From gustav at cactus.dk Tue Jan 1 03:32:18 2013 From: gustav at cactus.dk (Gustav Brock) Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2013 10:32:18 +0100 Subject: [AccessD] Windows 8 Tablet and Access/Office 2010 Message-ID: Hi Charlotte If your Office install is an OEM install, it is Samsung business. If your install is a purchase at the app store, it is Microsoft. However, an OEM (trial) install should be preinstalled. If you then later download a retail Office, you probably have a mixed installation where Office can't sort the license keys out. If so, we've been able to solve it this way in Win7. Should be same though with Win8 Desktop: Find ospp.vbs in the Office14 folder under Program Files\Microsoft Office. Run as Administrator: cscript ospp.vbs to obtain a list of all parameters. Run this with /dstatus: cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus You will then se all PKCs in use incl. the original of the (trial) OEM version as well as the newest which perhaps is activated. Remove all not usable product keys one by one with: cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:XXXXX where XXXXX is the last five characters in the product key from the status list. If the installed full PCK perhaps isn't activated, it can be done right away: cscript ospp.vbs /act Voil?! Open Word or Excel; under Help everything about a trial license is gone. /gustav > -----Original Message----- > From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com > [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust > Sent: Monday, December 31, 2012 11:25 AM > To: Access Developers discussion and problem > Subject: [AccessD] Windows 8 Tablet and Access/Office 2010 > > I bought myself a new Samsung Tablet PC with Windows 8 and I'm sure glad I > didn't upgrade my laptop!

I have more questions, and they go outside Access, so maybe I have to move my questions to the dba-tech list. Moderators, please advise. I've been playing with MySQL, using UwAMP and phpMyAdmin to run some tutorials. I've also downloaded a huge MySQL reference manual and have begun studying it. Using the phpMyAdmin I have a WYSIWYG interface for connecting to the localhost/mysql server to play around. The reference manual speaks of what looks like a command line connection for invoking MySQL. This one I don't follow. How do I invoke MySQL from the DOS window? Where do I have to be? How do I make the connection that the phpMyAdmin seems to make so easily? Or, should I just wait until that part makes sense to me and stick with the WYSIWYG interface for now? The database structure for MySQL seems to be that the database is a folder and the database objects are separate files within that folder. Do I have that right? That's the way the old dBase structure was, if I recall correctly. I do appreciate the hand-holding, my friends. There's so much to learn in a short time!

You can do everything you want/need with phpMyAdmin. If you really want to check it out, go to your mySQL installation's binary directory and type "mysql -h". (Not sure what it will be with UwAMP, but my WAMP was installed on my D drive and the MySQL directory is: D:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.20\bin). There's a tutorial on using mySQL.exe here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql.html How the data is stored depends on which storage engine is used (msot likely InnoDB or myISAM for early versions). To quote the manual: For new tables, MySQL always creates an .frm file to hold the table and column definitions. The table's index and data may be stored in one or more other files, depending on the storage engine. The server creates the .frm file above the storage engine level. Individual storage engines create any additional files required for the tables that they manage. .

There are many low cost web hosts, Arvixe for one, that offer SQL Server databases that are more than adequate for the type of web project your talking about. These companies use SQL Express but I have found no performance limitations. Possibly if you're talking thousands of hits per minute and gigs of storage you might find the limits, but I haven't I we have some quite challenging stored procedures running on several of these. You might also take a look at Microsoft LightSwitch for your development environment. The new version will publish to the desktop or web in HTML 5 so the apps will work on any phone or tablet. My 2 cents worth. Happy New Year.

For instance, there's Adams counties in several different states. Feel free to change the form or whatever underlying thing that needs changing to make it work if you have a way to send it back.

This quote from the article is where the meat of the matter is: " Studying only active sites, the changes in market share are reversed: Apache grew by 0.23 to 55.66%, while Microsoft fell by 0.83 to 11.53%. Within the million busiest sites, nginx was the only major developer to increase its market share, which now stands at 12.22%. " If you aren't within the million busiest sites, then your statistic is irrelevant and probably internet site spam or whatnot. And what the stats shows here is clear: Microsoft is, as always, on the decline and Nginx is eating away at Apaches traditional dominance. - Hans On 2013-01-01, at 8:11 PM, "Benson, William (GE Global Research, consultant)" wrote: > I think you may conclude the same thing but to be clearer, http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2012/11/01/november-2012-web-server-survey.html says "Apache lost 2.0 million sites this month, whereas Microsoft gained 2.3 million" > > Maybe Microsoft is making a comeback :-) > > -----Original Message----- > From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Stuart McLachlan > Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2013 6:14 PM > To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving > Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access Database on Web > > If you want avoid getting locked into a declining market, I'd go with *AMP. > > MS are down to around 16-17% market share now on web servers, > > http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2012/11/01/november-2012-web-server-survey.html > and > http://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/web_server/all > > > On 1 Jan 2013 at 12:52, Doug Murphy wrote: > >> Hi Tina, >> >> If you are familiar with the Microsoft environment I'd stick with SQL >> Server.

