:eek: I have a large table with 1 damn corrupted record, the database can't be repaird, compact, I can't use the copy ,method since the table is over 9000 record sets.
I tried creating a new table and appending the non-corrupted record into it with no success, it is keep locking on me.
Have you guys tried anything else that works for this situation???
Thanks a bucnh
Hi fellow Access battlers!
I've searched high and low on this forum on a step by step on how to do this and everyone's answer is either vague and assumes everyone is an access wizard, or really complex and codey and assumes every one is an access wizard!
I have a "lead sheet database" and I need to add a button on the form which emails just the contents of that current record. My company still handwrites these lead sheets and faxes them to consultants so I'm trying to bring them into the 21st century! An uphill struggle. I'm a code and VB newb by the way.
I've tried sending the form to a report as other posts suggest, but I get an error message about there being too many fields. So I'm stuck. All I need is for each form record to be emailed to a different consultant each day.
(I've had to rar then zip the database file due to size restrictions. I couldn't get the files size down enough by just zipping.)
Thankyou!
Hi all, apologies for the long post but this is a long nightmare!
Using A2k on Win2k...Due to roll out a DB today, just made my final tweaks and decided to compact/backup as have done many times before. It's not a split DB but it is secure so I copied the mdw onto my desktop and accessed it using a special compact shortcut which points to the desktop copy DB not the one on the network. When I compacted though Access went about it's business for a while and then threw up the dreaded "Network connection may be Lost" error message (roughly translates as "your database is nicely corrupt now") which I have had in the past when I tried to compact on the network. I've never had this error before compacting locally but anyway I tried again and same error message. I tried opening some forms and stuff and sure enought the DB was corrupt. No probs I thought, I can just go back to the original and start the process again. I used the normal shorcut to open the original DB just to check everything was ok and the same error message appeared with same problems. Minor panic ensued and I thought i'd got the shortcuts mixed up or something... I hadn't, Both DB's were affected.
Next option. Create a new DB and import all the objects. I did that and re-set all the permissions and the "Network Connection Lost" message dissapeared but some really strange things were happening. Forms opened but the buttons on them would do nothing. Then the forms Close button didn't work and the database wouldn't close.
I forced my way out of the DB and re-started my machine. Couldn't even log in to windows. Now at another machine and can log in to windows but DB is still having same problems. My instict tells me that the problem is something to do with the workgroup file becuase how else could compacting a copy corrupt the original? The only common link is the mdw.
Should I re-create the mdw and then try opening/importing the DB objects again? Or is there any way I can un-secure the DB and then re-secure it later?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Tom
Greetings everyone :)
I hope this hasn't been addressed too many times before, I searched for 'corruption' but there were so many results that I could only parse the first few pages.
Anyway, I'm developing a C# app for personal use and I was planning on using some MS Access functionality, namely saving and loading data from MDB files. Unfortunately, I've heard a lot of scary stuff regarding Access's tendency to corrupt MDB files. This is really bad news, as I really can't afford to lose any data - information is fed into the application daily, even hourly, and the data isn't stored anywhere else.
I could - and will - add some code to back up MDB files on every access, but I'm still curious. Given the circumstances listed below, how likely is Access to corrupt a MDB from time to time ?
- I am the sole user of the database. It is never, ever, accessed by more than one user at the same time. There is no networking involved whatsoever.
- The database contains only tables and maybe some forms. There are no constraints, stored queries, or any advanced features like that. The forms are never actually used by the program, they're just there to help in editing the database 'manually' should the need arise.
- The tables contain only basic data, i.e. INTs, VARCHARs and DATETIMEs. No memos, images or any such stuff.
- The database engine / system will not crash in the middle of a writing operation, or if it does, there will be a certified backup available.
- There are only two possible operations that the program can perform on the database: either a bulk read on each table, or a complete replacement of all of the records in all tables. There are no selective insertions or deletions.
What I want to avoid most is a 'silent' corruption, i.e. Access reports having saved the table successfully, but it has actually corrupted some records. It's not a problem to keep a backup for the duration of a writing operation (to cover the case in which the engine crashes during writing), but if I need to keep it for anything longer than that, the situation becomes rather cumbersome.
Well, thanks in advance for any replies :)
I am building a simplified re-order point system - if inventory position drops below a certain level (the yellow level is this case) one or more purchase order lines has to be created in another table.
I have one table with the following field and data:
ItemId Red Yellow Green Multiple Inventory position
0001 10 30 50 5 45
0002 5 40 47 5 23
0003 11 20 30 10 5
I would like to generate new records (in another table) based on the above fields and three records.Basically the end result should look as the following:
ItemId Qty Start inv Aggregated inventory Prioritization
0002 5 23 28 Yellow
0002 5 28 33 Yellow
0002 5 33 38 Yellow
0002 5 38 43 Green
0002 5 43 48 Green
0003 10 5 15 Red
0003 10 15 25 Yellow
0003 10 25 35 Green
The logic is quite simple - if inventory position is less than the yellow value new order lines should be created in multiple qty (based on the multiple field) until the aggregated value (in table 2) is above the green value.The priotization value should be based on the start inv (in tbl 2) compared to the values in red, yellow and green in tbl 1.
