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.
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
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 needs some advice on how to proceed. Our company is devolving some operations to a sub office for 3 out of 11 business units. we have a central DB that we use to record monthly events the problem is that the parent group has to be able to update records for all units but the sub office is only allowed to see and edit their records
At the moment the data is all stored in one table and we use a Front end back end with local front ends for access I have a table to say if a unit is part of the sub office or not and in the sub office front end i have a Query which links the 2 tables together and filters the records to show only sub office
SELECT tbldatatable.*, tblShipName.Manager FROM tblShipName RIGHT JOIN tbldatatable ON tblShipName.ShipName = tbldatatable.Ship WHERE (((tblShipName.Manager)="nv")); the remainder of the forms and querys all run from this query rather than the tables
the problem is the join makes it a non updatable record set
what is the advice on how to achieve what i need as i cant see a simple way to proceed thanks ND

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.
If I design an .ADP project in 2007, will users be able to use this if they only have Office 2003? ...or is there a way of making an exe file with Access projects?
Ever since my company upgraded everyone to Office 2003 I have the following issues:
When I click the checkbox that automatically send an email I get the following Pop-up.
"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?
If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No". Then you click either yes or no.
After you click yes you then get the next Pop-up which basically says the same thing and you have to click yes again and it finally take you into outlook so the email will go.
Is there anything to get rid of this nuisance? We did not have to do this with Office 2000. I have lowered the security to as low as it will go and still this keeps happening.
I had a Label in the form that when i started design the Form, I supposed that will be permanent. After few records, users needed to change the Text on that Label depending the customer they reffer to. Therefore i attached a Microsoft Word Document OLE Unbound Object to give permission to users to change the text when they need it. But if u change the text in one record then will change to all of the other records. Can u give any idea how i will manage to have a default label for all the records and users when they need to change the Text only for a particular record. Is this possible? Or I need to declare it as a Field on a Table therefore can be saved in every record? Please any idea... Thank you
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 must say when I read stuff about access which is all in vb I get to thinking that I can`t call myself a database guy.
I create a lot of databases for my company which allow people to gain sales history data for customers, enter and view visits to agencies, enter data for phone calls, process product returns, access and display requested data from the main sql server, suffice to say there isn`t a department in the company which doesn`t use one of my databases.
However I have to admit that there is almost no vb code in these databases even though I`ve attended a vb course (I have forgotten all of it as I`ve not used it). It`s all done with queries and macros.
I like to think that these databases work well and fairly quickly. I find it fairly quick to work with queries and macros.
So what do people think is the big advantage of code? Am I just a lazy chuffer who should go hang my head in shame :o
I was wondering if there's an easier way to getting the "developer's extensions" so I can deploy my program as a PROGRAM rather than an .mdb file. I don't really feel like shelling out $600 for a "subscription" to MSDN. Or maybe there's an easier way to deploy the program than using developer's extensions? I'm using 2003. Thanks!
I´m thinking of starting to use office XP for a small system I have. My question is:
Is office XP more compatible with internet explorer in terms of VBA automating? I have had to work around internet explorer quite a lot in office 97, and I haven´t been able to do what I want.
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...
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 produce a report from a query. One of the fields combines in a calculated field based on numerous other fields, a sentence that may be up to five printed lines of text. While it views correctly in the Report's Preview screen, it is less than perfect when I send it to a Word 2002 document using the Office Links/Publish with Word tool. Despite producing the same font face and size and having the same left/right margins, it truncates unpredictably and inserts a hard-return. It will take a five-row report field and produce a five-row Rich Text Format field...but often with a few lost words at the end of the final row. Some rows have an inch of unused space at the end of them in the RTF file...wasted space. Any suggestions as to cause?
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?