Neophyte genealogists don't know that the 2nd month is April. Even experienced people don't know if the date has already been converted. Like "is 9 Feb 1850 the converted date or the Quaker date (which would be the 12th month)"? I suspected that just the year would be problematic since what you describe is the way it works in a spreadsheet. So I think I'll just leave the date field empty, and only put it in the notes.

Not an issue as the paper index is what the county was at the time of the marriage. This will ultimately be an ebook and the explanations will be in the introduction, as to which counties to find the records. This is a collection of marriages my friend has collected through the years in various states. She will make the ebook for purchase for a nominal sum, then if they find the person they want, they can purchase a copy of the document. She has hundreds of them.

I have an application that I develop in Access 2003, but runs on my server under Access 2010. I ran into similar sort of problem, which I never properly got to the bottom of. The only way I have found around it is to put it on the Access 2010 machine as an MDB, and then save as MDE there... in which case it works fine. (Of course, this is relatively easy for me because it's my own computer, and would be a pain to do on a customer's system unless you have remote access or something.)

If you try to write to a protected folder, it's re-directed to a virtual store so the app doesn't complain (by default, standard users can write to many of the system folders). The real problem is that many of us when it comes to Vista/Win 7 don't follow best practices; no user should be writing into C:\program files or c:\program files (x86). Yet prior to these OS's, that's where Microsoft told us to put everything. If you want to leave this in the \program files folders, take ownership of the sub folder and give everyone full permissions to it. That will allow writes into the folder and items will no longer be redirected to the virtual store.

I like you am getting tired of Microsoft building all this stuff into the OS. Things just keep getting more and more complex. Microsoft does this kind of thing and it just causes more problems. What they should have done is simply returned the "Access is denied" error and not hide the problem. Then it's up to the developer to put the app where it belongs or get it installed properly. Of course all the developers would scream that backwards compatibility is not being considered then. They could have gone a different route though and created new program folder paths for Vista and Windows 7 that were secure, leaving the old folders alone so they worked as they always have. But I'm sure that would carry ramifications as well and might even be worse. But at least the situation would be clear to anyone then about what was going on.

I think if I remember correctly I ran into a similiar problem a couple of months ago when I tried running an old application on my machine and a got a similar message, the message was misleading as the solution had nothing to do with the error message displayed but with Windows 7. Anyway the client is dropping off his laptop today, so I guess it is time to do a "Sherlock Holmes" and try and figure out what is going on. Jeez I hate having to deal with "mystery meat".

I have an application that I develop in Access 2003, but runs on my server under Access 2010. I ran into similar sort of problem, which I never properly got to the bottom of. The only way I have found around it is to put it on the Access 2010 machine as an MDB, and then save as MDE there... in which case it works fine.

These Applications are run at night in an unattended mode in a Terminal Services environment (via the Windows Scheduler). 99% of the time everything works nicely. However, every once in a while a problem will surface. When problems occur, I often look at the SchedLgU.Txt file which shows the results of Scheduled Tasks. Recently, I decided to experiment with the data in the SchedLgU.Txt file. I wanted to pull the data from this file into an Access application and create a easy-to-read report. I thought that this would be a simple task. I was wrong! SchedLgU.Txt is a strange file!!! When I treated SchedLgU.Txt as a linked Access table, I was not able to see any of the data. I spent quite a bit of time trying to understand why this would not work. I finally decided to look at alternative approaches. I found an example of a VBS script that could read the SchedLgU.Txt file and write the output to a new .txt file. I then was able to read the new .txt file with the Access application. At this point, I was smiling. The Access report that was generated from the new .txt file looked nice with a header, alternating detail line colors, a record count, and a footer. I moved the Access application from "Development" (Full Version of Access) to "Production" (Only Access Runtime available). When I did this, I started to see strange errors on the report. The report would show a "#error" at the start of page 2 of the 9-page report. I spent several hours trying to debug this problem but was not able to do so. (No longer smiling) I then decided that I could live with a less fancy report and wrote a second little script to read the .txt file (Output from the VBS script), and create a second .txt file that I enhanced to have a header, footer, and record count. The SchedLgU.Txt is a "wrap-around" file. It has an eyecatcher that indicates where the most recent log record is located in the log file. I enhanced the second script to use this eyecatcher to build the output file (report) in a pure chronological order. I also added some white space to make the "job groups" easier to view. I then set up a new Scheduled Task to run these scripts at 9:00 PM every night and e-mail the "report" to me. This seems to be working nicely. The reason that I am writing this post is to see if anyone else has every experimented with the SchedLgU.txt file. I also thought that others may benefit from the experience that I have had the past couple of days. I have never run into a .txt file that I could not handle with Access. I am guessing that the SchedLgU.Txt has a number of embedded "Strange" characters that are causing problems. Why there was a difference in the results between accdb and accdr (Runtime) still remains a mystery.

