Replicate Split Form In Web Compatible Database?
Apr 10, 2015
This Access database is Web Compatible and is hosted on SharePoint. I have a form with a subform that display collections of records. As you can see in the attached image, the user selects a record from the combo box which filters the form/subform below. Each record will contain more than 1 item.
What I want to do is mimic a "Split Form". But, the last thing that is missing is being able to select an item from the subform (datasheet view) which displays several items in the record and have that item be displayed in the form. Currently, I have to use the record selector buttons at the bottom of the form to have the item I want displayed in full. But I want to be able to click the item in the subform and have it populate in the main form on this page.

Hi,
I have a database that I have successfully replicated. It includes forms, queries and tables. Synchronizing works and all is good, but.....from what I keep reading on this forum, this is not the proper way to do it. It sounds like what I should be doing is splitting my database before replicating, and then just replicating the back-end.
When I do this, I find that when using the forms, etc. in the front end, I am unable to synchronize to the back end. I don't even have the option to do it through the menu options.
How do I make the front end recognize that the backend is replicated??

I am trying to copy/replicate an Access 2007 database. My objective is to have a new copy of the database, without any records in it.
Can't find anything in the Access help about this -- what I find in my old Access 97 does not apply.
Thanks

Am trying to display images on a form in a split database. I add the attachment field to the associated form's table and add the attachment control to the form but cannot get the image(s) to display on the form (the control remains blank). I can add the image(s) in table view (and display them) but double clicking on the form control also does nothing.
I think I must be doing at least the basics correctly as if I try the same thing to an earlier, non-split version of the database, all works as expected.Are there additional steps required to do this thing in a split database?

I have a 2007 back-end db on a network share and around 15 regular users who access it through their own front-end db/interface. One user on Windows 7 is able to launch and use his front-end copy fine except when he goes to launch one form for data entry.
This form clocks and freezes the entire application. I sat with him and was able to determine that the issue is that the form_load code is never running. He clicks on the button to launch the form (done in vba) and the code never runs. If he opens the form in design view first then changes to form view, the code runs fine and there are no issues. This is his present work-around, but I had to give him an unlocked FE copy to pull it off (not ideal!).
I tried this with him on different PCs, with different front-end copies, and even in the back-end copy. Same result each time. None of the other users have this issue, and he can replicate this issue on different PCs. I'm at a loss for what might be causing this since it really seems so user-specific.

I have a split DB that is in its (hopefully) finally stages of development. Using Access 2010. It is being developed both at work and at home on a 64 bit machine. The remainder of the machines are 32 bit.
All of a sudden one of my most basic sets of code doesn't want to work, but only on my machine at work. It works fine on my home computer and on other computers at work. It is the simplest of codes, run from frmNameA:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmNameB", acNormal, , "[SequenceNumber] = " & Me![SequenceNumber], acFormEdit, acWindowNorm
The desired sequence of events is to open frmNameA, find the active clients and then click on the [SequenceNumber] to bring up the related record on frmNameB.
When I do this on my computer at work, it asks for the query criteria for the [SequenceNumber] and the criteria for another field. On the home computer and others at work, it works just fine.
In a related problem, I have the following code on the OnLoad event for frmNameB. It opens all the related records for active clients that are in frmNameB. But if there are no related records, it is supposed to cancel the event. Again, it works fine on my home computer and others at work, but not my work computer.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'code when opened from frmNameA and no record exists in frmNameB
Dim MyReply
If ClientID = "" Or IsNull(ClientID) Then
MyReply = MsgBox("No record exits in frmNameB, Do You Want to Exit?", vbOKOnly)
If MyReply = vbOK Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmNameB", acSaveNo
End If
End If
End Sub
What I can't figure out is why this may be happening, where I might look for errors, and what I might do to correct this.

I have an Access 2010 database that I have split. In the database I have a couple tables, forms and two reports. I have entered some data into one of the tables, but when I go to edit the data in the form the next time, there is no data (though I have verified that there is data in the table). Also, there are two reports that can pull the data without any problem.
Why the data wouldn't show up in the form.

I have two tables, [ATWelding] and [Results] . They are linked as they both have Weld ID.I want query to show any ATWeld ID that doesnt match a Weld ID in [Results].I can't use SQL as my database is on the web compatible platform. I attempted to do this using InStr([Results]![Weld ID]) in my Weld ID ATWelding criteria on a query but as I am using the web version an error message saying the expression is not compatible with the web is being displayed. I can run the query in my web database?

I have a command button opening a separate form from my main form page. After I enter in data in the main form, hit the command button and enter data in the second form. When I close this form I get the error message "you can't add or change a record because a related record is required in table "master table'.
In my master table I have a primary key called "ID" set to autonumber. I believe the problem is this field should be replicated to the secondary table but it's not.
How can I fix this?

:confused: I have read a quite a few threads on spiting the database. My database is 50 Meg and running very slow. I have compacted and repair, still the same. This just happen all of sudden. Could that be possible?. What should I look out before I try to spit it?. It’s given that I will make a backup. I am running Access 2003. I have over 150 users.

