I have a database on a shared network drive. If you try to open the db (when another user already has the db open) from the route "my computer" then selecting the drive then selecting the db the message
"Microsoft Access can't find the database file 'M:lah blah blah'
Make sure you have entered the correct file and path name"
However, if you open the db through the access application it opens fine and there are no problems.
Has anyone come accross this before???
I have contacted our IT department who say that they cannot see why this is happening.
Recently I've been having a problem with Access (2003) that I can't seem to get around. If I click on "NEW" to create a new query, do some editing, then go to close, it prompts me as to whether or not I want to save, which would be ok, if it would let me choose NO!!
I only get OK or Cancel options. I've NEVER had this problem before. I have not done any updates added any addons. Is there some hidden trick here or some way to get around this cause its really annoying.
I have a backwards date between query. I have a table with Date1 and Date2 fields. On the form I have a calender control. I want the user to click a date on the calender control and then look at the rows in the table to see if that date is between the Date1 and Date2 fields.
So the query will be (in english) get all rows that CalenderDate1 is between Date1 and Date2
When I open my mainform through an onClick event of a button, the form opens up with the subform on it is disabled/closed -- Just a blank white box shows in place of the subform on my mainform. Here: http://img426.imageshack.us/img426/4672/shot29sj.th.jpg (http://img426.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot29sj.jpg)
However, when i go through the objects window and open the mainfrom directly. I am able to enter and update data and the subform shows up and works fine. Here: http://img420.imageshack.us/img420/5650/shot19ig.th.jpg (http://img420.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot19ig.jpg)
This is the code attached to the onClick event on the mainMenu
Private Sub New_Project_Click() On Error GoTo Err_New_Project_Click
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Project Status - Full Details2"
stLinkCriteria = "[projectId]= 0" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria [Form_Project Status - Full Details2]![Proj ID].Enabled = False
This is the record source on the mainform: The projectInfomation table is the record source SELECT * FROM projectInformation;
This is the record source on the subform: The projectStatusCommentary table is the record source
SELECT projectStatusCommentary.projStatusId, projectStatusCommentary.projectId, projectStatusCommentary.statusCommentary, projectStatusCommentary.commentaryDate FROM projectStatusCommentary;
The link fields are: projectInformation.projectId projectStatusCommentary.projectId
The tables are in sybase and my application has an ODBC connection to them. I can update any of the tables directly without issues. I have ran the queries independently and updated tables through the query and it works fine also.
I have been pulling my hairs out on this for over 3weeks now. cos i can't seem to find what's wrong. I am not able to attache the db cos it's very huge. But i have copied the problematic form &subform, to a new db so you may see my design, and record sources.
If you have any suggestions, ideas, or you've come across this kind of issue before, anything...please make my new Year a happy one and help :) I would really appreciate it! Have a happy and prosperous new year.
I have a database here that is run by users who use either Access 2002 (XP) or Access 2003.
I have noticed something which to me seems odd and dunno if any of you guys could explain why or how to resolve it?
If one of the 2002 users opens the database it opens fine first time (I use 2002 myself for development) however if a 2003 user opens it it can take 30s+ to open, but then if they close it it will re-open in just a couple of seconds like for the 2002 users.
However if a 2002 user opens it once a 2003 user has just closed it they will then take 30s or so to open it, but then again if they close and re-open it's almost instant.
Is that normal?
Incidentally office 2007 doesn't seem to suffer from this, but it's dead slow at running the database anyway so I'm not going down that route for the forseeable future!
Thanks in advance for any input!
I did try the recommended method of searching this forum using google but it didn't seem to work for me:(
I'm trying to sort a combo box alphabetically except for one value which is always at the top of the list.
The row source of the combo box is a query. record to remain at the top of the list is static- same value and ID number always. I've fiddled around with a few things, but at the end of the day, i'm just not smart enough! (or its not possible -which i doubt).. any suggestions? cheers.
I have a table linked to an SQL Server table in my MS Access 2000 Application containing 5 text-fields (SQL Server Type, in Access seen as MEMO-fields) and several other fields (in total about 140 fields). Updating any field works fine except for some records. In those records I can only edit the non-text-fields in my application. When I try to edit one of the text-fields I get a error message telling me that another user has edited the record and i have to discard my changes.
