Hi
At work I was just updated to access 2003. I am trying to update a data base that I created in access 2000. Whenever I try to open a data access page I get the following error. "The installer encountered an internal string error. Installation failed." I've updated the Web components and that seems to have gone ok. My IT people are at a loss.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I upgraded a 2000 db to 2003 recently. When I ran the function below it gave me an error on the line in green. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Const FIRSTROW = 13
Dim wsp As Workspace, dbv As DAO.Database, tblResolve As DAO.Recordset
Dim tblVchs As DAO.Recordset, tblImpTmp As DAO.Recordset
Dim ObjXLApp As New Excel.Application
Dim FileToOpen As String, WhereCriteria As String, ImportTemp As String, tmpVch As String
Dim TotalDupes As Integer, TotalGood As Integer, TotalRejects As Integer
Dim TotalBlank As Integer, R As Integer, C As Integer
Dim BadSheet As Boolean, ImpFail As Boolean
Dim tmp, tmpType, tmpCtr, tmpRsn
If Forms![Import Block Vouchers]![Import Program] = "0" Then
MsgBox ("You must select a Program to load.")
ObjXLApp.Quit 'Exit from MS Excel
Exit Function
End If

I've been having serious problems with my ASP scripts. Ok, for
the last week or so I’ve been working with you people and my
ISP to resolve this damn problem. Just last Monday, they told
me that it had been fixed. And it was true! I tried it and
everything once again worked fine. I made a dozen tests, and
everything worked fine. But when I tried it again two days
later, it's suddenly back to crashing again, the exact same
damn problem I was having before! I’m so frustrated I could
kill. I don’t think I did anything. Yes, my ASP code still works.
Yes, the HTML code still works. It’s when the code attempts
to open a *.mdb database it crashes.
Call up my demo script (then click "Reservation.") : http://christiansencustomsoftware.com/guestbk/dindex.htm
which will demonstrate the problem.
A newsgroup I work with writes: “This sometimes happens when you try to use the new MS Jet provider on a Access 97 database, upgrade your Access database to 2000, should work just fine.”
Ok, so how can I upgrade my Access database to 2000?
Hi everyone,
I recently added a new page to an existing database in 97. All the previous pages run with a case number. I then upgraded to access 2003 and now the case numbers are out of snyc on the new page.
Can anyone help.
We keep having our backend tables corrupt. We want to upgrade only the backend tables to SQL server. I don't even know where to start. What version of SQL server? I guess I find out if we have an existing licence in the company? Any help on this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there an easy fast way to do this:
We are having problems upgrading to SQL server for only our backend tables. The problem is we have SQL reserved words that can only be used by SQL Server. There is a huge list I was given. I assume this applies to all objects, in our ms access database. Any suggestions on how to at least 'find' all of these at once? Or fix this easily? I know which tables would not upload ...but in looking through them I don't even see which reserved word is causing the issue???
Also..our front end application with stay Ms access 2003. Do I still need to update any reserved words in that or just the tables?
Good afternoon (well, it is here in the UK)
We have just changed from Access 97 to 2000 (only 6 years behind) and I use a database that has this piece of code running:
Private Sub DateOfAction_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.Requery
Forms![CallLogMain]![CallLogDetails]![Child68].Requery
Forms![CallLogMain]![CallLogDetails]![Child71].Requery
Forms![CallLogMain]![CallLogDetails].SetFocus
Forms![CallLogMain]![CallLogDetails]![CallID].SetFocus
End Sub
After the record was input 2 subforms would refresh to recalculate a field storing the total time and then it would set focus to the main form to allow you move to the next record.
Now the database has changed to 2000, this no longer works which is a pain in the bum.
Any ideas why this has happened?
Regards.
How unusual is it for a database to become MUCH smaller when converting it from 2000 to 2003 formats. I mean 600megs to 10 megs. And as far as I can tell all the records are intact....!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 5 databases running 100% in Access 2000. We are switching to Office 2003 within a couple weeks via an upgrade. What should I do to prep my databases for the switch?
Is there any upconverting tool I need to do ect? Thanks.
It's not letting me open it since i did it in 2003, and im trying to open it now at home in 2000.
I'd really appreciate if anyone can help me convert it and then attach it...thanks :o
Hi, I have a few Access 2003 databases and I need to open them on my computer which has Access 2000 on it. Can anyone please tell me how to convert it so it is compatible? I have looked into "databse utilities" "convert to" etc but can't figure it out.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have developed quite a few Access 2000 applications for clients and continue to maintain and update these applications. I am starting a new position with a client using Access 2003 at the client's location. I would like to upgrade to 2003 but I still need to service my 2000 clients. Can I install and run both versions of Access or can I still maintain the 2000 apps under 2003? Help!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI converted an MS Access 2000 DB to 2003 with no problems. I am able to open it up in Access 2003 now either by double clicking it or from Acccess - file open. I then created an MDE file in Access 2003, but when I tried to open it up I got a message saying
This database is in an unrecognized format.
The database may have been created with a LATER version of Microsoft Office Access than the one you are using. Upgrade your version of Microsoft Office Access to the current one, then open this database.
I noticed a service pack will get rid of this errror. My question is if I distribute the MDE will the user get the same error if they don't have the service pack installed on their PC? Will my installation of the service pack fix the errror and allow anyone to use the file without getting the message.
Thanks
I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
I have written my very first database in Access 2003 but it tells me that it has been saved in Access 2000 Format.
My questions are:
1. Why has it done this?
2. Can I change it 2002 or 2003 format?
Hi,
I'm just wondering if there is any differences in writing queries in vba in different versions of access. i'm developing a search function in access 2000, but it doesn't seem to be working. however, the same code in access 2003 works fine.
Here's an extract of the code when the search button is clicked (I'm getting table information, attribute/field information and condition they're specifying from the user. The result is then displayed in a subform):
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
Dim searchSQL As String
Me.cmbTable.SetFocus
searchSQL = "select * from ENGINEERS INNER JOIN TEL_CABLING ON ENGINEERS.EngID = TEL_CABLING.EngID where " & Me.cmbTable.Text & "."
Me.cmbAttribute.SetFocus
searchSQL = searchSQL & Me.cmbAttribute.Text
Me.txtCondition.SetFocus
searchSQL = searchSQL & Me.txtCondition.Text
Me.subfrmTest.Form.RecordSource = searchSQL
Me.subfrmTest.Form.Requery
End Sub
The part in red is the part that is highlighted whenever i run it in access 2000. The error message is: " You entered an experession that has an invalid reference to the property RecordSource "
Can anyone tell my why it's like that and how i can fix it to work for access 2000?
Thanks I've also enclosed a picture of the form, so you can get a feel of what it looks like.

