I believed that Access is a stable DB program. It looks like I may have to change this view. Yesterday, due to some fault in power supply (SMPS), my PC suddenly went off while I was working in my Access DB. My DB is a personal DB (single user). Today, after replacing the SMPS, when I opened my DB, Access gave a message that my DB is corrupted while it was being used last time. It asked to attempt repair with Yes/No button. I clicked the Yes button and it did nothing. In my third attempt, I was able to open my DB but I am worried whether it will work as before. Could the experts in this forum throw some light about Access DB' stability and measures to prevent corruption? Grateful for advice.
Before I start on this seemingly endless journey of learning Access 2003, I thought it appropriate to ask the question;
Will this program do what I need it to do?
I apologise in advance if this is not the right place to ask the question, I am a complete beginner to Access 2003.
I want to make an electronic log book for the guys at work, there are 5 people of different trades who would need to keep the log.
A typical entry would be as follows
Mon 22/3/06 Alan Smith B Shift
Compressor house (heading) No 1 compressor (plant) Oil pump (component) Filter cleaned (action taken)
Personel (heading) John Jones (personel) Phoned in sick at 15:00hrs, will phone tomorrow to update
Boiler house (heading) No 4 boiler (plant) Water vlave leak (problem) Tightened gland (action taken)
There are many headings, probably hundreds of plant, thousands of components and actions taken
We would need to view events to particular plant or areas between certain dates, some personel would need to enter data, some would only view the data without being able to enter it, few would need to alter the data.
Is Access 2003 capable of this, should I start the journey?
I am looking for a program that will repair a MsAccess 2000 .mdb file. So far all I have been able to find is those that repair the tables, does anyone know of a program that will repair the entire file including the forms?
Can anyone tell me how on a macro to call another application. I am trying to open up a mainframe session so need to run something like c:mainframe.rsf???
Can anyone suggest a good program that will handle scheduled emails to people in our Access database? I need to send an email automatically to each of our employees on their birthday. I need the program for much more than that but that is what I am working on at this time.
I have noticed diagrams showing Microsoft SQL Server accepting SQL statements sent by “SQL Requesters” over connections. I would like to know if Microsoft Access can be used in that fashion?
Put another way, can Access be configured to accept an SQL statement that another program (e.g. a VBA program in a VBA enabled 3rd party app) creates?
Currently, my VBA program instantiates an Access database object and then manipulates it (I just add a record to one of the tables), then closes and destroys it. This solution seems fragile (it stops working—I can explain more if needed). I would like to know if the technique inferred by my question would be more reliable.
We are having a problem with mulitple users leaving an Access db open and then I am not able to make new reports, etc. without calling everyone to close their session.
Is there a way to automatically close a db if user has not used in certain amount of time?
I have a VBA program that I wrote in access. My question is this: Is there anyway to eliminate or minimize the main Microsoft Access program window so all the user would see is my forms and the desktop? Not that ugly gray back drop? Thank you in advance for your help.
As in the topic stands that im looking for a code that hides Access and it starts up like a normal program. Ive searched several things on the forums and i actually did found something only he didnt gave the code ;(.
I am new to this forum as I recently started working in MS Access. I’m hoping someone can please help me with this query I’m trying to do using MS Access 2007.
This task is somewhat similar to a typical points/miles rewards credit card program.
The problem is as follow:
For every $2,000 of accrued purchases in a credit card, an individual will get a gift card.
So, any remaining balances over $2,000 will rollover and be added to next set of transactions, until it reaches $2,000 again. For instance, if on the first week I spent $2,500, I would qualify for my first gift card. The excess $500 would rollover and be added to the next set of transactions until they reach $2,000 again. Therefore, this would qualify me for another gift card.
So far, I’ve created two tables, one that stores accrued purchases (Promo History) and another table based on an Append Query which takes all qualified transactions from the first table and appends those records to the second table (Promo History Qualified) in order to track those qualified transactions over $2,000.
