Accessing The Right Database
Nov 22, 2004
I have copied a database that I used for another project for a new one. Everything is the same but when I try to use the command buttons on the form it give me "no record found" error, even though there are records in the database. I know that the Error message is the one that is writin in the database by the orginal designer, I can't quite figure out how to fix the problem I think that it has something to do with the VB coding in the comand button, becuase of the type error message that I am geting, but I don't know how to do it. I can't post the database becuase it is way to big. Everything else is working fine. What hte command button is supposed to do is update a total score percentage based off the numbers that placed in the database also any of the score can be left blank as to not count, max for each score is 5 min is zero, i.e.score1=3score2=5score3=5score4=score5=4score6=3Total Score =80.00%I hope that this makes sence.J

Ok, Let's say I go into File->Database Properties from the "main" Access screen. This brings up a window with the title "<database name> Properties" where <database name> is the same as currentproject.name.
This window has several tabs including "Summary" and "Custom." It looks like this should be stuff that I can set and then reference from within my code.
My thought is that I can use the "Title" from the "Summary" screen as a variable for all of my msgbox titles. The other interesting one is "Project" on the "Custom" tab. It looks like this may be the same sort of thing.
I've found that the Access Help is absolutely useless - I'm about ready to take a shotgun to "Clippy." But as they say, a display is a terrible thing to waste <grin>. I've also found that it's getting harder and harder to find what I'm looking for in the MSDN library. There's so much stuff and they don't always file it in logical places.
Well, thanks for reading.. sorry for the rant. As usual, any help is appreciated!
Cheers!

Hi there
I have an application that I run in our business.
Everytime I make changes to the code I have to export all the tables from the original into the latest version of the database with the new code.
This is a pain and makes updates time consumming and prone to error.
Is the soloution to have 2 databases. One with the tables and the other with the code (forms), & reports ect
If so, how do I access tables in the 'tables' database from the 'front end' database??
Thanks in advance

Hi
Can anyone help me please
I have a client database which is linked to website is there is anyway that the database can be linked remotely.
eg if one of the company staff is on the road and want to access the database to view and see what kind of info has been stored in there.
So that they can access the database remotely once its on the server.
How do you make it possible for this to happen or is there some VB programming need to be done to make this possible
What must be done to make this happen?
I hope this is clear
Cheers.

I have a database of books that contains all the informations about the books in a library, and ofcourse the forms for accessing the database ie searching adding editing and all this, is it possible in access to make a restriction so that only the administrator can edit or add to the database and the other users can only search for books and print reports
I know the logic of creating a password table and a form with a username and a password which checks if the user can access and then open the corresponding form (using isvisible property for the edit and add botton)
but even if i did that the user in reality can see the tables and the forms of the database and can change them directly
please if anyone has an idea??????
thanks

From an Access Project database would like to run reports setup in another database, which contains some custom reports. I would like to go directly to the report preview not just open the second database. Can someone help me with how I would be able to accomplish this? I have tried using a macro but have not been successful.
Thank you,
Valerie

If I need to take the backend of my database offline for changes, what's the best/easiest way to inform the users? Is there some code I can drop into the front end? I'm thinking a "on database open, if [available] in tblClose equals no, then open frmDatabaseOffLine". But I don't know a) if that's possible or b) how to program it.

And yes I now that's the title of a Knowledge base article, I stole it because it put into words what I can only say in expletives right now.
Basically, well it's all a bit odd.
I got users on the network who, until yesterday, could access some networked databases. Other files from the same source are ok, just Access files.
Today the moment they click (and I mean a single-click) on the icon to open the database...explorer hangs.
You can't open the database from within MS Access either, that hangs too. But you CAN open them up and use them if you can get them copied locally.
Oh yeah, some people (in the same room, on the same VLAN) can access the database, but can't perform any tasks within it.
Databases are a mix of 97 and 2000.
And to make matters worse, it's happening on another server.
I know you're gonna shout virus, but that looks to be a non-starter since I know of no such virus which would affect ONLY Access files and do it on a single click, and secondly The systems check out fine with both Sophos (and our good luck charm AVG) run against them.
Holy Moley! Has anyone ever come accross such a palarva?

Twice a year, a database of mine is accessed and put too use by various staff within a time range of 1 week. the database is on a shared drive and in a location which can be accessed by all.
The staff access the database from different workstations and in some instances at the same time.
This has only led to issues in the database being copied and then confusing staff on what database to click on thus i have 2 databases which i then have to sift through and copy/paste into the correct one.
I want to know the best way i can:
1) Prevent multiple users accessing the database at a time.
2) making a copy of the original and typing into a separate database.

i have a strange situation with a friends network
database is on laptop, the pc downstairs can open and access the db fine, but the pc next to it upstairs can see the db but gets an error on opening - of course they are using a german version of access so im not entirely sure of the error message but its basically "cant open the db on this intranet, copy it to your pc and then open it"
all pcs are running xp and the same version of access (2002)
the db is in the laptops shared docs folder
one pc can open it fine
the pc in question can open and edit a word doc (for example) in the same folder but not the mdb
i can map the drive on the pc as well
it seems more of a win xp file permission thing but the pc can open and edit a word doc ok
the only thing (seemingly) different with the 3 pcs is that the problem pc is in english and the other 2 in german (but why that would matter i dont know)
i'm supposed to be the pc guru but this has me stumped - any ideas ?

