I have an Access mdb file that uses linked tables to connect to SQL Server 2000 using a System DSN. The Access database contains many databound forms that are used to update data in SQL Server. Recently, we moved the database from a Windows 2000 server to a Windows 2003 server. After we did this, the Access database would lock up at certain spots in the forms.
We have been investigating this for over a week, and finally realized that it seems to be a Windows 2003 issue. We have tried putting the database on two different servers running Windows 2000 and have had no issues.
We then tried putting it on two different Windows 2003 servers, and had the constant lockups.
Our original thought was that there was an issue with the new Jet drivers for Windows 2003, but we looked at the msjet40.dll on both Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 and the version on all is 4.00.9025.0.
Does anybody have any idea on what could be causing this?
I have a website that is asp (not .net) based with an Access DB and I am in the process of replacing an old windows 2000 server with a much faster windows 2003 server. Here lies the problem I have a script as part of the admin that exports data to a csv file. The query joins 4 tables together to get the data needed for the export. On the windows 2000 server it takes 1-5 seconds to execute and have the csv file ready for download. On the window 2003 server it times out. I striped it down to use 2 joins and it worked although it took more like 10-20 seconds to export. This exports a specific range of ID's and the range is normally only 40-50 rows. If I put time stamps in the code the problem is in the query of the database, so I know its not in the file write etc.
I am going to rewrite it to use multible querys instead of one large query, but I have many other sites that I am moving to this server that would work better if I can figure out why it is so slow.
The windows 2000 is a 900 mhz server the windows 2003 is a 2.8GHZ server both have 1 GIG of ram. The database file is on the local drive on both servers. I am guessing it is a difference in the Jet version, I just haven't been able to find a solution to the problem. This uses a DSN connection, configured the same on both servers. I have also tried it as a DSN-less connection with the same result.
I have installed access on the server and to execute the command in access it is <2 sec.
I am not an access expert I normally program in .net and php and use MySQL and MsSQL for databases, we just have these legacy sites that use Access DB's
having some serious troubles with a MS Access 2000 project running on a Windows 2003 Server environment.
If I compile the project it doesn't produce a compiling-error. Everything seems to work fine. Creating a .mde file and running it on a Windows Server 2003 produces some serious errors. The project seems to be starting correctly but opening a form or simply trying to close the application causes MS Access to crash! :mad:
I tried the project on 2 different Windows Server 2003 environments, 1 having MS Access 2000 installed and 1 having only MS Access 2000 Runtime installed. Both are experiencing the same problems.
The following references are used in the project: - Visual Basic For Applications - Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library - Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.6 Library - Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library - Microsoft Jet and Replication Objects 2.6 Library - OLE Automation - Microsoft Office 9.0 Object Library - Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.8 for DLL and Security
I tried the following solutions to solve the problem: * Removing MS Access completely and reinstalling it. * Compiling and creating a .mde on the Windows 2003 Server which has the full version of MS Access 2000 installed. * Using JetComp to repair the database. * Creating a new MS Access 2000 application and copy all Forms/Modules into it.
Nothing helped so far..
The same project is running correctly on Windows 98, ME, 2000, 2000 Server and XP Pro/Home. Both Windows 2003 Servers are fully updated, including updates regarding MS Access.
I have written a database in Access 2003, saved as an Access 2000 format. This runs fine on Windows XP workstations. When I install the same system on a Windows 7 system, my login screen launches, the user is able to enter in their name and password. Then nothing happens. What is supposed to happen is a form opens up after the password is entered that applies security written in code based on the user.
I developed a database in Access 2000 on an XP SP2 machine with linked tables to another Access 2000 database.
Everything works fine using my machine, but when a user running Windows 2000 uses the database, they cannot add a new record to the linked table (either directly using the datasheet or a form). Running a query on the table also did not let me add a new record.
I have searched the MSDN libraries, but I wasn't able to find anything.
I have a database that currently has security in place so that users input their own usernames and passwords to access the database. The users have recently been added to a windows 2000 server and I want to be able to use their windows 2000 server logon credentials to provide them with automatic access to the database. Is there anyone out there who knows how to set this up? It is a rather urgent request if you could get back to me either on this forum or via email
My customer has Access programs that work on their Windows 98 OS PC's, but when they try to use them on Windows 2000 OS PC's they will not work. The programs I believe were originally written in Access 97 and now they have Access 2000 on the PC's.
By not working I mean the following -
The Access program allows them to enter a document name and then the file opens in Word - BUT - when they use it in Windows 2000 it does not open the document at all. It says file not found in Windows 2000 and the file does exist.
** The reason they have Access opening files is that Access keeps track of them for auditing purposes.
Now here is something that I want to mention. On PC's that were upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 the programs work.
Can anyone here tell me what is missing from 98 to 2000 that would do this.
We are sharing an Access 2003 database amongst two departments that contains twelve (12) tables that are SQL Server linked tables. Nine (9) of the tables work just fine for people in both departments. Three (3) of the tables cannot be opened until the user refreshes the link(s) using their ODBC DSN.
