Database Stuck On Opening

Jul 16, 2005

The problem: I have my database set to open a form on start-up. On opening that form I put in a command for a message box. When I click OK on the message box it tries to open the form again which leads to the same message box. I need to somehow get to the design view on start-up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bob

Database Not Opening

Sep 27, 2005

Hello,

I have been working on a database back and forth and home and at work. Today I saved my database from home and onto my computer at work. The database is not opening here at work. It works fine at home. When I attempt to open it, it tells me Access has encountered a problem and needs to close and it closes.

I tried the Compact and Repair.. Access still shuts down on me. I made a new empted database and tried to import the tables and forms into it.. Access still shuts down on me.

It's getting frustrating because I've been trying to get this working for 3 hours now with no success.

Opening A Database?

Aug 9, 2006

Here's a little problem I have and wondered if anyone knows a way around it.

I currently have many databases that I have created for work and they are quite happy running away doing what they are meant to do on a 2000/NT setup, we will soon be switching to our parent company's network 2003/XP/Citrix which is presenting me with the following problem and we do not have any control over how this is run.

We can no longer create desktop shortcuts to the databases as current, they will place 1 database in the start menu and would like this to be used as the database menu so that all databases are launched from this.

So I am trying to launch access databases from within an access database (Access XP), here's what I have tried so far

Shell - works when I use full MS Access but does not work in Run Time versio n which is what the users will access, shows no error, it just beeps and does nothing.

SendKeys - %fo<FileName>.mdb~ - again works in full access but not in Run Time as RT does not have 'open' in the file menu.

FollowHyperlink - this actually works but I can not get this to open the new database as a full screen window, this requires the user to either run everything maximized (not ideal as some forms are designed to run side by side) or for them to resize the main forms.

Are there any other ways to open a database from within access RT version that will open the access application full screen?

.MDE Database Not Opening

Dec 15, 2004

A ex-coworker created a .mde database, but didn't save the .mdb version. The .mde version has been working fine, but today it closed when the end-users tried to open it. It looks like it tried to open the start up form, but it closed. I was able to get into the database and launch the second form, but the start-up is the issue. What could cause the start-up form to keep the database from opening?

Error When Opening Database

Aug 8, 2006

Good afternoon,

When I'm trying to open a back end database which was previously created is MS Access 97 it gives me the following error;

Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.

I have tried running the "Compact/Repair Function of MS Access 97 and MS Access 2003 to no avail.

I have tried converting the back-end to Access 2003 as well but I still get the same error message. I can link to the database tables from an Access 2003 database fine with no error message!!

Has anyone got any suggestions before I have to take it offline and rebuild the back-end and then copy the data across from the old one?!!!

Problems Opening Database

Hello,

I have a wierd problem I am hoping someone can help me with. Our company database is stored on the server.

The problem is that I can open it when no one is in at and then they can all get in after I open it.

If everyone else is in it, I cannot access it at all until they close out, I open the file and then they can get back in.

Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

Thanks,

Database Window Not Opening

Dec 13, 2006

I have a weird problem with one of my databases. Out of a sudden, when I wanted to open that database the databse window did not show up anymore. With this I can not access my forms, tables etc. any longer. However, when I click on View->Databaseobjects and choose e.g Forms than I can click on the code icon and I can access my code as well as the corresponing form in the design view. I can not access the tables but when I click on the "show fields" in the design view the list of fileds is showing for the corresponding form.

I tried that database on 3 different PC's with the same effect.

Does anybody have an idea what could have caused that the database window is not showing anymore and/or how could I bring that window back.

Thanks for any help and advice

Opening The Current Database

Jul 10, 2007

I am creating an order processing system and am using 2 tables

OrderHeader
OrderLines

The OrderHeader table includes the number of orderlines on the order.

I want to ensure that when a user completes the order lines they don't up in a line number greater than the number of lines and want to programatically get the number of lines from the order header table.

The form links to the ID of the order header table by using a combo box, which works fine and I can even display the number of order lines in the combo box.

I don't know how to use an ADODB recordset to query the current database.

I can't use something like :
objConnection.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:filesdatabase.mdb"

which i see all over the place, because I don't know where on the PC this will be running on it will be stored.

There must be a simple way to find out a value from a field within a recordset of the current application database?

Any ideas?

Automatic Alert When Opening Database

Aug 25, 2006

I am hoping someone out there will be able to help me figure this one out! I have a database I just created which houses approximately data on about 500 physicians/practitioners - from their personal info to information regarding their licensures, liability coverage, and DEA. In order for us to be compliant with administration and government criteria we have to monitor expirations of their license, liability, DEA, and other things. We do this by sending letters/e-mails out 30 days in advance of expiration dates (which is a field in my database). What would really be great if when I bring up my database it would automatically give me a pop-up saying these licensures are expiring in 30 days and send out reminders. I am a rather new user to Access but I do recall a few years ago hearing something about databases that have crystal reports??? I am not sure if that is the same thing or not.
I do have parameter queries set up from date to date but it sure would be impressive if I could get it to do the above. Or maybe another way to do this. Any suggestions????????? CMElady in :confused: distress!!!
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 :: Getting Rid Of Password On Opening All Database

Jul 11, 2014

I was exploring using User-level permissions on databases so I, the admin, can have full permissions to edit/change etc. the database and certain users can only add/edit data. But I inadvertently have now set Access to ask me for a password for any db I open. Even if it's my own personal one. Can I set up Access to only ask for login info on certain db's, not all. I know that 2010 did away with User and group level permissions but was able to add it back through customizing the ribbon and adding this feature back to it.