Hi there
I got a little problem here. I have a mdb that must be moved to another pc, but whenever I try to open it (on the other pcs) I get the message that I don't have permission to read.
When I try to change the permissions it says that I must be an administrator to do that, but I am the pc administrator, so I guess it must be the mdb's administrator.
Does anyone know how to change the permissions, or how to make me the program's administrator/proprietary?
Thanks for your time people!

I have time entry program that the company I work for recently purchased that uses a SQL server 2000 Back end. I can connect to the database just fine if I create a project in Access. What I need to do is take data out of a couple of the tables in the SQL Server and place them in an access table. I really don't want to add any code or tables to the Access project that I created since it seems it would add tables and queries to this products database. What would be the best way to siphon data out of this software package for my own use? This would become a daily process so it needs to be fairly automated and easy.
Thank you for your help.

Hi
I've got a back end database on one of my computers and i'm trying to get the link tables to work over a network from another computer. Ive set the link tables up but it wont let me edit any data because it is read only. Its not read only when i run the front end from the computer that stores the back end. How do i enable the front end to edit the data over the network?
also, it is a multi-user system so i want multiple front end parts accessing the one back end but whenever i try and access the data from one system when another is already open it says the file is in use and i can't do anything!
I'm really stuck at the moment and i really need some help please! :confused:

I am making a database and after a small amount of progress I save it and then copy and save with same name but with an extension V1, V2 etc. so that I can keep a working one as backup. Throughout this process I have come across 'Error accessing Network' connection may be lost.....! I have to go back to my previously saved version and redo the changes I was making. This time I didnt save until I was about to make my usual backup and I had quite a few changes. How can I stop this happening and make my last DB work again.

Hi,
I have split db with the backend residing on a computer in my workgroup in the shared files folder. I have access to the folder and can view the file perfectly fine on the other computers in the workgroup (a wireless 54Mbps network). The problem I am having is that almost every time i access the backend tables from another computer in the workgroup, access freezes up and has to be shut down. Sometimes, after restarting access it works fine, others not at all.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all! Hope you can help me yet again!
My company recently completed a fairly large website for a local travel-agency. The website runs on a MsSQL and .net platform, but (It is a big but(t) by the way) a pricing calculation database is a old MS Access 2000 application.
The users of this DB have MSA2000 installed on their computers, and the database is made with one application DB and connected tables.
My problem is that I have to make some small changes to this DB, but when I start it up, the toolbars is hidden and right-clicking is disabled. (F11 works).
Is there a workaround this problem?

Okay,
This is a bit of a weird one I hope someone can help with. I have a fairly small db that needs 3 con-current users. It is split and until recently, the backend resided on one of the computers in the shared folders directory. In this configuration it worked fine, but just recently I have set up a network using a Mac OSX server (xserve) and it is causing a bit of grief. It seems that only one user can access the backend at a time and I have tried just about everything listed in these forums with regards to permissions etc. One bizarre thing is a post here suggested I join/create a new workgroup, did that, stored on the same shared directory on the server. Every time one of the other users on the network joins the workgroup, then re-opens the frontend, they are still logged in as Admin, not the new user recently created. The folder where the workgroup file and backend reside definitely has no access restrictions. Is it something to do with the Mac environment or something else. The only way around it so far is to log 2 of the computers to the server as the same user, this sort of works.
Another weird thing is every time one of our users opens the frontend, a new workgroup file is created, system1, system2 etc. Is this normal?
Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.!!

I have an MS-SQL backend which i use for my data source. I then use Access for reporting services. (It works so much better than SQL Reporting Services 2005).
this seems simple, but i can't get it to work. Everytime the users start up access, It pops up a login and password for the ODBC link. Even when i have the password and login setup in the ODBC DSN, it still requests it everytime you start connecting to the datasource.
Is there anyway to somehow hard code this into the Access front end somehow so i don't have to give the password to the users?

Hi!
I'm making a test database for DVD rentals. When A loan is made I have an update query that sets some fields in the DVD copy table. One of these fields needs to be set to the primary key of the loan made. This would be the last entry on the loans table. I don't have any idea what to put in the 'Update To' box in the query though.
Wrong code here, but this may help explain what I am trying to get: Tables.Loans.LastLoan.Loan ID
Also heres an image of my query:

I currently am trying to do this:
dim a as form
a = me.form
I get the following error: "Invalid use of property"
Is there a function that lets you select a form using its name.
eg: makeactiveform("NameOftheForm")
Or alternatively if there is a function that gets the activeform. (it's for use in a module)
I you can help me Thank you!

Hi!
I want to access individual rows in a subform (frmOrderdetails (datasheet view)).
The reason for this is that I have a checkbox at the end of each orderline, and user will be able to check individual lines and do a return of these lines.
For now, I have a query to return lines, but the problem is that when there are two lines checked, it'll only return the first one.
Anybody that knows how to obtain this?
:-)
Thank you!
