Upsizing Wizard
Jul 27, 2007
Ok......
It's much as I thought it would be. MS Access is limited for a mid size database application. I have developed this mid size database for the medical clinic I work for. I didn't want to do it, but they saw some of my personal projects I created and pretty much told me to come up with something.
Well, the good news is, the database itself works exactly as designed, meaning it does its job very well. The bad news, and I knew it would happen, is instability. When I first started creating this program, I had no idea how many people would be using it at once. That, and after reading through these forums for the last few months, I realized that Access wasn't the puppy to be creating this database in. As it stands, about 130 - 150 systems access the database (about 3 times more than I originally forcasted.)
I'm sure those of you who have done something similar knows the next thing I'm about to say...... yep..... mysterious run-time errors - locked database from time to time - owc (office web component) errors...... etc. etc. These errors pretty much happen during peak hours.
I am pretty positive it's because access wasn't designed to handle such a load..... which led me to a researching a resolution. The answer that may be my savior is the upsizing wizard included with ms access. We do have MS SQL server running on a server...... I was just curious if anybody's ever used the upsizing wizard; either that, or has anyone ported an access project to sql. (This is a big program, and would hate to have to reprogram)

I have a MS Access 2003 database that is getting corrupted frequently. I am following all the rules to avoid this problem but it keeps boring me with "Access can´t recognize this database format" and I lose all my data.
I´ve sent the db to experts to try to recover it and they told me that it was impossible. So, I´m planning to change my Backend (BE) and keep my Access Frontend (FE), because I like Access very much.
My question: what is the best solution for BE?
SQL Server? Firebird? another one?
I hope by changing the BE I won´t have problems anymore...
Thanks in advance

Would anyone be willing to have a discussion about upsizing a large split database to SQL? I've managed the split using the wizard and it went very well. The problem is the performance, the form is really slow on opening and as it scrolls through records.
All my queries are saved. I would imagine it's the way I've built the form and base queries that's causing the problem and wondered if anyone would be willing to have a look at it for me and see if they can make any suggestions.
I'm struggling blind with this one.
Thanks.

Greetings:
I have been using front-end back-end database, which consists of three .mde files connected to an .mdb backend on a Windows Server 2003 Windows XP Professional network. The database is a flat-file. Because of problems associated with record corruption, related to multiple users and memo fields, I am looking to upsize my backend to MySQL or SQL Server both of which I know little about. Additionally I am hoping that upsizing will help alleviate the slowing down I am currently experiencing as the back end grows.
My question is am I looking in the right direction will either of these correct my problems and if so which of the two should I use.

HI.
Your help is very appreciated.
*I upsized ACCESS 2002 (tables only) to use SQL SERVER 7.0 as backend.
(linked tables).
* Almost all the ACCESS forms are bound type forms.
Now, I have two problems:
1. Other applications (not ACCESS ones) that use different dbs on the same SQL SERVER , are slowed down / halted.
2. My SQL SERVER license is limited to 8 "user counts". When there are 8 instances of the ACCESS app, any additional connection request is refused (from any app).
(I can't afford buying more "user counts").
I suspect that beacuse the forms are bound, it hold connection open as long as the form is used.
Also, each ACCESS app instance, opens its own connection.
The solution that I see, is to use unbound forms(disconnected), and opening the connection in code using connection pooling.
Would you recommend on this solution?
do you have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot
Roy

Hi,
I have developed a couple of database applications. This started as a small thing but now is growing to the point where I've got to make some decisions and would appreciate some guidance.
Presently:
Front end: 4 Different GUI's as local front ends.
Back end: Intranet network share on Win2k desktop (limited by O/S to 10 connections at one time)
Going forward, about 30 users will have access to the front ends and will all need concurrent access to the back end data. At some point, I would like to generate web pages from the data in the back end database and have the back end machine also be the web server for this.
So, what are my "best" options for the back end?
I was thinking of getting Win 2k3 Server running SQL server to drive the database.
The ability to integrate security with existing infrastructure would definitely be a plus, which I believe Win 2k3 can do.
I don't know very much about Win 2k3 or SQL server, but am willing to invest in learning the ins and outs as long as I can get it up and running with the same functionality I have now (with relative ease) and scale it as my capabilities with the OS and SQL server increase.
To be honest though, I am a little scared about how much I'll have to change my existing applications in order to make it work.
Your suggestions, comments, experiences most welcome and valued.
Thanks,
Al

I have upsized from Access 2003 to SQL Server 2008 R2 using upsizing wizard. Everything works fine. But I don't see relationship in SQL SErver 2008 R2 if I go to database. But I set relationship in Access 2003 before upsizing it.
Amso I don't see relationship (diagram) in Access 2003 , which I was able to see before.
So do I need to again recreate the relationship amongst the table in Access 2003 Or SQL SErver 2008 R2 ? I thought, if you link tables, everything should be taken care but i don't see relationship structure any more.

I have a table that shows all the company's PC's, and another table that shows all the software. I have a smart look up for a the PC's that when you click on it, it will show you all the software loaded to that machine. however, there is so much software loaded to these machines that when the look-up is clicked you can not read all of the software because it is listed horizontally. Is there any way that you can have the look-up view vertically. Any other ideas would be much appreciated.