Opening Recordsets With Split Database

Apr 21, 2012

I'm trying to create a log in form for my database using a tutorial I found here. [URL] ..... I got it working fine, but when I split my database into a front end and back end file I could no longer retrieve the record set for this code. I receive the error "Item not found in this collection" on the highlighted line of code below. I'm at a loss as to how I would retrieve the record set with a split end database. The code used in the log on button is below:

Private Sub submitButton_Click()
Dim dbs As Database
Dim rstUserPwd As Recordset
Dim bFoundMatch As Boolean
Set dbs = CurrentDb

[Code] .....

Macro Security Warning When Opening Database

May 15, 2006

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anybody knew a way to disable the security warning in Access that pops up saying "This file may not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer. Do you want to open this file or cancel the operation?"

If possible, I'd like to disable the message for just my database, but we currently don't use any other database anyway, so I'm not too concerned with turning it off completely if that's all I can do. I'm sure there has to be an option somewhere to not check for macros or something, but I can't find it.

If anyone knows how to do this or if you know that it is not possible, please let me know.

Thanks,
Sean

Trouble Opening Database For Multiple Users.

May 22, 2006

We have an access Database stored on a server that until now was only ever accessed by the one user. Now more users need to access it at the same time. However when a second user trys to open the database the error message "File Already in use appears". I did not create this database so have no idea how it was set up. I think it may have something to do with being opened up exclusively. Is there anyway around this by creating a short cut or changing any kind of propertties?

Citrix, Opening A Database, Incurs Delay?

Jun 13, 2006

Hi Guys,

Got something which has been bugging me like mad for weeks now;

We have a MS Access Database on a Citrix server and a local copy is downloaded to the clients directory when they log on.

When they actually double click and load the database(frontend) it loads for approx 4/5mins before it eventually opens. After that it is fine, unless they log off and back on again, then the same thing happens when they double click to open the database.

The Backend is stored on a seperate server with over 5million records on it.

Before we attempted Citrix we had a normal network and the frontend has always loaded fine on this.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Major Prooblem Opening Access Database!!!!

Jul 12, 2006

I recently found a need to pass a message on to everyone that opened a certain access database. So in I thought the easiest way of doing this would be to use the startup page & macro on the Northwinds Sample Database that comes with access.

However, I kept getting an error because the ok button was pointing the main switchboard which doesnt exist on my database, so I tried deleting the following to see if it would sort the problem: -

' Closes Startup form.
' Used in OnClick property of OK command button on Startup form.
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm ("Main Switchboard")

Now I think I've made things a whole lot worse. When I opne the database I get that first startup form and of course the button doesnt work and everything else is disabled.

I could really do with some help on this one.

Thanks,

Marc.

P.s. Cracking forum guys, if it weren't for places like this people like me would be in a whole world of ****!!

Mail Merge Opening Another Copy Of Database

Dec 11, 2006

Hey Guys,

Hope you can help as this one's got me stumped!

I'm using Access 2000 and run a mailmerge function via a button on a form. (It opens Word, which then uses a query in the database to refer to and then 'automerges' into a new Word document).

It used to work absolutely fine but now it opens Word and then opens another copy of the database (so I have 2 running) and all hell breaks loose.

Any ideas what I can do to stop this? Has anyone come across this before?

Any help/suggestions would be gratefully recieved as I feel like I'm in a 'needle in a haystack of needles' situation here.

Cheers,

Rusty
:D

When Opening A Database I Can Only View & Edit The Form...

Jul 9, 2007

Hello,

When I attempt to open any of my Access databases I am presented only with the form that has been selected as the 'startup' option. Furthermore, it seems to be impossible to switch to 'design' view and my only options on the toolbar are File, Edit, Insert, Records, Windows, Help. As far as I can tell, none of these enable me to select the options required to give me my entire database back.

I am something of an Access novice, so if the above problem seems familiar to anyone i'd be grateful for the solution! The help option within MS Access hasn't been particularly useful.

Many thanks,

David

Problem Opening Database With Access Runtime

Oct 9, 2007

Hi

We have an access database which 3 of us use at work.
All 3 pcs use access runtime to modify the database records
The problem we have is that when you try to open the database with pc3 it just does nothing if pc1 or pc2 has the database open. So we both have to close it and let pc3 open it, then we have to reopen it.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

The pcs are all configured the same way, are the same model with the same Windows XP Pro image on them.

Help please?

Thanks

General :: Database Opening With Out Of Memory Error

Nov 14, 2014

In the database that I use at work sometimes when we OPEN it we get an immediate error saying out of memory, therefore we close it and reopen and all is good.

This is a problem when the average user logs on as they don't close it, they just continue on and then start experiencing issues.

I thought that the memory was supposed to clear when you close the database.

We run the debugger and no errors are ever found, we also run the compact and repair.

This can happen 1 in 10 or maybe 20 times when we open the database.
