BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm. Sometimes MS are a real PITA.

The commandline formatting options, are there too many that you need to pass at the command line? Or they don't have what you need? If it's the former, you can pass the name of a config file, as opposed to passing the parameters on the command line, to get you command line length down. If that is of any help.

I'll be glad to help out. I'm sending this to you and the list, since I will put some general info in here which can only help anyone with understanding how a network works. If you have more specific questions John, feel free to email me offline. (use dwutka at marlow.com or drew at wolfwares.com). If anyone else reading this doesn't want to learn a bit, just stop reading. Okay, to begin with, TCP/IP is Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, which is the protocol used to communicate through the internet. TCP/IP can also be used within a LAN. So how does it work? Well, to make a network protocol work, the first thing you need to do is create a method of identifying each machine on the network. With TCP/IP, that 'id' is the IP Address. Your IP address is made up of 4 bytes, or quads. (192.168.0.1, each of those numbers is going to be within a byte's range, 0 to 255). Now, with IP Addresses, Numbers get assigned from the left to the right. What that means is, an organization that requires a lot of addresses may get the entire range of 146.xxx.xxx.xxx, which is a ton of addresses (255^3), where as a smaller company may get 156.134.21.xxx which is only 255 addresses, and of course and individual user will usually only get 1 IP Address. There are several 'reserved' addresses, which are predesignated for various functions. For internal networks, or LANs, 10.10.xxx.xxx and 192.168.xxx.xxx are set aside. What does that mean. That means that there can be many computers turned on with the IP address of 192.168.0.2, but none of them would be allowed to access the internet directly, since that is a LAN specified IP address and that would place multiple machines with the same 'id' in direct contact (which is not allowed to happen, otherwise TCP/IP would not work) John, I am sure you knew that much, just providing a little background. Now there are two other 'properties' that are in direct relation to the IP address. The first is the subnet mask. The subnet mask refers to the 'subnet' that a computer is on. 255.255.255.0 means that the subnet for 192.168.0.3 is all IP addresses with 192.168.0.xxx. The way to 'figure' a subnet, is to use bit comparison against the subnet mask. 255 is all bits turned on, so that number is an exact match. 0 is all bits off, so that entire quad is a variable. In between that, you have 254, which means the last bit is variable, etc. What makes the subnet mask important, is that when a computer needs to 'scan' it's surroundings, it uses the subnet mask to determine what addresses to talk to. (JC...important to remember this...) A good example of how this effects things is an issue I have seen with Windows 98 machines. Our subnet at work is 255.255.254.0, which means the internal IP addresses are 192.168.0.xxx and 192.168.1.xxx. The problem on the 98 machines is that sometimes we get a NIC that set's it's subnet to 255.255.0.0. That is roughly 65,000 addresses. With that many addresses to scan, network connections time out. So what makes this important, is that your subnet needs to be large enough to accomodate the numbe of computers it is going to support, and no larger, because a larger subnet takes longer to 'scan'. The next important item is the gateway, which is the Address of the router for a subnet. You must have a router 'in front' of every subnet. A router acts as a phone switch box between subnets. The gateway must be in the same subnet as the local IP address (unless you are setting up a router...that's a different story all together). A router 'knows' what is on either side of it, so it will either pass packets back into the subnet it covers, or send them off to another subnet, based upon the addressing. Now that you know the basics of TCP/IP, it's time for the 'support' processes, which is where you are running into problems JC. The first support item is DHCP. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When it comes to your TCP/IP settings mentioned above, there are two ways to set them. Manually enter the settings, which is refered to as a static IP, or getting them from a DHCP server. How does a DHCP server work? It's actually pretty simple. It has a 'cache' of addresses that it is allowed to 'hand out'. It also has a 'settings structure' that it gives to it's clients. That structure dictates the subnet, and gateway properties. It can also include items such as DNS and WINS settings (and more). So here's the trick, how do you get an IP address without having an IP Address to communicate with. What happens is your computer broadcasts a DHCP request. It's essentially 'protocolless'. It does this by using your machine's MAC address (which is the unique ID of your network card. IP Addresses are used because there is no rhyme or reason to a MAC address, so it would be a real pain to 'route' between subnets based on MAC Addresses, so TCP/IP overlays the MAC Address. Sort of like the difference between using a phone number versus genetic code. You can absolutely find the right person with genetic code, but when you find the first genome, you don't have a specific direction to head in, where as a phone number starts with an area code or country code, which automatically sends you to the right region.) This too is important, because a DHCP server can be setup with 'reservations' based on a MAC Address. What that means, is that when a request comes in to a DHCP server, from a client machine, the DHCP server looks at the MAC address, and if there is a reservation for that address, it hands out the assigned IP Address for the reservation. If it does not have a reservation, it hands out any 'available' address. This allows you to use a DHCP setup, while maintaining relatively 'static' IP addresses. The advantage to this, is that you can change these 'static' IPs from the server, instead of having to go to each machine. The last thing you would want to know about a DHCP server, is that the 'broadcast' message that a client machine sends out, is broadcast only within a subnet. In other words, all switches and hubs will pass the signal to all of their ports, but a router will not let it pass. Thus, you must have a DHCP server 'within' both your TCP/IP subnet, and physical subnet. It's also why many routers have DHCP capabilities. There is certainly a lot more, but that's all you need to know to fix your problem. You need to setup your DHCP server to hand out not only the right addresses, but the right information for those addresses (subnet and gateway). If I remember right JC, you talked about setting up a Windows 2000 server on your home network. Did you do that. If so, you can just drop using the DHCP in your router, and instead turn on the DHCP service on your server. Windows 2000's DHCP server is as easy to setup as choosing your wallpaper. Setting up a DHCP service within a router requires reading the manual, and learning to program your router. Each router is different. Some have handy 'web' interfaces (just try http://192.168.0.1), or whatever your gateway is. If your router will let you modify it's settings through the web, you just need to find the DHCP settings, and setup the IP Address Pool (which should include the 'settings' for that pool). Technically a router's DHCP is going to be a little faster then a servers, because it is a hard wired service, instead of a software service. But we are talking nanoseconds, and if your router is a pain to setup, those nanoseconds are worthless against an easy GUI option. Also, if you have a Windows 2000 Server machine running, you can setup your own WINS and DNS services. Having your own DNS server is EXTREMELY handy. For example....when my DSL is working, I just open my browser and type email in the address, and i am brought to our Outlook Web Access site. Intranet brings me to our Intranet site. This is done, by setting up my own DNS 'aliases'. Any who, if none of this helps, or you want some more specific help, either email me, or if you want to go the Windows 2000 Server route, give me a call. (Actually, if you email me with your #, I'll call you on my cell phone...weekend minutes are practically free) I can walk you through the settings step by step. (My DSL might be down (actually it will hopefully be up tomorrow), but my server is still running, so I have a running resource to compare settings with. (I set it all up myself...I'm actually running Active Directory, which I HIGHLY recommend, but it's not for the faint of heart! ). Drew -----Original Message----- From: John W. Colby To: AccessD Sent: 1/24/03 10:11 AM Subject: [AccessD] OT: network help Guys, I am having network troubles at my home office. Here's the situation. I have a small network running on a dlink DL-704 router. WWW connection through my cable, thus a cable modem. The router is the dhcp server. Internal addresses were 192.168.0.x with the router being 192.168.0.1. Understand I am not a network guy so I can spout this stuff but you should not mistakenly conclude that I understand it. The problems started when I tried to set up a Remote Access connection to a client system. I could get the virtual channel to run but couldn't get to the "server" on that system which was set (internally to THEIR network) to 192.168.0.10. The problem is that their network and mine were both using 192.168.0.xxx. The network guy that set everything up for the client asked me to change my system to 192.168.1.xxx which I did. Everything came to a crashing halt on my system, at least in terms of getting to the internet. In fact weird things would happen like... some chat clients worked (yahoo and aol), others didn't (msn). On closer investigation it seems that the default gateway is still set to 192.168.0.1. Since everything else is set to 192.168.1.xxx (including the router - 192.168.1.1) it appears that this default gateway number is causing havoc. We could not find where this number is assigned, IOW how to change it (default gateway) from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1. The "answer" was to go set the TCP/IP properties manually to "use the following address" instead of "Obtain an IP address automatically". Once I go in there and set the info manually, including the "default gateway", everything works. However this now means that I have to manually configure all of my computers since when they obtain automatically, they end up with the default gateway address of 192.168.0.1 which doesn't work. This is going to cause problems when I hook up my tivo box which I can't get at the settings to set manually. So... the question is, where the hell is this Default Gateway setting configured. It seems like it should be part of the router configuration but I simply cannot find that setting in the router's setup stuff anywhere. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

However this now means that I have to manually configure all of my computers since when they obtain automatically, they end up with the default gateway address of 192.168.0.1 which doesn't work. This is going to cause problems when I hook up my tivo box which I can't get at the settings to set manually. So... the question is, where the hell is this Default Gateway setting configured. It seems like it should be part of the router configuration but I simply cannot find that setting in the router's setup stuff anywhere. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

Colby Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 11:11 AM To: AccessD Subject: [AccessD] OT: network help Guys, I am having network troubles at my home office. Here's the situation. I have a small network running on a dlink DL-704 router. WWW connection through my cable, thus a cable modem. The router is the dhcp server. Internal addresses were 192.168.0.x with the router being 192.168.0.1. Understand I am not a network guy so I can spout this stuff but you should not mistakenly conclude that I understand it. The problems started when I tried to set up a Remote Access connection to a client system. I could get the virtual channel to run but couldn't get to the "server" on that system which was set (internally to THEIR network) to 192.168.0.10. The problem is that their network and mine were both using 192.168.0.xxx. The network guy that set everything up for the client asked me to change my system to 192.168.1.xxx which I did. Everything came to a crashing halt on my system, at least in terms of getting to the internet. In fact weird things would happen like... some chat clients worked (yahoo and aol), others didn't (msn). On closer investigation it seems that the default gateway is still set to 192.168.0.1. Since everything else is set to 192.168.1.xxx (including the router - 192.168.1.1) it appears that this default gateway number is causing havoc. We could not find where this number is assigned, IOW how to change it (default gateway) from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1.

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view. Greg Smith Programmer/Trainer weeden1949 at hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Myke Myers" To: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

It says it installs successfully, but then it doesn't recognize the server and it won't let me do anything with it. What's weird is that the System Manager will run but of course can't find a server to start.

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com From ricknalley at nalleyweb.com Tue Jan 28 17:13:32 2003 From: ricknalley at nalleyweb.com (Rick) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:13:32 2003 Subject: [AccessD] (no subject) Message-ID: <010601c2c664$3d5e88b0$0400a8c0@mainsys> Test, is the list still alive.

In-Reply-To: <000e01c2c3ee$e3bb2240$6501a8c0@tbig3> Message-ID: I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly.

I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly.

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine.

Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

(315) 699-3443 jimdettman at earthlink.net Hi John, <> Yeah, that would put the breaks on everything and something you probably didn't need to do. <> First, I'd go back to the way everything was, as you didn't need to change it in the first place. <> There are two ways to setup a network: with a DHCP server and without. Without one you need to manually specify the IP address, the gateway, and the DNS servers in Windows. With a DHCP server, you don't do any of that manually. The PC at startup broadcasts a DHCP request and the DHCP server (in this case your router) supplies all that info. In Windows, the only thing you need to do is to set it for "Obtain IP address automatically". In your router setup, the router is has two addresses that can be assigned: the internal network and WAN port. The WAN port IP is your external address (used to talk to the rest of the world) and something which your ISP either sets dynamically or is static. The internal address is the one you want to change and the one that is supplied to the DHCP client as the Gateway Address. So your not looking for "Gateway" but "internal IP address" or "Network IP". This is a fundamental setting for the router. When you change it, you'll loose communication with the router until you reboot your PC. As to what I mentioned earlier, you didn't need to change all this because the address on the remote end at the client is not the one you need to be using. The address you gave is for private networks only and not a public one. Your client has a router/firewall in place and NAT (network address translation) is being used, same as in your router. The 192.168.0.x is a private address and neither of you will be able to find each other on the Internet using that address. The addresses you need to be working with are the WAN addresses set in your routers. If neither of you have static addresses with your ISP, then you'll need to get them or use a 3rd party such as www.dyndns.org to establish communications. Fill me in with what your trying to do and I'll help further if I can, but for now, set things back to the way they were. -----Original Message----- From: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of John W. Colby Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 11:11 AM To: AccessD Subject: [AccessD] OT: network help Guys, I am having network troubles at my home office. Here's the situation. I have a small network running on a dlink DL-704 router. WWW connection through my cable, thus a cable modem. The router is the dhcp server. Internal addresses were 192.168.0.x with the router being 192.168.0.1. Understand I am not a network guy so I can spout this stuff but you should not mistakenly conclude that I understand it. The problems started when I tried to set up a Remote Access connection to a client system. I could get the virtual channel to run but couldn't get to the "server" on that system which was set (internally to THEIR network) to 192.168.0.10. The problem is that their network and mine were both using 192.168.0.xxx. The network guy that set everything up for the client asked me to change my system to 192.168.1.xxx which I did. Everything came to a crashing halt on my system, at least in terms of getting to the internet. In fact weird things would happen like... some chat clients worked (yahoo and aol), others didn't (msn). On closer investigation it seems that the default gateway is still set to 192.168.0.1. Since everything else is set to 192.168.1.xxx (including the router - 192.168.1.1) it appears that this default gateway number is causing havoc. We could not find where this number is assigned, IOW how to change it (default gateway) from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1. The "answer" was to go set the TCP/IP properties manually to "use the following address" instead of "Obtain an IP address automatically". Once I go in there and set the info manually, including the "default gateway", everything works. However this now means that I have to manually configure all of my computers since when they obtain automatically, they end up with the default gateway address of 192.168.0.1 which doesn't work. This is going to cause problems when I hook up my tivo box which I can't get at the settings to set manually. So... the question is, where the hell is this Default Gateway setting configured. It seems like it should be part of the router configuration but I simply cannot find that setting in the router's setup stuff anywhere. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

Martin _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Tue Jan 28 17:22:01 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:22:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2185.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Myke: I had (have?) the same type of issue with a county office which was using a split database, the FE residing one each user's desktop, the BE on their main server, which was shared with other offices and could become quite busy. They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view. Greg Smith Programmer/Trainer weeden1949 at hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Myke Myers" To: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more.

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru Tue Jan 28 17:31:08 2003 From: shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru (Shamil Salakhetdinov) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:31:08 2003 Subject: [AccessD] TEST References: <001301c2c65c$2c780830$b615010a@FHTAPIA> Message-ID: <003501c2c724$072fabf0$b501010a@DAISY.local> PONG! :) (It's alive again!)

I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

I am migrating an A97DB from Win95 to Win2000Pro and everything is working fine EXCEPT when printing. This particular Db prints LOTS of single page reports in quick succession in varying quantities and I use the PRTDEVMODE properties to change parameters such as quantity, tray to print to etc. My printers tend to slip into LETTER size when they should be in A4... This happens intermittently and may happen on the first report or the 50th ....of course the printer drivers default is LETTER before it is set up and I think there is some sort of error when setting the DEVMODE properties causing the driver to fall back to its defaults .... Has anyone else experienced this behaviour in Win2000Pro?

I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine. Michael -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]Im Auftrag von Myke Myers Gesendet: Freitag, 24. Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From DWUTKA at marlow.com Tue Jan 28 17:55:56 2003 From: DWUTKA at marlow.com (Drew Wutka) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:55:56 2003 Subject: [AccessD] MiniCalendar Wish List Request...

I am migrating an A97DB from Win95 to Win2000Pro and everything is working fine EXCEPT when printing. This particular Db prints LOTS of single page reports in quick succession in varying quantities and I use the PRTDEVMODE properties to change parameters such as quantity, tray to print to etc. My printers tend to slip into LETTER size when they should be in A4... This happens intermittently and may happen on the first report or the 50th ....of course the printer drivers default is LETTER before it is set up and I think there is some sort of error when setting the DEVMODE properties causing the driver to fall back to its defaults .... Has anyone else experienced this behaviour in Win2000Pro? It works fine on Win95 (but of course that has its own set of problems ) Any help greatly appreciated Regards Tom Keatley _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Tue Jan 28 17:59:06 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:59:06 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2229.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Dear group, my app is beeing developed on a German version of MS Access. I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

Sorry, but I have had several request for one. It's not going to be a 'clock' per se, but rather a 'Time' data entry ability. (Since you are using a calendar to enter a date, why force the user to manually enter a time?) It will all be optional though, and shouldn't use resources that aren't requested.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly.

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

And free to use for anything else than a SAP solution: SAP DB can be used free of charge in non-SAP environments. There are various Support Models offered for SAP DB. If you use SAP?DB as a database system for SAP solutions, a maintenance contract is required. Thus, if are looking for a heavy duty ERP engine but don't have the budget for Oracle/MSSQL/DB2 pay this very neat site (including full on-line documentation) a visit: http://www.sapdb.org/ You can even order a cd-rom with the complete site and all downloads free of charge (pick the link CD-ROM). /gustav _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Tue Jan 28 18:09:44 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Tue Jan 28 18:09:44 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2245.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> testing new list Lembit Soobik lembit.soobik at t-online.de _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From harkins at iglou.com Tue Jan 28 18:10:02 2003 From: harkins at iglou.com (Susan Harkins) Date: Tue Jan 28 18:10:02 2003 Subject: [AccessD] internal recordset field names References: <2F8793082E00D4119A1700B0D0216BF801D81EEF@main2.marlow.com> Message-ID: <00e201c2c72a$a28a4640$9ee6ffcc@SusanOne> Drew -- thanks -- I knew that.

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view.

There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 02:57:04 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 02:57:04 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2350.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Myke, all data traffic between frontend and backend is going over the network, so I would doubt that splitting the backend would cause better performance. But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine. Michael -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]Im Auftrag von Myke Myers Gesendet: Freitag, 24. Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view.

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance! I know one of you genius' out there will know what I'm doing wrong immediately!

And free to use for anything else than a SAP solution: SAP DB can be used free of charge in non-SAP environments. There are various Support Models offered for SAP DB.

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:15:19 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:15:19 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D23CA.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Given the talk about worms don't forget to change your MSDE SysAdmin account password Otherwise if you connect SQL to the Net everyone and his dog will be in there.

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves. HTH Jim -----Original Message----- From: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Myke Myers Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 1:24 PM To: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view. Greg Smith Programmer/Trainer weeden1949 at hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Myke Myers" To: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:29:18 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:29:18 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D23FC.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> there are a number of free firewalls out there, I used to swear by tiny's personal firewall, it seems many people like ZonAlarm but I've had much better success and flexability with Sygate's personal firewall... if you upgrade (only 29.99 IIRC) they give you a whole arsenal worth of tools but they are not really needed in the sense that you can do block and allow anything you want. -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 10:41 AM Subject: [AccessD] SQL WOrm : Just for info : : You cannot AFAIK patch the evual of SQL Server 2000.

If you use SAP?DB as a database system for SAP solutions, a maintenance contract is required. Thus, if are looking for a heavy duty ERP engine but don't have the budget for Oracle/MSSQL/DB2 pay this very neat site (including full on-line documentation) a visit: http://www.sapdb.org/ You can even order a cd-rom with the complete site and all downloads free of charge (pick the link CD-ROM). /gustav _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:47:33 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:47:33 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2282.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Your test seems to have broken it, Martin!

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

I am migrating an A97DB from Win95 to Win2000Pro and everything is working fine EXCEPT when printing. This particular Db prints LOTS of single page reports in quick succession in varying quantities and I use the PRTDEVMODE properties to change parameters such as quantity, tray to print to etc. My printers tend to slip into LETTER size when they should be in A4... This happens intermittently and may happen on the first report or the 50th ....of course the printer drivers default is LETTER before it is set up and I think there is some sort of error when setting the DEVMODE properties causing the driver to fall back to its defaults .... Has anyone else experienced this behaviour in Win2000Pro? It works fine on Win95 (but of course that has its own set of problems ) Any help greatly appreciated Regards Tom Keatley _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:49:00 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:49:00 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2291.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Well, sorta - most of the messages are coming through with this Message not deliverable subject line.

I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:50:51 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:50:51 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2285.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> PING -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:51:24 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:51:24 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D228A.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> > So I guess this issue is something OS specific (Win2000 SP2).

