Hello,
I have split a database useing the database spliter wizard. But I still have network speed problems. What I am wondering is if anyone knows if useing an ODBC connection between the front and back ends is more efficient than file sharing across the network?
Thanks for any information on this
Tim
All,
I'm not sure how well I've managed to search on this as I'm not too sure where to start!
I have an append query as follows:
INSERT INTO tbl_Employee ( Company_No )
SELECT tbl_Co_Data.Company_No
FROM tbl_Co_Data
WHERE (((tbl_Co_Data.Company_No) Not In (select Company_No from tbl_Employee)))
ORDER BY tbl_Co_Data.Company_No;
Basically this query is run a number of times a day and appends new company numbers in to a table - 'tbl_Employee'. It's badly named - it's not got much to do with employees. Any way it takes a good 3 minutes to run with about 20k records in tbl_Co_Data and probably 18k records in tbl_Employee.
It looks to me like it's looping through each record in one table for each record in the other - which is plain daft.
I'm currently experimenting with a DTS package that puts tbl_Co_Data in to SQL server first before the query would run (tbl_Employee is already there) with a view to running a SP and ditching the query.
Does anybody have any other ideas as I'm having problems with the DTS in that it appears to be pretty slow in itself!
Many thanks in advance for any response.
Our office runs on a pretty large Access database (v2003). We are on a large hospital network and have about 15 users for our database. It tends to run VERY, VERY slow. Are there other options?

I`ve just spent a fair few months creating a database to be used by our sales team, I`ve about finished it and came to trial it with the sales manager. When he is using the database at the same time as me it becomes slow.
The design has a front end with all the queries, forms etc and a back end on a server containing the tables.
The database was created using Access 2000 and was designed to replace a similair db created on 97 which has a decent speed on the network.
The other strange thing is that one particular macro that I`ve been using for the speed tests runs quite slow (about 3 secs) when 2 pcs have the db open but once the macro has run if it is run again it takes typically less than a second to run.
What would cause a db to run a macro at different speeds after they`ve been run once? I`ve tried everything I can find on the net to try and improve the speed to no avail.
Help please!!
I have a 16Mb DB. The intention is for users to access this over the network without copying onto their local machines.
At present, many of the forms are located on 1 master form and they are all subforms on tabs. There are a lot of calculated control boxes on the forms, and these seem to be very slow to bring back the data over the network whereas on my local machine, the data is displayed in a couple of seconds.
COuld this be sped up somehow? Maybe using queries or other methods?
Hi guys. I am stumped with a 45 second delay when I startup my application. I get the delay on networked workstations only when another workstation is up showing the Main "switchboard" form. Each workstation has their own copy of VBA (not compiled) with networked versions having linked tables to the server's .mdb
It seems like the workstations know that the main form is up somewhere else and need to negotiate with it. All have the (Access 2000) Default open mode to Shared, Default record locking to No Locks, and Open database using record-level locking On.
:confused:
Hi
I have a couple of acces databases running on a peer to peer network (database A and B, which are housed on PC1). The database B has a link to a Customer table in database A. This was running fine until another user on the peer to peer network wanted to use database B on their pc (PC2). I had to change the the file location of the linked table to show it's location on the network so PC2 could open it. Unfortunatley this greatly slowed the operation of the database B on both machines.
If anyone has made it this far - Is there any way round this?

I have completed a database for a company with 60 000 clients and over 100 000 job records.
The database works at very resonable speeds on the Server computer, or the computer on which I installed the back end of the database.
Each of the other 3 computers on the wireless network, have a local copy of the Front End on their machine, and reference the Back End (BE) on the server computer.
Each of the Client computers have varing speeds when accessing the BE, some as slow as 10 minutes for a simple search, filter or just loading a form.
What can I do to improve performance across the network?
Do I need to install additional components on the other computers to improve the db performance?
Your help will be much appreciated.
Joseph.
Hi All,
I'm having trouble with access. Basically it has been very slow to load
(over 30 seconds when not opening a database) and when opening a database it just crashes.
Has anyone any idea what could cause this as it worked fine before ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have built a table with a field name of Birth date and have applied an input mask to have the data shown as: ##/##/##. Now, I would like to have another field labeled age. Is there a formula that I can create to have access calculate this in my table? I have tried "=mydate()-"Date Of Birth"" in the validation rule under the properties of the Age field; however, I keep getting an error. Any suggestions?

with a number of forms/ queries etc open and you click on at the back it is not coming to the front for amendment.
It is probably an indicator somewhere but I just can't find it

Thanks if anyone can offer a suggestion, I cannot find a similar problem described on the forum.
I have a form which runs at startup maximised. Pop-up and Modal are set to 'NO', Auto Resize and Center are also set to 'NO', Border style has been set to various settings, and Moveable has also been tried at 'YES' and 'NO'.
A command button on this form opens another form with the same settings which I want to take the original form's 'place' in the application window.
This all works fine, just that when I close the second window (using DoCmd.Close), the original window is then no longer maximised underneath it. I want to make sure certain windows are maximised at all times.
I know I could hack this with a DoCmd.Maximise somewhere, (or by switiching to full Pop-up/Modal mode and hiding the Application window) but the results of these are all a bit of a hack.
Can anyone shed light on the mysteries of Access's default form maximisation behaviour?
Or does anyone do what I have described successfully?
Hi,
i was working with a database and accidently deleted the first row, i couldnt get the automatic number to number another row 1, so i took out this table and created another one. however even though my new record is in order, when i pull this through to the website it's coming in the order 1,3,4,5,6,2... and the coding for the page worked fine with the db beforehand!!! so now i'm a bit lost
if anyone has any ideas, they'd be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

