    Stop users trying to open database when in inconsistent state

    Sorry, I know no better advice. What you are looking for is like building a hospital under a broken bridge, instead of fixing it.

    Stop users trying to open database when in inconsistent state

    Did you split to a local location, or network? from local location things should run better.

    Stop users trying to open database when in inconsistent state

    They may be other advice, but not better. You should have a front end for each user. You can have this code in a file on the network, designated to copy a file from the network to a temp local location, and open it: Private Sub copyAndOpenMdbFile(FileName As String) On Error GoTo...

    attach northwind DB to SQL Server 2012

    Hi, I'm trying to improve my SQL Server skills, and got stuck in the beginning... I have SQL Server 2012 & VS 2013 installed, and downloaded Northwind and Pubs sample DBs. I can't get the sample DB's attached to the server, these are 2000 versions... Any way around this? A link to a newer...

    Do it without an Event

    I can't understand why would someone have a calculated field in a table, in my opinion, that's just what views are for... in any case, to the best of my knowledge, these are not optional in 'regular' mdb or accdb files. I would truly reexamine the requirements: field C should be calculated in a...

    Do it without an Event

    Hi, I would say the answer is no. What you could do is have a OnTimer event on a form, and have a process run without other Human involvement. but as far as I understand computing, there is a basic need for a human decision before software starts running... this decision is captured as an event.

    Data Definition Query No-Go with Linked Tables

    Well, not DDL, but I have 2 cases: for one client I have the quite a few BEs, by time slice, any modification in the BE is made for all BEs. In an other case, a colleague provides his clients the application in a terminal server. It is more accurate to loop through all BEs, and make the...

    Difference between Access VBA & SQL

    That is true when working in VBA module, but modules are objects, or tools, within Access. you can create an entire application using Macros, and not a single line of VBA code (it would not be a very rich application...), and to the contrary: you can create a user defined function, and run it as...

    Validating Date

    DLookup() for one Field in one record, or DAO.Recordset for more. It seems to me you will need a criteria too, to define the flightDate of witch record (=flight) do you need. ATB

    loop of DELETE sql on one record - occasional error 3086

    Hope I'm over with this: I believe the issue is DB locks, not index overhead. First: when error handler had code: If Err.Number = 3086 Then Resume Code execution usually continued. While process ran, I saw the ldb file being created and deleted constantly, locking and unlocking the tables...

    loop of DELETE sql on one record - occasional error 3086

    Hi spike, and thanks for replying Well, if I had something solid I would have posted it... Maybe a few facts: 1. The Process was tested on this same data a few times, each test resulted with a different number of errors, not necessarily from the same records (same p_Code and same XmlFile). 2. I...

    loop of DELETE sql on one record - occasional error 3086

    Hi, in brief: running these simple lines of code CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE FROM Components WHERE Code = " & p_Code CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE FROM Packs WHERE Code = " & p_Code sometimes causes error 3086 - 'Could not delete from specified tables'. usually, works fine. In detail: In a data...
