Modules & VBA :: Save As Dialog Box - Allow User To Save Copy Of Current Database At Desired Location

Feb 12, 2014

So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.

I am using Access 2010.

Quick-save Database To Read-only

May 12, 2005

Does anybody know if there is a quick way of making a database read-only (so no data input OR design priviledges).

Ive had a request to send somebody a database so they can look at the data but not add/amend etc. The only thing I can think of is adding a security workgroup and assigning read only permissions. But this seems a bit long-winded and I wondered if I was missing something obvious like a 'save as - read only' option.

Any ideas.

Thanks,
Adam.

Unable To Save Database Properties

Jan 4, 2008

Hi,
I have two possibly related things that have recently begun happening in nearly all of my databases. (Access 2002, Windows XP)

1. For years I have been using shortcut command lines like the following to open my databases:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp d:databasesPCAMain97sys.mdw m:pcamainpublicaccess2002frontendsvikchamaster setupwheel.mdb /excl

All of my databases use the same mdw file. Up until recently this command line has always prompted me for my login and password. Now, it doesn't. Not only that, but once I'm in the database, if I go to tools-security-workgroup adminstrator, the indication is that I am NOT joined to the PCAMain97sys.mdw workgroup that I requested.INstead I remain joined to whichever workgroup I was in before; it's like hte /wkrgrp command line option now has no effect.

2. From file-database properties, I try to change the title of the database. But I get error "..unable to save the database properties". Web search shows this is probably db corruption, but... on every one of my databases???

OK, upon reading what I just wrote, it seems likely that my mdw file is corrupted....? Any other ideas?

General :: Updated Database Won't Save

Feb 26, 2013

I am working on a database. I changed some of the data that was already in the database and it saved without any problems - when I reopened the database, the data was still there. But when I try to input completely new data, none of it will save (it is a database of employees and their information). So, just to make it more understandable, when I change one piece of information, it saves without any problems, but when I want to add a new employee together with their information, save it and reopen the database, it is not there.

Cannot Save Database Objects When Changes Made

May 25, 2011

This has happened to me several times in the past. I make minor changes to a report and when I go to save it or close it out, it asks, "Do you want to save changes?" Of course I say yes and it just sits there, not closing out the report tab. The only way around it that I have found is to re-write the report, from scratch.

Rename/Save As Function For Entire Database

Aug 24, 2006

Hi,

I am running an autocompact module in Access97 which will created a 'compacted version' of my database. I then want to rename this compacted version to the name of the original database I compacted. I cannot however find a way of doing this in code.

Basically the idea is to compact every 45 minutes or so, but what my autocompact is doing is creating a compacted version under a different name, and so compacting a copy of the database, I then want to change this compacted database name to the original name and re compact every 45 mins


Can anyone help?

Forms :: How To Save Records To A Table Of Web Database

Mar 5, 2014

I'm using Access 2010 and now trying to save a selected record to another table which I have no clue where to find the "Code Builder" to put my code on after spending hours and hours, I managed to create a form, but couldn't figure out where to save this data.

All I need is to put this line
"INSERT INTO ResultTable (StudentID, CourseID, PaidID, Comments) VALUES (" & cboStudentSelect & ", " & cboCourseSelect & ", " & cboPaymentSelect & ", " & txtComments & ") WHERE StudentID = cboStudentSelect

Perhaps, the new Access 2010 doesn't use this or something new that I couldn't it.

Attached is the file.

Database Closes On Save Of Query: How Do I Stop This Happening

Nov 3, 2005

I've got a database, which has been working fine for the last 6 months, it's nt spectacularly large, or complex (abotu 10mb, 15 tables, (5 of which are lookups), about 20 forms, 40 reports, and 30 or so queries).