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine. Michael -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]Im Auftrag von Myke Myers Gesendet: Freitag, 24. Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

In many cases we have been able to divide projects up among several contributors. In this case, the last step of our transfer from the previous to the new host had to be done by Bro, who has just recently got a new pretty tough job and has to work hard for it. Many of us do not understand what it takes to transfer such a list, and why there are delays involved which are pure technical nature. On some things you can work as hard as you like, it wont go faster. This total effort of selecting new hosts, saving the address lists, saving the web site, organizing who can do what when etc, was shared between a large number of list members like Bro, Kathryn, Seth, Martin, Donna, Pamela, and many more. I myself have seen how little I know about that, yesterday I have even been so naive to think I could send a message to you all, explaining the status, but I got a respons that I cannot send more than 100 msgs per day....

Then you can use a variety of methods to populate that property: set it directly from the calling form, set it using the openargs argument, etc. I generally do that with my forms so that when the form closes, I can simply navigate back to the the CalledFrom object. That approach allows you to do some fairly complex navigation with multiple objects open in a database.

I know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just just not happy." "And why is that Eve?" Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples." "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you". "Man? What is that Lord?" A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly when he is aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he will also need your advice to think properly." "Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's the catch Lord?" "Well, you can have him on one condition." "And what's that Lord?"

Message-ID: <2F8793082E00D4119A1700B0D0216BF801D81F0D@main2.marlow.com> Okay, the easiest way to update would be an append. However, I am a code head. So I was hit with this problem about 6 months ago. They wanted to 're-number' an Autonumber field, and the developer had switched to Numbers, and made the change, and wanted to put the 'new' numbers into the table. So I whipped up a little code for this. It uses two recordsets. rsNew and rsOld. rsNew needs to open a blank copy of the table with the Number field, but with an AutoNumber field instead. rsOld opens the number field table. If the records are sorted by that Number, use a SQL statement instead of opening the table directly. Last but not least, there are two lines that say rsNew.Fields(1).value="Test". Fields(1) needs to point to a text field...any text field will do, so just replace the '1' in both places with the first text field in the table. (remember 0 is the first field...) Here's the code: Dim rsNew As Recordset Dim rsOld As Recordset Dim intCurrentKey As Long Dim i As Long Set rsNew = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Problems", dbOpenTable) Set rsOld = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Problems-old3", dbOpenTable) rsOld.MoveFirst Do Until rsOld.EOF = True intCurrentKey = rsOld.Fields(0).Value rsNew.AddNew rsNew.Fields(1).Value = "Test" rsNew.Update rsNew.MoveLast Do Until rsNew.Fields(0).Value = intCurrentKey rsNew.Delete rsNew.AddNew rsNew.Fields(1).Value = "Test" rsNew.Update rsNew.MoveLast Loop rsNew.Edit For i = 1 To rsOld.Fields.Count - 1 rsNew.Fields(i).Value = rsOld.Fields(i).Value Next i rsNew.Update rsOld.MoveNext Loop MsgBox "Done" -----Original Message----- From: William Hindman [mailto:dejpolsys at hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 11:56 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Autonumber Corruption ...Help!!!! ...I did something really stupid ...not enough sleep I guess :( ...tblCompany.CompID is an Autonumber PK in a be mdb ...one of clients computers disconnected suddenly and corrupted the mdb ...an entire record in tblCompany was corrupted and repair did not fix it ...so I went to an archive from December and copied the record and pasted it into the current table ...all fine except that the AN PK had now changed and would not let me replace it with the original :( ...so I got stupid and went into design mode and changed the type from AN to a long ...fixed the PK ...then tried to change the data type back ...and of course it won't let me :((((( ...the company owner has last night's server backup tape but is in Miami and no one can reach him :((((( ...is there any way on god's green earth I can repair this?

My method works, but it's essentially a 'hack'. Also, it bloats your database, so you need to compact right afterwards. Just call me the Complicator!

Just thought I'd share something I worked out just now, only 'cause I thought it was spiffy and was sure newbies and oldies might find a use for it. So a user comes up to me and asks me to make a report that they would need to generate from time to time which would contain a week's-worth of data. However, they might not always generate it on time and so would need to be able to get data from any given week. "No problem!" I told them. And it turns out I was right. I'll leave the interface up to you, because the spiffy part is getting the first and last day of the week. We always wanted to get data from a given week, starting with Sunday and ending with Saturday (standard Western week period). The solution lies in a little built-in function called Weekday(). This function returns the ordinal value of the day of the week given that day as a Date value. So Weekday(#1/29/2003#) would return 4. With a bit of simple math and the use of the DateAdd() function, we can get either the start date or end date of a week given any date with one line of code each. Here are the two functions I wrote (error-hendler left out): Public Function basGetWeekStart(dte As Date) As Date 'Subtract the ordinal value of dte and add 1 to get the Sunday ' before dte basGetWeekStart = DateAdd("d", -(Weekday(dte)) + 1, dte) End Function Public Function basGetWeekEnd(dte As Date) As Date 'Subtract the ordinal value of dte from 7 (vbSaturday = 7) ' and add that many days to dte to get the Saturday after dte basGetWeekEnd = DateAdd("d", vbSaturday - (Weekday(dte)), dte) End Function Note that by default, Weekday() uses Sunday as the start of the week, but that can be overriden to suit your needs by adding one more parameter value to the function call. See Help on the function for constant values to use. This is the kind of code I like: simple, elegant, and relatively self-explanitory. Enjoy!

However, I would contend that using DateAdd() is a "safer" way of doing it, in that if MS ever changes how dates are stored, presumably DateAdd will still act as expected. I suppose it's also a matter of personal style. Performance-wise, either way should be fiarly equivalent. I've never noticed a significant lag when using DateAdd.

Doesn't the 'linking' process try to 'find' the source? You could strip the 'prompts', and hardcode the 'path'. Then have the opening code on your database check to see if it can open a 'linked' table, if it can't, have it relink the tables with your hard coded path. (the user wouldn't see anything at all, and you now have relinked tables when you need them). Just a thought.

In many cases we have been able to divide projects up among several contributors. In this case, the last step of our transfer from the previous to the new host had to be done by Bro, who has just recently got a new pretty tough job and has to work hard for it. Many of us do not understand what it takes to transfer such a list, and why there are delays involved which are pure technical nature. On some things you can work as hard as you like, it wont go faster. This total effort of selecting new hosts, saving the address lists, saving the web site, organizing who can do what when etc, was shared between a large number of list members like Bro, Kathryn, Seth, Martin, Donna, Pamela, and many more. I myself have seen how little I know about that, yesterday I have even been so naive to think I could send a message to you all, explaining the status, but I got a respons that I cannot send more than 100 msgs per day.... Leaves me only to say great thanks to all who helped in this transfer.

Yup - it was already announced that that is the case. We now have a split host system (that's a *good* thing). The website is hosted by Korksoft and you now need the www to get there.

Drew, I think it is safe to stop archiving the new messages if you choose to do so. But please leave the site up for awhile. I've changed the Search link on the website to show your http://intranet.marlow.com/AccessD link as well as the Wolfware one. > Let me know.

For now, there are other priorities, and since you have the space, just leave it as is until they are ready to ask for back stuff. Thanks again, for taking up the slack in our archives.

He admits it's a bonehead thing to do but wonders if there's a way to prevent him from doing that (be serious, now). Is there a way to stop that?

In the "Access 97 Developer's Handbook (Litwin, Getz & Gilbert)", the entire Chapter 10 is devoted to exactly what you are trying to accomplish - and more. If you own or can buy/borrow a copy, I would suggest that you do so first. It contains reasonably easy-to-follow instructions for handling all of the printing parameters, including paper sizes (pg 597).

Their operators type information into this program from phone calls, messages, and their web site. They do all of this manually, which makes sense for the phone calls, but it seems that there should be a way to replace Email with a web form, and have that information piped into the program...I'll stop short of saying I know there is, because I have absolutely no experience w/this. Now, this department is being "taken over" by an "outside" agency...budget problems have prompted the removal of a couple of depts. and they are being adopted by other sources. This is supposedly a good thing for the county, so I was given as a contact to aide in the migration...basically just answering questions. I guess my boss has setup some sort of support contract w/these folks. Back to the actual question...I spoke to the new director of this agency, yesterday, and he was surprised that they enter information from Email directly. He asked if there wasn't a way to pick the data out of the Email and put it into the DB. I told him that, what they should look into was to have a form on their website, and this data could be put into the DB, w/out human intervention. I did preface this by pointing out that I did not know how to do this. Is this possible? What does it take? What does it take considering the DB is already existant and wasn't programmed for this? Also, they currently use FrontPage for their site, which is hosted by an outside provider. If it can be done, but not w/FrontPage, I just need to tell them this. As it stands now, my involvement ends with a recommendation. But, if it is doable, I am thinking of offering my services. It is just that I am so busy right now, that I don't want to get in over my head either.

You probably have some idea how valuable this list is to its members, but in case you need reminding, even though I'm one of the "advanced" developers on this list, I pretty much regard it as my email home page. I look here first for questions I can answer and threads of interest. I very frequently copy code fragments from email messages into my CodeLib.MDB, which I keep fairly well organized by topic and keywords, so that for example I can jump in and find samples of ADO command and parameter objects. I paste in a snippet and do a couple of replaces and boom, next problem. Speaking of CodeLib.MDB, it appears that you cannot open it with Access or otherwise get into it, except through its front end. This is unfortunate, since it prevents easy merging of, say, your CodeLib.MDB with my own. I've tried importing &c to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas for how to get around this? I think that CodeLib is almost as valuable as this list, other than its inability to share :-) Arthur From John.Clark at niagaracounty.com Thu Jan 30 10:23:00 2003 From: John.Clark at niagaracounty.com (John Clark) Date: Thu Jan 30 10:23:00 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Web form data into Access97 Message-ID: Thanks, I'll look into this.

I used FrontPage to make the pretty html page and include statements inside the combo boxes(drop down lists) to insert VBScript code to load the options from the on-line mdb. That made it an asp page. The submit button sends the data to an asp page that validates and either rejects or adds the record to the on-line mdb. As John Clark points out, you can send email with plain vanilla HTML and generate a comma delimited file with FrontPage Extensions(check with web hosting company) and import that into Access. I use DSN-less ODBC connections to avoid interaction with the tech support people. That calls for a real IIS 5 rather than an imitation. Except for the email, you have to solve the problem of accessing the on-line data from your workstation. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 11:04 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Web form data into Access97 You have a few different choices, and which is appropriate depends on their preferences, your skill set, the ISP hosting the site, &c.

This is what I did. Liz suggested to map the drive on a local drive to mirror the client's. I couldn't use this suggestion because the location is not mapped. I have to use the network path. Drew's suggestion worked. I created the module and put a button on the main menu. I added a table with one boolean field called tableLinked. When the button is clicked, it's hidden after the tables have been relinked. I had to walk the client through the process of finding the backend, but it did save me a trip.

John, Indirect replication is the way to go. What this is is a setup where each system has a "drop box". A file with the changes are placed there and replication then takes place locally.

Eventually they will have a T1 connection between the to locations so I can just share the database or eventually upsize to SQLServer. Both sites have Hi Speed access to the net. So what's the best method in the short run. Replication through some type of FTP server (if even possible), VPN (Never really investigated this), Web Enable database (never did this and would probably need help from someone), Somehow connect to database via ODBC through the net (is that the same as web enabling the database?)

There have been problems with the original release of A2k losing its paper settings and that was supposedly patched in a service release. Also, if the printer the report was formatted for doesn't exist on that machine, the settings will return to the default, which is Letter. If you're talking about printer paper size, the system settings can be accessed through PrtDevMode using API calls in versions before AXP. AXP has a printer object that allows you to get the information without the direct API calls. We have a routine that uses the API calls you can find in the ADH and opens a report in design view in code and sets the paper settings before the report is printed, since our applications could be anywhere in the world and we can't control what printer they'll have.

References: Message-ID: <001701c2c89b$1b396eb0$6400000a@dogbert2k> I routinely create one monster detail query (now view) with all the fields in it and all the preassigned where conditions and then base a set or related reports on this view. I also have between 10 and 20 optional criteria the user can select - some single value some multi-value. I then base varying levels of summary, rollup and crosstab reports on this single "Base" query. I want a general method to pass the criteria to the "Base query" when I run a report based on a view that is solely based in this base query but may not necessarily need the criteria fields (eg. views with group by and sum functions. This is going against Sql 7 from an Access 2000 adp. Based on my understanding now, I would have to put all this into a stored procedure, have all the parameters in it, and with the Base table being a User Session Table (eg. #Name) being generated first based on the parameters and following TSql code referring to it. As this returns a recordset I assume I'd have to make the final sql code return a table. Any thoughts or hints on problems or ways to do this would be greatly appreciated. Tom ps. I'm using a product called DynamiCube from Data Dynamics and I've fallen in love with it. I've programmed a general data cube form and all the rest is data driven. It allows total end user futzing around and then they can export to excel or print a report. If you're in the market for this kind of power and flexibility I'd highly recommend taking a look at this product - it's about $500 per developer - no license or runtime fees.

I have had no trouble getting this type of app to work with several commercial web hosts. You are looking at Active Server Pages (ASP) to "front" the database on the web in the form of a web form. I do most of my ASP programming (Vbscript) directly in Notepad, but have also used FrontPage or Dreamweaver for the layout and then inserted the ASP code into the resulting document -- then changed the file extension to .ASP. In short, it is definitely doable. If it is a relatively small project and you are good at self training, I'd take it on and force myself to learn ASP. There are many good ASP devoted websites out there, and code for many basic tasks is readily available. ASP is certainly not the only approach, but it is one that I know works.

Yes, PCs running SQL Server are susceptible to Slammer infections. The whole world has learned that the hard way. But SQL Server's only part of the story. According to Microsoft, users of MSDE 2000 are also susceptible to Slammer infections. It would be helpful if he would spell it out to his readers that you have SQL Server if you have MSDE vX. He later rectifies this by adding this line as a sort of sarcasm. First, SQL Server, er, MSDE, is a full-fledged server. .... It requires all the care and feeding that any huge Microsoft product demands, and it's definitely not suitable for garden-variety Office users like you or me. You can't run MSDE on older hardware. Keeping it updated and working properly is almost a full-time job. With very rare exceptions, MSDE just ain't worth the effort, regardless of the vacuous arguments MS proffers to the contrary (e.g., http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/deployment/70/msdejet.asp?LN=en-us&gss nb=1 ). I'm not too convinced that he read the article he pointed to. After reading it, I did not get the impression that MS was specifically pushing MSDE very hard, in fact I thought they gave JET 4. a 'hyped' notation. While Jet 4 is the next version there have been weird inconsistencies vs. sticking with the Jet 3.5 version Second, MSDE is vulnerable to many (dare I say "most"?) How about he says ALL of the vulnerabilities that SQL Server has? I have to give him credit for pushing his e-zine w/compation, and even making it plainly obvious that if you run any number of applications you may unknowingly already be running Sql Server ala MSDE.. One thing he mentioned in this article was that Access 2002 (XP) does not let you administer your copy of SQL Server as it did in 2k is this true? I suspect he overlooked it because he also said that in Access2000 you couldn't run a backup, which all he had to do was go to Tools > Utilities > Backup from the menu in an Access ADP.... :o) -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hollis,Virginia" To: Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 12:02 PM Subject: RE: [AccessD] SQL Worm : Did you read the latest from Woodys Office Watch, "WOW #8.03 - Latest worm : isn't just for servers"?

The website is currently hosted by a hosting company (imagine that), and I imagine they will keep this, but again, I don't really know for sure. I spoke w/the woman who is in charge of this in that department yesterday...she is actualy their web master...and she said that they cannot use a webform. This is because they run this data through a query and pass it into a program called "Mailers +", to do their mailings (they send out travel guides, fishing guides, etc.), and apparently they end up w/more work if they use customer typed data. The Mailers + program will kick out an address as bad, if they type out "street", "rural route", "road", etc.. It requires abbreviations. She may be shading things a bit too, because her job may be in jeopardy with this move. They already have a form on their website (http://www.niagara-usa.com), so I'm thinking it might not be that difficult. I am going to step away for now. My boss doesn't seem to be too gung-ho for me to be involved, and I'm actually swamped for the next few months. I'm going to call the guy today, and tell him that it may be possible to do, but there are issues that may prevent this. He will have to work more closely with the woman I spoke with...he has been told this by three different people, including myself, and he seems to be avoiding her. I thank everyone for their input though...as usual it was very helpful. I actually want to get into a project like this at some point, to gain the experience. Thanks again! John W Clark >>> DWUTKA at marlow.com 01/30/03 02:56PM >>> Where is your database? Is it on the hosting company's webserver, or is it local to you? If it is local to you, that may be interesting, because you'd be pushing data back to your network. Not impossible, just a pain to setup. If the database is on the webserver itself, it's a snap, using ASP (if your Hosting company provides ASP capability). Drew -----Original Message----- From: John Clark [mailto:John.Clark at niagaracounty.com] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 8:27 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Web form data into Access97 About two years ago, I wrote a program for our Tourism department that tracks their 800 line requests. Their operators type information into this program from phone calls, messages, and their web site. They do all of this manually, which makes sense for the phone calls, but it seems that there should be a way to replace Email with a web form, and have that information piped into the program...I'll stop short of saying I know there is, because I have absolutely no experience w/this. Now, this department is being "taken over" by an "outside" agency...budget problems have prompted the removal of a couple of depts. and they are being adopted by other sources. This is supposedly a good thing for the county, so I was given as a contact to aide in the migration...basically just answering questions. I guess my boss has setup some sort of support contract w/these folks. Back to the actual question...I spoke to the new director of this agency, yesterday, and he was surprised that they enter information from Email directly. He asked if there wasn't a way to pick the data out of the Email and put it into the DB. I told him that, what they should look into was to have a form on their website, and this data could be put into the DB, w/out human intervention. I did preface this by pointing out that I did not know how to do this. Is this possible? What does it take? What does it take considering the DB is already existant and wasn't programmed for this? Also, they currently use FrontPage for their site, which is hosted by an outside provider. If it can be done, but not w/FrontPage, I just need to tell them this. As it stands now, my involvement ends with a recommendation. But, if it is doable, I am thinking of offering my services. It is just that I am so busy right now, that I don't want to get in over my head either.

Visit http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd Yes this is because the default setting is to make your email visible on the roster list. No worries though it's not like you can't remove your name from the list, but the principal is the same. The system autogenerates a password for you, since you don't know it when you click on your email address it will send you the link and your system created password in order to let you change you options and you password as well. Once in your user options go to the section labled Conceal yourself from subscriber list. This in effect will hide your name from the main roster page that is visible by any spam-bot picking up email addresses. True the email address is not displayed as "email at server.com" but 'email at server.com" is not too tought for a spam-bot to clean up... so if you don't like your email address listed publicly out on the worldwideweb run dont walk to change your user settings http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd and by the look of things, hardly anyone cares or knows about this vulnerability... -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com From MarkBoyd at McBeeAssociates.com Fri Jan 31 10:43:01 2003 From: MarkBoyd at McBeeAssociates.com (Mark Boyd) Date: Fri Jan 31 10:43:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] 'Find' Dialog Box Message-ID: <42DE35C7D61279419C166543CD42F405C9AF@mail2k.mcbassoc.com> Is there a way to make the 'Find' dialog box disappear immediately after it finds a record?

I think it would be a good experience in group development. I also think that working through a process in team development will help me manage projects better even when I'm on my own. How to get the balance between planning, documenting and acutally getting the job done has been a tough one for me. I've worked for a government agency who "got religion" about planning, quality and control. They planned and controlled the H*** out of small projects but had trouble actually getting quality jobs delivered. I was at a meeting where they debated how to name Access Indexes for 40 minutes. Their QA gal is the Princess of Darkness personified and basically acts as a Uber Program Designer - after the fact and with limited understanding of the customers needs. But she's definetely got the program under control. We won't even talk about the process of getting paid. It hurts too much. I have a real rough ap that takes a swipe at doing this but haven't done anything with it for a year or so. If elected I will serve and if asked I will donate this app for a starting point.

Visit http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd Yes this is because the default setting is to make your email visible on the roster list. No worries though it's not like you can't remove your name from the list, but the principal is the same. The system autogenerates a password for you, since you don't know it when you click on your email address it will send you the link and your system created password in order to let you change you options and you password as well. Once in your user options go to the section labled Conceal yourself from subscriber list. This in effect will hide your name from the main roster page that is visible by any spam-bot picking up email addresses. True the email address is not displayed as "email at server.com" but 'email at server.com" is not too tought for a spam-bot to clean up... so if you don't like your email address listed publicly out on the worldwideweb run dont walk to change your user settings http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd and by the look of things, hardly anyone cares or knows about this vulnerability... -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com From my.lists at verizon.net Fri Jan 31 10:58:01 2003 From: my.lists at verizon.net (Francisco H Tapia) Date: Fri Jan 31 10:58:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Email spam risk Message-ID: <007801c2c94a$04e7faf0$b615010a@FHTAPIA> Forgot to mention, that one particular reason I jumped on this soap-box was that if you go into the archives, The author's address is concealed with the typical AccessD at databaseadvisors link.

