If I were to create an Access database within the Windows platfiorm, would it be accessible on a Mac machine with MS Office for Mac installed? Please advise on the implications here i.e. will the Security features work (MDW file, etc).
Any feedback would be greatly apreciated!

I have a website that is asp (not .net) based with an Access DB and I am in the process of replacing an old windows 2000 server with a much faster windows 2003 server. Here lies the problem I have a script as part of the admin that exports data to a csv file. The query joins 4 tables together to get the data needed for the export. On the windows 2000 server it takes 1-5 seconds to execute and have the csv file ready for download. On the window 2003 server it times out. I striped it down to use 2 joins and it worked although it took more like 10-20 seconds to export. This exports a specific range of ID's and the range is normally only 40-50 rows. If I put time stamps in the code the problem is in the query of the database, so I know its not in the file write etc.
I am going to rewrite it to use multible querys instead of one large query, but I have many other sites that I am moving to this server that would work better if I can figure out why it is so slow.
The windows 2000 is a 900 mhz server the windows 2003 is a 2.8GHZ server both have 1 GIG of ram. The database file is on the local drive on both servers. I am guessing it is a difference in the Jet version, I just haven't been able to find a solution to the problem. This uses a DSN connection, configured the same on both servers. I have also tried it as a DSN-less connection with the same result.
I have installed access on the server and to execute the command in access it is <2 sec.
I am not an access expert I normally program in .net and php and use MySQL and MsSQL for databases, we just have these legacy sites that use Access DB's
I have problem concerning the compatibility of the access applications that I am working on,
when save my work in my computer, I make a copy to another computer, there appears an error in the execution of a button click or others, I have checked all most every thing related to the correctness of the code and path of the database file, they identical.
the following attachment, the image that shows the message as it exactly printed.
My office is running Microsoft Access 97 but I use voice recognition software and that is not a real compatible with the 97. I need to upgrade to the latest Microsoft Access version.
My question is if I upgrade to Microsoft Access 2003 is there a way for my created databases to be saved so the users of Microsoft Access 97 will be able to open and use the database? I understand they will not be able to make any changes to the database but will they be able to open it/view it entered their criteria into the queries can be able to see their information?
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
This is my problem -
My customer has Access programs that work on their Windows 98 OS PC's, but when they try to use them on Windows 2000 OS PC's they will not work.
The programs I believe were originally written in Access 97 and now they have Access 2000 on the PC's.
By not working I mean the following -
The Access program allows them to enter a document name and then the file opens in Word - BUT - when they use it in Windows 2000 it does not open the document at all. It says file not found in Windows 2000 and the file does exist.
** The reason they have Access opening files is that Access keeps track of them for auditing purposes.
Now here is something that I want to mention. On PC's that were upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 the programs work.
Can anyone here tell me what is missing from 98 to 2000 that would do this.
Thank you very much for your time.
Hi all, I have created a database for work in Access2003. I have two questions. The first is, many people at the work place use AC97 and some use AC2000. In order for everyone to use the database, i have saved it in AC97 format. It seems to open fine in Ver2000 and 2003, but i get this nag screen on load up with these versions saying "do you wish to convert the database". As I'm working off a shared drive, i don't really want anyone converting the dbase. Is there a way to disable this nag screen when loading in AC2000 and AC2003??
Second question, is it possible to have more than one instance of the database open at anytime? . If I've got the database open, my colleague can't open it. Its a simple database that writes records directly to a table. Thanks for any advice.
Will Access 2000 run on Vista? I've heard that it will, but I would like to verify that before I purchase the upgrade. I currently use Access '97.
Also, does Access 2000 have to be "product activated" like the newer versions?
Thanks.
Hi,
I've been working on a database at work in Access 2003. I need to speed up though, so I thought I'd it bring it home on a USB memory stick and work on it here using Access 2007. I do this all the time with Word and Excel files and just take care to save them in 2003 version so I can use them back in the office.
But when I try to open this database, it's asking for a password. I know for a fact I haven't set any password on it, because I wouldn't know how to. Holding down the shift key is ineffective too.
Is Access 2007 not backwards compatible or something?
I created an access 2010 file containing tables and 2 linked forms to distribute to different people so that they can enter data for a project. The problem I am having is that the people receiving the file aren't able to open it, different error messages pop up:
-accessde.dll missing
or
-vba6mtrt.dll missing
Is there a way to export the access file so that regardless of the program, they are able to open the file? if not, what are the solutions to this?
I have a 2007 db, been working no it in 2007 and occasionally in 2010, careful not to use any 2010 items. Well I goofed and added a Navigation Form (2010 only) and then deleted it. Now My 2007 db opens in 2007 fine, everything works, but the glowering Warning message and lovely yellow yield sign show up constantly. How do you resolve the incompatible items and clear this warning?

