Second: The system knows where to send the packets. Third: Both of your sets of packets try to resolve through the same backbone server, described as 38.136.211.66.inaddr.G4.NET in a vain attempt to get to [66.211.136.38] I tried to access the backbone server [38.136.211.66] from here and got the same time-out error, from this end. That suggests the server at 38.136.211.66 is down and the world-wide web network is not going around this impediment...curious. I thought there was an automated process that routed around downed servers/pipelines... evidentially not in this case. I guess the NT guy is holidaying in Greece.

Any ideas why this happens? Unless there are any ideas for a better approach/workaround...I plan on movig the DIR inside the loop...and then deleting the .zip file after its extracted...then add an IF statement that ends the loop if the DIR returns nothing.

I suspect your loop is finished running before the program you shelled to has done its thing. I found this out by creating a batch file to run via the shell and killing the file as the next command. Access killed the file before it could run. I solved it by making Access wait a few seconds.

If I use a different customer number and tab, the value saves. If I expose column 1 then this customer number is saved. If I select the customer using a mouse, the value saves. I cannot find any differences in this value with any other record in my table, so I am at a loss to explain what this one value is doing.

This is running entirely outside of Access. The reason it's related to Access is that my error handler checks to see if that file is present under the name of DevFile.txt. If it isn't present thne the user is prompted to print the error message and it is written to a log file. If it is present, then a msgbox offers to debug the code. It's a tip I got from reading Access Security Ideas from an Experienced Developer (http://www.vb123.com/toolshed/05_access/accesssprotectionideas.htm). I've found it to be an excellent error handler since all the others I've seen don't give you a clue about where the runtime error actually occurred.

If it does the file can not be renamed over an existing file. Line2, places the program on the c drive if it is not already so. If the file exists already got to the end of the batch file. Line3, places the program in the root directory of the c drive. Line4, renames the file DevFile.txt that exists on the c drive on the root directory to a file named DevFileX.txt. Line 5, Is the label 'end' at the end of the batch file which the first line send control to if certain conditions are meet. This is a very primitive example but it should give you the idea.

Each drive maintains its own "current directory". If you are currently in D:\MyDir, the command "CD C:\" will change the "current directory of Drive C:" to the root but will not put you there. You will still be in D:\MyDir after the command. -- Stuart From markamatte at hotmail.com Mon May 2 22:53:36 2005 From: markamatte at hotmail.com (Mark A Matte) Date: Tue, 03 May 2005 03:53:36 +0000 Subject: [AccessD] Unzip Files Part II In-Reply-To: <123701F54509D9119A4F00D0B747349016D3F3@main2.marlow.com> Message-ID: Drew, Thanks for all the feedback...

What we're doing at my place is giving each user a link to a batch file on their TS desktop. The .mde sits on a shared network drive and the batch file copies the mde over to the user's personal folder each time, and then opens that copied mde. As far as the user is concerned, she/he is simply opening the same database as every other user. This prevents bloat by giving the user a fresh mde each time; it also makes rolling out new mde's a lot easier as we just have to copy the new one to a single location. Other than the bloat, I think the only performance consideration comes down to the old Access chestnut of concurrent users, i.e. the fewer the better - the approach outlined above guarantees only one user per .mde. The other reason we took this route was due to locking issues: in my mde, reports are altered at runtime placing the mde in exclusive lock - obviously you only want one user in the db doing this or all the others will be booted out. HTH, any other questions gladly answered!! Cheers Tom -----Original Message----- From: Paul M.

My situation is such: I have an A2K application that talks to a SQL Server database. Currently I have one (1) .mde front end on a Windows 2K3 Terminal server. All TS users have a link to that .mde on their desktop. I have been toying with the idea of placing a copy of the .mde file for each user to run independently. Apart from the issue of the ability to update the .mde front end, do you know if there are any major issues of one approach over the next, particularly from a system performance standpoint?

My app here generates lots of emails, interfacing with Outlook/Exchange. We also have other equipment generating emails (eg UPS, plant machinery). What I want to do now is trigger receipt of certain emails to generate text messages to mobiles. There seem to be lots of Outlook add-ins which sort of do what I want but I can't see one immediately that's an exact fit. Ideally we'd like it be Outlook-rule-based, so we can use Outlook's rules to say, for example, any email from that source with that in the subject send it on to xyz, where xyz would be an entry in the Address Book with a mobile number, and have some software which recognises that that has to go as a text message and sends it appropriately. So an add-in which allows you just to type a text message, address it and send it is no use because in the situations we want to use this it must be automated.