Anyone can see this list, it's public, heck Google may have already cached it!... I see that you are listed twice on the list of emails... and a simple scan will show you that I am no longer on that list since I went through the steps of concealing my address from this main list.

Although I joined the BEU team at the latter stages, I will say without hesitation that it was probably one of the best investments of time I have EVER made. I learned a lot about working as a team. Not to mention I learned how much I DON'T know about Access. (Andy, Reuben, no comments about how well I can break code from you two :-) I say if anyone is sitting on the fence trying to decide if they want to help, I say do it. The rewards are well worth it. The time commitment isn't all consuming. There are peaks and valley in the time required, just like life, and everyone understood if you were quite for a while. As a friend of mine like to say, Life sometimes gets in the way of fun. And it was fun. No Lembit, I don't want to take on the task of leading a project, just yet. Maybe when we get BEU to the stage we want it to get to. Just as a side note, I have a Word Template that I used for the documentation for the BEU that whom ever writes the Docs for the DBA Code Library can use if they wish. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at sympatico.ca I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

IT seems as if most already put "keeper" code in them as it is when they see useful code. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I believe it is best to keep it as is and have a group of people that update a master copy that is made available for download on the accessD website. This way anyone who wants it can download it and use it as is, through the native engine. The only trouble is, who will update it, and who chooses what is good enough to put in the db? Some advance programmers might think that something is not worthwhile to place in this db, OTOH, what if it gets filled with useless stuff? Will they be simply cutting and pasting code from their project that works, using their variables and filed names: Me!lstCompaniesFound.RowSource = "EXEC stp_002A_CompanyNameSearch '" & Me!txtCompanyNameEntry.Text & "'" or will the code be cleaned up as such: Me!YourListBoxNameHere.RowSource = "EXEC YourStoredProcedureNameHere '" & Me!YourEntryTextBox.Text & "'" Will we be asking for full commenting (No War and Peace) of code? just a few thoughts, David McAfee -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Lembit Soobik Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 7:58 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Code Librarian /was Thanks Sure, Pedro, a great idea.

It's not perfect or complete, but I'm guessing that I have invested more time in codelib than other listers, so I will offer my current database as the starting point. There's nothing at all wrong with the CL UI. Well maybe there is, but it works pretty well. However there are two distinct versions, one of which is loaded as an add-in and the other a stand-alone program written I would guess in VB. Before we run off and write something, may I suggest/ask: 1. I don't know how to get around the password issue. (I.e. if you try to open CodeLib.mdb from Access it demands a password. Does anyone know the password? That would be an excellent starting point. Then I could reverse-engineer the db -- not that its structure is difficult to deduce, but simply in the interests of preserving column names and sizes and so on.) 2. The major feature lacking in the stand-alone version is the ability to import and export from various instances of codelib.mdb. Minor features lacking include printing facilities (i.e. print selected fragment(s), topic(s) &c.) 3. I'm not sure precisely when MS switched to the integrated version from the stand-alone version, but I prefer the stand-alone version. Incidentally, I have used it to create various *lib.mdb files for Access, XML, VB, PHP and Perl. In fact, this is the beauty of the product. You can store any kind of code in it that you want (but it only makes sense to create several MDBs each devoted to a particular language). All this said, I'd better fire the sucker up right now and start cleaning up, documenting &c. the snippets I have collected to date, before one of you asks for what I've got already!

Sick Of Spam? Donate It To Science SpamArchive.org Wants To Build Database Of Junk E-Mail Messages Kim Ngan Nguyen, Staff Writer POSTED: 9:11 p.m. MST January 29, 2003 UPDATED: 11:01 a.m. MST January 30, 2003 DENVER -- Do you hate all that spam that clutters your inbox? Well, you can donate it to a good cause. Believe it or not there is a company out there that wants your spam -- all of it. The security company has set up SpamArchive.org and they're compiling a database of every type of junk message so that programmers can test out new anti-spam tools. The reason is: spammers are tricky. They are always changing techniques so even though you've set up an e-mail filter one day, the next day you get more unsolicited e-mail that has found a way around the filter. People working on learning spammers' techniques need a huge database of junk email so that they can test out programs that identify spam and remove it without getting rid of legitimate e-mail (which is one reason why some people don't even set up e-mail filters). So basically, what the site SpamArchive.org wants you to do is instead of just deleting your spam, forward it to them (as an attachment) and they will scrub out your e-mail address and keep that spam for testing purposes. And this database can't come any sooner for a lot of us. A recent survey showed that spam now accounts for 40 percent of all e-mail. It was just less than 10 percent last year.

Why create a public when there's no need? Create a static instead and call it whenever you need it; no need for a public. I can't think of a reason why you might want to do it, but the same technique could easily work in ADP. Grab the current connection and store it in a static var in a static func. Then retrieve it whenever you need it.

Hours per table = MF * NF * NR * EDF Add all the hours per table to get total hours MF = Mess factor (1 or greater) (How messy this junk is. Can you do a quick review and do batch corrects? Can you do some batch converts. Do you have to manually decipher multiple fields entered into one field and parse them to correct fields?) NF = Number of fields you have to check. NR = Number of rows you have to check. EDF = Experimentally determined factor (Theoretically less than 1) In practice it could take 1/2 day to weeks. It depends. I usually work with knowledgable users to analize, list the types of problems, and figure out how to correct each one. I rely on the users to do the manual deciphering/correcting (they know the data a lot better than you ever will.) You might try providing a sample table with list of problems to correct and get group feedback on times. However, since the monkeys won in our recent group joke contest you might just tell the customer you'll have to work by the hour as this kind of stuff can not be estimated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Barrows" To: Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 2:10 PM Subject: RE: [AccessD] Estimating Help > OK, I think I have continued to confuse everyone. > > All I want / need to know is if anyone has a formula for estimating time > to clean the garbage out of the database tables.

Although I joined the BEU team at the latter stages, I will say without hesitation that it was probably one of the best investments of time I have EVER made. I learned a lot about working as a team. Not to mention I learned how much I DON'T know about Access. (Andy, Reuben, no comments about how well I can break code from you two :-) I say if anyone is sitting on the fence trying to decide if they want to help, I say do it. The rewards are well worth it. The time commitment isn't all consuming. There are peaks and valley in the time required, just like life, and everyone understood if you were quite for a while. As a friend of mine like to say, Life sometimes gets in the way of fun. And it was fun. No Lembit, I don't want to take on the task of leading a project, just yet. Maybe when we get BEU to the stage we want it to get to. Just as a side note, I have a Word Template that I used for the documentation for the BEU that whom ever writes the Docs for the DBA Code Library can use if they wish. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at sympatico.ca I used to have a handle on life, but it broke. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com From dejpolsys at hotmail.com Fri Jan 31 15:54:01 2003 From: dejpolsys at hotmail.com (William Hindman) Date: Fri Jan 31 15:54:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Estimating Help Message-ID: ...by "garbage" I assume you mean incorrectly entered data such as names, addresses, etc ...and that once the cleanup is completed, then you will archive the oldest data. ...garbage cleanup is the hardest thing I do for new clients ...they want "perfection" and that is often damn hard to achieve ...so I look at their data ...really look at it ...then I make a WAG as to how many hours it will take me ...then I quadruple that WAG ...because the WAG is ALWAYS low ...and although I want the business, I have bills to pay. ...one suggestion ...I've found that using Dave Bell's Proper Case mdb (www.colbyconsulting.com) is really a major help in this kind of work ...forget its name and look at all its capable of doing in a garbage filled db ...HTH :) William >From: "Jeff Barrows" >Reply-To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com >To: >Subject: RE: [AccessD] Estimating Help >Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 07:09:05 -0600 > >Sorry, I should have been a little more specific.

For instance, I have a category in my CodeLib that I call Information and I put snippets of things in there that otherwise I may not remember, like the method for getting the hWnd of a control or how to use the Recordset.Name property of a DAO recordset to retrieve the SQL used to create it. Or we might have a separate database for DAO code and one for ADO code. Of course, then we'd need a way to cross index them ....

IT seems as if most already put "keeper" code in them as it is when they see useful code. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I believe it is best to keep it as is and have a group of people that update a master copy that is made available for download on the accessD website. This way anyone who wants it can download it and use it as is, through the native engine. The only trouble is, who will update it, and who chooses what is good enough to put in the db? Some advance programmers might think that something is not worthwhile to place in this db, OTOH, what if it gets filled with useless stuff? Will they be simply cutting and pasting code from their project that works, using their variables and filed names: Me!lstCompaniesFound.RowSource = "EXEC stp_002A_CompanyNameSearch '" & Me!txtCompanyNameEntry.Text & "'" or will the code be cleaned up as such: Me!YourListBoxNameHere.RowSource = "EXEC YourStoredProcedureNameHere '" & Me!YourEntryTextBox.Text & "'" Will we be asking for full commenting (No War and Peace) of code? just a few thoughts, David McAfee -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Lembit Soobik Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 7:58 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Code Librarian /was Thanks Sure, Pedro, a great idea.

The CLBs you create yourself are NOT password protected and you can open them in Access XP. The 2000 version ran as an add-in or from the executable and the MS-provided database was password protected. It allowed you to open only one codelib at a time, but you could choose the one to open. The XP version, once you get used to the differences, is a vastly superior application. The XP version also allows you to use multiple codelibs at the same time, and as in the previous version you can create your own. Plus there is a CodeLibViewer that can open a codelib for those who don't have the app installed. Charlotte Foust -----Original Message----- From: Arthur Fuller [mailto:artful at rogers.com] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 11:07 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Code Librarian /was Thanks Allow me to jump in, since I originated this thread :-) I volunteer to head the development team on this project, and to provide the initial database offering. It's not perfect or complete, but I'm guessing that I have invested more time in codelib than other listers, so I will offer my current database as the starting point. There's nothing at all wrong with the CL UI. Well maybe there is, but it works pretty well. However there are two distinct versions, one of which is loaded as an add-in and the other a stand-alone program written I would guess in VB. Before we run off and write something, may I suggest/ask: 1. I don't know how to get around the password issue. (I.e. if you try to open CodeLib.mdb from Access it demands a password. Does anyone know the password? That would be an excellent starting point. Then I could reverse-engineer the db -- not that its structure is difficult to deduce, but simply in the interests of preserving column names and sizes and so on.) 2. The major feature lacking in the stand-alone version is the ability to import and export from various instances of codelib.mdb. Minor features lacking include printing facilities (i.e. print selected fragment(s), topic(s) &c.) 3. I'm not sure precisely when MS switched to the integrated version from the stand-alone version, but I prefer the stand-alone version. Incidentally, I have used it to create various *lib.mdb files for Access, XML, VB, PHP and Perl. In fact, this is the beauty of the product. You can store any kind of code in it that you want (but it only makes sense to create several MDBs each devoted to a particular language). All this said, I'd better fire the sucker up right now and start cleaning up, documenting &c. the snippets I have collected to date, before one of you asks for what I've got already!

Most of the time i am a Cytologist who works in a Pedro, Let me start out by saying that I am not trying to push you into doing anything you don't want to do, but consider this for a moment. I am a member of the BEU Team, but I am not a full time DB developer either. I am an Admin Assistant, so don't let your "position" hold you back from helping out if you can. Everyone here is understanding and helpful to folks that are learning.

Why not make a networked library. You could have a multi-server service (I would be willing to help build and host), that holds 'public' code. Then have the client program store both, public and private code. The servers would be used to sync everyone. Having multiple servers would prevent problems if one server goes offline.

Why not make a networked library. You could have a multi-server service (I would be willing to help build and host), that holds 'public' code. Then have the client program store both, public and private code. The servers would be used to sync everyone. Having multiple servers would prevent problems if one server goes offline.

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

I'll be glad to help out. I'm sending this to you and the list, since I will put some general info in here which can only help anyone with understanding how a network works. If you have more specific questions John, feel free to email me offline. (use dwutka at marlow.com or drew at wolfwares.com). If anyone else reading this doesn't want to learn a bit, just stop reading. Okay, to begin with, TCP/IP is Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, which is the protocol used to communicate through the internet. TCP/IP can also be used within a LAN. So how does it work? Well, to make a network protocol work, the first thing you need to do is create a method of identifying each machine on the network. With TCP/IP, that 'id' is the IP Address. Your IP address is made up of 4 bytes, or quads. (192.168.0.1, each of those numbers is going to be within a byte's range, 0 to 255). Now, with IP Addresses, Numbers get assigned from the left to the right. What that means is, an organization that requires a lot of addresses may get the entire range of 146.xxx.xxx.xxx, which is a ton of addresses (255^3), where as a smaller company may get 156.134.21.xxx which is only 255 addresses, and of course and individual user will usually only get 1 IP Address. There are several 'reserved' addresses, which are predesignated for various functions. For internal networks, or LANs, 10.10.xxx.xxx and 192.168.xxx.xxx are set aside. What does that mean. That means that there can be many computers turned on with the IP address of 192.168.0.2, but none of them would be allowed to access the internet directly, since that is a LAN specified IP address and that would place multiple machines with the same 'id' in direct contact (which is not allowed to happen, otherwise TCP/IP would not work) John, I am sure you knew that much, just providing a little background. Now there are two other 'properties' that are in direct relation to the IP address. The first is the subnet mask. The subnet mask refers to the 'subnet' that a computer is on. 255.255.255.0 means that the subnet for 192.168.0.3 is all IP addresses with 192.168.0.xxx. The way to 'figure' a subnet, is to use bit comparison against the subnet mask. 255 is all bits turned on, so that number is an exact match. 0 is all bits off, so that entire quad is a variable. In between that, you have 254, which means the last bit is variable, etc. What makes the subnet mask important, is that when a computer needs to 'scan' it's surroundings, it uses the subnet mask to determine what addresses to talk to. (JC...important to remember this...) A good example of how this effects things is an issue I have seen with Windows 98 machines. Our subnet at work is 255.255.254.0, which means the internal IP addresses are 192.168.0.xxx and 192.168.1.xxx. The problem on the 98 machines is that sometimes we get a NIC that set's it's subnet to 255.255.0.0. That is roughly 65,000 addresses. With that many addresses to scan, network connections time out. So what makes this important, is that your subnet needs to be large enough to accomodate the numbe of computers it is going to support, and no larger, because a larger subnet takes longer to 'scan'. The next important item is the gateway, which is the Address of the router for a subnet. You must have a router 'in front' of every subnet. A router acts as a phone switch box between subnets. The gateway must be in the same subnet as the local IP address (unless you are setting up a router...that's a different story all together). A router 'knows' what is on either side of it, so it will either pass packets back into the subnet it covers, or send them off to another subnet, based upon the addressing. Now that you know the basics of TCP/IP, it's time for the 'support' processes, which is where you are running into problems JC. The first support item is DHCP. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When it comes to your TCP/IP settings mentioned above, there are two ways to set them. Manually enter the settings, which is refered to as a static IP, or getting them from a DHCP server. How does a DHCP server work? It's actually pretty simple. It has a 'cache' of addresses that it is allowed to 'hand out'. It also has a 'settings structure' that it gives to it's clients. That structure dictates the subnet, and gateway properties. It can also include items such as DNS and WINS settings (and more). So here's the trick, how do you get an IP address without having an IP Address to communicate with. What happens is your computer broadcasts a DHCP request. It's essentially 'protocolless'. It does this by using your machine's MAC address (which is the unique ID of your network card. IP Addresses are used because there is no rhyme or reason to a MAC address, so it would be a real pain to 'route' between subnets based on MAC Addresses, so TCP/IP overlays the MAC Address. Sort of like the difference between using a phone number versus genetic code. You can absolutely find the right person with genetic code, but when you find the first genome, you don't have a specific direction to head in, where as a phone number starts with an area code or country code, which automatically sends you to the right region.) This too is important, because a DHCP server can be setup with 'reservations' based on a MAC Address. What that means, is that when a request comes in to a DHCP server, from a client machine, the DHCP server looks at the MAC address, and if there is a reservation for that address, it hands out the assigned IP Address for the reservation. If it does not have a reservation, it hands out any 'available' address. This allows you to use a DHCP setup, while maintaining relatively 'static' IP addresses. The advantage to this, is that you can change these 'static' IPs from the server, instead of having to go to each machine. The last thing you would want to know about a DHCP server, is that the 'broadcast' message that a client machine sends out, is broadcast only within a subnet. In other words, all switches and hubs will pass the signal to all of their ports, but a router will not let it pass. Thus, you must have a DHCP server 'within' both your TCP/IP subnet, and physical subnet. It's also why many routers have DHCP capabilities. There is certainly a lot more, but that's all you need to know to fix your problem. You need to setup your DHCP server to hand out not only the right addresses, but the right information for those addresses (subnet and gateway). If I remember right JC, you talked about setting up a Windows 2000 server on your home network. Did you do that. If so, you can just drop using the DHCP in your router, and instead turn on the DHCP service on your server. Windows 2000's DHCP server is as easy to setup as choosing your wallpaper. Setting up a DHCP service within a router requires reading the manual, and learning to program your router. Each router is different. Some have handy 'web' interfaces (just try http://192.168.0.1), or whatever your gateway is. If your router will let you modify it's settings through the web, you just need to find the DHCP settings, and setup the IP Address Pool (which should include the 'settings' for that pool). Technically a router's DHCP is going to be a little faster then a servers, because it is a hard wired service, instead of a software service. But we are talking nanoseconds, and if your router is a pain to setup, those nanoseconds are worthless against an easy GUI option. Also, if you have a Windows 2000 Server machine running, you can setup your own WINS and DNS services. Having your own DNS server is EXTREMELY handy. For example....when my DSL is working, I just open my browser and type email in the address, and i am brought to our Outlook Web Access site. Intranet brings me to our Intranet site. This is done, by setting up my own DNS 'aliases'. Any who, if none of this helps, or you want some more specific help, either email me, or if you want to go the Windows 2000 Server route, give me a call. (Actually, if you email me with your #, I'll call you on my cell phone...weekend minutes are practically free) I can walk you through the settings step by step. (My DSL might be down (actually it will hopefully be up tomorrow), but my server is still running, so I have a running resource to compare settings with. (I set it all up myself...I'm actually running Active Directory, which I HIGHLY recommend, but it's not for the faint of heart! ). Drew -----Original Message----- From: John W. Colby To: AccessD Sent: 1/24/03 10:11 AM Subject: [AccessD] OT: network help Guys, I am having network troubles at my home office. Here's the situation. I have a small network running on a dlink DL-704 router. WWW connection through my cable, thus a cable modem. The router is the dhcp server. Internal addresses were 192.168.0.x with the router being 192.168.0.1. Understand I am not a network guy so I can spout this stuff but you should not mistakenly conclude that I understand it. The problems started when I tried to set up a Remote Access connection to a client system. I could get the virtual channel to run but couldn't get to the "server" on that system which was set (internally to THEIR network) to 192.168.0.10. The problem is that their network and mine were both using 192.168.0.xxx. The network guy that set everything up for the client asked me to change my system to 192.168.1.xxx which I did. Everything came to a crashing halt on my system, at least in terms of getting to the internet. In fact weird things would happen like... some chat clients worked (yahoo and aol), others didn't (msn). On closer investigation it seems that the default gateway is still set to 192.168.0.1. Since everything else is set to 192.168.1.xxx (including the router - 192.168.1.1) it appears that this default gateway number is causing havoc. We could not find where this number is assigned, IOW how to change it (default gateway) from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1. The "answer" was to go set the TCP/IP properties manually to "use the following address" instead of "Obtain an IP address automatically". Once I go in there and set the info manually, including the "default gateway", everything works. However this now means that I have to manually configure all of my computers since when they obtain automatically, they end up with the default gateway address of 192.168.0.1 which doesn't work. This is going to cause problems when I hook up my tivo box which I can't get at the settings to set manually. So... the question is, where the hell is this Default Gateway setting configured. It seems like it should be part of the router configuration but I simply cannot find that setting in the router's setup stuff anywhere. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

On closer investigation it seems that the default gateway is still set to 192.168.0.1. Since everything else is set to 192.168.1.xxx (including the router - 192.168.1.1) it appears that this default gateway number is causing havoc. We could not find where this number is assigned, IOW how to change it (default gateway) from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1. The "answer" was to go set the TCP/IP properties manually to "use the following address" instead of "Obtain an IP address automatically". Once I go in there and set the info manually, including the "default gateway", everything works. However this now means that I have to manually configure all of my computers since when they obtain automatically, they end up with the default gateway address of 192.168.0.1 which doesn't work. This is going to cause problems when I hook up my tivo box which I can't get at the settings to set manually. So... the question is, where the hell is this Default Gateway setting configured. It seems like it should be part of the router configuration but I simply cannot find that setting in the router's setup stuff anywhere. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view. Greg Smith Programmer/Trainer weeden1949 at hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Myke Myers" To: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com From ricknalley at nalleyweb.com Tue Jan 28 17:13:32 2003 From: ricknalley at nalleyweb.com (Rick) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:13:32 2003 Subject: [AccessD] (no subject) Message-ID: <010601c2c664$3d5e88b0$0400a8c0@mainsys> Test, is the list still alive.