I've tried to add a new query today, again nothing special:

all comes from one table:
column 1 - group by
column 2 - max
column 3 - if = "No"
column 4 is an expression: iif (a=1,col_a,iif(a=2,col_b,iif(a=3,col_c, .... ))) and so on for 8 col_*'s

The query creates happily enough, and is viewable.
When I try to save it, access shuts down completely with no warnings.

creating the query apart from the last column, saving it then works, but on adding the final column the database shuts down every time.

any ideas? I'm at a loss on this.

Cheers
Kev

Macro - Print To Adobe PDF File And Save As Database Name

Dec 16, 2004

Using Access 2000, I have a macro to generate a report by updating various make-table queiries. I would like for the macro to print the report to an Adobe PDF file and save the file as the database name.

When I manually print the report, it gives me the opition of selecting printers and Adobe PDF is listed as a printer. After selecting the "printer", a "Save As PDF" menu pops up and currently it lists the Access Report Name. I would like to use the database name as the name of the PDF file.

In short, when I execute the "Generate Report" macro, I want the end product to be a PDF file using the database name as the PDF file name.

Modules & VBA :: Data Not Saving To Database When Using Save Module

Oct 27, 2014

I have a back end database that a number of people are working with using an Excel add-in that imports and edits records saved in the backend. Occasionally, when a user will update a record at first it saves to the backend but then an hour or two later, the changes made disappear. We have validated that after the user saves the changes, those changes are present in the backend of the database, but for some reason those changes disappear after a period of time.

Database Size Limited To 2GB / Query Multiple Database Without Linking Tables?

Sep 7, 2011

I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:

1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.

2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.

I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.

General :: Updating From Local Database To Central Database

Sep 12, 2012

Database: Access 2007

I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.

Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.

What is the best way to do this?

General :: Database For Metal Market Prices To Be Used In Another Database

Jun 24, 2015

I have been working on a database for over a month now, and my boss just threw a monkey wrench in my work. I believed that the Metal Market Prices would be entered once a week in the current DB. My boss informs me today that he wants an employee to go in every morning and enter that days Price for Each Metal with respect to many different markets.

There is a total of 12 metals, and 5 markets. I need the data to be stored first by date, then by either market or metal, and lastly by which ever isn't used second (Either: date-market-metal, or date-metal-market). I think the Latter of the two methods makes the most sense. Is it possible for my current DB to lookup values from the Metals Database based on date-metal-market?

Jet Database Engine Error On Non-shared Database

Jul 7, 2005

I have a problem that seems to be happening on several users' databases and is causing a big problem. None of the databases is a shared database...they are all single-user databases on stand-alone computers. I have tried looking for help within previous posts, but all seem to be related to shared databases.

I am getting an error message: "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." The database cannot be opened, imported, repaired...nothing seems to work.

Again...these are NOT shared databases. I appreciate any help I can get. I created the database for all of the secretaries in our school district to keep up with absence data. It involves many tables, queries, forms and reports, and has generally worked well. However I am now seeing several that are getting similar errors as mentioned.

Thanks!

Best Way To Import SQL Database To Local Access Database?

Dec 25, 2005

I'm new to Access and VBA, for the record. What I need to do is copy a SQL database (table structures and records) and save it as a local Access database, so that the user can query and make any changes on the local file without editting the SQL database.

Looking around, it seems like the best option would be to use the TransferDatabase method with the acImport option. Does this sound reasonable, or can someone with more experience suggest a better way to go about it? Thanks.

Create EXE From Database And Have Several Project Using Same Database

Oct 24, 2013

I created a database with forms, querys, etc. Now I was thinking of creating a exe so everyone can use this database without having access to all the design functions.

the only problem I see about doing this is if we need to use the same database for different project, we need to always create a new exe for each project.

Is there a way to make a empty database exe with just the layout, querys etc but with no data on the tables and have a save, open and save as option. So we can have several projects using the same database?

I was thinking to create a VB code for the database to delete all data on the tables when the database is open.
and before closing the database exporting all the data to a txt file or something.

Then the next time someone opens the database goes to the main form which has a open bottom which imports the txt file into the tables.

This way we can have several txt file for several project and use always the same exe database.
