System.MDW File
Jun 18, 2005
I am still a bit confused about the system.mdw file.
I create FE and BE on my local computer and change name of system.mdw to say Jobs.mdw, after backing up system.mdw I then join jobs.mdw with my jobs FE and jobs BE and set secutity settings, etc. I then place
FE, BE and Jobs.mdw all in the same folder.
I now email jobs database with jobs.mdw file to client which places FE, BE and jobs.mdw in Jobs folder on server. Shortcut for fe is placed on each local machine.
My question-Does Jobs FE and Jobs BE still access Jobs.mdw even though placed on another computer and possibly another version of Access?
Does the shortcut have to reference Jobs.mdw?
I need to understand this.
Thanks,
Jim

I recently created a workgroup for an access database and it works fine. But I have other versions of that same database (beta copies) for which I didn't create that workgroup file. They have different names than the first DB for which I made the workgroup.
But even when I open those beta copies it still launches the workgroup file (system.mdw) and prompts me to login. What do I need to do to revert these changes and go back to the unsecured version of my database?
Is it as simple as deleting this file?
Thanks in advance,
Angelo

I am a newbie and I am having a problem with MS Access 2000 security.
I have created a workgroup information file for a database to secure a database using a user level security. Everything seems to work ok if I use this WIF. But if I join the system.mdw file the database is not secure and opens without prompting for login. Please let me know if there is a method to block the user from using the system.mdw file.

Hi
I've done every search I could think of, but haven't come up with a solution.
I'm having a problem with file system security settings of windows 2000.
I have a FE/BE database setup, the BE is stored on a network drive that all users have access to. The FE is stored in the same spot on every workstation (C:dataXXXXXX.mdb). The FEs demonstrate considerable bloat and I understand that the solution is frequent Compact and Repairs.
However, each physical workstation is used by more than one user (different shifts) and the compact process removes the Everyone file system access from the database and replaces it with Administrators, and the current user; thereby preventing anyone other than the compacting individual from accessing the FE on that computer.
Is there a solution??
thanks
Jesse

I have a problem in the copyfile function. It says "CompileError - Expected =" and I am not sure if I am even setting this correctly. This is my code:
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = VBA.CreateObject(filesystemobject)
fso.copyfile(me.txtPath,me.txtarchivepath & me.txtnewfile)
I think the problem is the "filesystemobject bit in the code ....

I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.

Hi, I am trying to implement my Database with an enquiry (or quotation) table and I am not sure I am heading in the right direction:
-We use assemblies made of components and the data are held together in the database with a 'Bill of Material' set up.
-A typical assembly is made of 1 or 2 bodies + Fasteners (straps and screws),
-The body price is calculated depending on his weight and an extra costs can be added with extra tooling and machining,
The costumer ask us for a quotation for various number of assemblies and we send back the estimation of the price,
I am really struggling to see if my tables are set right and this is what I came up with (attached rr.zip):
A main Enquiryfile Table is linked to an enquiryDetail Table which would record each individual item information for each Enquiry.
I have also added a Extracost detail table that would record all the Machining and extra pattern making cost for each assembly.
And finally, and that's what I am far to be sure about, a TblChildItemCost where the price of each components would be recorded (for each enquiry detail). The body price is based on his weight but also depend of various market exchange rates, that is the reason why I have created a table for the price of component for each enquiry.
I really hope someone can help me on that one...Thanks in advance.

Hello,
My application I develop should retrieve some meta data from Access system tables. It should find:
- What tables are stored in database.
- What columns have each table in database.
- What relationships are between tables in database.
I opened systems tables of some .mdb file and took interest in such kind of information. But I got some problems by looking for what exactly I need. Please, could someone help me at these points:
1) I found that in system table MSysObjects I can find names and ids of tables created by user (for example by me). But how to determine that these tables are created by user and they are not let’s say a system tables?
2) I didn’t find any meta data about columns of tables! How to determine what columns has each table?
I created application which uses MS SQL Server to retrieve such a kind of meta information and there where no problems. But I stuck using Access.
I was looking for some information in Internet but ineffectively. Please, help me...

