    exclusive access to the database error

    Hi, That makes the database client/server and I believe will resolve this issue. I am not sure if all the 40 users are ready to do this. They are asking why this error comes up after the office 2003 upgrade and they never had this before.

    field length question

    Hello, The list box control exists on a form. The form uses a query to pull the data from the database and displays all the resulting rows on the list box. The list box has columns defined in its "Column Widths" fields. Column(0) is the first field in the query.

    field length question

    Hello All, The data is not entered through a form. The data displays on a list box that has several columns. Text from Column(0) gets inserted into the field in the database. So, I assume no errors appear when data is inserted like this. Thanks.

    field length question

    Hello All, One of the fields in a table is 11 characters in length. Would access raise on error usually or truncate the input if an input string of length > 11 is inserted? In this case, access just chopped off the remaining characters without a warning causing data loss. Any comments? Thanks.

    how to increment a counter

    We have a table whose text column value has to be reset to 0001 at the end of year. This column value is usually incremented everytime a form is submitted (that's when a database record is entered into another table). Therefore, it becomes 0002, 0003 etc .. After the end of year 2006, i.e this...

    MS access form design mode

    Hi, Thanks. That makes sense. Don't know why the people who gave me the database have such menu dropdowns at the top. Its a problem here, but surprisingly, no one knows why all those app related menu items appear on the top like that. Don't know how the users put them or why.

    MS access form design mode

    Hello, Is there a way to export all tables at once instead of exporting each table/form etc manually. It would take hours to export every single item manually. Also, any idea as to why these menus appear in the database on the top? Thanks for all help.

    MS access form design mode

    Thanks. It' an mdb file. I will try the export. I have to give the database back along with changes. I never did the export in access. Not sure if the exported database would look just like the original database(the custom built menus on the top). I guess I'll have to export them again back into...