Sorry it took so long for me to get to it...they have actually been making me work for my money here lately. Can you believe it...a govt. employee working for their pay? Absurd! Seriously though, I have been really busy on many non-access things...IP Telephony, Spam filtering, network, and some stupid medical billing program that we house on our UNIX box that has no support...AHHHHHH!!! I think for this one, I'll whip it out the simple way, only because I am pressed for time. But, I think what you have explained is what I've had in my head for another program. I have a program on deck for our District Attorney's office that this...or a form of it...may be handy for. When I program...and I'm sure most of you are the same...I try to account for anything that COULD happen, unlike the users who usually respond with something like, "that rarely happens." BUT IT CAN, AND SOMETIMES DOES, HAPPEN! Anyhow, in the DA's case, I ran into a circumstance, which actually has happened, in many different forms. I have to list defendants (I have to refrain from calling them "criminals"), officers, lawyers (both defense and prosecutor), judges, and victims, for a given case. However, it has actually happened, from what I understand, that a victim had also been a defendant in another case. I forget the specifics, but I guess the focus of the case would have been different if they'd known this at that time. It was overlooked, because you have many cases, and these are overseen and handled by different lawyers and clerical staff. I want to flag something like this in my system. Theocratically, and not all that far fetched, a single person can be in the system with many different "labels." For instance lets say I am a defense attorney that goes to work for the DA, or visa versa, which does frequently happen. I am assaulted or robbed one day, and I retaliate myself and assault someone. I am now in the system as both a defense attorney and a prosecutor, as well as a victim, and finally a defendant. In the previous programs that we looked at, this wasn't really addressed. So, I am planning to have a "names" table that would be linked to a "types" table, which would link a single person with all of their pertinent "designations." This would save space and time by providing single entry for these people, and by having a SubForm viewed with their name, and maybe some sort of "flag," there status would be easily viewed. I think my biggest problem is going to be ascertaining whether a person is in there already, in a quick easy way. I'm thinking of Having them type the name, and bringing up a list of matches, if any exist. Well, now that I've totally went off on a tangent, thanks again for your input. John W. Clark >>> jimdettman at earthlink.net 4/28/2005 8:08 PM >>> <> That is one way. Another is a single lookup table: tblLookup LookupID - Autonum PK LookupType - Long FK to tblLookupTypes Value tblLookupTypes LookupTypeID - Autonum PK Description UserModifable - True/False I do most of my systems this way. But another way to design something like this is: tblPeople - One record per person PersonID - Autonumber PK FirstName LastName etc. tblAttributeTypes - One record per possible attribute type AttributeID - Autonumber PK Description tblPeopleAttributes - One record per person/attribute PersonID - Long FK to tblPeople AttributeID - Long FK to tblAttributeTypes Value Now on the above, *some* might like to add a PeopleAttributeID - Autonum PK and if so, knock yourself out, but I think it's rather silly. With the above a user can add a new attribute they want to keep track of i.e. "Nose pierced" or "Distance between eyes" and then assign a value for each person. You can also extend this design by adding additional fields to tblAttributeTypes that defines the allowed value (i.e. Y/N, 1 - 99999, Lookup list, etc). If a lookup list you would add a table (tblAttributeTypeValues) that defines a list of allowed values for a given attribute.

My question is this: Should I have an individual table for each descriptor? This is the way I mostly do it now. I put in value lists for something like "gender," which will most likely stay the same (I don't want to think about the "what ifs" here). But for other things, I like to leave it open for the user to input. I then give them a button for "Program Administration" and a bunch of little forms, which are basically prettied-up continuous forms, to enter these options. This actually came in handy, on one of my previous programs. Their "Race" designations were altered, about a year after they began using the program...asian was split into sub-groups...and they were able to go in and change this without my help. I was just wondering whether this is considered acceptable practice, or if I am being a bit retentive here.

This is running entirely outside of Access. The reason it's related to Access is that my error handler checks to see if that file is present under the name of DevFile.txt. If it isn't present thne the user is prompted to print the error message and it is written to a log file. If it is present, then a msgbox offers to debug the code. It's a tip I got from reading Access Security Ideas from an Experienced Developer (http://www.vb123.com/toolshed/05_access/accesssprotectionideas.htm).

Since the DevFile.txt is only on my computer (not the end user's), I only change it's name to confirm that the program will work as expected on the user's computer. Consequently, there's no need to be able to do it from within the Access program. The author of the aritcle I referenced below also uses the presence or absence of the DevFile.txt file to "turn on or off various environment variables such as the AllowBypassKey, AllowSpecialKeys, AllowFullMenus..." Since he, and I, deploy our programs as *.mde files, I don't see what the advantage would be to be able to turn these back on at the user's site. Who wants to use Alt-F11 to bring up the VBA code window in an mde file except some nosy busybody? I use another program (http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/Otherdownload.asp?SampleName='SetDatabaseProperties.mdb') to turn off these environment variables just before deployment so I am currently only using the DevFile.txt in the Error Handler. I may decide to hook this up to the presence or absence of the DevFile.txt but I haven't yet.

It is still used a good bit on other platforms. 2) C++.NET has the managed extensions (if I worded that right) in it now (or at least it will in VS 2005). This gives you the benefit of using the .NET framework with you programs. I have been trying to decide whether to learn C# or C++.NET myself.

My app here generates lots of emails, interfacing with Outlook/Exchange. We also have other equipment generating emails (eg UPS, plant machinery). What I want to do now is trigger receipt of certain emails to generate text messages to mobiles. There seem to be lots of Outlook add-ins which sort of do what I want but I can't see one immediately that's an exact fit. Ideally we'd like it be Outlook-rule-based, so we can use Outlook's rules to say, for example, any email from that source with that in the subject send it on to xyz, where xyz would be an entry in the Address Book with a mobile number, and have some software which recognises that that has to go as a text message and sends it appropriately. So an add-in which allows you just to type a text message, address it and send it is no use because in the situations we want to use this it must be automated.

Is it possible that you have inadvertently blocked that IP? Could the specific range of IPs be blocked? A couple of years ago Francisco was being blocked and I could not send him an email. It turned out that his ISP was being cautioned because there were a number of spammers using the same location. Of course it might be nothing to do with it but it does seem strange that your location has been singled out...

I ask, because I'd be more then happy to send you the source to the project I just finished, which you can probably use with just a little modification (including completely dropping the image copying and thumbnail creation). You can read the source with notepad, but it won't work correctly in Access 2000, since it's multi-threaded (downloads and unzips in different threads), so you'd have to filter through that code to use it in Access.

If they support it, you just send an email to a special address of phonenumber at your.telco.sms.server.com with the text in the body of the email. The telco handles the rest. If they don't provide this service then you are basically SOOL.

First, when I had a pager and if the family received a phone call, at my home office, could just go to the internal webpage and simply email a message to my pager company. The message was routed to the pager. Second, the local broadband company was giving away free text messaging to their cell phone customers. That worked great until they started charging. It was another simple email from Outlook. Maybe I have missed something but it all was pretty easy.

Pedro, I would probably use ALTER TABLE to add a field, then copy the contents and DROP the old one. But some years ago I wrote functions to do this and used them in a project. I'm pasting them in for you incase you'd prefer this. There are functions to create an index, create and delete a table and field, create, modify and delete properties and create and delete table links. Watch for line wraps.

The problem really arises when I'm accidentally in a new record (I hit the * button in the record selector) but don't really want to add a new record. If I attempt to move from that 'new empty' record, I can't get out of it. Delete Record doesn't work either because I'm still in a 'new empty' record after the delete.

