View RepliesI was able to create a MDE database from .MDB file (1900 KB) using Access2000 but not on the other database (5000 KB)
I followed the steps (under tool -database utilities- make MDE file), the message box shown " Microsoft Access was unable to create a MDE database"
Is there any limit on the size of the file? What should i do or check?

I have created access2K application with 4 clients (forms+query+macro+reports) residing on workstations and database on server. I have created MDE of 3 frontends but unable to do so on one computer. When I goto Tools->Database Utilities->Make MDE File... (Disabled)
Its disabled I cannot continue so no error message. Any idea?

Unable to create MDE file WHY?????????????????????
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I click the Create MDE button I get the error message You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table 'MySysAccessStorage'.
I am a user who has been making some improvements to our database. Now that I want to test the improvements I need to create an mde, but can't.
The database was created in Access 2003 and I am now using Access 2007 on windows 2010. The original developer advised that we continue to use mde format - something to do with the runtime version everyone else who uses the database have.what I need to do to convert my mdb to an mde?
When trying to create an MDE using Access 2002 I get the message
"Microsoft Access was unable to create an MDE database"
The database is split and in Access 2002 format.
Could this be anything to do with References? I say this because I recently downloaded a dll for Redemption to make use of the SafeOutlook Library
Thanks

Before anybody says anything about it, no, my MS Access is not corrupt, and I don't need to reinstall, or update or anything like that.
Now, to the problem...... I have a union query that in essence ties 4 tables together. The query works great! Here's the issue...... When I try to create a data access page using the wizard, I get an error msg saying wizard was unable to create data access page. If I try to create in design view, I cannot view the fields of my union query to add to the data page.
I am including 2 databases..... the first one, called "union" contains the union query that will not work to create a data access page..... the second one, which is very similiar on the union query, just not as detailed does work. It is called "joined"
The only difference in these two union queries, is that I tried to include times for db"union", whereas for db"joined", I only calculated hours. I can make a data access page using the union query in db"joined", but not the union query in db"union"
Any ideas?
Hi,
I'm using A2003 to try and create an mde file but it is not playing ball. The mdb is compiling fine with no errors but when I click on "make mde file" and supply the path/filename, Access appears to try to open the mdb again and prompts me with a security warning saying that 'opening this type of file may be harmful.....etc'. The mde does not get created. Any ideas?
I am working with a sub-form where once a staff member enters there sub measure I would want to create a duplicate of that record. The problem I am having is that once you enter the sub-form and click the duplicate button it creates a duplicate of the record selected but overwrites the first record in the table. I want it to create a new SubMeasure Number which is the primary key and assigns the record the next available number.
Also if I try to add another record after one has been added I get runtime error "3021" - No current record. I would have to close the form and reopen for it to be able to add again.
I have attached the code below:
Private Sub cmdDuplicate_Click()Dim dbs As DAO.Database, Rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim F As Form
'Return Database variable pointing to current database
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set Rst = Me.RecordsetClone
[code]....
I am trying to create duplicate records from a main form frmManagers which has a subform frmSubMeasure. I have placed the duplicate button on the main form. It creates a duplicate of the main form data and gives me the option to add new record to the sub. I want the duplicate to be created on the sub form for me to just edit the scores.
I don't know how to pass the sub form data to be duplicated I thought the append query which I used would update the tblSubMeasure table which created the subform frmSubMeasure.
In the sub the append query do update the form with the new MeasureID from the mainform and the form is available to enter new data. I want the subform data to be duplicated as well
In the query I included all the fields from the tblSubMeasure table and this is appended to the same table tblSubMeasure and I place a tag on the MeasureID using "[Forms]![frmManagers].[Tag]"
Code:
Private Sub btnDuplicate_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database, Rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim F As Form
'Return Database variable pointing to current database.
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set Rst = Me.RecordsetClone

