MS Access Time Delays After Insertion

Nov 6, 2006

Dear All,

I am facing a strange problem off late with the MS Access database. After Insertion of records, I close the recordset and not the connection as I use a global connection, which is set at the time of the app launch. Now, after closing the recordset I move on to the next job in the program flow and return a success to the calling function. Once the value is received by the calling function it opens the same table and finds no records there. I could come around this prob by providing a delay of a few seconds and then returning the value to the calling function. Can someone help me understand this prob and the solution to this?

Thanks in advance.

Prevention Incomplete Data Insertion

Oct 2, 2005

Hello,

Does anybody know of a quick and easy way of preventing data insertion to a table from a form, so that table doesn't get updated unless all form fields are populated?

Thanks

Prevent Insertion Of Blank Records

Nov 27, 2006

I have a form that is opened by the following code:
Private Sub Status_AfterUpdate()
If Status.Value = "WIP - Snagged" Or Status.Value = "WIP - Suspended" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "NotesJobChanged", , , acFormAdd
Forms!NotesJobChanged!txtJobNo.Value = Me!txtJobNo.Value
Forms!NotesJobChanged!Date.SetFocus
End If

This 'NotesJobChanged' form has three text boxes on it - JobNo, Date & Note. The JobNo is autofilled from the code above. If nothing is entered into the other fields and the form is closed this record is entered into the database with only the JobNo filled in.

What I want is a way to force the user to enter data into these fields. I don't want to set the 'Required' property of the field to yes as it generates an awful system error message. If the user attempts to close the form without filling it out can they be reminded that they have to, but with an option then to close the form if they really don't want to enter any data? If they do chose to close without filling it out can it be prevented from being added to the database.

Hope this makes sense :)

Many thanks in advance

Michael

SQL Server

Nov 30, 2006

Using A2002 or A2003, trying to convert an app from Jet to SqlServer

i am using DAO rather than ADO

this statement causes an error
Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblconstants", , dbSeeChanges)

the error is
error 3622 - must use dbseechanges on a sql server table with identitiy bit set

alternatively
Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblconstants", dbOpenDynamic)

produces error 3001 - invalid argument

(Note: i've got another app, in A97 that works with sql server tables without any additional parameters )

Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblconstants") works in A97

------------------
any idea what do i need to do please

One .adp, Two Or More Different SQL Server

Feb 18, 2007

Hi. hope you can understand my english.

I have 2 SQL Servers.
Is there some way to set to which sql server connect the .adp (or .ade) via code??
Now I have 2 sql servers (development and production).. but soon I will have more server at production in different cities. All SQL Servers have different names. Same databases names but the servername are all different.
So I have to configure the connection of the .ade in the the development server. Then when I want to send and upgrade to one of my clients, I have to go to his city and manually reconfigure the .ade to connect to his SQL Server.
This problem would be solved if all SQL Servers had the same name, but this is not my case.

It would be nice to have a config.ini file or something like that where the .ade could read the name of the server to connect to.

Is it possible to implement something like this.

Thanks in advance.

SQL Server

Apr 19, 2005

I've never dealt with SQL Server, and have no working knowledge of it. Is it possible to upsize my db without it? The server that we have uses Windows 2000 Server as it's OS, would this be capable of housing an upsized db? I was tols that MSDE is only capable of about 15 concurrent users, and I will be having +-100 concurrent users on this particular db. Is there another option?

From Jet SQL To SQL Server

Mar 25, 2007

Hi guys, its been awhile. I inherited a database thats an MDB and I need to get it on to sql server but I am having problem with this query, can anyone help please. Its suppose to give you the month and year when you click on it, you just put that in and up come the results on a query or report, now I have something similar to this but the code is very different.

SELECT DISTINCTROW Format$([Main Table].Date,'yyyy') AS [Date By Year], [Main Table].[Violation Type], Sum([Main Table].Loss) AS [Sum Of Loss], Count([Main Table].[Violation Type]) AS [CountOfViolation Type]
FROM [Main Table]
GROUP BY Format$([Main Table].Date,'yyyy'), [Main Table].[Violation Type], Year([Main Table].Date)
HAVING (((Year([Main Table].[Date]))=[Please Enter the Year]));

This gives them a dialog box which ask them for month and year and they enter it in and they get a generated report or form which gives them their results. But when I transfer this to SQL it gives me error message cause Jet SQL and SQL Server dont exatly speak the same language, I mean SQL server doesnt know what Format$ is I guess thats something ACCess comes up with on its own or something, I dont know. HELP PLEASE!!??

SQL Server... Where Do I Start?

Jul 20, 2005

I've downloaded and installed the new SQL server 2005 express edition CTD (June ed.) along with the Express Manager.

How do i get an access database into SQL server?

Now that it's installed, what next? When i try to upsize, it asks me to choose a server, and gives 3 options, and i'm not sure where they come from. Where does this list come from? are they previous installations of the MSDE on my computer? are they servers that ar available over our LAN?

i read that the default name if an instance of SQL server express is SQLEXPRESS but that's not on the list...

do i need to create a new instance of SQL server on my computer to house the database?