In-Reply-To: <000e01c2c3ee$e3bb2240$6501a8c0@tbig3> Message-ID: I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection.

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine.

Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

(315) 699-3443 jimdettman at earthlink.net Hi John, <> Yeah, that would put the breaks on everything and something you probably didn't need to do. <> First, I'd go back to the way everything was, as you didn't need to change it in the first place. <> There are two ways to setup a network: with a DHCP server and without. Without one you need to manually specify the IP address, the gateway, and the DNS servers in Windows. With a DHCP server, you don't do any of that manually. The PC at startup broadcasts a DHCP request and the DHCP server (in this case your router) supplies all that info. In Windows, the only thing you need to do is to set it for "Obtain IP address automatically". In your router setup, the router is has two addresses that can be assigned: the internal network and WAN port. The WAN port IP is your external address (used to talk to the rest of the world) and something which your ISP either sets dynamically or is static. The internal address is the one you want to change and the one that is supplied to the DHCP client as the Gateway Address. So your not looking for "Gateway" but "internal IP address" or "Network IP". This is a fundamental setting for the router. When you change it, you'll loose communication with the router until you reboot your PC. As to what I mentioned earlier, you didn't need to change all this because the address on the remote end at the client is not the one you need to be using. The address you gave is for private networks only and not a public one. Your client has a router/firewall in place and NAT (network address translation) is being used, same as in your router. The 192.168.0.x is a private address and neither of you will be able to find each other on the Internet using that address. The addresses you need to be working with are the WAN addresses set in your routers. If neither of you have static addresses with your ISP, then you'll need to get them or use a 3rd party such as www.dyndns.org to establish communications. Fill me in with what your trying to do and I'll help further if I can, but for now, set things back to the way they were. -----Original Message----- From: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of John W. Colby Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 11:11 AM To: AccessD Subject: [AccessD] OT: network help Guys, I am having network troubles at my home office. Here's the situation. I have a small network running on a dlink DL-704 router. WWW connection through my cable, thus a cable modem. The router is the dhcp server. Internal addresses were 192.168.0.x with the router being 192.168.0.1. Understand I am not a network guy so I can spout this stuff but you should not mistakenly conclude that I understand it. The problems started when I tried to set up a Remote Access connection to a client system. I could get the virtual channel to run but couldn't get to the "server" on that system which was set (internally to THEIR network) to 192.168.0.10. The problem is that their network and mine were both using 192.168.0.xxx. The network guy that set everything up for the client asked me to change my system to 192.168.1.xxx which I did. Everything came to a crashing halt on my system, at least in terms of getting to the internet. In fact weird things would happen like... some chat clients worked (yahoo and aol), others didn't (msn). On closer investigation it seems that the default gateway is still set to 192.168.0.1. Since everything else is set to 192.168.1.xxx (including the router - 192.168.1.1) it appears that this default gateway number is causing havoc. We could not find where this number is assigned, IOW how to change it (default gateway) from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1. The "answer" was to go set the TCP/IP properties manually to "use the following address" instead of "Obtain an IP address automatically". Once I go in there and set the info manually, including the "default gateway", everything works. However this now means that I have to manually configure all of my computers since when they obtain automatically, they end up with the default gateway address of 192.168.0.1 which doesn't work. This is going to cause problems when I hook up my tivo box which I can't get at the settings to set manually. So... the question is, where the hell is this Default Gateway setting configured. It seems like it should be part of the router configuration but I simply cannot find that setting in the router's setup stuff anywhere. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors.

Martin _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Tue Jan 28 17:22:01 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:22:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2185.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Myke: I had (have?) the same type of issue with a county office which was using a split database, the FE residing one each user's desktop, the BE on their main server, which was shared with other offices and could become quite busy. They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view. Greg Smith Programmer/Trainer weeden1949 at hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Myke Myers" To: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more.

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru Tue Jan 28 17:31:08 2003 From: shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru (Shamil Salakhetdinov) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:31:08 2003 Subject: [AccessD] TEST References: <001301c2c65c$2c780830$b615010a@FHTAPIA> Message-ID: <003501c2c724$072fabf0$b501010a@DAISY.local> PONG! :) (It's alive again!)

I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

I am migrating an A97DB from Win95 to Win2000Pro and everything is working fine EXCEPT when printing. This particular Db prints LOTS of single page reports in quick succession in varying quantities and I use the PRTDEVMODE properties to change parameters such as quantity, tray to print to etc. My printers tend to slip into LETTER size when they should be in A4... This happens intermittently and may happen on the first report or the 50th ....of course the printer drivers default is LETTER before it is set up and I think there is some sort of error when setting the DEVMODE properties causing the driver to fall back to its defaults .... Has anyone else experienced this behaviour in Win2000Pro?

I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine. Michael -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]Im Auftrag von Myke Myers Gesendet: Freitag, 24. Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From DWUTKA at marlow.com Tue Jan 28 17:55:56 2003 From: DWUTKA at marlow.com (Drew Wutka) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:55:56 2003 Subject: [AccessD] MiniCalendar Wish List Request...

I am migrating an A97DB from Win95 to Win2000Pro and everything is working fine EXCEPT when printing. This particular Db prints LOTS of single page reports in quick succession in varying quantities and I use the PRTDEVMODE properties to change parameters such as quantity, tray to print to etc. My printers tend to slip into LETTER size when they should be in A4... This happens intermittently and may happen on the first report or the 50th ....of course the printer drivers default is LETTER before it is set up and I think there is some sort of error when setting the DEVMODE properties causing the driver to fall back to its defaults .... Has anyone else experienced this behaviour in Win2000Pro? It works fine on Win95 (but of course that has its own set of problems ) Any help greatly appreciated Regards Tom Keatley _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Tue Jan 28 17:59:06 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:59:06 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2229.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Dear group, my app is beeing developed on a German version of MS Access. I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

Sorry, but I have had several request for one. It's not going to be a 'clock' per se, but rather a 'Time' data entry ability. (Since you are using a calendar to enter a date, why force the user to manually enter a time?) It will all be optional though, and shouldn't use resources that aren't requested.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly.

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

And free to use for anything else than a SAP solution: SAP DB can be used free of charge in non-SAP environments. There are various Support Models offered for SAP DB. If you use SAP?DB as a database system for SAP solutions, a maintenance contract is required. Thus, if are looking for a heavy duty ERP engine but don't have the budget for Oracle/MSSQL/DB2 pay this very neat site (including full on-line documentation) a visit: http://www.sapdb.org/ You can even order a cd-rom with the complete site and all downloads free of charge (pick the link CD-ROM). /gustav _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Tue Jan 28 18:09:44 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Tue Jan 28 18:09:44 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2245.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> testing new list Lembit Soobik lembit.soobik at t-online.de _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From harkins at iglou.com Tue Jan 28 18:10:02 2003 From: harkins at iglou.com (Susan Harkins) Date: Tue Jan 28 18:10:02 2003 Subject: [AccessD] internal recordset field names References: <2F8793082E00D4119A1700B0D0216BF801D81EEF@main2.marlow.com> Message-ID: <00e201c2c72a$a28a4640$9ee6ffcc@SusanOne> Drew -- thanks -- I knew that.

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view.

There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 02:57:04 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 02:57:04 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2350.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Myke, all data traffic between frontend and backend is going over the network, so I would doubt that splitting the backend would cause better performance. But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine. Michael -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]Im Auftrag von Myke Myers Gesendet: Freitag, 24. Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view.

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance! I know one of you genius' out there will know what I'm doing wrong immediately!

And free to use for anything else than a SAP solution: SAP DB can be used free of charge in non-SAP environments. There are various Support Models offered for SAP DB.

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:15:19 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:15:19 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D23CA.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Given the talk about worms don't forget to change your MSDE SysAdmin account password Otherwise if you connect SQL to the Net everyone and his dog will be in there.

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves. HTH Jim -----Original Message----- From: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Myke Myers Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 1:24 PM To: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view. Greg Smith Programmer/Trainer weeden1949 at hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Myke Myers" To: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:29:18 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:29:18 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D23FC.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> there are a number of free firewalls out there, I used to swear by tiny's personal firewall, it seems many people like ZonAlarm but I've had much better success and flexability with Sygate's personal firewall... if you upgrade (only 29.99 IIRC) they give you a whole arsenal worth of tools but they are not really needed in the sense that you can do block and allow anything you want. -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 10:41 AM Subject: [AccessD] SQL WOrm : Just for info : : You cannot AFAIK patch the evual of SQL Server 2000.

If you use SAP?DB as a database system for SAP solutions, a maintenance contract is required. Thus, if are looking for a heavy duty ERP engine but don't have the budget for Oracle/MSSQL/DB2 pay this very neat site (including full on-line documentation) a visit: http://www.sapdb.org/ You can even order a cd-rom with the complete site and all downloads free of charge (pick the link CD-ROM). /gustav _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:47:33 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:47:33 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2282.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Your test seems to have broken it, Martin!

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

I am migrating an A97DB from Win95 to Win2000Pro and everything is working fine EXCEPT when printing. This particular Db prints LOTS of single page reports in quick succession in varying quantities and I use the PRTDEVMODE properties to change parameters such as quantity, tray to print to etc. My printers tend to slip into LETTER size when they should be in A4... This happens intermittently and may happen on the first report or the 50th ....of course the printer drivers default is LETTER before it is set up and I think there is some sort of error when setting the DEVMODE properties causing the driver to fall back to its defaults .... Has anyone else experienced this behaviour in Win2000Pro? It works fine on Win95 (but of course that has its own set of problems ) Any help greatly appreciated Regards Tom Keatley _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:49:00 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:49:00 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2291.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Well, sorta - most of the messages are coming through with this Message not deliverable subject line.

I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:50:51 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:50:51 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2285.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> PING -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:51:24 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:51:24 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D228A.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> > So I guess this issue is something OS specific (Win2000 SP2).

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine. Michael -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]Im Auftrag von Myke Myers Gesendet: Freitag, 24. Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

In many cases we have been able to divide projects up among several contributors. In this case, the last step of our transfer from the previous to the new host had to be done by Bro, who has just recently got a new pretty tough job and has to work hard for it. Many of us do not understand what it takes to transfer such a list, and why there are delays involved which are pure technical nature. On some things you can work as hard as you like, it wont go faster. This total effort of selecting new hosts, saving the address lists, saving the web site, organizing who can do what when etc, was shared between a large number of list members like Bro, Kathryn, Seth, Martin, Donna, Pamela, and many more. I myself have seen how little I know about that, yesterday I have even been so naive to think I could send a message to you all, explaining the status, but I got a respons that I cannot send more than 100 msgs per day....

Then you can use a variety of methods to populate that property: set it directly from the calling form, set it using the openargs argument, etc. I generally do that with my forms so that when the form closes, I can simply navigate back to the the CalledFrom object. That approach allows you to do some fairly complex navigation with multiple objects open in a database.

I know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just just not happy." "And why is that Eve?" Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples." "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you". "Man? What is that Lord?" A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly when he is aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he will also need your advice to think properly." "Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's the catch Lord?" "Well, you can have him on one condition." "And what's that Lord?"

Message-ID: <2F8793082E00D4119A1700B0D0216BF801D81F0D@main2.marlow.com> Okay, the easiest way to update would be an append. However, I am a code head. So I was hit with this problem about 6 months ago. They wanted to 're-number' an Autonumber field, and the developer had switched to Numbers, and made the change, and wanted to put the 'new' numbers into the table. So I whipped up a little code for this. It uses two recordsets. rsNew and rsOld. rsNew needs to open a blank copy of the table with the Number field, but with an AutoNumber field instead. rsOld opens the number field table. If the records are sorted by that Number, use a SQL statement instead of opening the table directly. Last but not least, there are two lines that say rsNew.Fields(1).value="Test". Fields(1) needs to point to a text field...any text field will do, so just replace the '1' in both places with the first text field in the table. (remember 0 is the first field...) Here's the code: Dim rsNew As Recordset Dim rsOld As Recordset Dim intCurrentKey As Long Dim i As Long Set rsNew = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Problems", dbOpenTable) Set rsOld = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Problems-old3", dbOpenTable) rsOld.MoveFirst Do Until rsOld.EOF = True intCurrentKey = rsOld.Fields(0).Value rsNew.AddNew rsNew.Fields(1).Value = "Test" rsNew.Update rsNew.MoveLast Do Until rsNew.Fields(0).Value = intCurrentKey rsNew.Delete rsNew.AddNew rsNew.Fields(1).Value = "Test" rsNew.Update rsNew.MoveLast Loop rsNew.Edit For i = 1 To rsOld.Fields.Count - 1 rsNew.Fields(i).Value = rsOld.Fields(i).Value Next i rsNew.Update rsOld.MoveNext Loop MsgBox "Done" -----Original Message----- From: William Hindman [mailto:dejpolsys at hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 11:56 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Autonumber Corruption ...Help!!!! ...I did something really stupid ...not enough sleep I guess :( ...tblCompany.CompID is an Autonumber PK in a be mdb ...one of clients computers disconnected suddenly and corrupted the mdb ...an entire record in tblCompany was corrupted and repair did not fix it ...so I went to an archive from December and copied the record and pasted it into the current table ...all fine except that the AN PK had now changed and would not let me replace it with the original :( ...so I got stupid and went into design mode and changed the type from AN to a long ...fixed the PK ...then tried to change the data type back ...and of course it won't let me :((((( ...the company owner has last night's server backup tape but is in Miami and no one can reach him :((((( ...is there any way on god's green earth I can repair this?

My method works, but it's essentially a 'hack'. Also, it bloats your database, so you need to compact right afterwards. Just call me the Complicator!

Just thought I'd share something I worked out just now, only 'cause I thought it was spiffy and was sure newbies and oldies might find a use for it. So a user comes up to me and asks me to make a report that they would need to generate from time to time which would contain a week's-worth of data. However, they might not always generate it on time and so would need to be able to get data from any given week. "No problem!" I told them. And it turns out I was right. I'll leave the interface up to you, because the spiffy part is getting the first and last day of the week. We always wanted to get data from a given week, starting with Sunday and ending with Saturday (standard Western week period). The solution lies in a little built-in function called Weekday(). This function returns the ordinal value of the day of the week given that day as a Date value. So Weekday(#1/29/2003#) would return 4. With a bit of simple math and the use of the DateAdd() function, we can get either the start date or end date of a week given any date with one line of code each. Here are the two functions I wrote (error-hendler left out): Public Function basGetWeekStart(dte As Date) As Date 'Subtract the ordinal value of dte and add 1 to get the Sunday ' before dte basGetWeekStart = DateAdd("d", -(Weekday(dte)) + 1, dte) End Function Public Function basGetWeekEnd(dte As Date) As Date 'Subtract the ordinal value of dte from 7 (vbSaturday = 7) ' and add that many days to dte to get the Saturday after dte basGetWeekEnd = DateAdd("d", vbSaturday - (Weekday(dte)), dte) End Function Note that by default, Weekday() uses Sunday as the start of the week, but that can be overriden to suit your needs by adding one more parameter value to the function call. See Help on the function for constant values to use. This is the kind of code I like: simple, elegant, and relatively self-explanitory. Enjoy!

However, I would contend that using DateAdd() is a "safer" way of doing it, in that if MS ever changes how dates are stored, presumably DateAdd will still act as expected. I suppose it's also a matter of personal style. Performance-wise, either way should be fiarly equivalent. I've never noticed a significant lag when using DateAdd.

Doesn't the 'linking' process try to 'find' the source? You could strip the 'prompts', and hardcode the 'path'. Then have the opening code on your database check to see if it can open a 'linked' table, if it can't, have it relink the tables with your hard coded path. (the user wouldn't see anything at all, and you now have relinked tables when you need them). Just a thought.

In many cases we have been able to divide projects up among several contributors. In this case, the last step of our transfer from the previous to the new host had to be done by Bro, who has just recently got a new pretty tough job and has to work hard for it. Many of us do not understand what it takes to transfer such a list, and why there are delays involved which are pure technical nature. On some things you can work as hard as you like, it wont go faster. This total effort of selecting new hosts, saving the address lists, saving the web site, organizing who can do what when etc, was shared between a large number of list members like Bro, Kathryn, Seth, Martin, Donna, Pamela, and many more. I myself have seen how little I know about that, yesterday I have even been so naive to think I could send a message to you all, explaining the status, but I got a respons that I cannot send more than 100 msgs per day.... Leaves me only to say great thanks to all who helped in this transfer.

Yup - it was already announced that that is the case. We now have a split host system (that's a *good* thing). The website is hosted by Korksoft and you now need the www to get there.

Drew, I think it is safe to stop archiving the new messages if you choose to do so. But please leave the site up for awhile. I've changed the Search link on the website to show your http://intranet.marlow.com/AccessD link as well as the Wolfware one. > Let me know.

For now, there are other priorities, and since you have the space, just leave it as is until they are ready to ask for back stuff. Thanks again, for taking up the slack in our archives.

He admits it's a bonehead thing to do but wonders if there's a way to prevent him from doing that (be serious, now). Is there a way to stop that?

In the "Access 97 Developer's Handbook (Litwin, Getz & Gilbert)", the entire Chapter 10 is devoted to exactly what you are trying to accomplish - and more. If you own or can buy/borrow a copy, I would suggest that you do so first. It contains reasonably easy-to-follow instructions for handling all of the printing parameters, including paper sizes (pg 597).

Their operators type information into this program from phone calls, messages, and their web site. They do all of this manually, which makes sense for the phone calls, but it seems that there should be a way to replace Email with a web form, and have that information piped into the program...I'll stop short of saying I know there is, because I have absolutely no experience w/this. Now, this department is being "taken over" by an "outside" agency...budget problems have prompted the removal of a couple of depts. and they are being adopted by other sources. This is supposedly a good thing for the county, so I was given as a contact to aide in the migration...basically just answering questions. I guess my boss has setup some sort of support contract w/these folks. Back to the actual question...I spoke to the new director of this agency, yesterday, and he was surprised that they enter information from Email directly. He asked if there wasn't a way to pick the data out of the Email and put it into the DB. I told him that, what they should look into was to have a form on their website, and this data could be put into the DB, w/out human intervention. I did preface this by pointing out that I did not know how to do this. Is this possible? What does it take? What does it take considering the DB is already existant and wasn't programmed for this? Also, they currently use FrontPage for their site, which is hosted by an outside provider. If it can be done, but not w/FrontPage, I just need to tell them this. As it stands now, my involvement ends with a recommendation. But, if it is doable, I am thinking of offering my services. It is just that I am so busy right now, that I don't want to get in over my head either.

You probably have some idea how valuable this list is to its members, but in case you need reminding, even though I'm one of the "advanced" developers on this list, I pretty much regard it as my email home page. I look here first for questions I can answer and threads of interest. I very frequently copy code fragments from email messages into my CodeLib.MDB, which I keep fairly well organized by topic and keywords, so that for example I can jump in and find samples of ADO command and parameter objects. I paste in a snippet and do a couple of replaces and boom, next problem. Speaking of CodeLib.MDB, it appears that you cannot open it with Access or otherwise get into it, except through its front end. This is unfortunate, since it prevents easy merging of, say, your CodeLib.MDB with my own. I've tried importing &c to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas for how to get around this? I think that CodeLib is almost as valuable as this list, other than its inability to share :-) Arthur From John.Clark at niagaracounty.com Thu Jan 30 10:23:00 2003 From: John.Clark at niagaracounty.com (John Clark) Date: Thu Jan 30 10:23:00 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Web form data into Access97 Message-ID: Thanks, I'll look into this.

I used FrontPage to make the pretty html page and include statements inside the combo boxes(drop down lists) to insert VBScript code to load the options from the on-line mdb. That made it an asp page. The submit button sends the data to an asp page that validates and either rejects or adds the record to the on-line mdb. As John Clark points out, you can send email with plain vanilla HTML and generate a comma delimited file with FrontPage Extensions(check with web hosting company) and import that into Access. I use DSN-less ODBC connections to avoid interaction with the tech support people. That calls for a real IIS 5 rather than an imitation. Except for the email, you have to solve the problem of accessing the on-line data from your workstation. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 11:04 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Web form data into Access97 You have a few different choices, and which is appropriate depends on their preferences, your skill set, the ISP hosting the site, &c.

