I have created a copy of an access file to make some changes to tables, forms and etc. Some of them are deleted, new ones created or the codes are changed.
Is there a way that I can apply all the changes to the original file?
How do I make an accdr file out of an accde file?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to split up the filename into four separate fields. Here's an example of the filename:
123112 427900 55261 1156833.jpg
A 12312
B 427900
C 55261
D 1156833
The values A, B and C are always the same number of characters. The last value, D, changes in size. It can be anywhere from four characters to twenty. But it always starts at position "20" as with "1" in the case of the 1156833. The extension, jpg, is of no value.I might also add my programming ability is close to nonexistent.
Would it be ok just to make a copy of the BE file (every so often) rather than to make a copy via code?The user can then just paste over the original if it becomes corrupt.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo 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?
i have develop an application in Ms Access, now i want to have setup file for that, how a setup file can be created.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHey guys.. I am trying to make my DB into an MDE file however that option which is in Tools > Database Utilities is not highlighted on this particular database. Anyone know why? Thanks!
EDIT - This features seems to be inactive on all atabases on my computer (I haven't tried another computer yet). I am using Access 2000 and running Win XP Hme. SP1.
I created an Access/VBA database with a number of forms, reports, tables etc and I want to make it an MDE file.
I split the database into a front end and back end, relinked the two and tested it fine. Then I read I had to convert to 2002-2003 format. Again I did that and relinked and retested, so far so good.
However, when I go into the front end and try to make an MDE file I have a problem. It asks me to select the database, so I point it at the front end (Dry Clean) and then it asks for the name of the MDE to create (Dry Clean1) after that if I look in the folder it immediately creates a db1 and then sits there eating up cycles until I cancel it.
I have let it run for over an hour and it is just a blank screen with 'Make MDE/ADE' down in the lower left. I look in task manager and it says it is not responding, but it is eating up most of the CPU and doing some IO (thus I let it run for an hour once). If I cancel it and go into db1 (which is not the name I specified) it says that the VBA files don't exist and just keeps popping up errors.
Is this a bug? Did I miss a step? Am I just doing this wrong?
I need to make this last step to 'blackbox' the code from the users to complete this project.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-) Thanks.
Hi,
I'm using A2003 to try and create an mde file but it is not playing ball. The mdb is compiling fine with no errors but when I click on "make mde file" and supply the path/filename, Access appears to try to open the mdb again and prompts me with a security warning saying that 'opening this type of file may be harmful.....etc'. The mde does not get created. Any ideas?
I have a problem. This problem is that when I generate the report, I want to show a save file dialog box. How can I do this and and retrict the files show to only "*.pdf" files. I tried it as follow:

With FDialog
.Filters.Add "Acrobat Files", "*.pdf" .Show
End With
End Sub
error is araised when executing .Filters.Add "Acrobat Files", "*.pdf": Object doesnt support property or method.
ALSO How can I pick the path the user selected?
Thanks

I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
I've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.
One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.
Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?
Can anyone help me with setting up a Visual Basic project to where the datasource I use is a Access database on my harddrive. This Access database isn't linked to a server or anything. It's just a database I created and would like for my project to open this file everytime it's attempting to pull data. How can I make this connection? If I am able to use ADO, how do I go about doing this? I would think ADO wouldn't be necessary though.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to follow a hyperlink to a file without using a file extension?
I have links being created based on the name of a file, but because I haven't used a file extension it crashes.
I know I can give the user a choice of what the file extension is and add it to the hyperlink, but it's an extra step, and another place for someone to make a mistake.
I'm potentially using 3 different file types, Word, Excel and PDF's.
The hyperlink works if I just reference a drive/folder, or if I add the file extension.
I use a batch file to distribute the front end of a database application. Currently, everytime the user clicks the shortcut on her desktop, the batch file executes and copies the front end from a network location to user's local machine. The FE is updated like every couple of days. The users run the database more frequently.
I would like to modify the batch file so that it checks some attribute of the FE file to decide whether it needs to be updated. I can't rely on file size, since the FE includes temporary tables. I essentially need something like the "tag" property of form controls, only for files. It would be ideal if it was me who sets this property, like "version number". Except it has read without opening the file itself.

I have an existing database being used for for order processing (normalized, working). The order table houses the general order info and a separate detail table holds 1 or more orderdetail records for each order in the order table, related by orderID.
A user has asked that I find a way to import her data into the system from an excel spreadsheet. She has individual columns for each type of order detail record, so for each "order" row, there may be 1 or more columns of "orderdetail"s that I will need to parse into the correct tables.
I imported the raw excel into a table, but I need to append that data into the order and orderdetail table rows (i.e. I have to create the order and orderdetail records that match every other record in the system).
It looks like I need to somehow perform a looped INSERT INTO [ORDER] (field1, field2....) VALUE (val1, val2) but there are those related detail records to contend with (the orderdetail table entries) which may be more than one insert....
Test set of data is attached.
How can i get vba to do this.
When i click a button on the main form the vba code will execute and get the value from the combobox ie TE4700 and locate the macro with the same name ie TE4700 with reports in then it will run the macro and print off the reports.
