LDB Files
Nov 29, 2007I have a locking file that I can't seem to remove. No one is in the database that's associated with the file but it tells me there's been a sharing violation. Can anyone tell me how to remove those files?

MDE Files
Jun 20, 2005Hi guys.
Just a quick one, I couldn`t find anything on this or in any books I have.
I`m assuming I need to create an MDE file befire I can distribute my database for other people to use ?
Anyway, that I have done, but the question is, I`ve done this and have a select number of ppl using my database, entering LIVE data etc.
Once This has been done can I open this back up in access and make changes to the database, eg forms, reports etc etc ?
If not, is there anyway, I can pull the data out of this and import it into my origanal file, which can then be remade into an MDE ?
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Oct 24, 2007Is there any way to embed html type help file in an .mdb/.mde file? I have created an html type file, MS Word saves it as an .mht (Whayever that is?). Is my only option going to be to distribute this .mht with the .mde? How do you access the help file from with in Access?
What are some other relatively easy user help authoring options?

May 22, 2007I was wondering if access has a log system that can log when a user connects to the database and would give date, time and username? My database is setup for multiple users.

Creating Help Files
Jul 15, 2005I wondered if some can advise me as to how to make help files and linking them in to the dabase. i.e. if someone clicked on a certain section for help then it would go to the help for that section. Is there an easy program to help write the files??

Oct 18, 2005Dear friends,
I'm working on a dbase now that categories files used for sales. The dbase has 2 functions: searching the texts and saving/editing the texts. I'm not a (Hollywood) star in VBA and a need to build in the search function an option where the user can search in the found documents :( . In the save/edit option the user has to copy/paste the text in access and save the text with his attributes. The texts are saved outside the dbase in the same folder, but when the text is saved i'd like the filepath as an attribute-value. Pls help me!
Audio Files Db
Apr 26, 2006Apologies to all who have been trying to help me with this db design challenge. It appears my explanations of what it’s for and what it’s supposed to do is confusing.
I think I should explain again, simplifying as far as I can for clarity.
It’s as if I had a number - let’s say 10 - standard letters (that I’m henceforth referring to as ‘styles’) that I wanted to personalise and to be able to send to any name on a list except:
•It’s in audio format meaning I can not do a ‘mail-merge’ equivalent.
• Each name has to be recorded and manually ‘mixed’ into each style* so where my set’s complete for one name I have 10 different sound files with the same file name, each kept in a folder named according to style.
•The primary purpose of the database is to let me enter a name and a style and it will tell me if there’s a file ready with that combination.
There are some things that complicate this:
•There are many ways of spelling some names (e.g. abi, abby, abbey, abbie). Looked at another way, there are many names that when pronounced, sound the same as each other! Each of these needs to refer to the same filename (which could be available in any or all styles). This means I need to associate all the spellings of one name to the one file name.
•Also, there are some names that are spelled the same but pronounced differently (e.g. jean – which can be a male’s name which sounds very different from the female’s name with which English speakers are more familiar).
There will always be unusual names that come up which will need to be recorded and mixed for one particular style, used then disposed of. However, the aim is to have 1500 odd files with the most popular names pre-prepared for each (and yes, I am aware of the scale of the project and no, there isn’t another way!) so they can automatically be dispatched as required. I’m guessing linking different spellings will increase the number of names – available in every style – to around 4000.
I hope it’s appropriate that I’ve explained this in detail here. I think it’s required because this db design is such an unusual one that when I'm asking specific things regarding tables, queries etc. I can refer to this for the context.
I’m not asking anyone to do this for me. I want to have done it myself but I need to be borrowing your expertise.
Also, this posting is not a request for any specific help about the project though, of course, any comment is welcome.
The thread which is currently addressing the data structure and table relationship issue is:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=106356
I will edit this to link to threads looking ad different aspects as I go along (providing this approach is acceptable with the forum community).
Cheers :)
*This is what’s taking most of my time at the moment (there's a good few thousand already recorded since the project was started).

Using Different DBs With Differnt MWD Files
Jan 31, 2007Hi all:
Using Access 2000. I have about 5 databases but only one needs to be secured so I created a system.mdw for it. After doing that the secured db works but all other db's ask for authentication also but since there are no users or groups in the other db's, the authentication fails and I can't use the db's. If I put the original system.mdw back the other db's work but the one that needs to be secured it wide open.
Is there a way to do this??????
thanks :confused: :eek:

Need To Delete Some Files
May 17, 2007Before I spend a load of time on this, thought I'd check to see if it's even possible.
Thanks to some help from folks here, I have some code that allows me to output some reports to a folder and then email those reports as attachments, all from inside my db.
Now I'd also like to delete those files after the email is sent, before the module ends.
Anyone know if this is doable? If so, I'll get started working on the code.
Thanks

New Files Being Created

If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

Zero Size Mdb Files
Mar 11, 2008Hi, I am new ( as of today) to this forum. I have been using Access for a few years following on from using Q&A. I manage a database for membership for a club and more recently designed my own database for another personal application. Last weekend I did a full backup on a new laptop I have that has both Access 2003 and 2007 on it ( I don't use the 2007 version at the moment) and following that most of the databases, including backups have gone to zero kb in file size. I tried a system restore to no avail. I can see the files but they are 0kb in size and won't open. Does anyone have any idea why this should happen and more importantly how (if) I can resolve it ?. The laptop has Vista as the O/S.
Kind Regards & greetings from a wet and windy Dublin,
Ian

Attaching Files
May 23, 2006This might be impossible, but I was wondering if there was a way to attach files to records on a form. I work for a marketing company and I have built a contact management database and I need to attach files such as letters and emails to records on a form. I also would like a list of files attached to that record to display also. I don't know if this makes sense or if it is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Files Not Found?
Sep 27, 2004I have copied a copy of my system onto a user's computer to start using the system. However, when the user tries to open the system, all of my forms that use Date() come up with some error. Then it goes on to show me an error message saying "VeenLR3.hlp can't be found". That's actually a help file. I have copied all the files in this drive, "C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedVBA" from my computer onto hers but the error still shows up.
Does anyone know what this error is all about?
