Workgroups And Converting 97 To 2k+

May 30, 2007

I have a problem converting access 97 mdb files into access 2000. There are multiple access databases that use a mdw workgroup on a network drive. I do have the ability to log on as an admin. Access 2000 is not letting me convert the files to the new format (telling me I don't have permission). The databases do have lots of forms, queries, macros and such.

Would the easiest method be to remove the userlevel security or is it possible to get around that? If I were to remove the user level security is it as simple as loggin in as admin, deleting all user account, granting all permissions to users and admin and removing the password?

Any help is much appreciated.

Access Workgroups & ASP

Jun 12, 2005

Hi!

I wondered if it is possible to create different workgroups for my access database and then connect to them from my asp webiste.

My database and website are hosted by an ISP.

I'd like to setup three work groups, one for people browsing my website that allows read/add records, one for me to manage the content that allows read/add/delete/update records and an admin account to manage the passwords etc of the other two.

Can anyone help me out?

Passwords Or Creating Workgroups

Mar 31, 2008

I have developed an MSAccess Database on my Workstation with an authorized MSAccess License, and I need now to share this Database with other people from your company that do have MSAccess license as well.

I also need to secure my Database with access, read, modify and delete options because only one user knows how to run simple queries and create basic tables but the others only know how to enter data and analyse the info with Excel.

From what I understand, I am the admin and they are the users.

Question 1: Is it possible to unset the "Exclusive mode" to allow the users to enter data at the same time the Admin does?

Question 2: Is there another way to limit the access and define permissions other than with Workgroup - Workgroup Administrator does not seem to be user friendly. Would it be better to create a switchboard?

Question 3: Is there a site where I can get detailed instructions (courses) on Workgroup settings?

Thanks a zillion.

Converting From XP To 2003

Dec 3, 2005

I have a dbase that was created in access XP. We are in the process of upgrading to office 2003. For the most part the database works fine. However, I have 1 form that has a few fields that have conditional formatting
on them and when the form opens those fields flash very fast continuously all most like the tab key is being held down. No matter what I do I can't get it to stop. Has anyone seen anything like this and how do I make it stop?

Error Converting To MDE.

Jun 1, 2006

This is the error i get...

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.
More information about this error message online.

My database is by no means big, is there any other way i can convert from mdb to mde?

Thanks

Converting Backwards?

Jan 2, 2007

Hi.
For years several agencies have used a database written and maintained in Access 97.
One adminstartor has both 97 and 200 on his computer and no problem. Until now, that is.
When I try copying a revised front end, and opening it, I get 'unrecogized database format' message.
My hunch i sthat said administartor accidentally opned the basck end with 2000 and converted it.

So, can the back end be unconveted/reverted back to 97?
Any other suggestions?

Converting To Standalone

Jun 17, 2007

Hi All

I am currently compiling an Access DB to manage my work in progress, Payments due etc.

The DB is starting to work well and have requests from fellow contractors to purchase a copy (there are over 400 subcontractors in the group), with this in mind I have decided that when I complete the DB I will take it to a proffessional programmer and have it converted to a fully standalone programm.

My question: Is there a programm format that is preferable or would C# be the best option or is there a product out there that I could purchase and use.

Thanks in Advance

Converting A TXT To ACCESS

Sep 7, 2007

Hello,

I'm trying to get a way to creat a database of my phone messages (SMS).
I have them on a .txt file and I would like to create on ACCESS (or other program) the fields "Date:" "From:" "Message:", etc.
So, everytime I introduce a day, all sms sended on that day appears, or, when I introduce a Name, every message from that person, appear.
Is that possible? Of course that I want to convert it, not introduce one bye one because I have around 2000 messages...

Thank you very much

This is a example of the .txt file I have:

Converting Minutes

Oct 12, 2004

I have time sheets from the past I need to enter but have found that some years the time punch minutes are given as if an hour equals 100 minutes not 60. Other years the minutes are given correctly. How do I format this field so that if I type 3.75 it will convert to 3.45 hours? Will I have to add another field to enter this and then convert to my field where hours and minutes are correctly entered? :confused:

Converting Iif To Case

Oct 10, 2006

Hi here is the original code

MAX(IIf([Book]='C',[Score]," ")) AS CScore,
Max(IIf([Book]='C',[PercentileScore]," ")) AS CPercent,
Max(IIf([Book]='C',[PassFail]," ")) AS C,
Max(IIf([Book]='D',[Score]," ")) AS DScore,
Max(IIf([Book]='D',[PercentileScore]," ")) AS DPercent,
Here is what I thought may work, but it seems like there should be an easier way
Case when Max ([Book]) = 'C' then [Score] else null as CScore,
Case when Max([Book]) = 'C' then [PercentileScore] else Null as CPercent,
Case when Max ([Book]) = 'C' then [Passfail] else Null as C,
Case when Max([Book]) = 'D' then [Score] else Null as Dscore,
Case when Max ([book]) = 'D' then [PercentileScore] eslse Null as DPercent,

Thanks

Converting Null Value To $0.00

Mar 3, 2008

Hi All,

I have a table that has fields that captures dollar amounts. I have these fields set to a default value of "0".

The tables are updated via a query that imports a csv file. Once the import process has finished, my table has blank values in some of the fields that capture dollar amounts.

If a field populated by the csv file is left blank, I would like for the field to show $0.00.

How would you recommend handling this?

Converting MDB To MDE Gives Error.

Jul 28, 2005

When trying to convert my MDB database to and MDE database I get the following error pop-up...

The error message help is useless but I include it here for what its worth...

Converting # To Autonumber

May 2, 2006

I imported data from excel. The PO#'s are a number field and I would like to switch to a autonumber.

Can I get the numbers to continue counting based on my previous entries.

Currently I have PO from 150-2500. I would like the next entry to autonumber to 2501.

Let me know if this can be done. Access says you can't in 2003.

Thanks

Converting Omniform To Access

Oct 10, 2005

Hi, all!

I have been informed by an off-site program of ours (out of state) that they need to convert an Omniform application to Access.

I did an initial search on the web on Omniform but I really don't know anything about it.

Has anyone every converted an Omniform application to Access? Is this something that can be done in an automated way or would the Access db need to be made from scratch?

Thanks!

Paul