However, I’m stuck on how I would accommodate the remaining balances to be carried over. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
I have a fully operational Visual Basic program that uses MS Office XP and it's related MS Access. Because of security concerns, I recently upgraded to MS Office 2007 and MS Access 2007. I can open MS Access 2007 using the shortcut on the desktop and run any of the database queries. When I try to run the Visual Basic program (called prjPathfinder) and open Access 2007, it says "Error 5: The type initializer for prjPathfinder.Upgrade Support threw an exception". It then shows the first form in prjPathfinder but does not open Access 2007. What am I missing?

I have a program that runs under access 2007 that I use at my work. We will soon be updating to MS office 2010 and the program will not work now because a calender file .ocx was removed from access 2010. Is there a way to get the 2007 .ocx file to work in access 2010?The program I am using is a relatively simple stand-alone and unsupported app that we use to request patient arrival and departure from various radiology tests inside a hospital. No reports are made from the app other than the number of patient transports for the day.
The app is placed on a common drive accessed from any pc in the hospital. No special permissions are required. But our app does use the calendar, time and date functions in access 2007. When I tried the app on a pc with access 2010, it basically says it (access) cannot open the app because a .ocx file is not present.Is there a way to make the access 2010 calendar file work in access 2007?
I am very close to completing a DB Program.... How can I create a desktop Icon that will Launch my Program without Loading Microsoft Access along with it???
I am trying to design a database for the company i work for, and I am wondering what is the best program to use.
My database will be shared on a network, and many different users will be using it at once. Also, I need this database to allow vpn connections so that certain people can access the db from outside of the office. I am not sure if db programs would deny a vpn user access, it might not make a difference how people are accessing info, but i think its worhtwile to mention that.
I appreciate your help, even though you opinions may be just a little biased. but thanks none-the-less.
I have created a database with auto-archiving features. I have "working tables" that are populated when the product is moved to the correct process, in this case when it reaches the test department. When the product is moved out of the relevant process, the database runs several queries which archive the relevant data and deletes the records from the working table.
There are two working tables in the test department, one for test failures and one for rework activities. The question at hand is WHEN should I populate the working table for rework activities:
Option 1: Populate the table when the product moves to the relevant process. This will create and delete thousands of records from the working table every day. Using this method will cause my table to bloat to 50,000+ records that are constantly updated, appended, and deleted.
Option 2: Populate the table when (and IF) the product fails a test. This will keep the table to a much smaller size (around 2500 records) but requires the database to run several queries in the middle of the data entry process, significantly slowing my program.
So which is the faster/better process: Filtering a table of 50,000+ records or appending the working table when you need the data?
Hi, I have a delimma and am not sure how to proceed. It falls under the "You want what? When?" category. Basically, I have created an Access program with several (13) related tables and numerous forms. This program mimics an interview we are using for research and has a lot of VBA coding behind it with quite a few skip patterns, value checking, etc. During the testing phase, I was asked to allow the user to be able to go back and check a response to any previous answer at any given point in time. I hear numerous clicks of people running away from this question. This one has me frustrated and not too happy. I am wondering if there is some way I can show a copy of any form and the data contained within it for the present ID? IF it is a copy then the data, I presume would be locked and the user would not be able to change it. Also, I would want to bring the user back to the point where they were prior to going backwards. Feel my pain yet? Of course as I ponder this I can envision that they are going to want to change a value, because maybe a respondent "changed their mind" about a previous question. But, I am sure they would not want to work their way back to where they were, but want to jump back (forward), all the while I need to insure that any skip patterns that may have changed due to a change in data are followed and if a question that was answered before is now skipped then that data needs to be cleaned. I am concerned that as I begin to meander through this issue that I will have "duplicate ID" issues because as I move backward, possibly through several forms and tables and then move forward again the DB will think I am adding two items rather than changing the one. I.e., it will think I have two identical IDs because it already has one from the original pass and as it moves forward and runs through the automated saves that the second pass would represent a duplicate ID, thus crashing the program. I know this is a multi-pronged question, but I would like to hear some suggestions as to how others with more experience would handle this. I am grateful for your time in reading this and would be even more so for any responses.
