There is probably an easy answer to this but I can't find an exact answer searching.
I have an Access 2000 database with the back end stored in a separate location. If I want to move the back end data file to a different location on the computer, how do I change the link (file path)?
The only way I can figure out is to delete all of the old links and relink them from their new location.
Isn't there somewhere that you can just change the path name to the entire back end in one easy step?
I am new to Microsoft access. I have a database moved from another computer. it is split into the backend and the front end..
However, when i click on the forms in the front end, I get an error message. It is trying to use a path from the old computer, to the database, but its on a different computer.
So, this brings me to my question, how do i change the path, to the new location
Objective?: I'm attempting to change the file location of the back end portion of my split database.
What I've done so far: I've used the linked table manager to update the back end location of all tables in the front end portion of the database.
Symptoms: When making a change to the OLD back end: If I change the name or move the old back end and then try to re-open the front end, Access opens as if I'm opening the application itself without any database associated with it until I restore the OLD back end to its appropriate state.
When making a change to the NEW back end: If I change the name or move the new Back end and then try to re-open the front end, I get a: "Could not find file" error message until I restore the new back end to it's appropriate state.
I've just discovered a query that I think put me one step closer to resolving this issue. [URL] .....
When I run this query:
Code: SELECT MSysObjects.Database FROM MSysObjects GROUP BY MSysObjects.Database, MSysObjects.Type HAVING (((MSysObjects.Type) In (4,6)));
It returns 2 results: 1. The path of my old back end 2. The path of my new back end.
Unfortunately I'm not able to update the values from the Datasheet, but this does confirm to me that the old back end is still some how being used by the front end even after my tables have all been updated.
I created my database a few months ago and split the database into a front and back end. I recently added a new table on the front end. How can I move this table to the back end and re-link it?
So the database I have right now is split, with the back end on our server. Everything has been going great, however there are several second time delays when loading large forms, queries, etc. I've heard that moving the back end to an sql server is the way to go for speed.All forms and queries are on front end of database. Tables are located on the back end which is sitting on the server.
When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.
I have 50 locations spread over the UK and each site has a red, amber or green status based on several criteria. What i want to do is have a form with a map of the UK and have each location represented on the map with it's red, amber or green status based on coordinates in the country i guess.
I have been working on an Inventory Database over the past few weeks and I have run into a problem.
Currently I am designing the database to use the common way to calculate on-hand inventory levels (Latest Stocktake(cycle count) + Received - Used). The problem comes when I am trying to calculate this value.
A solution that seems to work is to take stocktake for a given product using the ProductID and date. I have a child table linked to this one to show the quantity and locations of the product. However, with this method, I will have to count the inventory for every location the product is in when the stocktake is taken. This method may work, but accidents may happen and an employee may forget to count both locations when taking stock. Then current inventory levels will be way off.
Is there an easier or more efficient way to do this?
Okay trying to get at an mdb that I have copied from the live network drive onto my own machine. Each time I try and look at a table in design or data mode it keeps trying to locate the table on the network drive.
How do I tell access to look at the copy on local drive? Using version 2003, and don't remember this issue from version 97.
I have been trying to get an image to open from its location.... but it keeps trying to open "C:C:example.bmp" instead of "C:example.bmp" does anyone know how to take out the first directory location tag automatically?
Preface: Main table called tblMain. Here are three of the fields that I am interested in setting this up for.
tblMain Field 1: [IncidentDate] Field 2: [Address] (actually street numbers) Field 3: [CityStreet] (actually street name via lookup field off another table)
Query based of the above tables.
What I want to query is this:
If location has an entry on July 4th, 2006 then it counts it, if the same location has has another entry it counts it. If it only has a incident on July 4th, 2006 an no other prior incidents do not display it... Does this make sense.
So it would look something like this in a report generated off of the query.
