Simple Front End Update

Jul 28, 2006

I see a lot of really interesting ways to do this via code as an automated action, but what I can't seem to find is how to do this manually?? I will look into the automation at a later time and probably use some of these wonderful ideas. For the moment, however, I just need to know a simple way to update my front end table after I have redesigned it in the back end. MSAccess help files can't seem to point me in the right direction. I've already changed my back end table, but can seem to make those changes reflect in the front end. I would appreciate any help with this, thanks.

Auto-Update Front End Question

Feb 6, 2007

I was looking at Bob Larson's utility posted here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=111132) and I have a question. Maybe I'm being dense (I probably am) but the loading page on my form looks like this:

I was just wondering if Bob (or someone else) can tell me what the difference is between the first and third options on this page?

General :: Can't Update Front End To ACCDB

Mar 3, 2013

I am in the process of updating a database to 2010 (.accdb) and cannot get past a problem. We are using Access 2010.

I updated the back end data to .accdb with no problem. I can't link the front end to that data without updating the front end to .accdb as well. There are no tables in the front end.

I try to update the front end to /accdb and I get the error message 'You are trying to convert an encoded database. Decode the database, then try again.'

How do I decode the database? I tried setting a password and then unsetting it, but that made no difference. I have not previously encoded the database.

can't finish the update to .accdb data. The alternative is to stay with 2003 MDB data. Is that a bad thing?

General :: Update Front End With New Back End File Location

Dec 12, 2013

Access 2010

Objective?: I'm attempting to change the file location of the back end portion of my split database.

What I've done so far: I've used the linked table manager to update the back end location of all tables in the front end portion of the database.

Symptoms: When making a change to the OLD back end: If I change the name or move the old back end and then try to re-open the front end, Access opens as if I'm opening the application itself without any database associated with it until I restore the OLD back end to its appropriate state.

When making a change to the NEW back end: If I change the name or move the new Back end and then try to re-open the front end, I get a: "Could not find file" error message until I restore the new back end to it's appropriate state.

I've just discovered a query that I think put me one step closer to resolving this issue. [URL] .....

When I run this query:

Code:
SELECT MSysObjects.Database
FROM MSysObjects
GROUP BY MSysObjects.Database, MSysObjects.Type
HAVING (((MSysObjects.Type) In (4,6)));

It returns 2 results:
1. The path of my old back end
2. The path of my new back end.

Unfortunately I'm not able to update the values from the Datasheet, but this does confirm to me that the old back end is still some how being used by the front end even after my tables have all been updated.

Simple Update

Feb 5, 2008

I am a very new Access user. Just getting into it. I have created a database and want to do something that seems simple to me but I can't figure it out.

I have a database containing membership information for a local fishing club.

I want to be able to create a situation where I can do the following.

Enter a membership number and have the members info displayed so that I can then make any changes and update it. I want to be able to do this one member at a time so that I can update as changes come in.

Can anyone help.

Simple Inventory Update From Form

Nov 28, 2006

Hello. I'm trying to design a simple database for a bicycle recycling charity. I hit a brick wall when realising that I had never before attempted to update a record. :eek: Until now I've just used Access to add new members to a bus user's organisation.

If the shop takes delivery of 20 tyres, I need to add 20 to the current stock.

Is it possible to achieve a simple Form that adds to or subtracts a quantity from current stock, or do I have to learn some access programming?

I've looked through some textbooks and can't find a simple update solution.

Thanks for any suggestions. :o

Simple (?) Form Value Update Question

Feb 23, 2005

I am trying to update the value in one field (RUS Prop Class Document) of a form based upon what is selected in another field (RUS Prop Class Code). I plan on this being a hidden field so I was creating an after update expression in [RUS Prop Class Code]. My problem is that the value returned is the very nice and working query but not the value of the query. I'm missing something that I think is simple but cannot figure out with my limited resources and late hours.

