I have basic knowledge of microsoft Access and do very little with script and coding. I also design websites and can code in HTML and have good skills in Dreamweaver etc.
If I want to create a database driven website is Visual Web Developer 2005 a good software choice??
The way I see it the software will allow me to use my design skills and database knowledge to create the data driven website without needing alot of knowledge about MYSQL and PHP etc.
I have developed an Access mdb file with lots of tables, forms, queries, reports, and VBA code. I want to be able to distribute this to Access-less users. I understand that the Access Developer Extensions enable this to be done and that the two wizards assist.
My first question is this: Are the Access Developer Extensions and the two wizards included in Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition?
I ask because this is what was recommended by a Microsoft representative and is what I’ve purchased. This came along with something called MSDN Library, but I’m not sure what that allows me so it is possible that this library will contain the elements that I’m searching for, but so far I’ve not found it.
Are the Access Developer Extensions only provided as part of the Visual Studio for Microsoft Office Tool package, as I’ve seen referenced in several forums and articles, including yours, or are these in fact part of other tools, such as the Professional Edition of Visual Studio that I’ve purchased?
I'm trying to locate the Developer Extensions so that I can compile my Access 2003 application to distribute to my end user.
I'm getting totally lost in the myriad of documents and links on the MS website that keep sending my round in ever decreasing circles. I've downloaded Visual Studio Express - Visual Basic Edition but can't seem to find it in there.
Can anyone point me in the direction of the software that I need to be able to distribute my Access 2003 applications.
I have a user running office 2007, with a program called Dev_Tracker wthat uses a front end of access 2000. This program allows a user to log in their project hours. The skinny is that when they lauch the program and try to make an entry they receive this error message:
Run-time error 3075
syntax error in date in query expression tbl_timesheet.weekof=#2.4.2008# AND tbl_timesheet.user=dworden.
If the user logs into another machine it works fine so it appeare to local to the machine. I have cleaned the registry and done other tweaks but no luck.:confused: Any ideas would be helpful.
Hi, I have created a database with Office developer 1.5 and I am having problems creating my runtime version. I have been told that the VBA included in this program wont do the job, that I must purchase a full version Visual Basic 6.0. Is this true? Thanks all
My main experience is with MySQL and PHP so I'm kindof stumbling around in the dark here. Heres my story:
We recieved a new server and migrating from (Windows Server 2000, IIS 5.0, Access 2000) to (Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, Access 2003) has been nothing but problems.
I have setup IIS to work with ASP, I've also setup a system DSN. The access file was copied over from the previous server. We're running Access 2003 and now I can't seem to get this ASP script to work.
When I try to upload a file to the script I get this error:
Line: 42 Char: 7 Error: HELP!!! Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid SQL statement expected 'DELETE','INSERT','PROCEDURE','SELECT', OR 'UPDATE'. Code: 0 Url: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)
Its included in a file called FileRead.htm here is the part that refers to the error lines: Code: var TheFile, FileStrm;// Retrieved field namesvar M_ssn, M_inits, M_Lname, M_Fname, M_DSSN, M_ruc, M_paycode;var M_normamt, M_payamt, M_pgrp, M_poe, M_pltcd, Payrollnum, Payrolldate;// var Trash, FieldData, FieldNames;var TrashLineNum = 1;// Create the file Stream Object (ReadOnly)TheFile = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");FileStrm = TheFile.OpenTextFile(FName,1,false);// Setup the Database Connectionvar SQLCommand, TheRS, TheConnection, DSNString, Commands, MyDC;FieldNames = new Array("ssn","inits","lname","fname","dssn","ruc","cco", "payamt","normamt","notsureone","pgrp","poe", "pltcode","recstatus","paychgflg","paystatuscode", "payrollnum","payrolldate");// Connect the the DatabaseDataLib.ConToDB();MyDC = DataLib.GetDC();// Get Payroll NumberPString = prompt("Enter Payroll Number","025");Payrollnum = parseInt(PString,10);// Get Payroll DateDString = prompt("Enter Payroll Date","20000101");Payrolldate = DateLib.FromMil(DString);// Setup the Database Connectionvar NumRecs = 0;//MyTest = DataLib.GetRS("PaydayUpdate1");alert("About to cross into the CurExtract!!!");MyRS = DataLib.GetRS("SELECT * FROM CurExtract");
I set an alert after this line but it doesn't pop up.
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'll be checking this very frequently.
The company are using Access 97 as the front-end to a SQL2000 database. Tables are updated, queries run and forms used. They are moving to SQL2005 but not considering updgrading Access 97. Will the current queries, forms etc still work? Thanks.
I'm trying to set up an access 2000 .adp project connecting to a SQL server 2005 database. I can set up the connection ok, but once I have completed the setup process, I can the following error messages if I try to creat any new database objects:
If I try to create a new object (a view or table etc), Access tells me that:
'I do not have exclusive access to the database at this time. your changes will not be saved.'
If it's a view, I then get the following message:
'The Visual Database Tools within Visual Studio 6 and Access 2000 do not support some new features of SQL Server 2000. Because you are manipulating an object in a SQL Server 2000 database, some operations will be unavailable to you. In rare cases, you might not be able to save the database object you modified. In other cases, you will be able to save the object, but its previously existing settings for features new to SQL Server 2000 will be lost. In most of these cases, you will be warned if the Save operation will eliminate existing settings or property values.
For a complete description of the interaction between SQL Server 2000 and Visual Database Tools within Visual Studio 6 or Access 2000, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q266277, "Using Visual Studio 6 and Access 2000 Visual Database Tools with SQL Server 2000." Knowledge Base articles are available in the MSDN Library Visual Studio documentation or at http://support.microsoft.com/support/.'
To supress this message next time you design a SQL Server 2000 object from Visual Studio 6 or Access 2000, check the following box.
Finally, I get the following error.
'You are connected to a version of sql server newer than sql server 2000. save will be disabled'
Obviously I want to be able to creat and save new objects.
Can anyone help? I've sone some searches on the MS support site, but have not found anything that appears to be relevant.
I would like to convert a database, which was made for me, in order to enable it to be used on my current system.
I get the error message below when trying to open the database in Microsoft Access 2003.
The database was made using Microsoft Access 2.0.
Will I need Microsoft Access 2.0 to update/delete the database all the time?
Or can I convert this to be used with Microsoft Access 2003?
I have tried opening the file exclusively and I get the same error.
I have selected Show Help and it advises me to import all the objects from the database into a new database. This can`t be achieved as I can`t open the file to retrieve the contents.