As for this copying issue. In one version of windows or another they introduced the 'feature', where....copying a file with a view to overwrite an existing file of the same name, a popup is presented to users asking if they wanted to overwrite the existing filename or make a copy of the file name. It's from this time onwards where I had some nightmare scenarios at client's offices where I would copy what I thought were latest versions from my USB stick, into a client's environment. Only to discover I had copied some earlier version. Frustrating and perplexing. It seemed this new windows overwrite "feature' was not working as advertised. Took ages for me to find out it was this issue (Similar to yours). My only solution was to rename the original target file so there was no overwrite possibilities - And then copy the latest version with the desired file name. Thus 'kinda' guaranteeing it was a new file drop and not a copy or an overwrite - make sense? I got hit by this a few years ago BTW - I think I raised it here back then - can't recall the response - Sorry All the best to the fam.

Running our main MDB one machine was giving the message that it was running an out-of-date version. This uses a home-spun routine and triggers a new version to copy down from the network. But the error message persisted. So I manually did the copy and it still happened. I looked at the file on the server and it was the latest version. I copied it to the folder on C:, looked at it there and it was the old version. What the......?????? I copied the version from the server to another folder (C:\Temp) and that ran fine. Copied from C:\Temp to the file's normal home on C: and got the error message again! Bizarre. Here?s the best?.I deleted the MDB and ran it from the Windows icon that the users use, waiting for the Windows error that it was trying to run a non-existent file. But no, it still ran and gave the error. So now it?s running a file which doesn?t exist. Now beginning to doubt the evidence of my own eyes. Flushed recycle bin, deleted temporary files, switched pc off and back on. No change. Renamed the MDB and it ran fine. Renamed it back to its original name and got the error. Logged on as different user and the same file ran fine. Decided I?d lost it and went and sat in a darkened room going la, la, la, la. By now it was dawning on me that Windows had to be caching the old MDB and running that so I Googled "windows 7 running cached version" and found the solution. Go to C:\Users\this user\AppData\Local\VirtualStore and there?s the cached copy. Delete that and all is well. Who knew? No doubt all of you, but it's a new one on me. I'm posting this to help anyone else who has this happen but also to ask if there is a way to prevent it as it totally interferes with any version management you might have. Anyone got the answer?

They are both mdb and adp format. I have a problem with buttons that have embedded pictures. Whenever a button is clicked then a ghost outline of the button appears in the top left hand corner of the form. I have read Helen Feddema's Access Archon column and tried her tips but none have worked. Even creating a new mdb in Access 2010 and creating a new button causes the same problem. Accdb formats don't have the problem. The only solutions I have found for mdb/adp formats are: 1) Use linked pictures instead of embedded ones., or 2) Not use pictures at all. Has anyone else come up with a better solution? Ideally it would be nice to embed a picture onto a button and not have the ghosting on my previous format databases (like they used to work).

There might be some legal issues with PDF and Access 2007 - not sure. I conducted many tests and did some more research on the web. I ran across this quote. "apparently in the runtime version you must have the report open first before you can export it through VBA, in the full version that's not the case" Based on this info, I added a "OpenReport" before the Export to PDF, and a Close of the report after the Export. The results from my initial tests look promising.