I have a bunch of files where I have to copy one piece of data from a field and paste it into a different field on many records...in sort copy once, paste many times. Currently I use Ctrl C for copy and Ctrl V for paste. I'd write a query to do this for me, but not every record is going to recieve the data.
I'm getting tired of having to press Ctrl V on the appropriate records. Is there way to program a function key to do the Ctrl V thing? That way, I'd only have to press one key as opposed to pressing two keys.
Following program i have written in access. what it does is from the query i have created picks up the sizes of doors. calculates hit1 by qty then it needs to put the value into another table alongside the correct sizes. the problem im facing is how do i update the value into another table. heres the listing.
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Dim Db As Database Dim Rs1 As Recordset Dim Rs2 As Recordset Dim lf, rh, drw1, drw2, drw3, drw4 As String Dim q1, q2, q3, q4, q5, q6, qty As Integer Dim hit1, hit2, hit3, hit4, hit5, hit6 As Integer
Private Sub Command70_Click() Dim rs1fieldcount As Integer Dim counter As Integer ''Assign a mdb ''+++++++++++++++ Set Db = CurrentDb counter = 0 Set Rs1 = Db.OpenRecordset("custdoorsize") Set Rs2 = Db.OpenRecordset("cusdoorsbase", dbOpenDynaset)
rs1fieldcount = Rs1.Fields.Count
If Rs2.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "No record found in query"
Else this is where the value will come from Do Until Rs2.EOF If Rs2.Fields!left_door_size <> Empty Then lf = Rs2.Fields!left_door_size hit1 = 1 q1 = hit1 * Rs2.Fields!qty End If
If Rs2.Fields!Right_door_size <> Empty Then rh = Rs2.Fields!Right_door_size hit2 = 1 q2 = hit2 * Rs2.Fields!qty End If
If Rs2.Fields!draw1_size <> Empty Then drw1 = Rs2.Fields!draw1_size hit1 = 1 q3 = hit3 * Rs2.Fields!qty End If
If Rs2.Fields!draw2_size <> Empty Then drw2 = Rs2.Fields!draw2_size hit4 = 1 q4 = hit4 * Rs2.Fields!qty End If
If Rs2.Fields!draw3_size <> Empty Then drw3 = Rs2.Fields!draw3_size hit5 = 1 q5 = hit5 * Rs2.Fields!qty End If
If Rs2.Fields!draw4_size <> Empty Then drw4 = Rs2.Fields!draw4_size hit6 = 1 q6 = hit6 * Rs2.Fields!qty End If
Do While counter <> rs1fieldcount
This is where it finds the correct sizes where it will display the qty value
If Rs1.Fields(counter).Name = lf Then Rs1.Edit Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q1
End If If Rs1.Fields(counter).Name = rh Then Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q2 End If If Rs1.Fields(counter).Name = drw1 Then Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q3 End If If Rs1.Fields(counter).Name = drw2 Then Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q4 End If If Rs1.Fields(counter).Name = drw3 Then Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q5 End If If Rs1.Fields(counter).Name = drw4 Then Rs1.Fields(counter).Value = q6 End If counter = counter + 1 Loop
If Rs2.EOF Then Set Rs1 = Nothing Set Rs2 = Nothing Set Db = Nothing MsgBox "Finished ....." Exit Sub Else Rs2.MoveNext
I am using Microsoft Developer and wish to email the program to my customer. With Developer, there are tons of files and a few folders, not just one exe. I realize I must zip to send a exe, but the folders are a problem, since WinZip, which is what I have, will not accept the folders, only files. I could ship like that but it would be a mess on my customer's end. Any suggestion would be helpful.
The reason I want to send this way is just for speed. Of course I can copy to CD and send that way.
