will pull the first (earliest by date) note for each individual Ticket. Here are the fields from each table that would be of concern here:
tbTickets TicketID - Autonumber - Primary Key Issue - Text - I will be using this later as a criteria to limit with, but not neccessary
tblTicketNotes NoteID - Autonumber - Primary Key TicketID - Long Integer - This is the foreign key of the relationship DateStamp - Date/Time - This is the Note Date, I only want the first (earliest date) one Content - Memo -This is the note information I want
So all I want is the Content of the first/earliest Note for each individual Ticket. I know this should be fairly easy, but I am at a loss.
I am currently working on small access 2010 database where the database consists of a table and one input form. This input form will be mainly used by two persons. In the form there is a dropdown where one selects his name to keep record who entered the data, however I would like this to be according the logged in domain account. This will make sure none of them selects the wrong user by mistake.
Is there a way how get the current logged on domain account into the form ?
I am currently the administrator of a fairly large network and am trying to keep inventory of all my domain assets. I would like to be able to search for these assets by a number of different ways such as computer name, location name (ie: CEO office, accounts receiveable, or human resources), slot number on my switches (I would like to know whats connected to where), and also what switch it is located on. Right now I am using a combo box to populate these fields but would like to implement a search function instead to be able to search with whatever information I have.
i need domain aggregate functions to count the occurrences of specific value in a field, and when it exceeds 1, display null. or 'group by' subqueries with count() to see if you should populate the field or not.
I have created a query with the parameter for the Domain field. however on the form the user enters this information via a drop down menu. i was just wondering could the parameter box be set to a drop down box as well to save the user entering in the full Domain field name?
In an MS Access 2000 - SQL Server 2005 project I use a "Microsoft Office PivotTable 9.0" control on a form. The control is populated by a stored procedure. This works fine but when the pivottable opens a messagebox with the title "Microsoft Data Access Components" and a message "This page accesses data on another domain. Do you want to allow this ?" appears. After clicking "OK", a message box with title "Microsoft Office" and message "This website is using your identity to access a data source. If you trust this website, click OK to continue, otherwise click Cancel". After clicking "OK", the pivottable opens.
How can I get rid of these messages ?
On the internet I found some suggestion to add a website in the Internet Explorer settings "Trusted sites". What's the meaning of that ? The data for the pivottable is in a local SQL Server database, so which website do I have to add to the "trusted sites" ?
Any solutions for this problem ?
One other question: is there an alternative for the "Microsoft Office PivotTable 9.0" control ?
The situation is I have two queries, one uses the other as a source, and the other uses DSUM with the source query as it's domain.
For example: I have one query called RetailCDState, this prompts the user for the name of a state (i.e. Texas), and then prompts for the name of the CD (i.e. Joshua Tree). The query returns the number of CD's sold for each retail store entered for that state.
I have another query called, TotalRetailState. This query uses RetailCDState as it's source. I pull some fields down into the QBE so that the CDname, state, artist name, etc will be shown. This works.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM. I have created 3 expression fields: TotalCDSOLD, TotalCDSHIP, and TotalCDRETURN. In these expression fields I have used DSUM, I want to use the query RetailCDState as the domain, which the help files said I can. However, it's giving me an expression error saying that it can't find the 'state' or 'CD Name', which is what should prompt the user when the whole thing is executed.
I get 3 error messages, one for each expression field, and then it prompts the user for the correct input, but then doesn't display the information. Here is an example of my DSUM line TotalCDSHIP: DSUM("[NumofCDSold]","RetailCDState")
I shouldn't need any criteria, because the results of the RetailCDState is what I want to total.
I have made a form on access which will be used by other employees within the company, however they have never used access before and they are wanting to access only just the form as I feel with Access and all the tools in the background will confuse them, plus I don't want them editing the data base its self.
Is there a way to only bring up the form, unless I obviously need to edit the date base.
I've done some research on Google and it seems I need to use:
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
However I can not seem to find how I would use this or where?
and also if i did find a way to only bring up the form, how would I be able to switch it from that veiw to the veiw I edit in?
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.
Alright I have two tables, one is a user table, the other is one that holds the users roles. A user can have multiple different roles (up to 9). If you do a regular join on the tables you will get one that shows all the user information repeated each time for the number of roles they have. What I would like to do is design a form or something where the user can specify which role (1-9) they are interested in and the system will display all the users with that role. So for example show me the users that only have role 1 and no other role. I did this manually for one role by the following 1) Joining the two tables. 2) Setting a count to see which users have more then 1 role. 3) Eliminate any users the had more then 1 role. 4) Specify which role I want to display.
So is their some type of front end I can create where the user can specify what role they want to filter for with and without the exclusive roles?
how to lock access DB Tables ,Queries, Report so other's can not import them to other access database (without encrypting my database with password ).I've noticed when forms have VBA codes it cant be imported if they locked by password(VBA) !
