May 23, 2006Do IT professionals and database developers use Access and VBA to make their databases or do they only use knowledge of SQL and Server 2000 etc?

Access 97 Database Wont Run On XP Professional
Mar 10, 2005Hi Guys,
Please can you help. I have installed Windows XP Professional and Access 97. When I start the database by clicking an ENTER button on a form I get the following message:
The OpenForm action was cancelled
You used a method of the DoCmd object to carry out an action in Visual Basic, but then clicked Cancel in a dialog box.
For example, you used the close method to close a changed form, then clicked cancel in the dialog box that asks if you want to save the changes made to the form you used a method.
I have installed SP1 and 2 and the problem persists. I know the database can run as it is working on my laptop with XP Pro.
Any ideas??
Many thanks in anticipation

Question For Experienced Access Developers Only.
Jun 23, 2006We have come accross a very strange problem.
When we compact the database one of our reports fails to print.
If we use the older version before compaction the same report succeeds printing.
The query underlying the report works for both the compacted and uncompacted databases ... the problem occurs when the report is printed or previewed.
We have isolated the problem in the report to four fields which are all from the same table. When these four fields are removed from the report the report prints in the compacted database. As mentioned before in the uncompacted version the report prints with these four fields.
I don't understand this error and don't know how to go about fixing it.
What could be the problem? How could compaction corrupt the report? It works fine before compaction but once the database is compacted it fails to print. The Query stalls at a certain point and just sits there and the report is never printed.
Any ideas? This has been a recent error. This report has been working for over a year now until recently.
Thank you very much

2 Developers Working On 1 Db How Best To Create Master?!
Jan 2, 2008Hi,
We have quite a large Db which always requires the updating of new features etc. I update some bits while my collegue works on others.
I was just wondering if there's a good way of "merging" the 2 Db's together? Is this the syncronising bit, or does that just refer to data?
Basically, we shouldn't update the same forms/ queries as we are assigned specific jobs so no they're not going to effect each other.
It's just that when we come together it's a case of "OK, what have you updated?" and we have to through each section, hopefully we've written them all down!
:o
Any suggestions as always, much appreciated.

Professional Access Developer
May 4, 2006Is there anyone based in or near Nottinghamshire (UK) who would be interested in reviewing the current database system we use at our office? We are a skiing holiday company and the database is fairly complex.
It was created about ten years ago and over time has had various bits and pieces added on etc. and I am under the impression it is currently a mess!
I am looking for a professional database developer, not an amateur who fancies themselves as such! If anyone can help, please post your details and credentials and I'll give you a shout.
Cheers.
Office Professional And Runtime Files Question.
Sep 24, 2006Question:
I notice that I have ACCESSRT.msi and ACCESSRT.CAB on my MS Office Professional CD. Why would I need VSTO? For the packaging wizard? Why can't I just install these files on the computers of my users and then an .mde file?
Why would they have included these files if this wasn't their intention?
It just seems silly that I would have to pay $799 for files that are included on my disk. (Microsoft? Silly? Surely you jest.) I would need VSTO for absolutely NOTHING else but this.
Can someone "enlighten" me on the thinking here?
I would also clarify this is for interoffice work only (if it makes a difference) and not something I'm distributing for a "paid" end user.

Access Developer Extensions And Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition
Jan 1, 2007I have developed an Access mdb file with lots of tables, forms, queries, reports, and VBA code. I want to be able to distribute this to Access-less users. I understand that the Access Developer Extensions enable this to be done and that the two wizards assist.
My first question is this: Are the Access Developer Extensions and the two wizards included in Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition?
I ask because this is what was recommended by a Microsoft representative and is what I’ve purchased. This came along with something called MSDN Library, but I’m not sure what that allows me so it is possible that this library will contain the elements that I’m searching for, but so far I’ve not found it.
Are the Access Developer Extensions only provided as part of the Visual Studio for Microsoft Office Tool package, as I’ve seen referenced in several forums and articles, including yours, or are these in fact part of other tools, such as the Professional Edition of Visual Studio that I’ve purchased?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Database Size Limited To 2GB / Query Multiple Database Without Linking Tables?
Sep 7, 2011I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:
1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.
2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.
I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.

