Time Lag When Connecting To Access After Updated To XP
Oct 23, 2007
My office workstation took a very long time to connect to database in Access 2003 after upgrading to Windows XP, a few minutes need to be taken just to open a simple form which normally takes less than 10 seconds. In simple words, whenever it has to retrieve data from the db, it will be super lagging .
The rest of the workstations running on Windows 2000 were running perfectly fine.
The database is located on the host pc, which is running Windows 2000.
Initially we suspected that it might be because of the insufficient RAM. Thus it was changed from 1GB to 2GB. But even after changing to 2GB, the problem still exists.
Can anyone please advice me on how to check and rectify this problem? What can be the cause of this problem?
I have a database that stores information for lab testing. Each time a tech does a "step" in the test process he logs it in the table, using an input form. There are different categories, for example preparation, testing, analysis, etc, and each of those steps take time. I have the form autopopulate the date and time with NOW() evertime the form is updated. What i want to do is calculate the time it takes to do each in days. I can easily get how many days it was from now since they logged the test, =NOW()-TestDateTime. What I want to do is get the number of days it took to do each step, ie the number of days between each event. Is there a way to do this?
Hi, I have a form which is made up for 3 tables and I am trying to create an append query for each one in order to keep records of data before it is updated. The append queries seem to work but they append all data rather than just one selected record. I know I will next need to create a macro which can be used each time a record has been updated and a copy is sent to the archive. Can anyone help me with this, or have any useful suggestions?
This works but the problem i have is, when i add an entry via a form or do anything else via a form. This does not get updated?. I check the properties of the table and that isn't either.
When i then modify something manually in the table (go in and change it). It then updates.
Is there something im doing wrong or is there a better way to check the last updated.
Displaying the 'Last Modified' dates and time on a form. How to go about doing what I want to do.
I would like to display on a form in one single field the date & time that any of the fields on that form were changed and. I would like to display it in such a way that it cannot be altered by anyone. If it is possible to capture and display on the form in a separate field which user account accessed and changed the record then all the better. Obviously if nothing is updated then the date and time stays the same.
I will have to create two new fields in the table that relates to the form and this I have done - one of format Date/Time and one of format Text.
Is it possible for a query to automatically get updated each time a table is added. For example I am looking at prices and each month a new table of information is added for that month and I use a query to view each month next to each other. Is there a way that each time I add a table the query will automatically update?
Before we moved webhosting company we could have external access to our MySql database which was great as our MS Access system would periodically pull data from our MySql site (namely customer enquiries which were entered via a form on our website) and dump them in our MS Access live quotes table all automatically.
With our current host (which seems to be the norm from my web-searches) they only allow local access to the MySql system.
My question is, how can I oversome this hurdle without having to move hosting company. I really don't want to move again as it's a real pain.
I have a little problem: And hope somebody can give me an answer.
I have two tables, one form and on the form I have two textboxes. One of the textboxes should be connected to ONE table and field, and the other textbox to the OTHER table and field.
I tryed to conect through the expression builder but had not much luck! See code below.
This code comes up in the ControlSource property section and textbox also: =[tbl_CompanyContact]![CompanyPhoneNumber] =[tbl_PrivateContact]![PrivatePhoneNumber]
Where do I set in properties the connection to different tables i.e. tbl_CompanyContact / tbl_PrivateContact and where the connection to the field CompanyPhoneNumber / PrivatePhoneNumber.
I want to know if it possible to use MS Excel instead of web application (ASP, HTML,...) that is connected to MS Access and will update MS Access as user update information on MS Excel?
If it possible how I should get started b/c I kind of have a template for Excel. I just need to learn connecting excel to MS Access and maintain them.
I've just set up my Access on a new PC and now when I try to connect to my MySQL database through odbc, Access crashes without any error messages, just the standard microsoft error reporting message.
I am connecting Access to QuickBooks with the QODBC. I tried to do this in MS Access 2010 with Windows 7 and it worked fine. Then I tried it on a new computer with MS Access 2013 and Windows 7. Now, when the VBA gets to the line:
oConnection .Open "DSN=Quickbooks Data;OLE DB Services=-2"
It crashes. No message, other than the generic "Access has stopped working" message. I am using ADO for the oConnection. I am not sure what the problem is or how to diagnose it. I have used an ADO connection to connect to Excel, and that worked fine, so my guess is it have something to do with the DSN connection?
In addition to my Intro to Access class, I am taking a Web Programming class, which has the same general assignment, but for Web pages, instead of an Access database; create at least 3 pages, 1 each for financial data, customer relations and product/service info.
I would like to create a small Access database connected to a Web page. I won't have a server, but I can run everything off a computer. I have a book that tells me the steps to do all this, but I'm supposed to install MS SQL Server (I chose to download MS SQL Express Server), and I can't get Access to talk to it. Among other things, I noticed that I could not stop SQL Server, nor could I start SQL Browser. I did enable TCP/IP (I think). I uninstalled the whole thing, thinking I could start from scratch.
