Guys, my database have 7 fields and 690 thousands of lines.
When I resort, for exampe by date field, the database on my P4-3.2 with 1gb memory, on Access 2003 with XPpro freezes and does not respond at all!!!
On my old P3-866 512mb with Win2k it was working! After 3 minutes the computer was getting back.... But now.... I waited for 20 minutes. The access doesnt load not a CPU, and no IO readswrites are done - it simply stops responding.
What can we do with it? Why the perfomance is SO LOW?!
Hi, I have a huge databse with a form, showing record info. If I use a search button to search the databse it takes ages to find the record. The quickest way is to find the record by hand, find the record number, copy that, and paste it into the form and hit enter.
Does anyone have any ideas how i can speed thing change over up.
I am about to give this database to a client. It basically manages deliveries. Everything on my form is functional. The problem is Access seems to freeze indiscriminatly. I have no idea why. I don't believe Access is processing code when it freezes because control-break does not even work. I am hoping some of the locals here can take a look at my DB and maybe find the issue. This was written in A2K3.
The freeze can be broken by clicking into another program then back to access again. The freeze seems to occur onload, on new record and on filter.
:confused: Hi all - hope someone can help I dont know where to start.
I've got a cmd button that imports data from a excel sheet - that actual code is working fine, however when it runs it causes Access to freeze.
The data in imported correctly - so it must complete the process but Access locks up and has to be ended via task manager.
Any one got any clues why this is happening and how I can stop it?
This is an Access 97 database running mainly on NT and 2000

I just recently noticed that the database that I have been working on has changed from around 60 mb to 430 mb. I added a few queries and forms. But could that really add to the size that much?
I try to get an ASP file work with Access database and I get this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers- Error '80004005' Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 126 (Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)).
I tried everything and nothing - and the configuration of this driver doesn't work... How do I fix this driver??
I have a database that I have setup to compact and repair every time I close the program. The database will begin the process of compacting and repairing then when the status bar gets about half way across the process will simply freeze on me. I have let the program run for up to 10 or 15 minutes. I end up click the close button and closing the database. Also there does not seem to be any error with the database since I can open the database and work with it and run reports, it just won't compact and repair.
my requirement was for a control in a subform and I needed all this to affect a first column freeze.The code was in the Onload for the main form.
Code:
Dim ctl As Control Set ctl = Forms("frmPlanner").Controls("subfrmTempCtrl") Me.SetFocus ctl.SetFocus ctl.Form.Controls(0).SetFocus DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdFreezeColumn
It does work but I can't fathom why I need more than the last .SetFocus. Leave any of the prior ones out and it gives an error to the effect that can't do it in those circumstances. I understand the control has to have focus for it to work but why are the other's required?
I have a form (frmMain) which has a header with some basic links and text boxes I would like to keep as a frozen pane on top as the user are scrolling down the detail section of the form. The detail section does include a subform if that makes a difference (frmhome). When going to Options>Current Database> tabbed documents, the form header stays frozen perfectly.
I however would like to use "Overlapping windows" as the form center aligns in the Access window instead of left aligning when using "tabbed". So either :
1) how do I keep the header frozen in "overlapping" or 2) how do I center align the form in "tabbed" view, as right now the form just wants to go as far left as possible in the full Access window.