I am almost at the finishing line with a great deal of help from here.
I have now normalised the tables, built complicated queries, forms, reports, all from scratch as I knew absolutely nothing before I started with Access three months ago.
I have compacted and repaired the database using the wizard, and also complied the code and analyzed all tables, forms, queries, and reports and relationships.
The final step is to make it an MDE file so that it can go on the local network at work (not on the internet).
My questions are these;
Do I need to split the database into front and back ends?
If I save a copy of the original MDB file and then make it a MDE file would that not suffice in making it run more efficiently?
Can a split MDB database be made into an MDE database?
Any advice, as always, is most welcome.

I have a database that resides on a file server share. I have split the database to create a backend. I then posted a shortcut of the front end to the desktops of two users who have access to the share. I then tried to access the front end from the two machines simultaneously. It opened on the first PC but not the second? When I viewed the server share it had a 'padlock' icon?
Where am I going wrong? This is the first time I have attempted this scenario!!
Thanks in advance,
Phil

Hello,
Should splitting only be done when all tables,queries,forms,reports, etc. are done. Or can it be done anytime. I am almost to that stage but didnt want to jump the gun and run into problems later on.
Thanks.
I will have about 20 users sharing this.

I was having a discussion with Rickster57 concerning my newly developed database, and he recommended that I split it so that it has a front end and a back end. Rick listed a number of very good reasons for doing this (so I will definitely do it). But I wanted to pose the question so I could get some of the reasons the more seasoned Access programmers have for creating a front and back end to their programs.

I recently split my database and also used Bob Larson's Autoupdating tool. Everything appeared to be working fine until a few users were unable to access the db. I later found out that because they are at a different site, they don't map to the server that houses the database BE. However, even if they manually map to the correct server, they are unable to bring up the db Form. They get an error stating the BE "...is not a valid path". My questions are:
1) If I were to copy all the files (the Master FE, BE, and MDE) to a public folder that ALL users have access to, will everyone be able to bring up the database Form?
2) How would this affect what was already set up when I ran Bob Larson's utility (or even the splitting and MDE creation)?
3) Is there a way to "Undo" what was previously "Done" to this database (ie: Splitting, Larson Utility, MDE creation) in order to correct the issue, or do I need to start from scratch and split the database while it's on a Public drive.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi!
I just want to know that " How to split the Access database in Front End and Back End application"? I am creating a database that i want to store on server and simultaneously want to give access to 20 terminals (cleints) to access the database.
Secondly, I have to provide a field in a form "Document number". However as per the requirement user can enter "PIR No", "Serial No" or at times both as document number. Both the things "PIR No" and "Serial No" have different format types like "PIR No 001" and "Srl No001".
On basis of document number later i have to give the option to search the particular document. Please guide me how to provide the option to enter the field values.
Appreciate any help on above.
Regards,
Nick

I am combining 12 Databases. I have split all 12 between the server and the desktop. My question is “Should I combing all of the data table on the server into one database or should I leave all of the individual application data tables in separate Databases on the server”. Additionally, is there a limit to the number of tables an Access DB can handle? My inclination is to keep the functionality separated but the problem I have is that some of the functionality within the applications overlap. Recommendations!

'ello all,
The moment of truth finally came and I split my database FE/BE for testing only the truth was a bit sour.
Background:
I have several forms in my database that have a common series of buttons at the top which open their corresponding form. Before the split, everything was fine - you can click on the button and the desired form would open. After the split, I'm getting the error message:
"Microsoft Office Access couldn't find the toolbar 'EVM Database Menu'."
This is referencing a toolbar that I used during development to help jump to forms.
I tried removing the toolbar from each form (Tools > Customize > Toolbars > unchecked the custom toolbar), and re-split the database FE/BE ends, but to no avail..
So, I checked the event codes to be sure I didn't program something wrong. There are 9 buttons total to open forms, 7 of them give this problem, the remaining 2 do not. The code for the problematic and non-problematic ones are identical!
Example - Non-Working (error message re: Custom Toolbar):
-----------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cmdActuals_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdActuals_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmDataActuals"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_cmdActuals_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdActuals_Click:
MsgBox err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdActuals_Click
End Sub
Example - Working (no error message):
-----------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cmdPerfProj_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdPerfProj_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmPerfProj"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_cmdPerfProj_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdPerfProj_Click:
MsgBox err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdPerfProj_Click
End Sub
Questions:
So..this has nothing to do with code, it must be a problem in the linking somehow, right? A bug possibly? What else could be causing this? More importantly, is there a solution to my predicament that anyone could help out with? Searches so far have returned no help either from forums (including here), MS site (no Q-articles), and VBA Help. I'll continue searching though.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
as an attempt to improve database performance, I have split a MS Access 2003 database. I have successfully split the database and saved the backend onto the server. My question is, where is the front end. or do I have to create it?
Cheers.

I have a database that I've created for someone else to use. It's split into a front and back end. The user will be placing the front end on her desktop PC and the back end on a network server.
She also will be taking the database home to use from time to time. My problem is that when the database is split, upon opening, it looks for the back end on the network drive, which is unavailable when she's away from the office.
Is there a way to tell the Access to look in a directory relative to the one it's in?
