Jan 10, 2014

General :: Split Database - Unable To Find Table Location

Mar 24, 2014

I'm having a problem with a database that i had split. While creating teh database, i had it stored on my personal drive at work, but wanted to move it to the shared drive so the data could be stored there. this is to deal with cross site network connectivity issues that we encountered with another database here at work.

When splitting the database, i split it on my personal drive and then dragged the back end to the common drive. I realized my error, but when attempting to correct it, i somehow have two of the same file, and no back end?

I receive the error on the attached document when attempting to access any of the tables or information in either of the files, the "back end" that i placed on teh drive, and the "front end" that i have on my personal drive.

I also tried to relink the tables through the linked table manager, but receive the same error when attempting that.

Is there a way to recover from this? I had backed up my file by making a copy prior to splitting, but somewhere in this process, this became linked to these and is having the same issue. Is there a way to recover the old "unsplit" version? I cannot copy over all of teh tables, etc. because i get the same error as earlier.

I can attach a copy of my database for reference...

Unable To Find Form That Is There

Jul 17, 2005

The main form in my database is giving me an error message to say "The form name is misspelled or refers to a form that doesn't exist" when I try to open it, despite the fact that I can see it there. If I try to change its name it says "save operation failed". Does anyone have any idea what this could be before I recreate the form?

Thanks very much for any help.

Unable To Find Solution On Query

Apr 29, 2008

I have unique situation not sure how to achieve this in Query.

For understanding I have attached mdb has following tables
'PR_RPT'
'SYS_RPT'
'TIME_RPT'
Final_PR_RPT

'PR_RPT' and 'TIME_RPT' has unique ID called as 'PTUNID', My Final goal is Final_PR_RPT.

I have created a Query1, which Look into 'PR_RPT' and 'TIME_RPT' and does a match on 'PTUNID' and populates all the 'SUM HR' Field Values from 'TIME RPT' table to matching 'PTUNID' in Column 'SUM HRS' similar to Final_PR_RPT,

In Addition to that what I am trying to do is

1- Look for PTUNID from PR_RPT to TIME_RPT if that doesnot match then
2- take Unmatching 'PTUNID', Look for which 'Project LEAD' owns the 'system ID' From 'SYS_RPT' Table then
3- Populate the unmatched 'PTUNID' 'SUM HRs' from 'TIME_RPT' Table against that 'Project LEAD' which Owns that unmatched system and has same ProjectID in PR_RPT in new column as Wrong SUM HR and WRONG SYS ID

Final_PR_RPT, shows how the result should stored.

I tried using IIF Statement but I believe I am not doing it right.


Thanks

Not A Valid Bookmark When Opening Database

Feb 6, 2008

Hi,

I tried to search the forums for an answer but I still can't seem to solve the problem.
I receive the "Not a valid bookmark" error message when attempting to open my database. I have tried the compact tool through access and also jetcomp but it just brings up the same error message on access and says "error compacting database" on jetcomp. Can anyone provide a solution to my problem in order that i can either open the database or else retrieve data from it?
Many thanks, any help appreciated
Jon.

I have attached the database in case you have any software which might be of use.

General :: Split Database With Not Valid Path

Nov 6, 2013

I am attempting to split an Access 2007 database. My company has two locations. From my location we are remote connecting into the server. While down there they are connecting directly. When I split the database, people in my location can use it fine. When people down there use it, they get a not valid path error.

This is because the network drives are mapped differently. I have been reading that the solution is to use the UNC for the back end file path.

Selling Access Database - How Do I Ensure User Has Valid License?

Feb 24, 2008

I am developing an Access database, and using the Access 2007 Developer Extensions to "compile" it into an installable program which includes the freely distributable Access 2007 RunTime, for users who don't have it already installed.

I am planning on charging a subscription fee to use my Access database. Are there any existing method for handling making sure the user's subscription is still active, and if not, either locking them our or preferably making everything read-only? If there aren't any existing methods anyone can point me to, does anyone have any ideas?

I plan on being the person who installs the application the first time, however I'm sure instances will come up where I instead mail the user a CD for them to install.

Regardless of whether I complete the first install, I'm not interested in going to each users' location periodically regarding the subscription.

I'm more interested in going the route of the user typing in some type of registration code, which is validated for read/write access for a period of time.

I don't want to rely on the user having an internet connection, but if they had one, I could certainly go the Microsoft model (try internet verification, if it goes wrong or there isn't a connection, have user call in.)

Queries :: Unable To Find Missing Sequential Numbers In A Text Field

May 5, 2013

I am trying to create a query to find missing sequential numbers in a text field. I am using this specific field as a case number which is designated as two letters, the # sign, two digits indicating the year, a dash, and then a four digit number; For Example: AB#13-1234.

The reason for this query is to tell the user of this database that a specific case number has yet to be entered and needs to be. The case numbers are unique and will never be referenced more than once.

My table name is "MainDataTbl" and the field i'm trying to find the missing case numbers is titled "CaseNumber".

Reports :: Database Engine Does Not Recognize Payment As Valid Field Name Or Expression

Feb 27, 2015

I have a small database for producing various financial reports, by date period (from/to). It works perfectly except when there are either no payment records or no receipt records for the chosen period. Naturally enough, MS Access comes up with the message "Database engine does not recognize 'payment' as a valid field name or expression" --- !!!

