Upsizing Wizard
Jul 27, 2007Ok......
It's much as I thought it would be. MS Access is limited for a mid size database application. I have developed this mid size database for the medical clinic I work for. I didn't want to do it, but they saw some of my personal projects I created and pretty much told me to come up with something.
Well, the good news is, the database itself works exactly as designed, meaning it does its job very well. The bad news, and I knew it would happen, is instability. When I first started creating this program, I had no idea how many people would be using it at once. That, and after reading through these forums for the last few months, I realized that Access wasn't the puppy to be creating this database in. As it stands, about 130 - 150 systems access the database (about 3 times more than I originally forcasted.)
I'm sure those of you who have done something similar knows the next thing I'm about to say...... yep..... mysterious run-time errors - locked database from time to time - owc (office web component) errors...... etc. etc. These errors pretty much happen during peak hours.
I am pretty positive it's because access wasn't designed to handle such a load..... which led me to a researching a resolution. The answer that may be my savior is the upsizing wizard included with ms access. We do have MS SQL server running on a server...... I was just curious if anybody's ever used the upsizing wizard; either that, or has anyone ported an access project to sql. (This is a big program, and would hate to have to reprogram)

Upsizing Access Question
Jun 30, 2007Greetings:
I have been using front-end back-end database, which consists of three .mde files connected to an .mdb backend on a Windows Server 2003 Windows XP Professional network. The database is a flat-file. Because of problems associated with record corruption, related to multiple users and memo fields, I am looking to upsize my backend to MySQL or SQL Server both of which I know little about. Additionally I am hoping that upsizing will help alleviate the slowing down I am currently experiencing as the back end grows.
My question is am I looking in the right direction will either of these correct my problems and if so which of the two should I use.

Access App Kills SQL SERVER After Upsizing
Aug 11, 2005HI.
Your help is very appreciated.
*I upsized ACCESS 2002 (tables only) to use SQL SERVER 7.0 as backend.
(linked tables).
* Almost all the ACCESS forms are bound type forms.
Now, I have two problems:
1. Other applications (not ACCESS ones) that use different dbs on the same SQL SERVER , are slowed down / halted.
2. My SQL SERVER license is limited to 8 "user counts". When there are 8 instances of the ACCESS app, any additional connection request is refused (from any app).
(I can't afford buying more "user counts").
I suspect that beacuse the forms are bound, it hold connection open as long as the form is used.
Also, each ACCESS app instance, opens its own connection.
The solution that I see, is to use unbound forms(disconnected), and opening the connection in code using connection pooling.
Would you recommend on this solution?
do you have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot

Nov 9, 2011I have upsized from Access 2003 to SQL Server 2008 R2 using upsizing wizard. Everything works fine. But I don't see relationship in SQL SErver 2008 R2 if I go to database. But I set relationship in Access 2003 before upsizing it.
Amso I don't see relationship (diagram) in Access 2003 , which I was able to see before.
So do I need to again recreate the relationship amongst the table in Access 2003 Or SQL SErver 2008 R2 ? I thought, if you link tables, everything should be taken care but i don't see relationship structure any more.
Access Wizard Crashes App
Feb 2, 2005I have been having this issue with two different
versions of Access, firstly XP and now 2003.
The issue is every time I open a blank database, and
click on the "create using wizard" option, access crashes
while trying to set up the wizard. When I view the
dump rep, it all seems to point to msaccess.exe.
AppName: msaccess.exe AppVer: 11.0.5614.0 AppStamp:3f3c8e3c
ModName: msaccess.exe ModVer: 11.0.5614.0 ModStamp:3f3c8e3c
fDebug: 0 Offset: 000ef3ba
I have uninstalled and re-installed Office onto
different drives etc, but still no joy.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Access 2007 Control Wizard
Jun 20, 2007I am new to access. When I try to create a control with control wizard, it advises that it will embed a macro that will not run nor be editable in Access 2003 or prior...
What do I have to do to get a control placed that CAN be run by those...? I do not know how to write code, and am really just feeling my way thru this...thus far unsuccessfully, I might add. More on that in the Forms forum...
This is just one of a billion questions I am slowly exploring.
Thanks for any assistance.:o
Access 97 - Error When Using Report Wizard
Jul 16, 2007Hi all,
Using Access 97 :( to create a fairly simple database for a couple of users.
When setting up a report using the wizard, I am given an error message of "No Current record" when I try and Finish the wizard.
I have re-installed Access 97 - which I thought would have most definatly fixed the problem - but doesn't seem to have done the trick.
Any thought are welcome?
Thanks, Neil
Access 2003 Package Wizard
Jul 18, 2007Hi,
I have just started to use the Access 2003 Package Wizard and I am having big problems, my problem is that any Access App deployed at work is installed under C:MIS, but in there wizdom!!! MS have decided not to allow you to have anything but what they think you should have as the default install location.
I have even gone into the source code and found where the default locations are, but the problem is that you have to add the entry to both a table and an XML file, the table is easy, but trying to find where and what I need to add to the xml, so far has turned out to be impossible.
Can anyone help, or is the best solution going to be to use a third party installer.
Thanks,

