I created a split database. The backend went on a shared network drive where all my users have read/write priviledges. Then I gave each of my users a copy of the front end that they put on their local computers. According to all of my research, with this setup Access is suppose to allow multiple users in the database simultaneously. However, if anyone tries to open the database when someone else is already using it they get the error message "file in use".
I've confirmed with IT and the Admin for the folder that all of my users have read/write priviledges to the shared drive housing the backend. There are only 6 users and usually it is only 2 who want to use database simultaneously.
My IT person said that they have heard this type of problem with Access before. Usually, people have to shell out money and get a server because Microsoft's claim that Access can run on a shared drive is usually untrue.There is no way I'm going to get a server so I have to make the database on a shared drive work.
I was working with one access application 2 months ago and I stoped. Now, I opened this access file and try to continue with it. But I have problem! On every button, when I click on this button (it could be button for cllosing form or any other) there is one message box with followed text: "Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost." I have no ideao what is going on! Even, when I create new form, put the button on it, when I click on this button, the same message appears. Can someone help me? What is wrong with with my Access or with my Windows. P.S. I have Pentium IV, 512 MB Ram, Windows XP, and MS Access 2000. Please, do send me an e-mail on dculic71@hotmail.com or contact me on ICQ (101967172)
I have a vba code export a error message if the current date of a file is not correct.. I have tested the code it worked to send a error message to a error.txt file but he it doesn't look to the modified date
So instead of:
file1.txt (13-02-14) Then Send error message ("file not updated") to: Error.txt
IF NOT no action requeried
This code does the following :
file1.txt (Modified date: 13-02-14) Then Send error message ("file not updated") to: Error.txt
file2.txt (Modified date: 14-02-14) Then Send error message ("file not updated") to: Error.txt
Code: Sub CheckD() Dim FSO As Object: Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim objFile As Object: Set objFile = FSO.GetFile("C:Users ameDocumentsShow5621.txt") If objFile.DateLastModified <> Date - 1 Then
[Code] .....
So also if it is the current date he send the error message to the error.txt file, it could be possible that i did something wrong.
It is my understanding that a custom macro was built to pull text data from a file and import it into Access in the appropriate fields. This macro no longer works and will return the following error message:
"License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in design mode."
It only gives an option to click OK. When you do it shows a box called "Action Failed" that lists the macro name, condition, action name, and arguments with three button to click on the right of the box: "Step" "Halt" and "Continue". It appears that only the "Halt" button is available to be clicked.
Does this sound like an issue with the Access license or whatever license the macro might have? We're trying to decide if it's possible to restore the functionality of the macro.
Does anybody know what this error message refers to?
"Reserved Error (-1517); there is no message for this error."
It just started happening today, and I haven't even made any changes to the database. It occurs when I hit a button I have to run a macro.
the macro does the following: 1) Shows all records 2) Requery 3) ApplyFilter. The Where Condition for the filter is: Right([tblContracts].[JobNum],4)=Right([Forms]![FrmContProc].[txtFindJobNum],4)
The weird thing is that it only occurs if the Form window is taller than 1/2 of my viewable area. If the Form window is 1/2 the viewable area or shorter, it works OK. This was running fine earlier today, but about 4:00 pm (03/31/06) this started happening.
If anybody knows what this error means, or how to get rid of it (I really need to use this window in full-screen) then please let me know.
Hi folks - need some help with what is probably very easy but I just can't get it.
I am running an access database on a 2 pc network with shared access etc. I can see all files on both computers but when I try to open the same file on both systems I get error message " could not lock file" I had another database earlier this year working on the two machines perfectly and was able to input data from both and the file was not a froint end back end structiure.
also if is any help the second machine only seems to be able to open in Read only mode. I have tried the user permission on the my computer allow shared access but this has not fixed it.
I have attached a screen print of an error message I recieved on my access database. I finally got it to come up, but only after a few pop up boxes with this error message.
I do know the shared drive it is housed on went on the fritz. So I copied it and pasted it to my desk top. Grrr...I thought this message was due to the flipping shared drive. But now, I recieved it on my desk top too.