Here is what I have for the after update expression in [RUS Prop Class Code]:

Private Sub RUS_Prop_Class_Code_AfterUpdate()
[RUS Document].Value = "Select [tbl_List of RUS Classifications].[RUS Prop Class Document] " & _
"FROM [tbl_List of RUS Classifications] " & _
"WHERE [tbl_List of RUS Classifications].[RUS Prop Class ID] =" & Me.[RUS Prop Class Code] & ";"
End Sub

Thanks ahead of time

Update Textbox Problem (Not As Simple As It Sounds)

Feb 6, 2008

Hello,
I am still wet behind the ears in regard to Access so your help and support is much needed.

I have created a form in Access where i am having trouble with a textbox. In short this box is called [Shift] i want it to be populated by the result the system returns in another Textbox which is called [Time], this box is set up as Time().
So below is what i need it to do when the Form is used.

Textbox: [Time] = (07:00 - 14:59) would return "Earlies" in Textbox: [Shift]
Textbox: [Time] = (15:00 - 22:59) would return "Lates" in Textbox: [Shift]
Textbox: [Time] = (23:00 - 06:59) would return "Nights" in Textbox: [Shift]

I have tried the VBA below without success in this task so i can only assume it is due to the fact that the Time field is system generated or the fact it is in time format:

Private Sub Time_AfterUpdate()

If Me.Time >= "23:00 And < 06:59" Then

Me. Shift = "Nights"

End If
End Sub


Any Help you give is much needed, Thanks

Simple: Create A New Record, Update Old Form

Apr 12, 2005

Hi... I searched quick, didn't find anythign, but you guys are so responsive... :D

Question:
Part 1. On TimeSheet form, I want to click to "create new job", and the Jobs Form opens, at a new record. Currently it opens at record 1.

Part 2. I foresee that when I return from the modal job form, the old form (timesheet) would not have updated the combobox to show the jobname I just entered.

I guess this is what subforms are, because I keep reading about them, but dunno what they are.

Thanks

Tables :: Simple Cascade Update Not Working

Oct 29, 2013

I've done this tons of times, so I don't understand what's happening... The title says it all: when I update the ID of one record of the main table, the referenced records on related tables won't update even though they have a relationship between them with the option "Cascade update" clicked.

In the attached database, the main table "Expedientes" is related to table "Actuaciones".

Simple Question For A Simple DB

Dec 29, 2006

Ok I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?

Front End Distribution

May 16, 2006

I have read every post here on "distribution" and "deploying" the front end to the users but can't seem to get how to do it. I see many posts regarding updating the front end and using the runtime version to distribute but can't seem to understand how to initially get the database out to my users.

I have a split db and need to distribute it to about 20+ people. The back end will reside on a shared drive that is mapped the same on everyone's machine.
I also have the FE on the same drive and am currently using a batch file run from a link on our website to open it, therefore we are all using the same front end which is what I am trying to eliminate.

Can I just zip up my FE and email it to my users? Will that maintain the links to the back end when they unzip it to their desktop?

Also, I would like to get some feedback on some software I am thinking of buying for pushing out my updated databases in the future. It is called Access Frontend Loader
http://www.frontend-loader.com/

Has anyone used this before? Would appreciate any thoughts on it or any other program you may have used in the past.

Thanks

DB Design Up Front

Sep 20, 2006

I am trying to create a Preventive Maintenance Program for my facility,

I will create maintenance tasks:
[ID],[Dept.],[Machine],[Task],[Frequency],[Completed Date],[Due Date]

Simple tasks,

Up front design help,

I will want the task to stay in the task table and the Due Date to be calculated combining the [completed date] & [Frequency]

Simple not a problem,

Here is my problem:
I will need to create a task history table that will contain the Task details and the Completed date each time I complete the task; therefore my thought is that i will need to send the task detail to a history table each time it is complete, so I thought Append Query; but the problem is that it appends all of the records in the task table each time you run it including the tasks that have been appended on previous query runs.

any thoughts on how to capture the task details for a specific record and send them to a history table ?