We are looking for an Access Developer for a small business. You must be in the New York City area and willing to come in for an interview. I will check this board every 1-2 days.
I got a new job (another one, actually) and though it has absolutely nothing to do with databases, or computer work for that matter, I told my boss that I like building database apps with Access. He sparked up and said that he has a program in Visual Fox Pro, an application that's "more powerful" than access, but someone came in way back when and wrote a "program" that did some calculations to the existing DB, but the PC is dying and when it does, will take the addition with it. He said that he'd be interested in me looking into it and hopefully being able to replicate the work the prior person had done.
Has anyone worked with VFP and worked in Access with it? It doesn't seem very flexible at all and it's not very intuitive. I'm not impresses with it at all, but I have an opportunity here with my boss and would like to "get her done" so to speak.
Any help or links to good VFP tutorial sites would be greatly appreciated.
I have an Access application I need to package for redistribution. Following the instructions on MSDN, I purchased Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003 to acquire the Access Developer Extensions which include the Package Wizard.
After installing VSTO, I found that Access Developer Extensions are not included. Can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of Access Developer Extensions? Is the Package Wizard available for download anywhere? Perhaps someone with an MSDN subscription would be nice enough to make this available to me?
Are any instructions availalbe for creating an installation file for an Access MDE file and including the Access Runtime?
Is there anyone based in or near Nottinghamshire (UK) who would be interested in reviewing the current database system we use at our office? We are a skiing holiday company and the database is fairly complex.
It was created about ten years ago and over time has had various bits and pieces added on etc. and I am under the impression it is currently a mess!
I am looking for a professional database developer, not an amateur who fancies themselves as such! If anyone can help, please post your details and credentials and I'll give you a shout.
Hi, I have installed Access Developer Extensions and Access Runtime but still I can not see the "developer" option in menu. Can someone please help me to find this option.
I hope I am in the right forum area. I have just upgraded to XP Home and have a choice of Office systems to install. However I have Office 97 Developer Edition that I use for Access Databases and this must be installed. I can also install either Office 2000 or Office XP Professional. What are the problems with having any of these combinations and Access 97 with the developer.
I have heard that there may be licencing issues or I may have to install in a particular order. Any advice would be appreciated.
I need some good books for Access developers.. I want to what Access really can do.. I know create tables and queries.. How about create stored procedures and triggers using VBA in Access? Or any other more complex tasks in Access. I want to know more about this.

I have purchase many bussiness applications over the last 5 years, and fount that over software are to rigid, as I need something very specifil to my bussness. If you intend to reply, please be very specific & in plain English.

Here is something I wonder if it has already existed or been asked before, a program or an add-in feature that can compile an Access database (including forms, reports, tables...) to a stand-alone .exe application, just like Visual Basic does. The reason why I think it's doable is because in Access, we use VB codes anyway and it wouldn't need to be rocket-science for Access to do something like that or this would be an improvement for future versions.
There are plenty of advantages of going from an Access form to a stand-alone app, i.e. we wouldn't need codes to hide background and menu or status bar; we wouldn't need to disable mouse-scroll or prevent users to go back and accidentally delete past records; or we wouldn't need to worry about users seeing your terrific coding techniques and on and on.....Agree that all these can be done within Access but imagine how much time it'd save you from not doing all these things.
I'M NEW TO DATABASE PROGRAMMING AND HAVE LIMITED PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE. SIMPLE EXPLANATIONS AND TERMINOLOGY ONLY PLEASE
I've been tasked with producing two database systems at work.
1) A job ledger (currently excel) 2) A stock condition survey database
Question
For future proofing:
* what coding should I be investigating (I expected to use Visual Basic, I understand this has now given way to Visual.NET?) * Should be upgrading to Access 2007? * Where the best place for sample databases of this kind? * What's an SLQ system? Should I be using this instead?
hi... i have a form that display things in a table in access. when program the form to delete a query it deletes it but does not do rs.movenext what i want to do is the form to display the next set of data from the database. i am using dao.... please help me!!
I forked out nearly £600 for Visual Studio.NET Professional Special Edtion, which was advertised as coming with the Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Office. Which it did. I checked the Microsoft site and they advertised the VSTO as coming with the Access Developer Extensions, so I went ahead with the purchase.
Now I've since found out that the Access Developer Extensions are yet again separate from all this, so I will have to spend more money. That annoys me but I can live with it (I've no choice really), but where can I purchase the Access Developer Extensions CD? I have scoured the web and haven't found a single source, but apparently it does exist. As an additional note, I am based in the UK.