I have two tables, one named Loan and one named DVD Details.
On my DVD details table i have a field name, on_loan with a data type yes/no.
I have created a form called LoanForm where i want to select a DVD with a combo box,
then select a Set loan button that will set the corresponding DVD on_loan field to yes(true), in the dvd form.
on the button i have the following code
Private Sub HireDVDButton_Click()
Update dvd
Set car.on_loan = True
End Sub
But it doesn't seem to set the on_loan field in the DVD table to true, which is what i want to do.
Sorry if it's not clear what i want to do. I am just a beginner.
Thanks in advance :)

Hi there,
I'm working on my A2 IT Access project atm, and my aim is to produce a fully functional db for use by a golf course, incorporating membership information and tee-time reservation system.
I've got the membership side pretty much sorted, so now I need to start work on the reservation system.
But where to start?
Basically, the user needs to be able to view slot availablity on a specific day, and make/change/delete bookings quickly and easily. The booking also needs to contain the party size. The bookings themselves should relate back to the specific member that made it via the MemberID field.
The user should be able to make bookings upto 6months in the future.
Block bookings should also be possible, so that the admin can block an entire day out for a tournament therefore preventing member bookings.
The first available and last available slots also need to be editable by the system admin to take into account time of year, light conditions etc.
Right, so i know there's quite a lot there, and i'm sure i'll come up with more features that would make it better.
But as it stands, that's something to get me started.
I'm not asking for someone to do the project, just to point me in the right direction as to suitable table structure, how to "make" the slots, how to store the bookings in the table, etc.
So, any input and ideas are greatly appreicated.
Cheers
Gavin W

I just found something interesting.
I have a small db open. One form, viewing info.
I notice in Windows Task Manager that MSACCESS.EXE is taking up between 70 to 97% sometimes 100% of systems resources.
How could this be?

Is it possible to loop through all forms within a project and look at its controls? I was requested to change some object names to a more generic name, but I would like to find all references of the form within the Access application. Is there an easy way to do this?
I know that the MSysObjects contains the listing of all forms, but I don't know how to generically type cast a local variable to the form name listed in the table.
Does this make sense? There has to be a way to do this, but I haven't found anything in searching this forum.
Thanks in advance.

I have little experience using Microsoft Access, but am attempting to create an order management system.
I have designed a system to store customer details and allow the entry of orders. I now want to develop this so that the system can handle delivery notes.
There are currently two tables for order information, since each order can consist of multiple items. So, general information, like the order date, order number and salesperson are stored in an orders table. A second table, Order Detail lists the items and item specific information along with the order number of which they are a part.
A whole order (i.e. all items assigned to one order number) may be delivered at once, or in smaller consignments. However, every consignment must have a delivery note with a unique number. So, there may be several delivery note numbers associated with each order, relating to different shipments.
I therefore need to create a system which allows the user to select which items from an order are being dispatched and then get Access to do the following:
Create a new record in the delivery notes table. The delivery note number will therefore be created (it's an autonumber). The user should be prompted to enter the delivery date and this should be stored in the date column of the delivery notes table, alongside the delivery note number.
Enter the delivery note number in the "Delivery Note Number" field of the Order Details table, for every item that the user selected as dispatching.
Once this is in place, I will then be able to pull all the required details together with a query and then print the delivery note.
Bearing in mind that I'm very new to Access and so don't have any knowledge of scripts/macros etc, can anyone tell me how I can achieve this?
Many thanks in advance,
Gary

I have the following code for the text field (Before Update)
If IsNull(Me![DyNo]) Then
Me![DyNo] = Format(Nz(DMax("[DyNo]", "[tblAllDet]", "[TheYear]='" & Year(Date) & "'"), 0) + 1, "00000")
End If
Me![DyNo] = Format([DyNo], "00000")
The code starts giving numbers from 00001, 00002, 00003 and so on. The problem was that when I have to search, I have to type the zeros before the number i.e. 00007, 00008 etc. otherwise the search form doesn’t show the relevant record. Ideally, I would like the numbering system to be 1, 2, 3, etc. (without the zeros). I tried changing the code to “0” but with the single “0”, I am unable to insert records beyond No.10. Is there a way to change this code so that I get only 1, 2, 3 etc and not with preceding zeros ? Grateful for help.

I'm not looking to spam anyone or sell their data but need help to test a simple market research system that i have built. I'm looking for about 25-50 people to let me send them an email inviting them to a webform to see if the "process" works correctly from start to finish.
The form asks for limited data about people but nothing that can identify them personally. Just gender, age group and postcode prefix.
Can anyone who is OK with sending me their email address to enable me to test this please send to:
mailconnection@dsl.pipex.com
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
