Hi All,
I would like to make a setup package, which is setup.exe to install my MS Access and help file. However, I don't know how to create the setup.exe.
Anyone can kindly suggest or guide me?!!
Thanks a lots!!!

I have developed access application (front/backend) for my client. As client wanted they would be running on 3 comps on LAN. 1 comp would have the DB and the other 2 the frontends. How will I create installation (CD/package) so that it can be distributed in the clients site. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I have a website that is asp (not .net) based with an Access DB and I am in the process of replacing an old windows 2000 server with a much faster windows 2003 server. Here lies the problem I have a script as part of the admin that exports data to a csv file. The query joins 4 tables together to get the data needed for the export. On the windows 2000 server it takes 1-5 seconds to execute and have the csv file ready for download. On the window 2003 server it times out. I striped it down to use 2 joins and it worked although it took more like 10-20 seconds to export. This exports a specific range of ID's and the range is normally only 40-50 rows. If I put time stamps in the code the problem is in the query of the database, so I know its not in the file write etc.
I am going to rewrite it to use multible querys instead of one large query, but I have many other sites that I am moving to this server that would work better if I can figure out why it is so slow.
The windows 2000 is a 900 mhz server the windows 2003 is a 2.8GHZ server both have 1 GIG of ram. The database file is on the local drive on both servers. I am guessing it is a difference in the Jet version, I just haven't been able to find a solution to the problem. This uses a DSN connection, configured the same on both servers. I have also tried it as a DSN-less connection with the same result.
I have installed access on the server and to execute the command in access it is <2 sec.
I am not an access expert I normally program in .net and php and use MySQL and MsSQL for databases, we just have these legacy sites that use Access DB's
Hi All,
This is my problem -
My customer has Access programs that work on their Windows 98 OS PC's, but when they try to use them on Windows 2000 OS PC's they will not work.
The programs I believe were originally written in Access 97 and now they have Access 2000 on the PC's.
By not working I mean the following -
The Access program allows them to enter a document name and then the file opens in Word - BUT - when they use it in Windows 2000 it does not open the document at all. It says file not found in Windows 2000 and the file does exist.
** The reason they have Access opening files is that Access keeps track of them for auditing purposes.
Now here is something that I want to mention. On PC's that were upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 the programs work.
Can anyone here tell me what is missing from 98 to 2000 that would do this.
Thank you very much for your time.
I have MS Access 2002 version, I create one mdb file and then put it on the sharing drive, I install Access RunTime on my client machines, they can run the mdb file on the sharing drive.
Another way,
I used Office XP Developer Edtion to create package and then install the package on my client machines, they can run the mdb file.
Here is a question,
Why do we need Office XP Developer Edition to create the package? Because we just install Access Runtime on the client machines, then they can run the mdb files.
What is advantage of creating the package?
Ok, I have Acc2k3 professional with Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System which according to MS includes the Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/office/officetools.aspx) that are required to package an MDE/ADE file using Acc2k3.
The question is how do I run it? I cannot find anything to do with packaging or deploying an Access file anywhere, not only in Access but ot the system and on the Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System cd.
I should point out that my PC has VB.NET 2003, Office 2003 (prof) and Office 2000 (prof - Access only) installed on XP SP2 (I believe that all relevant SPs and critical updates have been applied). I have tried upgrading my project from Acc2k to Acc2k3 and all to no avail.
TIA
Marcus.
Hi
I hope someone can help on here with this.
I am having problems using the package wizard. I can run through the first couple of steps on the package wizard, but when it asks for a language to cache, it fails to install the necessary files.
I have found the resolution on the MS KB site about copying the files to the HDD, and the renaming the exe file to SETUP.EXE, but whenever I select this file to cache, I get the following message:-
'C:SourceSETUP.EXE' could not be copied to 'C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataMicrosoftAccessADE11Cache1033SETUP.EXE'.
Verify that the source file exists, that you have write permissions on the destination folder. etc
I don't think it is permissions, as it does copy the msi and cab file to that particular folder, it's just the SETUP.EXE file that it doesn't copy over.
Has anyone ever experienced this before when using the Package Wizard?
Thanks

Hi, can someone please tell me how would it be possible to package my database!!!? I need to do it for my coursework. I thought may be the package and deployment wizard would be a good idea, but it isnt listed in my add-ins manager. Btw I am using VBA (Access and VB together).
Thanx in advance
Does anyone know if there is some type of theme to make windows xp windows 3d like vista's windows. example below.