Importing Data Into Access Via The Wizard
Feb 16, 2008Good morning all,
i have a feeling this could be a simple yes or no answer,, at the moment i am using the 'Import Data Wizard' to pick-up an excel file that is up-dated on a daily basis, this file always sits in the same directory and always has the same file name, ideally i would like to have an action button that draws the data in without having to use the wizard each time,, does anyone know if this is achieveable? if so, anyhelp would be much appreciated.
as always, many thanks
Upsizing
Mar 5, 2007I have a MS Access 2003 database that is getting corrupted frequently. I am following all the rules to avoid this problem but it keeps boring me with "Access can´t recognize this database format" and I lose all my data.
I´ve sent the db to experts to try to recover it and they told me that it was impossible. So, I´m planning to change my Backend (BE) and keep my Access Frontend (FE), because I like Access very much.
My question: what is the best solution for BE?
SQL Server? Firebird? another one?
I hope by changing the BE I won´t have problems anymore...
Thanks in advance

Advice On Upsizing To SQL
Sep 25, 2005Would anyone be willing to have a discussion about upsizing a large split database to SQL? I've managed the split using the wizard and it went very well. The problem is the performance, the form is really slow on opening and as it scrolls through records.
All my queries are saved. I would imagine it's the way I've built the form and base queries that's causing the problem and wondered if anyone would be willing to have a look at it for me and see if they can make any suggestions.
I'm struggling blind with this one.
Thanks.

Mar 20, 2006Hi,
I have developed a couple of database applications. This started as a small thing but now is growing to the point where I've got to make some decisions and would appreciate some guidance.
Presently:
Front end: 4 Different GUI's as local front ends.
Back end: Intranet network share on Win2k desktop (limited by O/S to 10 connections at one time)
Going forward, about 30 users will have access to the front ends and will all need concurrent access to the back end data. At some point, I would like to generate web pages from the data in the back end database and have the back end machine also be the web server for this.
So, what are my "best" options for the back end?
I was thinking of getting Win 2k3 Server running SQL server to drive the database.
The ability to integrate security with existing infrastructure would definitely be a plus, which I believe Win 2k3 can do.
I don't know very much about Win 2k3 or SQL server, but am willing to invest in learning the ins and outs as long as I can get it up and running with the same functionality I have now (with relative ease) and scale it as my capabilities with the OS and SQL server increase.
To be honest though, I am a little scared about how much I'll have to change my existing applications in order to make it work.
Your suggestions, comments, experiences most welcome and valued.
Thanks,

Look Up Wizard

I have a smart look up for a the PC's that when you click on it, it will show you all the software loaded to that machine. however, there is so much software loaded to these machines that when the look-up is clicked you can not read all of the software because it is listed horizontally. Is there any way that you can have the look-up view vertically. Any other ideas would be much appreciated.
View 3 Replies View RelatedPackage Wizard - Where Is It?
Jun 9, 2005Ok, I have Acc2k3 professional with Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System which according to MS includes the Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/office/officetools.aspx) that are required to package an MDE/ADE file using Acc2k3.
The question is how do I run it? I cannot find anything to do with packaging or deploying an Access file anywhere, not only in Access but ot the system and on the Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System cd.
I should point out that my PC has VB.NET 2003, Office 2003 (prof) and Office 2000 (prof - Access only) installed on XP SP2 (I believe that all relevant SPs and critical updates have been applied). I have tried upgrading my project from Acc2k to Acc2k3 and all to no avail.

Need Help With Package Wizard
Dec 15, 2005Hi
I hope someone can help on here with this.
I am having problems using the package wizard. I can run through the first couple of steps on the package wizard, but when it asks for a language to cache, it fails to install the necessary files.
I have found the resolution on the MS KB site about copying the files to the HDD, and the renaming the exe file to SETUP.EXE, but whenever I select this file to cache, I get the following message:-
'C:SourceSETUP.EXE' could not be copied to 'C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataMicrosoftAccessADE11Cache1033SETUP.EXE'.
Verify that the source file exists, that you have write permissions on the destination folder. etc
I don't think it is permissions, as it does copy the msi and cab file to that particular folder, it's just the SETUP.EXE file that it doesn't copy over.
Has anyone ever experienced this before when using the Package Wizard?
Thanks
