My database was working fine until I split the database and now I'm having issues with this function:
Code:
Public Function OpenFirstAttachmentAsTempFile(ByRef rstCurrent As DAO.Recordset, ByVal strFieldName As String) As String
Dim rstChild As DAO.Recordset2
Dim fldAttach As DAO.Field2
Dim strFilePath As String
Dim strTempDir As String
[Code] ....
It's getting stuck on the "strFilePath = strTempDir & rstChild.Fields("FileName").Value" line. The debugger says that there is no reord. The strTempDir is correct. I am assuming that the issue has to with linking to the database.
I have an application where I have to read a big VCF file in VBA, extract the information and place it into records of a table. Of course I can read as a text file, but the structure is quite cumbersome to implement with many fields missing in different records and it is not a one time job.
I have a split database with the back end on a sharedrive. I have the front end saved on my own drive and the same for my colleague.
When I view the front end version of my colleagues, I can see a records on there that she has input but I can't see them when I open my own copy of the front end plus when I view the back end I can't see the records there at all.
I have split the database, with the back-end residing on the server. Only 1 other person is working in Access right now; she's verifying the data. Today she's working directly in the back-end, could this be the problem. If it is, I'm going to have to create a front-end for her quickly.
My problem is this...I'm working on queries and forms so that the scientists who will ultimately be using this application, won't be able to go in and inadvertently change something in the tables set-up. When I'm in the back-end main data table, it says I have 2723 records.
When I create a front-end query to query all the records in that table, it says I have 2160 records.
The input form that I created with most of the same fields as the query (created BEFORE I created the query...I'll have it pull from the query now instead of directly from the table) also says we only have 2160 records.
I am using Access 2010 in a split database. The intent is to place the back end and associated linked files on a server and the front end on work stations for each user. The typical user will just be searching for information in the database not altering it. My current code re-links the tables once the path is known i.e. I have to hard code it into the global constant. Is there a way in VBA or utilizing VBA to read/write to an ini file (for example) that the UNC path would automatically be updated to a global constant in my current code that can be updated automatically based on where the back end is installed.
Global Const BE_DATABASE = "192.168.2.3FMCENFMCTABLES.accdb" Global Const BE_PASSWORD = "***********" Global Const BE_DATABASEPATH = "192.168.2.3FMC" 'used to open files Public Sub CreateDatabaseLinks() On Error Resume Next 'new Dim ws As DAO.Workspace Dim db As DAO.Database Dim td As DAO.TableDef
I've got a database in Access 2007 that keeps track of client data for work. It's been working fine for about a month, and suddenly today other users can't change any information because the records are suddenly locked when accessed from their accounts.
I've already checked that they can't update forms, tables, nothing.
I've checked the database properties, it defaults to shared with no locks.
I've checked the properties of my forms - no locks.
I've double checked the permissions to the folder that the database is in - no restrictions.
I have an Access 2010 database that I have split. In the database I have a couple tables, forms and two reports. I have entered some data into one of the tables, but when I go to edit the data in the form the next time, there is no data (though I have verified that there is data in the table). Also, there are two reports that can pull the data without any problem.
We have a database that is split. Every user has their own front end (installed via a .bat file so that the users always have a local copy of the most recent version), linked to a shared back end on a server. This seems stable and functional for us so far.
However, because our users are geographically separated, I don't actually know how many folks are using the database. I know the folks who contact me, but everyone in our company could use it if they wanted to.
For requesting funding, guiding future development, etc., I need to get some metrics:
Total number of unique users Avg uses per day
Total number of simultaneous users (daily, weekly, and monthly maxes and mins)
What is the best way to get this info? Write user info and a timestamp to a table each time a front end is launched? Are there tools for monitoring this sort of information?
I have a split Database into Back-End and Front-End. I want to hide the Access Customize Option in my Front-End. I have tried to make the Database ACCDE but the option still appears to Customize the Access Database.
I also want to know why is it that when i make a Database ACCDE - some of the codes are not working properly???
I have a split db with tables in the back end and my forms, reports, code etc. in the front end.
I encrypted the back end with a password. That worked fine.
I deleted and relinked my tables to the encrypted back end. That worked fine as well.
I have a function that will disable the shift key bypass. If I run that in my front end db then I can't save it as an accde because I can't get to the HOME screen. If I save it as an accde first then I can't run my 'disable shift key bypass' function because I can't get to the modules!
How can I secure a split Access 2010 database so that the user cannot execute shift bypass on the front end or make any changes to the code?
I have a split db in use by about 20 people. Ocasionally a user opens a record that is already opened by some other user and if changes are made then he gets error 7878; "the data has changed error"
Is it possible to find out which records are actually being used/open/edited in a split db? All tables are related to the main key (CallID on table Contacts).
If it was possible to find out, I could have a label show up in the db record search form telling the user not to open that record.
I have a client that is using a split database. I am working on an update to the program and need to transfer a table to the backend that has the correct structure and information included in it. My thoughts are to make a one time use program that transfers the table to the backend. I have seen DoCmd.TransferDatabase and DoCmd.CopyObject as possible ways to go.
I have designed a database which I intend to split for multi-users to access from one front end icon on a shared folder at work. I have designed a form bound to cmr record table and on it a subform to another table where cmrs activities will be saved. The form has buttons to and blank controls.
User can create a new activity entry by typing into the blank controls and pressing the save button which saves to the activity table. the edit button extracts a selected records details (selected on the subform) from the activity table and populates the blank field for a user to edit and then hit save to save changes. The delete button deletes a selected record from the activity table. I intend to have multi-users either accessing, viewing and a possibly editing the same customer at the same time. The simultaneous viewing is essential but the simultaneous editing, though not desired is inevitably going to occur.
