Works On Windows 2000 Not Windows 2003
Sep 19, 2006I have a website that is asp (not .net) based with an Access DB and I am in the process of replacing an old windows 2000 server with a much faster windows 2003 server. Here lies the problem I have a script as part of the admin that exports data to a csv file. The query joins 4 tables together to get the data needed for the export. On the windows 2000 server it takes 1-5 seconds to execute and have the csv file ready for download. On the window 2003 server it times out. I striped it down to use 2 joins and it worked although it took more like 10-20 seconds to export. This exports a specific range of ID's and the range is normally only 40-50 rows. If I put time stamps in the code the problem is in the query of the database, so I know its not in the file write etc.
I am going to rewrite it to use multible querys instead of one large query, but I have many other sites that I am moving to this server that would work better if I can figure out why it is so slow.
The windows 2000 is a 900 mhz server the windows 2003 is a 2.8GHZ server both have 1 GIG of ram. The database file is on the local drive on both servers. I am guessing it is a difference in the Jet version, I just haven't been able to find a solution to the problem. This uses a DSN connection, configured the same on both servers. I have also tried it as a DSN-less connection with the same result.
I have installed access on the server and to execute the command in access it is <2 sec.
I am not an access expert I normally program in .net and php and use MySQL and MsSQL for databases, we just have these legacy sites that use Access DB's
Access And Windows 98 To Windows 2000
Nov 27, 2006Hi All,
This is my problem -
My customer has Access programs that work on their Windows 98 OS PC's, but when they try to use them on Windows 2000 OS PC's they will not work.
The programs I believe were originally written in Access 97 and now they have Access 2000 on the PC's.
By not working I mean the following -
The Access program allows them to enter a document name and then the file opens in Word - BUT - when they use it in Windows 2000 it does not open the document at all. It says file not found in Windows 2000 and the file does exist.
** The reason they have Access opening files is that Access keeps track of them for auditing purposes.
Now here is something that I want to mention. On PC's that were upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 the programs work.
Can anyone here tell me what is missing from 98 to 2000 that would do this.
Thank you very much for your time.

Version 97 And 2003
May 20, 2005Are there any issues with converting an older 97 database to 2003? Is it a straight conversion, or will there be differences that affect the way the database will run if converted? I've read somewhere that it is possible to use the newer version to open the database w/o converting it. It seems silly to have to install 97 on a new computer in order to view the db.

Will a database created in Win Xp using Access 2003 work on machine running Win 2000 Pro and Access 2000?
Thanx
What Version Of Access Do You Use?
Jul 16, 2005Very General Question
What version of Access do you use?
And if you use Access 97, why do you choose to use that over that of Access 2000 or higher?
I am curious to find out the reasons.
As for me, I use Access 2003 all around.
Calendar Pop-Up Version
Aug 15, 2005Help!
I just created a calendar pop-up for data entry in Access Version 2002 and it does not work with Access 2003. Any help from anybody would be appreciated!
Version Conflict
Sep 26, 2005An application that I made was created in Access 2000 as I was told that all users had at least this or newer. Of course a user with 97 popped up. Instead of having them purchase 2000 or newer I converted my app to 97 version. I expected troubles with references. So far this has only been a phone conversation and I plan on going there later today. The user says hitting alt/F11 does nothing... no code window comes up. I had her look through the menus for the code window but she says there is nothing there. She is getting runtime 3433 (she thinks) and unrecognized database format when trying to open a form. The database did open when holding the shift key though.
Before I go there, how do I open the code window for 97?
Any other suggestions? I bet this is a reference thing but there may be a problem with their access install too. There are 2 users at this location with the same issues... at least it sounds like it.

