Hi guys!
Is it possible to connect both access and mssql tables to a access database?
A costumer has asked me to update a small part of a mssql (Web) from a access database.
In order to make my application, can I create to tables in access, and "replace" these with sql tables?
Or am I way of on this?
I am upgrading a .mdb to MSSQL. The .mdb is 17MB, but the resulting MSSQL is 72MB. Tried using both the Access Upsizing Wizard and Enterprise Manager DTS. I have done this a number of times before, but never ran into this problem. Any ideas what coule be going on, and how to fix it?

My access database's tables are currently linked to an excel document. My question is, how do I move my database to the network? Currently when I move the the database to the network no one can open my tables because the link goes to my documents on my computer which they can't access on the network.
So how do I move the database and maintain the link between the database and my tables?
Thanks in advance,

I am looking into making an interface for the data entry person. The data
entry person would fill in an ID. Now I would want certain information about
this person(with the ID) to show up, say Name info, Contact etc. Once it is confirmed that it is the right person, the data entry person would fill in some other fields (salary break up) and this would then be stored in a separate table.
As I understand, I can get the validation info from a query. But what
exactly should I be looking into to execute the autofill. Do I need to code
the "OnClick" property of the field 'ID' which is being specified ?
Secondly, after the data entry person specifies the salary break up, what
would make this info store the new data into the existing salary table ?
General guidelines would be highly appreciated. Currently I am looking into
basic VB, because I suspect that some coding might be required.
I would like to create a text box in an existing report that uses data from another report. I create a new text box and go to it's control source and select the path.
In my case: =[Reports]![Radvantages members]![AccessTotalsAmount1]. When I run it, it sais "#Name?"
Is there another way to integrates data from another report? I don't want to use a subform becouse it doesn't work with my lay out
Is it possible to do this in a form/query/report.Basically the situation is:
- I'm creating a Database for a Gym
- I need to find members who's membership has expired
- I need the system to Send out reminder letters to all members to renew their membership
Soo basically I want to know if I can use a microsoft word template, say I type up a sample letter in microsoft word excluding the personal information. And I want to import this letter into my Acces document and by pressing a button say "Send letter to this person". And that button should use the memebers personal details in the sample letter and so I can now press print.
I want all this to happen in the Access document (unless there is a better way of donig this without using Word?)Also I need to do the exact same but with an e-mail function aswell.
Another situation is I want to have tick box feature which is calle Medical Condition? If it is ticked then another box appears allowing you to enter the medical details and if it's not ticked then no box appears. Is this possible?
Hi everybody,
I have recently been doing a conversion for my boss for a access 2000 database (both front and backend) to a MSSQL backend.
I finished the conversion today (as quite a lot of the code / queries ran slow due to access running the queries locally rather than on the server). And tested it on my and my boss's machine with no problems so he gave the go ahead to update everybody to our new mssql 2000 backend with the modified frontend.
This is when the problems started; We had two different sets of forms for accessing one of our databases systems - the log system, one is the original dynaset based form, and the other is a newer set which uses snapshot views and preforms updates via queries. Nobody uses the old dyanset system apart from my boss and one of the administrative team as they have things on that window which they need to see. About 30 minutes into the release of the new database the system frooze up on my bosses computer and nobody could create a new log (the server was timing out). I assumed this had something to do with the old dynaset's creating locks on the table.
I offlined the database and kicked everybody out of the front end, turned it on again and tied again, this time banning everybody from the dynaset system. Within 10 minutes another computer frooze up, again with a timeout on the insert query. I discovered that after you had added a new log to the database it would timeout on all subquent additions (something it hadn't done during testing) . Further investigatiion showed it was the snapshot list window causing the error, so coded the add log window to close the list before preforming the insert query and then reopen it afterwards. This allowed my machine to make multible additions without flaw. So I released a new client to everybody. 15 minutes later it was timing out again, but this time there you could not even make one new record.
I checked for locks on the table though the server management table and couldn't find any for the Log table. I have restarted the SQL server box and with no avil. So I reverted our backend to the access mdb file and told people to use the old client.
I am at a complete lose to why this is happening, if anybody has had any expericences like this or knows the cause please tell me.
Some information on the database in question.
It was made as an access 2 database all intergrated into one file, then it was seperated into two files (frontend and backend). Upgraded to Access 97, then to 2000 before this final update to MSSQL 2000.
The log system has two main tables. The first is the log title / info table which links (one to many) to a log entry table. This problem only occurs on the main log table and does not appear to be reoccurring anywhere else within the database. The main log table has just under 18,000 rows in it.
Thank you in advance for any help,

We have an extensive reporting application in Access and would like it to be available through a web application. I've went down the road of migrating this application to SQL to use SQL Reporting Services; this is a good tool but I am wondering if MS Access has an easier solution for me other than migration to SQL.
I'm looking for a solution that will make these reports available over the web for many users. Price tag is a consideration...need to know if there is any.
Please help...thanks in advance for any thoughts!!!!
