I'm new to Access and was wondering what the storage capacity was for a table.
I am presently working with a table that's approx. 70 columns and about 6,000 rows (and growing). Does anyone know at what point I'll be hitting a wall? It's already too big for me to import into Excel (which is another problem).
Thanks
hi,
What's the total storage capacity of Access Database
how many records can be saved at Max
how many Tables Can be Created at Max
any idea abt This
thanks for helping
How much datas Access 97 can records to database?
I have 6 tables and these are similar. In the table is three fields. These are ID, barcode and scandate.
How much data records Access can save to per table? about...I will be about 1000-3000 data records to field per table in day.
Is possible do a real time backup copy of database? Like that Access doing a backup archive every day and cleans old fields same time from tables. I have Loops which adds a barcodes from serial ports to tables all times...

I JUST WANTED TO FIND OUT THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF THE ACCESS 2003 AND WHAT WOULD YOU ADVISE B/4 IT GET THERE. I HAVE A DATABASE AND I WOULD LIKE IT TO HOLD INFORMATION FOR AT LEAST 1YEAR 6 MONTHS
THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE IN ADVANCE
Hai all,
Let me know the maximum capacity of access database..how many tables can include in the database..is their any limitations?
Example: 2GB, 3GB Like Thir any Limitaions of the Capacity of Database
Any one Help
Thanks & Regards

i am busy with creating a access storage database and need to calculate the number of days a vehicle is in storage, i have a [date in] field and a [date out] field. i need to calculate if [date out] is empty to use today otherwise [date out] - [date in]
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat I have now is an excel template (with ~12 worksheets) that many regional offices use to enter in some lease data, from which the excel sheet creates a rental schedule and does a whole ton of calculations on that data. Some are NPV calculations, some are yields etc etc.Eventually, I would like to:
1) Enable users to fill out one of these templates, and save the data to the database (Just the inputs? All the data? My reading suggests just the inputs)
2) Use the database to produce one of these templates for any lease in our system (shouldn't be hard, from what I've read)
3) Sum up calculations from this template for many records (eg. if a tenant has many leases, what is the NPV of all of those leases, or what is the total NPV for all tenants)
I have the inputs (from Access) I will have no problem using them in the excel version, but does it make sense to use Access given that I may need to somehow be switching back and forth to get the info I want for my various reports? I am very comfortable writing macros in VBA for excel, so if that's the solution, that is no problem. I assume what I need for #1 and #2 is a macro to arrange the inputs from the excel sheet into a format that can easily be dropped into access tables and vice versa.
I plan to create a multi-user application on access 2000. There would be more than 20 users simultaneously logging in the database. The database would be kept in Server with high config. The users would work on the database (server) from their workstations. Forms/Queries/Reports ... are in the workstation (client). The database may growup to 70 MB every 3 months. The application will run on the database for 3 months which will be replaced with a new one after that period. Is it a good plan to do so on Access 2000. Am worried about the network traffic. Will the users face it as a very slow application ???
(SysConfig workstation: Win2K Pro/ 128 MB RAM/ 40GB HDD/Pentium-4)
Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Hi,
I have a listbox from where i can make selections and generate a report for the selected values , the problem is the selections are limited to 28 selections, if i try to select even one more after that i get an error:
" Run time error '7769' "
" The filter operation was cancelled. The filter would be too long."
Now is there anyway to make this limited selection changed to a higher value or unlimited??? so i can select as much choices as i can , even all of them if i want? Does anyone have an idea , i looked throught the properties of the listbox but no help.
thankx,

Hi,
I have been reading throguh various articles and learning a lot from you guys, so thank you very much. This place is a fantastic source of information, by far the best of anything i have found online.
I have a question which i would be grateful if someone could advise upon.
Access 2003. I have 4 tables:
list_accommodation (holding host family address details who offer accommodation to students)
id (autonum)
name (text)
address (text)
etc.....
list_rooms (table of rooms offered by host families)
room_id (autonum)
host_id (number) - joined to list_accommodation.id
room_name (text)
capacity (number)
students (student contact details who want accommodation!)
id (autonumber)
name (text)
dateofbirth (date)
address (text_
etc.....
bookings_accommodation (to hold the accomm bookings)
booking_id (autonum)
room_id (num) - joined to list_rooms.room_id
student_id (num) - joined to students.id
start_date (date)
end_date (date)
This structure therefore enables me to query if rooms are booked between dates:
SELECT bookings_accommodation.room_id, bookings_accommodation.start_date, bookings_accommodation.end_date
FROM list_rooms INNER JOIN bookings_accommodation ON list_rooms.room_id = bookings_accommodation.room_id
WHERE (((bookings_accommodation.start_date) Between DateAdd("d",0,[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_start_date]) And DateAdd("d",-1,[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_end_date]))) OR ((([end_date]-1) Between DateAdd("d",0,[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_start_date]) And DateAdd("d","0",[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_end_date]))) OR (((bookings_accommodation.start_date)<DateAdd("d",0,[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_start_date])) AND (([end_date]-1)>DateAdd("d","-1",[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_end_date])));
and therefore, using the 'booked' query i can therefore find out rooms are available.