I am working on a massave aplication that has been running in Access 2000, but recently several of the file sharing users have installed Access 2003 because of the limited availability of Access 2000. All the users are using the same file off the server.
The problem we are having is that when we reference a subform in the "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName]![FeildName]" Access 2003 does not recognize it and returns an error. I have found that if I will modify it to "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName].[Form]![FeildName]" it is recognized in both 2000 and 2003.
To try and change every instance of a subform reference will take forever and I am garuteed to overlook something. We reference subforms all over our program, missing any one of them would be a disaster. Before I went to the tedious task of looking through everything I just wanted to throw the situation out there and see if any of you had any great ideas on how to get it fixed efficiently. I would apreciate any ideas.

Hi,
I've created a database in access 2003 with the default file format being Access 2000. Everything works fine on my computer and many others, all of whom are running different versions of access (2000, 2002 & 2003).
I have not had any problems with this database until recently and in the last few weeks we have had 2 users, both of them being Access 2000 users who have had the same problem.
The problem they are having is that when they click on any of the switchboard items, the buttons depress an then come back up again when the cursor is moved away, but nothing else happens - no action, no error message - nothing!!! Its the same for all of the buttons on the switchboard.
Does anyone know what is causing this? I have another computer with Access 2000 on it and this works fine, as it does on several other computers runiing Access 2000, I just cannot understand why it is not working on these 2 particular machine.......
Many thanks in anticpation.

Someone please help.
Hi,
A few years ago I’ve made an access database on access 2000. The problem is that now I’ve installed the office 2003, and I can’t make the database work properly.
At first says that are missing those files: “tshoot.ocx”, “msioff9.ocx” and “msowc.dll”; so, I’ve copy them from another computer using office 2000 and now only complains about “msioff9.ocx” saying that my database contains a reference incomplete to it.
Is there no other way to convert my database do work properly with access 2003? What can I do?
Regards
Hi:
The company I am consulting with uses Access 2000 and has no intentions of upgrading. I currently do not own Access on my laptop.
I was planning to purchase Access 2003 for my laptop but am concerned that files I create in 2003 might not be "editable" in 2000 even if I choose the 2000 format when creating new databases.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried creating a file in 2003 (using the 2000 format - as I'm told you can choose what format you want to use) and then edited it in 2000. I want my client to be able to edit the files in 2000 once I've moved on. (I can get 2003 for about the same price as 2000 - so my preference would be to get 2003.) The other obvious reason for going for 2003 is that I could run into the reverse challenge if I own 2000 and my next client uses 2003. At that point, I'd be forced to upgrade to 2003.
My databases are not complex - but do include some customized macros.
Any help, comments... appreciated.
Thx,
dave

I have successfully used the recommended way to display images from a folder in a form as posted on the microsoft website.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210100/
These instructions were for Access 2000. I noticed that there are seperate instructions for doing this using Access 2003.:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285820/
My questions are:
1. If multiple users access this database using different versions of Access (2000 and 2003) will it not work for some?
2. do i have to modify code if i update to 2003?
Thanks for youir feedback!