This is what I did. Liz suggested to map the drive on a local drive to mirror the client's. I couldn't use this suggestion because the location is not mapped. I have to use the network path. Drew's suggestion worked. I created the module and put a button on the main menu. I added a table with one boolean field called tableLinked. When the button is clicked, it's hidden after the tables have been relinked. I had to walk the client through the process of finding the backend, but it did save me a trip.

John, Indirect replication is the way to go. What this is is a setup where each system has a "drop box". A file with the changes are placed there and replication then takes place locally.

Eventually they will have a T1 connection between the to locations so I can just share the database or eventually upsize to SQLServer. Both sites have Hi Speed access to the net. So what's the best method in the short run. Replication through some type of FTP server (if even possible), VPN (Never really investigated this), Web Enable database (never did this and would probably need help from someone), Somehow connect to database via ODBC through the net (is that the same as web enabling the database?)

There have been problems with the original release of A2k losing its paper settings and that was supposedly patched in a service release. Also, if the printer the report was formatted for doesn't exist on that machine, the settings will return to the default, which is Letter. If you're talking about printer paper size, the system settings can be accessed through PrtDevMode using API calls in versions before AXP. AXP has a printer object that allows you to get the information without the direct API calls. We have a routine that uses the API calls you can find in the ADH and opens a report in design view in code and sets the paper settings before the report is printed, since our applications could be anywhere in the world and we can't control what printer they'll have.

References: Message-ID: <001701c2c89b$1b396eb0$6400000a@dogbert2k> I routinely create one monster detail query (now view) with all the fields in it and all the preassigned where conditions and then base a set or related reports on this view. I also have between 10 and 20 optional criteria the user can select - some single value some multi-value. I then base varying levels of summary, rollup and crosstab reports on this single "Base" query. I want a general method to pass the criteria to the "Base query" when I run a report based on a view that is solely based in this base query but may not necessarily need the criteria fields (eg. views with group by and sum functions. This is going against Sql 7 from an Access 2000 adp. Based on my understanding now, I would have to put all this into a stored procedure, have all the parameters in it, and with the Base table being a User Session Table (eg. #Name) being generated first based on the parameters and following TSql code referring to it. As this returns a recordset I assume I'd have to make the final sql code return a table. Any thoughts or hints on problems or ways to do this would be greatly appreciated. Tom ps. I'm using a product called DynamiCube from Data Dynamics and I've fallen in love with it. I've programmed a general data cube form and all the rest is data driven. It allows total end user futzing around and then they can export to excel or print a report. If you're in the market for this kind of power and flexibility I'd highly recommend taking a look at this product - it's about $500 per developer - no license or runtime fees.

I have had no trouble getting this type of app to work with several commercial web hosts. You are looking at Active Server Pages (ASP) to "front" the database on the web in the form of a web form. I do most of my ASP programming (Vbscript) directly in Notepad, but have also used FrontPage or Dreamweaver for the layout and then inserted the ASP code into the resulting document -- then changed the file extension to .ASP. In short, it is definitely doable. If it is a relatively small project and you are good at self training, I'd take it on and force myself to learn ASP. There are many good ASP devoted websites out there, and code for many basic tasks is readily available. ASP is certainly not the only approach, but it is one that I know works.

Yes, PCs running SQL Server are susceptible to Slammer infections. The whole world has learned that the hard way. But SQL Server's only part of the story. According to Microsoft, users of MSDE 2000 are also susceptible to Slammer infections. It would be helpful if he would spell it out to his readers that you have SQL Server if you have MSDE vX. He later rectifies this by adding this line as a sort of sarcasm. First, SQL Server, er, MSDE, is a full-fledged server. .... It requires all the care and feeding that any huge Microsoft product demands, and it's definitely not suitable for garden-variety Office users like you or me. You can't run MSDE on older hardware. Keeping it updated and working properly is almost a full-time job. With very rare exceptions, MSDE just ain't worth the effort, regardless of the vacuous arguments MS proffers to the contrary (e.g., http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/deployment/70/msdejet.asp?LN=en-us&gss nb=1 ). I'm not too convinced that he read the article he pointed to. After reading it, I did not get the impression that MS was specifically pushing MSDE very hard, in fact I thought they gave JET 4. a 'hyped' notation. While Jet 4 is the next version there have been weird inconsistencies vs. sticking with the Jet 3.5 version Second, MSDE is vulnerable to many (dare I say "most"?) How about he says ALL of the vulnerabilities that SQL Server has? I have to give him credit for pushing his e-zine w/compation, and even making it plainly obvious that if you run any number of applications you may unknowingly already be running Sql Server ala MSDE.. One thing he mentioned in this article was that Access 2002 (XP) does not let you administer your copy of SQL Server as it did in 2k is this true? I suspect he overlooked it because he also said that in Access2000 you couldn't run a backup, which all he had to do was go to Tools > Utilities > Backup from the menu in an Access ADP.... :o) -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hollis,Virginia" To: Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 12:02 PM Subject: RE: [AccessD] SQL Worm : Did you read the latest from Woodys Office Watch, "WOW #8.03 - Latest worm : isn't just for servers"?

The website is currently hosted by a hosting company (imagine that), and I imagine they will keep this, but again, I don't really know for sure. I spoke w/the woman who is in charge of this in that department yesterday...she is actualy their web master...and she said that they cannot use a webform. This is because they run this data through a query and pass it into a program called "Mailers +", to do their mailings (they send out travel guides, fishing guides, etc.), and apparently they end up w/more work if they use customer typed data. The Mailers + program will kick out an address as bad, if they type out "street", "rural route", "road", etc.. It requires abbreviations. She may be shading things a bit too, because her job may be in jeopardy with this move. They already have a form on their website (http://www.niagara-usa.com), so I'm thinking it might not be that difficult. I am going to step away for now. My boss doesn't seem to be too gung-ho for me to be involved, and I'm actually swamped for the next few months. I'm going to call the guy today, and tell him that it may be possible to do, but there are issues that may prevent this. He will have to work more closely with the woman I spoke with...he has been told this by three different people, including myself, and he seems to be avoiding her. I thank everyone for their input though...as usual it was very helpful. I actually want to get into a project like this at some point, to gain the experience. Thanks again! John W Clark >>> DWUTKA at marlow.com 01/30/03 02:56PM >>> Where is your database? Is it on the hosting company's webserver, or is it local to you? If it is local to you, that may be interesting, because you'd be pushing data back to your network. Not impossible, just a pain to setup. If the database is on the webserver itself, it's a snap, using ASP (if your Hosting company provides ASP capability). Drew -----Original Message----- From: John Clark [mailto:John.Clark at niagaracounty.com] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 8:27 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Web form data into Access97 About two years ago, I wrote a program for our Tourism department that tracks their 800 line requests. Their operators type information into this program from phone calls, messages, and their web site. They do all of this manually, which makes sense for the phone calls, but it seems that there should be a way to replace Email with a web form, and have that information piped into the program...I'll stop short of saying I know there is, because I have absolutely no experience w/this. Now, this department is being "taken over" by an "outside" agency...budget problems have prompted the removal of a couple of depts. and they are being adopted by other sources. This is supposedly a good thing for the county, so I was given as a contact to aide in the migration...basically just answering questions. I guess my boss has setup some sort of support contract w/these folks. Back to the actual question...I spoke to the new director of this agency, yesterday, and he was surprised that they enter information from Email directly. He asked if there wasn't a way to pick the data out of the Email and put it into the DB. I told him that, what they should look into was to have a form on their website, and this data could be put into the DB, w/out human intervention. I did preface this by pointing out that I did not know how to do this. Is this possible? What does it take? What does it take considering the DB is already existant and wasn't programmed for this? Also, they currently use FrontPage for their site, which is hosted by an outside provider. If it can be done, but not w/FrontPage, I just need to tell them this. As it stands now, my involvement ends with a recommendation. But, if it is doable, I am thinking of offering my services. It is just that I am so busy right now, that I don't want to get in over my head either.

Visit http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd Yes this is because the default setting is to make your email visible on the roster list. No worries though it's not like you can't remove your name from the list, but the principal is the same. The system autogenerates a password for you, since you don't know it when you click on your email address it will send you the link and your system created password in order to let you change you options and you password as well. Once in your user options go to the section labled Conceal yourself from subscriber list. This in effect will hide your name from the main roster page that is visible by any spam-bot picking up email addresses. True the email address is not displayed as "email at server.com" but 'email at server.com" is not too tought for a spam-bot to clean up... so if you don't like your email address listed publicly out on the worldwideweb run dont walk to change your user settings http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd and by the look of things, hardly anyone cares or knows about this vulnerability... -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com From MarkBoyd at McBeeAssociates.com Fri Jan 31 10:43:01 2003 From: MarkBoyd at McBeeAssociates.com (Mark Boyd) Date: Fri Jan 31 10:43:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] 'Find' Dialog Box Message-ID: <42DE35C7D61279419C166543CD42F405C9AF@mail2k.mcbassoc.com> Is there a way to make the 'Find' dialog box disappear immediately after it finds a record?

I think it would be a good experience in group development. I also think that working through a process in team development will help me manage projects better even when I'm on my own. How to get the balance between planning, documenting and acutally getting the job done has been a tough one for me. I've worked for a government agency who "got religion" about planning, quality and control. They planned and controlled the H*** out of small projects but had trouble actually getting quality jobs delivered. I was at a meeting where they debated how to name Access Indexes for 40 minutes. Their QA gal is the Princess of Darkness personified and basically acts as a Uber Program Designer - after the fact and with limited understanding of the customers needs. But she's definetely got the program under control. We won't even talk about the process of getting paid. It hurts too much. I have a real rough ap that takes a swipe at doing this but haven't done anything with it for a year or so. If elected I will serve and if asked I will donate this app for a starting point.

Visit http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd Yes this is because the default setting is to make your email visible on the roster list. No worries though it's not like you can't remove your name from the list, but the principal is the same. The system autogenerates a password for you, since you don't know it when you click on your email address it will send you the link and your system created password in order to let you change you options and you password as well. Once in your user options go to the section labled Conceal yourself from subscriber list. This in effect will hide your name from the main roster page that is visible by any spam-bot picking up email addresses. True the email address is not displayed as "email at server.com" but 'email at server.com" is not too tought for a spam-bot to clean up... so if you don't like your email address listed publicly out on the worldwideweb run dont walk to change your user settings http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd and by the look of things, hardly anyone cares or knows about this vulnerability... -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com From my.lists at verizon.net Fri Jan 31 10:58:01 2003 From: my.lists at verizon.net (Francisco H Tapia) Date: Fri Jan 31 10:58:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Email spam risk Message-ID: <007801c2c94a$04e7faf0$b615010a@FHTAPIA> Forgot to mention, that one particular reason I jumped on this soap-box was that if you go into the archives, The author's address is concealed with the typical AccessD at databaseadvisors link.

Anyone can see this list, it's public, heck Google may have already cached it!... I see that you are listed twice on the list of emails... and a simple scan will show you that I am no longer on that list since I went through the steps of concealing my address from this main list.

Although I joined the BEU team at the latter stages, I will say without hesitation that it was probably one of the best investments of time I have EVER made. I learned a lot about working as a team. Not to mention I learned how much I DON'T know about Access. (Andy, Reuben, no comments about how well I can break code from you two :-) I say if anyone is sitting on the fence trying to decide if they want to help, I say do it. The rewards are well worth it. The time commitment isn't all consuming. There are peaks and valley in the time required, just like life, and everyone understood if you were quite for a while. As a friend of mine like to say, Life sometimes gets in the way of fun. And it was fun. No Lembit, I don't want to take on the task of leading a project, just yet. Maybe when we get BEU to the stage we want it to get to. Just as a side note, I have a Word Template that I used for the documentation for the BEU that whom ever writes the Docs for the DBA Code Library can use if they wish. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at sympatico.ca I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

IT seems as if most already put "keeper" code in them as it is when they see useful code. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I believe it is best to keep it as is and have a group of people that update a master copy that is made available for download on the accessD website. This way anyone who wants it can download it and use it as is, through the native engine. The only trouble is, who will update it, and who chooses what is good enough to put in the db? Some advance programmers might think that something is not worthwhile to place in this db, OTOH, what if it gets filled with useless stuff? Will they be simply cutting and pasting code from their project that works, using their variables and filed names: Me!lstCompaniesFound.RowSource = "EXEC stp_002A_CompanyNameSearch '" & Me!txtCompanyNameEntry.Text & "'" or will the code be cleaned up as such: Me!YourListBoxNameHere.RowSource = "EXEC YourStoredProcedureNameHere '" & Me!YourEntryTextBox.Text & "'" Will we be asking for full commenting (No War and Peace) of code? just a few thoughts, David McAfee -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Lembit Soobik Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 7:58 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Code Librarian /was Thanks Sure, Pedro, a great idea.

It's not perfect or complete, but I'm guessing that I have invested more time in codelib than other listers, so I will offer my current database as the starting point. There's nothing at all wrong with the CL UI. Well maybe there is, but it works pretty well. However there are two distinct versions, one of which is loaded as an add-in and the other a stand-alone program written I would guess in VB. Before we run off and write something, may I suggest/ask: 1. I don't know how to get around the password issue. (I.e. if you try to open CodeLib.mdb from Access it demands a password. Does anyone know the password? That would be an excellent starting point. Then I could reverse-engineer the db -- not that its structure is difficult to deduce, but simply in the interests of preserving column names and sizes and so on.) 2. The major feature lacking in the stand-alone version is the ability to import and export from various instances of codelib.mdb. Minor features lacking include printing facilities (i.e. print selected fragment(s), topic(s) &c.) 3. I'm not sure precisely when MS switched to the integrated version from the stand-alone version, but I prefer the stand-alone version. Incidentally, I have used it to create various *lib.mdb files for Access, XML, VB, PHP and Perl. In fact, this is the beauty of the product. You can store any kind of code in it that you want (but it only makes sense to create several MDBs each devoted to a particular language). All this said, I'd better fire the sucker up right now and start cleaning up, documenting &c. the snippets I have collected to date, before one of you asks for what I've got already!

Sick Of Spam? Donate It To Science SpamArchive.org Wants To Build Database Of Junk E-Mail Messages Kim Ngan Nguyen, Staff Writer POSTED: 9:11 p.m. MST January 29, 2003 UPDATED: 11:01 a.m. MST January 30, 2003 DENVER -- Do you hate all that spam that clutters your inbox? Well, you can donate it to a good cause. Believe it or not there is a company out there that wants your spam -- all of it. The security company has set up SpamArchive.org and they're compiling a database of every type of junk message so that programmers can test out new anti-spam tools. The reason is: spammers are tricky. They are always changing techniques so even though you've set up an e-mail filter one day, the next day you get more unsolicited e-mail that has found a way around the filter. People working on learning spammers' techniques need a huge database of junk email so that they can test out programs that identify spam and remove it without getting rid of legitimate e-mail (which is one reason why some people don't even set up e-mail filters). So basically, what the site SpamArchive.org wants you to do is instead of just deleting your spam, forward it to them (as an attachment) and they will scrub out your e-mail address and keep that spam for testing purposes. And this database can't come any sooner for a lot of us. A recent survey showed that spam now accounts for 40 percent of all e-mail. It was just less than 10 percent last year.

Why create a public when there's no need? Create a static instead and call it whenever you need it; no need for a public. I can't think of a reason why you might want to do it, but the same technique could easily work in ADP. Grab the current connection and store it in a static var in a static func. Then retrieve it whenever you need it.

Hours per table = MF * NF * NR * EDF Add all the hours per table to get total hours MF = Mess factor (1 or greater) (How messy this junk is. Can you do a quick review and do batch corrects? Can you do some batch converts. Do you have to manually decipher multiple fields entered into one field and parse them to correct fields?) NF = Number of fields you have to check. NR = Number of rows you have to check. EDF = Experimentally determined factor (Theoretically less than 1) In practice it could take 1/2 day to weeks. It depends. I usually work with knowledgable users to analize, list the types of problems, and figure out how to correct each one. I rely on the users to do the manual deciphering/correcting (they know the data a lot better than you ever will.) You might try providing a sample table with list of problems to correct and get group feedback on times. However, since the monkeys won in our recent group joke contest you might just tell the customer you'll have to work by the hour as this kind of stuff can not be estimated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Barrows" To: Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 2:10 PM Subject: RE: [AccessD] Estimating Help > OK, I think I have continued to confuse everyone. > > All I want / need to know is if anyone has a formula for estimating time > to clean the garbage out of the database tables.

Although I joined the BEU team at the latter stages, I will say without hesitation that it was probably one of the best investments of time I have EVER made. I learned a lot about working as a team. Not to mention I learned how much I DON'T know about Access. (Andy, Reuben, no comments about how well I can break code from you two :-) I say if anyone is sitting on the fence trying to decide if they want to help, I say do it. The rewards are well worth it. The time commitment isn't all consuming. There are peaks and valley in the time required, just like life, and everyone understood if you were quite for a while. As a friend of mine like to say, Life sometimes gets in the way of fun. And it was fun. No Lembit, I don't want to take on the task of leading a project, just yet. Maybe when we get BEU to the stage we want it to get to. Just as a side note, I have a Word Template that I used for the documentation for the BEU that whom ever writes the Docs for the DBA Code Library can use if they wish. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at sympatico.ca I used to have a handle on life, but it broke. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com From dejpolsys at hotmail.com Fri Jan 31 15:54:01 2003 From: dejpolsys at hotmail.com (William Hindman) Date: Fri Jan 31 15:54:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Estimating Help Message-ID: ...by "garbage" I assume you mean incorrectly entered data such as names, addresses, etc ...and that once the cleanup is completed, then you will archive the oldest data. ...garbage cleanup is the hardest thing I do for new clients ...they want "perfection" and that is often damn hard to achieve ...so I look at their data ...really look at it ...then I make a WAG as to how many hours it will take me ...then I quadruple that WAG ...because the WAG is ALWAYS low ...and although I want the business, I have bills to pay. ...one suggestion ...I've found that using Dave Bell's Proper Case mdb (www.colbyconsulting.com) is really a major help in this kind of work ...forget its name and look at all its capable of doing in a garbage filled db ...HTH :) William >From: "Jeff Barrows" >Reply-To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com >To: >Subject: RE: [AccessD] Estimating Help >Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 07:09:05 -0600 > >Sorry, I should have been a little more specific.

For instance, I have a category in my CodeLib that I call Information and I put snippets of things in there that otherwise I may not remember, like the method for getting the hWnd of a control or how to use the Recordset.Name property of a DAO recordset to retrieve the SQL used to create it. Or we might have a separate database for DAO code and one for ADO code. Of course, then we'd need a way to cross index them ....

IT seems as if most already put "keeper" code in them as it is when they see useful code. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I believe it is best to keep it as is and have a group of people that update a master copy that is made available for download on the accessD website. This way anyone who wants it can download it and use it as is, through the native engine. The only trouble is, who will update it, and who chooses what is good enough to put in the db? Some advance programmers might think that something is not worthwhile to place in this db, OTOH, what if it gets filled with useless stuff? Will they be simply cutting and pasting code from their project that works, using their variables and filed names: Me!lstCompaniesFound.RowSource = "EXEC stp_002A_CompanyNameSearch '" & Me!txtCompanyNameEntry.Text & "'" or will the code be cleaned up as such: Me!YourListBoxNameHere.RowSource = "EXEC YourStoredProcedureNameHere '" & Me!YourEntryTextBox.Text & "'" Will we be asking for full commenting (No War and Peace) of code? just a few thoughts, David McAfee -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Lembit Soobik Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 7:58 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Code Librarian /was Thanks Sure, Pedro, a great idea.

The CLBs you create yourself are NOT password protected and you can open them in Access XP. The 2000 version ran as an add-in or from the executable and the MS-provided database was password protected. It allowed you to open only one codelib at a time, but you could choose the one to open. The XP version, once you get used to the differences, is a vastly superior application. The XP version also allows you to use multiple codelibs at the same time, and as in the previous version you can create your own. Plus there is a CodeLibViewer that can open a codelib for those who don't have the app installed. Charlotte Foust -----Original Message----- From: Arthur Fuller [mailto:artful at rogers.com] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 11:07 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Code Librarian /was Thanks Allow me to jump in, since I originated this thread :-) I volunteer to head the development team on this project, and to provide the initial database offering. It's not perfect or complete, but I'm guessing that I have invested more time in codelib than other listers, so I will offer my current database as the starting point. There's nothing at all wrong with the CL UI. Well maybe there is, but it works pretty well. However there are two distinct versions, one of which is loaded as an add-in and the other a stand-alone program written I would guess in VB. Before we run off and write something, may I suggest/ask: 1. I don't know how to get around the password issue. (I.e. if you try to open CodeLib.mdb from Access it demands a password. Does anyone know the password? That would be an excellent starting point. Then I could reverse-engineer the db -- not that its structure is difficult to deduce, but simply in the interests of preserving column names and sizes and so on.) 2. The major feature lacking in the stand-alone version is the ability to import and export from various instances of codelib.mdb. Minor features lacking include printing facilities (i.e. print selected fragment(s), topic(s) &c.) 3. I'm not sure precisely when MS switched to the integrated version from the stand-alone version, but I prefer the stand-alone version. Incidentally, I have used it to create various *lib.mdb files for Access, XML, VB, PHP and Perl. In fact, this is the beauty of the product. You can store any kind of code in it that you want (but it only makes sense to create several MDBs each devoted to a particular language). All this said, I'd better fire the sucker up right now and start cleaning up, documenting &c. the snippets I have collected to date, before one of you asks for what I've got already!

