How To Split Up This String
Sep 15, 2005I have a string:
Cars > Car Import > Car Import: Car Import
The first section is the Category, the second is the Product, the third is the SubProduct and the fourth is the keyword.
What is the best way to split each of these words into its own variable? I think I can do the first and end one but not the Car Import and Car Import one.
Thanks,
Dave

Split Or Not To Split ?
Jul 19, 2006Hi. I am trying to creat some sort of security for my database so none else make changes to design of the database apart from me. I have got a small database that i run on the company network i work for. all the staffs have a short cut of this database on ther desktop where they can add/edit/view data and unfortunatly able to change design of the database if i havent set the startup to only show switchboard. what I want is this:
Open database, switchboard popup and nothing else(ie. database window where you can see table,forms,queries)..sounds simple..but havent able to do it..
people say use database split...not so sure on...by the way, I DONT WANT OTHER USERS TO HAVE PASSWORD TO ACCESS THE DATA...hint,,no password and user name popups....
i am kinda new to access,,pleeeeeeeease help
Hi. I am trying to complete my access database by creating some security for it. I want to know how to setup the database file so when I execute, let say in my document folder so that when it opens it only shows my switchboard and not the editable(table,queries...) panel on the left hand side. I know i can hide it via the startup option but I want to completly blocking it so it doesn't allow any user to edit the design of the database.
If anyone can help I realy appreciate it...thank you
Split DB
Mar 17, 2005I know that this might be extremely obvious to most people, but at the risk of sounding stupid I'm going to ask it anyway. I plan to share my split DB over the network. I know that the BE will be hidden from the view of most people so they won't try to meddle with it, but which would be better for the FE, should it be accessed by all of the users, or should they each create their own shortcuts, or does it even matter?

Split A Day Into Two?
Feb 21, 2008HI THERE AGAIN!
I have these two fields:
"DateOfCase" and "AM/PM"
And I want them to have them linked so that no one else can have the same time in the court.
For example:
I booked the morning (AM) in a court for today (21/2/08). Somebody may want to book for the same day and can do so BUT he/she can only booked for the afternoon (PM) session of that day.
Is this possible to do?
Why Is Split Db So Slow?
Apr 29, 2005Hi all
I have an Access 2003 db that works extremely well as a stand-alone application but I am keen to “split” it so that many users can operate it together.
Accordingly I did the split and placed the tables on our server, and tried running the front end locally.
Much to my horror, it takes about a minute to open, and many seconds to do anything after a button press etc.
I have been testing it on my wireless home network and the same thing happens, except now I can monitor network activity from the “network working” light.
What I see baffles me and would welcome comments, in particular, what I can do to speed it up by a factor of 100!
1.It takes forms about 50 seconds to open; however, this is due to about 40 seconds of network activity BEFORE the form’s load event fires!
2.In DESIGN mode, any minor change to a control for example, results in about 40 seconds network activity.
3.All queries upon which forms are based take well under a second to run over the network.
4.Making an mde file has no effect.
I thought the idea of splitting was to keep the forms/queries/code etc, local to a machine so I don’t understand what all the network activity is about, particularly in design mode. Also, given the actual queries are so fast, just what is Access doing??
Any comments please?

Split DB, Keeps Locking Up
May 24, 2005Hi, I just recently split my Access db (FE/BE), copied the FE to each of the clients, and it seemed to be working fine. This morning however, two users went into the db, and the second user kept getting the error can't find the file \servernameshare_namedb_fe.mdb. Now, none of my users can launch it. How can I resolve this? Will this keep happening?

Split The Database, Should I Do It?
Jan 12, 2006: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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSplit An MDE Database?
Aug 12, 2006I 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.
Split Database
Nov 21, 2006I 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,

Editing After FE/BE Split
Nov 21, 2006I created a database a while back. It was complete to my standards at the time. I split it FE and BE to protect the data.
Since then, I have made several changes on my machine to the user interface and some of the back end tables and queries.
How do I insure that these changes are seen on all the different computers on my network?
They only seem to exist on my personal machine.
When To Split Database?
Dec 21, 2006Hello,
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.
Why Should I Split My Database?
Dec 27, 2006I 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSplit One Field In To Two - How?
Feb 18, 2007I have a table that holds 250 records, and dont really want to split manually as the saving grace is that each record, has a hyphen that marks the point where the split needs to take place.
For example, the field currently holds
'Movicol sachets - 1 or 2 sachets dissolved in water at 21.30'
That is stored in 1 field, I now need to be stored in to 2 fields, whilst removing the hyphen, and spacing immediately before and after so it works out like this.
Field 1 = Movicol sachets
Field 2 = 1 or 2 sachets dissolved in water at 21.30
I know it can be done using either a query or VBA, but I am not sure which function/procedure/command I need to use to carry this out. Any assistance would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks.
Database Split
Jun 29, 2007I 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.

Split And Replicate
Mar 7, 2008Hi,
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??

Split Db And Relationships
Oct 12, 2005Hi!
I was just wondering about the relationships between tables in a split BE/FE setup. If you have set up the relationships in the BE, do you need the same relations set up in the FE relationship window?
Any insights to this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
