trying to convert to 2003 format and I get conversion errors. They are in 2 tables.
1-customers table says -1605:could not find field "description"
2-orders table says -1522: No unique index found for the refrenced field of the primary table.
Can anyone help? I can get in to create new reports & quiries, but if want to add orders to customers it will not let me.
I would appreciate help.
I have a dbase that was created in access XP. We are in the process of upgrading to office 2003. For the most part the database works fine. However, I have 1 form that has a few fields that have conditional formatting
on them and when the form opens those fields flash very fast continuously all most like the tab key is being held down. No matter what I do I can't get it to stop. Has anyone seen anything like this and how do I make it stop?

I've read alot on this, Tony Toews, Allen Browne and our own experts have put out lots of info.
I've started converting my dog straying database and have a weird result. This is split into front and back ends.
Result:
My PC Win XP Access 97 and 2003 works perfectly
PC 2 Win 2K Aceess 2003 ditto
PC 3 Win XP Access 97 and 2003
setup looks identical to mine no missing refeneces etc - No images will display in the image frame on the main form.
I have no hair left. Any ideas??
I've created a database in 2007 but now found out that it will only be used in 2003. The database started as a template but has been modified quite a bit and also includes several macros and some vba. The problem is, when I save the database in 2003 format(from2007) it keeps all functionality when opened with 2007, however, when I open it in 2003 none of my buttons, macros, or vba work. The main project form is also very functionally different. Does anyone know of a way to get my functionality into a database that will open in 2003? I really don't want to spend the time redoing all this in 2003. I've uploaded my database if anyone wants to take a look (its split front end and back end) The front end is the one with problems.

Hi, I have a few Access 2003 databases and I need to open them on my computer which has Access 2000 on it. Can anyone please tell me how to convert it so it is compatible? I have looked into "databse utilities" "convert to" etc but can't figure it out.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been hired to clean up and convert a flat filemaker database into access 2003 and I've spent the last two weeks learning the ins and outs of access and doing preparations. Well, today some high up database guy in another department told me not to use access because in the future when a new version of access comes out we will have to recreate the database from scratch because there are lots of problems converting between versions. I'm aware there might be some hiccups but I don't really agree with him. Plus once the database is up and functioning I don't see why we'd even have to upgrade it to a new version. It's just a small health centre patient database with info about patients and their treatments. Does anyone have any opinions about this. Thanks.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is very strange. I have converted two computers from 2003 to 2007. I have also installed 5 2007's on to new computers. All of these are Professional XP sp2 setups. I copied over a database to woek on those computers. Originally the performance was very good, on all of the computers (but not the lowest specified converted laptop ) exitting from a form containing a subform takes 37 seconds. The word Calculating... is on the status bar. The laptop takes 3 seconds par with what it used to do.
I have transferred the 'Data' database, the 'Apps' database, Utility.mda and another .MDA. I have also transferred all the Reference executables to one of the other computers. This has not made a jot of improvement.
Has anyone any pointers. I have exhausted all the resources trying to find a solution to this one.
Our Access database is multiple user. The front end is on the local drive and the data file is on our main server. Our database has numerous queries, forms and reports accessed by command buttons or directly. Various queries are set to merge with Word documents.
What are major or annoying problems that have been encountered by converting. Our database is contains our membership information and is crucial to our operation. Detailing problems/solutions if possible would be extremely helpful. Asking for allot but very concerned about conversion.
Thanks for any input.
Hello,
I have created several files in Access 2003, and sent them to a collegue, but he is using Access 2002 and cannot open my files.
What do I need to do so he can access my files? My experience with Access is very limited.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone,
I would like to convert a database, which was made for me, in order to enable it to be used on my current system.
I get the error message below when trying to open the database in Microsoft Access 2003.
The database was made using Microsoft Access 2.0.
Will I need Microsoft Access 2.0 to update/delete the database all the time?
Or can I convert this to be used with Microsoft Access 2003?
I have tried opening the file exclusively and I get the same error.
I have selected Show Help and it advises me to import all the objects from the database into a new database. This can`t be achieved as I can`t open the file to retrieve the contents.

