Hi,
I have created a database with approx ten tables with many queries (make table and append and delete queries). I need to compact this database as I would normally do (usually deal with databases of 500MB and more with no issue) however after over an hour I still get the message 'not responding'. I have tried creating a new one from scrath and get the same issue. Can anyone help please?
Hello All,
I have found myself with a big problem, One of my databases has managed to become rather large in size, 1,084,576kb
Unfortunatley i am unable to compact the database, as i get the following error on compact "record(s) can't be read; no read permission on L:database name"
The size of the database now seems to be the reason why reports and queries are failing,
I have tried "database utilities" Repair Database - and this has no affect.
I have also tried temporally removing some of the tables and queries into another database, but the Db size remains the same.
Does anyone have any ideas as i'm stumped? p.s. the database in running on ACCESS 97
Thanks and best regards
Aaron
I know this has been discussed before but I have not been able to find a solution for my problem.
I have a database with linked tables from the back end database. The normal size is about 4.5 mb but after doing some work on a fairly simple form and a function with Select Case statements and simple SQL (the SQL was here before that change) the size has risen to 33Mb. This actually doubled to 66Mb earlier today after a very minor change but did compact back to 33Mb.
I have the Jet Compact Utility to no aval. I have tried creating a new database and imported all the objects from the original but again to no avail.
Help please???

I have an access 2000 database, which we copied from it's original location to another computer. I now am trying to modify/update the file, and have discovered an unusual problem. The filesize is roughly 75 megs! It is not a huge database, the biggest table has 2200 entries x maybe 8 fields.
There apparently had been corruption in the 2200 line table, as when I first looked into it, it had something like 275,000 rows. So I deleted back to the 2200 "good" rows of data. Figured I had the filesize problem fixed. But it won't shrink. Tried compact/repair and it didnt help. Crunched data for a long time, seemed to be working, but the filesize turns out nearly the same.
I then created a new database, and imported all of the info from the "big" one. Filesize = 1.5 meg. Great! not really. I cant get any of the code to copy over and I am not a VBA guy. All of the form buttons return error messages, and when I look into the event procedures there is no code. I tried copying all that code over, and it appears to have copied, but it doesnt work.
Maybe someone out there can offer suggestions? Thanks, Harry Manvel
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me. What i'd like to do is to be able to get the access to trigger compact and repair database tool automatically just before it shuts. Is it feasible? or has to be done manually?
Thank you in advance
The compact and repair utility is very good.
Since all my record operations are done through menu, I would like to put a command button for this utility also. But I dont know how to do this. Would somebody help? Thanks in advance.
I am trying to compact & repair a secured database. I log in exclusively as the administrator with the following shortcut property target: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" f:pathnameappname.mdb /User "adminname" /Pwd "adminpwd" /wrkgrp f:pathnameappname.mdw /excl
When I run Compact & Repair, I get the following message: "Microsoft Office Access can't delete f:pathnameappname.mdb after compacting it. The compacted database has been named f:pathnamedb1.mdb."
It goes on to say that it can't delete the original database because it is read-only (even though it is not).
Can I compact a secured database manually, or does it require some sort of utility?
Thanks.
Hi all,
I ahve come across a small problem and i am wandering if someone can helo me out on this.
I have a programme which is for the fast food and uses a order no for each receipt, now the problem is each time the form is closed and opened the number goes to the next avaialable number so last nunber was 32 the next will be 33 etc this number adding is done by code but i am having a problem somewhere along the lines and it goes back to 1 every so often, so the you have to log off and log in to to to the next available record,
So i was thinking rather having to do the number increment by code why not have a auto number field in there instead, the only problem is at the end of the day the number should go back to 1 for the next day so is there a way to compact and repair the database or better still to zero the tables i wish??
Thank you
Regards

HI,
Is there anyone out there that knows if it is possible in any way to make a database compact automatic at a certain time. If someone (user) has forgotten to close the database, automatic gets thrown out and then it compacts itself ?

My access database grow exponentially to 170 MB, We share the access database on the network and those tables on
the access database are linked to SQL Server. I tried to compact and converted to 2003 format, It still doesn't shrink too much for the size. Please someone tell me what should I do for it, because someone try to access thur the VPN connect, and it make no sense for her to take 5 mins for loading a report remotely.

i have a database that is 12 megabytes. when i compact and repair it, the database is 6 megabytes.
am i losing information? is there anything bad about compact and repaiir?
my database seems normal after the compact and repairt, but i would like to confirm weather or not compacting makes the database lose info
Is it possible to make the database compact and repair itself when it is closed to prevent it becoming too large?
Alternatively, can you create a macro to compact and repair at the click of a button?
Thanks, Steve
Can anyone give me guidance or code on how to automatically compact and repair.
There is something going on in my database when I open and it goes from 3.7kb to 26 kb each time it is opened - I cant find out why - ope to the why suggestion but another option is to automatically compact and repair
Thanks in anticipation.