What I would like to know is:
1. Can you lock an individual record in a table or does the whole table have to be locked. E.g If Colleague 1 is editing Cmr A's record in Table1 can he lock it so Colleague 2 can view and edit Cmr B's record in Table1
2.Can Colleague 1 access/read Cmr A's record in Table1 to retrieve details toe the form controls if Colleague 2 is viewing or editing Cmr A's record in Table1
3. If record lock is possible, how can I initiate it in my example code below.Edit activity record Code
Code: Private Sub Edit_A_Click() 'Get Data to text box control With Me.R_P_Data_P_Subfrm.Form Me.txtrID = !rID Me.txtrID.Tag = !rID Me.txtrefNo = !refNo Me.cmbrpc = !rPC
I have created an Access database that stores a significant amount of information about our products. I have an excel spreadsheet that performs calculations on that data. I have used the import data from Access tool in Excel to import the data. The problem I have is when the excel spreadsheet is open no one can modify my Access database.
Is there a way to have Excel open and still be able to work on the database in Access? When the user on Excel needs updated information they can just hit the "refresh" button and everything up to that point that has been done in Access will update. I do not want Excel to be able to manipulate or change any values in my Access database.
I have a command button on a Access 2010 form that i am using as my switchboard. On this form i have a hidden unbound text box that captures the users environ"username". When the user hits a command button on the form the code looks at the name in the hidden textbox that captures the environ"username" and then DLooks up a table to see if there is a match. If yes then it will open the next form and if not then a message box appears.
Code: Private Sub Command6_Click() Dim TxtUsername As String If Me.TxtUsername = DLookup("[OneLondon Login]", "TblAccessUsers") Then DoCmd.OpenForm "Bakerloo_Main_Form" Exit Sub Else MsgBox "You do not have permission to access this database" End If End Sub
This works fine apart from the fact it will only read the first name entered in the table. This table(TblAccessUsers) could have up to 50 names in it and possibly have names removed and re added at a later date. Is there a way i can get the code to look up every name in the table ??
I am new to Access and this is likely a very elementary question. I recently created a database to track status of projects including progress and funding. The table contains several fields that record various aspects of funding. These fields are added (very simply) and create a calculated field that is a summation of those fields. The table currently contains approx 60 records. The calculated field functions for 2 or 3 records and will not calculate further. I have tried this in a form as well as a query. The form will change the same number, 2 or 3 records. When the query is run the result shows only the 2 or 3 records. What I am doing that is only reading and modifying those records?
I am trying to read the value of a control on an open form from a Public Function in a Module with no luck. I suspect the issue is syntax.
Code:
Public Function MyFunction(varFormName As String, varControlName As String) If Forms(varFormName).Controls(varControlName) = True Then ' = 0 even when control is -1 Else End If End Function
The variables pass through fine but the If statement equals zero regardless of the state of the form's control. I tried several variations to no avail.
If Forms(varFormName).Form.Controls(varContactControl ) = True Then If Forms(varFormName)!Form.Controls(varContactControl ) = True Then Etc.
In a situation where I imported an excel file with so many columns and split them into two temp tables and they are linked using a key.
the data has a fixed part lets say
Field1....Field2.....Filed3.....Field4...then Field5.....Field6.....Field7....Field8 is the same data range as Field9...Field10...Field11...Field12. I would want to split this data into multiple rows like this
Field 1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field5 Field6 Field7 Field8 Field 1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field9 field10 field11 field12 and so own...
I want to create a table of all fields in a form, their datatype and their controlsource.
I have done the first 2 parts easily enough using the forms.formname.controls.name property and TypeName(forms.formname.controls)
But I am unable to pragmatically read the controlSource. EG forms.formname.controls.txtname.controlsource works
but when In a for loop
I cannot use the name of the control to return the control source.
Code: Sub PopTab Set frm = forms.FrmCases for each CTl in frm.controls MyName = ctl.name MyType = TypeName(ctl) MySource = ctl.name.controlsource end if next ctl end sub
I have always had solid read access to the Windows registry running on Windows XP with Access 2007. I am utilizing code from here in a separate VBA Module to obtain access to the Windows registry:
"Change registry settings in VBA"
[URL]
On Windows 7 x64 / Access 2010 x86, I am seeing a 0 value in lngKeyHandle. Also, m_lngRetVal has a value of 2 after the RegOpenKey LOC.
Code: ' -------------------------------------------------------------- ' Query the key path ' -------------------------------------------------------------- m_lngRetVal = RegOpenKey(lngRootKey, strRegKeyPath, lngKeyHandle) ' -------------------------------------------------------------- ' If no key handle was found then there is no key. Leave here. ' -------------------------------------------------------------- If lngKeyHandle = 0 Then regQuery_A_Key = vbNullString m_lngRetVal = RegCloseKey(lngKeyHandle) ' always close the handle Exit Function End If
I have verified that I have the key successfully in the registry... installed via the .reg file that works on Windows XP / Access 2007 systems.
I am trying to use a Connection to an xlsx spredsheet to read in a table of information (the data is not a table, just laid out in a table, see attached, the one I am trying to load is xlsx not xls but I cannot for some reson upload the xlsx one on here)
I have the following declared:
Code: Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'table$'. make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.....
I did a Debug.print to check the strConnectionString was correct and the Source is exactly correct and refers to the name of the file I am trying to access exactly.
I have table1 in my (Access 2010) database that has exising records. I have another table2 that after I run a query, it first deletes the data in table 2, then imports new records into that table. I run the import into table 2 on a semi regular basis but have yet to copy those records into table 1.
With that said, using either a query or VB, how do I copy all the (new) records from table 2 into table 1 without altering any records that already exist in table1?
BTW, Table 1 has a main form with a subform within it