Most of the time i am a Cytologist who works in a Pedro, Let me start out by saying that I am not trying to push you into doing anything you don't want to do, but consider this for a moment. I am a member of the BEU Team, but I am not a full time DB developer either. I am an Admin Assistant, so don't let your "position" hold you back from helping out if you can. Everyone here is understanding and helpful to folks that are learning.

Why not make a networked library. You could have a multi-server service (I would be willing to help build and host), that holds 'public' code. Then have the client program store both, public and private code. The servers would be used to sync everyone. Having multiple servers would prevent problems if one server goes offline.

Why not make a networked library. You could have a multi-server service (I would be willing to help build and host), that holds 'public' code. Then have the client program store both, public and private code. The servers would be used to sync everyone. Having multiple servers would prevent problems if one server goes offline.

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

I'll be glad to help out. I'm sending this to you and the list, since I will put some general info in here which can only help anyone with understanding how a network works. If you have more specific questions John, feel free to email me offline. (use dwutka at marlow.com or drew at wolfwares.com). If anyone else reading this doesn't want to learn a bit, just stop reading. Okay, to begin with, TCP/IP is Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, which is the protocol used to communicate through the internet. TCP/IP can also be used within a LAN. So how does it work? Well, to make a network protocol work, the first thing you need to do is create a method of identifying each machine on the network. With TCP/IP, that 'id' is the IP Address. Your IP address is made up of 4 bytes, or quads. (192.168.0.1, each of those numbers is going to be within a byte's range, 0 to 255). Now, with IP Addresses, Numbers get assigned from the left to the right. What that means is, an organization that requires a lot of addresses may get the entire range of 146.xxx.xxx.xxx, which is a ton of addresses (255^3), where as a smaller company may get 156.134.21.xxx which is only 255 addresses, and of course and individual user will usually only get 1 IP Address. There are several 'reserved' addresses, which are predesignated for various functions. For internal networks, or LANs, 10.10.xxx.xxx and 192.168.xxx.xxx are set aside. What does that mean. That means that there can be many computers turned on with the IP address of 192.168.0.2, but none of them would be allowed to access the internet directly, since that is a LAN specified IP address and that would place multiple machines with the same 'id' in direct contact (which is not allowed to happen, otherwise TCP/IP would not work) John, I am sure you knew that much, just providing a little background. Now there are two other 'properties' that are in direct relation to the IP address. The first is the subnet mask. The subnet mask refers to the 'subnet' that a computer is on. 255.255.255.0 means that the subnet for 192.168.0.3 is all IP addresses with 192.168.0.xxx. The way to 'figure' a subnet, is to use bit comparison against the subnet mask. 255 is all bits turned on, so that number is an exact match. 0 is all bits off, so that entire quad is a variable. In between that, you have 254, which means the last bit is variable, etc. What makes the subnet mask important, is that when a computer needs to 'scan' it's surroundings, it uses the subnet mask to determine what addresses to talk to. (JC...important to remember this...) A good example of how this effects things is an issue I have seen with Windows 98 machines. Our subnet at work is 255.255.254.0, which means the internal IP addresses are 192.168.0.xxx and 192.168.1.xxx. The problem on the 98 machines is that sometimes we get a NIC that set's it's subnet to 255.255.0.0. That is roughly 65,000 addresses. With that many addresses to scan, network connections time out. So what makes this important, is that your subnet needs to be large enough to accomodate the numbe of computers it is going to support, and no larger, because a larger subnet takes longer to 'scan'. The next important item is the gateway, which is the Address of the router for a subnet. You must have a router 'in front' of every subnet. A router acts as a phone switch box between subnets. The gateway must be in the same subnet as the local IP address (unless you are setting up a router...that's a different story all together). A router 'knows' what is on either side of it, so it will either pass packets back into the subnet it covers, or send them off to another subnet, based upon the addressing. Now that you know the basics of TCP/IP, it's time for the 'support' processes, which is where you are running into problems JC. The first support item is DHCP. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When it comes to your TCP/IP settings mentioned above, there are two ways to set them. Manually enter the settings, which is refered to as a static IP, or getting them from a DHCP server. How does a DHCP server work? It's actually pretty simple. It has a 'cache' of addresses that it is allowed to 'hand out'. It also has a 'settings structure' that it gives to it's clients. That structure dictates the subnet, and gateway properties. It can also include items such as DNS and WINS settings (and more). So here's the trick, how do you get an IP address without having an IP Address to communicate with. What happens is your computer broadcasts a DHCP request. It's essentially 'protocolless'. It does this by using your machine's MAC address (which is the unique ID of your network card. IP Addresses are used because there is no rhyme or reason to a MAC address, so it would be a real pain to 'route' between subnets based on MAC Addresses, so TCP/IP overlays the MAC Address. Sort of like the difference between using a phone number versus genetic code. You can absolutely find the right person with genetic code, but when you find the first genome, you don't have a specific direction to head in, where as a phone number starts with an area code or country code, which automatically sends you to the right region.) This too is important, because a DHCP server can be setup with 'reservations' based on a MAC Address. What that means, is that when a request comes in to a DHCP server, from a client machine, the DHCP server looks at the MAC address, and if there is a reservation for that address, it hands out the assigned IP Address for the reservation. If it does not have a reservation, it hands out any 'available' address. This allows you to use a DHCP setup, while maintaining relatively 'static' IP addresses. The advantage to this, is that you can change these 'static' IPs from the server, instead of having to go to each machine. The last thing you would want to know about a DHCP server, is that the 'broadcast' message that a client machine sends out, is broadcast only within a subnet. In other words, all switches and hubs will pass the signal to all of their ports, but a router will not let it pass. Thus, you must have a DHCP server 'within' both your TCP/IP subnet, and physical subnet. It's also why many routers have DHCP capabilities. There is certainly a lot more, but that's all you need to know to fix your problem. You need to setup your DHCP server to hand out not only the right addresses, but the right information for those addresses (subnet and gateway). If I remember right JC, you talked about setting up a Windows 2000 server on your home network. Did you do that. If so, you can just drop using the DHCP in your router, and instead turn on the DHCP service on your server. Windows 2000's DHCP server is as easy to setup as choosing your wallpaper. Setting up a DHCP service within a router requires reading the manual, and learning to program your router. Each router is different. Some have handy 'web' interfaces (just try http://192.168.0.1), or whatever your gateway is. If your router will let you modify it's settings through the web, you just need to find the DHCP settings, and setup the IP Address Pool (which should include the 'settings' for that pool). Technically a router's DHCP is going to be a little faster then a servers, because it is a hard wired service, instead of a software service. But we are talking nanoseconds, and if your router is a pain to setup, those nanoseconds are worthless against an easy GUI option. Also, if you have a Windows 2000 Server machine running, you can setup your own WINS and DNS services. Having your own DNS server is EXTREMELY handy. For example....when my DSL is working, I just open my browser and type email in the address, and i am brought to our Outlook Web Access site. Intranet brings me to our Intranet site. This is done, by setting up my own DNS 'aliases'. Any who, if none of this helps, or you want some more specific help, either email me, or if you want to go the Windows 2000 Server route, give me a call. (Actually, if you email me with your #, I'll call you on my cell phone...weekend minutes are practically free) I can walk you through the settings step by step. (My DSL might be down (actually it will hopefully be up tomorrow), but my server is still running, so I have a running resource to compare settings with. (I set it all up myself...I'm actually running Active Directory, which I HIGHLY recommend, but it's not for the faint of heart! ). Drew -----Original Message----- From: John W. Colby To: AccessD Sent: 1/24/03 10:11 AM Subject: [AccessD] OT: network help Guys, I am having network troubles at my home office. Here's the situation. I have a small network running on a dlink DL-704 router. WWW connection through my cable, thus a cable modem. The router is the dhcp server. Internal addresses were 192.168.0.x with the router being 192.168.0.1. Understand I am not a network guy so I can spout this stuff but you should not mistakenly conclude that I understand it. The problems started when I tried to set up a Remote Access connection to a client system. I could get the virtual channel to run but couldn't get to the "server" on that system which was set (internally to THEIR network) to 192.168.0.10. The problem is that their network and mine were both using 192.168.0.xxx. The network guy that set everything up for the client asked me to change my system to 192.168.1.xxx which I did. Everything came to a crashing halt on my system, at least in terms of getting to the internet. In fact weird things would happen like... some chat clients worked (yahoo and aol), others didn't (msn). On closer investigation it seems that the default gateway is still set to 192.168.0.1. Since everything else is set to 192.168.1.xxx (including the router - 192.168.1.1) it appears that this default gateway number is causing havoc. We could not find where this number is assigned, IOW how to change it (default gateway) from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1. The "answer" was to go set the TCP/IP properties manually to "use the following address" instead of "Obtain an IP address automatically". Once I go in there and set the info manually, including the "default gateway", everything works. However this now means that I have to manually configure all of my computers since when they obtain automatically, they end up with the default gateway address of 192.168.0.1 which doesn't work. This is going to cause problems when I hook up my tivo box which I can't get at the settings to set manually. So... the question is, where the hell is this Default Gateway setting configured. It seems like it should be part of the router configuration but I simply cannot find that setting in the router's setup stuff anywhere. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

On closer investigation it seems that the default gateway is still set to 192.168.0.1. Since everything else is set to 192.168.1.xxx (including the router - 192.168.1.1) it appears that this default gateway number is causing havoc. We could not find where this number is assigned, IOW how to change it (default gateway) from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1. The "answer" was to go set the TCP/IP properties manually to "use the following address" instead of "Obtain an IP address automatically". Once I go in there and set the info manually, including the "default gateway", everything works. However this now means that I have to manually configure all of my computers since when they obtain automatically, they end up with the default gateway address of 192.168.0.1 which doesn't work. This is going to cause problems when I hook up my tivo box which I can't get at the settings to set manually. So... the question is, where the hell is this Default Gateway setting configured. It seems like it should be part of the router configuration but I simply cannot find that setting in the router's setup stuff anywhere. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view. Greg Smith Programmer/Trainer weeden1949 at hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Myke Myers" To: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com From ricknalley at nalleyweb.com Tue Jan 28 17:13:32 2003 From: ricknalley at nalleyweb.com (Rick) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:13:32 2003 Subject: [AccessD] (no subject) Message-ID: <010601c2c664$3d5e88b0$0400a8c0@mainsys> Test, is the list still alive.

In-Reply-To: <000e01c2c3ee$e3bb2240$6501a8c0@tbig3> Message-ID: I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection.

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine.

Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

(315) 699-3443 jimdettman at earthlink.net Hi John, <> Yeah, that would put the breaks on everything and something you probably didn't need to do. <> First, I'd go back to the way everything was, as you didn't need to change it in the first place. <> There are two ways to setup a network: with a DHCP server and without. Without one you need to manually specify the IP address, the gateway, and the DNS servers in Windows. With a DHCP server, you don't do any of that manually. The PC at startup broadcasts a DHCP request and the DHCP server (in this case your router) supplies all that info. In Windows, the only thing you need to do is to set it for "Obtain IP address automatically". In your router setup, the router is has two addresses that can be assigned: the internal network and WAN port. The WAN port IP is your external address (used to talk to the rest of the world) and something which your ISP either sets dynamically or is static. The internal address is the one you want to change and the one that is supplied to the DHCP client as the Gateway Address. So your not looking for "Gateway" but "internal IP address" or "Network IP". This is a fundamental setting for the router. When you change it, you'll loose communication with the router until you reboot your PC. As to what I mentioned earlier, you didn't need to change all this because the address on the remote end at the client is not the one you need to be using. The address you gave is for private networks only and not a public one. Your client has a router/firewall in place and NAT (network address translation) is being used, same as in your router. The 192.168.0.x is a private address and neither of you will be able to find each other on the Internet using that address. The addresses you need to be working with are the WAN addresses set in your routers. If neither of you have static addresses with your ISP, then you'll need to get them or use a 3rd party such as www.dyndns.org to establish communications. Fill me in with what your trying to do and I'll help further if I can, but for now, set things back to the way they were. -----Original Message----- From: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of John W. Colby Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 11:11 AM To: AccessD Subject: [AccessD] OT: network help Guys, I am having network troubles at my home office. Here's the situation. I have a small network running on a dlink DL-704 router. WWW connection through my cable, thus a cable modem. The router is the dhcp server. Internal addresses were 192.168.0.x with the router being 192.168.0.1. Understand I am not a network guy so I can spout this stuff but you should not mistakenly conclude that I understand it. The problems started when I tried to set up a Remote Access connection to a client system. I could get the virtual channel to run but couldn't get to the "server" on that system which was set (internally to THEIR network) to 192.168.0.10. The problem is that their network and mine were both using 192.168.0.xxx. The network guy that set everything up for the client asked me to change my system to 192.168.1.xxx which I did. Everything came to a crashing halt on my system, at least in terms of getting to the internet. In fact weird things would happen like... some chat clients worked (yahoo and aol), others didn't (msn). On closer investigation it seems that the default gateway is still set to 192.168.0.1. Since everything else is set to 192.168.1.xxx (including the router - 192.168.1.1) it appears that this default gateway number is causing havoc. We could not find where this number is assigned, IOW how to change it (default gateway) from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1. The "answer" was to go set the TCP/IP properties manually to "use the following address" instead of "Obtain an IP address automatically". Once I go in there and set the info manually, including the "default gateway", everything works. However this now means that I have to manually configure all of my computers since when they obtain automatically, they end up with the default gateway address of 192.168.0.1 which doesn't work. This is going to cause problems when I hook up my tivo box which I can't get at the settings to set manually. So... the question is, where the hell is this Default Gateway setting configured. It seems like it should be part of the router configuration but I simply cannot find that setting in the router's setup stuff anywhere. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors.

Martin _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Tue Jan 28 17:22:01 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:22:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2185.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Myke: I had (have?) the same type of issue with a county office which was using a split database, the FE residing one each user's desktop, the BE on their main server, which was shared with other offices and could become quite busy. They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view. Greg Smith Programmer/Trainer weeden1949 at hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Myke Myers" To: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more.

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru Tue Jan 28 17:31:08 2003 From: shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru (Shamil Salakhetdinov) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:31:08 2003 Subject: [AccessD] TEST References: <001301c2c65c$2c780830$b615010a@FHTAPIA> Message-ID: <003501c2c724$072fabf0$b501010a@DAISY.local> PONG! :) (It's alive again!)

I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

I am migrating an A97DB from Win95 to Win2000Pro and everything is working fine EXCEPT when printing. This particular Db prints LOTS of single page reports in quick succession in varying quantities and I use the PRTDEVMODE properties to change parameters such as quantity, tray to print to etc. My printers tend to slip into LETTER size when they should be in A4... This happens intermittently and may happen on the first report or the 50th ....of course the printer drivers default is LETTER before it is set up and I think there is some sort of error when setting the DEVMODE properties causing the driver to fall back to its defaults .... Has anyone else experienced this behaviour in Win2000Pro?

I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine. Michael -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]Im Auftrag von Myke Myers Gesendet: Freitag, 24. Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From DWUTKA at marlow.com Tue Jan 28 17:55:56 2003 From: DWUTKA at marlow.com (Drew Wutka) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:55:56 2003 Subject: [AccessD] MiniCalendar Wish List Request...

I am migrating an A97DB from Win95 to Win2000Pro and everything is working fine EXCEPT when printing. This particular Db prints LOTS of single page reports in quick succession in varying quantities and I use the PRTDEVMODE properties to change parameters such as quantity, tray to print to etc. My printers tend to slip into LETTER size when they should be in A4... This happens intermittently and may happen on the first report or the 50th ....of course the printer drivers default is LETTER before it is set up and I think there is some sort of error when setting the DEVMODE properties causing the driver to fall back to its defaults .... Has anyone else experienced this behaviour in Win2000Pro? It works fine on Win95 (but of course that has its own set of problems ) Any help greatly appreciated Regards Tom Keatley _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Tue Jan 28 17:59:06 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Tue Jan 28 17:59:06 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2229.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Dear group, my app is beeing developed on a German version of MS Access. I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

Sorry, but I have had several request for one. It's not going to be a 'clock' per se, but rather a 'Time' data entry ability. (Since you are using a calendar to enter a date, why force the user to manually enter a time?) It will all be optional though, and shouldn't use resources that aren't requested.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly.

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

And free to use for anything else than a SAP solution: SAP DB can be used free of charge in non-SAP environments. There are various Support Models offered for SAP DB. If you use SAP?DB as a database system for SAP solutions, a maintenance contract is required. Thus, if are looking for a heavy duty ERP engine but don't have the budget for Oracle/MSSQL/DB2 pay this very neat site (including full on-line documentation) a visit: http://www.sapdb.org/ You can even order a cd-rom with the complete site and all downloads free of charge (pick the link CD-ROM). /gustav _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Tue Jan 28 18:09:44 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Tue Jan 28 18:09:44 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2245.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> testing new list Lembit Soobik lembit.soobik at t-online.de _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From harkins at iglou.com Tue Jan 28 18:10:02 2003 From: harkins at iglou.com (Susan Harkins) Date: Tue Jan 28 18:10:02 2003 Subject: [AccessD] internal recordset field names References: <2F8793082E00D4119A1700B0D0216BF801D81EEF@main2.marlow.com> Message-ID: <00e201c2c72a$a28a4640$9ee6ffcc@SusanOne> Drew -- thanks -- I knew that.

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view.

There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 02:57:04 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 02:57:04 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2350.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Myke, all data traffic between frontend and backend is going over the network, so I would doubt that splitting the backend would cause better performance. But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine. Michael -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]Im Auftrag von Myke Myers Gesendet: Freitag, 24. Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves.

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view.

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine.

I haven't received any message from the list for several days so I thought I'd try sending this again] I seem to remember running into this in the past and can't for the life of me remember what I did to get around it. I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance! I know one of you genius' out there will know what I'm doing wrong immediately!

And free to use for anything else than a SAP solution: SAP DB can be used free of charge in non-SAP environments. There are various Support Models offered for SAP DB.

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:15:19 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:15:19 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D23CA.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Given the talk about worms don't forget to change your MSDE SysAdmin account password Otherwise if you connect SQL to the Net everyone and his dog will be in there.

BEfore you can patch the worm you have to have SP2 installed for SQL Server. SP3 also has a patch for the worm. So if your infected I would suggest using a firewall to block the port used by the worm or stop SQL Server accessing the internet. Anyone any better ideas or know any more. I have two evual versions plus one full version running. The full version is fixed but the other machines are now turned of. If you dont do this there will be no end to this worm.