I want to create a main menu page for my database. I have tried the Navigation form and obviously I am doing something wrong....because the tabs won't open the forms. We have Access 2010 at work and I would like to create something similar to this:
Cardinal Rap - Main Menu
[button] Input Monthly data
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables for appropriation, expenditures and revenue, each with their own respective button
[button] Reports
This button would take me to another screen that would would list the reports available each with their own respective button
[button] Monthly reconciliations
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables necessary for my monthly reconciliations each with their own respective button that open that table.
The tabs in the Navigation form don't seem to do anything.
I have tried to create an MDE database and receive the message "Microsoft Access was unable to create an MDE database" I deleted all unnecessary tables, queries, forms and reports and still receive this message.
how to fix this problem in MsAccess 2003?
I am simply trying to create a command button to open a folder on my desktop
Cannot seem to find this code
This is the path to the folder I want to open

I want to save my report as excel file on the user computer with a click of a button. I have tried this code:
Private Sub Cmd_ReporttoExcel_Click()
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Gastrolog Report", acFormatXLS, "C:UsersXXDocuments" & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xls"
End Sub
But it is giving error 2282 - The format in which you are attempting to output the current object is not available.
The other part of this question is :
This is something similar when I didn't have "PDF add in " in access 2007, when I added PDF add in then option to save file in PDF was available in "output to" action of macro. There is nothing like excel add in. However when I can export the data in excel sheet by Export function in access why don't I have option to save file as excel in "output to " action in macro? I want to have this option so that user can click a button in the form rather than in the top ribbon try to find out how to transfer and save the excel sheet.
The file was converted from excel. It is in Datasheet view. I select the first column and clip on the Ascending choice under the Home Tab. It works but leaves a large gab of blank rows. I go to the Database Tools tab and check Compact and Repair Database. The file returns to the original unorganized list.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a database by compiling records from multiple excel sheets. however, since most of the clients still uses the excel sheets to enter records, I am thinking if it's possible to create a linked table in access from these excel sheets that are hosted on an online server.
also is it possible to merge multiple linked tables together? if they have the same field range, so they will append when the linked tables gets updated.
Hi,
I have found a few threads on here regarding creating MDE files but have found none stating this message...
I have been trying to create an MDE version of our Db but keep receiving the message "Complile Error in hidden module: Form_formname"
I thought I'd see if it was just that one form causing issues, so I deleted it! But now it's just moved onto another form!!
If anyone could shed some light on this I'd be most appreciated.
Thanks.

I use office 2003, first I had to convert my database, then I did the database splitting then, remove all menus from running at startup, I tried to create an mde file but it didn’t work.
This is what I got:
This error is usually associated with compiling a large database into an MDE file. Due to the method used to compile the database, a considerable number of TableID references are created for each table. The Microsoft Jet database engine version 4.0 can only create a maximum of 2048 open TableIDs at one time. Exporting a database as an MDE potentially can exceed this limit if the database has a large number of objects (table, macro, form, report, etc).
There is no accurate method to estimate the number of TableIDs the Jet database engine uses during the process of compiling a database as an MDE. However, each VBA module and each form uses one TableID, as a result, if the database has 500 forms, and each form's HasModule property is set to Yes, as many as 1,000 TableIDs are used.
So installed office XP and tried the same steps but still not working.
I am just having a heck of a time, in trying to make a custom help file.
Has anyone had any luck? I sure would like to see a sample database, showing a
custom help file. I just about tried everything, but not to smart about setting one up.
I have tried the wizzard as well. I know where I get hung up is, trying to map the help file,
to the Help ID number.
Any help would be appreceiated
I have tried to create an MDE file for my database but can't figure out why it will not let me. I can't don't think I am over the limit in open TableIDs. I have 76 Forms and 91 Tables.
I am setup with two databases - the database with the data is on the server. Is there any other alternative that I can do other than putting the mdb file directly on the client. And if not is there a way to stop the mdb file from constantly growing in size.
How I can create a log file in Access?

Hello,
I would like to know how to create an empty Excel file (from Access) ?
I would like to name the workbook (xxx.xls) name the sheets and give the folder where to store it.
Thanks in advance for help.

