If you are unfamiliar with "runtime" you might want to familiarize yourself with it. When I wrote "runtime computer" I was referring to the computer I use for regression testing which has access runtime, but not full access. I found some items to be fixed in runtime that I did not notice in the...

My install writer says he can trust the folders with one line of code in NSIS.

That's the crux of it, as I found out in researching. I thought I would post some info. Runtime doesn't allow you to trust content like full blown access does, so you have to mark the folder as a trusted access location. Unfortunately, with Access Runtime, this is complicated. Best way to do it...

New problem that I would like help with if you have time. I have developed a split db app that us signed and packaged, and the installer is also signed using certificates from Digicert that seem to be working fine. Everything was working fine until I decompiled and recompiled the database to...

Sorry - I didn't realize I would need to reinstall runtime to make this work. The good news is, in runtime, my certificate actually works (no annoying "enable content" warnings). Wish it was like that in the regular Access environment.

Ok, I am perplexed. I have developed a split database in access 13 under the believe that users with runtime would be able to extract and use the two accdc files. To test it, I uninstalled access from my spare laptop but left the runtime there. THen I downloaded my program. THe front and back...

:) Ha. I was hoping I would get a good chuckle today. I was researching a similar issue and tried this approach and it worked well. Didn't want others to miss that point. However, if there are issues with the approach, someone should probably correct me.

I tried the above code today and it worked fine. What was the issue?

Hi, I have a question regarding access 2013 runtime. My understanding is that when you deploy signed/packaged access 2013 it compresses the files with the runtime version of access 2013. Does this cause problems if the user already has an older version of access (say 2010)? Also, the Access...

Thanks Pat, I understand where you are coming from. I emailed SageKey and they are still testing their Access 2013 installer, so I purchased InstallAware. I plan on installing accdc files which, I believe, include access runtime. My assumption is that the user won't have access, but I don't...

Hi All, Using access 2013, the package solution is included, but the installation wizard is no longer included. I am trying to write my own install program. First, I wanted to ask you if it is possible? I mean, has anyone successfully been able to build an installer that copies the accdc files...

Hi All, I have purchased a relatively expensive install package from InstallAware (version 17) and they offer 0 meaningful support unless you want to pay $200 per hour. I have figured out how to make the installer work in the Test Run in IDE, but when I deploy it, a couple things happen. One...

I can try that tomorrow Gina, thanks for the tip. The strange thing is that the system is working as expected from one end to the other, and I do not have any issues deleting and restoring the tables. So, my hunch is that the issue is in a report query or something, but when inspect them, they...

I did have it on. So I unchecked, compact/rep'd the front end and back end and unfortunately, the issue persists. Thanks for the suggestion.

An update here. I think the issue was that my code was only checking that the combo box field was populated before performing calculations, and that the invalid value was able to make it through. I could add logic to ensure that the combo box value exists in a query, but I found it easier to...

Thanks for the tips. I looked at the articles and the issue I am having seems to be different. For some reason, when I try to update links on certain tables, I get the error message that the engine could not find the object. The object not being found is just a truncation of an actual object. I...

Glad I am testing my database. I have found a problem that I was hoping to get help with. I have a couple forms with Combo boxes that look up data in queries. I noticed in testing that I could accidently type a "~" (and other characters) in the field and once I do, it causes a runtime error...

So as to make sure I understand this, this article implies that if I have a lookup field based on a query, and a filter was created for the query using the Criteria option in the Query design view, and the criteria applied is the current value on that same form (e.g., month), the filter will not...

Hi, I am sure some of you have seen the warning message, The Microsoft Access Database Engine could not find the object '', make sure it is spelled correctly, et al. I have 9 tables that present this message when I try to update the linked table manager. The issue I am having is that the...

I can't do that, I don't think. The idea is to let someone create a keyword that will call up reports for the records they select. So they create a keyword in table B and select the applicable table A records. If I follow you, you are suggesting I get rid of the applicable records field and...
