Proper Closing Of Database
Jan 25, 2006
I recently created a database and installed buttons to properly close the database to avoid coruption of files etc. However I could not find a way to eliminate the X button in the upper right corner of access. Today my dbase crashed, I presume because someone did not use the buttons I installed, and just closed using the X in the upper right corner of access. The database is on a network, and was not password protected at the time. It will be when it is restored, however I would still like to know if there is a way to eliminate the x button in the upper right hand corner so that users will have to use the buttons created to properly close the database.

I have updated my copy of a database which included updates to a number of forms. I now want to import those changes into the proper database, so I used the Import function. I didnt get any errors when I imported everything, but the forms do not work as they did in my copy of the database.
One of the forms that dont work comprises of a number of drop down boxes, I have updated these so that the user has a filtered selection, to do this I put an SQL function in the Row Source property. This SQL function has been copied over correctly in the imported form, in fact when I go into the form in design view to check this fact then revert it back to normal view (after having not changed anything) it then works and all the other drop down boxes that didnt work on that form now work! How can viewing a form in design view and not changing anything make it now work?
So I could go into each form in the design view, check the Row Source property, then revert back to normal view and it would solve the problem of my forms not working, but, this database that I am importing the forms into is the back end of a split database and the first thing that the front end of the database does is import the changed objects into its database but the forms dont work.I have made changes in this way before and not had any problems before.

I have attachments I want to store in my database, most are images, some are excel files, etc. I'm sure its better to store a reference to the file instead of the attachment itself. Whats the best way to do something like this? Id like the attachment to still be displayed in the form if its an image...

Current Situation:
Right now when I close a form it will save the data and close.
Problem:
When somone goes in and messes up on something and they just want to exit without saving they cant do that. The data could have been changed and one may not remember what it was!
Solution Ideas:
I am thinking that a pop up window that says "Save Changes?" Yes/No then have it save or not. Could somone give me the details on how to do this or anything else that would solve this issue. Thanks.

When closing an access database, I get the following error message:
"There was a problem sending the command to a program"
We recently had our server changed over. Is this an access problem, or their problem?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. Is there a way of programming the access database in such a way that it doen't shut the whole database if someone by accident, presses the cross sign which is right on the top right hand corner. I'd like it to ask the user if they really want to quit first. This way, all the unsaved work can be saved prior to the closing.
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance

Where would I access the event properties for when the entire database closes? Something like the On_Close event for a form, but for the whole database.
I want to have Access prompt to back up the database upon exit, so when someone clicks the close button, a dialog box opens and asks "Do you want to back up?" with an Yes or No option. Yes would obviously run the backup code, and No would simply exit.

Hi,
When the user open the database, the database window will be hided. But, when the user close the database with one form opening, it will show the database window for a while, and then close it.
How to prevent the database window to show at the moment?

Is it possible to make the database compact and repair itself when it is closed to prevent it becoming too large?
Alternatively, can you create a macro to compact and repair at the click of a button?
Thanks, Steve

MS Access 2000
Hello everybody,
I am having a strange problem and despite trying out all the suggestions already discussed in this forum, the problem still persists.
My DB is already complete and I have done the following
1) Startup menu/uncheck all the option boxes
2) Tools menu/options/unchecked "windows in taskbar"
3) converted the DB into mde. file
4) Disabled the shift key
However, despite doing all the above, the "Database windows" shows up behind all the forms.
As per suggestions given by many here, I have also used
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
This also does not work.
Also tried running the following in a macro from this link
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0019.htm
All the above have not worked and if anyone has any ideas or another way of doing this, I would really appreciate it.

server administrators have expressed concern about my website that it is having a negative impact on the server.
He said this typically occurs when a website has a memory leak (where it obtains server resources and doesn't release them) or is opening database connections and not closing them until the point where no more are available.
I'm using asp.net to control Access and open the connections.
I don't know why it isn't closing them? the website is:
pedalcar.com
Any thoughts of what the problem is and what the statement I need to close the connections?

I have a split db that has been in use for a few years by about 12 people. The front end is compiled into an accde file.
Ocasionally a user (randomly) might get an error message "Microsoft has detected that this database is in an inconsistent state...." when closing the db and when that happens, a copy of the front end is automatically placed on their desktop.
This front end is always deleted and the original front end continues to work just fine afterwards.
Why are my users getting this error message? Why is the front end automatically copied onto their desktops?