This is expected to be a common issue when you have existing Microsoft ActiveX controls and existing add-ins, VBA previously did not have a pointer data type and because of this, developers used 32-bit variables to store pointers and handles. These variables now truncate 64-bit values returned by API calls when using Declare statements. ... Existing 32-bit ActiveX controls, both third-party and Microsoft-supplied, are not compatible with the 64-bit version of Office 2010. For ActiveX controls and COM objects, there are three possible solutions: If you have the source code, you can generate a 64-bit version yourself, You can contact the vendor for an updated version, You can search for an alternative solution. Native 64-bit processes in Office 2010 cannot load 32-bit binaries. This includes the common controls of MSComCtl (TabStrip, Toolbar, StatusBar, ProgressBar, TreeView, ListViews, ImageList, Slider, ImageComboBox) and the controls of MSComCt2 (Animation, UpDown, MonthView, DateTimePicker, FlatScrollBar).These controls were installed by previous versions of Microsoft Office and are installed by 32-bit Office 2010. An alternative must be found for existing Microsoft Office VBA solutions that utilize these controls when the code is migrated to 64-bit Office 2010. 64-bit Office 2010 does not provide 64-bit versions of the Common Controls.

On the client's machine when I try to populate a ListBox from a query referencing a table in the backend MDB called "KeyWord" the ListBox comes up empty. If I set it to a recordset I can easily manipulate it using code. What I did was rename the table to "KeyWordTbl" and all my queries work fine. I know some of you will be saying "always designate a table with "Tbl"". But this was a revision of a many years old application that has been running fine with no problems. I follow "If it is not broke don't fix it". As I mentioned before the only difference between my machine and the client's is he has ACCESS2010 installed. What I do not understand is why the queries for the table "KeyWord" work fine on my machine and on a friend's machine who has ACCESS2007 installed. I figure the client's machine has a reserved word "KeyWord" and ours don't. This whole thing has been baffling. I know some of the gurus will be saying "Hey you twit the simple answer is.........".

In Access, there are a number of key words, like 'Name', 'Field', 'Table', and dozens of others. Those words should not be used as the name of an object, or a field in a table, or a variable in code, etc. I'm going to guess that the word 'KeyWord' is a key word itself, and Access 2010 just doesn't want to use it. I currently have a report to fix that is trying to display a person's name where the field in the table is 'Name'. Gee ... Good Luck!

They are created when the file is opened and changed as needed during the session. They are in memory until they are either destroyed or when the file is closed. One example is I use one for the role of the individual that logs into the database. The role determines what the user can see and / or do during the session. Prior to using TempVars I was constantly referencing a table using DLookup()... it wasn't very efficient. Now all I have to do is something like: TempVars!tvRole = something - a lot easier.

I have been working with a legacy Informix application (20+ years old) and once you have pushed a variable up into memory they are there until you leave the environment completely...very handy at times as you move from module to module or even from program to program or more likely crashing while doing development work. There is even an option that allows protected variables to be pushed to the computers stack...but this doesn't work on the newer computers with their fancy new-fangled multi-core CPUs I have always, when working with VB, pushed and retrieved variables out of the system register. They are then totally protected until a system re-imaging and even then can be pulled from backup. Somewhere, I have a little piece of code I used with Access to perform similar efforts. It is nice to hear that MS Access is finally catching up. :-) PS: Good to hear you are doing OK.

They assigned me a desktop computer for now which I am given admin rights on. It run Windows XP Professional x32 and has 3 gigs of RAM. Many of the developers install everything on their desktop and work from there however the official mantra is that we are supposed to use a Citrix machine provided to us. I have never used Citrix before. Assuming it would also be Windows XP I checked this morning and imagine my surprise when it claims to be Windows 2003 R2 X64 with 4 cores and 16 gigs RAM. My question then is what does this really mean, i.e.how does Citrix work? It is it an emulation of the real machine behind it? Is the actual server a quad core with 16 gigs running Server 2003 R2 X64? Or is it a virtual machine with N cores and X gigs emulated? In any case I do not have admin rights on that machine so every time I make any change in Access which would go to the registry it holds the changes until I log off Citrix and then the next time in things are back to the original configuration. Likewise I cannot install anything myself, and getting anything installed is not a trivial task. I like to use MZ-Tools with Access, and I can install it local, but it is not on IBM's "approved vendor list" so it will never be used on the Citrix machine. Oh the joy. -- John W.

Of course, that's one way to assure you've got no other orphaned records. But if you just want to establish a few person records for testing and development, and need RI, then that won't work. Faster, if your client will cooperate, is to have them make a copy of the original database and then delete the names, social security numbers, etc. So all the person records are there, just no confidential info.

