Hello, I am new here and needed a little help if you wouldn't mind.
I've built an application for a company that I also use for other work I do for them. I have several tables, queries, forms, and a few reports. I have a lot of VBA code behind the scenes. The application is about 6 mbs. When accessing it over the VPN the application runs really, really slow. I need to find a way to increase the speed of the application so that everyone can work in it without the huge delays. Obviously, it runs normally locally.
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.
I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features. Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing! Help! I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?
Currently, I have the following query being run against a table holding what is essentially an access log for a rather elaborate system. I have been doing lookups against the log to determine last changed and created dates/times. The log has grown large enough that the lookups I am doing are taking too much time to perform. Is there any way to get at the data I want faster, barring adding created/modified fields to the individual records in every table, and storing the data there as well?
Here is the current query:
SELECT Min(SecurityLog.Date) as Created, Max(SecurityLog.Date) as Modified FROM SecurityLog, WorkOrderLineItems WHERE (Len(SecurityLog.Param2) <= 4) AND (WorkOrderLineItems.PONumber = '" & PONumber & "') AND CStr(SecurityLog.Param1) = CStr(WorkOrderLineItems.WorkOrderNo) AND CStr(SecurityLog.Param2) = CStr(WorkOrderLineItems.LineNumber);
Param1 and Param2 are Memo fields, Whereas WorkOrderNo and LineNumber are numeirc field, to explain the funny type conversion.
This was good enough for a long time, but as the SecurityLog table is reaching a quarter million entries, it's starting to cause some problems.
Does anyone know if it's possible to make the column heads, column count, column width properties of a list box fit automatically according to the text they hold?
I have a form with a Treeview in. I have it populated from a self-referencing database using the following code.
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() Const strTableQueryName = "SELECT * FROM tblHierarchy ORDER BY tblHierarchy.Function_Parent;" Dim db As DAO.Database, rst As DAO.Recordset Set db = CurrentDb Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strTableQueryName, dbOpenDynaset, dbReadOnly)
[Code] ....
The database this is referencing is about 30000 lines and it takes ~4 minutes to populate this way. I know Treeview isn't really supposed to be used in this way however it's what is required.
Now I have come up with the theory that I will populate each node with children as its clicked to be expanded.
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.
Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.
Background Info: I developed our main department's Access 2003 split database which is on a server for 15+ Users. I've now been given Access 2007 for development -- Users still have 2003. There are also 2 other smaller databases that are not split (.mdb).
Problem: In the split database, I've saved the Application .mdb as 2003, relinked and made a new .mde. But the Users still cannot open the database. (I did this in a copy until I figure out the nuances with 2007.) The 2 other unsplit databases can be saved as 2003 version and Users can open OK.
I'm grateful for any suggestions on working with Access 2007. I've been trying to tackle the ribbon which is a whole other question.
Having a problem here after installing 2007. All my previously created databases work fine in 2007 (after clicking the enable, which is a pain,but don't know any other way) When I return to 2002 and try to open the databases I get different errors all something like this on....... "The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Object or class does not support the set of events. Whats up here?????I have found a site here...http://allenbrowne.com/bug-17.htmlMentions this problem,but refers to Vista..... Does the same apply to XP? And which is the best fix?
I have an Access 2000/2003 database which opens up and displays correctly in Access 2007, but when I go to use the File>Print command, or for that matter any of the other pull down menu's nothing happens?
Has anyone else experienced thisproblem, or does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
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.
I recently heard that Access 2007 ( part of MS Office 2007) can be purchased as a stand alone program. This sort of confirms that : look at pricing breakdown on : http://techrepublic.com.com/5254-6257-0.html?forumID=99&threadID=174062&messageID=1961442&id=3053951
I have downloaded Access 2007 trial, but I don't know how to use some of its features. When I try to open any of my databases saved as A2000, it displays a security message. "Security Warning: Certain content in the database has been disabled"
Hi, I have downloaded the access 2007 trial. Installed and registered it with the trial code. However when I try to install any of the free sample dbs from MS including the northwind db, Access crashes!! I was going to purchase the full version of office, but wanted to test access first. If anyone knows a solution, or can email the northwind 2007 db it would be appreciated.Many ThanksP.S. Screen dump of error is included.
I read this article from Allen Browne http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html#Bugs Has anyone had any problems with 2007, data, tables, etc. Our company would like to install, but after reading this, just second guessing myself. We have not yet installed the SP1. The company is gang ho about running with 2007.
I would like to hear your oppinion about new MS Access Jet db engine
I've been working with MS Access still 10 years, since version 2.0. I used to use MS Accesss for companies size of 10 pc users, and for any bigger company, I used MS Access as front end and MS SQL Server as back-end.
I bought recently MS Office 2007, with MS Access 2007. Before that, I read in one computer journal, that new, Access db Engine is completely made from scratch. And that this new engine is so good, that there are no needs to work with , for example MS SQL 2005 express. Also, I read, that during development phase of MS OFfice 2007, Microsoft development teams SQL Server and MS Access in Redmond, USA, fought among themselves, about is there need for Jet db engine, or not.
Engineers working in MS SQL development team, made a pressure on Microsoft board, to remove Jet engine from Access, as you can take MS SQL express for free, but on the other hand, MS Access dev. team, replied that new Jet is robust at least as MS SQL express 2005.
So, my question is: what do you think about it, is new Jet db engine, really so good and robust in MS ACcess 2007 ?
I've been using Access from the beginning, (well v2.0 actually) and felt quite competent. Lots of clients using various versions, still as far back as 97 - but keeping them maintained.
I just got 2007 - and the UI is leaving me totally cold !!
Is there any way that we can have a 'classical view' of menu options etc in 2007 ? It is taking me ages just to do simple things - as I'm trawling around looking for the options or commands - is there a simple guide to this ?
Also finding a no of things that won't work - again - is there a summary of differences anywhere ?
I have a few sensitive applications that I am trying to move across to Access 2007. I want to re-establish the security and in the process I want the users not to be able to access a few options in the ribbon (Create table, create forms, create queries and reports, also not allow them to import data and not allow them to compact and repair the database and view the back end window) . I tried to do this with this bit of coding on the Ribbon XML: <customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"> <ribbon startFromScratch="false"> <tabs> <tab idMso="TabHomeAccess" visible ="true" /> <tab idMso="TabCreate" visible="false" />
</tabs> </ribbon> </customUI>
This hides the tab 'tabcreate'. But this allows the user to be able to add the same options through Quick Access Toolbar. Is there not a way of preventing it from the quick access toolbar as well? If I have 'startfromscratch' = true, there are no options displayed hrough Quaick access tool bar (no option to add them). Is there not a way to give a bit of flexibility by removing access to certain functions in the database? Am I missing something here...please help. Thanks,