Message-ID: Hi Penn Don't set the Value but - at the OnCurrent event when the ID is not Null - the DefaultValue of those fields. Then nothing is edited until the user types in something. After that point pressing Escape is needed to cancel the new record. /gustav >>> penn227 at yahoo.com 05/04 7:40 pm >>> Karen, Thank you for the suggestion. That would be fine if I wanted to add a new record. The problem really arises when I'm accidentally in a new record (I hit the * button in the record selector) but don't really want to add a new record. If I attempt to move from that 'new empty' record, I can't get out of it. Delete Record doesn't work either because I'm still in a 'new empty' record after the delete.

I have a form in a 'members' database that allows entry of people (members, prospective members, guests, etc.) who have RSVP'd to an upcoming meeting.

Get rid of that code that sets values in the On_Current and set the "Default Value"s of the fields to the lookup functions instead. That way they only get filled in when soemone starts to enter data. -- Stuart From stuart at lexacorp.com.pg Wed May 4 13:24:15 2005 From: stuart at lexacorp.com.pg (Stuart McLachlan) Date: Thu, 05 May 2005 04:24:15 +1000 Subject: [AccessD] Append query question In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <42799FEF.14924.7D1CDDA@stuart.lexacorp.com.pg> On 4 May 2005 at 10:50, Kaup, Chester wrote: > > INSERT INTO [tbl Cum Oil Test] ( [Well Name], [Date], [Cum Oil] ) > > SELECT [tbl Monthly Oil Test].[Well Name], Max([tbl Monthly Oil > Test].Date), [tbl Cum Oil Test]![Cum Oil]+[tbl Monthly Oil Test]![Prod > Oil] AS [New Cum] > > FROM [tbl Monthly Oil Test], [tbl Cum Oil Test] > > WHERE ((([tbl Monthly Oil Test]![Well Name])=[tbl Cum Oil Test]![Well > Name])); > > -- Add GROUP BY [tbl Monthly Oil test].[Well Name] and as JC said, get rid of the spaces and don't use Date or any other reserved word as a field name.

You can read the source with notepad, but it won't work correctly in Access 2000, since it's multi-threaded (downloads and unzips in different threads), so you'd have to filter through that code to use it in Access.

I am using SQL Server 7.5 for the BE. Every quarter we printout a report for every employee that gives them a listing of all vacation time and personal time taken. It was requested to add the ability to "click a button" and have the report sent out via e-mail to those who have e-mail. Ideally it would send out a PDF version of the report that we currently hand out. My question is, how do I automate the creation of PDFs? This would need to take place on the server side and the server would be responsible for sending out the e-mails, I think. Anyone have any suggestions to get me started?

Remember access works differently that SQL server, and brings over all records to the client side. I would create a two variables, intMaxPageID and intPageNo (I guess you could also have a intTotalPages) Open the recordset, if DAO move last the first, get total count. If count is greater than allowable per page, calculate MaxPages as such: intMaxPages = rs.RecordCount / Max allowable create a temp table and insert these records into the temp table. Make sure the temp table has an autonumber PKID. Now Select TOP whatever from the temp table as such: (we'll use 100) SELECT TOP 100 tmpPKID, CustName, CustID, CustTotals FROM tblTempTable WHERE tmpPKID >intMaxPageID and <=(intMaxPageID +100) Move last and store the last records PKID in intMaxPageID IF you want to calculate the current page number, you can create a function: Function GetCurrentPageNo (intMaxPageID) AS integer IF intMaxPageID Mod 100 = 0 or intMaxPageID Mod 100 >49 THEN GetCurrentPageNo = Cint(intMaxPageID /100) Else intMaxPageID Mod 100 < 50 GetCurrentPageNo = Cint(intMaxPageID /100) + 1 End IF End Function HTH David -----Original Message----- From: Joe Rojas [mailto:JRojas at tnco-inc.com] Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 7:44 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] Show only X number records at a time Hi All, How do sites like eBay show only X number of items at a time and allow users to jump to a page number or click next?