I have an Access db that is going to be shared by two different users. One user has Access 2003 and the other has Access 2002. Will there be any problems using this setup if both the users are accessing the MDB file at the same time?
Thanks,

We have recently converted from Office 97 to 2003 and Windows NT4 to XP.
In the old days, when I opened a database up I would use autoexec and the db would open to a particular form. On the windows display it would just show that I had a particular Access database open. On windows XP, if I open the database the same way I get two bars at the bottom of the screen showing the objects and the relevant form. This means that all the design is available for people to see.
I am not that clever to have front and back ends etc, so how do I get it to just display the appropriate query / form / report etc.
I hope that I have made it clear. The XP feature showing how many files you have open is quite handy if you want to look at two Word documents but in Access it allows people to fiddle. If they can't see it they can't fiddle with it.
Hey all I was wondering if there was anyway to open my program when windows opens, I have the XP sytem but I was also wondering if there would be a difference with windows 98... SO What i would like to accomplish is to open my access program without clicking on it when my windows, is loaded, can I open it when it loads automaticly. Does it matter that there are different users on my system or not. Thanks

I have an issue with access97 when installed on a windows XP pro sp2 machine. I am constantly getting errors from the vba332.dll module and access shuts down on me. This happens even if I try to go to tools - options on the main menu bar. If any one has encountered this before please help!
This is what I get in the application log:
Faulting application msaccess.exe, version 8.0.0.5903, faulting module vba332.dll, version 3.0.0.6908, fault address 0x000b6614.
Hi all
This message has suddenly started to appear when clicking on a shortcut to all my mdbs.
Windows cannot find [path] .mdb
I click OK and the db continues normally.
the message does not appear when opening a mdb directly.
odd huh?
any thoughts on how to resolve this annoying problem would be appreciated
Hello,

Thank youvery much
Is it possible to display the user name used to log on to windows on a form?
I have used the following code to get the machine name to display - but some machines are old and have new users.....
Private Declare Function apiGetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias _
"GetComputerNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Function fOSMachineName() As String
Dim lngLen As Long, lngX As Long
Dim strCompName As String
lngLen = 16
strCompName = String$(lngLen, 0)
lngX = apiGetComputerName(strCompName, lngLen)
If lngX <> 0 Then
fOSMachineName = Left$(strCompName, lngLen)
Else
fOSMachineName = ""
End If
End Function
Then use =fOSMachineName() in a label
Any idea?
A couple of questions. I want my database to query the AD and make sure that the user trying to open the database had an account in the AD. I dont want them prompted for a password though. I have had a look at trying to change the example NT logon in the samples area, but just managed to get myself in a bit of a mess. Also is there anyway that you can query the users full name in AD and call that variable,or does this only work with the username?
Also, when a user created a record in a from, I would like the users username, called from the AD saved in a field in the table. I have tried this and the only way that I can call the variable is by having the "=Environ("USERNAME")" in the control source of the text box. Which means that it cant be save in a field in the table. I have also tried an after updated event on that textbox to update another textbox and have that textbox control source a field on the table. But again this doesn't work. Can someone tell me if what I am trying to do is possible. Thanks
There are three tables in my database. Clients, Accounts, and transactions. I have a form which when you select a Client an "accounts subform" populates with their accounts and the "transactions subform" populates with their transactions for the selected account. YOu can select different accounts and the transactions will change. Unfortunately all these things on 1 form is cluttered. Is there a way to open the transactions in a new window? So if i clicked an account record, a new transaction window would pop up. I'm not sure if you can make that relationship.
Thx

I have a form is set to Maximize on open
I have a drop down box on that form that allows a user to select a report and then the report runs and opens.
The problem is that when I close the report the form that I had DoCmd.Maximize is no longer maximized...
I have tried On Focus, OnOpen, OnLoad etc
I cant find the event that I can code on to get that Form to maximize when I close the report...
Any thoughts...
Can I set the Form to always be a specific size or maximized? I would prefer Maximized due to screen resolutions beign different....
THanks
Hi All,
Is there a way that I can view window explorer within a Form. Is it also possible to have Drag & Drop facility in that form.
Thanks in advance,

Upon closing a database using Access 2000 Runtime, I am getting the following error: -
Microsoft Access for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close.
This happens just as I am closing the database down and not at any other time. It also only happens on Access Runtime.
Can anybody please help? :(

Hello there,
I use access 2000 but also have access 2003 installed on my computer. Access 2000 is my default version and is usually what I use 90% of the time (for various reasons).
Anyways, every time I launch 2000 (without going into 20003 at all) it ALWAYS brings up windows installer. Is there a way to fix this or must I live with it since I have 2 versions installed?
Thanks!
Hi,
I was wondering if i could get some help here. In the startup under tools option in the menu in Access 2003., is
there any way of coding it so it would display windows database, allows
display status bar and other settings there?
Currently, i have unchecked pretty much everything except "Access special
keys" when setting up a certain form to be a startup. By default, we don't want to see all the tables in the windows database but rather the actual start up form.
what we would like to do is to allow only the certain group of people to be
able to view the windows database without using "hold on to shift key" button to
access to windows database.
Thank you in advance
