Using ACCESS97 On WindowsXP Pro OS
Dec 14, 2005
I am a long time user of ACCESS but use ACCESS97 for specific reasons. Have ACCESS97 operating on a PC with Win2000 and WinXP Home. Recently had to buy a new PC with WinXP Professional. Cannot seem to install the software. In the process get some error messages. First,
"An error has occurred at changing workgroup data base"
I click OK then get,
couldn't create SYSTEM.MDW file; after setup completes, reboot and run Workgroup Administrator before you run this application
I don't know what to do next. Do not know what the Workgroup Administator is. Two questions:
1. Is it possible to run ACCESS97 on this OS?
2. If so, can you advise on how to do the installation successfully?
I appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Cheers!

does anyone know how I can get the Windows XP style command buttons to work in Access 2000? I'm on an actual XP pro machine and I'm sure there's an active x control somewhere... just don't know where to look

I'm familiar with SQL but not with Access97 - some wierd syntax here!
I'm creating a Query that is to Delete records from a table depending on a non-key field in a second table.
I first tried an INNER JOIN
DELETE Activity_Preferences.*
FROM Activity_Preferences INNER JOIN Activity_Key
Activity_Preferences.Activity_Key=Activity_Key.Act ivity_Key AND Activity_Key.Complete=1;
which was initially accepted but then complained about the INNER JOIN after I went in a second time to 'fix' the error.
I've finally got the following syntax accepted:-
DELETE Activity_Preferences.*
FROM Activity_Preferences, Activity_Key
WHERE Activity_Preferences.Activity_Key=Activity_Key.Act ivity_Key AND Activity_Key.Complete=1;
But when executed still gets the following error (same as for the INNER JOIN):-
'Operation must use an updatable query'.
What else is needed?

I have a multi user 97 DB which also has a 2000 front end with tables linked to the 97 version. The 97 version won't open on 97 machines, 'unknown database format'......at first I thought someone had converted it but it doesn't look like that has been done. When I open on a 2000 machine there is no option to 'convert to a previous version'.
I have run compact and repair on both DB's.
Any ideas what the problem could be.
Thanks

Hi! I've got a problem with a csv file from our MRP system. It always contains spaces BEFORE the data in the fields and I need to ignore them when I group the data. The crosstab report works absolutely fine but I don't get the right output because of those darned spaces!!:mad:
HELP!!:confused:

...not too much in the archives on this one, so any help appreciated...
We have an Access97 MDE with a split backend that is shared over a network.
Most of our users have WinNT installed and the Access application works fine. We have a user who has Win2K and Office2k and every time this person tried to launch the Access97 app, he receives the following error:
The database that you are trying to open or convert is currently in use, or you do not have permission to open it exclusively.
I have checked the Security Permissions for that user and he actually has full rights (Admin) for the Network folder.
Anyone else experienced this ?

Hi All,
I've been working on many other domains but very new to Access world. Anyway,coming to the point.I have a database built on Access and the reporting is being done on Excel.Till now,there is no connection between both.Users are doing copy/paste procedure for reporting in excel.i tried to connect both and get the data directly in to excel with out copy/paste procedure(i.e., just by refreshing the excel sheet would do). But when i create an ODBC connection between them, it says that the required permissions are not given to you by the administrator.I'm trying to create a file DSN.so,can anyone tell me what exactly i need for this?is it the admin rights of access database (or) the admin rights of the folder where the mdb file is located?little confused on this.I already have the admin rights on the folder where the mdb file is located but still getting the error.admin rights of the datasbe cannot be given because no one knows the password of administrator ID of Access database(little funny but it is the fact!)
can anyone please let me know how can i get through this problem as this would be the crucial thing for this project.
Regards,
Ravindra

