I have built an automated procedure in VBA Access 2000 that is now great (thanks to a lot of downloaded help from this forum). I use the MSCOMM active-x control to talk to an instrument via the serial port.
Question: Is that control only working because I also have VB6 installed on this same computer? It seems to me that I tried something like this a year ago and could not get MSCOMM to work in Access, but at the same time, I didn't have great MSCOMM examples to go by. I do now as I could rob them from other programs my company has written in VB6.
I have both VB6 and Access 2000, but chose to develope this procedure in Accesss because of the heavy amount of data to store (and I know VBA much better than I do VB6). I thought Access is a natural. But now I am wondering if I will have problems distriubuting this database to other service offices that may not have a machine with VB6 on it?
Do they need just plot MSCOMM32.OCX in to their system32 directory?? :confused:
Please can someone advise me how I can link the date which I select in the calendar control to a date field in the form. I want to use the calendar instead of a combo box. It's probably simple....but then so am I! Help appreciated Richard
when i select a button from the active control menu and want to use that button for either next record, previuos record. attach macro, print, i am sure that was part of the menu when selecting the button. i am not seeing that menu when i select the button from the active control could you please tell me why
Please can someone tell me how to change the back colour of a control when it has the focus and then revert to the original colour when it loses it. I have 35 controls on my form, so I need a function, rather than changing the colour with a subroutine evey time.
I have searched the site and haven't found whatI want-though I'm sure this question has been asked before.
Could anyone point me in the right direction re the Crystal Reports Active X viewer control and access forms. I loaded it onto a form in access 2000, but can't seem to find any meaningfull properties I can manipulate (especially the report source). I am thinking it works like any other active x control and I can manipulate properties through code, however, the main property I would think I need (source report) does not seem to exist. I have Crystal 10.0 loaded on my system.
Essentially I have a form_A with several tab's and then one list control box in each of those tabs. At present if you double click on any item within the control boxes your taken to another form_B with info about that item and when you close that from down again if refreshes form_A.
Is it possible to only refresh the specific list control box that is active instead of refreshing the whole form ?
I am in the process of creating my first commercial databse and i was wondering if anyone new where i can get a template of a generic user licence text?
Each licence agreement can have one or many licence keys, each licence key can have one or many licences
I would like a query that groups by LicenceAgreementID then sums the NumOfLicences for the the LicenceAgreementId.
Query so far:
SELECT tblLicenseDetails.LicenseAgreementID, tblLicenseDetails.LicenseKey, tblLicenseDetails.NumOfLicensePurch FROM tblLicenseDetails GROUP BY tblLicenseDetails.LicenseAgreementID, tblLicenseDetails.LicenseKey, tblLicenseDetails.NumOfLicensePurch HAVING (((tblLicenseDetails.LicenseAgreementID) Is Not Null));
It may be that I have to redesign my tables, if so I will will.
I have made a form based on related tables. it requires me to fill out every field, which I don't want. I didn't make them required. Why does it do that?
At our firm we have a mix of Microsoft Office (2000) Standard licenses and Microsoft Office(2000) Professional liceneses.
After reading through a lot of literature from Microsofts own site it is possible to create Data access pages to enable users to view and have basic inputting into an access back end database.It also states that you need a qualifying License to use microsofts 'web components' to be able to do this.
Now another of our offices has decided to 'check' with microsofts helpdesk about wether or not you need a seperate access license for each user and suprise suprise Microsoft state you do.
Their own site states that Office standard IS a qualifying license see here
Anyone know if i am commitiing an offense or am i just being bullied by microsoft.I have asked them to produce the legislation that states i am doing wrong but they have not yet responded
I recently bought a new computer and it was kinda cheap, so no office products were installed on the computer. A friend loaned me her copy of Office 2003 which didn't have Access on it. So, after installing Office 2003 I picked my old Office 97 CD and installed just Access 97. Then I go to open the database and get this annoying message.
Microsoft Access can't start because there is no license for it on this machine.
I am developing an Access database, and using the Access 2007 Developer Extensions to "compile" it into an installable program which includes the freely distributable Access 2007 RunTime, for users who don't have it already installed.
I am planning on charging a subscription fee to use my Access database. Are there any existing method for handling making sure the user's subscription is still active, and if not, either locking them our or preferably making everything read-only? If there aren't any existing methods anyone can point me to, does anyone have any ideas?
I plan on being the person who installs the application the first time, however I'm sure instances will come up where I instead mail the user a CD for them to install.
Regardless of whether I complete the first install, I'm not interested in going to each users' location periodically regarding the subscription.
I'm more interested in going the route of the user typing in some type of registration code, which is validated for read/write access for a period of time.
I don't want to rely on the user having an internet connection, but if they had one, I could certainly go the Microsoft model (try internet verification, if it goes wrong or there isn't a connection, have user call in.)
Basically, I have a database table that is maintained every week. It is about e-mail account licenses for Office 365.
Each column represents a week of license data for every mailbox account which is about 10 000 plus users with the date as the field headers( something like "License information as of 06122013").
Basically, I have created 52 queries based on the license type I require to be calculated & I have a form created to control it. However, right now it is all output only as I have yet to create any user parameter to specify on any of the queries about the date I want
As I am currently unsure how to specify all the queries to use one field date header which I want the user to specify via drop down list in order to calculate all the licenses on this specific date.
For example, if I want to see the license information for 06/11/2013, I would choose "License as of 06112013" & it would then run all the queries based on the header specified earlier & output that information on the form.
Right now the queries are all configured as the "Select" type.
Trying to use Access97 on Windows XP and I get an error message.
"Microsoft Access can't start because there is no license for it on this machine"
I've tried everything and it still doesn't want to work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled I've tried to find the font, hatten, and it's not there I've downloaded MDAC 2.8 I've check the permissions in HKEY CLASSES ROOT I've tried c:setup/y I've downloaded AcLicn97.exe and it tells me that it can't find Access
Is there any way to add a dropdown box or something that determines that a subrecord is active/completed, and then have a way to jump straight to the one that is active by clicking a button on the record? In the example I attached, I want to be able to click on the button above the tab and have it switch to that tab and open the first record it finds that has "Active" selected.
I have a database application, front end on the local machines, back end on a server (it happens to be a mac server, but still works). Recently we upgraded to Access2007 on all systems, but left the backend in 2000 format. Ever since then we have been having issues with our users getting told "Too Many Active Users" when they try and access the backend. If all users disconnect and the reconnect it seems to be fine for a while, then after sometime it does it again. I assume it has something to do with the ldb file on the backend. It worked fine in 2003, now I am stumped. It possibly has something to do with permissions but I have no idea what.
I have a small Help Desk db with tables that contain computer spec and user information. But I already have all this information in Active Directory and it seems pointless entering the information twice.
Is there any way i can get the database to lookup the information from Active directory i have no idea where to start.
I have added an Active X control to my form. The active X control is Inventor View which is for viewing 3D drawings. At the moment I can get it to work and show one particular drawing using a filepath put in the filename property.
However, I want to save the filepath for each record in the table and then change the filename property of the Inventor View to this according to the record that is open.
I have tried searching for similar threads but still can't quite get round it.
What data type should I use to store the filepath and how can I get it to change the filename property of the Inventor View control.
I have a single membership table that contains two separate date fields,a "StartDate" when a member joins and an "EndDate" when an individual cancels their membership.
I would like to query this table to provide a list of active members between a given range of dates.
For example if the date is set to 1/1/06 through 1/1/06, I will get a list of all active members on that particular day.
