I have a large database. I want to identify which objects take up the most space. Any way of identifying a list of each object with their relative size?
I can do this in sql server, but no in Access?
I have adopted someone elses database. It is a front end with about 100 linked tables/forms/reports/modules. The problem is that the database is really large. I would think by looking at the objects that it should be around 5mb tops, however after compacting it is still 63mb.
Is there a way (vba or otherwise) to look at each object and get its size in KB?
Once I can figure out which object is taking up too much space I can work on making them smaller.
The column in my list-box did not show all the text i save in the table field. is there any limited size for list-box's column to show the data ?

Do you guys think the database will get small in size if i have like 200 records and each one of them have a 4 kb thumbnail as OLE object?
I know that putting big images in OLE objects gets very big but a small thumbnail is ok and doesn't increase the size of the .mdb so much? (130x98 pixels)
I have a table (Imported from Excel) with In and Out records.
Here are the problems I have:Each record has either In or Out data. I have an identifier to know which ones are In and which ones are Out
It might have some misses, either no In or no Out record for the specific work time. A worker can get in at the evening and get out at the morning of the next day. Might have more then one entrance/exit on the same date.
I want to have the record sorted so I'll have an In and Out on the same row (record) including holes for the missing ones.
Hi,
I have been trying to list all of the objects in my database in a single form.
I have come across this piece of code which lists the reports, can anyone surgest how I can change it to wiew tables?
SELECT Name FROM msysobjects WHERE (((msysobjects.Type)=-32764));
Hi,
I'm buliding an access system in which the forms and tables stored in seperate databases as such:
forms: \serverdirmyDatabase.mdb
tables: \serverdirdatamyTables.mdb
myDatabase has a load of linked tables from myTables. Problem; my network drives are mapped differently from the users, so the links do not work for me.
So - does anyone know how I can set up a relative link, so myDatabase looks for datamyTables? i.e. it looks from the source directory rather than checking the whole path back to the root?
Hope this is making sense . . .

I am trying to link an images (.png) onto a form. I have a folder of all the images I want but I want the path to be relative. So that if I move the access file and the images folder to a new location, it will still work.
In the properties for the image, It works fine as C:UsersjohnDesktopimage1.png but what I am looking for is the ability to use "imagesimage1.png" as the file will always be in that relative folder to the db.
What is the correct syntax for this? putting image1.png in the same directory and just using image1.png works, but this won't be very tidy with 100+ images.
I have tried:
imagesimage1.png
imagesimage1.png
imagesimage1.png
With PictureType set as linked.
I know from searching it is possible through VBA by getting the root directory of the folder and appending the filename. Don't really want to go this root. I also don't particularly want to create a table to store the images or links.
I used to generate PDFs in A2003 with Leban's code, and they came out at about 10K.
in A2010 these same PDFs are coming out at about 250K - whether i use docmd.outputto, or still use the previous code
is there any way to reduce the size of the pdfs?
I have a database (Access 2003 and I am using it with Access 2007 with user level security) on shared folder on internal Dell server and I have created a shortcut to each user's machine to access it. This days I am facing a problem of db size as every 10 days it's increasing upto 2gb but the strange thing is when I am doing cut / pasting same database to my desktop from the server shared folder it will become 80 mb only and I am again placing that db (80mb db) into the server and it will work. What is a reason behind it? why my 80mb db is showing 2gb db on server?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible (using the menu or VBA code) to find out the size of the objects in an Access database file?For example if the .accdb file is 300Mb, is there any way of comparing the size of the numerous tables/forms/reports/queries etc, that make up the database?(I know that if I created a new access file and imported the objects from the working database that could give an indication but that would be quite a repetitive process).

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have an Access 2010 database that is accessed by some users from another location. Each user has their own copy of the front end. For some reason two users in our Sydney office enter orders, but after they have entered and saved the order, sometimes for no apparent reason they get an "invalid argument" error message and all the data in the order has been converted to hieroglyphics. I cannot seem replicate this from my server location.
It seems to only occur from our Sydney based server. Could it be that each user's copy of the front end is located on the same virtual drive on our Melbourne based server? Should I move the Sydney user's copies of the front end to the Sydney based server?I think it might be the growing size of the database but I compacting doesn't reduce it by much.
Been using XP all this time, just got a new computer with Windows 7. Still using old Access 2000, not my call to update as this is the decision of the guy who owns the database.
Anyways, I opened Access for the first time, just a blank database so I can set up the user account. When I go to Tools > Security > User and Group Accounts and try to assign a password to Admin, I get the error message that it cannot update because the database is read only.
Where did this come from? I have never seen this message before, and the person who owns the database has a couple computers with Windows 7 that I have set this up on and did not run into this issue.
I realize that there can be some compatibility issues with Windows 7 and Access 2000 but it has worked on other Windows 7 computers, and not using the virtual XP mode.
I am using a command button to email an invoice to a customer using the sendobject function, whilst this almost works correctly it is adding an additional mailto:address along with the correct email address.
Example: CorrectEmailAddress and then#mailto:CorrectEmailAddress
The code I am using is:
On Error Resume Next
Dim Cusemail As String
Cusemail = Nz(DLookup("Email", "invoiceemailQ", "orderID=" & OrderID), "")
If Cusemail = "" Then
MsgBox "No email Address"
Exit Sub

