View RepliesHey, My access database will be used to make computer reservations for an internet cafè. The user makes their reservation date by using a calendar control, they choose their start and end time, and they also choose the amount of computers they can book (no more than X). Would it be possible to create a query that will limit the user from overbooking the computers?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI created the database on my computer. I added security and split the database to put the tables on the the server. Everything works just fine on my computer. However, when I try to copy the 3 files for the front end of the database to other computers on the network, it won't work.
Perhaps I'm confused as to what files need to be migrated to each additional computer or I don't have the security setup properly.
Right now, I move 3 files. The main database file with the front end. The shortcut file that is created when you add security and the security file that is created when you add security to the database.
I'm stumped.
Well...here's the deal. Four computers were replaced in our office and now three of them are having problems with the database. The database is written in Access2003 and all computers (the old ones and the four new ones) are running on WindowsXP Professional w/ Office 2003.
The problems that comes up only involves reports (viewing, email, exporting). When they try to view a report, a message comes up
Cannot find object ".
When they try to email or export a report the function is cancelled due to the error.
I'm going to have the computer admin re-install Access to see if that helps.
I've been searching around trying to find some info on various settings that would cause this, but I'm pretty ignorant in this arena. I checked the references in Access and they are both the same. That's about the extent of my knowledge in thise area.
Any insight would be great.
Thanks for the help.

I am trying to write a more complex macro that will start another macro at a preset time, however I am getting stopped at the first hurdle - getting a macro to run another macro.
Here is the code i am using at the moment, all I want to do currently is click the first button, then get the second macro to execute. But no luck, getting error 2157 "cannot find the procedure"
Code:
Private Sub Command3_Click()

Hello All,
I have MSAccess ade working in some computers which has WindowsXP-pro(SP1 and SP-2) without any problem. But It doesnot work(When i said it doesn't work means it doesn't work in certain parts which i will give an example) in some computers that has exact same configaration. The problem is when I try to instance a class using a TypeName function, it doesnot recognize the class name and just returns an object rather than recognizing the class's name. Its a strange thing because I have some .ade from past works fine in all machines. The only difference is In the new .Ade is I have included the Microsoft outlook 11.0 object library. But the part of the code thats not working doesn't even use the Outlook library at all. So did anyone has this kind of problem, PLease suggest or ask me if you have more details of this problem. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks again

Hi,
Hopefully this is a really simple requiring a simple answer.... hopefully
On one of my forms I have a combo box thats values are generated by a parameter query. On my computer and a couple of others i tested it (on the same network) this combo box populates fine, but i put it on a couple of other computers today and it doesn't show any values. I checked and the query itself runs fine, plus a combo box that runs off a table populates fine.
not too sure if its relative but the database is split with the tables sitting on the network share and the database sitting on the main computer. or perhaps this could have something to do with blocking unsafe expressions.. i am not sure
any help on this would be greatly greatly appreciated
I have 2 tables tblComputers & tblComputerAllocations
tblcomputers has 85 records & tblComputerAllocations has 71.
I would like a query that returns the 14 computers that have no allocations.
I tried a union query on field ComputerID but i must misunderstand its use!!
Thanks in advance,
Phil.
Does anyone know/how my forms' background colors are different from one computer to another? The computers that are showing the correct color are both XP and Access 2002 (one is a laptop and one is a desktop)... but then someone else.. on a laptop (with XP and access 2002).. the forms' background colors are not good (purple)... vs. blue on my laptop and the desktop. Thanks!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a report that was created on my computer. When this report is opened on other computers (2 that I've tried) the text alignment is way off. Originally I thought it had to do with printer margins dictating something but that is not the case as the margins remain identical on all computers. It's not a font issue because it's Arial which all computers have. The text is written inside a "label".
View 5 Replies View RelatedI design/maintain an Access database for a friend's business using my home computer. The printer he uses allows for much smaller margins than mine does, so anytime I edit a specific report that uses very small margins, my computer automatically increases them to the minimum margins my printer allows and when the business owner runs the report on his computer it spills on to extra pages.
Right now every time I make a change, I need to go directly to his computer and adjust the margins within the report after the new front end is uploaded.Is there any way around this, such as telling Access to ignore the printer's minimum margins?
I recently completed a database project and was set to launch it today for use throughout the company. The database is split, and both ends are saved in the same folder on the company server. I have copied a shortcut to the front-end file onto the desktop of each of the four user computers. Two of the four users are able to open and operate the front-end with no issues. The other two won't run the 'Default Value' formula for the "Order#" field in the front-end form. This being the case, I'm certain this is not a code issue.
Form
- Field
- Control Source
- Default Value
PO#
= [YEAR] & ["P"] & [Order#]
N/A
[code].....
When I opened the form on the two noncompliant computers the PO# field displayed #Type!.I deleted the Order# default value to confirm that that was indeed the source of the problem, and it is. When deleted, the PO# field displays "13P" instead of "#Type!".
I've tinkered around with Trust Center to no avail. And I'm almost certain this is not an upgrade/patch issue as one of the nonconcompliant computers had Access 2010 downloaded yesterday. The server and all users have Access 2010.As well, the option settings on the front-end are set to only open the form, with no editing capabilities. However, when using Shift+Enter to open the edit capable version, there is no issue; the PO# populates.
I have an estimating database, the "main" database is on my desktop, then it is also on a Notebook and Laptop and goes out with the bidders. At the end of the day, I want to sync all 3. I may enter info throughout the day on my desktop (which needs to sync up to the other 2) and vise versa. Using SharePoint is not an option as the Notebook and Laptop will not always have internet access.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have completed a database for a company with 60 000 clients and over 100 000 job records.
The database works at very resonable speeds on the Server computer, or the computer on which I installed the back end of the database.
Each of the other 3 computers on the wireless network, have a local copy of the Front End on their machine, and reference the Back End (BE) on the server computer.
Each of the Client computers have varing speeds when accessing the BE, some as slow as 10 minutes for a simple search, filter or just loading a form.
What can I do to improve performance across the network?
Do I need to install additional components on the other computers to improve the db performance?
Your help will be much appreciated.

