Can't Install Or Run Access 97 On Win XP SP2
May 18, 2007
I have a genuine Microsoft CDs and keys, one with Office 97 Small Business Edition, and the other with Access 97 (these are both the full version, NOT upgrades). As I got new machines over the years (both Windows 98 and Windows XP SP 2), I installed the software from both CDs without incident a number of times on on each of those machines. I now have a new Lenovo T60 laptop (again with Win XP SP 2, 1 GB of RAM, and over 100 GB of free disk space).
Word, Excel and Outlook from the Office 97 SBE CD installed normally and run normally, except that I had to rename two Registry keys to get past an error message during installation saying that htmlmarq.ocx could not register itself (see http://forum.theispguide.com/isp-ftopic2753.html). When I went to install Access on the new machine, it kept prompting me to either point it to the folder where the "qualifiying product" was installed, or to insert that product's CD, before it would let me proceed with the "upgrade" - all this despite the fact that this is definitely a full product CD, and NOT an upgrade version. I went round and round with this a number of times, and eventually got past this series of screens (I don't remember how I did it, I was just so relieved to have circumvented the problem).
The balance of the installation appeared to complete normally. However, when I try to launch Access, I get an out of memory error, even immediately after a re-boot and with no other applications running. Does anyone have any ideas about how to resolve this?

Recently I copied a database to another machine at a client. First problem, the open report command canceled, then thining I had a code problem I tried to open the report from the menu. It will not open or allow me to go into design mode, althouh forms and queries will NO reports will allow this. The when I try to open the forms in design mode they crap out with a msacces.exe aborted mesage.
This database works on 53 other macines so it has to be something paculiar to this particular machine. I have tried a complete unisnstall and install twice to no avail.
Version: Access 2003 sp1

I'm setting up a DB for my wife's machine shop. She has Windows 2000 (for accounting purposes) and her assistant has XP. I have 2000 at home so I installed Access 2003 on my computer, created the database, table, query, macro, and switchboard, and it works great.
Problem? Apparently, I cannot use the same product key more than twice.
I installed it on my wife's machine, but couldn't activate it on her assistant's machine.Microsoft says this is in the end user license agreement, and I'll have to take their word for it cuz I didn't read it.
My question: Is there some sort of workaround for this? If I deactivate it/uninstall it on my machine will that help? I don't need it now that the db is set up anyway.
I just need to get it activated on the 3rd (assistant's) machine ASAP.

Hello to everyone.
I am reading this forum for a while now and I learned here almost everything I know. But, now i am having problem and I really don't know how to solve it. I am trying to test some little program which I made fo my company. It is Access 2000 database and I made it with Access 2003. Everything is working 100% in Access 2003. BUT, problem is that this database will be run on several mashines in two of our companies and in that other company they have a lot of computers with Win98 installed. I have Access 2003 Developer and I managed to make deployment for computers in my resident company, but, as you probably know, Access 2003 is not working on Win98 computers.
So, I tried to install Access 2000 Runtime on those computers and I am still trying because stupid installation won't finish! It just stops when it comes almost to the end of instalation and nothing happens. I tried to wait for some time but instalation is dead. I also tried to make clean instalation of Win98, but nothing changed. There is no Access on those computers of any kind.
I tried to search forum for solution, but I didn't find it.
Please, help me!

Hello,
Is it possible to install two versions of MS Access on the same O.S. I already have Access97 installed. Now I want to install access 2003 without it up removing my previous access 97. If it removes/upgardes access 97 to access 2003 I will not be able to open my access 97 database.
Is this possible? and if so how?
Thanks--any help will be much appreciated.

Hi all..
I am not even sure if it will be possible.
I use Access 2003 and Access developer extensions for packaging the software(operating system is Windows 2000)..everytime I upgrade my software, the users need to uninstall it from their computer and then install my new version..
Is it possible to automate this process so that users click a button on the application and uninstall and install is taken care?
I know I can run a batch file using shell command...but can I create a bat file to uninstall and install? Now, users goto add/remove programs and remove their current version before they install new version.
Thanks

In have a db that was created with Access 2003. I recently installed Access 2007 and kept the old version as well. However, when I try to work with the db in Access 2003, I am getting all kinds of errors. When I run the same db in a machine installed only with Access 2003, it runs fine. I am thinking that it might be the reference library. Can anyone help. If it is the reference library, how can I revert back to the old reference library.

