Connect an existing Access project to a different SQL Server database and the instructions are so simple however when I get to On the file tab click SERVER to open the Data Link Properties Dialogue, there isn't a SERVER option to click on.
My SQL server was on my local machine because I use Goldmine PE 9.2. I moved the SQL server to a different machine, I can connect to it, I can use it with Goldmine, all is well from my local machine except when ever I use my .accdb file, since the SQL server has been moved, I have to login with each request by the access file. This is sometimes six and seven times per session, waiting, error message, logging in, waiting, error message, logging in until it has all it needs to produce my required lists. It's mind numbing and I can't for the life of me find where I can reconnect to the SQL database so I don't have to do this so many times per session.
In Access 2010 32bit running windows 7 64bit. How do I find the datalink properties to connect my .accdb to a different sql database?
Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.
I have developed a database using Access 2010. This is split into a Front End and a Back End.
In the same folder as the Back End I store a number of user modifiable files in either bitmap (.bmp) or MS Word (.doc to retain compatibility with older versions).
Unfortunately, the drive letter where the back end resides will change from location to location and I can't do anything about that.
I have set up a function that returns the location of the folder where the docs reside irrespective of the back end drive location, and this works perfectly with OLE linked pictures but not with OLE linked Word documents. User changes show correctly in Word document changes at locations with the original drive assignment but other locations show only the original doc contents even though they have been changed on the local back end location. - even if I delete the Source Item info on the report!!
An example of the code I am using for the Source Item is <GetBackEndPath() & "Footer.doc"> without the angled brackets of course, where GetBackEndPath() is a global variable storing the location of the documents folder ending with a back slash.
I have tried the above in the reports Source Doc property but Access won't accept this and says it isn't valid for this property.
I am Using Access 2010 Version. I have created a Database which consists of Linked Tables (from remote Server), Queries and a Form.
I am using Form to search the required Data. Every thing is working in My PC. But, when the Database file is trying to open from my colleague PC. It is not working. I mean, The Form is opening but when I click the Button nothing is happening. My Colleague is using 2007 Version of MS Access.
I want to set permissions in Access, how can I restrict an employee in my key checkout database from checking out keys that are not in their department. What kind of table do i create or is it visual basic coding?
I am having difficulty importing a large txt file into my database, due to the first column containing a * prefix. normally i would just go through the document and delete it, but this file is quite large at over 100k records.
Is there anyway of importing this file in access 2010 and telling access to ignore the first column?
I have a split db with tables in the back end and my forms, reports, code etc. in the front end.
I encrypted the back end with a password. That worked fine.
I deleted and relinked my tables to the encrypted back end. That worked fine as well.
I have a function that will disable the shift key bypass. If I run that in my front end db then I can't save it as an accde because I can't get to the HOME screen. If I save it as an accde first then I can't run my 'disable shift key bypass' function because I can't get to the modules!
How can I secure a split Access 2010 database so that the user cannot execute shift bypass on the front end or make any changes to the code?
I have a access 2010 split database and i need to modify one form on the front end (it is an accde file). However, when i open the Front end, i cannot find the possibility to go into the form design mode.
How do i need to do it? do i need to restart from the unsplit database?
The both the front end and the back end are password protected.
I have a database which is now reasonably finished and am looking slightly ahead at how it can be accessed by the staff. The first clinic has two stations that need constant access to it, namely the clinic area and the reception area.The second clinic is about 3 kilometers distance away from the main clinic and will also need constant access which, I presume,would be by hosting the database on a Windows based Server, to which all three locations would connect and then be able to use the database directly. When I say Windows Server I mean as could be used to host a web site on the Internet rather than use of an internal Intranet system.
Should I split the database and only host the backend part on the server (i.e. the tables)?Does the whole database need to be uploaded to the Windows Server?Is any other software required to make this work?I presume that I would need to introduce record locking? Is this easily done and, if so, how?
I am using an Access 2003 database to create a Word report that contains Graphs. We have since moved to Office 2010, and now the vba code will not select the graph and populate the data, i presume this is because the data is no longer in a datasheet but Excel itself.