I have Access 2003 and the Developer Extensions which allow me to package solutions and distribute them with the toll-free run-time set.
When I run my applications on the development PC with the "/runtime" switch the applications work fine but when they are installed on a PC without Access 2003 they install but refuse to default values into forms when new records are created. Since any "child" records need to contain the key of the relevant "parent" record for the database to have any relational structure at all this makes the applications useless. I've searched Microsoft sites until I'm blue in the face and I've asked my support company but I'm not getting any answers. Anybody got any ideas?
Hi,
I have just started to use the Access 2003 Package Wizard and I am having big problems, my problem is that any Access App deployed at work is installed under C:MIS, but in there wizdom!!! MS have decided not to allow you to have anything but what they think you should have as the default install location.
I have even gone into the source code and found where the default locations are, but the problem is that you have to add the entry to both a table and an XML file, the table is easy, but trying to find where and what I need to add to the xml, so far has turned out to be impossible.
Can anyone help, or is the best solution going to be to use a third party installer.
Thanks,
Gavin,
I have hyperlinks from within Access forms that link to Adobe PDF documents; these are the new PDF Package documents created with Acrobat 8 - and give the message "Multiple files are bound together in this PDF Package."
The problem I am having is that when ever I click on the hyperlink the computer hangs (from the task manager, I believe that it is Acrobat Reader that is hanging). This problem only occurs with multi-file PDF packages and does not occur with regular PDF's. It also only occur with MS Access, as linking to theses files from MS Word encounters no problems.
Is anyone aware of a fix for this?
the language cache for the package wizard is currently stored at "C:Documents and Settings<user>Application DataMicrosoftAccessADE11Cache1033".
this is, therefore, in my roaming profile, which is a very bad thing since it's 35MB.
is there any way to put it somewhere else?
many thanks,

I have just about finished up a Split DB that I plan on deploying in a LAN environment. The goal of course is to turn what looks like an Access Application now into a non-access looking application where the Front End can be distributed and run on any computer within the LAN.
I have several questions that I may need some help on.
How does one go about hiding the Access Shell and/or Ribbon/Nav in 2007?
How would I add a form that allows for a user to navigate to and connect to the back-end without having them check all of the appropiate tables and then browse to the back-end file if they have a different drive letter mapped to the location of the back-end files for example?
Any tips on how to sign the DB so the pesky Trust Center question can be bypassed?
Any other tips on how to simply distribute this for a LAN environment and/or make it look NOT like an Access DB with access to view the Forms, Tables, Queries, etc. This is my first Access DB project, let alone a LAN distributable one.
Thanks!
I'm making an accounts package.
I've got a query that shows all individual invoices with their total amounts. This works.
But now I'm trying to make graphs so I want show just total amounts combined by customer, for each customer.
So for example if I had 8 customers and they each had 10 invoices each my current query would be returning 80 records.
What I want is 8 records, once for each customer with the summed total for each customer so that I can then graph this.
I have an accdb built using Access 2013 that will run with in 2010 Runtime. I am about ready to distribute the application, and am starting to do some research.
When I attempt to package and sign the db using the feature in Access 2013 it asks for me to "Confirm Certificate".
Before I go buy one I want to 1) try to create on myself and 2) learn about some good places to buy them.
1) I created a "Self-Signed" certificate using IIS, but the certificate doesn't show up on the list of certs when I attempt to package and sign the accdb. Is there a way to use a "Self-Signed" certificate to package my accdb?
2) If purchasing a SSL is the only option. Where is the best place to buy a SSL that I can use to package and sign accdbs from Access 2013?
I've created an accounts package for my business using access 2003 and I'm just thinking of some time saving features.
We need to email our invoices to our clients.
Normally we print out an invoice, scan it back into the computer, save as a PDF and attach to an email manually one by one.
My package can now print to PDF (saving one step), but what I would like is to be able to print to PDF and attach to a new email (with the email address coming from the customer table) and possibly attach more than one PDF to a single email.
I know you can use
Code:
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, stDocName
to send a report but I would like it as a PDF as my formatiing is lost using that code and we normally send PDFs to our clients.
Trying to set up a database in access to be used for customers to track payment history problems. how does this sound???? ...
Table 1 would have fields: account # ; account name; region
Table 2 (would need a separate table? ) With fields: account #; date entered; entered by; Comments:
I Need to be able to enter multiple entries for payment history comments as this will be info entered by date to track
So data would look like:
Account #: 111-11111 Account name: test company Region: new york
Entry date: 3/5/05 Entered by: Joe Shmoe Comments: Company short paid, sent letter 3/5/05 requesting additional $$
Entry date 3/10/05 Entered by: Sue Smith Comments: Sales office says there is a problem with the bill, extend grace period.
I can’t put this in one table right?
I will have many entry dates & comments for an account that I would like to print out in a report.
Wouldn’t I need 2 tables with a relationship linked by account #?
Thanks... I will be around the rest of the day to respond to any commments..
please help me with setting this up..
I have a form for inserting invoices, and on the subform records I have a command button to print the labels, the label would contain the quantity of the product, so, if the quantity is ex. 11000 and package contains 2000 only.
so I have to print 5 labels with quantity 2000 and one label with 1000 qty
what I need to do, is when I click the label cmd button to insert the 6 records required to print the labels to temp table
I'm creating a data access page that can be used over the internet to add information into the database. The database is password protected. The functionality currently is that when a user accesses the data access page, they need the database password in order to submit information. We don't have a small number of users and giving all these people the password to the database would comprimise the security of the system.
I am looking for a functionality such that the people that edit the database, either by the front end application or by opening the database directly to be password protected. But the data access page not to be.
Any ideas on how I can achieve this functionality?
I have a database for an event with 2 main tables.
Parents and Children of the parents with a one to many relationship.
I need to be able add the table number that each parent and child will be at (not the same table as parent). I could add another field for the table to each database but not all the entries are attending the event.
Could someone point me in the right direction as to the best way to design this.