WindowsNT 4.0 Service Pack 6 error in access runtime install
I have an access runtime install package that has worked numerous times
installing on XP Home. It was built using Office XP developer's packaging
wizard.
I tried installing it on a brand new PC running XP Home but it generates the
error:
Visual Basic 6.0 Setup Toolkit
The office system pack cannot be installed on this system because it
requires Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 or later.
I cannot find any info on this - any ideas?

Hi everyone.
Have been testing installation of Office XP Developer Access 2002 runtime package created using the package wizard on a WinXP Pro SP2 machine, for installation on a Vista RC2 5840 machine.
After installing the latest necessary updates such as Office XP Developer SP1 among others which were essential to remove the Path/File error I had, A new error displayed itself as soon as the runtime install package launched.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Visual Basic 6.0 Setup Toolkit (Error Window Title Bar)
The Office System Pack cannot be installed on this system because it requires Windows NT Service Pack 6 or later.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I assume Windows NT SP6 has no relevance to Vista ???
Maybe some other update will help here. I have googled for hours to no avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you and best wishes for 2007.
Joe.

I have a text box on a form with the Control Source set to: =Pi() It's giving me a #Name? error, as is Control Source: =Radians(34) Seeing this note in the help file related to Pi() ...
Some functions display the error #NAME? instead of a value.
Some of the spreadsheet functions are provided through a separate dynamic link library file, Msowcf.dll. If this file is missing, the functions display the #NAME? error value when you open the spreadsheet in your browser. Search for Msowcf.dll on your computer, and if it's missing, either reinstall Microsoft Office 2000 or contact your system administrator.I searched my computer for Msowcf.dll and found it installed in:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft Access RuntimOffice10
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10
I'm using Office 2000 on this computer (Front Page 2002).

I know its possible to have 2 different versions of Access installed, and that you have to uninstall then start in with the earliest version. BUT can I have 3 different versions? I think it should be no problem but thought I would ask first.
I am looking at 97, 2000, and 2003. Plan is to do just Access 97, 2000, and then the full office install of 2003.

I had some work done on my Database a few weeks ago and it works great.
I just got an email from the guy who did the work and he wants me to pay him more money....he said he forgot to bill me for 6 hours.
I told him I didn't think that was fair and wasn't really willing to pay for more hours....he then said he never sent the "non-expiry" versions of the databases.....he also said I have 15 days left until they expire.
Considering I done additional work on them I was wondering if this is possible?
Bruce
P.S. I hate being taken advantage of.....he was really good to work with but now he's trying to rob me.

Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
Thanks in advance.

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 have a simple access search form , that's based on a query that fill parameters from the form textboxes, when the access form loads its keeps prompting for parameters value which looks ugly .. I want to open the form, displaying all the records in the table and filter when i click search ..
I have a data entry entry form, that i want to generate success message after successful insert in database. I have done it in the button event if no error happens, still if i left all fields blank and clicked save, it displays the message ..
I need to change that to display please fill the textboxes then click save , and display success message when the row is actually inserted ..
Check the following attachment for sample.

I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri
Masonry NSW');'

Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.

I have a stock control database which i have nearly completed. This has Manufacturer, which is linked to products, which is linked to Sub Product(which also has field partCode). i.e. Manufacturer1 can have 3 products, and each of these products could have 5 subsystems and partcodes. Each partcode is unique to that subsystem/product/manufacturer.
I then have a pricing spreadsheet in excel, which has many tabs. A new column has been added for each item for Manufacturer,Product,Subsystem and Partcode.
I need to import these manufacturers,products,subsystems and partcodes, but into the tables with the correct relationships, i.e. product1 and product2 are products of manufacturer1 and so cannot come under manufacturer2, and so on.
I hope this makes sense, Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
Emily
