Hi folks
I wonder if you can help with these two questions please?
To compact and repair a FE, does each client have to be logged off or doesn't it matter?
What's the difference between make database replica and make database backup in access?
Thanks a lot,

1) There are some databases here at work that I can open in BOTH A97 and A2K. I thought A2K won't open in A97, and before you can open an A97 in A2K, you have to convert? At least that's been my experience thus far. Any idea what is happening and how I can determine which version these databases are currently in?
2) With those same databases...assuming some were A97, the option to Convert them under Database Utilities is greyed out. Is this most likely a rights issue? Could it be anything else?
Thanks for the help!
Hi,
Recently I created a database using MS Access for the company and I am the Admin for it. The database is in the share folder and many employees are using it but if I want to take backup or modify any thing a message is appearing saying that one user open the database.
Is there any method to know which user is opening the database and in which PC (workstation) it is open.

Hi all,
A quick question!
Is it possible to have a table of 10 random questions and an inital form created with those questions in the form of checkboxes. When you chose random questions from that pool of questions a new brand form and table have the option to be created.
Basically, I have many external databases to research and some of the questions are the same in each database. Each database must be saved as individual tables and forms.

Hello,
I have few questions so please bare with me
1- i want the text box to change automatically according to date so i
tried this:
if date>text14.text then text30.text=sea else text30.text=port
but nothing happens
2-i made a form but not all the data rows in the table are in the form(there`s still some rows)
so if i delete a data that are in the form how i can automatically delete the data that
are in the other row ?
3-this may sound stupid..but is there a way to stop the access logo from apearing when
loading the database?and how to make access directly open a specified form?
Thank you very much all.
I am designing a database and have a couple of questions.
I have designed a form that I have opening at startup. How do I force this to maximize on opening?
I have set up a report based on a query. It works fine. The query requires a parameter to be entered when it is run. The parameter comes from a list (of teachers in my school). How do I set up the query so that the 'Enter Parameter' dialog box provides a drop down list of teachers from which the user selects their name?
PS I have almost no knowledge of Visual Basic!
Thanks for your help.

I have a database of employees, sales, products(Sky and Mobile Phone Contracts) and customers(Need to be common and shared between all products). ( A door-to-door marketing company)
Since each product requires different inputting tables, I have inserted all the required fields into the tblSales and then I want to run a query in order to select the needed fields and create a new Sale of a specific product.
However at the same time I want to create a new customer, assign the sale to an employee, select the commission ID that he is going to receive for the job... etc. Well as you can see the problem is that it is not letting me do it due to the fact that an entry is missing in the other table for that client or a client is not yet created for the sale. (Only one autonumber is assigned.)
What am I doing wrong?
Just in case you want to look at my mess... I have attached the DB :P
Hello,
I have the following "range" table. I have a "txtBoxA" (numeric) and "txtBoxPrice". I have to look in the table for the corresponding range of "txtBoxA" and retrieve the VALUE for that range and store it in "txtBoxPrice"
LOW HIGH VALUE
1 500 40
501 1,000 70
1,001 2,500 90
Example: "txtBoxA" = 200 then the corresponding VALUE would be 40 and I would have to store 40 in "txtBoxPrice"
How would I do this??
I'm doing this in ACCESS
Thank you

Hi everyone,
I'm developing a small Access 2003 application for a purchase service that includes managing informations about Suppliers, Customers, Carriers, and Orders.
With the Orders issue, I'v created a form to enter all the informations about the order; customer, supplier, carrier, orderID, and a subform to enter the items with their quantity and unit price... I want to:
1- Add a botton in the form that opens a Word document; a Purchase Order, that includes all the information entered in the form.
2- Add a botton to send this document as an attachement from Access via Outlook.
I need a guide step by step to understand how it works in Access with examples if is it possible.
Any help is highly appreciated,
Best Regards,

hi everyone
urgent help needed with creating a query please...
I have a table with AutoNumber as primary key.
The second column is called ClassID and the third column is called TeacherID.
I want to run a select query that finds all records where the ClassID column and TeacherID column match.
Basically I want to find records where the fields are duplicated.
How do I do this either through Access query builder or SQL view?
Thanks in advance
Hi Friends,
I am not very gud in MS Access.Please check out the below example and help me.
Product_name Price
P1 $20

Mon Week_no Prod_name No_of items
1 1 P1 4
1 4 P1 10
2 4 P1 20
3 4 P1 10
2 3 P2 50........
Assume that Price of P1 changed to $40 in Feb.
Now I want to calculate amount earned by selling P1 from Jan to March.
Remember (For Jan the rate will be $20 and from Feb to March it will be $40)
If I calculate manually it will be - 4*$20 + 10*$20 + 20*$40 + 10*$40
But How do I do it using a query or code??