Ok, I have Acc2k3 professional with Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System which according to MS includes the Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/office/officetools.aspx) that are required to package an MDE/ADE file using Acc2k3.
The question is how do I run it? I cannot find anything to do with packaging or deploying an Access file anywhere, not only in Access but ot the system and on the Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System cd.
I should point out that my PC has VB.NET 2003, Office 2003 (prof) and Office 2000 (prof - Access only) installed on XP SP2 (I believe that all relevant SPs and critical updates have been applied). I have tried upgrading my project from Acc2k to Acc2k3 and all to no avail.
TIA
Marcus.

Hi
I hope someone can help on here with this.
I am having problems using the package wizard. I can run through the first couple of steps on the package wizard, but when it asks for a language to cache, it fails to install the necessary files.
I have found the resolution on the MS KB site about copying the files to the HDD, and the renaming the exe file to SETUP.EXE, but whenever I select this file to cache, I get the following message:-
'C:SourceSETUP.EXE' could not be copied to 'C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataMicrosoftAccessADE11Cache1033SETUP.EXE'.
Verify that the source file exists, that you have write permissions on the destination folder. etc
I don't think it is permissions, as it does copy the msi and cab file to that particular folder, it's just the SETUP.EXE file that it doesn't copy over.
Has anyone ever experienced this before when using the Package Wizard?
Thanks

HI, I am using Access 2003
I tried using the security wizard and I think I, I know I should have read up rather that trying to set it up. I printed the security report so I can get back in to the db but now all db's on this pc require me to log in now. How do I remove this security? Can I just delete the security db that was created by the wizard?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
I want to manipulate a few tables and make them into one table, but I don't want all of their fields. I heard that I could do it with "map table wizard" from the top of the menu. Where can I find it? Or, can anyone recommend me what I should do better?
I use Office 2002.
Thanx.

I have three fields that I would like to have access the same table using the Lookup Wizard. I am unable to get the query to work.
Example:
The Fruit table has 5 records, let's say: orange, apple, banana, kiwi, strawberry.
The first field -- Fruit1 -- would use the Data Type Lookup Wizard referencing the Fruit table.
The second field -- Fruit2 -- would also use the Data Type Lookup Wizard referencing the Fruit table.
The third field -- Fruit3 -- would also use the Data Type Lookup Wizard referencing the Fruit table.
The bottom line: a person will have a choice of 3 fruits.
Again, the problem is that I cannot get the query to work where I choose =banana for the criteria for all three fields. Banana might be person one's first choice, but it might be person two's second choice, etc. I'm looking for all the bananas no matter which choice it is.
Your assistance is appreciated.

Hello,
I have just started on Access: creating 2 tables with primary keys and one-to-many relationships, and 2 simple queries. I want to create a form but can never complete the wizard or auto-form or else because it crashes with the pop-up message "object variable or with block variable not set" ? what does this mean?
thanks for your help.

I've been building a database with Access. When I added a combo box to a form, it used to pop up a wizard which would guide me through selecting the data the box displayed and what happened to the selection the user made.
It has now stopped displaying this wizard.
How can I turn it back on?

Howdy All!!! I am receiving the below error message:
"You have chosen fields from record sources which the wizzard can't connect. You may have chosen fields from a table and a form a query based on that table. If so, try choosing fields from onluy the table or only the querry."
OK here is what is going on... I have a table that is linked to a *.txt file. This *.txt file comes from our AS400 and is the root of all my information. It has 2 pieces of information in it that I need to seperate out and then eventually join back together. It is a space delimited file. The 2 pieces of information are:
1) Header (Dates, Vessell, and Container information)
2) Body (Product information and qty of each Container)
The mapping looks like this:
Header='ISPDD'
1- A Record Name = mid(1,5) [Ref. Example:ISPDD]
2- Unique Key = mid(6,7) [Ref. Example:0000001]
3- Container Number = mid(13,10) [Ref. Example:MK03000001]
4-Arrival Date = mid(23,8) [Ref. Example:06092004]
Body='ISPDT'
1- A Record Name = mid(1,5) [Ref. Example:ISPDT]
2- Unique Key = mid(6,7) [Ref. Example:0000001]
3- A item code = mid(13,6) [Ref. Example:007529]
4- A item color = mid(19,3) [Ref. Example:015]
5- Item Qty = mid(22,6) [Ref. Example:111111]
What I did is wrote 2 query's. One that looked at the *.txt file and produced results on [Like "ISPDD*"] to give me just the HEADER information. I then added the criteria from the space delimited mapping above. I did the same to pull out just the BODY information, again adding the criteria to the query from the space delimited mapping above.
Now that I have the two pieces of information, I want to run a report and combind the 2 together in a more reader friendly format. In doing so I received the error message above.
I then tried having the query's create a new table after they run (one Header Table and one Body Table). Once that completed I created a relationship between the 'UniqueKey Header' and 'UniqueKey Body'. This actually worked but, when I receive a new *.txt file and run the query it gives me read only/cannot delete files because of relationships. Needless to say I am in a bind. Hopefully I shared enough detail to help me with my problem. Many thanks in advance for the help. One other piece of info, This *.txt file can contain many headers and boddy information. I have received one that had at least 10 different Unique keys that had to be linked together.
Best Regards
Mike