I bought a database about 10 years ago and still uses it. Since then we changed our address and need to update all the forms as the address is hard coded into the forms. When I tried to modify any thing it tells me I don't have the Permission. I tried to contact the programmer, but he's been out of business years ago and was unable to contact him.
How do I reset the permission on MDB? I tried Tools->Security->User/GroupPremissions and it only shows Admin user with "Read Design" checked on all object names. And if I check on any other permission it says I need administer permission.
I tried upvmsa2k.zip "Users' passwords viewer v3.2" and it shows admin user with garbled up password. Also tried MDWRecovery, but it says there's no user or password.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I noticed that I did not put a question mark next to this the first time I posted it, so maybe it was not clear that I was hoping for a response. Here I go again. We are trying to reinstall Access97 (the OS is Office XP) and having problems getting all of the drivers to install. Using the "Add or Remove Programs" in the Control Panel to make sure that all drivers have been installed, it says that the Excel drivers are installed, though it is grey, which I take to mean that it is not completely installed. On the computer in question, it says that the database drivers take up 1329k and the excel drivers are" installed" (no size listed). On my computer, on which the excel drivers are available, it lists the database drivers as 2009k and the excel drivers 258k (it does not say "installed"). Anybody have any ideas?

My organization recently upgraded from Office97 to Office2000. A database that we had on 97 is giving us errors when we try to run it under 2000. I have been able to fix some of the errors. This one has me stumped.
I'm getting an error 13; type mismatch and it is calling out this line:
Set Mydb = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).Databases(0)
Any help is greatly appreciated. This is the complete function:
Function RegistrationData(Reqinfo As String) As String
On Error GoTo error_registrationdata:
Dim Mydb As DAO.Database
Dim MyRS As DAO.Recordset
Set Mydb = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).Databases(0)
Set MyRS = Mydb.OpenRecordset("REGISTRATION")
Select Case Reqinfo
Case "CommandName"
RegistrationData = MyRS.COMMAND
Case "CommandCode"
RegistrationData = MyRS.COM_CODE
Case "CommandAddress"
RegistrationData = MyRS.COM_ADDRESS
Case "CommandManager"
RegistrationData = MyRS.COM_MANAGER
Case "CommandPOC"
RegistrationData = MyRS.COM_POC
Case "CommandPhone"
RegistrationData = MyRS.COM_PHONE
Case "CommandFax"
RegistrationData = MyRS.COM_FAX
Case "ClinicName"
RegistrationData = MyRS.CLINIC
Case "ClinicCode"
RegistrationData = MyRS.CLI_CODE
Case "ClinicAddress"

If Not IsNull(MyRS.HROFile) Then
RegistrationData = MyRS.HROFile
Else
RegistrationData = "error"
End If
Case "AboutYN"
RegistrationData = MyRS.ABOUTYN
Case "ActivityName"
RegistrationData = MyRS.ActivityName
Case Else
RegistrationData = "error"
End Select
end_registrationdata:
Exit Function
error_registrationdata:
MsgBox "There was an error retrieving data from the Registration Table. Please ensure all data is filled in correctly."
RegistrationData = "x"
Resume end_registrationdata:
End Function

does anyone know if it's possible to "install" the runtime version of access 97 (we do have developer's edition, so can distribute the run-time version) to a thumb drive so that it would run without having to install it on each computer that one was going to use the thumb drive on - is there any add'l software that would make this possible/ - the application is for figure skating clubs - with distribution of up to 1000 copies - the idea is to distribute them to member clubs and various officers could use the application and exchange up-to-date data by passing on the thumb drive - this also would hpefully avoid all installation problems with pc's having various versions of access already installed, etc. - thanks for any suggestions- jim

I am converitng a database with quite a bit of associated code from A97 to A2000. The following fails:
Dim ctlSample As Control
Set ctlSample = CreateControl(frm.Name, acLabel, acDetail, "", _
, sngLeft, sngTop, conWidthLabel, conHeight)
'set properties of the sample label
With ctlSample
.Caption = rst!SampAbrv
Is there a new syntax for ctl.caption in 2000? I've tried help and a web search but no joy.
Thanks,
Tiffany

I am importing a text file into Access97 using fixed width with import specifications that specify NO to indexing. However, when I run the Macro, it automatically indexes the first field (which is a long integer).
Why? How do I import the text file without having the index automatically added?
