Need Help With Packaging Wizard
Jul 31, 2005
I am at the point were I want to package and distribute my application to other users. My application uses several .bmp files and other resources that I have stored in the OFFICE11 file because you have to reference the location of the objects in VBA Code where access can find it.
What I cant figure out is, how do I get the package wizard to install the resource files I include with my program to where I want them (OFFICE11) so if the user installs the database at a different location than the default location which is C:Program FilesApplicationNameI'mDistributing, the program will still run because the resource files can still be found by the program in the OFFICE11 file.
Make Sense?
A more advanced problem I am experiencing:
Is there a way to have a run time distributed application automatically find and repair it's link to the back end if the back end gets installed to a network instead of the default Local C: path?
Anyone?

Well,having a few problems. Can't find any post, maybe the problem is too new. I was experimenting with the "Developers Extensions" in my 2007
First, is it required to be an "accdb" format?
Second, I was trying to package a split DB... putting the backend in the "add" files. Seemed to crash everytime I tried to start it after installing. Is it not possible to package a split DB?
If it is... I would really like it to ask where to install the extra files.... eg...backend.
I don't know ho to approach this......... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

When using the runtime version, there is an issue with trusted locations. The only way around this, it seems is to edit (add) the registry key,My research tells me the key to be added is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0A ccessSecurityTrusted Locations]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0A ccessSecurityTrusted LocationsLocation(n)]
"Path"="C:PathToDB"
"AllowSubfolders"=dword:00000001(1)
"Description"="The description"
"Date"="01.01.2007 12:00"
If I use the Packing Wizard with Access 2007 to prepare an installation disk, there is the option for Additional Registry Keys, which looks promising, however, I am unsure how to proceed. You are asked: Root, Key, Name and Value. There are 4 options for Root: Default root, Current user, All users, Classes root.

I am using the Packaging Wizard of the MS Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I would like to change the Root Installation folder to a customer Folder. However, I am limited to the list given (Program Files, Documents & Settings, etc..). I even tried to see if I could change the INI files produced by the package, but could not find any reference to the root installation folder. Does anyone know how to change this, either through the wizard or manually.
I know I can have the user move the folder once the install is complete, but I do not with to do this.

I have a table that shows all the company's PC's, and another table that shows all the software. I have a smart look up for a the PC's that when you click on it, it will show you all the software loaded to that machine. however, there is so much software loaded to these machines that when the look-up is clicked you can not read all of the software because it is listed horizontally. Is there any way that you can have the look-up view vertically. Any other ideas would be much appreciated.

Ok, I have Acc2k3 professional with Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System which according to MS includes the Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/office/officetools.aspx) that are required to package an MDE/ADE file using Acc2k3.
The question is how do I run it? I cannot find anything to do with packaging or deploying an Access file anywhere, not only in Access but ot the system and on the Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System cd.
I should point out that my PC has VB.NET 2003, Office 2003 (prof) and Office 2000 (prof - Access only) installed on XP SP2 (I believe that all relevant SPs and critical updates have been applied). I have tried upgrading my project from Acc2k to Acc2k3 and all to no avail.
TIA
Marcus.

Hi
I hope someone can help on here with this.
I am having problems using the package wizard. I can run through the first couple of steps on the package wizard, but when it asks for a language to cache, it fails to install the necessary files.
I have found the resolution on the MS KB site about copying the files to the HDD, and the renaming the exe file to SETUP.EXE, but whenever I select this file to cache, I get the following message:-
'C:SourceSETUP.EXE' could not be copied to 'C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataMicrosoftAccessADE11Cache1033SETUP.EXE'.
Verify that the source file exists, that you have write permissions on the destination folder. etc
I don't think it is permissions, as it does copy the msi and cab file to that particular folder, it's just the SETUP.EXE file that it doesn't copy over.
Has anyone ever experienced this before when using the Package Wizard?
Thanks

HI, I am using Access 2003
I tried using the security wizard and I think I, I know I should have read up rather that trying to set it up. I printed the security report so I can get back in to the db but now all db's on this pc require me to log in now. How do I remove this security? Can I just delete the security db that was created by the wizard?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
I want to manipulate a few tables and make them into one table, but I don't want all of their fields. I heard that I could do it with "map table wizard" from the top of the menu. Where can I find it? Or, can anyone recommend me what I should do better?
I use Office 2002.
Thanx.

I have three fields that I would like to have access the same table using the Lookup Wizard. I am unable to get the query to work.
Example:
The Fruit table has 5 records, let's say: orange, apple, banana, kiwi, strawberry.
The first field -- Fruit1 -- would use the Data Type Lookup Wizard referencing the Fruit table.
The second field -- Fruit2 -- would also use the Data Type Lookup Wizard referencing the Fruit table.
The third field -- Fruit3 -- would also use the Data Type Lookup Wizard referencing the Fruit table.
The bottom line: a person will have a choice of 3 fruits.
Again, the problem is that I cannot get the query to work where I choose =banana for the criteria for all three fields. Banana might be person one's first choice, but it might be person two's second choice, etc. I'm looking for all the bananas no matter which choice it is.
Your assistance is appreciated.

Hello,
I have just started on Access: creating 2 tables with primary keys and one-to-many relationships, and 2 simple queries. I want to create a form but can never complete the wizard or auto-form or else because it crashes with the pop-up message "object variable or with block variable not set" ? what does this mean?
thanks for your help.