SELECT list_rooms.room_id, list_rooms.room_name, list_rooms.capacity, list_rooms.description, list_rooms.host_id
FROM list_rooms LEFT JOIN qry_rooms_reserved ON list_rooms.room_id = qry_rooms_reserved.room_id
WHERE (((qry_rooms_reserved.room_id) Is Null));
----
so, now i have found out that there is a necessity to enable students to share a room (the bookings for a room may not happen at the same time). This means that i have to determine the capacity of a room and therefore if
the capacity is not full, then show as available.
I was wondering what the best approach to this may be?
I have added 'capacity' to list_rooms, but i am unsure as to how to go from there....
Any thoughts and advice woudl be really appreciated.
Many thanks
Phil.
I've read several previous threads regarding this...but could not find an answer:
Is it possible to store a PDF file in a table?
I know that I can store a hyperlink with the path to a PDF file located elsewhere, but I would rather store the file in the database itself.
If it can be done, how do you do it? Are threre drawbacks?
Thank you.
(this is a repost )
I will skip the basic intro of "Hi im new to access and i dont know.."
anyways, what I am trying to search for and I dont know what Im looking for is this.
Q1) I would like to be able to open a zip file, read the NFO/txt file from within and import certain areas of the NFO file,the NFO file of course is layed out with ascii art but there is a predetermined area where certain info is obtained. for example: I would like to capture/import the URL, testers name, date avaliable, zip file name.THEN the text imported would be written to the database. It would be nice to figure out how you go about importing certain lines but im not sure how to ask the question and find the answer the right way. ie...(ascii art found here http://www.ascii-art.de/)
-= I did search import text and get text and didnt find what I was looking for=-
Q2) How do I write to an ascii file/nfo/txt using access, there is a template or a layout that is pre done,and i need certain fields filled out, just like they above layout.
thanks for all your help, you guys are awsome, and keep up the good work!
I am not sure whether this is a problem with MS Access, Visual Basic or Windows.
I have taken over supporting & developing an MS Access 2000 DB for a small charity & am not an Access expert or a programmer. The Application includes processing to create, amend & store retrieve standard letters based on a Word document called MyMerge.doc. The operating systems is Windows XP for the PCs with a MS Server 2003.
Each letter is allocated a number ‘CallID’ which is used to retrieve the letters later. The letter text is in MessageC.
The VB code to store the letters (Save As) is
Dim strTest As String, db As DAO.Database
Dim td As DAO.TableDef
Set db = CurrentDb
For Each td In db.TableDefs
If Len(td.Connect) > 0 Then MessageE = Mid(Left(td.Connect, InStrRev(td.Connect, "") - 1), 11)
GoTo jumpout
Next
jumpout:
MessageC = "%fa" & MessageE & "Db Letters" & MessageC & " " & (CStr(Forms!Contacts![PostalCode])) & " " & Trim(DLookup("[TitleType]", "Title Types", "[TitleTypeID] = Forms!Contacts![TitleTypeID]") & " " & Forms!Contacts![FirstName] & " " & Forms!Contacts![LastName])
objWord.Application.Activate
SendKeys MessageC
The VB code to retrieve the letters is
Dim MessageE As String, db As DAO.Database
Dim td As DAO.TableDef
Set db = CurrentDb
For Each td In db.TableDefs
If Len(td.Connect) > 0 Then MessageE = Mid(Left(td.Connect, InStrRev(td.Connect, "") - 1), 11)
GoTo jumpout
Next
jumpout:
Dim WordApp As Word.Application
Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordApp.Visible = True
WordApp.Application.Activate
MessageE = "%fo" & MessageE & "Db Letters*" & CallID & "*.doc"
SendKeys MessageE
Set WordApp = Nothing
GoTo Exit_Command53_Click
The success rate varies from PC to PC and user to user. It will work with one letter and not the next. It is very difficult to identify a pattern. When the Save As does not offer the expected name & path, the Application (or operating system?) offers to save ‘MyMerge’ to the user’s My Documents folder.
In that case I tell the users to correct the path themselves and save the document under the CallID. Theoretically, retrieval should work since this uses the CallID and wild cards. Sometimes it does but often it will instead retrieve a document in the user’s My Documents folder. If it does go to the right folder, you sometimes have to replace the last wild card with ‘.doc’. I have tried replacing the last wild card in the VB code with ‘.doc’ but this does not work!
Finally, I alone get the message ‘Save failed due to out of memory or disk space’, neither of which is true. This makes it very difficult to continue investigating the problem. If I use a copy of the DB on my hard drive rather than the network I can save but not retrieve.