Only a couple of those characters are in my database and will change. Other than that items will continously be the same. The items that are optional and we don't have not only have to be blank but have to have spaces there instead...not 0's.
How do I set up a query to kick all of this out? I tried something like:
I inherited a database from someone else which has about 9000 records.
When sorted, one can see that the AutoNumbering starts at about 72K...then after a while there is a jump to about 134K...then after some more records the AutoNumber suddenly goes up to about 396K.
Does anyone know the most likely reason(s) that the numbering is like this?
I have a form that contains a field for file box numbers, and a field for two different box numbers. I have a check box set up for the data entry person to check when the box if full of files. I need the the box numbers to increment by 1 for the two different box colors when the check box is = yes. Can this be done?
i've just delivered my program to my client and there are 2 MAJOR bugs.
bug 1: the first time program is opened, everything works fine. it goes to the switchboard, etc., everything's cool. however, if he closes the program (i think he closed it using the red X) and tries to get back in, only one item on the switchboard shows up from that point on. the thing is, this problem DOESN'T HAPPEN ON MY COMPUTER so i have no way of even attempting to figure this out. the way i have my program set up is i have an interface and a BE and an .mdw file all in the same folder. i've created a shortcut that uses a workgroup switcher so that he can open the program and use it w/the .mdw file.
i have no idea what could possibly be causing this to happen. i would think that the switchboard would open correctly every time.
bug 2: this one does happen on my computer.
setup: i have frmCustomers (outer form) with sfrmJobs (subform) with a subform inside of that named sfrmFinances. Everything in frmCustomers works fine, and everything in sfrmJobs works fine. The primary key (JobID) in sfrmJobs is entered manually. After the JobID is entered, sfrmFinances is accessible. sfrmFinances' control source is qryFinances, which has a few fields from tblJobs (control source for sfrmJobs). frmCustomers is linked to sfrmJobs by CustomerID and sfrmJobs is linked to sfrmFinances by JobID.
problem: a new customer is entered in frmCustomers. a job number is entered for the new job in sfrmJobs (JobID). the user then attempts to update a field (any field, but for example, ContractPrice) and a window pops up and says, "Field cannot be updated". you click ok and it pops up again, at least 10x in a row. then it finally lets you enter data, but when you try to save the record, it pops up with another window that says,
"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."
excuse me?? how could there possibly be duplicate data??? the funny thing is tho, when the user closes the form, and then opens it back up and tries to enter financial data w/the same customer, it allows it.
???????
The first bug is more important than the second one, but any advice or ideas on either are EXTREMELY appreciated. thank you very much in advance.
Hi all,I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. We currently have an mdb which includes a form and 4 tables. The entire mdb is around 800 megs. What we used to do is distribute this mdb to users in completely different locations on a CD, but now it has become to large for a cd to hold. Our manager wants us to figure out a way to distribute this mdb using only 1 cd, without zipping it. How would i go about doing that? Is there currently an installer, that can download the database from our ftp site and then insert the tables, or is there any other easier way i can get this done? P.s. The database will likely get larger and larger every yearThanks in advance
I have a bunch of people with laptops who go on reviews throughout the state and leave reports on site with the facilities they review. They go out in multiple person teams and work together on reviews. Currently, each person types out their own citations in MS Word on their own computer, saves them to a flash drive and then the facilitator compiles them all together and prints out a report. Then the facilitator comes back to the office, provides their support staff a copy of the report, and then the support staff finalizes it and sends out a letter.
Unfortunately, none of our laptops have Internet capability out in the field.
My idea is to have a multi-user split main database that is stored at our main office. This is for the support staff to store all of the reports. Then I propose to have a local copy of the database (much smaller) on each of the laptops.
Here are my questions: Lets say that 3 people are out on review together. They each have their entry form on their own computer. The form will be sending information to a few different tables. How can they easily export out their results so that the facilitator could easily import them into their database on their computer.
If all of that were to work somehow, how could the facilitator easily export out the review information tables so that the support staff could import them into the main database.
One of the many stumbling blocks I see relates to Primary keys. The main database will have a main table with a PK of 2008.100 for example. While out on review the reviewers will not be able to use the naming conventions of the main database PK. They might use something like the City name and date (Pensacola02222008). Could that PK be automatically switched into the other format upon import?
Let me know ya'lls thoughts. I have been trying to get my head around this for a few days and have not been able to come up with a feasible solution.
I am upgrading a .mdb to MSSQL. The .mdb is 17MB, but the resulting MSSQL is 72MB. Tried using both the Access Upsizing Wizard and Enterprise Manager DTS. I have done this a number of times before, but never ran into this problem. Any ideas what coule be going on, and how to fix it?
I'd read a few places that embedding pics wasnt the greatest of ideas, but I thought that 1 JPG embedded onto 2 forms would be ok and would prevent the pic from being deleted or moved. (Theyre always screwing with the server here.) But it's making my DB huge.
No pics embedded Size: 808kB
1 Pic Embedded into 2 forms Pic Size: 156k JPG DB Size: 135 MB
Is this normal? I could understand a 156k pic adding somewhere around 156k to my DB, but 134 megs? Anyone have any insight?
We have a huge report in our company that includes all our customers, all the visits done by our sales reps, all the products they have and if a product was out of stock in the visit or not.
I want to create a querry that exports a table with 3 columns:
1-->customer 2-->date of last visit 3-->average of out of stock products on the LAST visit
I tried to make a pivot table, managed to grab the last visit (setting the date to maximum) but the average of out of stock products were aggregated totally and not for the last day.

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.
Hi! This is Kishore, working on VB Project which is using MS-Access95 as backend. Now, i want to change the Database login Password. Could anyone guide me in this context.
Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
I have two database applications and they are: - the (A) application is for administration use. - the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
A few years ago I’ve made an access database on access 2000. The problem is that now I’ve installed the office 2003, and I can’t make the database work properly.
At first says that are missing those files: “tshoot.ocx”, “msioff9.ocx” and “msowc.dll”; so, I’ve copy them from another computer using office 2000 and now only complains about “msioff9.ocx” saying that my database contains a reference incomplete to it.
Is there no other way to convert my database do work properly with access 2003? What can I do?