I've been building a database with Access. When I added a combo box to a form, it used to pop up a wizard which would guide me through selecting the data the box displayed and what happened to the selection the user made.
It has now stopped displaying this wizard.
How can I turn it back on?

Howdy All!!! I am receiving the below error message:
"You have chosen fields from record sources which the wizzard can't connect. You may have chosen fields from a table and a form a query based on that table. If so, try choosing fields from onluy the table or only the querry."
OK here is what is going on... I have a table that is linked to a *.txt file. This *.txt file comes from our AS400 and is the root of all my information. It has 2 pieces of information in it that I need to seperate out and then eventually join back together. It is a space delimited file. The 2 pieces of information are:
1) Header (Dates, Vessell, and Container information)
2) Body (Product information and qty of each Container)
The mapping looks like this:
Header='ISPDD'
1- A Record Name = mid(1,5) [Ref. Example:ISPDD]
2- Unique Key = mid(6,7) [Ref. Example:0000001]
3- Container Number = mid(13,10) [Ref. Example:MK03000001]
4-Arrival Date = mid(23,8) [Ref. Example:06092004]
Body='ISPDT'
1- A Record Name = mid(1,5) [Ref. Example:ISPDT]
2- Unique Key = mid(6,7) [Ref. Example:0000001]
3- A item code = mid(13,6) [Ref. Example:007529]
4- A item color = mid(19,3) [Ref. Example:015]
5- Item Qty = mid(22,6) [Ref. Example:111111]
What I did is wrote 2 query's. One that looked at the *.txt file and produced results on [Like "ISPDD*"] to give me just the HEADER information. I then added the criteria from the space delimited mapping above. I did the same to pull out just the BODY information, again adding the criteria to the query from the space delimited mapping above.
Now that I have the two pieces of information, I want to run a report and combind the 2 together in a more reader friendly format. In doing so I received the error message above.
I then tried having the query's create a new table after they run (one Header Table and one Body Table). Once that completed I created a relationship between the 'UniqueKey Header' and 'UniqueKey Body'. This actually worked but, when I receive a new *.txt file and run the query it gives me read only/cannot delete files because of relationships. Needless to say I am in a bind. Hopefully I shared enough detail to help me with my problem. Many thanks in advance for the help. One other piece of info, This *.txt file can contain many headers and boddy information. I have received one that had at least 10 different Unique keys that had to be linked together.
Best Regards
Mike

I will try and explain this as simply as possible.
I have a lookup table that is purely dates so the field is Clinic_Date, the format is date/time, and the input mask is set to short date.
I have a table called appointments. I have a field called appt_date which I am trying to make a look-up field by using the wizard to look up from the clinic_date table. However I an getting the error message "You have entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property l." (thought it doesn't look like the letter "l" but more like a long vertical line).
What on earth could be going on?

Ok......
It's much as I thought it would be. MS Access is limited for a mid size database application. I have developed this mid size database for the medical clinic I work for. I didn't want to do it, but they saw some of my personal projects I created and pretty much told me to come up with something.
Well, the good news is, the database itself works exactly as designed, meaning it does its job very well. The bad news, and I knew it would happen, is instability. When I first started creating this program, I had no idea how many people would be using it at once. That, and after reading through these forums for the last few months, I realized that Access wasn't the puppy to be creating this database in. As it stands, about 130 - 150 systems access the database (about 3 times more than I originally forcasted.)
I'm sure those of you who have done something similar knows the next thing I'm about to say...... yep..... mysterious run-time errors - locked database from time to time - owc (office web component) errors...... etc. etc. These errors pretty much happen during peak hours.
I am pretty positive it's because access wasn't designed to handle such a load..... which led me to a researching a resolution. The answer that may be my savior is the upsizing wizard included with ms access. We do have MS SQL server running on a server...... I was just curious if anybody's ever used the upsizing wizard; either that, or has anyone ported an access project to sql. (This is a big program, and would hate to have to reprogram)

I am having a problem when trying to use the Form Wizard.
I select a table or query, but it shows no fields! Here is a screenshot:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v85/retroap/access.jpg
I am running Office 2003 with the latest updates on XP Professional SP2, again with the latest updates. The install was fresh only about a week ago, and I had only used this install of Access for a few hours before it started doing it!
I have tried creating a totally new database, or using an existing database, and the same happens. This led me to believe it was my Office install. I tried doing a repair through add/remove programs, which successfully repaired Office apparently, yet the problem persists. I even totally removed Office, rebooted, and reinstalled, and tried without updates!
Can anyone suggest what I could try next?

Hi everyone,
I have made a form using the wizard, the form is based on some tables. Now I have to add one new table to the form, how can I do this? If I change the recordsource, it wouldn't work, I can't even write anything in the form.
Is it possible to add a new table or query to a form that is made with the wizard? Or have I to made the whole form again??
Thanks,
Ankie

I have Access 2003 and the Developer Extensions which allow me to package solutions and distribute them with the toll-free run-time set.
When I run my applications on the development PC with the "/runtime" switch the applications work fine but when they are installed on a PC without Access 2003 they install but refuse to default values into forms when new records are created. Since any "child" records need to contain the key of the relevant "parent" record for the database to have any relational structure at all this makes the applications useless. I've searched Microsoft sites until I'm blue in the face and I've asked my support company but I'm not getting any answers. Anybody got any ideas?

Hi,
When you use the wizard to create a form and a subform in A2003, the wizard automatically creates a query for the subform; however, the wizard doesn't seem to create a query for the parent form.
My question is:
Is the parent form pulling data directly from table?
Regards,
B