I used the Contacts Database Template to import a comma delimited txt file of contacts data. The template included a number of tables, queries, forms & reports which I did not require. I deleted them leaving only a Table entitled 'Addressbk'. I added an Entry Form using the standard access tools and this works fine with the table. However, on running the access database I get the following error message; 'The form named "Main" is mis-spelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist. My only form is labelled 'Entry Form', so it would appear that one of the forms I deleted must have been named 'Main'. If one ignores the error message the database & entry form function perfectly.
I'm working in Access 2010. I created a database that I want to post in a server on the read-only mode, so that users can not change forms or querys. How can I do this in Access 2010?
For some reason our database keeps "not responding" ...
The application stops responding when:A field is selected that has a input mask
A combo box is highlighted (forcing the drop-down menu to open)
Certain buttons are pressed (in fact all but two trigger not responding, why the two buttons are immune)
if I put a break point on a section of code that runs when I press a button (any button, it doesnt matter) and I then press the button which takes me to VBA, to the break point. Then I press F5 to continue to run the code until the function ends (essentially doing nothing, just running the code to the soonest break point I can in the function and then running the rest of the code as normal...) it all works fine again!!!!
I fixed the issue by creating the function:
Code: Sub aiuewjgaop() End Sub
saved the database, deleted the function and then saved the database again.
I am the administrator for a 2010 Access Client Database that consists of many clients with their information and we have three users whom go in and edit-add information to this Database and it hasn't been a problem until two users have tried to edit the same client record at the same time and then we have had some issues...
So, not sure this is even possible, but can one prevent more than one user being on the same client record? Is there a way to have a message come and say this record is in use?
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'm trying to build up a database for Multiple choice questions quiz in MS access 2010.My requirement are as follows
My quiz consist of 15 questions. Each questions carry some weightage. Suppose a question carries a weightage of 5 and there are two correct options like A & C. If user selects option A then he gets half marks.Multiple users can access the test at the same time.
I want to link an excel sheet to my database but I dont want to link the location with a drive letter but instead linking the network address. How can this be achieved?
In addition, I want to startup application with a command line in a access macro and used this line but it doesnt work.

I have built an Access 2010 split database on my computer and it functions as built. My next step was to copy it to the server at work and test it. I discovered the tables had to be re-linked and so did that. As I have read in the Access World Forums in order to function as a multi-user database a copy of the front end must be placed on the individual workstation with the back end residing on the server, however the hyperlinks in the back end will not function when the copy on the workstation is run. I simply get an unable to open "filename" error pop-up. I can run the server copy and everything functions as built. I know that the hyperlinks require all the files to be in the same folder (relative vs. absolute), but if the back end contains all the hyperlinks why does the location of the front end seem to affect the operation of the back end?
I know how to create new table in Access by linking to Outlook contacts. The problem is, the default NOTES field in the Outlook contact does not show up in the linked Access table. Every Outlook Contact field shows up with the exception of that one field.
I have a MS Access 2010 application when the User opens form CONTACTS Form
◦User finds single record to be used CONTACTID is identifier to be used for selection ◦User clicks button to open form frm_MAIL_MERGE ◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has a drop down combo box that reads the folder location where the application resides and displays all .DOTM files (that is all template files) and one more combo box which contains the CONTACTID. ◦User selects single .dotm file for merge ◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has either drop down to select CONTACTID or UNBOUND data field for user to type in CONTACTID number ◦User enters CONTACTID to be used for the mail merge ◦User selects SUBMIT ◦Application merges selected .dotm file with the information in table CONTACTS for the selected CONTACTID ◦Merged document is saved on the user Desktop as xxx.docx
I wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?
Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.
I'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.
I have a .accdb Access 2010 (new laptop) database I want to work on in Access 2007 (old desktop) - but it won't let me. Says "you must have at least version 14.000" But in 2010, when I do a File>Save database there aren't any other options other than .accdb.