Anywho...can someone look at it and tell me what it means.
Thanks alot.
PS, i know my desktop has to much stuff, so don't go there. ;)
Hi can anyone help i keep clicking on a qry and it comes up with this message "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tblSTSLimits.Max Short'. but Max Short is correct can anyone help
I have a table that keeps crashing. The only error message I get is "Invalid Argument". Each time, a single record will turn into "#Error". Each field says this in the row. When this happens, Access won't let me delete just that row,
I am trying to Right Join two queries which are basically from the same exact table, but when I do that I get the following error.
ODBC--called failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The column prefix 'MS1' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. (#107).
The following is a copy of my SQL
SELECT PqryExpiredPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Orig_Exp_Date, PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key, PqryNewPolicy.Policy_Number, PqryExpiredPolicy.Name FROM PqryNewPolicy RIGHT JOIN PqryExpiredPolicy ON PqryNewPolicy.Insured_Key = PqryExpiredPolicy.Insured_Key;
I have looked for this MS1 and cannot find it. Any ideas where I should be looking or what this means?
I get the following error message when I open a form, but I cant see anything wrong:
Run Time Error '2447':
There is an invalid use of the . (dot) or ! operator or invalid parenttheses.
This is the code that causes the problem:
Private Sub Form_Activate() If Me.SumOfTotalGVS > 16 Then MsgBox "You have exceded the total amount of GVS on the CATT site" Let Me.SumOfTotalGVS.BackColor = 255 Me.SumOfTotalGVS.ForeColor = 65535 Else Let Me.SumOfTotalGVS.BackColor = 16777215 Me.SumOfTotalGVS.ForeColor = 0 End If End Sub
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this line of code please. Im trying to count the number of records on another form that is open. This is an On_Click command from another form.
Hello all, I have an access application. I imported a form to it with all related tables and queries and modules from another application. Unfortunetaly, it didn't work. It gives me this error message when openning the form: The expression On Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: User-defined type not defined.
i have a form that allows me to save mobile phone details.
The problem with this form is that if its incomplete and i click 'x' it shows me the validation message followed by an error message (which is attached with this thread).....
why is that? is there anyway i can exit the form (incomplete) without the valdation message or error message occuring???
Function Age(varBirthDate As Variant) As Integer Dim varAge As Variant
varAge = DateDiff("yyyy", varBirthDate, Now) If Date < DateSerial(Year(Now), Month(varBirthDate), _ Day(varBirthDate)) Then varAge = varAge - 1 End If Age = CInt(varAge) End Function
I get this error when I try to run a query. I have attached a screeen print of the problem. Every thing else works just fine it is the same query I copied it and just change one of the fields. the other query orks fine.
the below scrip was taken from another forum member.
i have put this in the Forms / error VBA
but i still a little lost
i have set 3 fields to be indexed not to allow duplicate information (Forename, Surename, DOB)
i was then advised to error trap so it would highlight that i have enterd a duplicate record on typing in the DOB (As that as third feild to be entered)
so i then used the below script, however this doesnt highlight that it is a duplicate it just doesnt let me go on to the next record, the only time the error message is highlighted is when i go into design mode.
anyideas on where to go from here.
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) If DataErr = 3022 Then Response = acDataErrContinue MsgBox "Tis MerID alredy exist!" Exit Sub End If If DataErr = 2169 Then Response = acDataErrContinue MsgBox "Tis record will not be saved!" Exit Sub End If
I have an Access project that when it starts, lets you pick a folder and a file to open as input (done with VBA code), and that works beautifully. My project then processes the opened file and that works fine also. However, when I run the project a second time, pick another file (with the same format), my project then dies on me. If I get completely out of my project and thenre-enter it, it runs fine. I've enclosed a screenshot of the error I'm getting.
Any help is greatly appreciated. And yes, I did a search on this and several other forums as well as on Microsoft's site and could not find anything related to the error I'm getting.
