Any Problem If I Design The Database In 2003 And Use In 2000

I design the db in 2003
include form,report,and query
any problem??
I have written my very first database in Access 2003 but it tells me that it has been saved in Access 2000 Format.
My questions are:
1. Why has it done this?
2. Can I change it 2002 or 2003 format?
I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
i am trying to use access 2000 database onto to access 2003. When i try to click design mode to change something it gives me this message:
You dont have permissions to modify.
If i run it on access 2000 it runs fine.
Someone please help.
Hi,
A few years ago I’ve made an access database on access 2000. The problem is that now I’ve installed the office 2003, and I can’t make the database work properly.
At first says that are missing those files: “tshoot.ocx”, “msioff9.ocx” and “msowc.dll”; so, I’ve copy them from another computer using office 2000 and now only complains about “msioff9.ocx” saying that my database contains a reference incomplete to it.
Is there no other way to convert my database do work properly with access 2003? What can I do?
Regards
I just got a new machine with office 2003 but it doesn't include ms access. Can I use access2k with this new version of office?? so I can do reports and put them into word etc??

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have just sold our first database which is written in Access 2000. However the buyer runs 2003 and we are having trouble with getting it to run correctly. Does anyone know anything about programming differences between MS 2000 Access and 2003?
Also is it possible to install both 2000 and 2003 on one computer (and also 2007)?
So far our problems are:
1. We are tripping their security alerts.
2. We can't seem to read public variables from another form.

I have 5 databases running 100% in Access 2000. We are switching to Office 2003 within a couple weeks via an upgrade. What should I do to prep my databases for the switch?
Is there any upconverting tool I need to do ect? Thanks.
I just upgrades from Access 2000 to 2003 assuming that once I converted my old database, I would get the new style command buttons... is there anything I can do to get them to work?

Need to know if I can open a MS Access 2000 (large) mdb-file in MS Access 2003 Professional without loosing any functionality? Is there a working way around this behaviour of MS Access 2003? It seems now, when comparing from MS 2000 openings some functionality got loose when I open the same 2000 file in Access 2003. Working environment is MS XP professional and all security patches for Office 2003 Pro and XP are applied.

I have developed quite a few Access 2000 applications for clients and continue to maintain and update these applications. I am starting a new position with a client using Access 2003 at the client's location. I would like to upgrade to 2003 but I still need to service my 2000 clients. Can I install and run both versions of Access or can I still maintain the 2000 apps under 2003? Help!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI converted an MS Access 2000 DB to 2003 with no problems. I am able to open it up in Access 2003 now either by double clicking it or from Acccess - file open. I then created an MDE file in Access 2003, but when I tried to open it up I got a message saying
This database is in an unrecognized format.
The database may have been created with a LATER version of Microsoft Office Access than the one you are using. Upgrade your version of Microsoft Office Access to the current one, then open this database.
I noticed a service pack will get rid of this errror. My question is if I distribute the MDE will the user get the same error if they don't have the service pack installed on their PC? Will my installation of the service pack fix the errror and allow anyone to use the file without getting the message.
Thanks
Hi,
In 2000 and xp i used this code to count the rows of a sub form : -
subform_controlname.form.recordset.recordcount
this no longer works in 2003 and i just get #Name? appearing instead???
Any idea's on why that is??
Thanks

I've converted a microsoft access 2000 into 2002-2003 filesystem because I want to build a mde.
First I downloaderd the jet service pack 8.
The problem after the conversion:
reports in a form don't work anymore, the references to form values are popping up as parameters disrupting all the functionality.
The same with the data-entry within this form as i'm using a lot of conditions which reference other form values.
I found out:
The reference to one of my subforms is to the 'name' of the subform which is correctly spelled in the subform.
When using the 'build-up' function to build a reference the loaded form shows a subform name 'with the source-object name' while access normally uses the name value of a subform. What a scam
I have an Access mdb file that uses linked tables to connect to SQL Server 2000 using a System DSN. The Access database contains many databound forms that are used to update data in SQL Server. Recently, we moved the database from a Windows 2000 server to a Windows 2003 server. After we did this, the Access database would lock up at certain spots in the forms.
We have been investigating this for over a week, and finally realized that it seems to be a Windows 2003 issue. We have tried putting the database on two different servers running Windows 2000 and have had no issues.
We then tried putting it on two different Windows 2003 servers, and had the constant lockups.
Our original thought was that there was an issue with the new Jet drivers for Windows 2003, but we looked at the msjet40.dll on both Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 and the version on all is 4.00.9025.0.
Does anybody have any idea on what could be causing this?
Hi
At work I was just updated to access 2003. I am trying to update a data base that I created in access 2000. Whenever I try to open a data access page I get the following error. "The installer encountered an internal string error. Installation failed." I've updated the Web components and that seems to have gone ok. My IT people are at a loss.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Wondering if anyone had tried this yet, and if so, encountered any problems. I have a few existing DB's in the office. Split with backend on server in mdb format. I am now using both 2003 and 2007... BUT.. Now that the runtime is out I would like to make my future updates in 2007. So the question is... Has anyone used a 2007 file format frontend with a 2000 to 2003 file format backend? I understand that the new field properties wouldn't be available in the mdb backend, but besides that, would they still link properly?Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm just wondering if there is any differences in writing queries in vba in different versions of access. i'm developing a search function in access 2000, but it doesn't seem to be working. however, the same code in access 2003 works fine.
Here's an extract of the code when the search button is clicked (I'm getting table information, attribute/field information and condition they're specifying from the user. The result is then displayed in a subform):
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
Dim searchSQL As String
Me.cmbTable.SetFocus
searchSQL = "select * from ENGINEERS INNER JOIN TEL_CABLING ON ENGINEERS.EngID = TEL_CABLING.EngID where " & Me.cmbTable.Text & "."
Me.cmbAttribute.SetFocus
searchSQL = searchSQL & Me.cmbAttribute.Text
Me.txtCondition.SetFocus
searchSQL = searchSQL & Me.txtCondition.Text
Me.subfrmTest.Form.RecordSource = searchSQL
Me.subfrmTest.Form.Requery
End Sub
The part in red is the part that is highlighted whenever i run it in access 2000. The error message is: " You entered an experession that has an invalid reference to the property RecordSource "
Can anyone tell my why it's like that and how i can fix it to work for access 2000?
Thanks I've also enclosed a picture of the form, so you can get a feel of what it looks like.

