Hi -
Just a reminder that US Daylight Savings Time ends 4 Nov 2007 (First Sunday in November) at 0200, at which point the time (minus Indiana) reverts to 0100.
If getting your PC to cooperate is a problem, you might check the following for guidance:

Hi,
In Access 2007, I don't seem to be able to scan through a few records by holding down the advance record arrow in tables liked I used to?!
Am I missing something here, it worked in the same way in all other versions, the same as if you use the mouse wheel, it should run through each record in turn.
Is there a way to change this? I've been through all the settings I can think of...
Thanks guys
Matt
For the company I am doing my thesis, I developed a tool in MS Access for monitoring sales data, customers, employee data etc…
The tool is working with a front-end database, installed locally on every PC and a Back-end on the company’s server ( Located at city Genk)
The tool is working smooth on the location in Genk.
But then the problem occurs when this tool had to be used on an other company location, 100km from the server (Antwerp); the waiting and loading times are very long, even for the smallest data.
Obvious this is because the companies network from one location to another is too slow. But because of financial reasons I’m looking for a software solution.
An idea is to create a Back-end server for each location, for all local data and one general back-end server for unique data ( for instance: there has to be a unique calculation number for each calculation made in the entire company).
I think this will decrease waiting times for some data, but not all…
Or does anyone have an other idea?
Hi guys,
I need help with security settings and that. I have a database which i want available on a shared server. Basically i only want people to beable to see one form but not beable to see anything else or make any changes to this form.
Do i need to split and make a front and back end? I will want to make occasional changes to tables etc.. and so would want this to automatically update on the database seen by everyone else.
Sorry, not making much sense but am bit confused about it all!
Any help from some clever peeps?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CODE:
Dim wsp As Workspace
Dim fInTrans As Boolean
On Error GoTo C4Err
fInTrans = False
Set wsp = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
wsp.BeginTrans
fInTrans = True
DoCmd.OpenQuery "query1"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "query2"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "query3"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "query4"
wsp.CommitTrans
C4Exit:
Set wsp = Nothing
Exit Sub
C4Err:
MsgBox Err.Description
If fInTrans Then
wsp.Rollback
End If
Resume C4Exit
I WANT TO RUN 4 BIG APPEND QUERYS BUT IF USER PRESS ESCAPE BUTTON BEFORE ALL QUERYS ARE FINISHED - THEN ALL RECORD CHANGES MADE BY THOSE QUERYS MUST BE CANCELED.
SO I MADE THIS CODE. BUT IT DOES NOT WORK.
Hey guys!
just wondering if there is an way to command

and wait 'till the bakcup program ends to go next command in VBA
thank you! :cool:
I have a small system that consists of a back end data base and 2 front ends. having 2 front ends was a historic reason but they cover 2 distinct processes in the system.
I now have the need for using the same module(s) in both front ends. Each has a copy which is fine if nothing changes but when it does I have to apply the changes made (or copy over in its entirety) from one front end to the other.
Although this is no big deal I can forsee it slipping through the net.
Can 2 front ends access the SAME module and if so how?
I have (on a company network) a FrontEnd .accde and a backend .accdb - currently ~ 10 users (some over wifi - slow!)The FrontEnd is becoming a rather large file ~ 10 MB and is also becoming slower.I am looking to separate this in to 3 FrontEnd files as to simplify and to lessen the file sizes etc.
My question is - are there any issues around a 3 x FrontEnd databases all connecting to 1 x backend database holding all the tables - over a network?
I have a very unusual situation where I need the name of a field in an Access table to end with a blank (i.e. space). I tried doing it trivially while in Design View but no dice. I tried it through some SQL along the lines of the following pseudo code
Select [old table].[Address] as [Address2 ], [old table].*
Into [new table]
From [old table]
but the new field's name "Address2 " lost the final space.A third try was through some syntax for an Alter Table statement to add or modify a field. It didn't pan out.
I have recently asked about being able to use my table system online. i have just thought. what about creating a front end that works online. still have the front end on the desktop and the table system on the desktop but have both of them connecting to the one table system.

I have a form containing a subform. The subform is opened in data entry mode, so it displays no existing records. However if the user right-clicks the form and selects a sort, all records are displayed. Is there any way to stop this behavior so that the form remains in data entry mode?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a combo box that contains a list of values, but users can add their own if they choose. If the value they type in isn't on the list, the Not In List event fires. Once the procedure is done, the form inexplicably closes.
Oddly enough, it only closes under certain circumstances - the code provides several different options for saving the new data, and if I choose different options, the form works as its designed.
Further, if I insert a breakpoint anywhere in the code, then hit F5 to let the code run, the form works fine. Literally, the breakpoint can be anywhere in the procedure from the first line (On Err...) to the last line in the Exit block, "Exit Sub".
How do I hide or disable the File tab in Access 2010 on my front ends?
The file tab being present allows end user to get into Privacy Options and Printing. Printing is okay if I could disable the Privacy Options for end users, then it wouldn't matter if they have access to the File Tab.
Possible very serious security issue!
I have a split data base and want the front ends to close after a period of time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy question encompasses a front end connected to multiple back ends. It is probably a mundane point, but reading a few articles didn't seem to touch on it.
By this, let me toss out that I am thinking of the personnel where I work when I say 95% have a hard time using email and MS Word, let alone mundane functions like find a file, etc. As such, I have to make my front-ends extremely user friendly.
With that in mind, when developers have multiple back ends, what are thoughts about the best way to relink when required? Even when there are 'more sophisticated' users? Security not an issue or is an issue (inasmuch as can be handled in access)?
Ex: Large corporation with a multitude of user ability. Large database with say 3 different back ends.
I was thinking about keeping a front-end table with each table name and UNC path, hard coding paths to corresponding table names, etc.
Personally I don't have a need for multiple back-ends, but the question came up while reading.
On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce
2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format.
3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ...
4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help:
"ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
I have turned off DEP.
How can I get MS Access 2007 to import Excel?
Thanks

I have an application with a backend db on PC 1, and the same application on PC 2 linked to the backend db on PC 1 via the network.
The link works fine but the time formats are different.
On PC 1 the time format is shortime and displays as it should i.e. in 24 hour clock format
However on PC 2, opening the same database via the network, the time format is still shorttime but when you read the time within the code it comes out in AM/PM format. Also, when the defaul tiem should be #20:00:00# but this changes to #8:00:00 PM#
Weirdly though, when you just open the table, the times are in the correct shorttime format.
Guessing, it must be a setting within the main core of Access 2003 that is different between the 2 instances?
Any ideas?
This screen shot may help:

I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features.
Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing!
Help!
I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?
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?