I found this page (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824263) as a pretty good reference for field data types, but there's some things I still want to know.
What's the per-character storage on a Memo and Hyperlink field (ignoring compression)?
Are AutoNumber types (Long, Replication ID) unsigned?
Do null [non-text] fields still use their full capacity?
I am trying to build a database for my digital photo collection.
(having pretty much gven up on the packages I see in the market)
Since most of the images reside on CD's and DVD's, I want to create
and store thumbnails and pointers (ie. location fully qualified name),
rather than a copy of the full image.
1. How do I define the fields in the table for the thumbnail, and the pointer?
2. How can I use the pointer value to retrieve the full image?
Any ideas and tips on where to start?
Thanks,
Roy
Hi everyone,
I am using a table that stores data and one of the fields is just a text field with a maximum length of 10.
However, when I store the data in the field, if I only enter 5 letters in it, it stores the 5 letter word correctly but followed by some spaces (I assume 5 spaces but I may be wrong.
I cannot figure out why does anyone know why?
If not, then can I trim the field if I use it in a query/report?
Thanks.
Gareth.
I am hoping someone can help with the following...
I have a form which calculates values based on (of corse) the info entered on the form and some subforms for example...
here is one of my formulas
=Form!QuiltTypes!QuiltPrice*[TotalInches]
I am assuming that because this is a formula the value will not be saved in the table... or at least its not doing that now.
Can someone tell me how I can move my formula values to my table for storage?
This is my first time here so if you need more info or anything please let me know.
Hi
My database is to have a Personnel data area whereby I can store all relevant details for employees within the company.
I plan to incorporate a feature whereby I can alos maintain a history of documentation written and issued including links to the actual documents for that employee during their time with the company.
Has anyone done a similar thing they would be willing to allow me to use?
I figure this would contain links to work documents stored on the hard drive in a specific folder. Selection of a specific item from a historical list - would invoike Word /similar and display the appropriate file...
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thank you.
hi all,
got a wee problem... i have a number of graphs showing volume (x axis) and pressure (y axis) for particular pipe sizes.... (it's for pneumatic conveying)
depending on the resolution of the hand drawn graph there could be 100's of points along a single graph line (x and y points)....
My program basically needs to select a point(x and y) closest to the graph line that it intersects. (come on mech. engineers)
Problem is how should i store / input the graphs into the db file?
I'm trying to avoid have to literally input every x 'n y point per line per graph... there are about 20 lines per graph and a 100 odd graphs!!!
I was thinking of inputing a start and end point then use some sort of formulae to draw a logical line and pick up all the xy points i need, then store them...
Any thoughts?
Thanks
I have a VBA program which is stored in an Access database. The program creates letters using Word template documents as well as new Excel sheets. When one of the users in my team undertakes this process she is unable to create the files (although she could before). The following error message occurs initially for the word documents:
"The document could not be registered word 2010. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to the document"
When I enter debug and attempt to run the code again the file opens but subroutine halts again and I get a different message:
"Could not open Macro storage"
The line of code which is identified for both errors is:
Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(TemplateLocation)
Where wdDoc is the a Word.Document, wdApp is a Word.Application and TemplateLocation is the path for the template
I have already checked the following:
- 'Trust access to the VBA project object model' in the Trust centre is ticked and Macro Security is set to none.
- DCOM Server Process Launcher is set to automatic in Services (Local)
I have a table with inventory items, a separate table with storage charges per day (ex .03, .04, .05 per day/per item)
I have created some queries where I take the items & # of days they have been in storage and when I try and create an expression for storage charges based upon QTY & # of days I am getting results like it is multiplying whole numbers and not very small increments like .03
I have checked the math, and its not multiplying by 3 instead of .03... I cant quite figure out how it is coming up with the numbers.
Again, the pricing is coming from a lookup wizard to another table. It seems like it should be a very straight forward expression but I cannot get it to work. Does the figures being from a lookup have any issues?
I have this database with the purpose to storage all the tasks that are done in my team. I have a table named Tasks with all their fields. Now, I would like to set a more user friendly way for clients to update this table. I have created another table with a list of most common tasks, so when a client wants to add their tasks list they can choose one of this tasks and add it to the list. I had created a form with multiple items that contains the common tasks and next to each task a button that adds the information they choose into the table "Tasks". This works just fine. However, I would like to add a single button at the top to add all the tasks instead of having to choose one after one.
The "Add All tasks" button has this code:
Private Sub Command79_Click()
Dim valSelect As Variant, MyDB As DAO.Database, MyRS As DAO.Recordset
Set MyDB = CurrentDb()
Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("Tasks", dbOpenDynaset)
[Code] ....
Hello,
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard.
But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007.
I can't use the Package Wizard.
How can I do to solve this?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
Thanks in advance.
