thank you all for your help.
i haved searched and i did not find an answer.
i have splitted my database which is on the citrix server and put the b/end on the shared drive and put the front end on my document on the users desktop. my question when one is using the form the other cannt use the same form? why is that?? how can i fix that. i would like users to use the same forms to enter data at the same time.
thank you
I currently have the following setup for my database which is working as desired when only being used by one user at a time:
Front end: Access 2010 database in Citrix
Back end: SharePoint List
The problem is that only one user can open the Access Database at a time since this action locks the database for other potential users. The locking occurs due to this link to the back end SharePoint list.
allow multiple users to update the SharePoint list through the access database at the same time?
Has anyone ever used an Access on a Citrix platform?
I don't know anything about it, other than the cottage people that access the database from home, using Citrix constantely corrupted my database.
Was it the internet correction or was it Citrix?
All pros and cons would be great.
Hi
I am in the middle of developing a DB which will be multi user.
My boss wants to install a Citrix server over the next few weeks.
He has now asked me if we can pilot this database with the citrix server.
Can anyone advise what (if any) pit falls I may be in for as we head down this route?
Many thanks

I have several tables all with identical fields (just different data). How can I put all those records into one table (or querry?
Thanks!
Hi Guys,
Got something which has been bugging me like mad for weeks now;
We have a MS Access Database on a Citrix server and a local copy is downloaded to the clients directory when they log on.
When they actually double click and load the database(frontend) it loads for approx 4/5mins before it eventually opens. After that it is fine, unless they log off and back on again, then the same thing happens when they double click to open the database.
The Backend is stored on a seperate server with over 5million records on it.
Before we attempted Citrix we had a normal network and the frontend has always loaded fine on this.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I'm back yet again with a new and intriguing set of problems.
I am building a fancy report and Come to find out you cannot use SQL to return one simple number in a text box because even though you know you will write the statement to return only one answer everytime, access doesnt understand that so we can do a domain aggregate thing with DLookup.
OK fine I have to do alot of them but still OK, here is my issue
I can get DLookup to give me what I want if i type into each control source the criteria that I want to return.
I want to lookup a number from a recordset but there are two things that make the number unique date and strain. strain is easy to cough up in the right place because i will hard code that into the control source dlookup, the part that is killing me is the date
I can get a dlookup to give me accurate results based on multiple criteria, but how can i get that to include the date for which I am running this report.
I do enter the date parameter each time i open the report.
Here's what i got so far
=DLookUp("csQuantity","SpawnScheduleCulSpawn","csstrain='AC-PA'" & " AND week = #4-29-07#")
That returns the answer i want, but i have 50 of these text boxes in one report so i cant go through and write the date in each one.
how can i make the part following " AND week =" dynamic so that it runs the date that i entered as the parameter for the report?
Thanks in advance!
Hi.
I developed a db on a local verison of Access 2003 (saved in Access 2000 format). It works great thanks to much help from this forum.
I recently moved the db to a server and tested how it worked when using Access 2000 on a citrix platform. This is important since the users of the db will be using this accursed platform. A few things (vba functions) broke but I deleted the affected code. However, one thing 'broke' that I can't eliminate.
When I click a button on one form I have a transfer spreadsheet command run to export the output of a query to a particular xls file/location. However, in the citrix environment I get an error message "Formats that enable export as html, xls, or rtf are missing from the windows registry".
I'm guessing this has something to do with the citrix server setup. Is there anything I can do on my end to avoid this problem or, as I fear, am I stuffed?
Cheers,
Craig
I have 3 staffs
how can i make it possible for them to work in a same access file
with same form , query ???
I'm making a project in VB, and I need it to link to a Database,I already know how to do this
the project is a bit like who wants to be a millionaire with all the questions in an access table,
I know I need the following fields;
the auto number
the question
Answer A
answer B
answer C
the problem is I need to be able to select which answer is correct ?
I'm trying to sort dates by the latest date when the query returns multiple IDs with different results. Ex.
ID1 1/1/2006
1/8/2006
ID2 1/2/2006
1/9/2006
In this example I would want ID1 with the date of 1/8/2006 and ID2 with the date of 1/9/2006 since they are the latest date. I will have many IDs that I need to run a query on that will all return the latest date. TIA
I have a sum query issue I am trying to work out and I have trouble trying to coordinate it.I am trying to build sum queries inside one select query that would allow me to sum point values in a separate table. The problem I am foreseeing is that I have three tables all connected with realationships. The structure with the fields is below:
Table1:
Test Case
Description
...
Table2:
Run
Description
test_case
...
Table3:
Task
Points
Group (Run)
Date1
Date2
Date3
...
Relationships:
Table1.Test_case-->Table2.test_case ( 1-many)
Table2.Run--> Table3.Group ( 1-many)
I want to be able to sum the total amount of points in a test case. Currently I am able to sum the number of points per run by doing a sum query on SUM(Table3.Points) in a select query that queries Table2 and Table3. But I try to do that with select query for Table1 and Table2 the query returns the same sum for all test cases. That sum is equal to the point total for the 1st entry in Table1.
Can I add a criteria somehow to make the sum work for each Test Case entry in Table1?
Also in regards to this same summing issue I spawned a second issue. I wanted to run a sum query on Table3 that would allow me to sum all the entries in that table that had valid entries in the Date1 field. I tried the following criteria.
Not IsNull([Date1])
The query came back with the same output as the above sum query.
What I am trying to accompolish essentially is the to get two sums out of the query. The first sum would be to sum all of the points totals for each Test Case. The other being able to sum point totals based of if a Date1 Field being filled in for each Task.
I am pretty sure I can do this in one query and just manipulate the data in the form of expressions and sum queries.
I am still searching through this forum for valid suggestions. But any thoughts will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have the following say;
tblProducts:
Name
Categories
Price
tblCategories:
Name
IDNumber
at the moment, no relationships built
tblProducts "categories" requires the IDNumbers of the categories in tblCategories - there are mutiple IDNumbers for each product, and they need to be seperated by a comma - for example ProductA has categoryIDs 1,3,6 (where categories 1,3,6 and called A,C,F)
At the moment, I am having to manually look up what each categoryID number is by CategoryName, and then type it in the tblProducts category field.
I want to have a form which provides the tblProduct "Name" and then a long list of all the tblCategory "Name" contents as option (or tick) boxes. So all cateory Names listed.
Then when I tick mutiple boxes on this form for the categories, it populates the tblProduct "Categories" field with the tblCategories "IDNumber" codes, with a comma between each one! (so the names chosen actually populates with the ID number)
So basically if on my form, ProductA has category A,C,F ticked -- so the field tblProduct "Categories" is "1,3,6" (where 1,3,6 are the category IDNumbers and A,C,F are category names)
In other words, I want to be able to choose the categories for my products by choosing the Category Name (rather than ID) but having the ID populated into the relevant field -- I can do this with a combo box displaying a different field to that thats populated....but this only allows one selection....
I want mutiple categories to be chosen (via the form with option/tix boxes), and thus to populate the relevant field with commas seperating.
Is this last bit possible?!!
How!
thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a table of users somthing like this:
User_ID
Name
Hobby
Favorite_Food
Blah
Blah
Blah
Users can be friends with one another and I need some way of logging this.
My 2 options (that i can see) are:
1) Putting a friends entry in the main user table then comma delimiting the User_ID's in the friend entry like so:
User_ID: 001
Name: John
Hobby: Frizbee
Favorite_Food: Cake
Friends: 002,004,010
2) Making a seperate table with multiple entries for each user like so:
User: 001
Friend 002
---
User: 001
Friend: 004
---
User: 001
Friend: 010
---
User: 002
Friend: 001
---
User: 004
Friend: 001
---
User: 010
Friend: 001
---
The database has to be handled by a web service and/or a web appliction making the comma delimited option occupy more server time breaking down the string into usable user_ID's.
But (and this is probably my actual problem) if i was to impliment my second idea, I'm not sure what I should make the tables primary key or the best way to relate it to the main user table.
My initial thought is to just have a, technicaly useless, ID be the primary key and impliment a one(User) to many(friends entries) relationship... but im a bit of an access n00b so thought i better come ask for some advice.
Thanks.
All,
I have database with user level security that works fine, but I have asked to place this database onto our secured network which means multiple users could have it open at any given time.
How can I setup this database to allow multiple users? I am very, very green at Access. Please don't say split the database...please! :eek:

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am trying to create a database that MULTIPLE users can log on and view the data.
Eg. I have a client list and have employed 5 ppl to call each one of my clients and confirm their details.
I have imported all the details into a table and just want users to simulataneously log on and click a "next record" button that will bring up the next "new" record with the details displayed on a form. of course the database will flag this record as "old" and which user called them.
Main thing is 5+ computers can connect to this database simultaneously and no record gets displayed more than once.
Can MS Access do this?
if it cant, would a vb front end located on each computer help?
Thanks for any suggestions!

or anything else?

What is the simplest way to track who is making a change to a record and when they made the change? I've tried searching for help but I'm not quite grasping how to do this. Any ideas?
View 13 Replies View RelatedHey guys,
I'm curious to know if it is possible to kick users off your db so you can make changes. Is it possible to send them a message to save and close within 30 seconds, or just send them a messgae. I guess I want to know whether I can
1) Kick a user off
2) Send them a message
3) Send a user a message and then kick them off
