Access2000 Won't Open As A Multisuer Database
Jul 24, 2006
The Access2000 database is on a server located on our office network. Our office has a mixture of WindowsXP and Windows2000 as the operating system. We are using Novell Netware for the office network. I am wondering if the Novell Network is "confusing" Access???
The check box option to open Access2000 as a multiuser database is
checked. Also "No locks" is checked. When the database is opened we
get the "LBD" file with "access.lockfile.9". When I look at this file,
I see my name and the word "Admin", which seems normal. However, if
another user attempts to open the database, they can't and they get a
message that another user is using the program.
According to Micorsoft, Access must be in a shared directory. Since
everyone can read/write/create/delete to the directory it appears "shared".
Nevertheless, is it possible that the Novell Network has a conflict
which prevents Access from being shared?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I took the database home (to my home network) and had limited sharing success. First, the folder that access is in must be fully labeled as shared, read/write privileges by themselves don't seem to allow multiuser access. Second, after closing the database, I would get a "can't find" the database message from windows explorer even though the file was visible.

...not too much in the archives on this one, so any help appreciated...
We have an Access97 MDE with a split backend that is shared over a network.
Most of our users have WinNT installed and the Access application works fine. We have a user who has Win2K and Office2k and every time this person tried to launch the Access97 app, he receives the following error:
The database that you are trying to open or convert is currently in use, or you do not have permission to open it exclusively.
I have checked the Security Permissions for that user and he actually has full rights (Admin) for the Network folder.
Anyone else experienced this ?

My organization recently upgraded from Office97 to Office2000. A database that we had on 97 is giving us errors when we try to run it under 2000. I have been able to fix some of the errors. This one has me stumped.
I'm getting an error 13; type mismatch and it is calling out this line:
Set Mydb = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).Databases(0)
Any help is greatly appreciated. This is the complete function:

I am working on a report in Access2000 which is getting information from several tables via a number of queries.
I am using nested IIf() functions to combine text formatted data in a calculated query field before using it in a report.
One such IIf() function is
Desc_col: IIf([HOVR - UDP].[SERVICE] Is Not Null,[DA] & " " & [SEQ] & " " & [TYPE] & [MO] & " " & [SUB] & " - " & [HOVR - UDP].[SERVICE],
IIf([MinOfCCT] Is Not Null,"I/O DIST CAB " & [UDP - JC CIRCUITS-05-F].[PWR] & " - CCTS " & [MinOfCCT] & " thru " & [MaxOfCCT],IIf([DESCRIPTIO] Is Not Null,[DESCRIPTIO],"Spare")))
When I have tried to do the same thing with date fields it does not work. The function is fine as long as it is not nested.
That is
Rev_col: IIf([Rev_HOVR] Is Not Null,[Rev_HOVR],"")
and
Rev_col: IIf([Rev_Elec_equip] Is Not Null,[Rev_Elec_equip],"")
both work.
But when I combine them into a nested function
Rev_col: IIf([Rev_HOVR] Is Not Null,[Rev_HOVR],IIf([Rev_Elec_equip] Is Not Null,[Rev_Elec_equip],""))
I get an error message "! Data type mismatch in criterial expression"
There is no data mismatch in the original tables from which the information was extracted. The dates are all in DATE/TIME and set to "General"format in the tables.
I am wondering if I will have to use Visual Basic function to combine these fields. However that poses a problem. When I've looked at this I find that runtime VB is no longer available in Access and I do not want to go out and buy it on the offchance that it will work.
Can anyone tell me if there is another solution to my problem?

Is there a good replacement for the use of local forms in an Access database? We have a large A97 replicated database application that we are trying to update. We use local forms for data output. Since these are no longer available we are looking for a workaround.
many thanks

Hi,
I want a user to click the report, and an input box appears asking for a product number. This product number is used in a recordset (VBA code in the report) to fill the text boxes in the Detail section.
Code:Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)Dim rst As DAO.RecordsetDim db As DAO.DatabaseDim itemCode As StringSet db = CurrentDb()itemCode = InputBox("Enter the Item Number", "Complete Catlog Prices")Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM [Catalog Prices Complete] WHERE Prefixprodno = '" & itemCode & "'", dbOpenDynaset)Do Until rst.EOF Me!txtCat = rst("Volume") 'error 02448 cannot assign to this 'Me!txtPrice = rst("Price") rst.MoveNextLooprst.CloseEnd Sub
I'm sure my text box is called txtCat though. Is it an array I should try to fill? If so, any suggestions :S
Thanks,

