General :: Close Database When A File Is Not Found
Feb 12, 2015
I have this code that I want to close the database when a file is not found:
Option Explicit
Dim boolCountDown As Boolean
Dim intCountDownMinutes As Integer
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
boolCountDown = False
[Code] ....
A form with this code is opened when the database is loaded. The form refreshes every 10 seconds. When the form refreshes, it searches (is supposed to search) for a file name and if not found, close the database. but if it's found it does nothing. I rename the file when I want the database to close. But the code runs no matter what and closes the database even if the file is in the correct location with the correct name. the file path above is a network drive but it doesn't work no matter when I put the file. I bolded the parts that are supposed to be searched.
My database is in database where we do the editing and using Access for query reports.
Upon importing from External Data Link to the data source by creating a linked table: the table was created but running a query yields the above error.
Everytime i want to make some changes to my "Testing" Database , always got somebody using it / opening it...

mY Access database short cut is giving error...like Access datbase fiel could not be find on specified location. When i open the database rather than from shortcut giving the same error.
But when i go into server and open there it works fine.
I have been using the below code for several months to export to excel. Lately I get a run-time error 53 - File not Found. I have not changed anything, so what could be causing this issue. The debugger stops on the line "FileCopy sTemplate, sOutput"
Public Function ExportRequest() As String On Error GoTo err_Handler
Dim dbs As Database Dim qdf As QueryDef Dim frm As Form ' Set database variable to current database. Set dbs = CurrentDb() Set frm = Forms!AOSummaryReportForm ' Open QueryDef object.

I've created an application in Access 2010 with a back-end and user-level security via workgroup file. The application has 12 users, the back-end is on a network share, and everyone has the front-end installed locally. Everything has been working great until today, when I made a small change and installed it on users' machines. Suddenly, one and only one user is getting the File Not Found error (53) whenever he opens the database, and all form buttons produce the same result.
I am trying to do some different things and want to experiment at this time. You may think this is a C# question, but I have searched everything I can and can't find an answer. Everybody seems to understand it differently and do not give good answers. I have found that Access people are more creative, are willing to take a chance, and will understand the question.
I created a C# project. I created a database with a table in C#. Now, I would like to dump my data from Access into that table. The database is an .sdf file. If I can do this, I may use this as an Access FE BE later on.
Cannot Open Database". It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt. I have a colleague that is using Microsoft Access to import objects from SQL server but he's getting the above error. I've checked the login my colleagues uses and it has all the right permissions ect but I cannot seem to figure out why this error is still happening. Is it something to do with the SQL server or Microsoft Access?
Okay so I created a database inventory. I know I can turn it into a "application" making it a EXE file. I was wondering after that being done could I burn that into a CD? So it would boot from the CD. Pretty make it work like a program application as in word, excel, etc..
I haven't used FSO before, and it seems that the syntax is a little different than typical VBA for strings, but I can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong here... I keep getting a "file not found" error on the "FSO.CopyFile..." line. I have printed all of my strings to the immediate window to check that they're printing correctly. It all looks good. My code is as follows:
'Copy file 'Set up strings for coding file names Dim FilePath As String FilePath = Me.txt_FilePath Dim FileName As String FileName = Me.txt_FileName
We have a couple Access 2000 database's that are updated from Oracle data each night. There is a routine that opens Access, updates, then closes. However, on numerous occations, when it closes, the ldb file is still there. I can not delete the file without rebooting the server which I do not want to do every day.
Also, I noticed that the ldb file date is changed when I exit Access not when the db is opened. I thought the opposite was suppose to happen.

Is there a way to open an Access Database from a batch file or VBS file wait for 20 seconds and then close the Access file. Preferably I would like the Access file to run in either invisible or minimized mode. I would like the Access Database to close again after the 20 seconds has elapsed.
(The reason for this is so that the Database can refresh itself from Sharepoint on another users machine so that the excel reports on his machine are up to date).
I am having difficulty importing a large txt file into my database, due to the first column containing a * prefix. normally i would just go through the document and delete it, but this file is quite large at over 100k records.
Is there anyway of importing this file in access 2010 and telling access to ignore the first column?
I have an Access Database of around 8MB. However, after a day's use, this file size increases to around 110MB. If I run a Compact and Repair, the file returns to it's usual size. The first time I noticed this, the file had reached a size of 2GB which is a bit alarming. The file does get used but only appending around 50 records a day and making some amendments. What could be causing this increase?
All of the sudden I get an error message when I try to open my database from a file rather than through Access. If I open Access first and open the file that way, there is no problem but if I click on it from Windows Explorer, I get the error.
Im seeking for a solution to prompt all user with windows alert for Notification
Case 1:One staff applied leave and clicked "Submit" , after clicked I want the system will prompt his/her Supervisor for his/her leave approval or like a notification that the Supervisor need to go somewhere to approve (Selected Supervisor)(Maybe the Supervisor need to 7x24 Opening the access database).
I'd like to import an excel file but the data begin from cell "A10", above there is a "privacy text".Is it possibile import or link the excel data in an access table directly from the cell A10?
I am trying to make on load even to check if server side applicate FE is same as of client side FE. For this I am quering a field to check no and if it is not same then to start a batch file which copies and replaces client side FE.
Problem is if access application is running, it gives error. So I need to close the db and replace application.
I know xcopy command to replace file but do no how to trigger close application.
So a while back I created a database which I use to keep track of my companies large list of products. It is very simple only 3 tables, 1 query and 1 form. After running into a problem with copying and pasting updates on each computer in the office I decided to split the database on a network drive. This worked for a bit, however I had to add new fields and modify the form, which corrupted the file. Luckily I had a backup before the split.
As far as I could tell all I had to do was modify the backend file and make a new front end. However it seems like it is not as easy as I thought it would be. How do you modify a split database without corrupting the files or using a non-split copy?
I am currently using Access 2010, and have successfully split a database, using the Access wizard.However, whenever a second or third user opens the database - with their front-end database file - they encounter the following message;The Microsoft Access Database engine cannot open or write to the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
I have researched the internet and see that it has something to do with network permissions. I have worked with my IT department and this appears to be resolved!
Is there a setting I need to check in the front-end and/or back-end copies of the databases?Why is there no file name in the error message?
I have limited programming skills but a basic understanding of databases.I want to create a database in Access that links to contacts in an Outlook pst file, and in the Access database I want to create a series of date dependant tasks or processes that I can apply to the relevant contact.The object being to to save that collection of tasks to apply to different contacts within Access.
I read in the book (Access 2013 inside out), one of the way to distributing access database is creating an application shortcut.
Now i have an Access 2013 file on my computer (with office 2013 and windows 7) other users have office 2007 and windows (XP) on their computers. now i want to give a copy of this file to other users without save as that to 2007.
I would like to know how i can do that with creating an application shortcut , if it is possible because in the book I could not find the way if there is?
i have a database that runs updates from within itself.what i need is, this database to then open a another database run a update query, then close it.
I need to find a way to close a file (spreadsheet) if it was left open by a user before my scheduled macros need to delete and remake that file to update it. Is there a way to do this in Access? I've been looking for scripts everywhere... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rick.
