The short Questions:
1) How do I safely remove replication from a copy of an MS Access 2003
database? Safely as in without affecting any of the other replicated copies?
2) How can I find all the copies of this database still being replicated to
after the design master has been lost?
The long Questions:
Hello All, I’m new to Access replication and have started at a company that
uses several Access databases with replication. We are creating a new site
using a similar database structure. I’ve made a copy and would like to start
by removing replication both because it is not necessary in our environment.
Also I’m about to make some database changes and am worried they changes or
record deletions will be propagated. As mentioned I do not believe there is
any reason to use replication for this project so I would like to remove it
for all databases, unfortunately several of the databases are very critical
so I want to be as informed as I can before making any changes since if I
break it and do not know enough to fix it my company would loose a lot of
money. Is there anyway from a given database (besides the replication master,
it has been long lost) to find all the databases that are replicated?
Lastly before undertaking this project is there any advice anyone here can
give me to better my chances of success? Any lessons learned?

I am getting the following error when Synchronizing Now for Replicated database. The total database size is only 22 megs (contains reports and forms). This just started happening recently, otherwise it was fine before. My machine is running WinXP Pro SP2 (with latest service pacs) on an AMD DualCore 3800 with 1gig RAM. Once you hit the OK it continues and competes successfully (at least it look OK). Any ideas what this could be or to eliminate it popping up? I run the database with minimum of programs at the same time.
Hello All At the moment when I click a button an Excel File Opens and Access closes (the Excel File cannot do what its supposed to do unless Access is closed). Is there a way of quitting safely?
When the user clicks the button a message pops up saying Press cancel and save if you already havent saved
Then I use:
DoCmd.Save Application.FollowHyperlink "MY FILE LOCATION" DoCmd.QUIT
I'm using Access 2000. I want to remove a field from an existing table and I'm not sure if this field is used in any of the existing queries, I really don't want to have to manually check all 100 queries to see if it's been used. Is there a query, macro or ??? I can write to do this? How?
Hi all, i tried searching, but didn't really come up with an answer
i have an access database I'm trying to link up dynamically with a website, but everytime i try to link up to fields from tables in the databse, i'm getting an error claiming i dont have permission. i have administrator access to the files, yet it's always happening. im under the impression the only thing is remove all the security levels and groups/users so there are none in place, but i wouldnt want to have to copy+ paste everything
is there an easy way to remove the security so i can use it dynamically on a webpage? if i have to make a new database, is there an easy way to copy it all?
i once saw an access database that gave the user to the option to hide the access screen that is usually behind the windows of your actual database. how do i do this? also if anyone has any other useful tips for making a database look more professional. is there an easy way to do splash screens? thnx for the help.
I did not know where to ask this question or how to ask, so please excuse me.
We have an Access 2007 database that updates an Access 2003 database. My problem is, the data in 2007 is formatted and when the 2003 table is updated, it displays the html formatting tags. Is there a way to remove the formatting (convert to plain text from rich text?) during the update?
just finding my way in Access 97 with no real support. I have made a query that creates duplicate records when I only need to see one for a certain criteria (lets say criteria X). This is due to the data feed involved in making the query where criteria X is found in numerous records.
What I want to display is only one record per entry containing an exact match for criteria X.
Finding it hard to articulate this but I would need something that defines:
If criteria X is the same, just display one record.
Hope this is somehow clear as I am struggling a bit. Would be gratefull of some help.
To remove the file button from access. however the more commands button in the quick access toolbar renders this method pointless unless i can remove the more commands button. How to remove the "customise quick access" button or failing that how to remove the more commands button?
I am very new to access less than 1 week since i started trying to build an horse racing database, i am trying to link data from 2 different sources via the horses name however one source displays this with the horses country of origin in parenthesis foe example FRANKEL(GB) and the other source displays the name as just FRANKEL, to be honest i haven't yet tried the link but guess it will fail.
I am therefore looking to get rid of the parentheses and their contents from an access table field and create another field without them.