Back End And Front End

Oct 19, 2007

Hi friends,

I think I am having some problem with my back end and frond end files. I have a mde file that anytime I enter new data or change some things in the old clients file, it does not update on the mdb file. Anytime I need to change forms or report or any thing at all, I am suppose to copy the BE file and the MDB file to my workstatio, remove the table link, make the changes I want to make on the design mode and then import the files back to the live copy of the mdb file then make another mde file to work with. But When I copy the BE and the MDB files, I don't have the updated client list or new client just added. So as not to affect other users, I can not make changes in the MDE file and even the MDE file will not even let me make any changes in design mode. I don't know If I am making sense but any help will be appreciated

thanks

Front End And Back End

Oct 27, 2007

I am having a trouble with a multiuser DB. I have split it using the Splitter Wizard and have put a copy of my FE to a second computer and relinking its tables. When I opening the bound form in computer 1, computer 2 can not open that form and sometimes computers lock and had to restart the machines. But if I open that form in computer 2 first and then the same form in computer 1 , it works fine. I have set full sharing to computer 1. I am using Access 2007 and Windows VISTA.

Both have FE, the BE is located in a shared folder with full permissions in C: in computer 1, the FE of computer 1 is in that same folder. Both computers are connected via a Cat5e Cable.

FE in computer1 table links to c:databaseBE and computer 2 links to computer1_IP_Addressc:/databaseBE


Can anyone help me please!!!

I'd appreciate it a lot

Thank you!!

Thoughts On VB.Net Front End

Nov 21, 2007

I have a wonderful database I designed almost 2 years ago. Other than a few hiccups with corrupted data (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=135483), my employer is 100% satisfied with it.

I’m graduating this winter with an AS in computer programming and I would like to update the database to a VB/ADO .NET (VS 2003) front end before I leave. Being a VB developer, I have had my fair share of “quick fixes” when I could not work out a solution with VBA. VBA is the evil twin of VB lol.

Other than PHP w/ MySQL I have never used two separate entities for data management. It’s always been strictly MS Access as the database and front end.

So my question is what major differences should I expect that I took for granted with MS Access’s built in functionality? Such as subforms with master/child properties, navigation, printing reports etc. Will I have to write code for every little detail that MS Access handled for me?

What are your thoughts on using VB.NET as a front end? Did the pros out weigh any cons from your experience with this setup? Any thoughts on using Crystal Reports?

Looking For A Front End For Access

Nov 28, 2007

Hello
I'm looking for a web based front end to put on my access database. Due to the way our work site is set up and the people who will be entering some of the data my boss wants it to be accessed through a web browser. Infopath wont let me enter data into an access database through a web browser and with DAPs becoming a thing of the past we dont really want to use them either. Some of the forms will be used for raw data collection while others will be used to fill out spill reports (i work in an environmental department) so we can get the information quickly. We have tried just using access to run everthing but have meet alot of resistance as most of the people who enter the data hate it. I also had someone enter half a spill report into an SQL sequence once..dont even know how he got there. That is the main reason we are looking for a web based data entry system. I dont believe my boss wants to use anything but access for the storage. So basicly we are just looking for a way for people to use a web browser to enter data into an access database. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Relationships In Front End

Oct 28, 2004

Hello,

I have a backend database and front end mdb file with forms. I established the necessary relationships in the back end, however when I open Relationships screen in the front end - it opens empty. Do I have to establish same relationships in the front end or can I leave it as it is and still have my relationships work as defined in the front end?

Maybe someone could help.

thanks

Hi there, :cool:

I've one FE & BE related question here. Ok first of all I've BE in server and each user have copy of FE in local PC. But I've one problem with linked tables between FE & BE.

All replies are welcome and well approciated at all costs! :D

Access DB With Excel Front End

May 23, 2005

i am creating a database that will house some supplier information. once designed, the db will be populated with all the data and then it will be used as a reference tool for future projects.

it was requested that an "excel front end" be used for lookup and ease of use to access the data when it is finished... i am not really sure how that works.

also, what is the best way to create contingent variables in access-- for example, if a certain value is in the database then you have a corresponding action. like if there were a field asking how many suppliers there were, and if say the number is 4, then 4 entry windows come up. a sort of if/then statement?

i hope this makes sense. thanks a whole lot