Is it possible to declare a reference as an object, this way we could avoid our issues with broken references? I would just try it, but it seems like there is a quite a lot of testing it would require.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am cleaning up a database that has been around for some time and I wish to be able to check for references within REPORTS/VBA Module code/ Form Designs etc. anywhere there is likely to be a reference to either an Access TABLE or QUERY.... I know there is the 'Object Dependencies' function within Access that will go some way to telling you what relies on what, but this is simply not comprehensive enough in that it doesn't go down to Form design level where further references can hide...
Countless times I have checked and subsequently deleted tables that I considered redundant... only to find later on there was some SQL Source reference to a table or query buried in the design of a form that I had overlooked....
Any way to definitively check and to ensure that all traces of a specific table or query are accounted for...?
I have (from SPSS) many multiple regression analyses, and each one of them has about 7-8 independent variables. I need to find the effect size-in particular I want to have effect size above 1% and statistical significance p<0.001. I am familiar with p, but I cannot understand whether effect size is b, beta or R square and how to interpret it.

I have Access 2007 database.
I and trying to link to Outlook 2007 using the "External Data/More/Outlook Folder option and keep getting the "Object Class does not Support the Set of Events" error message.
I can link to a DBF and Paradox file without any problems.
I am running Office 2007 Professional and Access 2007 and Windows 10.
I have also done the following:
1. Removed Office 365
2. Decompiled the Access VBA code and corrected any issues
3. Compacted/Repaired the database
I have attached a screen shot of the references that I have selected.
This is a new setup as I recently purchased a new PC and Windows environment. I still have the old PC running Windows XP with the same configuration and it also experiences exactly the same error message.
I have 2 tables and from them I do a query called "Query_Dates". There, I created 4 calculated fields which compares fields of the two tables previously mentioned.
What I am trying to do is everytime the calculated fields are equal to "Diff", gets the value from the second table (ADHOC) and and puts it in the 1st table (Master_Table). In total there are 4 fields I would change depending on other 4 fields called (CheckRR, CheckQual, CheckProd, CheckCap).
The problem is that it gives me an error 3027, object is read-only.
Below, you can find the code.
Private Sub Comando27_Click()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim rsd As DAO.Recordset
Dim supplierName As String
Set rsd = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Query_Dates", dbOpenDynaset)
Set rst = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Master_Table" , dbOpenDynaset)
[Code] .....
My form respectively subform has a couple of problems related to the recordset as it is available in VBA.
The mainform contains material data, the subform contains the components of that material and a quantity, while the components are materials themselves. The subform's control source is an SQL statement created by the query builder.
Everything worked fine before i replaced the material-selecting combobox in the continuous subform by a textbox and a button. That button leads to another (dialog) form with some filtering options, which in turn returns the number of the selected material. This material gets inserted into the textbox. To this point it works fine.
But when i enter a quantity before i selected a Material, i get an error message after selecting the Material: This Action was Cancelled by an Associated Object. This happens while executing the following VBA Code on click of the material selection button (exact position commented in code):
Code:
Private Sub cbuSelectComponent_Click()
' Select component
Dim SQL As String
Dim rs As Recordset
DoCmd.OpenForm "Material Selector Dialog", , , , , acDialog, "Dialog"
If GLB_selected_mat = -1 Then 'cancel
[Code] ....
I've found the following Microsoft KB Article: [URL] ..... In their example code they use:
' Restore text box value to the original record contents
' in this case, that is NULL
datDataCtl.UpdateControls
I assume this is the relevant part, but i have no DataControl (what's that?) and neither found an UpdateControls method in the subform object.
The second error, "no current recordset", occures when i edit an existing component line in the subform that has been added right before (also using the same event and code as mentioned above). If i close the form after adding the component and open it again, it's no problem.
I have in my DB a lot of tables, queries and macro and every time I spent too much time by choose the right object.
Would be really useful give a color or change the character on each object. Is it possible?
I'm working on a query that lists all the queries in an Access database, and I would like the query to show the object description which is displayed when you right-click an object and display the object's properties. For queries, this is a text box just below the query name in the properties window.
So far, all I have is:
Code:
SELECT ID, Name FROM mSysObjects;
I would like to have something like:
Code:
SELECT ID, Name, Description FROM mSysObjects;
