I searched the internet and different forums, but could not find the solution for my problem. In Access 2003 I splitted the database and made a mde file of the frontend. When I copy the front and backend to another computer it cannot find the backend due to the original path is included. To solve this I would like the database to link the backend that is available in the directory of the frontend. No more and no less. Is this possible? I find a lot of questions in this direction, but could not destilate a solution.
I am working on a new system. Have been given Full MS Access but Link Table Manager fails it gives a standard security warning that this new system enforces it says Opening: CProg..FilesMSOfficeOffice11ACWZTOOL.MDE however on selecting OPEN nothing happens. If Cancel is hit then long critical message saying in short " Can't find wizard , syntax error in delerations in VB. Likewise I cannot link to a spreadsheet without using the manager.
Question is there anything I can do or is it the fact that these are options were not installed and it is an administrators job?
I have an Access 2007 application where don't work the link table manager.
I also try to complete reinstall the Office 2007 and also I register the Accwiz.dll in the office folder (regsvr32.exe Accwiz.dll) but the module still does not work.
I have successfully automated the refresh of my linked tables using VBA (thanks to a post on this forum -- Cool). Anyway, what I would like to know now is this:
If my table collection does not have any linked tables, using VBA, how can I get that list of available tables to show? Assume that I will be connecting to the same database (Oracle) through an ODBC connection. I dont wish to change the connection - just want that window with all tables to shouw up.
Hello, Does anyone know how to use a Macro or Module to refresh/update linked excel worksheets in an access DB. I used to delete all the tables then re-add them. There must be a better more correct way. Any ideas?
I have a database that is used in our office. It is split with the backend stored on a network share.
I need to make some updates, and to do maintenance I usually make a copy of the frontend/backend to my desktop, and use the linked table manager to switch to using the local copy of the backend so I don't mess up the main data. All good so far.
however, I recently added a new table, and originally called it "overRides", I then decided that "adjustments" was a more suitable name and changed it.
Now whenever I try to switch from the main backend to my local copy I get a message when relinking "adjustments" that Access cannot find the object "overRides" and to make sure it exists and the name is spelled correctly...
I have been just deleting the linked table and reimporting "adjustments" but this issue keeps coming back and it's driving me nuts!
How can I make Access forget that this table used to be called "overRides"?
The scenario. Two PC's, one older than the other, both running Windows 2000 (SP4) and Office 2000 (SP3). I use Access as a front end to a MySQL database, connections are made using ODBC. I recently altered the structure of a table and attempted to re-link the table in access using the Linked Table Manager on the new PC. All that happened was the hourglass came on and never went away. I tried to do this on the old PC and it worked fine first time.
Any ideas why I can't get it to work on my new PC? It's quite important as I won't have the old PC with me much longer :-(
How do you get to see the entire file path in Access Linked Table Manager of linked tables that are located in a folder with a long path? The problem is that you can only view the first 64 or so characters of the table’s path. This is a real problem when these linked tables need to be updated and you don't know where it’s stored.
The attached Access XP file demonstrates my problem. I've included a form to make testing easier.
Each record in the Projects table has one or more linked entries in the Keywordlink table, showing keywords that apply to that record. Each record in Projects has a Yes/No 'Utility' field.
A third table, Keywords, supplies the keywords that the user can apply to records in Projects, using the subform on the main form. The Keywords table also includes a True/False 'Utility' field. I have set this to True for for the first three keywords.
I need a query, a series of queries or some VB code that updates Projects_Utility for all records to True if and only if the record's linked entries in Keywordlink include all of the keywords for which Keywords_Utility is True (a boolean 'and', as opposed to an 'or'). Otherwise, Projects_Utility must be set to False.
In the attached file, with the current settings in the Keyword table, the 'GetSelectedProjects' query should then produce single-row listings for ClientA and ClientF.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me on this. I'm not a programmer, but I can manage a bit of VB code if I have to.
I have a table "Product" and in this table I have two fields "StoragePlaceID1" and "StoragePlaceID2". Both these fields link to the look-up table "StoragePlace"
*Attached Image "Product_StoragePlace" from the Access Relationship Window"*
When I want to add a new Product from my inter face i get the error you can see in the Attached Image "Save_Error".I think the problem is that the Relationship is defined as One-to-Many,there a way to define the relationship as Zero-to-Many.