Hi i have a problem coming up with the ans to the last part of this text. Can anyone help me?
The information technology (IT) department in your school has asked you, a part-time
employee at the department, to help create a database to track fundraising activities
and donations in your school. In the past, the schools fund-raising foundation has
been manually maintaining detailed records of donors and fund-raising activities. The
schools president has recently asked the IT department to help computerize the
foundations records. Your job is to design and implement the database for the
foundation. The following information is captured in the manual records:
1. Individual_Donor name, address, email and phone number.
2. Company_Donor company name, company address, company email address
company phone number, main contact, main contact phone number, main
contact email and phone number
3. Amount of donation and date of donation
4. The donation can be a one-off donation or a monthly donation (interval of one
month from the date of the first donation)
5. Name of fund-raising campaign (New building fund, President fund,
Scholarship fund, Bursary fund, Star fund)
1. Draw the ERD and database schemas for the donor database that you will
design for the foundation. Decompose the ERD where necessary. You can
make any assumptions that are reasonable for the design. Make sure to
suggest attributes that should be included but are currently not in the manual
system.
(5 marks)
2. Implement the ERD in Access. Design the tables for the donor database. If
the NRIC number of the individual donor is not available right now, what is an
appropriate primary key for the individual donor? Populate your database
donor with records.
...................(3 marks)
3. Create an input form(s) for the donor database. In your design of the input
form(s), create (a) an input mask for a control and (b) a validation rule for a
control
(4 marks)
4. Create a report that lists the donations in the order of descending amount of
donations. Put in the appropriate donation details. Separate individual
donations from company donations. Aggregate the donations for each
category
..(2 marks)
5. Perform the following queries on your database.
a. What is the largest amount of total donations received over a single
month period (first of the month till end of the month) for 2005?
b. Which are the company donors that donated on a monthly basis and
how much are the donations?
c. List the details of individual donors that donated to the New Building
and state how much they are donating to the fund and on what dates.

Hi all
I am new to Access and have just designed a new database and was wondering if anyone could help with a few questions.
1/ I am setting up a Macro to send an e-mail on the change of a form. When the e-mail is generated by Access I get a message from Outlook stating that "A program is trying to automatically send e-mail..." and asks you to confirm that it is ok to go. Is there any way to bypass this check or alternatively send the e-mail from a specific e-mail address rather than the database user.
2/ I have changed the background colours on a number of my forms but the Record Selector's and Scroll Bar stay the standard Access Grey. Is there anyway to change these?
3/ I have used the User Security Wizard to setup users, groups and access but I can't seem to see a way to limit the number of simulateous logins a person can have i.e. I can log in more than once with the same user when I only want to be able to login once. Any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

http://img276.imageshack.us/img276/2695/11ch1.png
is it possible to make a Totals column which automatcily adds up the data in the Fraud, Competition, Loss of data, etc rows? (similar to MS Excel if possible)
Hey guys, bit of a novice here
Say your got a database that has many users & in which quite alot of information is added to it on a regular basis. Basically its getting slower, what could be the problems & how could you fix it???
Hi all, I built a system in access for my a level IT course a few years back but haven't had need to use access since. just been asked to build simple system at work and i'm forgetting some really simple things. trouble is i think i'm overcomplicating the terms and can't find anything in the help file!
basically the system is to keep track of how many hours various people have worked on various jobs.
I've got 3 tables:
Jobs - job id, location etc etc
Staff - staff id, name etc
link - job id, staff id and hours worked.
the job and staff tables have the id as the primary key, and i've set the relationship to link them to the corresponding field in the link table. which is all fine if i remember rightly?!
now what i'm trying to do is set up a form for entring the hours worked etc into the link table. we use job id numbers all the time so i have that as a drop down box. what i want is to have a drop down for employee names, which will insert the employee id into the link table- basically so we can work with names rather than numbers. for the life of me i can't remember how to do it. i know is really simple but i can't find a way to express what i want to do to search for it in the help or online!
if anybody can refresh my memory it would be much appreciated!
