Before I ask my question I was wondering if it was possible to attach a zip file of the database I'm working on? It would save some typing.
Thanks

Hello I'm New To This Forum And I Have A Question :)
May 16, 2005Several of my databases is a little slow and that puzzles me since there isn't over 200mb of data yet :confused:
Is there any advantage in storing data on an oracle server and will it speed up things or is there other things I can do?
Perhaps someone in here would be so kind to look at my database and give some advice on the structure and possible changes to improve performance?
Perhaps I should add that I don't know much about other database tools so I'm shooting in blind here.
So if anybody will look at my database and see if he/she can optimize it I will be happy. I can leave little data inside to allow You to see the output - if needed.
I'm not very technical with access (not yet) so things might be done differently than I do to speed up things
Any help is greatly appreciated :)
Forum Restructure
Mar 19, 2007Due to the ongoing bulk of regular spam posts that this forum receives, and based on similar activity on other forums, I think it would seem to be that the reason for this is the use of the word 'General' in the forum's title. In my experience it is the areas marked this way that generate the most spam, be it 'General Discussion' or otherwise.
So, in order to try and combat this, I was thinking that it may be in the forum's interests to change the name of this section. If it's what spambots are geared up to search for then it makes sense to shield the target from them.
My thinking is that, were I to change the name, the forum would be best placed at the base of the 'Microsoft Access Discussion' area and renamed to 'Other Issues'.
Thus, my plan would be to have the 'Microsoft Access Forum' ordered in this way:
Database Design
Tables
Queries
Forms
Reports
Macros
Modules
Other Issues
I'd appreciate others thoughts on this so reply away. There's a poll at the top of this thread if you just want to post a yes/know/don't know sort of response. The poll will only be active for one week, starting now.
This Forum Got Me In Trouble...
May 1, 2007Hello all active members of this forum,
Like I stated on the title, this forum got me into trouble. By following the reading in this forum and some recommendations from the regular users I have created thre database for the place I work at. now they want me to be the official DB admin! :eek:
So now I'm coming back to you guys for more advice... :rolleyes: what reading should I do to better my Access knowledge over all.
Any recommendation is welcome.
I have already contacted th local college and they do have a distant learning class for Access and I will be taking it the next semester, but I would like to do some reading into becoming a REAL Access programmer with a solid foundation.
There must be some good books out there to purchase to get me started. So all are welcome to give me some feedback.
Thanks!

Forum Database
Jan 2, 2006I have been tasked to design a Forum Database using ASP, could someone please point me in the right direction as to the design for table structure for this.
I know that the user will be looking at a web front end which in turn will be accessing the Access Database.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Complex Sub-forum
Jan 5, 2007I'm trying to design a system for an electronics shop. I have two tables, one called Products and another called Suppliers.
The Products table has the following fields-
- 1) Product ID
2) Supplier ID
3) ProductName
4) Information
5) Price
The Suppliers table has the following fields-
- 1) Supplier ID
2) Company
3) Address 1
4) Address 2
5) Address 3
6) Town
7) County
8) Post Code
9) Country
10) PhoneNumber
11) FaxNumber
Basically I want to create a form to show the supplier name and ID and then implement a sub- forum which shows all the product details for that supplier. How do I do this? Do I have to use a query?
Thanks
Recommendations On SQL Server Forum ?
Oct 6, 2005Recently I moved the back end of some databases I develop and maintain to a SQL Server for speed and stability purposes.
Whilst this forum has been great for digging out answers to various Access problems I encounter, I persume there are some similar forums dealing with SQL.
Has anyone got some recommendations ?????

I have searched FAQs, advanced search, etc., and know I'm not looking in the right places.
Question: How do you, in this forum, publish a URL using a descriptive title versus the actual URL itself?
Obviously it's not rocket-science since so many contributors do it apparently effortlessly, but folks I'm struggling.
Please point me in the right direction.

Using Google To Search The Forum
Feb 9, 2007Did you know that you can use Google to search the Access Forum and get a more refined result?
I find that the search facility provided is excellent at searching for single words. However it does not provide the sophistication of tools like Google for searching for exact phrases.
To get this sophistication do this:
Open Googles advanced page: (http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en)
The first section of this page is shaded blue, and contains the following items:
with all of the words
with the exact phrase
with at least one of the words
without the words
You can add words to varying degrees of sophistication for your search.
This is the important bit!
Just below this blue shaded area there is another section, go to the fifth item down in this section which is:"Domain" also make sure "Only" is selected. In the next text box (to the right of Only) place the domain you want to search in, this case you want to search the Access Forum so place in this box the following:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums
Now give it a try! Try searching for: "Date Selection" (without the Quotes)
If you search for this with the above Google method, you will get 90 results, If you search this result with the Forum search then you will get over 300 results.
Caveats:
Your search will only return items within the access-programmers site, and only items that are allowed to be indexed by Google.

How Do You Put Usernames In Forum In Access? Please Help Me?
May 25, 2006Hi,

I want to have a online business (using Dreamweaver and Access) but, I want to organize my data and I want to figure out how (when you go onto a website say target.com) to make the username and password in Access (Like when you register for an account, you put in your username, password, email address...ect. and the you make your account and then when you put in you username and password again to log into your account (I want to know how to do that)). Another thing, when the person logs into a account and wants to buy a product how do you do that in access.
Any answers can help me.
You could send me a link to a webpage that tells me how to do this stuff.
Any Tips?:)

Does Some From The MS Access Group Monitor This Forum?
Mar 10, 2006Surely I am not the only one who imports text files in to Access (on XP) containing double quote characters???
Does Access quit the import at the double quote character for anyone else.
To the MS Access group.. have you tried this??