Now, I am being asked to condense it (virtually illegible, but that is what the customer wants) onto letter size paper. I have condensed the report and made the report width narrower so that it will fit on letter paper, however, the report still prints on legal. Page setup says letter, and in fact will not allow any other size to be saved. Changing printers has not stopped the report from printing on legal size paper, I have even tried importing it into a different database to see if that would fix it. This is tremendously strange, especially considering that normally I have the opposite problem. Access tends to make every report letter size if the printer changes. I am rapidly approaching the point where I am ready to re-create the report from scratch, but I am hoping that one of you knows what is going on and can direct me to a fix. I am using Access 2002 and a SQL 2000 back end. From jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com Fri May 6 13:39:52 2005 From: jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com (John W. Colby) Date: Fri, 06 May 2005 14:39:52 -0400 Subject: [AccessD] Tracing program flow Message-ID: <000901c5526b$00b1d580$6c7aa8c0@ColbyM6805> I am designing a system to create reports to be sent to a client automatically every evening. I did this before and had consistent issues with error handling, msgboxes in error handlers popping up and stopping the process etc. This time there will be no msgboxes, but errors must be reported thus I am trying to build a system that can be called from the error handler or where a message box would pop up. The system will log all such messages. Some thoughts in no particular order. 1) All such messages are errors by definition, since this runs unattended. If a message is necessary, then it is a warning or error. 2) All loops must be checked for an assured terminating condition (no infinite loops). 3) Errors must be graded, i.e. non-critical or critical. 4) Errors must be collected such that if the overall process continues, any errors encountered along the way are logged. I am attempting to modularize the system such that it is broken down into processes. For example: 1) A report generator module creates a set of reports. The report is generated, placed in a directory and it's presence "announced" by an entry in a table. In a simple system the "announced" could just be the presence of the file in the directory, however in my case the file may need to go to several different places. For this reason MY system has to have a place to note that the file was created along with the transfer address to send it to, which I call Transfer Addresses and Transfer Jobs. 2) If the report fails to create for some reason, the failure has to be noted. 3) The report is attempting to report specific "records" in the database, although it is actually a denormalized "dataset". If any "record" fails to report, that error needs to be logged. I.e. I need to be notified that claims XXX were not announced to the client. Obviously this may or may not be a simple failure, i.e. the whole report may fail to create for some reason, or the report may create but certain records may fail to create. The Report generator has "must include" field checking for example, and if any such fields are not filled, that record does not transmit. 4) If the report is created, one or more records is created in a system that is responsible for sending the files. 5) The Transfer Job system will load all open Transfer Jobs and attempt to send them. Some are FTPd, others are sent vie email, and eventually some will be Faxed. The FTP and Email systems are functioning. 6) If the TransferJob fails for any reason, the reason must be logged and the job marked as errored and removed from processing until the error is analyzed and fixed. 7) All errors must be logged, and emailed to myself (or the developer) and the client tech person. Me so I can fix the error and the tech person so that they are aware that some record or report did not go to the client. All of this stuff is functioning (more or less) but one issue I am struggling with is error reporting. I REALLY want a comprehensive error reporting system that will tell me the process (Report Generator, File Transfer etc), the module (specific class or module name) and function / sub, as well as the error code or message. All of my classes have a class name method, which in itself can get a little problematic. The class has a constant that is the class name and a property to report it. However, since a class can have multiple instances, that isn't always sufficient information. Thus each class also has an instance name property which builds up from the Class Name constant plus either just an incrementing integer (worst case) or text information from data the class is collecting. So... I can report the class name easily enough. I have never done so, but it is easy enough to add a private module name constant and a private module name function to report the name of the module for use in error handlers in the module. I am attempting to follow the convention already in place in MS land where objects have a name property. The sub / function name will just be hard coded in the error call. Unfortunately Access / VBA provides no good method of accessing the current function name. That leaves the process name. This gets a little murky because of the modularity. IOW, the error handler itself is a process, and any errors in the error handler module must be reported with the ability to determine that it was a function in module X in the error handler, but... the error handler is not the process, the process is the report generator or the file transfer. OTOH, the File Transfer Job is just a tool initialized at the behest of another process, in this case the report generator. Thus in a "simple" case you have the The Report Generator process calls The File Transfer process (to create a file transfer job for example) Somewhere something calls the Error Handler Process. Any of these processes could generate an error, any class or module within these processes could generate an error, or the error handler itself could generate an error. But the error should report the entire path in the error record, i.e. regardless of at what level the error occurred the error needs to specify that "The Report Generator / File Transfer / clsFile / Function XXX reported Error YYY" or "The report generator / clsProductType / Function KKK reported Error ZZZ". In the meantime, even though all of these modules can report an error, they all need to report the error to the same error handler instance, or you get log files and emails for errors at different levels reported from different error handler class instances. All of which is complicated by the fact that these are standalone modules, and can be used by other processes. Each report generator can be a separate process running on it's own schedule (daily, weekly etc), and uses it's own instance of the File Transfer Process library, with it's own BE holding the accumulated data for that report generator. What I am trying to sort out is how to report the top level process to the error handler. IOW where does THAT piece of information go? I suppose that each process can accept a "Process name" as a parameter as it is initialized, thus if a higher level process initializes it, that process passes in it's own process name, along with any process name it receives when it is initialized. In a perfect world the report generator can generate it's report at midnight. It may generate an error which needs to be reported independently of anything else. The report generator may instantiate the File Transfer process although my inclination is to have that be a process that runs independently of the report generators. IOW, all report generators just create jobs in a table of jobs, and the file transfer process is just always running, or is opened at a specific time. All being created by one illiterate developer, sitting my himself somewhere in the wilds of Connecticut. Sigh. John W.

I have condensed the report and made the report width narrower so that it will fit on letter paper, however, the report still prints on legal. Page setup says letter, and in fact will not allow any other size to be saved. Changing printers has not stopped the report from printing on legal size paper, I have even tried importing it into a different database to see if that would fix it. This is tremendously strange, especially considering that normally I have the opposite problem. Access tends to make every report letter size if the printer changes. I am rapidly approaching the point where I am ready to re-create the report from scratch, but I am hoping that one of you knows what is going on and can direct me to a fix. I am using Access 2002 and a SQL 2000 back end. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com - JENKENS & GILCHRIST E-MAIL NOTICE - This transmission may be: (1) subject to the Attorney-Client Privilege, (2) an attorney work product, or (3) strictly confidential.

As you are capable of writing robust code popping no messageboxes, my guess is that the only errors you'll ever meet will be at the transmitting (mail, fax, ftp) process where - on the other hand - all sorts of errors can arise and - worse yet - you can't even set up a test scenario that simulates all these errors; you just have to be prepared that what can fail sooner or later will fail. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 05/06 8:39 pm >>> I am designing a system to create reports to be sent to a client automatically every evening.

It was written to log all errors that were handled by error handling (a bit redundant, eh?) routines.

Exactly. The last system has been in place for a couple of years and all kinds of weird errors have popped up. In that case a message box opened, halting the program flow. The reports would not go out and I could remote in to see the errors. I want the process to continue so that if a specific report failed for whatever reason, the next one would go out (assuming no errors there), which means silent logging, notification of the errors, and sufficient information to trouble shoot the issue since I no longer have the program halted at the scene of the crime so to speak.

As you are capable of writing robust code popping no messageboxes, my guess is that the only errors you'll ever meet will be at the transmitting (mail, fax, ftp) process where - on the other hand - all sorts of errors can arise and - worse yet - you can't even set up a test scenario that simulates all these errors; you just have to be prepared that what can fail sooner or later will fail. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 05/06 8:39 pm >>> I am designing a system to create reports to be sent to a client automatically every evening.

