I have a database with three users, only one of whom has editing privileges. As such, I didn't see the need to setup a front end and back end (nor did I know how at the time). Anyway, that's not the issue. The database is saved on a networked computer that all users can access. Unfortunately, when accessing the database in the shared network folder, only the first user can access it. Other users will double click the file and virtually nothing happens.
However, users can instead open Access first, and open the file through the program fine. Why this would be the case and how I can have multiple users open the file from the shared folder?

I have a access form that has a text box that holds a search term. The search term is used as a variable in a query. The query results populate a list box. Selecting a result in the list box populates the rest of the form where the record can be edited. All of that works great...sort of. When first opening the form you cannot view any records. The search function works fine and the list box populates but selecting a record does not populate the rest of the form. Attempt to navigate (next, first, etc.) and you get a "You can't go to the specified record" dialog. There is a simple fix for this. Open the form as normal. Then switch to design mode. Do absolutely nothing. Switch back to form mode. All is well.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been at this for almost 3 weeks now and I'm having great difficulties trying to get this right and working. First let me explain what I am doing and what I am trying to do.
Firstly, I am making a Maintenance database using MS access software, what I have are tables, forms and no queries or report existing so far. The forms and tables all work correctly.
After the form (Job request) has been completed I need to save/export into PDF so I am able to hyperlink it against its existing asset card elsewhere.
now what I have done is Created button, on event "on click" I have tried to go to macro builder
ExportWithFormatting
Objet Type: Form
Object Name: FrmMachineFault/GenMaint
Output format: PDF
Output file:
Auto Start: No
Template File:
Encoding:
Output Quality: Print
when I click this button it opens to save to and it works perfectly but I have to manually type the file name when it gets to the Save to section.
What I want it to do is define the name by the existing fields in the open form. Example Closed date, Effected area, Asset and title.
What I am hoping for is something like this.
10/07/15_Foundry_Furnace_LPG_Leak
(Closed date)_(Effected Area)_(Asset)_(Tittle)
Is this possible?
Hi

IN Access 2007 when a Continuous form is opened there is no records shown.
Only after hitting the page down records are shown.
I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
I have a button in the form of the current access file. What I want to do is when the user click on the button,
triggered the vba to backup current access file. But since the file is currently open, is this possible? If yes, may I know how to do it with vba?
I have tried two methods but failed:
1) Use copytofile method, but I get permission denied due to file open;
2) Use dbengine.compactdatabase method, but it also has problem if the file is open.
I'm experimenting with MS Access, and I've successfully split an MDB someone created into two files. I can access the database from 2 computers at once using the front end file connecting to a file server which hosts the _be.mdb file.
Could the _be.mdb file theoretically be on a NAS without any computer attached, or is there some runtime or full version of Access that needs to run on the machine with the back end file?
i have develop an application in Ms Access, now i want to have setup file for that, how a setup file can be created.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a shared database and at times the database name changes to db1 when somebody is working on it. It doesn't happen all the time or with specific user.
For example if my database name is Incentive.mdb it will automatically change to db1.mdb when its opened and saved.
I have a subform inside a Form.
When I'm trying to upadate the subfrom from an event triggered by a control in Form I get the error message that subform is not opened.Why is that?
I've tried commands MoveTo or Select (subform) before update command in order to force update command to understand that subform is opened but without any result.
I guess is a common problem but I can't find the solution. :(
I have a Main Form that utilizes tabs to control several other forms by opening, closing and making them visible/invisible. One of the forms needs to be closed when its tab on the Main form is unselected. The problem is that once the form is closed, when it opens up again it opens right infront of my Main form's tab control so I need to move it down an inch to get to the tab control.
I've positioned this form where I want it and saved it numerous times. But once I select the tab, it opens up right ontop of the Main form's tab control again. I have the AutoResize set to No and the Auto Center also set to No.
Any ideas how I can get this form to stay put?
Any help is most appreciated. Thanks.
hopefully someone will know what to do...
i have a form that has a bunch of check boxes and labels that are hidden to start with,and become visible when a confirmation button is pressed. Wen i set this up in the design view i.e making their visible status = false, everything runs accordingly - however when the next person comes to update their details the form will not format properly. i think the reason has something to do with the check boxes having different visibilty statuses after the initial confirmation i therefore used code on the form open event
If Check2.Visible = True Then
check.Visible = False
End If
however this tends to fail at the first checkbox, however if i then press run on the VBA screen everything else seems to then run fine and so only the first checkbox is left visible...
can anybody help....
thanks in advance i hope i have made myself clear..

I have the code for sending an email but I only want to send a single email when there are records in a query and only when the database is first opened.
I hadn't considered this in my design so what structural requirements would it require if any?
