I've been having some problems with sharing an MS Access 2000 database across a network.
The database is setup to open in shared mode and has been tried both with and without record locking, with the same issue occurring.
The main users are:
User 1 (Administrator) - MS Access 2000 Full Version (WinXP Professional)
User 2 - Access 2000 Runtime + Access 97 (Win XP Professional)
User 3 - Access 2000 Runtime + Access 97 (Win XP Professional)
The problem is occurring when User 3 opens the database. For some reason it opens in exclusive mode and locks out Users 1 & 2. This issue only happens with User 3, and does not happen with User 2 who has the same software setup.
The database was previously an Access 97 database (no problems) and has been converted to Access 2000, this share issue has been happening ever since the conversion.
Any ideas as to how this shared issue could be resolved? :confused:
BTW - I am familiar with FE/BE setups. This database is accessed by all from a network drive and not setup as FE/BE. This was never an issue, as shared access worked fine when the database was in Access 97 - the problem has only been since converting to Access 2000. I do not have access to the PC of User 2, and User 2 does not have any PC knowledge to install a FE, which means I would need to create an install package (which I'd rather not do). Are there any ways to resolve the shared access issue without changing to FE/BE?
Currently I have an Access dB that was developed in A2003 but we are currently using A2010, it is accessed by multiple users that all have a frontend locally on there own networked PC's, with the backends etc on an old NT server, we are having problems with new technology accessing the NT server so it's well past time we got shut of it
We have a share on our network that has been made available to us to migrate all our NT server files to, Here's my problem, on testing the procedure I copied the database backend and .mdw file over to the share then tried to open the dB where upon i got the following error message
Cannot open microsoft Access database information file
On further investigation it seems that both the back end and the .mdw file have copied over with no content i.e filesize is 0kB, not only that the originals also seem to have had there content "deleted" a simple copy shouldn't have done this (I did have a backup btw)
I want to consider ways of sharing an Access database within our company. This could be web-based via our intranet or done some other way.
I understand that Microsoft's preferred way of sharing via an Intranet is to use SharePoint. However, as we don't use SharePoint (we use Atlassian Confluence) the cost of that route would be prohibitive.
Any methods of sharing an Access database across, say, 20 people? Simultaneous read/write access would be required but in reality the usage will be low, so performance is not really an issue. I would like to consider web-based or other methods.
I have chosen Access 2013 simply because we use Office Professional 2013 and Access will be familiar to some developers. We could use a different product. But I would certainly prefer a tool that supports RAD design of forms.
I have an Acess database (2013). This will be used by several people within one company, they don't have their own server. I would use SharePoint Online, but it seems to me, that you only can "export" the tables. The database I have is quite a complicated system, and it is neccessary to use all the Access tools - forms, reports, queries. Not tables only.
Another idea is to split the database and "store" the backend part (the tables) on Sharepoint (Office 365 online version). And all the users would have their own frontend (forms, queries...) on their own PC, linked to this backend. Would this work? Can everyone add some entries into the database this way? How does it "synchronize" then?
I have created a Asset database using MS Access 2010 & the same was published in SharePoint portal. Post publishing, all the "Query & Forms" are working as excepted but the "Reports" are not working.
The "Reports" is designed with "Group & Sort" option. Post grouping am able to see the "=Sum([Expression])" (i.e. Sum of the Value) value in MS Access Locally but not in SharePoint. Once i published in SharePoint, am getting "#Error" message for all the below expression wherever i have used in my reports design.
Expression Used:
Below expressions are works fine locally & getting #Error in SharePoint.
1. =Sum()
2. ="Page " & [Page] & " of " & [Pages]
3. =Now()
4. =Date()
Could someone please point me in the direction of some websites where people share their databases?
I have searched on the web and have not seen any other websites where there are just databases for download.
I am looking specifically for a Incident/Problem/Change mgmt database that conforms to ITIL methodologies.
or a Project managment database to track issues, actions and minute meetings.
It would really be very helpfull!!
Thx
Is anybody knows why Access 2003 can not share properly db file. When once the file is open nobody can open another session even the db is set "share" in options?
Thank you!
Hi,
Just had to share this...
Been reading Alison Balter's Mastering Access 2000 Development - fantastic book and highly recommended.
She shares a trick on how to give users access to fields within tables without giving them access to other confidential fields within tables.
User is not granted rights to a table.
A query is created by someone with access rights to the table.
The query uses the non confidential fields. At the very end of the query, in SQL, write:
WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
This tells Access that whoever runs the query does so with the Query owners access rights!
Fantastic!
If you want more detail, buy the book!

I got my name back!
I have this database that's been on a server for awhile. I thought I could ditch the server because there are only two computers networked here at the office.
I have the database shared from one computer, but when I try to access it from the other computer, it's giving me a path name error. It seems that the database is linked to and uses several other databases, so, when I try to open the main one, it's trying to look for the other databases on the wrong computer.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Hello fellow developers.
I need a query to help me track share of cost for clients. Anyone have any ideas? This is what I am working with. sorry it didn't paste very well. My problem is that my query keeps subtracking the share of cost and I want it to stop subtracking the share of cost once the share of cost has been met. HOpe that makes sense. Thanks in advance for your help in this matter. Angelflower.

Hi,
Newbie stuff I'm afraid;
is it possible for the following to be achieved in Access;
When a user inputs data into a Form in order to add data to
an underlying table, can this same data populate another table
that has the same field? If so, how is it done?
Thank You
Aloha,
it's my first time here and the reason is because i have a problem with a query.
I have a database of a storehouse. Each storehouse can be in one city. Storehouses have 5 products A, B, C, D, and E. A storehouse may have more, less or equal quantities of a product than it needs. I want to write an SQL query that shares the quantities of a product among storehouses. I tried to write but it was to difficult than i thought, so i ask your help. I attach the database for your convinience. :)
I have created a report in Access that calculates the dates based on a date-type field in a query. I want to be able to use these calculated dates in another report and sort these dates in an ascending order. With the dates, I also want to display certain information from this report. Is it doable? Please let me know....ASAP if poosible...
Thanks!
Can anyone recommend a good place to upload a database so others can access it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI created *.mdb database and I used (user-level security wizard) to give each user a username and a password. The dB file is saved in D: drive. The security wizard created a shortcut on the desktop to open the dB through it. After using that wizard I cannot open the database directly from drive D:.If I try to open it , it says"You don't have necessary permissions to use the database".Now, there are many users should use this db through the network.

I have to redesign the database as things has changed. I've already built a table holding records of Clients along with their address information and some attributes that relates to Clients.Now, I need to create a table for our Business contacts. This will also need to store address info and then some attributes relating to businesses. The problem is I'm not sure if I want to take address out of Client table and have Client and Business table link to Address table to follow the rule of not having any repeating data or simply allow Business table to store address.What would be the best thing to do here?Thanks.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a Access data base (2007) which i splitted and store the back end database in a file server where all users have full control and the individual copies of front end put in the users computers. Unfortunately when one user is using the programme, others can not use. Following error msg appears. Both back end and front end are running under shared mode ( not exclusive ).
"Could not use xxxxxx_Be.accdb; file already in use."
The following code works to change the column header name for a listbox in form view when the data source is a local table, but not when the data comes from a sharepoint list.
Code:

" ORDER BY ActDate;"
'MsgBox sqlstatement

Also it appears that there is no such thing as a caption property for a sharepoint list column.
Hello,
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard.
But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007.
I can't use the Package Wizard.
How can I do to solve this?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:
