General :: Unable To Import To Excel From Front End And Back End Using Database Connections

Aug 5, 2012

I have split my database in Front End och Back End, and both are password protected. The Front End has been converted to ACCDE.

When I try to import to Excel from Front End and/or Back End using database connections I receive a message telling me that I am using an invalid password (even though I use the same password when I encrypt/decrypt FE and BE). I've tried using Access import, ODBC and Microsoft Query. (In some cases I 'm also prompted to set a username, which I do not know which it should be since I haven't set one in my database (except the automatic "admin"))

How do I go about to make this work?

General :: Using Dropbox To Host Front End / Back End Database

Sep 28, 2012

Using Dropbox to host a split database. Ulimately I would like to create a run version for users with the back end held in a drop box directory.

As an unsplit database everything is working fine on dropbox records are saved in a timely manner and great.

Once I split to FE /BE only some records are saved on the BE and some are dropped. Was getting conflicted copies of Back end but manged to stop this happening but the records were noit on either copy.

Gave each user their own FE (on a drop box directory) linking to a BE in a sub directory on the same dropbox.

The key issue is that not all users have access and I don't want them to get into code so want to aim towards a run version.

General :: User Updates On Front End Database Not Updating Back End

Nov 12, 2012

I have a Database that has been split into two.

Back-end for all the data.

Front end for all the forms and queries.

The front end has been saved in a accde format and distributed to 20+ users. They have all saved this onto there computers and this is used as an application.The users complete a form on a weekly basis on the application and then save. This then saves into the back end.For some reason I have noticed that a few users submission randomly do not save. For the life of me I cannot understand why.All users have saved them into the back end in the past but every now and then submission for users do not save.

Unable To Import Excel Spreadsheet To Table

Dec 4, 2007

Hey

I have a procedure that imports excel spreadseet to access table ever today.
today it failed. Forrmat was the same as yesterday.

I did 'copy/paste special/format' from yesterday's file; still today's file wouldn't import.

Tried to copy manually to the table, got the error message about 'field not being in the same format'

Went to table's design view, and changed everything to 'memo', the was able to do copy/paste.
There wer no values with more then 20 characters
I was able to change 'memo' back to text and date/time without loosing any date.

Has anyone ecountered this ? Going changing table, and then chaging it back doesn't sound like the best practice
what can be done ?
can abything be done to excel file ?

Unable To Import Series Of Records From Excel Into Table

Oct 16, 2012

I am trying to import a series of records from Excel into a table in Access 2010. The field names in the Excel table match the field names in the Access table. The field formats are the same as well (both set to numbers).

I am receiving an "unparsable record" error for all fields in the Excel file that are being entered into fields in Access that are 'lookup' fields that allow multiple entries.

The Exel fields have been filed in with the 'numbers' that correspond to the correct 'lookup' selections. There is only one item in the excel field -> while access will allow multiple entries for the field, I for the records I'm importing I only need one.

For the fields that are 'lookup' but allow only one value the excel data is being imported and displayed correctly in Access.

Do I need to format the fields that are matching to multiple entry fields differently or in a special way?

General :: Added Table To Back End Not Linking Up To Front End

Jun 22, 2012

I 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?

General :: Update Front End With New Back End File Location

Dec 12, 2013

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.

General :: Linking Front End With Multiple Back Ends

Sep 30, 2014

My question encompasses a front end connected to multiple back ends. It is probably a mundane point, but reading a few articles didn't seem to touch on it.

By this, let me toss out that I am thinking of the personnel where I work when I say 95% have a hard time using email and MS Word, let alone mundane functions like find a file, etc. As such, I have to make my front-ends extremely user friendly.

With that in mind, when developers have multiple back ends, what are thoughts about the best way to relink when required? Even when there are 'more sophisticated' users? Security not an issue or is an issue (inasmuch as can be handled in access)?

Ex: Large corporation with a multitude of user ability. Large database with say 3 different back ends.

I was thinking about keeping a front-end table with each table name and UNC path, hard coding paths to corresponding table names, etc.

Personally I don't have a need for multiple back-ends, but the question came up while reading.

Unable To Import A From From Another Database

May 31, 2006

I have two databases. One is 'live', one is for development. Once i get something working in the latter, I import it into the former. This has been working fine for just over two months.

Today, however, i'm trying to import a form and get one of the following messages:

"The search key was not found in any Record"

"No current record"

I'm unable to import the form.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Unable To Import A Form From Another Database

May 31, 2006

I've posted this in the 'General' forum, but without success, so I'm trying here.

I have two databases. One is 'live', one is for development. Once I get something working in the latter, I manually import it into the former (File - Get External data - Import). This has been working fine for just over two months.

Today, however, i'm trying to import a form and get one of the following messages:

"The search key was not found in any Record"

"No current record"

I'm unable to import the form. I also get the same error messages if i try to copy and paste the form within its own database.

The form in question has a lot of lengthy code behind various combo boxes, text boxes, etc. When I attempt to look at this code (via right-clicking on a field and going to Properties and the Event tab), none of it is present any more.

What's going on? This form took weeks to get working and now it can't be copied, renamed or imported, plus it appears to have been 'wiped' of everything but the visual features.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Can one form become 'corrupt'? If so, please say that there's some way to remedy it?

I am trying to create a database by compiling records from multiple excel sheets. however, since most of the clients still uses the excel sheets to enter records, I am thinking if it's possible to create a linked table in access from these excel sheets that are hosted on an online server.

also is it possible to merge multiple linked tables together? if they have the same field range, so they will append when the linked tables gets updated.

General :: Multiple Users On Front End Database

Oct 22, 2012

I've prepared a front end database with forms that allow data to be keyed into linked tables to my main databse.

However, currently the front end database only allows 1 user to do it at 1 time and when another user tries to open the file, an error "The Database Has Been Placed in a State by User on Machine That Prevents It From Being Opened or Locked'

Is there anyway to allow multiple users to use the front end database at the same time?

General :: Front End Copies Itself To Desktop After Closing Database

Apr 3, 2015

I have a split db that has been in use for a few years by about 12 people. The front end is compiled into an accde file.

Ocasionally a user (randomly) might get an error message "Microsoft has detected that this database is in an inconsistent state...." when closing the db and when that happens, a copy of the front end is automatically placed on their desktop.

This front end is always deleted and the original front end continues to work just fine afterwards.

Why are my users getting this error message? Why is the front end automatically copied onto their desktops?

Import Partial Excel File Into Database

Apr 12, 2012

I have created a database with approximately 30 columns, 1st column being a primary key. At the end of the database there are 5 columns. We will call them VWXYZ.

One of my users wants to be able to update VWXYZ via importing an Excel document to the existing table. He does NOT want fields 1-25 updated. He is editing his Excel document to only include the primary key and then VWXYZ with the same exact column names. When he imports, it sets 2-25 to blank and updates VWXYZ to the updated information.

How can he import an Excel document that only updates VWXYZ?

Back End And Front End

Oct 19, 2007

Hi friends,

I think I am having some problem with my back end and frond end files. I have a mde file that anytime I enter new data or change some things in the old clients file, it does not update on the mdb file. Anytime I need to change forms or report or any thing at all, I am suppose to copy the BE file and the MDB file to my workstatio, remove the table link, make the changes I want to make on the design mode and then import the files back to the live copy of the mdb file then make another mde file to work with. But When I copy the BE and the MDB files, I don't have the updated client list or new client just added. So as not to affect other users, I can not make changes in the MDE file and even the MDE file will not even let me make any changes in design mode. I don't know If I am making sense but any help will be appreciated

thanks
