Make MDE File
Oct 1, 2006
I created an Access/VBA database with a number of forms, reports, tables etc and I want to make it an MDE file.
I split the database into a front end and back end, relinked the two and tested it fine. Then I read I had to convert to 2002-2003 format. Again I did that and relinked and retested, so far so good.
However, when I go into the front end and try to make an MDE file I have a problem. It asks me to select the database, so I point it at the front end (Dry Clean) and then it asks for the name of the MDE to create (Dry Clean1) after that if I look in the folder it immediately creates a db1 and then sits there eating up cycles until I cancel it.
I have let it run for over an hour and it is just a blank screen with 'Make MDE/ADE' down in the lower left. I look in task manager and it says it is not responding, but it is eating up most of the CPU and doing some IO (thus I let it run for an hour once). If I cancel it and go into db1 (which is not the name I specified) it says that the VBA files don't exist and just keeps popping up errors.
Is this a bug? Did I miss a step? Am I just doing this wrong?
I need to make this last step to 'blackbox' the code from the users to complete this project.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-) Thanks.

Would it be ok just to make a copy of the BE file (every so often) rather than to make a copy via code?The user can then just paste over the original if it becomes corrupt.

Hi,
I'm using A2003 to try and create an mde file but it is not playing ball. The mdb is compiling fine with no errors but when I click on "make mde file" and supply the path/filename, Access appears to try to open the mdb again and prompts me with a security warning saying that 'opening this type of file may be harmful.....etc'. The mde does not get created. Any ideas?

I have created a copy of an access file to make some changes to tables, forms and etc. Some of them are deleted, new ones created or the codes are changed.
Is there a way that I can apply all the changes to the original file?

Can anyone help me with setting up a Visual Basic project to where the datasource I use is a Access database on my harddrive. This Access database isn't linked to a server or anything. It's just a database I created and would like for my project to open this file everytime it's attempting to pull data. How can I make this connection? If I am able to use ADO, how do I go about doing this? I would think ADO wouldn't be necessary though.

I'm trying to split up the filename into four separate fields. Here's an example of the filename:
123112 427900 55261 1156833.jpg
A 12312
B 427900
C 55261
D 1156833
The values A, B and C are always the same number of characters. The last value, D, changes in size. It can be anywhere from four characters to twenty. But it always starts at position "20" as with "1" in the case of the 1156833. The extension, jpg, is of no value.I might also add my programming ability is close to nonexistent.

So a while back I created a database which I use to keep track of my companies large list of products. It is very simple only 3 tables, 1 query and 1 form. After running into a problem with copying and pasting updates on each computer in the office I decided to split the database on a network drive. This worked for a bit, however I had to add new fields and modify the form, which corrupted the file. Luckily I had a backup before the split.
As far as I could tell all I had to do was modify the backend file and make a new front end. However it seems like it is not as easy as I thought it would be. How do you modify a split database without corrupting the files or using a non-split copy?

I'm currently working with a form, which is in datasheet view. I have many rows which are combo boxes (yes/no), and the name is rather long. So each line (each row) spreads on to 2-3 pages to the right.What I would like to do is make the namebar, on top of every column, a little bit higher, so the name would be split into two lines, or three. Allowing me to make the width allot smaller.Here is an example of my problem:http://213.213.137.96/~terminal/columns.jpgSo my question is, can I change the height of the column name? Or is there some trick I can use?regardsFrímann Kjerúlf

I recently upgraded a DB from 2003 to 2013 and ran into the following problem.
I have a button that opens a file dialog box and allows the user to upload a file to a predetermined location (and store the address as a hyperlink). I borrowed this code from someone else on here and modified it slightly.
In any case, the button still works, but now when it opens it doesn't have an option for "All files" under file types. So I can upload MS Office files, text files, etc., but not PDF files which are by far the most common types my users upload.
Private Sub Command35_Click()
Dim dd As Integer
Dim fileDump As FileDialog
Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
dd = fileDump.Show
Dim Yourroute As String
Dim yourrouteName
Yourroute = fileDump.SelectedItems(1)
yourrouteName = StrReverse(Yourroute)
yourrouteName = StrReverse(Mid(yourrouteName, 1, InStr(yourrouteName, "") - 1))
FileCopy Yourroute, "us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName
Me.Drawing_Link = yourrouteName & " # us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName
End Sub

I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.

I've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.
One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.
Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?

hello,
I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).
I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?

Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.
I'm using Office 2010.

I am using the following code to select files using Microsoft Office's file dialog:
Public Function fTestFilePicker() As String
Dim fdFileSelection As Office.FileDialog, lstrFileName As String
Const kInitialFile = "F:TestbedTest.txt"
Set fdFileSelection = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fdFileSelection
.AllowMultiSelect = False
[Code] .....
When I execute it, the file picker goes to the right folder but does not highlight the file test.txt even though that file name shows in the File name text box. Is there any way to correct this?

hello everyone, i really need some detailed help as the deadline is approaching and I need to find a solution for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I currently have a batch file that ftps a text file from a Red Hat Linux Server to my W2k C:. I would like to make another command in the batch file that imports this text file into an existing access table. I would like the text file to repopulate the table everytime it is imported. I do not want the data added on to the existing data in the table.
Thank you for your time and insight.!!!:)

I'm using Access 2000. When I click the File menu to go to a recently used file, the entire path is shown. With my file system, the File drop down widow is about 50 characters too short to show the entire path all the way out to where I keep my database. Is there a way to shut off the viewing the entire path "feature?"

I have a button in the form of the current access file. What I want to do is when the user click on the button,
triggered the vba to backup current access file. But since the file is currently open, is this possible? If yes, may I know how to do it with vba?
I have tried two methods but failed:
1) Use copytofile method, but I get permission denied due to file open;
2) Use dbengine.compactdatabase method, but it also has problem if the file is open.