Hi,
I've run across a couple issues with our database. The most immediate issue is that I have been unable to open the database on any networked (or non-networked) computer. Me and a assistant typically enter data into this database from two seperate computers. She works on a wireless networked computer with the file on my computers hard drive. I work directly with the file. My computer is wired to the router. (in case that information helps)
We keep getting errors about "cannot access remote computer" and such, they seem to occur when she's entering data and I have the database open, then close Access. It will often give her the error and not allow her to save the record.
But just today she entered something, I closed my database window, then reopened it and I could not get in. All network computers rebooted, and still cannot get into the file. I can enter the password and then it goes to just a blank area (like when your first open access with no database). Older backup versions of the database still work, so it doesn't seem like an Access error. I also noticed that the little "LockFile"s are not being created (I ever faked one just to try it out and it deleted it after i entered the database password)
I can't repair, or convert or anything, it just asks for the password, I give it...and then nothing.
I'm very lost. Thanks for any help.

I have problem once each day when I open Access for the first time. I get an error message "Microsoft Access has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.". It asks for a file name and insists on compacting (I think) and saving the database. I go through this several times saving it under a diferent name each time until I get the warning "Security warning Some active content has been disabled. Click for details." with a button to disable it.

Hello. I haven't seen this before with Access; I've searched the forum and haven't found anything yet...
I have an Access database that was being used by about 9 different people. Everything was going along okay, but one day it became read-only for no reason. Once everyone got out of the DB it said it needed repairing. So with only one person in I ran the repair, but the horror-inducing message "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." appears and when I click "OK" on the message nothing happens whatsoever.
Luckily backups existed, but some data was lost. Is there anyway to run a repair on the database that won't open? Or is it a lost cause?
Thank you! :D

We've got a client that runs two access 97 based databases on their network. up until recently both databases worked
fine on all workstations (all XP Pro).
About 3 weeks ago they called me to report that one of the databases would not load on 3 workstations. It opened
fine on all the others. I checked out the permissions on the database (which is stored centrally on the server) and
everyone had full control.
Within the last week they have added two new xp pro workstations to the domain - neither of which can access the
database in question. they can access the other database no problem - as can all the other workstations.
The occurs as follows:
1. Double click on the icon for the database
2. access 97 loads but does not load the database's interface - instead it opens an empty version of access (with
file menu etc at the top)
3. no specific error messages at all.
4. close access and the standard xp program crash message appears (see screenshots below)
As mentioned above, other workstations can open the database fine.
the only thing that has changed on the network is the installation of some server and workstation based production
software - we have not yet consulted with the company that installed this - we felt that if it was this software
causing the problem then all workstations would be suffering. we wil have to consult with them once we've exhausted
all the possibilities.
Thanks in advance for any advice

I am getting the following Error:
"This database is in an unexpected state; Microsoft access cannot open it.
"This database has been converted from a prior version of Microsoft access by using the DAO CompactDatabase method instead of the Convert Database command on the tools menu. This has left the database in a partially converted state.
"If you have a copy of the database in its original format, use the convert database command on the tools menu to convert it. If the original database is no longer available, create a new database and import your tables and queries to preserve your data. Your other database objects can't be recovered."
The database is on the server. Nothing was changed. Someone in our IT department says they simply opened it and then closed it. I think that they had their access program set to compact and repair on close.
I have tried to import the tables but am gettting the same errors.
I have the original database but it is an old backup that is missing data.
Can someone HELP

I have copied a work database onto my flash drive and then onto my laptop to do some work in it.
Now I can not open the database because it has the error message.
You do not have the necessary permissions to use the database etc...
I have copied the Application file, the Data file and the Workgroup information file and the only one I can open is Workgroup information file. I have tried holding the shift key down as well.
Any suggestions as I have heaps of work to do and I have tomorrow away from work to do it.

Hi,
I created the database, which shared by multi-user. But, my user have a problem to open it. When user1 open the database, user2 cannot open it, I did not remember the error message, it is said that Admin (computer name) prevent you to open the database. But, if the user1 switch another application program (the database file is still opened), user2 can open the database, then both users can access the same database file.
Why do we have this problem? How can I fix it?

I have a user who is having trouble opening a database he created. Here is his description.
I am having an issue with Access that has occurred today and once several weeks ago.
First, I build a complex database for Safeway report. It functions correctly, I can access it from excel.
Problem, I go to update or modify the databases, Access gives me the macro message which I override.
The access database window will not open, no error appears, just a blank access screen with tool bars above.
I have tempted to do a compact and repair of the database which did not help.
Microsoft Online help says the issue can be cause by old Anti Virus Software.
The database will permit excel to pull data from it.
Does anybody have an answer.

Is it possible to open a database from a form in a different database? Not necessary to do so; it would just be handy to do from the form I already have up and looking at rather than having to go open another instance of access and go to that database.
