I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard. But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007. I can't use the Package Wizard.
Our Access database is multiple user. The front end is on the local drive and the data file is on our main server. Our database has numerous queries, forms and reports accessed by command buttons or directly. Various queries are set to merge with Word documents.
What are major or annoying problems that have been encountered by converting. Our database is contains our membership information and is crucial to our operation. Detailing problems/solutions if possible would be extremely helpful. Asking for allot but very concerned about conversion. Thanks for any input.
I am running Access 2000 on the network. Recently I upgraded one of the users to Access 2007. All is well, except she cannot get into one of the databases when other "2000" users are in it. When she was using Access 2000 this wasn't an issue. Is there a way around this?
I have created a database in Access 2007 that now works well, and one that I'm quite proud off. However, I can easily convert it to an Access 2000 format as can anyone else here, but when I load it up there is a major problem.
I have used the tab control in my main form and that has three tabs on it. However, it's positioned correctly in Access 2007 it's not positioned correctly in Access 2000 as I have to move the tab control down a bit, but that would seem fine. So I lowered the tab control form and changed my form layout slightly, but even then the tab control over all over the Access 2000 form whenever I interact with the tabs - most bizzare.
Not sure if this has been posted yet. Microsoft has released beta of Office 2007, this includes a new UI to many of the old office programs. For the time being you can get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/beta/getthebeta.mspx
Beta 2 of Internet Explorer 7 has also been released: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx
And I know I've posted on this before, but just so it is in the same place, Visual Studio 2005 can be downloaded here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/trial/
There are also many business-oriented programs in beta for testing. If you own a small business, or think your company may have a need ~ test it out, get a feel, for free.
I just found out something that was pretty cool about Office 2007, specifically Access 2007 and Outlook 2007. Working with them together, you can create an email form to gather data for Access and when the email is returned, all filled out, Outlook will export the data into your specified Access table.
I just played with it a little and it appears to have some issues when dealing with multiple tables, but for a simple data gathering it would seem pretty cool. In fact you can set it up so that it won't automatically process until you want to, or you can have it process right when the email comes in.
Just wondering what the consensus is on MS Office 2007 package. I find it tasty and is quit different from the past versions. That being said, I am relearning the options and finding many new features that weren’t available in the past.
I have a link table to my contacts folder held within the public folders on the exchange server. The link table was created automatically using the wizard and connect fine. When you open it, all fields are showing except for the email type and email address.
I cannot think of any reason why it would not show this. When you look at the table, the fields are actually there they just dont return any records? Even more frustratingly, every so often you can open up the table and they appear only to disappear again the next time!!
I have a trail version of access 2007 at home which I work on and i want to continue working on my database in 2000 at work. how can i convert it because when i try all hell break loose?
I built a ms database and I'm just wondeirng about the compatability of using 2007, what kind of issues can i expect to run into and does this sound like there will be a major overhaul needed in the programing, or should it be pretty straight forward.
Wondering if anyone had tried this yet, and if so, encountered any problems. I have a few existing DB's in the office. Split with backend on server in mdb format. I am now using both 2003 and 2007... BUT.. Now that the runtime is out I would like to make my future updates in 2007. So the question is... Has anyone used a 2007 file format frontend with a 2000 to 2003 file format backend? I understand that the new field properties wouldn't be available in the mdb backend, but besides that, would they still link properly?Thanks
I have a database that currently has security in place so that users input their own usernames and passwords to access the database. The users have recently been added to a windows 2000 server and I want to be able to use their windows 2000 server logon credentials to provide them with automatic access to the database. Is there anyone out there who knows how to set this up? It is a rather urgent request if you could get back to me either on this forum or via email
I am opening and closing a series of Excel 2000 Workbooks using Access 2000 VBA and want this sequence to be able to complete without any human intervention.
However, there are 2 instances when this stops and waits for a human option to be selected:
1. When the spreadsheet is password protected 2. When the spreadsheet has automatic links I get the message:
"The Workbook you opened contains automatic links to information in another workbook. Do you want to update this workbook with changes made to the other workbook?"
How can I code it so that in situation 1 it skips this file and in situation 2 it automatically defaults to do not update?
If I have a report in MS Access 2000 generated based on the criteria selected of a project with work order "9999" with the labor costs, materials costs and the Totals of each crew1, crew2,... and I would like to have those expenditures populated in corresponding cel in Excel for each crew, HOW would I do it?
To think it out loud, could I create a button on a form, so when I select the criteria for the work order, and when I click the button, it should refresh/update the Exel file with the new data...?? How do I write VBA code for that...?
I have recently been doing a conversion for my boss for a access 2000 database (both front and backend) to a MSSQL backend.
I finished the conversion today (as quite a lot of the code / queries ran slow due to access running the queries locally rather than on the server). And tested it on my and my boss's machine with no problems so he gave the go ahead to update everybody to our new mssql 2000 backend with the modified frontend.