Sep 12, 2012Database: Access 2007
I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.
Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.
What is the best way to do this?
General :: Database For Metal Market Prices To Be Used In Another Database
Jun 24, 2015I have been working on a database for over a month now, and my boss just threw a monkey wrench in my work. I believed that the Metal Market Prices would be entered once a week in the current DB. My boss informs me today that he wants an employee to go in every morning and enter that days Price for Each Metal with respect to many different markets.
There is a total of 12 metals, and 5 markets. I need the data to be stored first by date, then by either market or metal, and lastly by which ever isn't used second (Either: date-market-metal, or date-metal-market). I think the Latter of the two methods makes the most sense. Is it possible for my current DB to lookup values from the Metals Database based on date-metal-market?
Jet Database Engine Error On Non-shared Database
Jul 7, 2005I have a problem that seems to be happening on several users' databases and is causing a big problem. None of the databases is a shared database...they are all single-user databases on stand-alone computers. I have tried looking for help within previous posts, but all seem to be related to shared databases.
I am getting an error message: "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." The database cannot be opened, imported, repaired...nothing seems to work.
Again...these are NOT shared databases. I appreciate any help I can get. I created the database for all of the secretaries in our school district to keep up with absence data. It involves many tables, queries, forms and reports, and has generally worked well. However I am now seeing several that are getting similar errors as mentioned.
Thanks!
Best Way To Import SQL Database To Local Access Database?
Dec 25, 2005I'm new to Access and VBA, for the record. What I need to do is copy a SQL database (table structures and records) and save it as a local Access database, so that the user can query and make any changes on the local file without editting the SQL database.
Looking around, it seems like the best option would be to use the TransferDatabase method with the acImport option. Does this sound reasonable, or can someone with more experience suggest a better way to go about it? Thanks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCreate EXE From Database And Have Several Project Using Same Database
Oct 24, 2013I created a database with forms, querys, etc. Now I was thinking of creating a exe so everyone can use this database without having access to all the design functions.
the only problem I see about doing this is if we need to use the same database for different project, we need to always create a new exe for each project.
Is there a way to make a empty database exe with just the layout, querys etc but with no data on the tables and have a save, open and save as option. So we can have several projects using the same database?
I was thinking to create a VB code for the database to delete all data on the tables when the database is open.
and before closing the database exporting all the data to a txt file or something.
Then the next time someone opens the database goes to the main form which has a open bottom which imports the txt file into the tables.
This way we can have several txt file for several project and use always the same exe database.
Linking To Another Database From On Database
Nov 20, 2006I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
Does anyone know how this is done?
Thank you in advance for your help,

May 24, 2005I have a car dealership database and have a servicing section.
I want to create a form to service these vehicles.
The only vehicles which will be displayed on the from are the sold ones (because you cannot service a vehcile which hasnt been sold) which i have a query for.
I also want the form to display the customer who owns the car the service details (eg what they need), the parts availiable and the parts required for the service.
The calculations i need to make in this form are as follows
quantity needed (parts required table) - quantity in stock (purchasing customer parts table)
quantity needed (parts required table) * price (Parts Table) + labour (servicing table) = part/labour costs (servicing table)

Can't Log On To Database
Feb 13, 2006Hi all,
I was playing with passwords for one of my access db.
I tried opening the db with the password, but it won't work. So, I thought I forgot the password. I checked some posts on this forum that helped in retrieving the password and it's the same that I have been trying. I am not sure if the Name is correct, is there a way to retrieve the log on name?
I also noticed that when I try opening any other db on my system, it asks me to log on, I though I was only applying a password to one file.
Please help
Thanks!
