hi all i have a big prob!
i opened up my database this morning and it has been working fine all day, suddenly where it is located a copy of my database has been worked, and the original when opens shows nothing, anyone knows what happened?thanks
Long time ago some computerdude made a database for my dad so he had a place for his customerinformation. When I open the file on his computer the file sort of "start" or "run" - there appears a little window where you can click buttons like "find customer", "remind me in two days" etc. That's how it always has worked and how it should work.
We have bought a new computer. We want a new database for me, where I can type my customers in the exact same way as in my dads access file. I have managed to import all the tables etc. without any data, BUT
I CAN'T GET THE DATABASE TO "RUN" OR "START" WHEN I OPEN THE ACESSFILE! HOW DO I GET THE LITTLE WINDOW WITH THE BUTTONS TO APPEAR IN THE SAME WAY AS ON MY DADS COMPUTER?
I only get the tables and the kind of "edit mode" when I open the program.I have tried to change the securitysettings, so access dosn't block any macros.
I have a customer who is concerned that their access database may be copied and used by a competitor. I have told him to set up passwrods for all users amd hide the system file which stores the password info so database won't open off site if copied. He doesn't want to do this though. Is there any other way, possibly by encrypting it?
Regards :confused:
Hi! I'm relatively new to Access (2003) . I had to modify a shared network app so I copied it off and renamed it, made my mods and everything is fine. I then went to another app that connects to the original app to obtain data for display and synchronization, modified the call to open the new app including the new mdw. When it hits the new mdw, it can't open it because it says it's being used exclusively or the workgroup file is missing. It's not being used exclusively and it doesn't appear to be missing. The network path is correct. If I use the mdw from the original source app, it works fine. Please advise! :(

I made a little Access app for a friend, to do his invoices. Access wouldn't allow me to copy the db to a CD, but advised me to convert it to a Master. I followed all the instructions (honest!). Afterwards, I could burn his db to a CD and, on his computer, it opened but wouldn't allow edits or new records - not terribly helpful for an invoicing program :eek:
Since then I've tried creating a new admin in his name, re-setting all permissions, blah blah ... Basically, it looks like there is loads of help on securing a database but very little on un-securing it enough to be transferred to another PC!
The dang thing persists in allowing everything except edits & additions :confused:
I can't find out how to convert it back from a Master to ... what, a slave? :p
Even so, that wouldn't be the answer coz I'd be back at square1.
I use a PC running XP and Office 2003. My invoice-less friend has a PC with Win[NT]2000 and Office 2000. I converted the database to Access 2000. I am way out my depth here, but hoping you Access swimmers will be able to advise :cool:
I have a report in my DB that displays the results of several queries. How can I have the information displayed on my report entered into a table as a record when the report is generated?
Hope you can help!!

So I have this killer report that took me hours to set up. I run it daily and it is great.
I now need to filter it slightly for 1 specific user. So what I did was I copied the query and renamed it. I added the filter I needed. But I don't want to have to re-create the report. Even though I know what I need it will take quite a bit of time to recreate it.
Is there a better way? Can I copy the report (using the same query) but add the filter on the report side?
hi,
i made an attendance db for work and got it to work. i then copied it and made two more for years 2 and 3. Years 1 and 3 work perefectly but for some reason the year 2 db won't allow me to write the data.
this is driving me nuts as i have already spent a few hours putting the students in and their course selections. i've tried making the forms again and as soon as i use a joint sub form to get the students first name the problem occurs. i've looked at the properties of the forms and they allow edits etc..
if anyone is feeling kind and has a spare moment, could you let me know why it doesn't work.
cheers
I have a form with a duplicate record button to allow records to be copied. I used this code (I think from Allen Browne), but it only copies the last record in the recordset?
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any changes
Me.Dirty = False
End If
If Me.NewRecord Then 'Check there is a record.
MsgBox "Select a record to duplicate"
[Code] .....
So i have a union query pulling together about 3,000 records from other queries.
I arranged all the counts and data I need to fit onto one page, but the report is copying that page (minus the header) for each record in the union query. I'd much prefer a one page report rather than a 3,000 page report.
Why does it do that? All I want is a one page report, how can I make that happen?
I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:
1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.
2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.
I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.

I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.
Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.
What is the best way to do this?
I have been working on a database for over a month now, and my boss just threw a monkey wrench in my work. I believed that the Metal Market Prices would be entered once a week in the current DB. My boss informs me today that he wants an employee to go in every morning and enter that days Price for Each Metal with respect to many different markets.
There is a total of 12 metals, and 5 markets. I need the data to be stored first by date, then by either market or metal, and lastly by which ever isn't used second (Either: date-market-metal, or date-metal-market). I think the Latter of the two methods makes the most sense. Is it possible for my current DB to lookup values from the Metals Database based on date-metal-market?
I have a problem that seems to be happening on several users' databases and is causing a big problem. None of the databases is a shared database...they are all single-user databases on stand-alone computers. I have tried looking for help within previous posts, but all seem to be related to shared databases.
I am getting an error message: "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." The database cannot be opened, imported, repaired...nothing seems to work.
Again...these are NOT shared databases. I appreciate any help I can get. I created the database for all of the secretaries in our school district to keep up with absence data. It involves many tables, queries, forms and reports, and has generally worked well. However I am now seeing several that are getting similar errors as mentioned.
Thanks!
I'm new to Access and VBA, for the record. What I need to do is copy a SQL database (table structures and records) and save it as a local Access database, so that the user can query and make any changes on the local file without editting the SQL database.
Looking around, it seems like the best option would be to use the TransferDatabase method with the acImport option. Does this sound reasonable, or can someone with more experience suggest a better way to go about it? Thanks.
I am testing the security of my DB X on Acccess 2007. I could create a new database Y and linked to the database X. Unfortunately i could change the records on the tables. I don't want other DB that make connections to my DB to change my tables!
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to access a table in one Database (Database A) from a separate Database (Database B) and if so how. I should clarify that this is an Access Database.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a database with forms, querys, etc. Now I was thinking of creating a exe so everyone can use this database without having access to all the design functions.
the only problem I see about doing this is if we need to use the same database for different project, we need to always create a new exe for each project.
Is there a way to make a empty database exe with just the layout, querys etc but with no data on the tables and have a save, open and save as option. So we can have several projects using the same database?
I was thinking to create a VB code for the database to delete all data on the tables when the database is open.
and before closing the database exporting all the data to a txt file or something.
Then the next time someone opens the database goes to the main form which has a open bottom which imports the txt file into the tables.
This way we can have several txt file for several project and use always the same exe database.
I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
Does anyone know how this is done?
Thank you in advance for your help,

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a car dealership database and have a servicing section.
I want to create a form to service these vehicles.
The only vehicles which will be displayed on the from are the sold ones (because you cannot service a vehcile which hasnt been sold) which i have a query for.
I also want the form to display the customer who owns the car the service details (eg what they need), the parts availiable and the parts required for the service.
The calculations i need to make in this form are as follows
quantity needed (parts required table) - quantity in stock (purchasing customer parts table)
quantity needed (parts required table) * price (Parts Table) + labour (servicing table) = part/labour costs (servicing table)