Is there some way I can tell MS Access that I don't mind if eg the payment column result is zero?

The structure of the table on which the report is based (via a crosstab query) is :

transaction date
auto number ID
transaction type (either payment or receipt, chosen by form's drop down box) - TEXT
amount - CURRENCY
receipt type - TEXT
payment type - TEXT
fundno - TEXT

The crosstab query design is as per the attached jpeg file

Modules & VBA :: Unable To Search A String Within Subform To Find Information Stored On Main Form

Dec 2, 2013

I'm trying to search a for string within a subform to find information stored on the mainform to which the particular subform belongs.

The problem is that the subform is generated from a query which uses a number from the main form to generate.

So the subform record is only generated when the correct mainform record associated with it is loaded.

Now to solve my problem I've made a new query that brings up ALL the results that could be generated by the main form and from that I can search to find my search term I'm after and read off the ID number to tie it back to the mainform.

But all of this is done manually, I want a way to do all this using VBA in a way that the user can't edit any records as they are doing it.

"The search key was not found in any Record"

"No current record"

I'm unable to import the form.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Unable To Compact Database

Mar 14, 2005

Hello All,

I have found myself with a big problem, One of my databases has managed to become rather large in size, 1,084,576kb

Unfortunatley i am unable to compact the database, as i get the following error on compact "record(s) can't be read; no read permission on L:database name"

The size of the database now seems to be the reason why reports and queries are failing,

I have tried "database utilities" Repair Database - and this has no affect.
I have also tried temporally removing some of the tables and queries into another database, but the Db size remains the same.

Does anyone have any ideas as i'm stumped? p.s. the database in running on ACCESS 97

Thanks and best regards

Aaron

Switchboard Not Available In Access Database

Aug 29, 2005

As a newcomer to Access programming I have just shot myself in the foot!
I unticked all the start-up boxes and the switchboard no longer appears. My database works fine (thanks to several articles in your amazing forums) but I don't know how to access the switchboard as I need to add a delete record button to a form.

Silly but true, I seem to remember that the switchboard can be unhidden by pressing a few keys?

I would be grateful if someone could spare a few seconds to advise.

Unable To Save Database Properties

Jan 4, 2008

Hi,
I have two possibly related things that have recently begun happening in nearly all of my databases. (Access 2002, Windows XP)

1. For years I have been using shortcut command lines like the following to open my databases:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp d:databasesPCAMain97sys.mdw m:pcamainpublicaccess2002frontendsvikchamaster setupwheel.mdb /excl

All of my databases use the same mdw file. Up until recently this command line has always prompted me for my login and password. Now, it doesn't. Not only that, but once I'm in the database, if I go to tools-security-workgroup adminstrator, the indication is that I am NOT joined to the PCAMain97sys.mdw workgroup that I requested.INstead I remain joined to whichever workgroup I was in before; it's like hte /wkrgrp command line option now has no effect.

2. From file-database properties, I try to change the title of the database. But I get error "..unable to save the database properties". Web search shows this is probably db corruption, but... on every one of my databases???

OK, upon reading what I just wrote, it seems likely that my mdw file is corrupted....? Any other ideas?

Unable To Delete Or Change Name Of Database

Jan 23, 2008

I have tried to rename or delete in MS Explorer, but this just creates confusion. The databases still show up in bits and pieses on various screens. I've purchased 2 additional how to do it books on MS Access 2007 and find nothing on deleting or renaming an entire database and all objects or references to it. Does anyone know the magic bullet?:confused:

Users Unable To Open Database

Feb 25, 2008

I have two databases that have been split, and both back ends are in a shared folder on the server that only a few people have authorization to access. One of the front ends is accessed off another shared folder, and the other is saved to each person's desktop. They have been up and running for months, and I've had no problems with users not being able to access data from the back end.

The other day, I requested access to this protected folder for four people, which was granted. But, since the time it was granted, neither database will open unless the user has authorization to access the protected folder. They get an error that says the database is already opened exclusively or they don't have authorization to view its data.

I've created another test db and split it into the same folder, but my users are getting the same error.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Mike

Unable To Import A Form From Another Database

May 31, 2006

I've posted this in the 'General' forum, but without success, so I'm trying here.

I have two databases. One is 'live', one is for development. Once I get something working in the latter, I manually import it into the former (File - Get External data - Import). This has been working fine for just over two months.

Today, however, i'm trying to import a form and get one of the following messages:

"The search key was not found in any Record"

"No current record"

I'm unable to import the form. I also get the same error messages if i try to copy and paste the form within its own database.

The form in question has a lot of lengthy code behind various combo boxes, text boxes, etc. When I attempt to look at this code (via right-clicking on a field and going to Properties and the Event tab), none of it is present any more.

What's going on? This form took weeks to get working and now it can't be copied, renamed or imported, plus it appears to have been 'wiped' of everything but the visual features.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Can one form become 'corrupt'? If so, please say that there's some way to remedy it?

Unable To Access Database Window.

Oct 2, 2004

I have a .mdb that opens up to a form (a splash screen I would assume). However, I can not access the form design view or even get the database window. I thought limiting access to design view was done with .mde, even then you have access to the database window. Any explanation on this or help??

Thanks