I have an access database that has fields that i want to be entered externally via excel. I want to be able to manipulate the data from access and excel. If you change in one, it will reflect the change in the other.
I want this to happen seemlessly, with a notification to either end when either end is changed.
Linking to an excel sheet from access doesn't seem to work because you can not change anything in the fields that were entered in excel from access.
I have also tried creating a connection from excel to access. I can change the data in access and it reflects in excel, but if i change the field data in excel, it doesn't reflect in access.
I am coding an ASP front end for an Access database. I actually had it working yesterday but I still had some tweaks to make. My development has come to a stand still because of this crazy error I awoke to this morning. I went to the url of my ASP page and all of a sudden I get this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0xbac Thread 0xc84 DBC 0x19e6fc4 Jet'.
So after doing some research, I decided to change my connection string to use Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
Once I changed over to the Jet driver, I got this error message:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Could not find installable ISAM.
I am totally stumped with this problem. I actually re-upped the database and it started working briefly but the error message soon returned. Everything I am reading is saying to change permisions and change some stuff in the registry but since it was working fine yesterday, I do not believe it is a registry setting.
I just created a database and need to connect it to the data source. The data comes from a http website (intranet from work). When I open the link using firefox, I can view the website with the data in it, but when I open it from Internet Explorer, I get a save as pop-up message to save a csv file which contains all the data. The extension of the http website ends with csv. So it is something like http (slash slash...) Intranetname/referral_dbase.csv
Currently, I am opening the file using firefox, copying all the data manually, and pasting it in a text file using notepad. After that, I import the file into access. The delimiter of the data is this symbol: |
I am trying to find a way to link my database to the website where the data is located so that I can skip the manual process of opening the website and copying the data and saving it into a text file and then importing that file into access. I was thinking to have like a form in access with a bottom that will automatically import that data from this link and paste it into a table in access using the delimiter symbol mentioned above.
Is this too complicated? Is it even possible in access 2010?
I need to add attachments (pdfs, Word documents, JPEGs) that will automatically update to my form when revisions are made to them in their outside folders (not within Access). For example, I have op sketches that are being edited outside of Access and saved under the same name, so I need to make sure that these newly edited documents are automatically being linked and uploaded to my Access form to see. These attachments were added to a field in one of my tables, and I can pull it up in the form. My problem is that the attachments that I pull up are not the currect version; they are the original version that I added into the table. I tried making the Default Picture Type as "Linked" instead of "Embedded", but this isn't working. What can I do so that the current revisions are being shown without having to edit each attachment within the table?
Hi, I have a VB6 application talking to Access DB. The program was suppose to do some audit tracking but due to a bug it didn't create data in Audit table. Is there a way i can retreive data which is updated (Old values) for 2 tables. If there is a tool/utility i can buy please let me know.
Some vba code which is able to get the last updated or last modified value of an excel file stored in a folder in a shared drive and update a field on a form in ms access.
I want to connect an Excel table with an Access table so when I make changes to excel table these changes to appear in the access table and use the access table for my web site. The excel table looks like:
Room Type01/05/06-06/06/06 07/06/06-15/07/06 21/09/06-30/09/0601/10/06-31/10/06 * Standard Single 26 34 * Standard Double 44 59 * Standard Triple 60 80
When I try to connect this table with access I am getting an error reffering to the second line of the excel table where there are not numbers but dates. The access connected table looks like:
Room Type01/05/06-06/06/06 07/06/06-15/07/06 #Number! #Number! * Standard Single 26 34 * Standard Double 44 59 * Standard Triple 60 80
Is it possible to connect a Document to the Access Database. To have a button beside the field in the form allowing you to browze and connect the document. If not does anyone have a way around this. Any help would be well appreciated.
Hi We have a database implemented in MS-SQL server 2000 on a local machine. I want to use some of tables in my access (or excel) program. Can I link to the table?
I'm having a problem in Access where I'm trying to connect 2 tables together. On one table is all the information of the person, the other table is a list from 1-50. That list is a drawing of all the peoples ID number for a drawing. When I type in their ID next to what order they got picked in is there any way where All of their information comes with that ID number they have? I really need help on this.
Hi there, I'm currently writing an accounting system and i got stuck with this section of trying to produce the account name in a query.
i have four tables
tblPurchase PurchaseID -Number
tblAccounts AccountID - Number AccountName - Text, usually has names like asset, cost of sales, expense, telephone, electricity, etc...
tblItems ItemID, Number AssetNum (tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key1), Number ExpenseNum(tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key2), Number IncomeNum(tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key3), Number
tblPurchaseLines PurchaseNum (foreign key for tblPurchase.PurchaseID), Number ItemNum (foreign key for tblItems.ItemID), Number
My question is how can i generate the query with the following fields:
PurchaseID ItemID AccountName of AssetNum AccountName of ExpenseNum AccountName of IncomeNum
I am aware that the query would produce three PurchaseID's for every ItemID it would encounter for every PurchaseLine.
