Password Issue: A2003/A2007 Compatibility
Feb 4, 2008
Hi,
I've been working on a database at work in Access 2003. I need to speed up though, so I thought I'd it bring it home on a USB memory stick and work on it here using Access 2007. I do this all the time with Word and Excel files and just take care to save them in 2003 version so I can use them back in the office.
But when I try to open this database, it's asking for a password. I know for a fact I haven't set any password on it, because I wouldn't know how to. Holding down the shift key is ineffective too.
Is Access 2007 not backwards compatible or something?

I apologize up front for how long this is, but the queries involved are a bit complex.
I developed a database in Access 2003 running on XP sp2 to score events for our dog club. Everything works. I recently had to migrate to Vista. I installed Access without a problem. No changes to the database were made. Almost everything works except for a few queries. I continually get the error "Object invalid or no longer set." This is not running on a network - it is local on the hard drive. Setting XP compatibility mode and runing as administrator do not help.
The query that is actually causing the problem is the third in a chain, meaning it queries a dataset produced by another query, which in turn queries a dataset produced by a third query. This all works under XP.
I have narrowed the problem down to the ORDER BY statement in the query (I prefer to work in SQL). If I remove one of the sort criteria, everything works, except the results are displayed in the wrong order. It does not matter if I click the "run query" button on my form, or simply execute the query from the list of queries, the same error occurs. This is where I'm stuck.
Here is the chain. This query pulls data out of multiple tables and performs some point total calculations. This one is rather complex, but works fine. It produces a blob dataset of all entries for all events and sets points for each entry.
SELECT tblResults.Event_ID, tblEvents.Event_Name, tblClass.Class, tblDogs.Dog_Name, tblDogs.ID, tblDogs.Owner, tblDogs.Sex, tblResults.Dog_Wt, tblResults.Cert, tblResults.Ex, tblResults.Cplt_Wt, tblResults.Time, tblResults.Final_Wt, tblResults.Dist, tblResults.Place, IIf(tblResults!Cplt_Wt<400,0,5) AS Bonus, IIf([Bonus]=0,0,IIf(tblClass!Class="D",(tblEvents!D_Count-(tblResults!Place-1)+[Bonus]),IIf(tblClass!Class="C",(tblEvents!C_Count-(tblResults!Place-1)+[Bonus]),IIf(tblClass!Class="B",(tblEvents!B_Count-(tblResults!Place-1)+[Bonus]),IIf(tblClass!Class="A",(tblEvents!A_Count-(tblResults!Place-1)+[Bonus]),(tblEvents!O_Count-(tblResults!Place-1)+[Bonus])))))) AS Points, Round(tblResults!Cplt_Wt/tblResults!Dog_Wt,2) AS xbdywt
FROM tblClass INNER JOIN (tblEvents INNER JOIN (tblDogs INNER JOIN tblResults ON tblDogs.ID=tblResults.Dog_ID) ON tblEvents.Event_ID=tblResults.Event_ID) ON tblClass.Weight=tblResults.Dog_Wt;
That resulting dataset feeds the next query, which also works fine. This one sums the points for each entrant by class for the season, only selecting entrants that have been in 3 or more events.
SELECT DISTINCTROW qryAll_Results.Class, qryAll_Results.Dog_Name, qryAll_Results.Owner, Sum(qryAll_Results.Points) AS Points
FROM qryAll_Results INNER JOIN qryPulls_Entered ON qryAll_Results.ID=qryPulls_Entered.ID
WHERE qryPulls_Entered.CountOfID>3
GROUP BY qryAll_Results.Class, qryAll_Results.Dog_Name, qryAll_Results.Owner, qryAll_Results.ID;
This last query is the one causing the headache. This one pulls the 10 entrants with the most points for a class, sorts them by points, then assigns 1st-10th place.
SELECT TOP 10 qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Dog_Name, qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Owner, qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Points, ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes AS T WHERE T.Class = "A" AND T.Points > qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Points)+1) AS Place
FROM qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes
WHERE (((qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Class)="A"))
ORDER BY qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Class, qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Points DESC;
If you remove 'qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Points DESC' from the ORDER BY statement, the query runs. If you leave it in, it generates the error "Object invalid or no longer set". I've tried using the alias, but that didn't work either.
Any thoughts? I can post the database somewhere if someone needs to see the whole thing.

I just got A2007
wheres the help? found that eventually!
wheres the database window? there ain't one!

i've got A97, A2002XP, A2003, which all work seamlessly at the same time
but A2007 keeps reinstalling/conifguring and then forces the others (except A97) to do the same
as I only got because a client has it and I have to keep up, its not the end of the world but is this normal?
Thanks

I posted this before, but didnt get any answers
In A2007, has anyone had a problem with checking whether a text field is equal to "" in a query
ie - select * from whatever where targetfield = ""
-----------
this generated a type mismatch (I actually had <is null or ""> in the query definition, but it was the "" it didnt like.

