General :: Switch Off Compact On Close

Dec 25, 2014

I am using Access 2010.

Under options, current database I have DESELECTED "compact on close"

Still all my databases are compacting on close. How can I prevent Access to compact on close?

Problem is that we work under Citrix and sometimes things happens with Citrix that they have to reboot all the servers.

The databases tries to close and compact and don't get enough time, so I get mdb copies.

Besides I recently had only the compacted database1.mdb while my file Name.accdb was gone, so again the compact was wrong.

General :: Compact On Close - Back End?

Apr 3, 2015

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.

Apr 17, 2013

How would I use the Access 2010 setting, 'Compact on close'?We have a back end on a server and many users with front ends on their computers. So would I set 'Compact on close' on the back end? And then it would compact when the last user logged out?

Error Message Displays When Trying To Close The Form/switch To Design View

May 4, 2006

I have a form with a subform in it. On the main form, I have a combo box with a list of program numbers to choose from. Once one is selected, the subform displays all the unpaid invoices under that program number. This part works fine. The problem occurs when I try to close the form, switch to design view, or scroll the subform to the right. Basically, the error message says that the record can't be saved because it would create a duplicate value in the index/primary key. However, this form is used to display information only. I have disabled the edit, delete and addition abilities, so I can't figure out why it thinks I am trying to change or add a new record. Any help would be appreciated.

I figured it might make things easier if I included a copy of the database, so here it is.

The form is called SETR, and the subform is AllInfo subform.

Tables :: Compact On Close Drops Several Indexes

Oct 5, 2012

I cannot cause a database to refrain from dropping several table indices during a Compact on Close operation. I am running Access 2010 under Windows xp.I have created a database that merges data in a linked text file with data in a linked database, appending the results in a local table. The database has the Compact on Close option set. The table has 27 indices (because most of the fields either are coded or are potential select or sort fields) and nearly 1 million records.

I run a delete query to clear the contents of the table, I close (and compact) the database, I reopen the database, and I run the append query. The indices in the target table are intact. I close (and compact) the database again; when I reopen the database, indices are missing -- sometimes about 10, other times nearly two dozen!

This table is linked to a larger system, which contains code to run the sequence outlined above. Whether run manually or in code, as stand-alone or as a component, indices are dropped. When I close the database with the table containing no records, the indices are not affected. After appending records, but before closing, the database contains 1.66GB. The drive on which the database resides has 42GB free.As suggested with regard to a number of other unexplainable issues, I have created a new database and imported all objects from the original database. The results persist. The larger system performs accurately without the indices, but the performance against a table this massive is horrible.

General :: Removed Submenu Access On Login Form - Cannot Switch To Design Mode

Apr 21, 2015

I'm working on a login form and *not thinking* I removed access to the submenu. I had already set the form up so that you either login correctly or exit the program. I'm working in code for the form and I know it's possible to reactivate the menu in code, I just don't know how. And I can't switch to design mode. The form is set up to not allow anything to happen until the correct login has been entered, and I either had a typo when I set up my test login or the program is bugged and only says it's incorrect....

General :: Access 2013 - Compact Database To New Name

Jan 30, 2015

Access 2013 ... Is it possible to compact a database to a new name?

(In previous incarnations of Access I regularly 'compacted and repaired' databases to USB sticks rather than simply copy the file in the (mistaken??) belief that this was a more reliable approach)...

I can't see where to do this in Access 2013!

Nov 9, 2012

In my access applications i have used the database split built in functionallity to split my frontend and backend tables.I have created a mail mechanism and when the database grows to that level i recieve a mail, ask users to get out of the database and compact the database.

General :: Unable To Close A Form With Subform

May 30, 2015

I am trying to close a form with a subform.

I enter data in the main form and then the subform.

The main form has a save btn with an on click event which includes at the end of code

If Me.Dirty then
Me.Dirty = false
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "FormName"

However the Form will only close and open the required form if I remove the two "Dirty" Code lines.

I am obviously trying to ensure that the data is saved on both the main and subforms using the If Me.Dirty......code

General :: Close Database When A File Is Not Found

Feb 12, 2015

I have this code that I want to close the database when a file is not found:

Option Explicit
Dim boolCountDown As Boolean
Dim intCountDownMinutes As Integer
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
boolCountDown = False

[Code] ....

A form with this code is opened when the database is loaded. The form refreshes every 10 seconds. When the form refreshes, it searches (is supposed to search) for a file name and if not found, close the database. but if it's found it does nothing. I rename the file when I want the database to close. But the code runs no matter what and closes the database even if the file is in the correct location with the correct name. the file path above is a network drive but it doesn't work no matter when I put the file. I bolded the parts that are supposed to be searched.

General :: Pop Up Process Running MsgBox And Close Automatically On Execution

Aug 23, 2013

I have a form that loads when the database is open, and the form has buttons etc. that leads to queries and reports in the database. (Queries open in a form). Since most queries take a while to load, I was wondering if there is a way to Pop up a message box stating "Please Wait, Query is running..." (or something like that), and once the form opens the MsgBox should close automatically. (The user should not have to hit Ok button.)

Most users of this database would have restricted access such that they would not have navigation pane and toolbar visible - hence I want to make it a touch more interactive when a process is running...also if someone is new to access they might not notice that taskbar status and I don't want them thinking the program is stuck etc..

Using Wildcard In Switch Function

Jan 26, 2007

I am trying to use a Switch expression as a column heading in a crosstab query to generate statistics for how much work is done per client (Requester). Each requester is referred to by acronym, so it may look like "DOD/OUSD/FTT/ATA/B", but I want that column to include everything that starts with DOD, instead of listing each instance separately. This is my expression so far:

Expr1: Switch([Requester]="DOD*","DOD",[Requester]="DS/ATA","ATAP")

When I run the query, the column "ATAP" shows up perfectly with all the correct info, but it's as if I never entered "DOD*". Nothing appears, and since I didn't add anything in the Switch function for what to do with other requesters, the second column shows up as <>.

Do wildcard *'s not work in Switch functions? I don't get any errors, but this is definitely not the information I'm looking for.

Is there any other way to include all Requesters that start with DOD in one column?

This is my SQl if that's helpful:
TRANSFORM Sum([Q and D Database].[Word Count]) AS [SumOfWord Count]
SELECT [Q and D Database].[Source/Target]
FROM [Q and D Database]
WHERE ((([Q and D Database].[Out Date]) Between #1/1/2006# And #12/31/2006#))
GROUP BY [Q and D Database].[Source/Target]
ORDER BY [Q and D Database].[Source/Target], Switch([Requester]="DOD*","DOD",[Requester]="DS/ATA","ATAP")
PIVOT Switch([Requester]="DOD*","DOD",[Requester]="DS/ATA","ATAP");

Thanks!!!

Switch Function Problem

Jul 23, 2007

Hi guysI have a problem with filtering a query in criteria using either iff or switch builtin function. my codes look like thisLike Switch([Forms]![frmMain]![grpReq]=1,"SysReq*",[Forms]![frmMain]![grpReq]=2,"ACR*",[Forms]![frmMain]![grpReq]=3,"ACSR*",[Forms]![frmMain]![grpReq]=4, not like "SysReq*" or "ACS*")the function works fine except for value 4 highlighted in bold. The query just didnt return the result i want. I suspect its the switch function not liking to evaluate the "Not like" part. I dont know how to go around this as i can only base on the prefix, namely SysReq, ACR, ACSRThank you for your ideas...
