General :: Relinking Tables To BE On Network Share?
Aug 8, 2012
I am having trouble relinking tables in my Front End database to my Back End database. My BE DB is on a network share and when I try using the link table manager to navigate to the correct folder I get an error message upon entering the network share folder that says:
The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file "
etworkfolder" It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
I have permission to the folder and have ensured that this folder is a trusted location path.
In my 2002 Employee table, I have a field which is a hyperlink to photos: C:photosemployee1.bmp (This is what I have entered into the Field as the Hyperlink)...However, from other PCs, I connect to this database and photo folder as a different drive letter, say Z, so when I am on the other networked PCs, and I click on the Hyperlink field, the data will not come up?
I have problem sharing an Access 2013 file from one cumputer and then change the data in the file on another computer, or i can change it but the change wont be made one both computers.
I'm working so i need my secretary to be able to change information or add, but i also need to get the change.
I have another problem. I am having troubles relinking a front end (secured) database to a back end database and I am not familiar with security so I don't know if it is done through security. The problem is when I copy the backend to backup the front end then using the new address as a link to the frontend.
I didn't design the frontend so I am unable to enter to change the relink if it is secured.
Is there any programs or code (and where do I put it) to change the links. There should be as this is a simple problem.
Does anyone have any db's that show how to relink tables automatically on start up and also remove the links on shutdown, i've been searching everywhere on the net and can't seem to find anything decent, any help would be appreciated.
Credit goes to FoFa for posting this code on this form.
Attached you will find code to relink tables. I manage I am doing to wrong, and need help in order for it to execute correctly. I would appreciate direction.
What I am doing: Copying the modules over to my unsplit database. Creating a form called ReLink. Setting a macro (AutoExec) to open the the form. On the form's On Open event placing the function =TestIt Splitting the database. Verifying by opening FE that connection exists Moving BE and reopen FE. All I get is unable to connect the BE message. Form continues to open.
I have developed a distributed database application in Access 2003 that links to local SQL Server databases in each district office. Recently I updated to Access 2007 on Vista. When I go to relink the application to a district office database I keep getting a ODBC Call Failed error. To relink I delete the old ODBC DSN and created a new one for the particular district office. Current work around involves restarting the whole computer and it only works once. Luckily I still have my XP/Office 2003 computer behind me for now but keen to find out if anyone wlse has experienced similar problems.
I have also uninstalled/reinstalled Office 2007 just in case but no luck.
I'm building a database for my company who refurbish computers. I'm wanting to build in functionality for if a hard drive is damaged and it has to be replaced then for us to be able to trace (based on asset and tracking numbers) what hard drive has been removed from a PC and if it has been put into stock or destroyed and if a stock drive has been put into a PC.
Any item that is brought in whether it be a PC, laptop, server or hard drive etc is given it's own unique tracking number. Same is true for any stock we buy in for refurb purposes.
I'm thinking that this will be done by having a field for the original asset number and a field for the 'current' asset I.E. the one it's been put into.
We have a frontend/backend setup and one of the tables has almost 2 million records. I've used the SSMA tool for Access to SQLServer and upsized that table. Seems to have worked well.
Now I'm wondering if I should change the link directly on the frontend or link to the SQLServer from the backend and then update the links on the frontend?I'm mostly concerned about what happens to relationships if I rename the old table and then link to the new SQLServer table.
Hi, Newbie stuff I'm afraid; is it possible for the following to be achieved in Access; When a user inputs data into a Form in order to add data to an underlying table, can this same data populate another table that has the same field? If so, how is it done? Thank You
I created *.mdb database and I used (user-level security wizard) to give each user a username and a password. The dB file is saved in D: drive. The security wizard created a shortcut on the desktop to open the dB through it. After using that wizard I cannot open the database directly from drive D:.If I try to open it , it says"You don't have necessary permissions to use the database".Now, there are many users should use this db through the network.
I'm using access 2010. how should I share the access file I created that will be the best way?there are 20 users that need to add/edit/view the data.I read in some places that I need to do share on options and some said that I need to split the file to data and front file.
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.
I have to redesign the database as things has changed. I've already built a table holding records of Clients along with their address information and some attributes that relates to Clients.Now, I need to create a table for our Business contacts. This will also need to store address info and then some attributes relating to businesses. The problem is I'm not sure if I want to take address out of Client table and have Client and Business table link to Address table to follow the rule of not having any repeating data or simply allow Business table to store address.What would be the best thing to do here?Thanks.