I have a
- form called "Hauptformular" and a
- subform called "qry_tracking_Unterformular". Then there is a
- button called "cb_filialname".
Now when opening the Database, the form appears with the subform containing the
- query "qry_tracking"
When hitting the button "cb_filialname" the subform receives the contents of the
- query "qry_tracking_FilName", that has a filtering option on the Column "Filiale": "Like [Filialname?]"
Now the filtering works fine with the following Code:
PHP Code:
Private Sub cb_filialname_Click()Me!qry_Tracking_Unterformular.Form.FilterOn =Â
FalseMe!qry_Tracking_Unterformular.Form.RecordSource = "qry_tracking_FilName"End SubÂ
-> when you hit the button, the inputbox
Filialname?
appears.
The problem now is, that after having used the button, when I click the "Exit" cross right up there, the inputbox appears again.

I have a Ms Access split database where in the backend database grows up very fast and needs to be compressed everyday. I have written a batch script to compact the same and have scheduled it to be run every night. But the script is unable to compress the backend every time since the users tend to leave the application open at the end of the day. Ideally i am looking for a command line script to forcefully close the back end database if open before attempting to compact it.
I searched on web but could not find a command line script for forcefully closing the back end database.

I do not have a split db. I am prompted to enter my password when the db opens which is fine. However, when I close the db it prompts me to enter a password (not normal) and when I enter it it says invalid password. Also, when I try to change my password it says invalid password and when I try to compact and repair my db it say invalid password.

I have a database that runs a macro/report every 2 hours, however our network has been up and down lately. This causes the macro to fail when trying to log into the system because the table that is storing your username is no longer in the database. When I check, all tables, linked tables, forms, reports, macros and modules are all gone. I find the only way to get them back is to close the database and reopen.
What I want is a way to reconnect the objects without closing and reopening.
Is there a way to do this?

I have MDB database linked to SQL SERVER through VPN connection.I created links to the sql server Links are dsnless..Everything works fine but when I lost VPN connection or sql connection has been broken I can't refresh links to the tables.I receive message 3146 sql connection failed..I must close database and start again...
I tried different methods like ado,dao, and vba docmd.transferdatabase,aclink... but no success, table cant be relinked.
Only way I can relink is to change ip adress in conn.string
E.g. 192.124.0.2 (1st ip- router server ip) and after connection failed i can use 192.124.0.32 (2nd ip - server local ip) and that's it if i lost connection for the 3rd time... i must restart application.
It seems that access database keep the previous connection..how to reset or drop database connection to the sql server and refresh links to the tables with vba code without closing access database...

And I thought this would be easy. I am trying to make a db of storytelling kits for my workplace. I thought it would be easy. 3 tables. Link. Make a form with the kit details and 2 subforms where I'd enter all the books for each kit and all the activities associated with the kit. Each page would show only the books/activites that the kit contained.
Pfft.
None of that worked so I'm going to be a real dummy and ask what to do with my relationships.
So far I have
Kit
-ID
-Name
-Genre (lookup table, non changeable values)
-Location
-BookID
-ActivityID
Book
-ID
-Title
-Author
-Format (lookup table to another table)
Activity
-ID
-Name
-Description
-Materials
-Age Group
Format
-Description
Format is linked to book (cause it was just so I could have an easily updated lookup). Activity and Book are both linked to Kit. Each kit has many activites and many books (fine) and I'm tempted to just leave it as each book only has one kit (even though that may not be the case in the future). How do I set it up so that it works? I enforced referential integrity but that screwed up my form by telling me that I couldn't enter data into the kit area until I'd entered it into the book area which was useless as we enter the kit details and then find things to add to it.
Any ideas...just in general.
Sorry to be a pain yet again.

This is kind of a weird question. I downloaded and imported a table with cities and zip codes in it. All the city names are in upper case. I want to use the city names in that table as the row source for my City text box.
But in my database, I store city names in Proper Case, with just the first letter capitalized. So when I use the table as the row source, it pulls in the city name all in upper case
Is there a way, either within Access or not, to change the city names in that table to Proper Case?