Which Version Of Access To Use ?
Dec 17, 2006Hello All
I have a database which is use at busy times to run the delivery side of our Floristry business. The orders are entered,assigned to a delivery area, address labels printed. When it comes to delivery day orders are selected from the list ticked off then printed a make a list for the driver.
It was built using Access 97 when it first came out. Since then the software was upgraded to Access 2000 many mods have been made each year to improve the performance and the number of things it can do. It now has about 15 tables and a lot of queries.
Not being an expert with Access a lot of the design has been on a trial and error basis. Put it another way the main form has many hidden fields to make things work behind the scenes. But it does most of what I want it to.
I have now go to the point where the main query is saying that I can't add any more features because I have to many fields in it.
So the time has come to look at re building it for a number of reasons.
1. It is a stand alone database on one Pc.......... I would like to have it on a network to 3 or 4 Pc's around the shop.
2. Some of it needs to be redesigned to take out my ( it might not be the way a designer would it but it does work) type bits.
3 I would like to be able to use the system for all orders received on a day to day basis. So it will need to be used by other people.
My question today is
Should I be looking to rebuilt it using Access 2003 + the extra software so that i can run it on more than one PC.
Or would it be better to wait few months till Acess 2007 comes out and start from scratch.
thanks
Kevin.

How To Tell What Version Of Access Is Being Used
May 12, 2015I am trying to determine what version of Access is being used from a file that I obtained from a user. Everything I clicked on does not say what version of Access is being used. The extension name of the file is .MDB. The original version of the file I am accessing was created in 2001. Thus would you tell me how to verify what version of Access I am working with?

Sep 27, 2005I know its possible to have 2 different versions of Access installed, and that you have to uninstall then start in with the earliest version. BUT can I have 3 different versions? I think it should be no problem but thought I would ask first.
I am looking at 97, 2000, and 2003. Plan is to do just Access 97, 2000, and then the full office install of 2003.
Future Version Of Access
Oct 17, 2005When will Access support the .Net framework?
Will Microsoft ever consider making another RAD program similar to Access that supports the .Net framework?
Just think of an IDE of a RAD program similar to Access that has a full set of toolbox items already built in .Net that supports all of the functions / options that Access currently supports in its forms, reporting etc. and have the ability to interface with all of the .Net database engines... :cool:

Access Version Upgrade
Mar 26, 2006Hey,
I'm recently starting a new job and one of my tasks is to clean up their Access 2000 database. After looking through it and realizing how much crap there is in it, I was thinking about starting a new one for them from scratch. I was wondering if there are any pros/cons to redeveloping the database in 2003 verses 2000. Its a pretty small company with usually about 6 people concurrently working on it throughout the day.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!!
Access Version Problem
Sep 18, 2006is there way to open access xp files in access 2000
View 1 Replies View RelatedApplication Version Number
Dec 4, 2006Is there a way of specifying the version number of an Access application?
e.g. In classic Visual Basic you can specify the version number in the "Project Properties" menu option and then use these values in code by doing an app.major, app.minor etc... (or something like that).
Is there an equivalent in MS Access?

How To Run Version Compares Within MS Access? Help . . .
Feb 5, 2008We recently experienced network issues here at work. Now I need to make sure the current version of the MS Access application is running. Is there a version compare component with MS Access? Does anyone have a recommendation on software that will work well with MS Access 2003?

Access Version Of Transpose?
Feb 28, 2006Hi,
I've got two tables in Access. The first contains 300 column headers running from top to bottom, i.e:
Title
First Name
Surname
..
..
The second table contains the corresponding data entries for 1000 customers running from left to right, i.e:
MR Trevor Smith ....
MRS Mary Jones ....
Ideally i'd like to append table 2 to the bottom ot table 1 so the correct data field is under the right column header but I can't do this. Is there a transpose style funtion in access which will mean I can convert table 1 to run from left to right instead of top to bottom?
Thanks

Database Version Compare
May 22, 2006I have recently inheritied a database and find that there are functional differences between different versions of the database. The database contains over 30 very large tables and I am unable to find the differences between the versions. I need a process or tool that I can use to compare the different versions to find the table/record/field differences. I am up against a deadline and am needing a solution ASAP.
