Turn Off Db Remotely
Dec 11, 2007
I have a multi-user db. There are actually 3 computers all on a windows network that access the db, which is located on my hard drive. The computers are in different offices.
I've asked the users to please close the db when they are leaving for the day - so that it does not remain open - and lock me out of design mode. But they sometimes forget and leave the db open.
When I come in in the morning (I'm the first one here) I sometimes have to walk to their offices and close the db manually.
Is there any way to close the app from my computer - so that all instances of the db are closed? Perhaps even a button somewhere with vba code that would do it?

Hi
Can anyone help me please
I have a client database which is linked to website is there is anyway that the database can be linked remotely.
eg if one of the company staff is on the road and want to access the database to view and see what kind of info has been stored in there.
So that they can access the database remotely once its on the server.
How do you make it possible for this to happen or is there some VB programming need to be done to make this possible
What must be done to make this happen?
I hope this is clear
Cheers.

I have a form in which job times for individuals is entered. As the data is entered, a macro fires to calculate various costs (Nat Ins/Pension/Total cost etc etc), and that data is stored in a table.
I now have written code to enable the inputting of the data into the database directly from the Excel sheet in which the data is first entered - this is great as it cuts out a data entry repeat and will be a big big time saver.

Hi, I have a query with a 'many to one' join from a table of selected part numbers I want to look at which includes new part numbers with no current order numbers, to a master order table with all order numbers raised against all part numbers. The query returns null values for the new part numbers with no orders. This is what I want to see and the order numbers are stored as text.
I have converted these to numbers using CLng as I need use them in caluculations that only require adding or subtracting - (no DIV#0 issues). However, the nulls are returning '#Error' in the calculated fields which creates a type mismatch issue when filtering or setting other criteria. All fields used in the calculations are numeric.
I do not really have any knowledge of SQL, but is there a way to make the '#Error' values show as zero or something else I could work with.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I've had a search and can't find anything along these lines...
I've got some code which plays about with reports and it looks awful when it's running - is there an equivalent of Excel's "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" functionality in Access (2000)?

Hi Guys,
I'm not sure this would be allowed as it could be maliciously abused, but what I want to do is turn of warnings when a user fires up my DB.
What currently happens is a user gets 3 pop up warnings in a row the first time they use the DB with essentially the same warnings and "do you want to run this" questions.
The next time the user runs the DB they only get one warning.
On another thread I was told how to turn warnings on and off within the database:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=499732#post499732
'Turn warnings on & Hourglass on
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.Hourglass True
Code in routine that would generate warnings goes here.
'Turn warnings on & Hourglass off
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
DoCmd.Hourglass False
What I would like is some way to replicate the functionality for the DB. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Keith.

I have made two main menus, one for admin and one for users, I want to turn these into switchboards. When you open a form asking you to log in opens if you supply the right password it opens another form depending on your access rights depends which menu it opens, it all works perfectly but I want a home button, i.e. close all open forms, which would close the main menu, so I need to turn the main menus into switchboards, I have tried searching this place and I have also tried google although I may aswell have stuck my head out an open window and shouted for help!
Any way any help much appreciated
Regards

OK, usually I can figure these things out for myself, but I'm realy stuck on this one and any help would be appreciated
background: I work in a small scale pilot production line, and we take a series of measurements for every part that we make, each of which has a unique ID. Sometimes we need to take the measurements more than once, so that the data output from the measurement system (which it can append straight to an access table) has a part ID and a measurement number, the combination of which is unique (for reasons that I won't go into it is not possible to combine them into a single field, otherwise we would do this)
problem: The measurement system can be temperamental and sometimes sends the same record more than once, and It is horribly time consuming to go through and check manually
It occured to me that we could send the measurements to table1 (where they would be stored temporarily), and write a sub to go through each record in table1 in turn, compare the part ID and measurement number to the records stored in table2 (where they would be stored permanently), and append the record to table2 only if the part ID and measurement number combo has not already been taken, before moving onto the next record in table1 and doing the same thing
The part I just can't figure out is how to go through the records in turn and compare them, I can do the append and deletion using SQL, that's not a problem.
if anyone can point in the right direction I'd be realy grateful (or tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree completely)
regards
Bogzla

Is it possible enable and disable a usb port via vba?
An example of using this would be if I had a light plugged in a usb port and the code would turn it on and off.
Or maybe is there s some device like <PC-Some Device-USB light > which can be controled by vba

Is there some way to make subdatashheets default to remove/off?

How to turn on double-sided printing through code but I actually have the opposite problem and I can't find any solutions that have worked.
In order to be as green as possible, our printers are set up for duplex printing.
I have an Access 2010 database that creates discipline notices. This report, no matter what I try, will not print multiple notices on separate pieces of paper. Because they are discipline notices and are handed out to the associates, they must print on separate papers to maintain confidentiality.

Whenever I double-click a graph in a form that is being viewed it opens up MS Graph in edit form. This is confusing/ugly/etc and I don't want it to do that.
I tried adding some code to the double click event to make it do some other action (bringing up some graph modification tools I created), but as soon as those are closed MS Graph will then open up in edit form.
How to turn this off? It's incredibly unprofessional.

I have a report that in the Detail section on Format will change a record to a certain color based a criteria. (See VBA code below). I would like to put a text box control in the report footer to count the number of records that turn a certain color, this is what I have so far for the text box control -
=Count(IIf([PO Date]=RGB(0,255,255),True,Null)).
It returns a zero.
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
'Set the backstyle to normal (default is usually transparent)
Late_Ship.BackStyle = 1
If [Po Date] > ([Order Date] + 2) Then
PO_Date.BackColor = RGB(0, 255, 255)
[Code] ....