Ok, I am getting to know MS Access much better than now that I am asked to design a MS Access database...
We have a small company of 20 users. The reason for the database creation is to keep track of the hardware & software inventory that we have. Sometimes, users borrow softwares or laptops and we want to keep track of it. My boss also wants to know how many workstations and how much memory we have in there kind of things. You know, basic inventory...
So, we have 3 servers, 20 workstations, 5 printers, licensed softwares, few hubs, and router... Nothing fancy, a small shop.
So to design this database, I read some MS Access database design guidelines... However, I am still not clear whether I have set it up right because I learned that design part is the toughest part. If the design is good, then rest should be easy... At least right?
So I am thinking about creating 2 tables. Why? Our inventory really is hardware and software, I think. I don't think we have other things...
One table I am thinking of creating is Hardware_Inventory and the other Software_Inventory since that is our goal to create an inventory to keep track of what we have, who has it, where is it, when did we purchase it, how much is it, and what is in the hardwares?
So I created in each table - fields, but I'm not sure whether this is done correctly. Again, I wanted to answer few things if someone were to look at the database: what is it, where is it, who has it, when did we purchase it, how much is it for soft and hardwares, and what is in the hardwares?
Note: Property_Code is going to be a key number or a property tag I will get to put on it and have it as a Primary Key.
Hardware_Inventory_Table:
Property_Code
Description
Make
Model
Model_Number
Year
Serial_Number
Purchase_Date
Purchase_Price
Warranty
Department
Location
On_Loan_To
Duration
Checkout_Date
Checkin_Date
Comment
Software_Inventory_Table:
Property_Code
Description
Vendor
Version
Product_Key
Year
Purchase_Date
Purchase_Price
Warrnaty
Department
Location
On_Loan_To
Duration
Checkout_Date
Checkin_Date
Comment
Then I was going to link the Year, Purchase_Date, Purchase_Price, Warranty, Department, Location, On_Loan_To, Duration, Checkout_Date, Checkin_Date, and Comment....
I need some expert advice whether I have it set up right in the design, whether I have chosen the correct fields, and whether I have made the correct link? Or anything that I need to address or re-design...
thank you,

Hi all. I'm trying to figure out how to make a SQL query require ALL of the data in one record match ALL of the data in another record. I may be using the wrong term when I say record.
What I have is a job order form where I list order details. I list location, start date, client all of the skills the job requires. I also have a candidate form that lists candidate locations all the skills they possess. The skills for each form are drawn from a SkillsInventory table. Once I enter all of the job info into the job order form, a subform lists all matching candidates based on state, availability/start dates, skills and a couple of other items. Everything works fine with the exception that I am returning any candidates with any of the skills in the job order verses only those candidates with ALL of the skills I select for the job order.
I would assume I would enter something under one of the columns in my sql builder/design mode. If I view SQL view, here is what the statement says:
SELECT [EmployeeSkills].[SkillID], [JobOrderSkillsList].[SkillID], [Employees].[LastName], [Employees].[FirstName], [Employees].[MiddleInitial], [Employees].[EndDate], [JobOrders].[OrderID], [Employees].[City], [Employees].[DoNotCall]
FROM ((JobOrders INNER JOIN Employees ON [JobOrders].[StateID]=[Employees].[StateID]) INNER JOIN JobOrderSkillsList ON [JobOrders].[OrderID]=[JobOrderSkillsList].[OrderID]) INNER JOIN EmployeeSkills ON ([JobOrderSkillsList].[SkillID]=[EmployeeSkills].[SkillID]) AND ([Employees].[ContactID]=[EmployeeSkills].[ContactID])
WHERE ((([Employees].[EndDate])<=Date()+14) And (([Employees].[DoNotCall])=False))
ORDER BY [Employees].[EndDate];