Just doing my regular check-in. Wondering if Microsoft has come to grips with this yet :mad:. My form with dozens of databound controls opens instantly on Access 2003, but takes over 10 seconds on Access 2007. I can see poor little A2007 slowly drawing each control. It's rather sad, but humorous, and yet pathetic at the same time to watch Microsoft's flagship products going down the toilet along with their stock price.
The problem appears when:
- You have more than a few databound controls
- You have SQL server on the backend
Every time I try to get help, the Microsoft "MVP" of the moment declares that I have a problem with my query and "forgets" that the form opens instantly in the old standby Access 2003.
Or has Microsoft admitted yet that they have a problem? Like I said, I'm just doing my regular check-in :rolleyes:. My client is happy enough using Access 2003 and will continue to do so forever until I tell them they need to upgrade... but right now Microsoft is taking us both to the poorhouse :mad:

I have an unbound report - which is actually a form for the user to print out if they need one. There is no data on the form.
Here is the code that is run when the Button is Clicked:
'First, I reenable the Access menus so that they can use those to print
DoCmd.OpenReport "TransitionSurveyPaperFormLEA", acViewPreview
When I open the report on XP/Access 2007, it works just fine.
When I open the exact same accdb with a Win7/A2007 machine, the report does not open. If I debug and display the error, a msgbox appears
"The OpenReport action was canceled."
I have other bound reports and those open with XP/A2007 or Win7/A2007 just fine.
It makes me VERY nervous that the same exact ACCDB in A2007 runs differently on different OSs (XP vs Win7).

My office is running Microsoft Access 97 but I use voice recognition software and that is not a real compatible with the 97. I need to upgrade to the latest Microsoft Access version.
My question is if I upgrade to Microsoft Access 2003 is there a way for my created databases to be saved so the users of Microsoft Access 97 will be able to open and use the database? I understand they will not be able to make any changes to the database but will they be able to open it/view it entered their criteria into the queries can be able to see their information?
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

If I were to create an Access database within the Windows platfiorm, would it be accessible on a Mac machine with MS Office for Mac installed? Please advise on the implications here i.e. will the Security features work (MDW file, etc).
Any feedback would be greatly apreciated!

Hi all, I have created a database for work in Access2003. I have two questions. The first is, many people at the work place use AC97 and some use AC2000. In order for everyone to use the database, i have saved it in AC97 format. It seems to open fine in Ver2000 and 2003, but i get this nag screen on load up with these versions saying "do you wish to convert the database". As I'm working off a shared drive, i don't really want anyone converting the dbase. Is there a way to disable this nag screen when loading in AC2000 and AC2003??
Second question, is it possible to have more than one instance of the database open at anytime? . If I've got the database open, my colleague can't open it. Its a simple database that writes records directly to a table. Thanks for any advice.

Will Access 2000 run on Vista? I've heard that it will, but I would like to verify that before I purchase the upgrade. I currently use Access '97.
Also, does Access 2000 have to be "product activated" like the newer versions?
Thanks.

I created an access 2010 file containing tables and 2 linked forms to distribute to different people so that they can enter data for a project. The problem I am having is that the people receiving the file aren't able to open it, different error messages pop up:
-accessde.dll missing
or
-vba6mtrt.dll missing
Is there a way to export the access file so that regardless of the program, they are able to open the file? if not, what are the solutions to this?

I have a 2007 db, been working no it in 2007 and occasionally in 2010, careful not to use any 2010 items. Well I goofed and added a Navigation Form (2010 only) and then deleted it. Now My 2007 db opens in 2007 fine, everything works, but the glowering Warning message and lovely yellow yield sign show up constantly. How do you resolve the incompatible items and clear this warning?

Hi,
Firstly thank you for your help, this should be a simple one I hope, but is cracking my head on the wall. Have searched and searched and can't find an answer.
I have an Access Db that is not password protected, but is asking for a password.
It opens on any other machine fine?
I think my version of Access is playing funny buggers with me, any suggestions?
I was trying to implement some security on this Db, which is why it happened I'm sure. I ran the security wizard, set-up two users and admin with passwords, I have the output file to "recreate" something too.
Issue is, I then copied this Db to another computer for use on there, it worked without a Password, so didn't need to worry about it, now I can't open any Db on my machine??
Your help on this obvious pointer would be great!

I have an Access db that is going to be shared by two different users. One user has Access 2003 and the other has Access 2002. Will there be any problems using this setup if both the users are accessing the MDB file at the same time?
Thanks,

I don't realy know how to explain this but a college of mine has done something to her Access settings, whenever she tries to open a database it asks her for a User login password.
The prompt is a box with
Name: Centre Manager
Password:
If she types Centre Manager in the password box then it lets her in as normal. Everyone else can just access the databases without being prompted for a password.
Does anyone know what she has done?

I'm creating a data access page that can be used over the internet to add information into the database. The database is password protected. The functionality currently is that when a user accesses the data access page, they need the database password in order to submit information. We don't have a small number of users and giving all these people the password to the database would comprimise the security of the system.
I am looking for a functionality such that the people that edit the database, either by the front end application or by opening the database directly to be password protected. But the data access page not to be.
Any ideas on how I can achieve this functionality?