I have a report (Access 2007) with subreports that is being exported to pdf. It all works fine on PC except for on a virtualbox and a laptop. When the user exports the report to pdf, it leaves some subreports blank! If the report is opened in the DB it pulls data as it should and all looks fine.
In the report, the missing data is from 4 subreports in the same top section of the report where a 5th subreport also resides. Subreport 5 is displayed OK. There is no dynamic formatting nor filtering in the reports.
These two machines had to have the 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF installed for the PDF export to work at all. Both machines are up-to-date on the latest windows updates. The virtual box runs XP while the laptop runs Windows 7.
This is the strangest error I have ever encountered as it only partially fails and it cannot be replicated on a regular PC.
I've designed an Access Database (using Access 2003) and assigned user-level security to it such that some users are read only and some are full access. Everyone requires a login and password to access the database. The problem is, once I copy/paste the database from my computer to the shared drive (where it will be accessed by all the users) the prompt for a username and password disappears.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe're a small shop building a modest database to keep track of our product listings on eBay. Two people on non networked computers are doing the data entry into cloned copies of our database. This includes attached photos for each record. At the end of each week, we want to combine the records created separately into the master database on my system.
It seems like it would be simple enough to just cut and the paste the records from the two databases into the identical master. The problem I'm anticipating concerns the attached photos.
Some strategies are to transfer the records from the data entry computers to the master database while keeping the attached photos intact.
Is there an effective, efficient way to set this up or would it be best to use the OLE format for the pictures instead of attaching them (which I prefer)?
We are creating a database to log data on a project. There will be thousands of files. Can we input data, using the same table, at separate locations and then merge the data into a master table? We will need to do that many times.

I have a macro (that runs a bat file) that I would like to run for the first time ,and only the first time that a form is run. The bat file will then copy over certain files the db needs.

I have a database and in order to get the correct values you need to run a few queries/make tables/delete tables ect. I was wondering if there was a way to code something so that on command click button it would run through all the neccessary steps so people dont have to manually do this.

Here's a sample of the database that I'm working on. I'm trying to help teachers take attendance of all of their students and so have the following tables.
tblAdmin - List of Teachers and their IDs
tblAttendance - Courses, Student IDs, the Date and the Status (tardy, etc..)
tblCourseInfo - List of Courses and the Teachers teaching the course
tblEnrollment - List of the Courses and the students enrolled in them
tblStudents - Student IDs and their names
The form that I want is a "Course Information Form" that will
(1) Display all the students enrolled in their course
(2) Allow the teachers to take attendance everyday while keeping all the previous records
I've attached my sample database. I really appreciate ANY help any of you can suggest.
Thanks :)
I am running a Macro that is running 3 query and saving inbetween each query.
My issue is that when the macro runs I have to hit ok when the message boxes pop up saying "its about the run a Query" and then again when it says "your about to update the records". These two messages occur for each query and save. So I have to hit OK 6 times
Is there a way I can set the macro to NOT show these message boxes?
THanks in Advance
Hi all,
I usually search for the answers to my problems, but as im not sure what the problem is i havnt been able to do so here.
Basically i have a pretty simple database, it works fine in the UK. The company i have designed it for are moving to Budapest, i have just had an email this morning saying an error message pops up when the try using a form, i have attached the message. The macro just runs a query based on a table in the database asking the users to choose a record number edit. Im assuming it must be something to do with is being used in Budapest as it works fine here, but they are accessing it the same as they would do here, just from a different location.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
I use an autokeys macro to allow users to openforms with a hotkey directly without going through the menu system.
I would like the users to be able to modify their own setttings for this, but I could not find a way of writing to the macro autokey table.
Anyone know of a way?
Hi,
Task: to extract data from table 1 of a database (tied to form 1) to create a record in another table 2 of the same database (tied to form 2).
Besides, I need to make it simple to use for an end user.
On the form 2 I have a command button that activates macro. Macro makes a query to run and extract data from table 1 and append a table 2.
Now I want the user to see the record on the screen (form 2) that has just been created. For that purpose I add "go to last record" step in the macro.
Problem: that doesn't work. :) For some reason it brings back same record from the middle of the table which is not the last. And what is even more interesting is that it doesn't tie to the record ID on the bottom of the screen (access generated).
Challenge: the record ID field in the table 2 is a primary key auto-numbered field (i know this is not perfect but I am not the one who created the database) and some records have been deleted over time. Might that be connected to that or that is something else?
Thank you!!
I have inserted two combo box in the form with lookup in the table. Now I want to select values in these boxes and filter the records having those values on click of a command button placed on the form.
How can it be done without using VBA? Is it possible with use of macro?
Kindly guide.