In Excel i use the formula B1:
=TRIM(REPLACE(A1,FIND("(",A1&"("),FIND(")",A1&")")-(FIND("(",A1&"(")-1),"")) and that works fine.
I guessed the solution for Access would be newname:
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard. But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007. I can't use the Package Wizard.
I have two database applications and they are: - the (A) application is for administration use. - the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables Dim db As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri Masonry NSW');'
Attached 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.
I am working on a massave aplication that has been running in Access 2000, but recently several of the file sharing users have installed Access 2003 because of the limited availability of Access 2000. All the users are using the same file off the server.
The problem we are having is that when we reference a subform in the "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName]![FeildName]" Access 2003 does not recognize it and returns an error. I have found that if I will modify it to "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName].[Form]![FeildName]" it is recognized in both 2000 and 2003.
To try and change every instance of a subform reference will take forever and I am garuteed to overlook something. We reference subforms all over our program, missing any one of them would be a disaster. Before I went to the tedious task of looking through everything I just wanted to throw the situation out there and see if any of you had any great ideas on how to get it fixed efficiently. I would apreciate any ideas.
I upgraded a 2000 db to 2003 recently. When I ran the function below it gave me an error on the line in green. Any thoughts? Thanks. Const FIRSTROW = 13

I have an Access DB that I created in Access XP. It works perfectly when used in Access XP. When used in an Access 2003 environment some of the functions don't work anymore. I have users who use Office XP and users who use Office 2003. Does anybody know how to make this DB work in Access 2003 without having to do wholesale code changes?
I have already changed the security to "Low" to bypass the security feature built in in Jet 4.0 but it didn't help. I might have to uninstall Windows XP SP2 to make it work because I know that the application works in an Office 2003 environment with Windows XP SP1 only. But I'm trying to avoid having to uninstall XP SP2 because it's a pain. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
My workstation environment is as follows:
OS: Windows XP SP2 Office: Office 2003 SP1 Jet: 4.0
I've created a database in access 2003 with the default file format being Access 2000. Everything works fine on my computer and many others, all of whom are running different versions of access (2000, 2002 & 2003).
I have not had any problems with this database until recently and in the last few weeks we have had 2 users, both of them being Access 2000 users who have had the same problem.
The problem they are having is that when they click on any of the switchboard items, the buttons depress an then come back up again when the cursor is moved away, but nothing else happens - no action, no error message - nothing!!! Its the same for all of the buttons on the switchboard.
Does anyone know what is causing this? I have another computer with Access 2000 on it and this works fine, as it does on several other computers runiing Access 2000, I just cannot understand why it is not working on these 2 particular machine.......
I have recently installed access 2003 w/access 97 installed both are on my hard drive. When I create a new db in access 2003 it saves it in an access 2000 format. Does any one know why it does this?
I have two questions related to deplying an Access project I have been working on.
1. I started developing the project in Access 2000, but midway upgraded to Office 2003 and so the remainder of the project has been developed in Access 2003. Things seem to be fine, except that in the top most title bar, after the project name, there appears the following text:
xxxxx: Database (Access 2000 file format)
where xxxx is the name of the .mdb file.
Why is this appearing and should I have done something or do something to make it a Access 2003 format?
2. I am at the point of deplying the db to a small group of users (about 5). Some of them may have Access 2000 or Access 2002. Should I be doing something in particular to make sure things work in their machines. Any pointers to what may be problems or what I should do will be much appreciated.
A few years ago I’ve made an access database on access 2000. The problem is that now I’ve installed the office 2003, and I can’t make the database work properly.
At first says that are missing those files: “tshoot.ocx”, “msioff9.ocx” and “msowc.dll”; so, I’ve copy them from another computer using office 2000 and now only complains about “msioff9.ocx” saying that my database contains a reference incomplete to it.
Is there no other way to convert my database do work properly with access 2003? What can I do?
I have an Access db that is going to be shared by two different users. One user has Access 2003 and the other has Access 2002. Will there be any problems using this setup if both the users are accessing the MDB file at the same time?
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.