Then set up the code so the databases will either automatically of manually synchronizes. This will reduce the impact on the applications without adversely affecting performance or stability. Make sure the users only have access to MDE files, which are read-only, not directly the MDB files. This will reduce any I/O errors. Try to expedite the process towards a SQL BE database...This is much faster and more reliable. Use ADO-OLE connection...but this is getting ahead of ourselves. HTH Jim -----Original Message----- From: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Myke Myers Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 1:24 PM To: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

They had about 15 user input stations which were online and used probably 80% of the day, then another 5 "public" stations which could only view the data, and another 5 stations which came in via Terminal Server. What would occasionally happen, without any warning or any consistancy, someone would login to the database, and when they tried to lookup data, they'd get the message "Unrecognized database format..." and eventually everyone would be locked out of the database. At this point, everyone had to be kicked out of the database, repair/compact (access97, so it was a double effort) before anyone could get back in. Believe it or not, we've narrowed it down to a HARDWARE issue in their network/server. The corruption of the BE was being caused (we think at this point) by improper exiting from the database by the clients. Not caused by the users themselves, but by the switches/hubs they had in their network which were marginal and were causing some users to lose the network connection to the BE, and when the JET engine finds one of the record flags still set, it marks the database as corrupt and stops any more connections. The MIS guy also had a timeout set on the Terminal Servers so that it would terminate the connection after a certain period of time. This might do the same thing...exiting the database improperly. He's moved around a lot of the connections so they now are not through a single hub/switch (load balancing) and has done some upgrading of the TS so it shuts down the Access program instead of terminating the connection. We're down to about one corruption every two or three MONTHS...which is better than once a week (we had it crash 3 times in 2 days at one stretch...). I hope this helps...or at least gives you some other avenues to view. Greg Smith Programmer/Trainer weeden1949 at hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Myke Myers" To: Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k by Andrea Montanari http://www.asql.biz/DbaMgr.shtm MS does not include any visual tool to manage MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installation and administration, only the text based oSql.exe; equivalent to a DOS cmdline window. These two programs provide a GUI program interface to MSDE. You also dont have to find an install of SQL Server 2000 to get Enterprise Manager. Just install DBAMgr on client site. DbaMgr and DbaMgr2k provide a graphic management interface for MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 installations. It allows you to manage and administer your SQL server, databases and database objects from a Windows interface similar to the one Enterprise Manager provides, rather than via the standard oSql.exe command line utility: an alternative inexpensive console/management tool for Microsoft Sql Server 7.0/MSDE 1.0 and SqlServer 2000/MSDE 2000 respectively, plus some other functionality. Provided with built-in English and Italian language localization, supports user defined language translation DbaMgr requires Ado2.5 (MDAC2.5) and portion of SqlServer 7.0 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo; DbaMgr2K requires Ado2.6 (MDAC2.6) and portion of SqlServer 2000 Client Components containing Sql-Dmo You can also download full VB6 source code,useful to learn SQL-DMO commands and API. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:29:18 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:29:18 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D23FC.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> there are a number of free firewalls out there, I used to swear by tiny's personal firewall, it seems many people like ZonAlarm but I've had much better success and flexability with Sygate's personal firewall... if you upgrade (only 29.99 IIRC) they give you a whole arsenal worth of tools but they are not really needed in the sense that you can do block and allow anything you want. -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 10:41 AM Subject: [AccessD] SQL WOrm : Just for info : : You cannot AFAIK patch the evual of SQL Server 2000.

If you use SAP?DB as a database system for SAP solutions, a maintenance contract is required. Thus, if are looking for a heavy duty ERP engine but don't have the budget for Oracle/MSSQL/DB2 pay this very neat site (including full on-line documentation) a visit: http://www.sapdb.org/ You can even order a cd-rom with the complete site and all downloads free of charge (pick the link CD-ROM). /gustav _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:47:33 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:47:33 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2282.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Your test seems to have broken it, Martin!

IMO this is probably a network problem. NIC's are the first suspect. Start checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed. If that doesn't work log users in and out of a log file in a seperate mdb. Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software problems. Is the network TCPIP? Look at the Hubs. Are them dumb hubs or switched routers? Database programs demand much higher quality than most other apps.

I am migrating an A97DB from Win95 to Win2000Pro and everything is working fine EXCEPT when printing. This particular Db prints LOTS of single page reports in quick succession in varying quantities and I use the PRTDEVMODE properties to change parameters such as quantity, tray to print to etc. My printers tend to slip into LETTER size when they should be in A4... This happens intermittently and may happen on the first report or the 50th ....of course the printer drivers default is LETTER before it is set up and I think there is some sort of error when setting the DEVMODE properties causing the driver to fall back to its defaults .... Has anyone else experienced this behaviour in Win2000Pro? It works fine on Win95 (but of course that has its own set of problems ) Any help greatly appreciated Regards Tom Keatley _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:49:00 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:49:00 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2291.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> Well, sorta - most of the messages are coming through with this Message not deliverable subject line.

I have a stored query that brings back all financial data for all months for each vendor. I base a summary form on that query. Within the summary form I drill down to specific vendors-a detail form. Rather than using a separate stored query just for the purpose of having vendor criteria I am resetting the SQL in the stored query, on open of the detail form, using the querydefs collection. The issue is, I'll open my detail form and all the data is there - not just the data for that particular query. However, the right variable is getting passed in AND I open the original query and it shows the criteria correctly - in other words, my manipulation of the querydef is happening correctly. I also refresh the querydefs collection before I requery my form on open. My code is below: Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks so much in advance!

I am using a lot of controls on my forms that use event procedures. If I want to trigger an event procedure I put the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' in the corresponding event entry of the property window. That works fine until my app is used on a different machine that has an English version of A2K. In most of the controls, the text '[Ereignisprozedur]' is replaced automatically by '[Event procedure]'. But sometimes on some controls the text is not replaced and is causing the following runtime error: "Myapp can't find the macro 'Ereignisprozedur'". The problem can be fixed by putting [Event Procedure] into the event-property of the control. The problem occurs on 1 or 2 controls only. Before I distribute my app to the client, I always compile / compress / repair the database file. What could be causing this problem?

In Access 2000 and Up Microsoft introduced ADP's which directly hook into SQL Server (or MSDE). One exciting thing about Sql Server is that each session has a completely independent temp session from other sessions, that is if Bob and Mary both log in and create a temp table "myTemp" each will have a separate instance of "myTEMP" that is 100% independent from the other. When working within an ADP, (access 2000) you get a series of 'in-non-ovations' that get the ADP to be 'too' smart for its own good and you end up looking at your screen hoping to find where it's neck is so you can ring it! :D. None-the-less, workarounds are available. One such that I've found is that if I create a full connection object and keep it alive I can pass this object about my app and continue to use a temp table created many transactions ago by a stored procedure. While typically you want to clean up after the use of a temp table, sometimes it is necessary to keep one alive, that is, until the gui has completed the transaction of a record. One such workaround is to start with a Connection object declared at the top of your form such as Static Conn as ADODB.Connection and somewhere in your code you'd introduce the connection string and open it. and before the form closes you'd expire it (that is close it and set it to nothing). I have not had the opportunity to test this second scenario, but perhaps someone on the list already has? IF you were to instead of explicitly opening your connection object through the traditional method of Conn.connectionstring = "some connection info here" Instead you would just set the Conn object to your CurrentProject.Connection, would that effectively 'clone' the entire object or just the current connection thread that was used at the time it was set? Thus Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection would be the same as simply opening a single threaded connection such as Conn.ConnectionString = "Your Connection Parameters" Conn.Open One criteria for this is that the object must remain in the same connection session so that a temporary table created form a stored procedure where Conn was used as the connection object would still be visible for manipulation from consecutive executions through the same Conn object. I think one major draw back is that a bound subform would need to be bound manually such as Conn.stp_MySproc, rs set subfrmMYsubform.form.recordset = rs traditional attempts to set the datasource such as subFrmMySubForm.Form.DataSource = "Exec stp_MySproc" don't seem to find the temp table, I think this is generally because of the use of a 2nd thread thus a 2nd session thus the temp table would no longer be visible. I know that ADP's use 3 separate threads (connections) into the Sql Server for performance optimization but for cases where you want to manipulate temp tables, they are a PITA. :D thoughts? comments? do I need to be more clear? -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:50:51 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:50:51 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D2285.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> PING -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd From administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk Wed Jan 29 03:51:24 2003 From: administrator at it.glasgow.gov.uk (Administrator) Date: Wed Jan 29 03:51:24 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Message not deliverable Message-ID: <001D228A.C22300@it.glasgow.gov.uk> > So I guess this issue is something OS specific (Win2000 SP2).

But since your departments use distinct sets of tables you might be able to track down an individual client machine that is causing problems. AFAIK locking information is stored in the LDB-file that is created automatically once someone uses a MDB-file. If you have multiple backends, multiple LDB-files will be created. That might have influence on your locking problems. Database corruption can be caused by a crashing client machine or faulty network connections. Since the server containing your backend db seems to be pretty busy it might be worth moving the backend(s) to different machine. Michael -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:AccessD-owner at databaseadvisors.com]Im Auftrag von Myke Myers Gesendet: Freitag, 24. Januar 2003 22:24 An: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Betreff: [AccessD] Access Multi-User BE Problems I've developed an application for a corporate compliance dept that has grown considerably in the last 4 years. There are about 25 users going in and out all day. Only a few are entering data. The frontend app is on the user's PC, with linked tables to the backend (BE). The BE is on a busy server that handles many other applications. Several users are coming in via a VPN. This database gets locked up and/or corrupted about once a week. This has become a significant problem. Migrating to Sql Server is in the distant future, but I need to improve the situation now. I'm thinking of breaking out the data tables in the BE database into separate databases, grouped by departmental function. I would retain the one frontend application. I hope that this would increase responsiveness, reduce down time and data corruption, and help us identify who/what is causing problems. At least if one BE database gets corrupted, it wouldn't take out all the users while it gets fixed. Anyone have insight to share?

In many cases we have been able to divide projects up among several contributors. In this case, the last step of our transfer from the previous to the new host had to be done by Bro, who has just recently got a new pretty tough job and has to work hard for it. Many of us do not understand what it takes to transfer such a list, and why there are delays involved which are pure technical nature. On some things you can work as hard as you like, it wont go faster. This total effort of selecting new hosts, saving the address lists, saving the web site, organizing who can do what when etc, was shared between a large number of list members like Bro, Kathryn, Seth, Martin, Donna, Pamela, and many more. I myself have seen how little I know about that, yesterday I have even been so naive to think I could send a message to you all, explaining the status, but I got a respons that I cannot send more than 100 msgs per day....

Then you can use a variety of methods to populate that property: set it directly from the calling form, set it using the openargs argument, etc. I generally do that with my forms so that when the form closes, I can simply navigate back to the the CalledFrom object. That approach allows you to do some fairly complex navigation with multiple objects open in a database.

I know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just just not happy." "And why is that Eve?" Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples." "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you". "Man? What is that Lord?" A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things. He will look silly when he is aroused, but since you've been complaining, I'll create him in such way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be too smart, so he will also need your advice to think properly." "Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's the catch Lord?" "Well, you can have him on one condition." "And what's that Lord?"

Message-ID: <2F8793082E00D4119A1700B0D0216BF801D81F0D@main2.marlow.com> Okay, the easiest way to update would be an append. However, I am a code head. So I was hit with this problem about 6 months ago. They wanted to 're-number' an Autonumber field, and the developer had switched to Numbers, and made the change, and wanted to put the 'new' numbers into the table. So I whipped up a little code for this. It uses two recordsets. rsNew and rsOld. rsNew needs to open a blank copy of the table with the Number field, but with an AutoNumber field instead. rsOld opens the number field table. If the records are sorted by that Number, use a SQL statement instead of opening the table directly. Last but not least, there are two lines that say rsNew.Fields(1).value="Test". Fields(1) needs to point to a text field...any text field will do, so just replace the '1' in both places with the first text field in the table. (remember 0 is the first field...) Here's the code: Dim rsNew As Recordset Dim rsOld As Recordset Dim intCurrentKey As Long Dim i As Long Set rsNew = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Problems", dbOpenTable) Set rsOld = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Problems-old3", dbOpenTable) rsOld.MoveFirst Do Until rsOld.EOF = True intCurrentKey = rsOld.Fields(0).Value rsNew.AddNew rsNew.Fields(1).Value = "Test" rsNew.Update rsNew.MoveLast Do Until rsNew.Fields(0).Value = intCurrentKey rsNew.Delete rsNew.AddNew rsNew.Fields(1).Value = "Test" rsNew.Update rsNew.MoveLast Loop rsNew.Edit For i = 1 To rsOld.Fields.Count - 1 rsNew.Fields(i).Value = rsOld.Fields(i).Value Next i rsNew.Update rsOld.MoveNext Loop MsgBox "Done" -----Original Message----- From: William Hindman [mailto:dejpolsys at hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 11:56 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Autonumber Corruption ...Help!!!! ...I did something really stupid ...not enough sleep I guess :( ...tblCompany.CompID is an Autonumber PK in a be mdb ...one of clients computers disconnected suddenly and corrupted the mdb ...an entire record in tblCompany was corrupted and repair did not fix it ...so I went to an archive from December and copied the record and pasted it into the current table ...all fine except that the AN PK had now changed and would not let me replace it with the original :( ...so I got stupid and went into design mode and changed the type from AN to a long ...fixed the PK ...then tried to change the data type back ...and of course it won't let me :((((( ...the company owner has last night's server backup tape but is in Miami and no one can reach him :((((( ...is there any way on god's green earth I can repair this?

My method works, but it's essentially a 'hack'. Also, it bloats your database, so you need to compact right afterwards. Just call me the Complicator!

Just thought I'd share something I worked out just now, only 'cause I thought it was spiffy and was sure newbies and oldies might find a use for it. So a user comes up to me and asks me to make a report that they would need to generate from time to time which would contain a week's-worth of data. However, they might not always generate it on time and so would need to be able to get data from any given week. "No problem!" I told them. And it turns out I was right. I'll leave the interface up to you, because the spiffy part is getting the first and last day of the week. We always wanted to get data from a given week, starting with Sunday and ending with Saturday (standard Western week period). The solution lies in a little built-in function called Weekday(). This function returns the ordinal value of the day of the week given that day as a Date value. So Weekday(#1/29/2003#) would return 4. With a bit of simple math and the use of the DateAdd() function, we can get either the start date or end date of a week given any date with one line of code each. Here are the two functions I wrote (error-hendler left out): Public Function basGetWeekStart(dte As Date) As Date 'Subtract the ordinal value of dte and add 1 to get the Sunday ' before dte basGetWeekStart = DateAdd("d", -(Weekday(dte)) + 1, dte) End Function Public Function basGetWeekEnd(dte As Date) As Date 'Subtract the ordinal value of dte from 7 (vbSaturday = 7) ' and add that many days to dte to get the Saturday after dte basGetWeekEnd = DateAdd("d", vbSaturday - (Weekday(dte)), dte) End Function Note that by default, Weekday() uses Sunday as the start of the week, but that can be overriden to suit your needs by adding one more parameter value to the function call. See Help on the function for constant values to use. This is the kind of code I like: simple, elegant, and relatively self-explanitory. Enjoy!

However, I would contend that using DateAdd() is a "safer" way of doing it, in that if MS ever changes how dates are stored, presumably DateAdd will still act as expected. I suppose it's also a matter of personal style. Performance-wise, either way should be fiarly equivalent. I've never noticed a significant lag when using DateAdd.

Doesn't the 'linking' process try to 'find' the source? You could strip the 'prompts', and hardcode the 'path'. Then have the opening code on your database check to see if it can open a 'linked' table, if it can't, have it relink the tables with your hard coded path. (the user wouldn't see anything at all, and you now have relinked tables when you need them). Just a thought.

In many cases we have been able to divide projects up among several contributors. In this case, the last step of our transfer from the previous to the new host had to be done by Bro, who has just recently got a new pretty tough job and has to work hard for it. Many of us do not understand what it takes to transfer such a list, and why there are delays involved which are pure technical nature. On some things you can work as hard as you like, it wont go faster. This total effort of selecting new hosts, saving the address lists, saving the web site, organizing who can do what when etc, was shared between a large number of list members like Bro, Kathryn, Seth, Martin, Donna, Pamela, and many more. I myself have seen how little I know about that, yesterday I have even been so naive to think I could send a message to you all, explaining the status, but I got a respons that I cannot send more than 100 msgs per day.... Leaves me only to say great thanks to all who helped in this transfer.

Yup - it was already announced that that is the case. We now have a split host system (that's a *good* thing). The website is hosted by Korksoft and you now need the www to get there.

Drew, I think it is safe to stop archiving the new messages if you choose to do so. But please leave the site up for awhile. I've changed the Search link on the website to show your http://intranet.marlow.com/AccessD link as well as the Wolfware one. > Let me know.

For now, there are other priorities, and since you have the space, just leave it as is until they are ready to ask for back stuff. Thanks again, for taking up the slack in our archives.

He admits it's a bonehead thing to do but wonders if there's a way to prevent him from doing that (be serious, now). Is there a way to stop that?

In the "Access 97 Developer's Handbook (Litwin, Getz & Gilbert)", the entire Chapter 10 is devoted to exactly what you are trying to accomplish - and more. If you own or can buy/borrow a copy, I would suggest that you do so first. It contains reasonably easy-to-follow instructions for handling all of the printing parameters, including paper sizes (pg 597).

Their operators type information into this program from phone calls, messages, and their web site. They do all of this manually, which makes sense for the phone calls, but it seems that there should be a way to replace Email with a web form, and have that information piped into the program...I'll stop short of saying I know there is, because I have absolutely no experience w/this. Now, this department is being "taken over" by an "outside" agency...budget problems have prompted the removal of a couple of depts. and they are being adopted by other sources. This is supposedly a good thing for the county, so I was given as a contact to aide in the migration...basically just answering questions. I guess my boss has setup some sort of support contract w/these folks. Back to the actual question...I spoke to the new director of this agency, yesterday, and he was surprised that they enter information from Email directly. He asked if there wasn't a way to pick the data out of the Email and put it into the DB. I told him that, what they should look into was to have a form on their website, and this data could be put into the DB, w/out human intervention. I did preface this by pointing out that I did not know how to do this. Is this possible? What does it take? What does it take considering the DB is already existant and wasn't programmed for this? Also, they currently use FrontPage for their site, which is hosted by an outside provider. If it can be done, but not w/FrontPage, I just need to tell them this. As it stands now, my involvement ends with a recommendation. But, if it is doable, I am thinking of offering my services. It is just that I am so busy right now, that I don't want to get in over my head either.

You probably have some idea how valuable this list is to its members, but in case you need reminding, even though I'm one of the "advanced" developers on this list, I pretty much regard it as my email home page. I look here first for questions I can answer and threads of interest. I very frequently copy code fragments from email messages into my CodeLib.MDB, which I keep fairly well organized by topic and keywords, so that for example I can jump in and find samples of ADO command and parameter objects. I paste in a snippet and do a couple of replaces and boom, next problem. Speaking of CodeLib.MDB, it appears that you cannot open it with Access or otherwise get into it, except through its front end. This is unfortunate, since it prevents easy merging of, say, your CodeLib.MDB with my own. I've tried importing &c to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas for how to get around this? I think that CodeLib is almost as valuable as this list, other than its inability to share :-) Arthur From John.Clark at niagaracounty.com Thu Jan 30 10:23:00 2003 From: John.Clark at niagaracounty.com (John Clark) Date: Thu Jan 30 10:23:00 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Web form data into Access97 Message-ID: Thanks, I'll look into this.

I used FrontPage to make the pretty html page and include statements inside the combo boxes(drop down lists) to insert VBScript code to load the options from the on-line mdb. That made it an asp page. The submit button sends the data to an asp page that validates and either rejects or adds the record to the on-line mdb. As John Clark points out, you can send email with plain vanilla HTML and generate a comma delimited file with FrontPage Extensions(check with web hosting company) and import that into Access. I use DSN-less ODBC connections to avoid interaction with the tech support people. That calls for a real IIS 5 rather than an imitation. Except for the email, you have to solve the problem of accessing the on-line data from your workstation. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 11:04 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Web form data into Access97 You have a few different choices, and which is appropriate depends on their preferences, your skill set, the ISP hosting the site, &c.

This is what I did. Liz suggested to map the drive on a local drive to mirror the client's. I couldn't use this suggestion because the location is not mapped. I have to use the network path. Drew's suggestion worked. I created the module and put a button on the main menu. I added a table with one boolean field called tableLinked. When the button is clicked, it's hidden after the tables have been relinked. I had to walk the client through the process of finding the backend, but it did save me a trip.

John, Indirect replication is the way to go. What this is is a setup where each system has a "drop box". A file with the changes are placed there and replication then takes place locally.

Eventually they will have a T1 connection between the to locations so I can just share the database or eventually upsize to SQLServer. Both sites have Hi Speed access to the net. So what's the best method in the short run. Replication through some type of FTP server (if even possible), VPN (Never really investigated this), Web Enable database (never did this and would probably need help from someone), Somehow connect to database via ODBC through the net (is that the same as web enabling the database?)

There have been problems with the original release of A2k losing its paper settings and that was supposedly patched in a service release. Also, if the printer the report was formatted for doesn't exist on that machine, the settings will return to the default, which is Letter. If you're talking about printer paper size, the system settings can be accessed through PrtDevMode using API calls in versions before AXP. AXP has a printer object that allows you to get the information without the direct API calls. We have a routine that uses the API calls you can find in the ADH and opens a report in design view in code and sets the paper settings before the report is printed, since our applications could be anywhere in the world and we can't control what printer they'll have.