We do not understand why nine of the tables work without issue but three will not.
Has anyone ever run into this issue before? Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
I have been running queries and reports with data from our company database (a third-party system based on FoxPro2.6) by linking tables into MS Access 97 for years. We have now upgraded to XP and Office 2003, and suddenly I can no longer do this but get a message "Could not find installable ISAM".
I've tried to locate the required file on the Internet but no luck so far. Can anybody help me? I am currently using an old pc with Office 97 on it to run the reports, but it's in a different office location and makes the whole job very tedious. Are there any work-arounds?
hi im running windows 2000 server and im hosting more then one website from it.. if "members" want to ftp there folder at my server, via the login user name and password that i give them.. but i can not seem to have no more the one ftp site running at any one time, i get an error say that:
The service could not be started because it is not correctly configured. Make sure that its server bindings do not conflict with other sites running on the same machine
what does this mean and what am i doing wrong.... thanks
I obtained this code from the Net and am successfully using it on a form in MS ACCESS 2002 under Windows 2000. However, all of the string functions result in compile errors and force debug mode when the form is executed under XP Pro (Compile error: Can't find project or library). Any assistance will be appreciated as I am approaching my deadline for rolling this app out on XP Pro systems. Thanks.

I was wondering if any of you have had experience firsthand or knew of reasons why an Access 97 database should not be installed on a WIndows 2000 network?
I've installed the windows XP. Also, I have an ODBC connection to ACCESS 2000 database. My scripts are already reads data from ACCESS databse. But it is failed to create new table in database. What may this problem be solved?
Hello If the web server is windows 2000 server.there no problem. If I am changing it to Windows xp professtional.I am Getting the following error Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005) [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0xa34 Thread 0xeb0 DBC 0x1052ed4 Jet'.
While opening a connection to access data base. How to solve it?
Could you please someone take a look int my problem? I have made an Access database with forms, reports and everything. We used it on the LAN and it worked fine. Now I would like to enable users to reach the data even from home, for which I thought the terminal server would be the best (due to mostly slow connection type).
I asked our provider to install Windows Server 2003 R2 on our remote server. Then I installed Access 2003 and copied the mdb file to that server.
The file can be open but it blocks all VBA codes in the forms, modules, etc. I think this is related to the security issues and something called sandbox of Access and tried to follow the instrudtion on the help section, but no success.
Please guide me to run my mdb on Windows Server. Thanks!!
I have an access 97 database which all my users will use, back end sits on the server share and is a mapped drive, front end is on the users local drive at present but will become a shared DB on the terminal server.
I can get the DB running by opening in admin mode using the shift key but if I try to run it normally then it just opens access then closes immediately :confused:
Ive checked the event logs and all I get is this..
Faulting application MSACESS.EXE Version 8.0.0.3512
If I enter the DB as admin, then try to run the forms it crashes, is there something in Windows 2003 server that could be blocking them or the code behind them?
In our company we use a windows 2003 server. Our database is ms access 2002. The back end of the db is situated in a directory on the primary HD of the server. All our workstations use windows professional. The DB works great when inputting data from workstations using widows pro.
I use a vista (ultimate) laptop. It appears that when I enter data from my vista laptop at times it corrupts the backend of the db. None of the other workstations do this. Is vista a problem here in this situation?
I just got a new machine with office 2003 but it doesn't include ms access. Can I use access2k with this new version of office?? so I can do reports and put them into word etc??
By the way, my FO line manager wants an IT report, i am wandering if there is any possibility to search and export users. The report should show in the status column who are disabled, who are enabled, date created and date expired in date column in active directory windows server 2003 environment?
How unusual is it for a database to become MUCH smaller when converting it from 2000 to 2003 formats. I mean 600megs to 10 megs. And as far as I can tell all the records are intact....!
We have just sold our first database which is written in Access 2000. However the buyer runs 2003 and we are having trouble with getting it to run correctly. Does anyone know anything about programming differences between MS 2000 Access and 2003?
Also is it possible to install both 2000 and 2003 on one computer (and also 2007)?
So far our problems are: 1. We are tripping their security alerts. 2. We can't seem to read public variables from another form.
I have 5 databases running 100% in Access 2000. We are switching to Office 2003 within a couple weeks via an upgrade. What should I do to prep my databases for the switch?
Is there any upconverting tool I need to do ect? Thanks.
I just upgrades from Access 2000 to 2003 assuming that once I converted my old database, I would get the new style command buttons... is there anything I can do to get them to work?
It's not letting me open it since i did it in 2003, and im trying to open it now at home in 2000. I'd really appreciate if anyone can help me convert it and then attach it...thanks :o
Hi, I have a few Access 2003 databases and I need to open them on my computer which has Access 2000 on it. Can anyone please tell me how to convert it so it is compatible? I have looked into "databse utilities" "convert to" etc but can't figure it out.