I have a database that contains information on football games. There are many
different games from many different seasons, teams, opponents.
I will eventually have a fairly large number of different reports and forms
that will want to be viewed but filtered by the above three catagories.
Usually all of the reports at any given period of time while running the
reports will want to be viewed off the same criteria as the one before. (i
don't think you would want to have to fill out the parameter manually for
each report or you will be entering redundent data as the parameter report
after report.)
I was thinking of having a form with 3 multi select list boxes, [seasonlst]
, [teamlst] , [opponentlst] and having each form filter information based of
the values entered in each box.
Is this the best way to do it or is there a better way?
I have ta table that has the following fields:
factorID (Primary key, AutoNumber)
supplierID (Foreign key to suppliers table)
categoryID (Foreign key to Categories)
Factor
I'd like to ensure that there is only one Supplier/Category pair in the table, but I can't figure out how to set it up to achieve this. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
I've thought I had a decent understanding of database normalization but I've come across a fairly simple problem that I'm having difficulty resolving.
I have a database which I use to track submittals from companies.
Originally it was set up as follows:
tblCompany
Company_ID (PK)
Company (No duplicates allowed)
tblSubmittals
Submittals_ID (PK)
Description
Date
Company_ID (FK)
Now I've decided that I want to add a contacts table with fields such as first name, last name, company, etc. My dilemma is that in the Submittals table I need to keep track of which company the submittal is from but I don't care WHO it is from.
So I created another table as follows:
tblContacts
Contact_ID (PK)
Company_ID (FK)
First_Name
Last_Name
This will work except that when I add a new contact I will have to add code to see if the company exists in the tblCompany before I add it.
It doesn't seem like this would be the correct way to set this up because I'm adding the same data to 2 different tables.
I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question. Thanks for your input.
HiNew to the forum and pretty new to MS Access.Here's what I intend to do.I want a table for Special Tasks. This will include TaskID, Date, Time, Reason, Description and Dependencies.I want a table of staffFor each task each member of staff will have a tick box for "Needs to Read" and "Has Read".In a form I want to be able to enter new tasks using the task table, I also want to use a subform that allows me access to the list of staff and if they have read the task or not.There is probably an easy way round this but at the moment it's just not clicking into place.Can someone point me in the right direction for table setup and relationships ??