References: Message-ID: <001701c2c89b$1b396eb0$6400000a@dogbert2k> I routinely create one monster detail query (now view) with all the fields in it and all the preassigned where conditions and then base a set or related reports on this view. I also have between 10 and 20 optional criteria the user can select - some single value some multi-value. I then base varying levels of summary, rollup and crosstab reports on this single "Base" query. I want a general method to pass the criteria to the "Base query" when I run a report based on a view that is solely based in this base query but may not necessarily need the criteria fields (eg. views with group by and sum functions. This is going against Sql 7 from an Access 2000 adp. Based on my understanding now, I would have to put all this into a stored procedure, have all the parameters in it, and with the Base table being a User Session Table (eg. #Name) being generated first based on the parameters and following TSql code referring to it. As this returns a recordset I assume I'd have to make the final sql code return a table. Any thoughts or hints on problems or ways to do this would be greatly appreciated. Tom ps. I'm using a product called DynamiCube from Data Dynamics and I've fallen in love with it. I've programmed a general data cube form and all the rest is data driven. It allows total end user futzing around and then they can export to excel or print a report. If you're in the market for this kind of power and flexibility I'd highly recommend taking a look at this product - it's about $500 per developer - no license or runtime fees.

I have had no trouble getting this type of app to work with several commercial web hosts. You are looking at Active Server Pages (ASP) to "front" the database on the web in the form of a web form. I do most of my ASP programming (Vbscript) directly in Notepad, but have also used FrontPage or Dreamweaver for the layout and then inserted the ASP code into the resulting document -- then changed the file extension to .ASP. In short, it is definitely doable. If it is a relatively small project and you are good at self training, I'd take it on and force myself to learn ASP. There are many good ASP devoted websites out there, and code for many basic tasks is readily available. ASP is certainly not the only approach, but it is one that I know works.

Yes, PCs running SQL Server are susceptible to Slammer infections. The whole world has learned that the hard way. But SQL Server's only part of the story. According to Microsoft, users of MSDE 2000 are also susceptible to Slammer infections. It would be helpful if he would spell it out to his readers that you have SQL Server if you have MSDE vX. He later rectifies this by adding this line as a sort of sarcasm. First, SQL Server, er, MSDE, is a full-fledged server. .... It requires all the care and feeding that any huge Microsoft product demands, and it's definitely not suitable for garden-variety Office users like you or me. You can't run MSDE on older hardware. Keeping it updated and working properly is almost a full-time job. With very rare exceptions, MSDE just ain't worth the effort, regardless of the vacuous arguments MS proffers to the contrary (e.g., http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/deployment/70/msdejet.asp?LN=en-us&gss nb=1 ). I'm not too convinced that he read the article he pointed to. After reading it, I did not get the impression that MS was specifically pushing MSDE very hard, in fact I thought they gave JET 4. a 'hyped' notation. While Jet 4 is the next version there have been weird inconsistencies vs. sticking with the Jet 3.5 version Second, MSDE is vulnerable to many (dare I say "most"?) How about he says ALL of the vulnerabilities that SQL Server has? I have to give him credit for pushing his e-zine w/compation, and even making it plainly obvious that if you run any number of applications you may unknowingly already be running Sql Server ala MSDE.. One thing he mentioned in this article was that Access 2002 (XP) does not let you administer your copy of SQL Server as it did in 2k is this true? I suspect he overlooked it because he also said that in Access2000 you couldn't run a backup, which all he had to do was go to Tools > Utilities > Backup from the menu in an Access ADP.... :o) -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hollis,Virginia" To: Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 12:02 PM Subject: RE: [AccessD] SQL Worm : Did you read the latest from Woodys Office Watch, "WOW #8.03 - Latest worm : isn't just for servers"?

The website is currently hosted by a hosting company (imagine that), and I imagine they will keep this, but again, I don't really know for sure. I spoke w/the woman who is in charge of this in that department yesterday...she is actualy their web master...and she said that they cannot use a webform. This is because they run this data through a query and pass it into a program called "Mailers +", to do their mailings (they send out travel guides, fishing guides, etc.), and apparently they end up w/more work if they use customer typed data. The Mailers + program will kick out an address as bad, if they type out "street", "rural route", "road", etc.. It requires abbreviations. She may be shading things a bit too, because her job may be in jeopardy with this move. They already have a form on their website (http://www.niagara-usa.com), so I'm thinking it might not be that difficult. I am going to step away for now. My boss doesn't seem to be too gung-ho for me to be involved, and I'm actually swamped for the next few months. I'm going to call the guy today, and tell him that it may be possible to do, but there are issues that may prevent this. He will have to work more closely with the woman I spoke with...he has been told this by three different people, including myself, and he seems to be avoiding her. I thank everyone for their input though...as usual it was very helpful. I actually want to get into a project like this at some point, to gain the experience. Thanks again! John W Clark >>> DWUTKA at marlow.com 01/30/03 02:56PM >>> Where is your database? Is it on the hosting company's webserver, or is it local to you? If it is local to you, that may be interesting, because you'd be pushing data back to your network. Not impossible, just a pain to setup. If the database is on the webserver itself, it's a snap, using ASP (if your Hosting company provides ASP capability). Drew -----Original Message----- From: John Clark [mailto:John.Clark at niagaracounty.com] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 8:27 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Web form data into Access97 About two years ago, I wrote a program for our Tourism department that tracks their 800 line requests. Their operators type information into this program from phone calls, messages, and their web site. They do all of this manually, which makes sense for the phone calls, but it seems that there should be a way to replace Email with a web form, and have that information piped into the program...I'll stop short of saying I know there is, because I have absolutely no experience w/this. Now, this department is being "taken over" by an "outside" agency...budget problems have prompted the removal of a couple of depts. and they are being adopted by other sources. This is supposedly a good thing for the county, so I was given as a contact to aide in the migration...basically just answering questions. I guess my boss has setup some sort of support contract w/these folks. Back to the actual question...I spoke to the new director of this agency, yesterday, and he was surprised that they enter information from Email directly. He asked if there wasn't a way to pick the data out of the Email and put it into the DB. I told him that, what they should look into was to have a form on their website, and this data could be put into the DB, w/out human intervention. I did preface this by pointing out that I did not know how to do this. Is this possible? What does it take? What does it take considering the DB is already existant and wasn't programmed for this? Also, they currently use FrontPage for their site, which is hosted by an outside provider. If it can be done, but not w/FrontPage, I just need to tell them this. As it stands now, my involvement ends with a recommendation. But, if it is doable, I am thinking of offering my services. It is just that I am so busy right now, that I don't want to get in over my head either.

Visit http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd Yes this is because the default setting is to make your email visible on the roster list. No worries though it's not like you can't remove your name from the list, but the principal is the same. The system autogenerates a password for you, since you don't know it when you click on your email address it will send you the link and your system created password in order to let you change you options and you password as well. Once in your user options go to the section labled Conceal yourself from subscriber list. This in effect will hide your name from the main roster page that is visible by any spam-bot picking up email addresses. True the email address is not displayed as "email at server.com" but 'email at server.com" is not too tought for a spam-bot to clean up... so if you don't like your email address listed publicly out on the worldwideweb run dont walk to change your user settings http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd and by the look of things, hardly anyone cares or knows about this vulnerability... -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com From MarkBoyd at McBeeAssociates.com Fri Jan 31 10:43:01 2003 From: MarkBoyd at McBeeAssociates.com (Mark Boyd) Date: Fri Jan 31 10:43:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] 'Find' Dialog Box Message-ID: <42DE35C7D61279419C166543CD42F405C9AF@mail2k.mcbassoc.com> Is there a way to make the 'Find' dialog box disappear immediately after it finds a record?

I think it would be a good experience in group development. I also think that working through a process in team development will help me manage projects better even when I'm on my own. How to get the balance between planning, documenting and acutally getting the job done has been a tough one for me. I've worked for a government agency who "got religion" about planning, quality and control. They planned and controlled the H*** out of small projects but had trouble actually getting quality jobs delivered. I was at a meeting where they debated how to name Access Indexes for 40 minutes. Their QA gal is the Princess of Darkness personified and basically acts as a Uber Program Designer - after the fact and with limited understanding of the customers needs. But she's definetely got the program under control. We won't even talk about the process of getting paid. It hurts too much. I have a real rough ap that takes a swipe at doing this but haven't done anything with it for a year or so. If elected I will serve and if asked I will donate this app for a starting point.

Visit http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd Yes this is because the default setting is to make your email visible on the roster list. No worries though it's not like you can't remove your name from the list, but the principal is the same. The system autogenerates a password for you, since you don't know it when you click on your email address it will send you the link and your system created password in order to let you change you options and you password as well. Once in your user options go to the section labled Conceal yourself from subscriber list. This in effect will hide your name from the main roster page that is visible by any spam-bot picking up email addresses. True the email address is not displayed as "email at server.com" but 'email at server.com" is not too tought for a spam-bot to clean up... so if you don't like your email address listed publicly out on the worldwideweb run dont walk to change your user settings http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/roster/accessd and by the look of things, hardly anyone cares or knows about this vulnerability... -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com From my.lists at verizon.net Fri Jan 31 10:58:01 2003 From: my.lists at verizon.net (Francisco H Tapia) Date: Fri Jan 31 10:58:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Email spam risk Message-ID: <007801c2c94a$04e7faf0$b615010a@FHTAPIA> Forgot to mention, that one particular reason I jumped on this soap-box was that if you go into the archives, The author's address is concealed with the typical AccessD at databaseadvisors link.

Anyone can see this list, it's public, heck Google may have already cached it!... I see that you are listed twice on the list of emails... and a simple scan will show you that I am no longer on that list since I went through the steps of concealing my address from this main list.

Although I joined the BEU team at the latter stages, I will say without hesitation that it was probably one of the best investments of time I have EVER made. I learned a lot about working as a team. Not to mention I learned how much I DON'T know about Access. (Andy, Reuben, no comments about how well I can break code from you two :-) I say if anyone is sitting on the fence trying to decide if they want to help, I say do it. The rewards are well worth it. The time commitment isn't all consuming. There are peaks and valley in the time required, just like life, and everyone understood if you were quite for a while. As a friend of mine like to say, Life sometimes gets in the way of fun. And it was fun. No Lembit, I don't want to take on the task of leading a project, just yet. Maybe when we get BEU to the stage we want it to get to. Just as a side note, I have a Word Template that I used for the documentation for the BEU that whom ever writes the Docs for the DBA Code Library can use if they wish. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at sympatico.ca I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

IT seems as if most already put "keeper" code in them as it is when they see useful code. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I believe it is best to keep it as is and have a group of people that update a master copy that is made available for download on the accessD website. This way anyone who wants it can download it and use it as is, through the native engine. The only trouble is, who will update it, and who chooses what is good enough to put in the db? Some advance programmers might think that something is not worthwhile to place in this db, OTOH, what if it gets filled with useless stuff? Will they be simply cutting and pasting code from their project that works, using their variables and filed names: Me!lstCompaniesFound.RowSource = "EXEC stp_002A_CompanyNameSearch '" & Me!txtCompanyNameEntry.Text & "'" or will the code be cleaned up as such: Me!YourListBoxNameHere.RowSource = "EXEC YourStoredProcedureNameHere '" & Me!YourEntryTextBox.Text & "'" Will we be asking for full commenting (No War and Peace) of code? just a few thoughts, David McAfee -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Lembit Soobik Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 7:58 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Code Librarian /was Thanks Sure, Pedro, a great idea.

It's not perfect or complete, but I'm guessing that I have invested more time in codelib than other listers, so I will offer my current database as the starting point. There's nothing at all wrong with the CL UI. Well maybe there is, but it works pretty well. However there are two distinct versions, one of which is loaded as an add-in and the other a stand-alone program written I would guess in VB. Before we run off and write something, may I suggest/ask: 1. I don't know how to get around the password issue. (I.e. if you try to open CodeLib.mdb from Access it demands a password. Does anyone know the password? That would be an excellent starting point. Then I could reverse-engineer the db -- not that its structure is difficult to deduce, but simply in the interests of preserving column names and sizes and so on.) 2. The major feature lacking in the stand-alone version is the ability to import and export from various instances of codelib.mdb. Minor features lacking include printing facilities (i.e. print selected fragment(s), topic(s) &c.) 3. I'm not sure precisely when MS switched to the integrated version from the stand-alone version, but I prefer the stand-alone version. Incidentally, I have used it to create various *lib.mdb files for Access, XML, VB, PHP and Perl. In fact, this is the beauty of the product. You can store any kind of code in it that you want (but it only makes sense to create several MDBs each devoted to a particular language). All this said, I'd better fire the sucker up right now and start cleaning up, documenting &c. the snippets I have collected to date, before one of you asks for what I've got already!

Sick Of Spam? Donate It To Science SpamArchive.org Wants To Build Database Of Junk E-Mail Messages Kim Ngan Nguyen, Staff Writer POSTED: 9:11 p.m. MST January 29, 2003 UPDATED: 11:01 a.m. MST January 30, 2003 DENVER -- Do you hate all that spam that clutters your inbox? Well, you can donate it to a good cause. Believe it or not there is a company out there that wants your spam -- all of it. The security company has set up SpamArchive.org and they're compiling a database of every type of junk message so that programmers can test out new anti-spam tools. The reason is: spammers are tricky. They are always changing techniques so even though you've set up an e-mail filter one day, the next day you get more unsolicited e-mail that has found a way around the filter. People working on learning spammers' techniques need a huge database of junk email so that they can test out programs that identify spam and remove it without getting rid of legitimate e-mail (which is one reason why some people don't even set up e-mail filters). So basically, what the site SpamArchive.org wants you to do is instead of just deleting your spam, forward it to them (as an attachment) and they will scrub out your e-mail address and keep that spam for testing purposes. And this database can't come any sooner for a lot of us. A recent survey showed that spam now accounts for 40 percent of all e-mail. It was just less than 10 percent last year.

Why create a public when there's no need? Create a static instead and call it whenever you need it; no need for a public. I can't think of a reason why you might want to do it, but the same technique could easily work in ADP. Grab the current connection and store it in a static var in a static func. Then retrieve it whenever you need it.

Hours per table = MF * NF * NR * EDF Add all the hours per table to get total hours MF = Mess factor (1 or greater) (How messy this junk is. Can you do a quick review and do batch corrects? Can you do some batch converts. Do you have to manually decipher multiple fields entered into one field and parse them to correct fields?) NF = Number of fields you have to check. NR = Number of rows you have to check. EDF = Experimentally determined factor (Theoretically less than 1) In practice it could take 1/2 day to weeks. It depends. I usually work with knowledgable users to analize, list the types of problems, and figure out how to correct each one. I rely on the users to do the manual deciphering/correcting (they know the data a lot better than you ever will.) You might try providing a sample table with list of problems to correct and get group feedback on times. However, since the monkeys won in our recent group joke contest you might just tell the customer you'll have to work by the hour as this kind of stuff can not be estimated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Barrows" To: Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 2:10 PM Subject: RE: [AccessD] Estimating Help > OK, I think I have continued to confuse everyone. > > All I want / need to know is if anyone has a formula for estimating time > to clean the garbage out of the database tables.

Although I joined the BEU team at the latter stages, I will say without hesitation that it was probably one of the best investments of time I have EVER made. I learned a lot about working as a team. Not to mention I learned how much I DON'T know about Access. (Andy, Reuben, no comments about how well I can break code from you two :-) I say if anyone is sitting on the fence trying to decide if they want to help, I say do it. The rewards are well worth it. The time commitment isn't all consuming. There are peaks and valley in the time required, just like life, and everyone understood if you were quite for a while. As a friend of mine like to say, Life sometimes gets in the way of fun. And it was fun. No Lembit, I don't want to take on the task of leading a project, just yet. Maybe when we get BEU to the stage we want it to get to. Just as a side note, I have a Word Template that I used for the documentation for the BEU that whom ever writes the Docs for the DBA Code Library can use if they wish. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at sympatico.ca I used to have a handle on life, but it broke. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com From dejpolsys at hotmail.com Fri Jan 31 15:54:01 2003 From: dejpolsys at hotmail.com (William Hindman) Date: Fri Jan 31 15:54:01 2003 Subject: [AccessD] Estimating Help Message-ID: ...by "garbage" I assume you mean incorrectly entered data such as names, addresses, etc ...and that once the cleanup is completed, then you will archive the oldest data. ...garbage cleanup is the hardest thing I do for new clients ...they want "perfection" and that is often damn hard to achieve ...so I look at their data ...really look at it ...then I make a WAG as to how many hours it will take me ...then I quadruple that WAG ...because the WAG is ALWAYS low ...and although I want the business, I have bills to pay. ...one suggestion ...I've found that using Dave Bell's Proper Case mdb (www.colbyconsulting.com) is really a major help in this kind of work ...forget its name and look at all its capable of doing in a garbage filled db ...HTH :) William >From: "Jeff Barrows" >Reply-To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com >To: >Subject: RE: [AccessD] Estimating Help >Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 07:09:05 -0600 > >Sorry, I should have been a little more specific.

For instance, I have a category in my CodeLib that I call Information and I put snippets of things in there that otherwise I may not remember, like the method for getting the hWnd of a control or how to use the Recordset.Name property of a DAO recordset to retrieve the SQL used to create it. Or we might have a separate database for DAO code and one for ADO code. Of course, then we'd need a way to cross index them ....

IT seems as if most already put "keeper" code in them as it is when they see useful code. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I believe it is best to keep it as is and have a group of people that update a master copy that is made available for download on the accessD website. This way anyone who wants it can download it and use it as is, through the native engine. The only trouble is, who will update it, and who chooses what is good enough to put in the db? Some advance programmers might think that something is not worthwhile to place in this db, OTOH, what if it gets filled with useless stuff? Will they be simply cutting and pasting code from their project that works, using their variables and filed names: Me!lstCompaniesFound.RowSource = "EXEC stp_002A_CompanyNameSearch '" & Me!txtCompanyNameEntry.Text & "'" or will the code be cleaned up as such: Me!YourListBoxNameHere.RowSource = "EXEC YourStoredProcedureNameHere '" & Me!YourEntryTextBox.Text & "'" Will we be asking for full commenting (No War and Peace) of code? just a few thoughts, David McAfee -----Original Message----- From: accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-admin at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Lembit Soobik Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 7:58 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Code Librarian /was Thanks Sure, Pedro, a great idea.

The CLBs you create yourself are NOT password protected and you can open them in Access XP. The 2000 version ran as an add-in or from the executable and the MS-provided database was password protected. It allowed you to open only one codelib at a time, but you could choose the one to open. The XP version, once you get used to the differences, is a vastly superior application. The XP version also allows you to use multiple codelibs at the same time, and as in the previous version you can create your own. Plus there is a CodeLibViewer that can open a codelib for those who don't have the app installed. Charlotte Foust -----Original Message----- From: Arthur Fuller [mailto:artful at rogers.com] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 11:07 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Code Librarian /was Thanks Allow me to jump in, since I originated this thread :-) I volunteer to head the development team on this project, and to provide the initial database offering. It's not perfect or complete, but I'm guessing that I have invested more time in codelib than other listers, so I will offer my current database as the starting point. There's nothing at all wrong with the CL UI. Well maybe there is, but it works pretty well. However there are two distinct versions, one of which is loaded as an add-in and the other a stand-alone program written I would guess in VB. Before we run off and write something, may I suggest/ask: 1. I don't know how to get around the password issue. (I.e. if you try to open CodeLib.mdb from Access it demands a password. Does anyone know the password? That would be an excellent starting point. Then I could reverse-engineer the db -- not that its structure is difficult to deduce, but simply in the interests of preserving column names and sizes and so on.) 2. The major feature lacking in the stand-alone version is the ability to import and export from various instances of codelib.mdb. Minor features lacking include printing facilities (i.e. print selected fragment(s), topic(s) &c.) 3. I'm not sure precisely when MS switched to the integrated version from the stand-alone version, but I prefer the stand-alone version. Incidentally, I have used it to create various *lib.mdb files for Access, XML, VB, PHP and Perl. In fact, this is the beauty of the product. You can store any kind of code in it that you want (but it only makes sense to create several MDBs each devoted to a particular language). All this said, I'd better fire the sucker up right now and start cleaning up, documenting &c. the snippets I have collected to date, before one of you asks for what I've got already!

Most of the time i am a Cytologist who works in a Pedro, Let me start out by saying that I am not trying to push you into doing anything you don't want to do, but consider this for a moment. I am a member of the BEU Team, but I am not a full time DB developer either. I am an Admin Assistant, so don't let your "position" hold you back from helping out if you can. Everyone here is understanding and helpful to folks that are learning.

Why not make a networked library. You could have a multi-server service (I would be willing to help build and host), that holds 'public' code. Then have the client program store both, public and private code. The servers would be used to sync everyone. Having multiple servers would prevent problems if one server goes offline.

Why not make a networked library. You could have a multi-server service (I would be willing to help build and host), that holds 'public' code. Then have the client program store both, public and private code. The servers would be used to sync everyone. Having multiple servers would prevent problems if one server goes offline.