Access 2013 ... Is it possible to compact a database to a new name?
(In previous incarnations of Access I regularly 'compacted and repaired' databases to USB sticks rather than simply copy the file in the (mistaken??) belief that this was a more reliable approach)...
I can't see where to do this in Access 2013!
In my access applications i have used the database split built in functionallity to split my frontend and backend tables.I have created a mail mechanism and when the database grows to that level i recieve a mail, ask users to get out of the database and compact the database. But this is tiding. I have a scheduled job that compacts databases early in the morning before users logged on. But during day work databases grow enormous again. Well is there a way by VBA code to create an auto compact function that on idle will log off all users in the database and compact it?
View 2 Replies View Related "how to COMPACT the DB by introducing delay of 10 seconds and then close the DB".In the Database, I'm able to accomplish the "Compact" the database using the function below.
Function Compact()
SendKeys "%(FMC)", False
End Function
As my DB is quite huge, the Compact action takes around 10 seconds to complete.Now, i would like to Close the Database after Compacting the DB. I tried including "DoCmd.Quit" in the function. The commands in the function, closes the DB but the Compact function doesn't seem to have executed as it needs 10 seconds to complete.
Function Compact()
SendKeys "%(FMC)", False
DoCmd.Quit
End Function
how to introduce this delay of 10 seconds and then close the DB.
I have two databases. One is 'live', one is for development. Once i get something working in the latter, I import it into the former. This has been working fine for just over two months.
Today, however, i'm trying to import a form and get one of the following messages:
"The search key was not found in any Record"
"No current record"
I'm unable to import the form.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Hi,
I have two possibly related things that have recently begun happening in nearly all of my databases. (Access 2002, Windows XP)
1. For years I have been using shortcut command lines like the following to open my databases:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp d:databasesPCAMain97sys.mdw m:pcamainpublicaccess2002frontendsvikchamaster setupwheel.mdb /excl
All of my databases use the same mdw file. Up until recently this command line has always prompted me for my login and password. Now, it doesn't. Not only that, but once I'm in the database, if I go to tools-security-workgroup adminstrator, the indication is that I am NOT joined to the PCAMain97sys.mdw workgroup that I requested.INstead I remain joined to whichever workgroup I was in before; it's like hte /wkrgrp command line option now has no effect.
2. From file-database properties, I try to change the title of the database. But I get error "..unable to save the database properties". Web search shows this is probably db corruption, but... on every one of my databases???
OK, upon reading what I just wrote, it seems likely that my mdw file is corrupted....? Any other ideas?
I have tried to rename or delete in MS Explorer, but this just creates confusion. The databases still show up in bits and pieses on various screens. I've purchased 2 additional how to do it books on MS Access 2007 and find nothing on deleting or renaming an entire database and all objects or references to it. Does anyone know the magic bullet?:confused:
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two databases that have been split, and both back ends are in a shared folder on the server that only a few people have authorization to access. One of the front ends is accessed off another shared folder, and the other is saved to each person's desktop. They have been up and running for months, and I've had no problems with users not being able to access data from the back end.
The other day, I requested access to this protected folder for four people, which was granted. But, since the time it was granted, neither database will open unless the user has authorization to access the protected folder. They get an error that says the database is already opened exclusively or they don't have authorization to view its data.
I've created another test db and split it into the same folder, but my users are getting the same error.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike
I've posted this in the 'General' forum, but without success, so I'm trying here.
I have two databases. One is 'live', one is for development. Once I get something working in the latter, I manually import it into the former (File - Get External data - Import). This has been working fine for just over two months.
Today, however, i'm trying to import a form and get one of the following messages:
"The search key was not found in any Record"
"No current record"
I'm unable to import the form. I also get the same error messages if i try to copy and paste the form within its own database.
The form in question has a lot of lengthy code behind various combo boxes, text boxes, etc. When I attempt to look at this code (via right-clicking on a field and going to Properties and the Event tab), none of it is present any more.
What's going on? This form took weeks to get working and now it can't be copied, renamed or imported, plus it appears to have been 'wiped' of everything but the visual features.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Can one form become 'corrupt'? If so, please say that there's some way to remedy it?
I have a .mdb that opens up to a form (a splash screen I would assume). However, I can not access the form design view or even get the database window. I thought limiting access to design view was done with .mde, even then you have access to the database window. Any explanation on this or help??
Thanks
I have Access 2003 and I am trying secure my database.
I read thru the posts in this forum and I created a new mdw file and new id..I gave this new id all the powers of Admin, so that I can take away all the powers from Admin user and Admins Group...but I am unable to change owner for the database object..current owner is Admin.
What can owner do that admin cannot do?
Please help..
Thanks a bunch.

When trying to create an MDE using Access 2002 I get the message
"Microsoft Access was unable to create an MDE database"
The database is split and in Access 2002 format.
Could this be anything to do with References? I say this because I recently downloaded a dll for Redemption to make use of the SafeOutlook Library
Thanks

Here's the issue:
Access 2010 Database with a Switchboard
SharePoint 2007
After I moved the tables to the SharePoint site everything is working correctly except the Switchboard Manager. When I try to the Switchboard manager i get error that is was unable to find a valid Switchboard in the database and asks me to create one. If I click Yes I get error that Table 'Switchboard Items already exists.
My Database has the following:
1. Switchboard Items Table
2. Switchboard form
I can access both of them and attached screenshots of the errors and tables in the database.