Hi,
On our main menu table, I only want to be able to add one record.
On the form that I have linked to this table, should you press the tab key to go through all the items / buttons, it opens a blank record screen. However, I do not want this. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I need to export/print every single record from table as a pdf file (one record one pdf file). how to do this.
I'm working on Access 2000.
Ok, here's the deal. I'm tired of fixing our gigantic table because of corrupt records in my firm's database. I find that the problem ordinarily comes up when someone opens the same record in two different forms (whether on the same computer or on a different machine) and both attempt to make changes. Is there a way (preferably simple) to just LOCK a record in a particular table to keep this from happening? I assume there has to be, but I've just never taken the time to find out. I'm not sure if this locking is done on the form level or somewhere in a table option or something.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a form with a button attached to each record that would allow the user to click the button and it would automatically open outlook and fill in the TO:, SUBJECT: and BODY: fields. Here is the code that I currently have:
Code:
Private Sub Command33_Click()
Dim strEmail As String
Dim strMsg As String
Dim oLook As Object
Dim oMail As Object
Set oLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set oMail = oLook.CreateItem(0)
[code]...
There are two issues I keep running into:
1. This code opens outlook and populates all of the fields but pastes the email incorrectly. Instead of pasting just the email (email@email.com) it pastes the html tags as well (email@email.com#mailto:email@email.com#) which means that the user would have to delete everything between the #'s in order to send the email every time.
2. I currently have the email BODY pulling from a table but this obviously limits what I can do. I would like to simply encode the BODY within the VBA code. The setup I am looking for is:
one paragraph
a blank line
a hyperlink to a website
a blank line
another paragraph
I have a question about Microsoft Access. I have 2 optiongroups, one of them has a combobox (type) with various opcodes. I want that when I choose one of these opcodes, the associated characteristics appear the other optiongroup. 2a optiongroup has a textbox for comments.
I have included an attachment to help you better understand my question.
Thank you.
I have tables Account (PK acctnum) and Orders (linked via acctnum to Account). There are multiple orders per account that need to be billed individually. When creating an invoice I need to add the Account to the Invoice table and the Orders to the InvoiceDetail table. I use 2 queries to accomplish this. The first one though adds multiple records to the invoice table (because of the one to many relationship). I need to keep that so I don't bill anyone with no orders.
INSERT INTO Invoices ( InvoiceDate, AcctNum )
SELECT DISTINCT Date() AS InvoiceDate, Account.AcctNum
FROM Account INNER JOIN [Order] ON Account.AcctNum = Order.AcctNum
WHERE (((Order.OrderNum)=[Forms]![Account]![Order].[Form]![OrderNum]) AND ((Account.BillingCycle)="on discharge") AND ((Order.EndDate) Is Not Null) AND ((Order.Closed)=Yes) AND ((Order.PatientName)=[Forms]![Account]![Order].[Form]![PatientName]));
Is there any way to get it to only add one record? I've tried limiting it with several parameters to no avail.
I want to "lock" a record in a table so that it is read only and cannot be accessed/edited/deleted. Is it possible to lock a single record in this way on a permanent basis? It's actually the first record in the table.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to copy a single record in a table and then paste this record a pre-defined number of times 10,20,30 depending on requirements. The reason I need to do this is that I want to set up a number of identical records that can easily be amended into unique records. This will vastly reduce the amount of work and time spent entering records individually.
The only way that I have been able to achieve this is to copy and transfer the master record into Excel, and then copy the row and paste it into a range of cells. Copy the range of cells back from Excel and then paste this range back into the Access table.
This works but is long winded; what I would like to know is is there a simply way of achieving this.
I have a query run that gives me a list of records that I view on a continuos form. What I want is to press a button and run a macro/Append Query to add a Single Summary record to another table.
For example my query spits out this data
Part # Quantity Serial Number
GO2 1 123
GO2 2 456
GO2 2 789
What I'm looking to get is
Part Number Total Quantity Serial Number 1 Serial Number 2 ..
GO2 5 123 456
I'm stuck on a couple of things.
1. Getting a new single row to append.
2. Getting Serial Numbers from several records to save on to a single record.
Does this sound like a corruption problem?
I added a new field to a table, and saved the table. When the table is reopened, the new field is not there! I thought perhaps I forgot to save the field, so I tried adding the field again. When saving, the error said, "cannot save; duplicate field name".
If I go to toolsoptions and click the "show system objects" the field will show up??
Do you think the best course of action is to import all the objects into a new db and try again?