07/04/06 123 Main St 07/03/06 123 Main St 05/05/06 123 Main St
07/04/06 125 South St 07/02/06 125 South St 06/22/06 125 South St
I have a table with persons age and location and I want to generate a report of all persons by location and age group. The age groups are 0-9, 10 - 19, 20 - 29..., 90-99. The location codes are 10,20,30,...90,99.
I use the Active X calendar control 10.0 in a number of forms*. The mscal.ocx file is in c:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice 10.
(*In the calendar's Properties it says it is "MSCAL.Calendar.7", which I think is just MS's way of confusing people.)
After splitting the deploying my app, it appears lots of my users either don't have version 10.0 or it is stored someplace else; for example, in C:WindowsSystem32. Because they don't have the correct version/path, everything crashes.
So, how can I easily determine whether users have the right ActiveX in the correct location?
The Microsoft web site says "To distribute your component as part of a Visual Basic application, you can use Package and Deployment Wizard". I don't have that wizard in my version of Access (2002 SP3 on Windows XP), so that's not an option.
Microsoft also says to "To enter the base address for your component, open the Project Properties dialog box and select the Compile tab. The address is entered in the DLL Base Address box, as an unsigned decimal or hexadecimal integer. The default value is &H11000000 (285,212,672). If you neglect to change this value, your component will conflict with every other in-process component compiled using the default. Staying well away from this address is recommended." It seems to make sense that I put the mscal.ocx in the database's directory on the server to serve as the "base address", but other than that this option scares the heck out of me.
Does someone have any suggestions how to easily ensure users have the right ActiveX version on their computer - and in the correct location? (I'm not a super-coder.)
I have a text box that allows users to type a letter to a customer with a listbox next to it. The listbox is filled with data such as the customer's name, address, etc.... When the user double clicks an item from the list box, it should insert the appropriate data into the text box.
The problem is, is there a way to determine the current cursor location in the textbox so I know where to add the data?
For example, the cursor location has been determined before the text box lost the focus and now i am inserting the apporpriate data:

I use Access 2013, and have an Access Database in which one of my Tables is linked to a SharePoint site (SharePoint 2010). The database is in my computer, but I will be required to shift it into another computer onto a network drive. I want to know if doing this will affect the table's link or data exchange between the table and its linked list on SharePoint
During a system upgrade, our database was migrated to a new server. How do I change Access 2007 to link to the new location instead of defaulting to the old location?
I have a list of locations in a sub form where a chart has been and the last record is it's current location. I'm generating a building report which should show a list of charts on that building, but it also shows it on old locations. So in the example, it shows for building 43 and building 83. I just need it to show on 83, how to accomplish this.

I have a FE database with all the forms, reports, etc. and my BE DB with all the tables is in the same directory as the FE. My problem is when users are not in the office and opens the FE data base they get an error that the path to the linked tables are not available.
My question: Is there a way to make these FE links to the BE dynamic. I really don't want various FE with paths linked to the BE.
I have 1 table with multi Text columns (location, coaches,ssn etc), and multiple Num columns (pts and product counts)
I need to sum all the unit counts & points for each person, but only bring back the location for each person that had the 'max' sales (pts).
ex. ssn xxxxxx has 3 sales codes : code 1&2 had less sales aquired then sales code 3. Sales code 1 was location Vt, slsCd 2 was location CA and slscd 3 was location FL. I need to bring back the sum of all three codes but only the location FL as it had the most sales pointing to it. I have deadline of Monday to get this done.PLEASE help
I have a form with a sub form (ms access). On the subform are a number of textboxes for input by the user. What I need is for the sub form to "remember" the last textbox it was in when the form closes. Then, when the form opens again, the focus in the sub form "returns" to the last text box it was at when the user wants to continue entering data.... This resolves a problem with the user overwriting existing data on the subform because they "forgot" to go to the textbox where further data needs to be entered. I set up an "extra" field in the database, and included it on the sub form so it could be used as areference point. The text box is called "NameFld". However, my further attempts at resolving this issue via vba are not working. Any help would be appreciated.