As it's running through adding records, as the table gets larger (>300,000 records) the time it takes to reopen the recordset slows the program down is horrible. Is it possible to open a recordset without it pulling a cache of the current records? With the execute command in ADO I know you can tell it to not return a recordset, but not sure if there's a "Add only" recordset option. Forward-Only looks like it might help, but I can't seem to see a performance increase using this type only. I'm still fairly new to using ADO but any suggestions are welcome!

In the future I can probably convert it over to an SQL statement, but it'll take more work than they want to commit to standardize and escape the correct characters in the SQL string. I'm going to try the Top 1 query and see how that does at reducing cpu time. At the moment it's running about 48hrs for about 1.5GBs of Access databases. As someone else brought up, is it possible to open a table-recordset from ADO and set it to append only? (Not sure if there's much difference on the ADO side from doing a select * query or just opening with table name). Thanks for everyone's help.

Keep it simple and build a basic Text file log system that builds a new log file every night with Date and Time stamp. 2.) Keep a log Table within the same database that runs the reports 3.) Keep an external Database that gets written to with the errors. This method would be a nice way to keep your production database from potential bloating, but it could also act as a central place to log all your errors for all your systems. I like this idea because you can build things into this system that are totally outside the realm of your production systems. For instance you could send your self emails on how your Sales Database worked today, or how your Inventory database performed, given you have set it up to log certain key events or performance markers for each database. Anyway, just some ideas. With the above in mind, the idea at hand is to trap your error, write your error to one of the places above, then maybe use a GOTO statement or a RESUME statement to go back up to your code, depending on how you are opening/refreshing your reports and emailing/ftp'ing your information.

As you are capable of writing robust code popping no messageboxes, my guess is that the only errors you'll ever meet will be at the transmitting (mail, fax, ftp) process where - on the other hand - all sorts of errors can arise and - worse yet - you can't even set up a test scenario that simulates all these errors; you just have to be prepared that what can fail sooner or later will fail. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 05/06 8:39 pm >>> I am designing a system to create reports to be sent to a client automatically every evening.

But When logging on and off it is copied/merged with the version on the server. When you first logon to a new computer your whole profile will be downloaded to this computer, when logging of it will be copied/merged again to the server. With NT4 computers the profiles are deleted/copied, so when beeing logged on simulteaniously on two computers the last logoff computer will win (you could loose data in this case). I believe that since Windows 2KPro and XPPro computers the profiles are merged, so you don't loose data. Using profiles does not change anything for the user. A second thing you mention is the home dir of the users which is another setting that has not really anything to do with profiles. It is merely the default path where a user will get when first saving or opening data. This is typicaly used to set a default data path per user or same path for all users. It's just the default location for saving data. I don't use this home dir, because I find it rather confusing for the user.

Now, I am being asked to condense it (virtually illegible, but that is what the customer wants) onto letter size paper. I have condensed the report and made the report width narrower so that it will fit on letter paper, however, the report still prints on legal. Page setup says letter, and in fact will not allow any other size to be saved. Changing printers has not stopped the report from printing on legal size paper, I have even tried importing it into a different database to see if that would fix it. This is tremendously strange, especially considering that normally I have the opposite problem. Access tends to make every report letter size if the printer changes. I am rapidly approaching the point where I am ready to re-create the report from scratch, but I am hoping that one of you knows what is going on and can direct me to a fix.

HTH Jim Hale Using Solver With Visual Basic Frontline developed Solver. Apparently Solver defines names For each constraint, then hides the name definitions. After un-hiding them, you will find that the references were to cells like $AC$46, $AD$46, etc.. Apparently, in the named definitions it had the correct cells identified, but in the actual Solver dialog box it will not show cells beyond the "Z" column. Frontline's web site is: http://www.frontsys.com You can also find a number of internet articles by Microsoft at: http://support.microsoft.com/support/Excel/Content/Solver/SOLVER.asp They have a number of suggestions on it to help you in using Solver. Here are the steps to display the hidden names and "restart" Solver fresh: 1. Use "Save Model" in the options dialog to save the model onto the sheet. (This will save the embedded formulas onto the worksheet.) 2. Use this macro that makes all the hidden defined names available: Sub unhide_Names() Dim na As Name For Each na In ActiveWorkbook.Names na.Visible = True Next End Sub 3. Go to Insert-Name-Define, you will see all the Solver names, starting with solver_. 4. Simply delete all of these names. 5. Start the Solver; the dialog will be blank, but you can use the "Load Model" option to restore the model you saved before. Finally, here's another tip Frontline Systems provided: Frontline does not recommend using formulas in the right hand sides of constraints. It is allowed, but causes severe performance problems. Instead, if you have: $A$1 <= 0.5*$D$5*93 just place the right hand side in a cell, such as $B$10, so that $B$10 has the formula: =0.5*$D$5*93, and make the constraint: $A$1 <= $B$10 You can find some useful information at these Internet locations regarding using Microsoft Excel Solver with Visual Basic macros: http://support.microsoft.com/support/excel/content/solver/solver.asp Creating Visual Basic Macros that Use Microsoft Excel Solver http://www.frontsys.com/xlhelp.htm Help for Microsoft Excel Solver Users -----Original Message----- From: Kaup, Chester [mailto:Chester_Kaup at kindermorgan.com] Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 1:11 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Run Excel Solver from Access I need to run the solver add-in in Excel from Access.

It works perfect, and only had minor problems after installing. The text import (wizard) didn't worked correctly, but this was fixed after installing the newest service pack. Also most of the code had to be adjusted to work in A2003. But after that i had no real problems. One other thing is the help file that i personally don't like, but this also was the problem in AXP and A2k. A97 was better. Also al the extra popup screens for security items aren't that nice. Furthermore i have no complaints with the databases that i use.