This is when the problems started; We had two different sets of forms for accessing one of our databases systems - the log system, one is the original dynaset based form, and the other is a newer set which uses snapshot views and preforms updates via queries. Nobody uses the old dyanset system apart from my boss and one of the administrative team as they have things on that window which they need to see. About 30 minutes into the release of the new database the system frooze up on my bosses computer and nobody could create a new log (the server was timing out). I assumed this had something to do with the old dynaset's creating locks on the table.
I offlined the database and kicked everybody out of the front end, turned it on again and tied again, this time banning everybody from the dynaset system. Within 10 minutes another computer frooze up, again with a timeout on the insert query. I discovered that after you had added a new log to the database it would timeout on all subquent additions (something it hadn't done during testing) . Further investigatiion showed it was the snapshot list window causing the error, so coded the add log window to close the list before preforming the insert query and then reopen it afterwards. This allowed my machine to make multible additions without flaw. So I released a new client to everybody. 15 minutes later it was timing out again, but this time there you could not even make one new record.
I checked for locks on the table though the server management table and couldn't find any for the Log table. I have restarted the SQL server box and with no avil. So I reverted our backend to the access mdb file and told people to use the old client.
I am at a complete lose to why this is happening, if anybody has had any expericences like this or knows the cause please tell me.
Some information on the database in question.
It was made as an access 2 database all intergrated into one file, then it was seperated into two files (frontend and backend). Upgraded to Access 97, then to 2000 before this final update to MSSQL 2000.
The log system has two main tables. The first is the log title / info table which links (one to many) to a log entry table. This problem only occurs on the main log table and does not appear to be reoccurring anywhere else within the database. The main log table has just under 18,000 rows in it.

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.
We just switched to Access 2003 (from 2000) last week, and now none of my reports will open. Everything else works fine, I can open tables, queries, forms, etc., but I can't even open a report in Design mode.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it an Access 2003 quirk or am I doing something wrong? Any ideas on how to fix this would be great. Since all of the other objects work I guess I could just redo the reports--there are only thre of them. I seem to remember something funny happening when I moved from Access 97 to 2000 too...
On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce 2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format. 3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ... 4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help: "ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
At our firm we have a mix of Microsoft Office (2000) Standard licenses and Microsoft Office(2000) Professional liceneses.
After reading through a lot of literature from Microsofts own site it is possible to create Data access pages to enable users to view and have basic inputting into an access back end database.It also states that you need a qualifying License to use microsofts 'web components' to be able to do this.
Now another of our offices has decided to 'check' with microsofts helpdesk about wether or not you need a seperate access license for each user and suprise suprise Microsoft state you do.
Their own site states that Office standard IS a qualifying license see here
Anyone know if i am commitiing an offense or am i just being bullied by microsoft.I have asked them to produce the legislation that states i am doing wrong but they have not yet responded
I am building a database for users to input escalations in. The users that are actually keying the information in, do not have MS office. When they try to access the DAP html file, a message appears at the top of the page that states "The page requires the Microsoft Office Web Components. See the Microsoft Office Web site for more information." Can data access pages be used without office being installed? I have heard that it could also be the users internet explorer security settings.
I have a main form (unbound) and a main form (bound) and then a subform (or a main form;subform;subform).The main form has the following SQL;-
SELECT Detail.*, Hazards.*, HowHarmed.*, Section.* FROM PSR RIGHT JOIN (Hazards INNER JOIN ([Section] INNER JOIN (HowHarmed INNER JOIN Detail ON HowHarmed.ID = Detail.HowHarmedID) ON Section.ID = Detail.[Subject Area]) ON Hazards.ID = Section.detailID) ON PSR.ID = Detail.PSR;
This form appears to work fine. Essentially, there is a control on the unbound form whereby the user selects the section and it populates the respective form with the various 'detail' of the various records.My tables are as follows;-
Risk Assessments Detail Section HowHarmed Hazards PSR PLR Staff
In the subform there are records from Riskassessments, which is the table in the source property of this subform (and not on the main form) with a link to PSR of which is on the mainform. Again, these appear to work if the record is entered via the tables - all the tables appear to be linked correctly from their respective dropdowns (+ sign) but when I go to add a new record in this subform, I get the error "The link masterfields property has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the automation object ID'." When I try to update from this entry the following message is presented;-"The ms Office access database engine cannot find a record in the table 'Detail' with key matching field(s) 'DetailID'.
The SQL for this subform is as follows;-
SELECT Detail.*, PLR.*, RiskAssessments.* FROM (Detail INNER JOIN RiskAssessments ON Detail.ID = RiskAssessments.DetailID) LEFT JOIN PLR ON RiskAssessments.PLR = PLR.ID;
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.