Wondering if anyone can help me with a problem I'm having with the switchboard manager. What I want to do is open a form in pivotchart view from a switchboard. I've set it as the default view to see if this makes a difference. I've not allowed any other view, no difference. Exhausted all basic property solutions and can't think what else to try. Thinking of either adding a control to the switchboards form in design view and bypassing the switchboard manager or would it be better to put some code into the form that says when open, open in pivot chart view?? Anyone have any other ideas?
Hi, I wonder if anyone could help. I'm in the planning stages of creating a order manager in access for multiple ecommerce sites.
Database will store data on Customers, Inventory, Invoices, Returns, Shipments, Credits, Quotes etc for all sites, and also custom reports. And the idea is to have the database generate the ecommerce sites automatically as static html, which can be uploaded. As the orders come in they will be stored online, and then periodically downloaded into the database.
The reason is we currently have 3 sites running and managing inventory and stock control is the hardest, as currently there are 3 databases controling stock! Also when a customer telephones its difficult to know which site they have ordered from which is unprofessional, and we have to log into every site just to find their order.
Future ideas:- Meaning we are going to setup more sites which will obivously make the situation worse. We also want to branch out in into eBay using the eBay API to download transactions and sales, and will therefore need a place to store the data.
Can anyone foresee any problems with such a system? Any ideas or examples?
There are a few procedures that run when my Access database closes (backing up data, etc.). Since this can take a minute or two to finish (running over a network), one of the users here has started to use Task Manager to shut down the application.
This is not ideal, as the same user has also deleted the backend on more than one occasion. Should both happen on one day, we'd lose that day's updates.
Asking them not to do it doesn't work. Explaining why doesn't work. Telling them not to do it doesn't work. If I ask their supervisor to tell them not to do it, they just deny it. It's starting to look like the backup scripts aren't running, when they work fine for everyone else.
Is there any way of either (a) Preventing them from doing this (unlikely, I'd have thought) or (b) Recording the fact that this has happened.
It doesn't necessarily have to be recorded in Access itself - although that would be ideal - if there's some other file I can access to get the info?
this has been "bugging" me for a while. everytime i access task manager it opens for couple of seconds and then disappears. i heard that this was some type of virus and/or spyware related. norton, spyware, and adaware haven't seemed to solve this problem. please help
I am trying to display forms to the user in datasheet view. The properties are set to datasheet as default and Form View to No. They work fine using the database window but are displayed in Form View when using the Switchboard. If the switchboard setting is Open in Add Mode no data is displayed. If it is Open in Edit Mode the data is there but in both cases they are in Form View. I am using Access 2000 and Access 2002. Can anyone help?
I have made a database in access 2003 I have forms, reports etc, which all worked great! then I did a switchboard manager,which took me to two more switchboards and one of them was forms it works great but when I open a form I can not use the find comand, and it does not show all my records but it does up date the table and everything else works great.It is just the find and records on all the forms and only when opened in switchboard when I open them from the database window they work fine.

I have a new table that I added to the back end of my Access 2003 database. I compacted & repaired both the front and back and I can't see the new table in the front end still. Do you know why this is?? I can't find anything on this. thanks-
I need to hold information in a staff table about a person's Line-manager.
My initial idea was to just have the Staff Table and use the PK of a member who is a Line-manager as a FK in the Line-manager field in the same table for their staff.
I then came across a problem.
I need to be able to select all the staff under a Line-manager. For example a head of department may have 3 team leaders who each manage 10 staff. I need to know all of them, not just the 3 team leaders who are directly managed by the HoD but their staff as well.
As it happens there is no rigidgly defined managment structure per se for this organisation which makes things even more difficult.
I assume there is a reasonably standard way of doing this as all organisations have some form of line-manager/staff relationship. Anyone care to enlighten me?
I have a report based on main database that list all "Sites" by Manager, when i open the report it gives me all the details that I want, what I would now like to do is page break at the end of each manager, in addition the each record as a "completed" and "active" field I only want to show on the report the "Active" Records. ie:- After it reports all the Active marked sites for 1 manager is starts the second manager on a new page, can this be done? and how do I do it?