Mostly that is \\SERVERNAME\PROFILES\%USERNAME% All files that are in the profile are copied to the server (including my documents). I would not mess in the profiles on the server because you never know when the user is logged on or not, and I believe it keep some synchronisation information. SO altering the profile on the server will not necesarely change the user profile. And yes Outlook settings are in the profile to BUT, when not using Exchange server your PST file must be, or in the profile (which I do not suggest due to file size) or directly in a own user folder on the server. Typicaly \\SERVERNAME\USERS\%USERNAME% But I strongly suggest to use roaming profiles 1) You get PC redundancy. If a pc crashes the user can continue to work on another pc. 2) If the users stores file in My documents they are copied on the server via romaing profiles AND they get backupped by the server backup system!!! Disadvantage, you will need more diskspace on the server. Average profiles size is 40 to 80MB if they do not save files in My documents. If they use My documents the size can be any size.... There are some folders excluded from te syncing and you can add some other. I generaly add the outlook.ost file (in case of exchange server) because this file changes every time and can be GB in size. Search on MS technet for "exclude folders roaming profile" for more inf. Hope this helps.

Since Gustav says " Password is maintained in global variable strPC1Password16.", you can include a routine for the user to enter their own password when they log in to the application. There is no reason for you or the notwork admins to know what the password is. In fact each user can use a different password ever time they enter some data and then will only have access to the data which they encrypted with that partiular password. -- Stuart From JHewson at karta.com Tue May 10 07:46:04 2005 From: JHewson at karta.com (Jim Hewson) Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 07:46:04 -0500 Subject: [AccessD] Access Report to PowerPoint Message-ID: <9C382E065F54AE48BC3AA7925DCBB01C0339AB21@karta-exc-int.Karta.com> While looking through my Access archives...

Say we have a table called tblStudents In that table is many fields but I usually put in a field with a data type of number and call it ISSELECTED Can be used for many things - in this case deleting Have all the students show up in the continuous form and bind the ISSELECTED field to a check box with a Heading Label called DELETE or something like it The have the user "selects a block of records to delete." Then have a button that says "Delete all records marked for deletion" or something equally inane and have it run SQL like... DELETE tblStudents.*, tblStudents.IsSelected FROM tblStudents WHERE (((tblStudents.IsSelected)=-1)); Once that has been done reset those with -1 in ISSELECTED back to Zero - YOU MUST DO THIS EACH TIME YOU USE ISSELECTED SP that whatever you use it for in the future only has the 'relevant' Records selected. Something like.... UPDATE tblStudents SET tblStudents.IsSelected= 0 WHERE (((tblStudents.IsSelected)=-1)); Or Just do the whole table UPDATE tblStudents SET tblStudents.IsSelected= 0; Hope this helps See ya Darren -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Kath Pelletti Sent: Wednesday, 11 May 2005 10:49 AM To: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] vba to Delete mult records continous form Hi everyone - maybe I am just having a bad day but can someone tell me the code I need in vba to do the same action as the [Records] [Delete] menu? ie.

Anything else, I think, would involve a different form with a multi-select list box. Unless you put a delete field in the table and display it on the form.

When the client upgraded to XP it broke with the message you are getting. I could find no solution!!!!!!!!! IIRC MS is aware of the bug. We did a work around by making the user run the solver manually. This was acceptable in my case as they only needed the functionality once each year. If you stop your code just before your call, bring Excel to the front , select Solver from the menu, closer Solver, let your code run it should work :-/ If you do get it working can you let me know? cheers Michael M I have code to open a excel spreadsheet and paste some data from access into it.

When I tested an A2K3 run-time app on a machine with only A2K installed (it was also a W2K machine instead of WXp but I don't think that made any difference in this case) it replaced the Microsoft Access 9.0 Library with Microsoft Access 11.0 Library which I found by checking the references in another of my A2K apps which would no longer run correctly (actually the ADH form resizing code failed). I could not delete this reference and, although I could add the reference to 9.0 I could not move it above the 11.0 reference so that it would take precedence. The only way I could fix this problem is by doing a complete reinstall of O2K. I wrote to Sagekey and they responded right away that it was a recently known and fixed issue and they haven't released the fix but they did attach a new version of LaunchAccess.exe to replace the old one and that fixed the problem. Just a heads up for anyone who might be using the Sagekey Access 2003 script and their runtime might end up on a target box with only O2K installed, potentially hosing other A2K apps.

It looks at a version number in a local table on the user's w/s and compares it to the version number of the most recent version on the LAN. If the LAN's version is higher then it's downloaded. The download location is the same on every user's w/s. I found someone to help me translate the Spanish messages and have been using it ever since.

Use it to call a procedure or to call a function if you are not interested in the result. The braces are not strictly necessary, but I always include them as a signal that I am not using a built in function. >From the Access Help Calling Sub and Function Procedures To call a Sub procedure from another procedure, type the name of the procedure and include values for any required arguments. The Call statement is not required, but if you use it, you must enclose any arguments in parentheses. ......... To use the return value of a function, assign the function to a variable and enclose the arguments in parentheses, as shown in the following example ......... If you're not interested in the return value of a function, you can call a function the same way you call a Sub procedure. Omit the parentheses, list the arguments, and do not assign the function to a variable, as shown in the following example. -- Stuart From jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com Thu May 12 18:17:40 2005 From: jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com (John W.

My clients typically have 30-40 stations max, and the FE takes a few seconds to load. A batch file took about 3 minutes to cook up and just works. Obviously if this is going to a system with hundreds of workstations then something else would be in order. The other thing is that by downloading a fresh copy every time they open the FE I can do temp tables without worrying about bloat. John W.

Also, storing calculated values breaks the rules of data storage and normalization. With that said, there are times when storing calculated values does make sense. To me at least, others on this list will almost certainly disagree with me on this. There will generally be a speed increase for reports etc. from looking up pre-calculated values from a table rather than looking up the component values and performing the calculation, especially when the calculation is complex and/or your report pulls a large number of records when run. However, the obvious trade-off is increased storage space requirements and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Another thing to consider is how many tables the calculation has to hit to be made. The more joins needed, the more complex everything tends to get and the slower everything tends to run. This is all greatly simplifying the question, the "correct" answer, as far as I'm concerned, depends on your specific situation. My own personal rule of thumb is to never store a calculated value in a table unless it's a practical necessity for some specific reason. So I follow the rule in the vast majority of cases, but break it when it seems advisable to. For example, I just finished a project where the report calculations were so complex and hit so many tables that I decreased the report run time, on a report run twice a day, by over 7 minutes simply by storing a calculated value. That's very significant, and even though storing a calculated value breaks the "rules" I consider that a perfectly acceptable trade-off in that case. As it applies to your case, I wouldn't store a calculated value unless the speed increase on the report(s) was significant and reporting was a big factor in the user experience (is the report run 20 times a day or once a month?). However, in my case mentioned above, once the value is calculated it never changes. Another consideration is the need to update stored calculated values and all that implies. The question, to my mind, doesn't have a clear-cut yes or no answer. I think it might be interesting to see what others have to say about this issue.