I created a help file in access that lets you have text mesasge up to 1024 chars. Just press F1 key on any control that you have setup to bring up help message.
Does any one see any problems with the way I did this?
Form
Help File: = ""
Help Context ID: = 0
For each control on the form where you would like to have a help message do the following.
Form
Control
Help Context ID: = Set to one of the help index numbers in the help table.
Add KeyDown Event to the control
Private Sub Text0_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
'Add this line
KeyCode = DisplayHelp(KeyCode, Me.ActiveControl.HelpContextId)
End Sub
module
Function DisplayHelp(KeyCode As Integer, HelpContextId As Integer) As Integer
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rstRecords As DAO.Recordset
If KeyCode = VBKeyF1 Then ' 112 = F1
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rstRecords = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT tlbHelp.Index, tlbHelp.HelpMessage " & _
"FROM tlbHelp WHERE (((tlbHelp.Index)=" & HelpContextId & "));")
With rstRecords
If .RecordCount > 0 Then
Call MsgBox(!HelpMessage, vbInformation, "Help")
End If
End With
DisplayHelp = 0 ' Clear KeyCode
rstRecords.Close
Set dbs = Nothing
Else
DisplayHelp = KeyCode
End If
End Function
Create Table and Fields
Table Name: tlbHelp
Field Name: Index as Number
Field Name: HelpMessage as Memo
Field Name: FieldName as Text
Field Name: FormName as Text
How type in custom number and message for each help message.
Hi there, we currently have a database that users write to through an excel form. Each time a user sumbits a record to the database we open a connection up with the below code, insert the record and then close it. This creates a ldb file for 1-3 seconds depending on how long it takes.
' OPEN DATABASE CONNECTION
Set dbConn = New ADODB.Connection
dbConn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
dbConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
dbConn.Open sConn
' INSERT RECORD THROUGH EXECUTE COMMAND
dbConn.Execute("INSERT INTO.... VALUES....")
' CLOSE CONNECTION
dbConn.Close
Is it possible to open the connection up without an ldb file being created so more than 1 user can insert a record into the database at the same time?
Thanks for your time,
Cheers
Tony
I have a main filing table and three look up tables (file cabinet, topic, and subtopic). In the three look up tables I have created short codes to identify the name of the field.
I want to create a main filing code that takes the codes from each lookup table and combines it into one field. If the location of the file changed I would need the code to change.
Example file cabinet location Rod 1 is R1, Accounting is AP; file topic Active Jobs is ACTJOB, Bank Transactions is BANKTR; subtopic Northeast Fire Station is NETCFS. For the file for the fire station the code would read R1ACTJOBNETCFS.
The form is set up as a cascading combo.
The only purpose for this field is to allow me to do a mail merge to create labels so that I can re-file folders easier without having to go into the database and look up the locations.
I don't know if I should create the expression in the form or if I should do something in the table field.
Suggestions?
Is there a relatively easy way to output the results of a query to an XML file?
I have the file writer set up more or less:
Code: Dim intFn As Integer Dim strFilePath As String Dim strOutBuf As String strFilePath = "c: emp est.xml" intFn = FreeFile Open strFilePath For Binary Access Write As #intFn strOutBuf = "<?xml version=" & Chr(34) & "1.0" & Chr(34) & " standalone=" _ & Chr(34) & "yes" & Chr(34) & "?>" & vbCrLf strOutBuf = strOutBuf & "<file>" & vbCrLf 'DO FOR EACH LOOP HERE strOutBuf = strOutBuf & "</file>" Put #intFn, , strOutBuf Close #intFn
If this were a C or JAVA application, I would just write a "for each" statement similar to as follows:
Code:For Each (Row in Query){ strOutBuf = strOutBuf & "<entry>" & vbCrLf For Each (Field in Row){ strOutBuf = strOutBuf & "<" & (Column Name) & ">" & (Value) _ & "</" & (Column Name) + ">" & vbCrLf } strOutBuf = strOutBuf & "</entry>" & vbCrLf}
What commands would I use in Access to get each separate row in a query? And then to get each field in that row? And how about the column names for the XML tags?
Thank you for your help.
