I am sure this has been asked before but i have searched and found nothing,
I have 2 versions of Access on my PC 97 and 2000, if i use the chart facility i always get a box appear saying windows intaller and then goes on to ask me to insert a certain disk from the office package.
but if i click cancel quick enough it bypasses the enter disk part..
how can i overcome this please.
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!
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
My DB has around 20 users and frontend is on local machines and back-end on server. I always copy front end and many batch files associated with db and paste them onto local machines. Then create a link and paste on desktop. I always make a folder name "DMSS" and pase all copies files in that. But frequently becuase of one or other problem, I need to do this exercise again on many PCs.
Now I want to make an installer CD like we buy for softwares, which on running will do all this work.
Can somebody guide me to the right direction?
Hello,
I have a roof-estimating program that I made in MS access 97. I want to sell it to online. However the buyer will have to have access 97 installed on their computer to be able to use my program. Is there a way to allow users to use my program with out them having access 97 installed on there computer? And if so how involved is it to make this work?
I’ve been reading about the access developer’s extensions for access that makes a run time version of an access program. Will this work in my situation. I’m using access 97. I've seen some web sites with run time installers. Do these programs really work like they say?
Will I need to re-write my program? And if I do need to re-write it, is there a certain way that it needs to be written in order for this to work.
Please Help
Thanks Chuck patentinv@sbcglobal.net
After hard work done, my system become ready. Now I want to deploy it in the clients computers. What is the best installation software my system files from the CD disk into the user computer?
Thanks Very Much
I'm looking at creating an automated system to install the database. I know that with the access developer kit it includes an installer package creator, however it doesn't have some features I'm after.
Basically, I want it to obviously copy the database file into a folder (that the user specifies) and create a shortcut if the user specifies to the desktop and/or start menu. But then there is a back end, so I want the option to specify if the machine it is being installed on will be hosting the backend or not.
Then it needs to install access runtime as well, then copy a DLL file and .bas file into the same directory as the front end, then copy a DLL file into a system folder and then register that DLL file within windows.
Do I need to create a separate program all together, or is there something that'll allow me to do this?
Thanks very much
Hi all,I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. We currently have an mdb which includes a form and 4 tables. The entire mdb is around 800 megs. What we used to do is distribute this mdb to users in completely different locations on a CD, but now it has become to large for a cd to hold. Our manager wants us to figure out a way to distribute this mdb using only 1 cd, without zipping it. How would i go about doing that? Is there currently an installer, that can download the database from our ftp site and then insert the tables, or is there any other easier way i can get this done? P.s. The database will likely get larger and larger every yearThanks in advance

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'm trying to create a chart in a form, this is not a problem, however, the chart types available are a bit limited compared to if i inserted a Microsoft Excel Chart object.
I'd do that except I'm trying to create a chart based on a query.
Is there a way to make the chart wizard use the Microsoft Excel Chart object as its chart creator so I have access to the chart types available in that object?
any assistance much appreciated.
thanks all.
regards
keji

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:

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

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!

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? :(

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