It does seem there can be an argument for both - I think I cam overcome changes to the client charge rates etc by making sure if the client charge rate record changes we archive previous (so existing records have their own record to relate to) and create a new current charge rate record (for jobs now and in the future). W.r.t speed issue I think (e.g. select records where jobtotalhours>x ) that each client may in a year have anything from 10-20 jobs thru to several hundred (I doubt more than 1000) in which case this should not impact to much. I anticipated this problem doesn't have a clear-cut yes or no answer. I guess as indicated I will proceed as 'don't store calculated values' and should this have an impact on speed/reports etc I will have to revisit and deal with accordingly.

Sometimes it is very expensive (resource wise) to calculate a value. I store the values in this situation. Another is when you have to store a value as it was calculated at that time (unless you store the values used to make the calculation). We have an app that calculates deducts on payroll. There are many places in the system where the parameters used to calculate the value can change. But they do not want the value to be recalculated unless they manually cause a recalculation. For that reason, the value is stored in the database.

Rocky ----- Original Message ----- From: "Griffiths, Richard" To: "AccessD" Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 12:49 AM Subject: [AccessD] Programming Hi Group A general programming question. Would you ever store calculated values in a table. My example is this... I have a Timesheetline table recording jobstart, jobend times/dates etc. Do I store jobtotalhours in the table and do I store Client charge and EmployeePaid amounts. I would not normally store calculated values in a table but as these calculations are quite complex (different charge rates, time periods e.g std and overtime etc) I thought that once calculated (at the point of data entry) why not store these values in table (may improved report speed/programming). Alternativley, isn't this what computers are for ie carrying out complex calculations so why store value, when it comes to reporting on or displaying etc simply recaculate.

Anything else represents poor design. If parameters change, store the date/time for the change, and you can recalculate at any time later. The general approach to this is "temporal database" design.

There are other factors at play here too. the server that serves up the file can easily be bogged down in connections if someone is making a huge write/read from it, further slowing down your FE start up times... even if it only happens once in a while your user's perception of your program will be that it's slow... A quick check for the version number could solve your issue as well and can be done from the batch file as well, download the .txt w/ the version in it and check it within the batch, if a new version is out, download the new version while prompting the user... otherwise your users just see a snappy app that loads when they double click on it. downloading the entiere FE everytime reguardless of upgrade is a waste of resources... imagine having to wait for IE/FF/Opera to download the program everytime you wanted to browse the web!!!

It might be of interest to those doing long term development. But I haven't seen Access running on Longhorn yet. In addition to post below there is also this Enterprise Printing With Web Services coming with Longhorn: Problem: Never had the ability to know when job had actually completed Can?t trigger activities based on job completion Don?t know the status of job beyond being sent to the spooler Solution: Rich eventing mechanism with (WS-Eventing) Benefits: True end of job Richer error reporting with real time device status Restarting unfinished jobs from PC in exactly the right place This post is from a print spoooler software company. Merrion Computing. A good site for VB Printer software code. Date: Wed May 11, 2005 8:10 am Subject: Longhorn and the future of printing in Windows The next version of Windows (codenamed "Longhorn") features a very radical overhaul of the printing subsystem which may well be of interest to developers working with printer related applications. [1] Metro Printing "Metro" is a new standard for the document / spooler files that is based on XML and is extensible. Using this format means that in the future all printed documents will be stored in a format that is human readable and not device dependent. This means that all the problems with transfering documents from one print device to another will be a thing of the past. [2] Universal file display format Since all applications that print on Longhorn will be spooled to this new format and since this format is open it means that document viewers (like the MS Word viewer or PDF) will no longer be needed. Instead press print, print to a file and send the file to the recipient (or publish it on the internet)... Longhorn and Metro references: There are a number of documents on http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/print/default.mspx that are useful to developers wanting to get a head start on Longhorn printing. I have downloaded them and will be writing up articles/posts about specific parts...and the implication for printer monitoring applications in the future. I don't see a free print accounting module being added to the native OS but mainly for legal reasons (MS are particularily anxious to avoid the trouble that they had with the E.U. over bundling the free media player) However the changes mean that it will be a lot easier to write more sophisticated document handling and accounting applicatiosn and I would see a number of third party providers (including ourselves) doing just that. One of the greatest opportunities from my point of view is that it will be possible to write components that plug in to the print path in any CLR language (VB.Net, C# etc.) I am angling to get a new development machine specifically for various beta products (SQL Server 2005, Longhorn and Visual Studio 2005) and will post up any code related to this that is of general use.

A quick check for the version number could solve your issue as well and can be done from the batch file as well, download the .txt w/ the version in it and check it within the batch, if a new version is out, download the new version while prompting the user... otherwise your users just see a snappy app that loads when they double click on it. downloading the entiere FE everytime reguardless of upgrade is a waste of resources... imagine having to wait for IE/FF/Opera to download the program everytime you wanted to browse the web!!!

I've worked in a great network environment before... and in this kind of environment it's easy to forget the amount of load you place on a network. (Especially if you plan on making updates available via a Wan). I am NOT saying that updating the entire FE is "wrong" for the sake of being wrong... but I do think that as a developer you are taking your hardware for granted, especially if there is no "need" to transfer the entire FE when nothing has been updated. You unnecessarily promote hdd defragmentation, adding network traffic when there is no "explicit" need, and in many cases slowing down the startup time on your application, why would you purposefully want to do that? Now that I've ranted, a single txt file w/ the version information is a mere 52 bytes, how big are the FE's you are talking about? my current FE is in an ADE format and is a whooping 9MB, In fact the previous FE was in an MDB format was up to 7MBs. I do use Wise for sending out the compressed update; still the entire package comes out to 4MB, The update "IS" fast, the updater downloads a new copy and then runs the setup.exe to gracefully close the program, and install the new ade.

