Packaging Wizard - Change Root Installation Folder
Jul 8, 2005
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 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.

Hi
I am using the following code to create a csv file on the desktop using a query
Set wShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
path = wShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set wShell = Nothing
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "qryexportcsv", path + "export" & Format(Now(), "ddmmyyyy_HH:MM:SS") & ".csv", True
Could someone tell me how I would also make a copy of the file in the root directory in the same event.

I need to get an average repair price of multiple part numbers with the same root number i.e.
8 each 8TJ124GGN1
4 each 8TJ124GGM1
7 each 8TJ124GGP1
First I used a query to average the repair price of each subset of numbers, and then queried the query to average all the subset prices together.
If I simply use the AVG function in the first query, I can use it again in the second query to get the average price of all the subset price averages. HOWEVER, if I use the expression:
AdjustedAvgLabor: Int((Sum([LaborPrice])-Max([LaborPrice])- Min([LaborPrice]))/(Count([LaborPrice])-2))
…to get a more accurate average by throwing out the high and low values, I get a:
“…expression too complicated to be evaluated”
when I try to average the averages in the second query using the AVG function.
I don’t know why the expression is “too complicated” since the first query has already completed its computations before the second query begins its AVG function.

Hello,
I have a question about Access runtime. We have some users at work who don't have Access on their machines, but we would like them to be able to use databases we have created. My suggestion was to purchase Visual Studio Tools for Office, which will give us Access Developer Extensions and allow us to distribute runtime versions of our databases.
However, the pcs here at work are pretty well tied down in terms of installing anything. E.g. no registry changes are allowed, unless you are an administrator.
So my question is - what is actually involved in installing the Access Runtime. Can it be achieved simply by copying the relevant files (ACCESSRT.* ?) into the office directory, or is there more to it than that. Will I be able to get my databases up and running myself, or is it likely that I will need the help of the Technology Department to get the Runtime installed ?
Thanks for any advice,

Hi,
a colleague of mine has Office 2000 installed on her work PC in order to carry out Access datadase responsibilities (amongst other things) as part of her job.
I think (though I cannot be sure) that someone has 'locked down' the copy of Access to such a point that shift bypass no longer works, F11 does not display the database window etc. This is strange because our company generally does a default install of Office and leaves most everything configured as standard.
In short, I need to access the Tools menu to set startup screen options and customize some of other options for her. Obviously I can't.
Will this problem require a complete Office re-install or is there a way to undo someone elses changes and set Access back to 'wide-open' ??
Thanks

I have packaged a 2007 db on a 2003 server. The db contains autoexec macro which:
a. opens a query,
b. opens a form with cmd button that returns a msgbox
c. Runcode a function that calls a subroutine to return a msgbox.
Everything runs fine on server since that's where the real 2007 install is.
On my pc I have xp2 and one install of access 97( don't ask) along with office 2003 installs(excel etc, etc).
I installed access 2007 runtime on my pc.
I copied the package from the server to my pc and did install. When db finally opens the query runs, the form opens but fails on the runcode. The code behind the cmd button returns nothing. This tells me that on vb was included with the db when it was packaged or I don't have rights to run it? Either why how can I resolve this issue as info on subject is nill.

I'm trying to automate a process of selecting a set of file/s and move them in a folder. When I click on a button, it should open a current folder that is setup in the code.
Lets say that I have a folder C:documents est, and very time I click on the button, it should open the dialog box with that path so I can select the files from another folder, drag them there and they will be saved in that folder.
This will form part of wider automation that will send an email stating that those file/s where placed in that folder.
I have in the same form where the button is placed, 3 check boxes that needs to be passed to the email as well that one or all the files where placed in the folder.

I'm trying to open a folder based on a BIN nr. This folder could be in a main folder that has diferent subfolder. As there where differnt naming used to create the folderes, one of the things they have always is the BIN nr.

Now we have serveral 1000th of folders and finding them takes time.

I have a db with more than 100 forms, reports - objects. My backend tables are linked sybase tables. What is the best way to hand this over to the users?
1. I want to create a mde version (which is not working, here's my problem :mad: Failure In Creating MDE File (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=94465)
2. I want a way to send this application to the user, in order that is installs on their desktop or a location i specify on the user's drive. I have no clue how to accomplish this, but i know that when i download some applications they do end up on my desktop :rolleyes: , so they must have done it somehow. Please help?
3. I want to have a master mdb hidden on the network somewhere, and when i make changes to that (e.g. my form or reports). And the next time the user goes into the version installed on their drive, it checks for the last version of the front end, and if that's not it, it erases the old one they have and installs my new version for them automatically. I know this can be done. Can you help me?
I'd really appreciate if anyone can help me please in any way. Advice, links, tutorial, whatever. Many blessings will come to you!
Ghudson! Before you attack me, i've done a search on the forum and though i've seen some posts, i can't seem to find one best for my means :) Thanks!

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.

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?