The strange thing is that this problem only crops up for some records. (1 in a 100 or so) All other records work fine.
Does anyone know what happens here? And how this can be fixed?
I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load() OpenTimer = Timer End Sub Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer() If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.
I am very close to completing a DB Program.... How can I create a desktop Icon that will Launch my Program without Loading Microsoft Access along with it???
If I have one access mdb file called "DATA" that contains tables and two access applications as mdb files: "app1" and "app2". Both applications has links to tables in access mdb file "DATA". Is there a way to open access file "DATA" exclusively when I open "app1" and open it shared when I run "app2"?
I have small problem that I can't get access to edit my own database because the are constantly people using it. So is it possible to kick uses off my database so that I get exclusive to edit it?
I have been working on a database back and forth and home and at work. Today I saved my database from home and onto my computer at work. The database is not opening here at work. It works fine at home. When I attempt to open it, it tells me Access has encountered a problem and needs to close and it closes.
I tried the Compact and Repair.. Access still shuts down on me. I made a new empted database and tried to import the tables and forms into it.. Access still shuts down on me.
It's getting frustrating because I've been trying to get this working for 3 hours now with no success.
I have made an application in access 2000. So what I have, 2 text fields and one button. I would like that when I click the button that access visits a site like this:
http://website.com/test.php?ID=5&NUM=23
where 5 and 23 are values from my fields in my form.
Here's a little problem I have and wondered if anyone knows a way around it.
I currently have many databases that I have created for work and they are quite happy running away doing what they are meant to do on a 2000/NT setup, we will soon be switching to our parent company's network 2003/XP/Citrix which is presenting me with the following problem and we do not have any control over how this is run.
We can no longer create desktop shortcuts to the databases as current, they will place 1 database in the start menu and would like this to be used as the database menu so that all databases are launched from this.
So I am trying to launch access databases from within an access database (Access XP), here's what I have tried so far
Shell - works when I use full MS Access but does not work in Run Time versio n which is what the users will access, shows no error, it just beeps and does nothing.
SendKeys - %fo<FileName>.mdb~ - again works in full access but not in Run Time as RT does not have 'open' in the file menu.
FollowHyperlink - this actually works but I can not get this to open the new database as a full screen window, this requires the user to either run everything maximized (not ideal as some forms are designed to run side by side) or for them to resize the main forms.
Are there any other ways to open a database from within access RT version that will open the access application full screen?
I have a file that is called vot.xls, but it is a tab delimited text file. I would like a button on a form called import to open it up in excel and save it as a worksheet vot.xls file.
My program was almost finished, and everything was just fine when a fatal error occurred!
I tried to open my access application and my startup page appears, when i introduce the values I need to introduce here (username and password), a microsoft screen appears, saying that the program has encountered an error and needs to be closed.
After 10 times giving me the error (not 10, but quite a lot of times), it work fine...
What's the problem?? Anyone has a solution for that?? It happened two times so far... and i'm afraid of handing this in, and having this problem...
Is there a way you can set where a from Opens in relation to a button or a piece of text you select.
Basically I have a main form, with some selectable options on the LHS of the screen, rather than use buttons I have text boxes programmed to open a form using the "On-Click" event, I want the new form to open right next to the text box, so it will look like a drop down menu.
Additionally the main form could be moved around the screen, is there a way of locking the 2nd form to be next to the text box ?
Additionally I know I could use a list to but I am trying to design the DB with a certain look.
Instead of using command buttons to open forms I would like to open forms displayed in a list box Is there a way of doing this, so for example the listbox will show CustomerForm SupplierForm OrdersForm ProductsForm When any of the above is clicked the relative form will open.
I have a form with a bound combo box listing names, [myname] and a multiselect list box that lists all available forms in a database [myselections]. I am really struggling with code that will enable the user to hit a command button that will then open the selected forms to show the data for the selected individual. I have found things related to selecting items in tables etc but not related to opening forms to specific entrys and I am just not experienced enough with SQL to get this working. Can anyone help or direct me to a good example?
I have a combo box with 4 choices and it is limited to the list. Based on the value the user selects I want to open 1 of 4 forms. Tried using the select case but does not work?
Hey, just one quick thing. Whenever i open my database i want my form to open automatically, i'm only using oe form and one table, but the only thing im going to need to use is the form.