Noob Question Sorry. Forum Sizes!
May 30, 2006How can i make all my forums fill my screen? so dont have to recreate them? so they are not just tiny boxes. as originaly designed? I looked in hope that there maybe have been something in the startup drop drop down, but i was't so luck. also tried to select whole forum and group and name the whole thing bigger by dragging the resize command. but this just messed the whole forums up so i did't save changes.

Limited Posts In Access DB Forum
May 2, 2007Hi there!
I`ve been using Access DB for a forum for about two years now, but from time to time I have to download the db and delete about a 1000 posts (+/-).
The reason for this is that the db want accept more posts unless I do so.
My question is how do I "extend" the db to accept more posts?
Thx in advance,

Not Able To Enter Or Change Data In A Forum
Aug 13, 2007Here is my problem:
I created a Query to calculate an over all rateing useing other data that was already in the database. The Query worked out perfectly, and I then wanted to put the one field that gave me the overall rateing that I just calculated and put it into a form. So I added the Query with the rateing into the one that made up the other form and added the field to the Query. The problem was that when i went into that form and added the field, it made it so that i could no longer change any of the data on that forum. I thought that it might have something to do with the fact that there were no fields with math in them in that form untill i added the over all rateing one, could that have messed it up? Please send me some seggestions because I havent a clue at what could be worng. Thank you, Ben
Attention To The Best Access / VB Programmers In This Forum
Feb 9, 2006Right first of all hi everyone,
i have been to about four forums now and No One has been able to make this work it can be done as i have seen it from the access sample database (Order Entry). I have been informed that this forum has the best of the best in access guru's, this problem has had me stuck for 2 weeks i don't normally asked for help but it has breached my knewledge base and now its time for an expert to have a look at it.
I have had many suggestions but none have worked, below is the link to the Order Entry database so you can see what i am trying to acheive and also another link of my actual database as it stands.
The problem is that i have a form called Customers this is displayed when the database is opened, the form has a subform called QuoteSelector that holds all the quotes if there are no quotes then the user is then able to add a new customer and then create a quote when they click the Create New Quote button.
Then another form called Quotes opens this holds the data form the quote and also has a subform called QuoteBuilder, this form holds all the materials that have been selected for the quote.
Now when i click the Create Invoice button that is on the Customers page i want all the information from these forms to be displayed in my report called Invoice. I have already created the Invoice i am just having trouble in passing the CustomerID and the QuoteID to the Invoice or i think this is what is needed in order to make all the data display.
If you can help this would be great as no other forum has been able to and this one has the best reputation for programmers with access so well i will have to see it, but please take a look at the Order Entry database and see how the Invoice is generated you will notice a box pop up letting the user enter more details i don't want this i just want the invoice to come up and then the user can print it.
Thanks in advance and hope this can be done:
This is the sample database Order Entry

Jul 7, 2006Yea yea I know, another one...
But the way I see is that I haven't asked them all so its ok... :p
Right basically, I only want to allow input of Y N or P into a text field. I thought it would be best to do it with an onkeypress event as I know of no way to block certain characters in a text field with an input mask.. this is what I came up with but it doesnt seem to work...
If Not KeyPress=78 Or Not KeyPress=80 Or Not KeyPress=89 Then KeyPress = 0
Any ideas?

Don't Know Where To Post This
Jul 8, 2006I am developing an Access (2000) database to provide reporting data gathered from SAP and make it easily accessable for 12 analysts. The data set is HUGE, 5 months nearly a gig and will need at least 2 years worth, so I don't see any option other than using SQL as a back end. I have experiance using SQL server as the back end but have never had to develop my own server.
I do not have access to an existing server but do have permission to purchase SQL software, this is where I need the help. If anyone has suggestions, advice, links or other information I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks in advance for your help.
“where I added information”
A lot of you have been reading this but no help.:eek: Did I use a poor title? I have used SQL as a back end but really need to know how to produce one out of thin air.
I ordered SQL 2005 off my company's IT store but when reading further it needs a special operating system, I think. Is this true? What do I need to have in order to provide a very large data set to a bunch of barely computer literate analysts?
These people are excited when they realize that vlookup can do more than one thing!! The concept of a union query would blow them away. I am frustrated with the competency of my co-workers but need to give them something that is idiot proof without letting them know that this is the object.
Currently they are having an SAP download sent to a specified share drive and running an Excel “macro”, moves a couple of columns an such, that puts it into a format that is semi-usable. This is totally inefficient for their needs but they don’t know it as yet.
What I am asking is how to take a fairly robust pc and make it a SQL server that will service a dozen or so people. What kind of operating system is needed and what sort of admin rights will be necessary to allow access to the desktop so they can get their data?
The IT help desk is very scary, not really understanding the requests presented. I haven’t been with the company very long but what I have garnered disturbs me I don’t believe the IT people have a clue.
I’ve been an Access developer for about 4 years now and know this is not an insurmountable obstacle. I am confident that SQL is the solution but haven’t ever had to create it from scratch before. Please, links or other suggestions are MOST appreciated.
