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
Hi, I'm trying to resize a continuous subform automatically depending on how many records it is displaying. It needs to resize to fit all of the contents it displays, but no more. I also need to move labels and text boxes down if the subform size gets larger. This needs to be done every time the user cycles through records in the main form. Thanks in advance. :cool:
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.
Hi I have a Switch Board and when I click to view a report on it the report automatically opens in maximize view, this is what I want. What I dont want is when I close the report for the Switch Board form to be maximized as well
How would I be able to prevent this?? Cheers bikeboardsurf :rolleyes:
What I have: I have a main form with 3 subforms viewed as datasheets.
I have read the post about hiding columns by using me.<object>.columnhidden = True and that kind of works. Once the user goes to resize the columns they can get the hidden columns back. This is a problem if I'm trying to hide a priority column only admins should see.
Is there a way to specify the width of a column and restrict the user from resizing it? That way the user can not resize and get hidden columns back.
If there is a better way if doing this please let me know. Ultimately, I just don’t want the user resizing or unhiding columns I have sized and hidden.
I'm doing a database with several pop-up forms, but however small i make them ,they always resize to give a fairly large border around the controls onthe far right and bottom. Everytime i try and shrink it, in code with the Form.Width property, and in the design view, they always resize back again.
Problem I'm running into is I need certian fields to auto-resize when they're hovered over (or have focus) so that all the information is viewable, but then resize back to normal afterwards. The forms contain a large amount of information, so the fields have to be smallish most of the time, but certain fields, such as email addresses for example, are hard to work with because you can't see most of the entry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Almost done with this Access project, and it's just little details at this point.
In Access 2010 I want to resize my forms according to the user's screen resolution.I designed my forms to look fine for 1024x768 and then multiplied everything at higher resolutions.In the forms OnLoad event I inserted a procedure like the following:
Code: Public Sub SetSize(aForm As Form) Dim MV As Single Dim ctrl As Control
[code]....
It works fine if the page doesn't have a TabControl; but with the Tab Control Pages it get missed up. I think because changing the TabControl size will affect immediately the contened Pages, and when the code arrives to change the size of the pages, it is no more the original size . So I tried this:
Code: Public Sub SetSize(aForm As Form) Dim MV As Single Dim ctrl As Control
[code]...
Things are better, but still I found that the values of my pages and the background rectangle I inserted in each pages to make them of different colors are wrong, instead the values of TabControl are correct.
I have created a table with ole object types and linked word documents. I am now trying to create a report with the word documents showing up. The problem is that the size of the word document varies, some are half a page some are several pages. When I create the report with the object frame, I can't seem to find a control property to 'can grow'. Is there some way, possibly using VB, to create that feature. I'm thinking the VB way might be to access the embedded file and find out it's size and then size the object frame accordingly. I don't want to make the frame set to the largest document because then there will be blank pages that I don't want in the smaller documents.
I am making a database that will be used by multiple people on a network, and they have different resoloutions on their own computers. when the database is loaded on their respective computers, the form controls are all off.
On the computer i designed them on, the forms fit perfectly on screen, as do the controls, i would like to know if there is some vba code i could incorporate into the form open event, or module code that i can use in order to dynamically re-seize the forms and all of the controls to suit different resoloutions?
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.
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
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.
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).
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?
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.