I have a Access data base (2007) which i splitted and store the back end database in a file server where all users have full control and the individual copies of front end put in the users computers. Unfortunately when one user is using the programme, others can not use. Following error msg appears. Both back end and front end are running under shared mode ( not exclusive ).
"Could not use xxxxxx_Be.accdb; file already in use."
The following code works to change the column header name for a listbox in form view when the data source is a local table, but not when the data comes from a sharepoint list.
Code: sqlstatement = "SELECT ID, PONum as [PO Number], ActDate as [Date], VendorName as [Vendor Name], Service, BuildingNumber as [Building Number], ReservationDescription as [Description], POAmount as [Amount], QuoteType as [Type of Quote], Comments" & _ " FROM ActivityLog" & _ " WHERE (Activity = 'AcceptReservation') AND (PSCName = '" & Me.PSCCombo4.Column(0) & "')" & _ " ORDER BY ActDate;" 'MsgBox sqlstatement Me.EditPOListBox.RowSource = sqlstatement sqlstatement = ""
Also it appears that there is no such thing as a caption property for a sharepoint list column.
I have a database with a number of linked tables that are linked to tables in different databases (not a back-end).for example, I have table1 that is linked to table1 in K:databasedb1.mdb.table2 linked to table2 in S:datadata.mdb.and so on...
However, recently we have moved all our databases to a new location.
K:databasedb1.mdb is now residing in O:masterdatabase and S:datadata.mdb is now residing in O:masterdata and so on...
I'm now in charge of relinking all those tables to point to the new location.I would do this in linked table manager one by one but we have 100s of tables linked to multiple different databases in different location.is there a way to create a VBA code that will automatically do this re-linking process?
so, 1. find unlinkable tables 2. search its new location under O:master 3. re-link it to the new location
Database names and tables names have not been changed. Just the location of databases.
My DB is split into BE and FE into about 5 Laptops. The DB is for entering personal information of pensioners.
sometimes it becomes necessary to take a computer away from the office to capture data of sick and aged pensioners. Now if you take the server (BE) out all the other clients (FE) will not work, and if you take a client out it wont work.
To solve the issue I decided to install a standalone version of the db in all the clients. If out of the network, the standalone DB is used and later captured data to betransfered to the server.
My question: Is there a code that I can use to check if my server is available to start the FE or if unavailable to start the standalone?
i have made a database in access 2010 . and i have put that in a shared folder . split that into fe and be. and on my network i am using access 2010 runtime on other computer to access it . on that computer in registry settings i have trusted locations as //server/database i.e. in database folder i have the fe and be.i can open the fe but with potential security warning i.e. of trusted locations i think . and when i click open on it it doesnt open my forms those are linked with tables from navigation form and displays the error that is something concerned with location g:database which is on my server computer.
I've managed to grab the network login and place it on the data entry form which populates a table with said login...
I would like to know where and how I would use that same login ID elsewhere in db. I only want that loginID to be able to use forms and reports associated with it.
would I use in queries? on open events? not sure where to place this.
Some of my users have laptops and usually at work finish, they remove their laptops. The issue occurs when they restart their laptops again without network access and then they have some dialog boxes showing below messages:
"Your network access was interrupted and you should close MS access and restart."
When OK is pressed, some other messages like " Object invalid or not set" appears and by pressing many time OK, it does not reset. Last option is to use "Ctrl+Alt+Del".
I have a A2007 database that is split to a shared server that is experiencing unidentified network problems. While working in the front-end users receive the following message periodically:
Quote:Your network access was interrupted. To continue close the database and then open it again.If the users are working in a form including queried data, the data is lost and the file crashes. This happens even though the front-end is on the user's computer and no tables are currently being queried. My question is why must the network be stable even though the database is split and queries are not occurring? The form's record source is a table though. But even with this the record source connection is not needed until the form is closed.
I have a small Access DB (multi-user) on a network that keeps turning into a read-only DB, with a message bar saying please save as . . . and it will not let you complete that. It seems to lock the application, and when I can get everyone out and copy the file out I can finally get it back to its normal state.
I have a main computer where my Access Application runs but I also want other computers with the application runnign on it but linked to the backend database on the main computer, however when linking to the tables they are only read only.
How do you link to tables accross the network so you can read and writ e to them?
I have Access as front end and SQL Server as back end. The Access application is placed on a common network drive for theusers to access it. The compact on close option is enabled when the access application is closed.
I have a local copy of the access app. When I close the app, it takes ony a few seconds. But when on a network drive, it is taking 2 mins.I just wanted to know if the time taken to close the application on the network drive can be brought down without disabling the compact on close option.