I don't see a free print accounting module being added to the native OS but mainly for legal reasons (MS are particularily anxious to avoid the trouble that they had with the E.U. over bundling the free media player) However the changes mean that it will be a lot easier to write more sophisticated document handling and accounting applicatiosn and I would see a number of third party providers (including ourselves) doing just that. One of the greatest opportunities from my point of view is that it will be possible to write components that plug in to the print path in any CLR language (VB.Net, C# etc.) I am angling to get a new development machine specifically for various beta products (SQL Server 2005, Longhorn and Visual Studio 2005) and will post up any code related to this that is of general use.

They generally work by checking a version table on the backend and running a batch file to update the front end. Each has it's own quirks and methods. Users may require a bit of getting used to some of these methods as its is not always hidden from them. Tony Toews Auto FE Updater Here is one version of an Access FrontEnd AutoUpdater, I have seen simpler ones on the web. This a VB6 program that also handles WinXP and user permissions etc. Remember some users maybe locked down severely. It is a VB6 exe but you can buy source code for $100 canadian http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/autofe.htm http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/autofe/details.htm These guys in Australia have versioning frontend programs for Access http://www.ssw.com.au It is on their 4 th download page called versioncontrol wizard You have to register first to get an emailed url unless you want a copy emailed directly .

It is available at Rogers Access Library (other developers library). Link - http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com Typically, running computations (Count and Sum) in a query involves use of either a subquery or DCount function. Both require (i) A primary key and (ii) Sorting to be in force - on the primary key field. This can pose a limitation where main sorting is desired on a field other than that holding primary key. Moreover if subquery method is used, the records are no longer editable. (The sample db is free from such limitations).

I'm sure that over 90% of your users do open up the app and never close it again, however even in a big company there are endusers who end up w/ the shaft computer running less than 600mhz and barely 128mb of ram. Those guys are likley to close out the program when it is not in need. "Further" adding to the delay in startup time.

I was in a pub in Somerset, England yesterday and saw a photocopy of a poem on the wall. Wrote down the first two lines and did an internet search when I went back to my hotel. No joy, so went back today and copied it down. So, with apologies to the author, who I cannot give credit to, and as a tribute to the the lady programmers on this list from whom I have learned most of my programming over the last eight years, here is one for your wall.............(albeit in the other three weeks) One Week In Four There?s a blight that affects many women It?s a syndrome that?s hard to ignore; Transforms angels to bitches And it comes around one week in four. You had better watch out, all you partners Though it?s you she does love and adore; Things go quickly off course, She?ll find grounds for divorce Till things go back to normal once more. She might burst into tears for no reason Her reaction out of all proportion; When emotions run rife There?ll be trouble and strife So beware ? and approach with caution. She might fly off the handle for nothing And violent acts might ensue Angry voices will be spoken Precious ornaments broken And the baddie will always be YOU! Yes, your world may well end up in turmoil And your loved one may seem like a stranger But I strongly advise That you don?t criticise If you do ?? your life may be in danger. This complete transformation will pain her She?ll despise herself deep in her soul But this state she bemoans Is all down to hormones And is sadly beyond her control. Make allowances for her condition Show her kindness and patience galore Just remember that she Has got bad PMT ? And it?s only for one week in four.

You still have to remember to record the hours. Except for the business about copying it from Excel into Word, it could just as well be done on a legal pad. I don't see any needs at all for anything more elaborate. But then, I still keep my corporate books in pencil on a 13-column green sheet.

I can enter data either on the Palm in the field or using the Palm Desktop application in the office and synch them easily. As a soloist, my Palm is invaluable - I reckon it's one of the best investments I ever made. -- Stuart From andy at minstersystems.co.uk Mon May 16 02:02:25 2005 From: andy at minstersystems.co.uk (Andy Lacey) Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 08:02:25 +0100 Subject: [AccessD] Programming In-Reply-To: <4285C3B3.13706.1A0DA5A0@stuart.lexacorp.com.pg> Message-ID: <00b901c559e5$3750c430$7f418552@minster33c3r25> Ok, but tax, for example, is itself a calculated value, so I rest my case (no chance) -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk > -----Original Message----- > From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com > [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of > Stuart McLachlan > Sent: 14 May 2005 00:24 > To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving > Subject: RE: [AccessD] Programming > > > On 13 May 2005 at 15:18, Andy Lacey wrote: > > > Funnily enough I was thinking of a payroll system as a good > example of > > this.

I'm not saying that my payroll is normalised. . I've deliberately de- normalised it for two reasons - speed and auditability. It's just that your example of Nett Pay is one of the few things I haven't denormalised.

I then have a form for selecting client projects which has a tab for entering hours worked (start date / time, stop date / time, work category, description of work), and expenses. I can "no charge" work if I need to, and "no charge" work shows up in my reports so that the client sees them. I also have an expense table, child to ClientProject, although I must admit I have relatively few expenses since I don't travel a lot. I tend to keep details of work down to either a day or a several hour period. It is nice though since I do a lot of work at home for many different clients. If a client calls (or I call a client) I can close the current work period I am recording, select that client, build a "phone call" work record and record my phone calls, which can be a lot of time. I tend to keep my billing app open on my laptop the whole time I work. I then just switch to it and record a summary of what I did for the last few hours, as I go through the day. By the end of the day I have a summary of hours worked, for what client, with start / stop times. I have a report generation form which allows me to select a time period (last month, last quarter, last year, current month etc) and generate reports for progress and invoice. The reports can be automatically emailed to the client and stored (hard copy) as a snapshot in a directory for each client. John W.