I really just want to try it, to see if it's something we should do, but i can't get it to do anything at all. i don't know where to start...

I've done some searches, but nothing tells me where to start. I'm getting really frustrated with this....

Please help me...

SQL Server Tables

Mar 16, 2006

I have A db that links to a SQL Server table via an odbc connection. The problem is that I have to set up the odbc datasource on each machine that needs to run the db. Can I set up an ADO connection to the table and use that connection as a record source through out the app to drive forms , reports, etc? (And this would eliminate the need to set up and odbc connection to the table on each machine...) :confused: :confused:

Oracle, DB2 Or SQL Server?

Apr 19, 2006

Oracle Express Edition, DB2 Express Edition-C, and SQL Server Express Edition.Which one would you develop for / work with if you had a choice (SQL Server, Oracle, or DB2)?I am thinking of making a database application with one of the above and the criteria is:Great support, communityRock Solid and stable; where some clients do not have a DBAFastEasy to back-up and restoreRelatively easy to program and developEasy to deploy and scaleThe general direction I am getting from a few people is leaning toward SQL Server Express. They say it is easier to work with than Oracle, (supposedly Oracle is not for the faint hearted especially when there are network issues) but Oracle is faster and maybe more stable than the others. Haven't really heard anything about DB2...MySQL is out, simply because of the price of an OEM for a desktop application that can be expanded later is too high for what I want to do.Thoughts?Thanks

Help! Transferring To New Server

Oct 11, 2006

I've been asked to assist a local non-profit transfer an Access DB to a new server. The DB was set up a number of years ago and the designers are no longer available.

The old server is set up as a workgroup server, and the new server is set up as a domain server. (I am completely unfamiliar with how networks are set up...I've never dealt with this end before.)

The designers set up a .mdw file which (I believe) controls permissions etc. After much wrangling, we finally uncovered the admin password. However, even signed in on a workstation as the admin w/ full rights, I still can't copy a functional version of the DB to removable media in order to move it to the new server.

The server does not have MS Access loaded....only the .mdb and .mdw files.

I *think* I have to replace the 'secured' .mdw file with a generic, clean .mdw. Do I need to do this on the server, or the workstations, or both?

What am I doing wrong????

Thanks!

SQL Server Connection?

Jan 30, 2007

Hi all,

I have an .adp that works fine on a number of people's laptops.

One of the users however, keeps getting an error message stating that SQL Server does not exist or access has been denied.

This particular user is definitely setup on SQL Server with dbo permissions. She can also ping the server.

I have tried creating a DSN and this doesn't work either.

I am at a loss as to why this error message is occurring given that she can see the Server and has definitely been setup.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kabir

SMS Messaging Server

Jun 11, 2007

Dear All,

I have developed a full attendance and payroll system.
I want to make this system available for responding remotely as well through email and SMS.

Thus, I am planning to attach a GSM modem into the server hosting the system, and assigning a fixed telephone no. The client can send SMS to this server, which in turn respond to his request.
To make this, I should also install a third party software through which I can access to the Incoming and outgoing SMSs database using MS Access coding.

I have got such third party software called Activexperts SMS Messaging Server. However, the software license is $ 1,400 which is expensive for me.

Thus, can you suggest me another software name I can use to handle such job.

Thanks,

Client/Server?

Jun 18, 2007

Hello, I am new to this forum and hope someone will be able to help me.

I understand that when querying using a split MS Access database it retrieves all the data to the client machine and then applies the criteria (hope this is correct) at the client side.

If I were to link to Oracle XE tables via ODBC, does a query using these linked tables still bring across all the records to the client or will it run the query on the server and just bring down the records matching that criteria?

Many thanks in advance...

Access FE SQL Server BE

Dec 5, 2007

We're currently looking at changing a couple of my more complex Access 2003 databases to Access Front End with a SQL Server Back End. This should give us better stability and reduce network traffic loads. I was looking at the Access help file on Upsizing and came across the following paragraph. On face value to a novice like me this would seem the easy option - but is it?

"Create an Access database front-end to an SQL Server database back-end so that you can create a front-end/back-end application.

This approach requires very little application modification since the code is still using the Jet database engine. "

Would anyone recommend this approach?

Ole Server Problem

Feb 13, 2006

I have an Access 2000 database that is linked to a SQL server back end. One of the tables has 4 OLE object fields into which we insert bitmaps of the client's logo. We do this by right-clicking on the field and then going to Insert Object > Create from File and then select the .bmp file to be inserted. This works fine when I do it on my site, but when I connect to the customer's machine using PC Anywhere and try to do it on his machine, I get a message saying that the OLE Server isn't registered.

I've searched on the error message and all the answers say that they apply to Access 2002 and 2003.

What might be causing it in Access 2000 and how do I fix it?
