Retro View Of Access 2007
Jun 12, 2007Any way of turning the clock back with my new 2007 so I can see the old or what might be termed the 'classic layout' of Access, please?

Access 2007 Not Saving Changes In Design View
Oct 29, 2012I'm working on an Access 2007 database and any changes I make to a form or control will not save. I click the save button, and try keyboard shortcuts but when I close the form I get a prompt "Do you want to save changes to <whatever>":
If I click "Yes" the changes still do not save and I when I close the form it starts the cycle over.If I click "No" the form closes and the changes are not saved (obviously).
There is no VBA in the project but I've still tried a recompile as suggested for older versions of Access but no luck. There are quite a few embedded macros but I'm not sure how they could be causing this.
Retro-fit Workgroup Authority Model To An Access 2000 Application
Jan 31, 2006Hi,
I've been working hard at learning Access for past two months and spent a lot of time Googling and speeding through Alison Balter's books and at a slower pace the Paul Letwin’s Developers Handbook set (fantastic but I probably need a year to absorb the incredible detail).
I've built a prototype reconciliation tool using the recommended FE-BE model. I opted for a total ADO solution and have had great success in putting together a fast and useful tool for 10+ users.
I avoided using Workgroups in my design and developed my own basic sign-on authority model which allowed an Administrator (don't confuse with Admin user in Workgroups) to add new users who can use the Access app. The allowable users and which ones are signed on are stored in the BE. This all works reasonable well until network issues occur and the signed on user record on the BE is not reset as should be if the user signed-off genuinely.
This is where I realised I need to be able to monitor who is connected to the BE. There is a way of doing that using ADO which I can get to work. I then noticed because all users are signed on with Workgroup Admin as default I could not differentiate between users. I then decided to implement Workgroup authority retrospectively.
I decided to place the .mdw on the LAN with the BE (this seems to go against conventional wisdom but could not workout how else I could achieve what I wanted to). This enables the two Administrators in different places to maintain users via the FE. I use the /wrkgrp command line flag to point to the correct .mdw.
I then started getting all sort of problems . . .I'm still in testing . . . not so bad but deadlines are looming and I'm worried.
Sorry, I digress. . .the problem I seem to be getting is when I open the FE :
Run-time error -2147217843 (80040e4d)
Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user
I also have problems developing the FE with the workgroup file in place. It seems to complain about another user is locking the FE.
The problem is a little verbose but just trying to paint a picture . . .now, this is what I'm after. . .I need the following ability:
1. Two Administrators who can maintain users. When a new user is added the Administrator chooses a password.
2. When the new user signs on the user is prompted to enter new password.
3. The administrators can view who is genuinely signed on and reset accounts appropriately.
I am currently studying the Access Security sections in the Paul Letwin book to better understand what is going on. It does seem retro-fitting an app to a workgroup model is not straightforward. Admittedly, I should have considered Workgroups in my design before starting (I will know).
Thanks for staying with me if you're still reading . . .any suggestion/pointers would be great.
Lastly, using Access 2000 : O/S W2000
Tables :: Access 2007 / Data Not Visible In Table Datasheet View?
Dec 10, 2012I have recently been modifying an existing Access 2007 database, everything seems to be working correctly, except that the main table holding most of the data is acting strangely.
If opened in database view, it is completely blank - no column headers, no data. Record count is correct and I can step through/select records, but there's just nothing visible at all.
The data clearly still exists as it can still be viewed in forms / queries / reports.
Only thing I can think of is that I have deleted a bunch of outdated queries & reports and it's possible that one or more of them may be cross-referenced with the table in another query, but still can't see why that should be causing this problem.

Mar 21, 2008On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce
2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format.
3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ...
4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help:
"ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
I have turned off DEP.
How can I get MS Access 2007 to import Excel?
Thanks

Access 2007 Runtime Not Visible In Access 2007
Nov 26, 2007I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features.
Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing!
Help!
I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?
Forms :: Unable To View Object Properties In Form Design View (Access 2010)
May 16, 2014Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
Can Office Access 2003 Runtime-Based Solutions Applies To Access 2007?

But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007.
I can't use the Package Wizard.

Table Problems Moving From Access 2003 -> Access 2007
Jun 19, 2007Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.
Access 2003 To Access 2007 Split Database
Mar 8, 2007Hi All,
Background Info: I developed our main department's Access 2003 split database which is on a server for 15+ Users. I've now been given Access 2007 for development -- Users still have 2003. There are also 2 other smaller databases that are not split (.mdb).
Problem: In the split database, I've saved the Application .mdb as 2003, relinked and made a new .mde. But the Users still cannot open the database. (I did this in a copy until I figure out the nuances with 2007.) The 2 other unsplit databases can be saved as 2003 version and Users can open OK.
I'm grateful for any suggestions on working with Access 2007. I've been trying to tackle the ribbon which is a whole other question.

Access 2007 To Access 2000 Problem
Dec 17, 2007I have created a database in Access 2007 that now works well, and one that I'm quite proud off. However, I can easily convert it to an Access 2000 format as can anyone else here, but when I load it up there is a major problem.
I have used the tab control in my main form and that has three tabs on it. However, it's positioned correctly in Access 2007 it's not positioned correctly in Access 2000 as I have to move the tab control down a bit, but that would seem fine. So I lowered the tab control form and changed my form layout slightly, but even then the tab control over all over the Access 2000 form whenever I interact with the tabs - most bizzare.
Any help? Thanks.
Access 2007
Mar 18, 2006I recently heard that Access 2007 ( part of MS Office 2007) can be purchased as a stand alone program. This sort of confirms that : look at pricing breakdown on : http://techrepublic.com.com/5254-6257-0.html?forumID=99&threadID=174062&messageID=1961442&id=3053951
Anyone done this already ?

I have downloaded Access 2007 trial, but I don't know how to use some of its features. When I try to open any of my databases saved as A2000, it displays a security message. "Security Warning: Certain content in the database has been disabled"
Is there any way to disable this message?
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Access 2007 & New Jet DBE ?
Nov 11, 2007Hello everybody,
I would like to hear your oppinion about new MS Access Jet db engine
I've been working with MS Access still 10 years, since version 2.0. I used to use MS Accesss for companies size of 10 pc users, and for any bigger company, I used MS Access as front end and MS SQL Server as back-end.
I bought recently MS Office 2007, with MS Access 2007. Before that, I read in one computer journal, that new, Access db Engine is completely made from scratch. And that this new engine is so good, that there are no needs to work with , for example MS SQL 2005 express.
Also, I read, that during development phase of MS OFfice 2007, Microsoft development teams SQL Server and MS Access in Redmond, USA, fought among themselves, about is there need for Jet db engine, or not.
Engineers working in MS SQL development team, made a pressure on Microsoft board, to remove Jet engine from Access, as you can take MS SQL express for free, but on the other hand, MS Access dev. team, replied that new Jet is robust at least as MS SQL express 2005.
So, my question is: what do you think about it, is new Jet db engine, really so good and robust in MS ACcess 2007 ?
with regards,

MS Access 2007 - Oh My God !!
Feb 22, 2008I've been using Access from the beginning, (well v2.0 actually) and felt quite competent. Lots of clients using various versions, still as far back as 97 - but keeping them maintained.
I just got 2007 - and the UI is leaving me totally cold !!
Is there any way that we can have a 'classical view' of menu options etc in 2007 ?
It is taking me ages just to do simple things - as I'm trawling around looking for the options or commands - is there a simple guide to this ?
Also finding a no of things that won't work - again - is there a summary of differences anywhere ?
TIA for any help