Thanks for your help.

I have "Master" table with fields "Job No" and "Revision No". Both together is a primary key, so that combination of both cannot be duplicated. I have 100 other tables to be related with referential integrity(+update&delete) to Master for both fields. Apart from Job No and Revision No, all 100 tables have different set of fields which is why I had to come with so many tables.
Due to 32 limit rule, I had to come up with workaround method to have all 100 tables in the relationship. So, I created 5 other SubMaster1, SubMaster2, ...., SubMaster5 which are related to Master with relationship with referential integrity (+update&delete). Then I assigned 20 tables to each SubMaster so that 20 tables are related to each SubMaster table.
Whenever I create new record in Unit, the new record is generated in each SubMaster using update query for each SubMaster table. I have all the forms and necessary query laid out. The only missing part is being able to duplicate a record. I have limited knowledge in VBA, but I should be able to modify it to address to my requirement.
I want to copy a given record in Master, SubMasters and 100 tables as a new record. I need this feature so that I can select certain Job No and Revision No and copy that as a new Job No(assigned manually in a form) and 0 as the revision number. Possibly a button which will ask for new job number and copy everything from the active Job No and Revision No to a New Job No and "0" Revision No. The existing record may not be there on all 100 tables for the given Job No and Revision No. If it is there, then copy otherwise ignore for each of the tables.
I have a table "ItemList" which lists all the unique name of the 100 tables.
I have two datasets that I am using. They start off with similar information: sitename, siteprovince, sitecoordinates. They also have 5 more fields that have the same type of information. After that there are about 10 more fields with no overlap.
In the original dBase program they came from they were treated as one dataset.
The current structure I am using is Company, CompanyContact, Transaction, SiteDetails (the dataset I am asking about).
Is it better design to breakup the SiteDetails into SiteTypeA and SiteTypeB? I have everything working in one table, but I thought it might be more effecient to have two.
I have a table with 140 fields (I know, this is too many). I have a date field that intermittently will not allow data to be entered. There is a pattern to the data it will not accept, but it seems to only occur in certain records and what it will or will not allow seems different in each case. The error I get when I try to save a record is: The search key was not found in any record. I've isolated the error to the level of the table. Have tried compact/repair, removing the index on the field, deleting and recreating the field. Nothing works. Help! :confused:
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
To avoid the mind-numbing tedium of have to use make-table queries loads of times, is there a quick (probably VBA-related) way to split a large Access table, of about 350000 records, down into 93 smaller tables, based on a key code field that identifies each group of records e.g. GBW102, GBE999, etc?
Any help much appreciated.
thanks,

I currently have 8 tables in my Database.
How can i extract all the information in those tables and put all the data into one large table? I want to extract everything apart from one table?
and can I format the large table once the data have been put in i.e. insert new Columns at the start, and populate fields based on the value of other fields values?
Any ideas or help? thanks
Kind Regards
Richard
This really isn't a large table by Access standards, as it has only about 1 million records, but nevertheless it's taking a long time to run the update query. Here's the query:
UPDATE [Db] INNER JOIN [Small Table] ON [Large Table].text1=[Small Table].[text1] SET [Large Table].[text2] = [Small Table].[text2];
[Large Table] has about 1 million records and [Small Table] has 10 records.
I have a table with more than 700,000 records. There are no unique fields or unique combination of fields. I would like to add an AutoNumber field but when I try I get the message:
File sharing lock count exceeded. Increase MaxLocksPerFile registry entry.
If I answer yes I get an error that the new field was not added. Is there any way to add a key foield to an existing database?
I have a database with a table that contains 360,000 rows. I built a form with four boxes where a user can specify values to limit the result set. And instead of having a new window open with the results, I built a subform and placed it on the main form to display the results.
Here is how it flows:
Main Form -> user enters search criteria
Search Criteria -> feed as criteria in query
Query Results -> display on subform
Subform -> shows on main form
The query is setup to take the values from the main form and either use it if it's not null, or return all values if the field is null.
The problem I am having is that on opening the main form, Access is taking the four null values from the main form search fields, feeding them to the query, which is then feeding the subform. So 10 minutes later when the main form finally opens, I have 360K records displaying in my subform.
What I would like is to be able to open the main form instantly, specify my search criteria, then run the query, then have the query results populate the subform.
What do I need to do?
I am a newbie when it comes to Access and ASP but I am trying. I am in the need for some help.
I have a large table in Access 2003 and need to break it into smaller tables (not using a query) where the fields are the same except each of the smaller, new tables will hold info for a specific person. These smaller tables would need tro be linked to the larger.
Is there an easy way to do this? I need to keep it in tables due to the ASP software I use to generate the asp pages.
Is this possible?
My goal is for each user to be able to only view/edit their data and for the large table to reflect any changes made to the smaller table.
Thanks,
Dan