Citrix is an application that is installed on a server. It is designed to allow users to run some or all their software on the server, while they are physically somewhere else. This turns their desktop PC into just a terminal for the applications the use via Citrix. In my customer's case, the purpose of Citrix is to allow users who are not connected to the LAN at their headquarters in Minneapolis to run my system at a reasonable level of performance. (As we all know, Access on a WAN doesn't work.) It works pretty well, with users at many locations in the US, Mexico, and also Asia. Also, when people are away from work with their laptop, they can log into the company network with a VPN, then log into Citrix, and then log into my system - and still get reasonable performance. However, all the people who connect to the LAN log into my Access system directly using separate FE's on their PC's - it's noticeable faster than logging into Citrix. Companies might also use a Citrix server for all PC's on their LAN so that everyone's PC is essentially a terminal. This can give the IT department a high degree of control over app versions, preventing the installation of personal apps, etc. But why you would be given a PC which is actually a server with Citrix on it for your personal use is beyond what I know. I'd say take some of those developers out to lunch and find out what's really going on! Good Luck!

In fact I would even say most. Despite what Microsoft thinks, it's not easy to always be on the latest release, VM or not. Middleware (backup software, anti-virus, spam control, firewalls, etc) and application software all need to be in agreement about what they can run under. And in regards to stability and ROI, it's in a company's best interest to stay on something as long as possible. With the economy having been what its been since 2008, a lot of companies are just starting to entertain moving to Windows 2008 server. I haven't heard of anyone moving to 2012 yet...it's just too new.

Many of the developers install everything on their desktop and work from there however the official mantra is that we are supposed to use a Citrix machine provided to us. I have never used Citrix before. Assuming it would also be Windows XP I checked this morning and imagine my surprise when it claims to be Windows 2003 R2 X64 with 4 cores and 16 gigs RAM. My question then is what does this really mean, i.e.how does Citrix work? It is it an emulation of the real machine behind it? Is the actual server a quad core with 16 gigs running Server 2003 R2 X64? Or is it a virtual machine with N cores and X gigs emulated? In any case I do not have admin rights on that machine so every time I make any change in Access which would go to the registry it holds the changes until I log off Citrix and then the next time in things are back to the original configuration. Likewise I cannot install anything myself, and getting anything installed is not a trivial task. I like to use MZ-Tools with Access, and I can install it local, but it is not on IBM's "approved vendor list" so it will never be used on the Citrix machine. Oh the joy. -- John W.

Middleware (backup software, anti-virus, spam control, firewalls, etc) and application software all need to be in agreement about what they can run under. And in regards to stability and ROI, it's in a company's best interest to stay on something as long as possible. With the economy having been what its been since 2008, a lot of companies are just starting to entertain moving to Windows 2008 server.

Boy I got lucky as I spent many years working in big corporate land and they were always a gen or two behind the latest releases (and for good reasons usually). Weeks before Office 2007 was due to be rolled out where I was working I changed jobs and the much smaller more agile place I work at now were already using 2010 (thankfully). I was involved with testing 2007 in corporate land 4 years back and it wasn't a pleasant experience - so much of it was utterly annoying and flaky - especially Access and Excel charts. Office 2010 on the other hand I really like using and is generally well behaved and logical. For corporate folks it is likely to be several years yet before Office 2010 is available to most of them. Good luck John, I suggest you buff up on your profanities, they will come in very handy.

The idea is that electronic invoicing through Tradeshift is free for both sender and receiver no matter how many or few invoices you issue. This way they hope to attract clients to their portal which also offer - for a small fee - transfer of quotations, orders, and any other document, as well as - and that is the really interesting part - payment of invoices and, later, advanced payment - a sort of factoring where the seller may receive the payment before the buyer pays. This is where PayPal comes in because that, of course, requires financing. I can add that for some years invoicing via paper to any authority in Denmark has not been allowed; you have to send it through some electronic service - Tradeshift is one. If you snail-mail a paper invoice, it will simply be rejected. This has been decided to save a vast amount of unproductive time at the many authorities but also to encourage the private businesses to implement electronic invoicing, thus saving money. This happens slowly with some success. Most major corporations now reject paper invoicing and the trend is moving downwards at some speed. Still, most small businesses here accept invoices e-mailed as a PDF file. /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] P? vegne af Jim Lawrence Sendt: 24. januar 2013 19:39 Til: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Emne: Re: [AccessD] (H)OT: Tradeshift Wow this is big...and I had never heard of them before (shows you what I know).

It's only useful in a text formating expression when you have multiple formats: "if you have a textbox control in which you want the word "None" to appear when there is no string in the field, you could type the custom format @;"None" as the control's Format property setting. The @ symbol causes the text from the field to be displayed; the second section causes the word "None" to appear when there is a zero-length string or Null value in the field." -- Stuart On 25 Jan 2013 at 16:34, Arthur Fuller wrote: > In an Access db that I inherited, a bunch of fields (almost all of them) > have been assigned a format of "@".

