I have a multiuser database back end with approximately 25 tables. The file size for the back end has recently jumped from approx. 50mb to 270mb, but I do not know where the data causing this increase is placed. Is it possible to measure the file space usage (in mb) that each table contributes so that I can determine the source of the increase.
View RepliesHi ppl,
I'm trying to make a database table for a sneaker inventory display/controller, it will be displayed on website using Dreamweaver to pull out the records. I can't figure out how to have a "size" entry in the table, let me explain:
Here is my current table structure:
[CatID] [ProdID] [ProdName] [ProdType] [ProdDesc] [Quantity] [Price]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[11] [TR-01] [Nike SB] [Plain] [Running] [5] [$45]
[11] [TR-02] [Nike SP] [Color] [Running] [2] [$25]
Here is the problem, I need a "Size" field in there, but a sneaker will have multiple sizes (i.e. 6-11) and each size will have different quantities. Is it possible to incorporate a "size" field in my current table? or should I re-do my table in another way? How?
Thanx in advance.
I have a file that I want to import on a daily basis and append to an existing table in my database. The date changes each day. I want to create a query that checks to see if the date (of the first record) already exists before I import and append the new file. If it does, I want to show a message saying something to the effect of "This file has already been imported".

Hello,
I have database that is linked to an asp style website. In my Products table, I have a field for Product_Description. Unfortunately the descriptions for the products that I have are very lengthy, some 10 sentences and above. And as access only allows for field sizes of 255 characters max, I can barely fit 1-2 sentences here.
I was wondering whether there is a way of getting a much bigger field size at all?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How can I control the size of my form. I would like some of my form with my program to open small, since they are small forms, and some large because they are the whole size of the forms. I hope I have explained this enough for someone to help.Thanks in advance.
View 14 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am a new member, who has been reading these postings for several weeks, hoping for a few quick answers, but no luck.
I have several issues on form size.
The first is that some of my forms open OK, but they change the form size of the form that opened them. My main form is maximized. When I open a child form, not maximized, the main form, and the open Access windows, such as the DataBase form and any open Tables, Queries, Reports, etc all become non-maximized.
The main form has the dimensions of the last-opened form .mde files, which leads me to believe that there is some Access option that crosses project or database lines. I cannot find it.
If I maximize the main form with the child form open, Access maximizes the child form also. If any form is open in Design View, the Properties window may be on top of everything. As the controls I need are seldom visible in these small windows, I spend much effort resizing windows.
What do I need to do to have a maximized "Switchboard" and smaller child windows/Forms???
How can i make all my forums fill my screen? so dont have to recreate them? so they are not just tiny boxes. as originaly designed? I looked in hope that there maybe have been something in the startup drop drop down, but i was't so luck. also tried to select whole forum and group and name the whole thing bigger by dragging the resize command. but this just messed the whole forums up so i did't save changes.
Thanks im sure this is a really stupid question.

Well, today I had a problem with my main access db. It stopped letting me create MDE files, and my usual trick of decompiling it didn't work. I eventually got it working by importing everything into a blank database and setting the startup form and references again. However when I did this, I noticed a very big difference in file sizes. My old MDB file was 14mb, while the new one was about 5mb.
Just wondering if anybody else has come across anything like this before? Everything seems to be working fine and transferred over corrrectly, but such a huge difference worries me slightly.
Hi,
i am developing a clothing order management database.
I have so far got [order details], [products], [product details] entities.
This is so that products with the same model code can have a selection of colours and sizes which are held in the product details table.
I followed this website which was very helpful: http://www.princeton.edu/~rcurtis/ul...database2.html
The question is now: each size and colour will have a different stock quantity. How do i model this, for example, so when a Small Red t-shirt is added, the small red t-shirts quantity decreases rather than the overall quantity for the model.
any ideas?
After much work and help from a lot of competent ppl on this forum i have finally been able to get my dB together. Now i have a problem though which i can't solve.
Problem is this:
I open a form, lets call it MENU. From this you open a second form called NewEmployee.
In this new form you insert new data about the employee(s) and then insert them in the dB.
So far so good, but when you do a print about the employee, the procedure is this:
A special form is opened (PrintOutForm), its fields are filled with data from the NewEmployee, it is printed and then closed.
Problem with this is that the MENU form is now not-maximized :) Which it was when you opened the dB.
Is this something any of you guys have encountered before?
I browsed a lot of posts related to fonts, and pored over my "Mastering Access 2000" and "Access 2000 Power Programming" books, but I couldn't find answers to my specific questions.
I have many years of experience with Access, but I've only recently become interested in making my forms look nice on a variety of user PC configurations. Now, like many others, I sometimes spend too much time formatting a form so it looks really nice on my PC, only to find formatting problems on the user's PC. For example, a label using Arial Rounded MT Bold looks great on my PC but is cut off on the user's PC. Similarly, Tahoma on buttons looks nice on my PC but looks bigger and bolder on the user's PC.
At first I thought this was probably a font problem. But then I realized that even with the same screen resolution, the forms themselves (not just the fonts) appeared bigger on the user's PC. Some forms didn't even fit inside a maximized Access window, whereas they certainly did on my PC - again, this is with the same screen resolution. So now I don't know if it's a font problem, some other problem, or perhaps multiple problems.
Which leads to my questions:
(1) If I set the size of a form on my PC, and the screen resolution is the same on my PC and the user's PC, then why does my form show up relatively bigger on some users' PCs? How can one control the look of a form if the form properties are not applied identically on different PCs?
(2) Why do all the fonts look bigger and fatter / bolder on some users' PCs?
(3) Is there a user-configurable Windows setting that overrides the font size settings I assign to controls?
(4) How can I determine in code if specific fonts are supported (if this is a necessary step)?
(5) What is the industry best practice for managing font selection, allowing for the possibility that the desired fonts may not be supported?
Thanks for your help...
I have written a database application in Access 2003 for my company. I am going to deploy it with Terminal services on a Windows 2000 Server. I went to my server room to logon and test and found that 90% of the screens I designed had print and close command buttons that were off the screen. I developed the application on a 19" plat panel display with 1280 X 1024 res. The server room has a 17" Non-flat panel with 1024 X 768 res. I am assuming this is the culprit. Is there a way to make the application a "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" solution. Im sure writing a different version for every possible resolution is not how it is done. Any ideas would be deeply appreciated
Thanks
I have an Access Database of around 8MB. However, after a day's use, this file size increases to around 110MB. If I run a Compact and Repair, the file returns to it's usual size. The first time I noticed this, the file had reached a size of 2GB which is a bit alarming. The file does get used but only appending around 50 records a day and making some amendments. What could be causing this increase?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a means of making an application grow/shrink to accommodate different screen sizes? eg. not all users of a distributed application will necessarily have the same screen size.

Hi,
I have a form with 8 pages (tabs) on it. Each page has a Quit button which populates both a Form name variable and a Question name variable. When a user clicks the quit button the code forces the page name associated with the quit button. I would like to try and catch the same information if someone clicks the DB Close button(s) at the top of the screen. How can I programatically determine what page was/is open when the close db button was clicked? I guess I could create a switch that is populated when a page has focus and then call the last switch value. But I think that seems like extra programming, if I can just call the current page name/index. Is there something like the form name?
E.G.:
MyForm = Me.Form.Name
maybe an active page index or something? The problem is I won't know what page is opened at the time a close button is clicked unless I use a switch of some sort.
Thanks.
On a form I have multiple labels. In the Click event of all these labels I would like to call a generic function for futher processing. For this processing however, I need the caption of the label the user clicked on. How do I determine this caption?