Hello Everyone,
First of all thanks alot for investing your valuable time in reading my query, I wonder if someone can kindly educate me on how to convert an access database.mdb file to an executable .exe file. Also is there a way to create an installation package to install the database to many Computers.
Thanks Again

This is the error i get...
This error is usually associated with compiling a large database into an MDE file.* Due to the method used to compile the database, a considerable number of TableID references are created for each table.* The Microsoft Jet database engine version 4.0 can only create a maximum of 2048 open TableIDs at one time.* Exporting a database as an MDE potentially can exceed this limit if the database has a large number of objects (table, macro, form, report, etc).
There is no accurate method to estimate the number of TableIDs the Jet database engine uses during the process of compiling a database as an MDE.* However, each VBA module and each form uses one TableID, as a result, if the database has 500 forms, and each form's HasModule property is set to Yes, as many as 1,000 TableIDs are used.

Hi.
For years several agencies have used a database written and maintained in Access 97.
One adminstartor has both 97 and 200 on his computer and no problem. Until now, that is.
When I try copying a revised front end, and opening it, I get 'unrecogized database format' message.
My hunch i sthat said administartor accidentally opned the basck end with 2000 and converted it.
So, can the back end be unconveted/reverted back to 97?
Any other suggestions?

I have a problem converting access 97 mdb files into access 2000. There are multiple access databases that use a mdw workgroup on a network drive. I do have the ability to log on as an admin. Access 2000 is not letting me convert the files to the new format (telling me I don't have permission). The databases do have lots of forms, queries, macros and such.
Would the easiest method be to remove the userlevel security or is it possible to get around that? If I were to remove the user level security is it as simple as loggin in as admin, deleting all user account, granting all permissions to users and admin and removing the password?
Any help is much appreciated.
Hi All
I am currently compiling an Access DB to manage my work in progress, Payments due etc.
The DB is starting to work well and have requests from fellow contractors to purchase a copy (there are over 400 subcontractors in the group), with this in mind I have decided that when I complete the DB I will take it to a proffessional programmer and have it converted to a fully standalone programm.
My question: Is there a programm format that is preferable or would C# be the best option or is there a product out there that I could purchase and use.
Thanks in Advance

Hello,
I'm trying to get a way to creat a database of my phone messages (SMS).
I have them on a .txt file and I would like to create on ACCESS (or other program) the fields "Date:" "From:" "Message:", etc.
So, everytime I introduce a day, all sms sended on that day appears, or, when I introduce a Name, every message from that person, appear.
Is that possible? Of course that I want to convert it, not introduce one bye one because I have around 2000 messages...
Thank you very much
This is a example of the .txt file I have:

I have time sheets from the past I need to enter but have found that some years the time punch minutes are given as if an hour equals 100 minutes not 60. Other years the minutes are given correctly. How do I format this field so that if I type 3.75 it will convert to 3.45 hours? Will I have to add another field to enter this and then convert to my field where hours and minutes are correctly entered? :confused:

Could someone tell me is it possible to convert a particular column from 0/-1 to show y/n instead? Its just a simple select statement I'm doing and I need a Y or N instead or numeric!

Hi here is the original code
MAX(IIf([Book]='C',[Score]," ")) AS CScore,
Max(IIf([Book]='C',[PercentileScore]," ")) AS CPercent,
Max(IIf([Book]='C',[PassFail]," ")) AS C,
Max(IIf([Book]='D',[Score]," ")) AS DScore,
Max(IIf([Book]='D',[PercentileScore]," ")) AS DPercent,
Here is what I thought may work, but it seems like there should be an easier way
Case when Max ([Book]) = 'C' then [Score] else null as CScore,
Case when Max([Book]) = 'C' then [PercentileScore] else Null as CPercent,
Case when Max ([Book]) = 'C' then [Passfail] else Null as C,
Case when Max([Book]) = 'D' then [Score] else Null as Dscore,
Case when Max ([book]) = 'D' then [PercentileScore] eslse Null as DPercent,
Thanks

I am trying to convert a whole number to a start time w/ no luck. Assuming "0" is 12:00 AM, I have a start minute of "480" which would in essence be 8:00 AM. Can anyone tell me if I can somehow convert this to time in my query? Thanks.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have a table that has fields that captures dollar amounts. I have these fields set to a default value of "0".
The tables are updated via a query that imports a csv file. Once the import process has finished, my table has blank values in some of the fields that capture dollar amounts.
If a field populated by the csv file is left blank, I would like for the field to show $0.00.
How would you recommend handling this?
When trying to convert my MDB database to and MDE database I get the following error pop-up...
"Microsoft Office Access was unable to create an MDE database"
I am using 2003 and the database is tiny at about 6 tables, 10 forms, 100 controls.
The error message help is useless but I include it here for what its worth...