Should be a cinch from these leads. Slightly irrelevant plug. Recently I completed a free Google on-line course called "Power Searching With Google." After using Google for several years, I thought I pretty much knew my way around the product/service. Not even close! In that course I learned a Ton of new uses and techniques. I am now taking the "Advanced Power Searching With Google", and I am wowed and amazed and awed by what lurks within that simple-looking search bar. The only proviso I have is that you take the beginning course first, because the advanced course assumes that you've learned the stuff covered in the first course. The Advanced course begins with a series of challenges, to see whether you've learned the basics as outlined in the simple "Power Searching..." course. As an example, here is the first challenge (you might want to try solving it before enrolling): I was asked recently to find reputable sources for the following statement: ?During the glory days of radio, it was illegal to mimic the voice of the US president.? Was there actually a law prohibiting that? Or was just a White House policy and not a legal issue. Was it law or policy? A.

It all really depends on how much time the user is going to need them, is it for a few minutes or are we talking days (or longer?).

The "stored locally" is precisely how it is done at the moment. I am being asked to up-size the tables to SQL Server and of course, if I just do the request, we will have all the users mixing their data into the same table. There are existing append / update / delete queries that are triggered in various ways, including by the push of buttons. I can't be more specific simply because this is a general question about many different databases. In any event I will have to analyze what every query does to prevent multi-user issues. John W.

Now a new one. I just had a prospective client preview an App I had designed for an old client. Pros They loved the program for it's sophistication, simplicity and ease of use (not blowing my own horn here). Exactly what they are looking for. Cons They would like it to be also available on a Web page. Now I have programs running on stand alones and sophisticated networks but this is all new to me. They have a limited budget and would like quote. I guess my question is, is this possible (I figure yes) but at what cost to develop it??? I mean so many different questions and problems start to arise. They mentioned Oracle but I just do not want to go there. Tony Septav Nanaimo, BC Canada.

But a word of caution; these local tables may be there for performance reasons. Often you are better off to pull data into a local table and then report off that rather then going against SQL. That may be why these tables were put there in the first place other then making sure the data remained separate from other users.

Instead of pulling the data into FE tables, you copy the releavnt records from dbo.tblTable to colby.tblTable. You then do whatever you want with that data. If you need to subsequently update dbo.tblTable, you will need to do whatever you did previously with the data from the FE tables.

We argued about that subject loud and long as I recall. Your concern was that there was no protection from one user over-writing another. I kept saying the SQL server took care of it. Now I am sure you are aware of that. My method was always to use stored procedures and pass parameters, never download any more data that absolutely necessary and always let the SQL server do all the data manipulation. The Access FE was only for presentation and reporting. It is not ugly, but you will have to give up most concepts of tight data binding. ADO-OLE and MS SQL server handles it all, beautifully and very fast. I have heard of datasets and things like that but have never used them...they are not necessary. If you start using datasets it will be extremely difficult for you, when they eventually expect you to move everything to the web. ;-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John W Colby Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 11:07 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] Upgrade Access to SQL Server I am being asked to upgrade Access FEs which have quite complex SQL Server BE tables, plus (apparently) some data from those tables pulled down to the FE and stored there over time as the user processes the data in those local FE tables. They want to move those local tables to SQL Server. My question is, is there an accepted method for providing this kind of table out in SQL Server? IOW the structure is there, but the data in the table (as seen from the FE ) belongs to that instance of the FE. We place tables local to the FE exactly for this purpose, to make it local to that specific instance of the FE, on that specific user, on that specific machine. It seems that if I am going to do this in SQL Server then I will need to add a "machine ID" kind of FK in the tables as I upsize them to SQL Server, then in the Access Application somehow get filtered datasets. This sounds ugly. -- John W.

Desktop to web. There are so many, "it depends". Used both MS SQL and Oracle as BEs for Access as well as some custom built web sites...currently both web sites are internal intranet sites. The only sample I do have is, and it old (about seven years so it doesn't use any of the fancy HTML5, CSS or JQuery code). It just shows how a web page can access an MS SQL server, via AJAX and displays the data in various ways. It is simple but it might give you some ideas. http://www.creativesystemdesigns.com/projects/programming.asp Note: I am doing some upgrading on the web server so it may not be up steadily...working on migrating it to another server.