I have an Inventory DB Table called [EngData] that has a subform table called [Inventory]. I have in the subform a calculated text box that Sums three columns, StockQtyMade, StockQtySold and StockQtyShrink. This works perfectly.
On the Main form I have a calculated text box that references the subform calculated field. This also displays correct info.
On another Form I wanted other users to see the total stock on hand by using a calculated field called PullTotalQty. This is set by using DSum(...). The only problem is that the DSum(...) keeps giving totals that are not accurate. Sometimes the quantity is a few pieces less then the correct amount and in other cases the qty is many times what it should be.
Whatever the amount in error it is consistent each time a particular record is displayed. I have tried many things to get this to work but nothing has fixed the issue. I have also tried changing the query and nothing works. Changing the query and using the [Inventory] table in the DSum domain gives a different wrong quantity.
Here is the code: I reduced the code down to one column to be summed (StockQtyMade) just to see if I could get that working first. I will add the other two columns later. for testing purposes I am only looking at the StockQtyMade amounts.
Me.PullTotalQty.Value = DSum("[tblInventory subform].[Form].[StockQtyMade]", "[SumStockQuery]", "[tblInventory subform].[Form].[PartID]= " & Me.[ID])
Here is the SumStockQuery SQL:
SELECT Inventory.TransactionID, Inventory.PartID, Inventory.PrintNo, Inventory.StockRev, Inventory.StockQtySold, Inventory.StockQtyMade, Inventory.StockQtyShrink, Inventory.StockQtyXIncomplete, Inventory.StockLoc, Inventory.TransactionDescription
FROM Inventory
WHERE (((Inventory.TransactionDescription)<>"xNextOP"))
ORDER BY Inventory.TransactionID DESC;
Why the totals are incorrect??
hi i have a button that loads a report. If i then close the report the form, which is set with no border/no max/min/close/non movable and opens maximised, places itself off centre. I want it to stay maximised full screen. The only work around i currently have is when the use moves the mouse over the form it maximises itself. Will this then be calling this function everytime the mouse moves(cant be very efficient). is there a better way to maximise the form Immediately after closing the report.

I currently have a button with a checkbox on top (z-axis wise). This works exactly like I want, except that whenever the button is clicked or focused, it gets brought to the top and hides the checkbox. The only idea I've been able to come up with is maybe making the button completely transparent, with an image of a button behind it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBut in my access database I have a SQL code in which excel sheet opens automatically with required data. Now problem is one column in the excel sheet since this morning is showing up in Chinese instead of English. I don't know what to do.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently split my DB and distributed the front ends to respective users. I dont know why for this particular user, the property sheet does not show up even though the the Property sheet button is clicked on the Ribbon bar. For others it seems all fine. This user runs on 2 monitors , but that should not be a problem I guess?
I am currently running 2010 version , and i have tried doing run>msaccess/safe which does not work.
How the user can customize reports or queries , or I can modify designs if I want to on his front end...
I have created 2 tables:
StaffID
StaffTrainingID
Table 1 (StaffID) - contains all personal details in the form of forename + surname + position + email + contact numbers ect. Each field/person has an autonumber.
Table 2 (StaffTrainingID) - contains all mandatory training/lectures (18 fields in total). I don't wish to list each staff member again in table 2 so have put a StaffID field in (data type is number).
However, when I try to type in the StaffID number in that field so I can link that person to the relevant training he/she has taken, Access won't allow it.
I have created a multiple field search screen. The script is attached.
I would like to add a MSG Box "No records found" when the user types in information in any field where no records are available.
Just cannot get this working.
Hi,
I have a growing Access database in a multi-user environment over a 10/100Mb network. The database is all in one file at the moment, on a shared directory of our XP-Pro 'Server', and the workstations have a mapped drive to it and are W98SE machines. All the machines are 1.2Ghz Fujitsu Siemens machines.
It is still under development, but is also in constant use, and I therefore have to develop on a copy, then get everyone out so I can copy in the changes. I would love it to be a client/server setup and split the db to Tables only backend on the server and progams on the client, but when I tried, the result was a dramatic slow-down in the system...it became unusable.
I do have a budget for this, and could get a proper 'server' or maybe an Ethernet Disk, but what is the best config for speed and admin purposes. Anyone doing something similar??
Thanks
Hey,
I noticed something strange in access 2000: sometimes it takes a long time to calculate a report and other times it goes rapidly. I don't see any process taking a lot of CPU %.
When i do the same thing in Access2003, it goes rapidly every time.
Can anyone help me?

I have a number of queries which build two or three Union queries which looks at 35,000 records, and when you open the Union queries or run reports it takes forever for them to open.
I have indexed all the tables which have the common fields to see if this speeds it up the queries, but there still slow. The table they look at are in two different tables which are linked into a front end where the queries are!
I query against a table with 380K records and growing.
There are approx 14 fields in the table, but I only retrieve 7 in my query. Does having those extra fields in there slow the query down, or does the query ignore them?
Just trying to figure out ways to improve speed.
Thanks.
