Hi All, I have learned a lot in this forum and have been able to develop applications for Azure Remote App, as well as locally shared solutions with the help I have received here. I wanted to give back somehow, and decided to post a link to a free, open, sample database for managing and...

Hi All, I have a procedure that reruns past data in a system and want to show the date on the status bar without the echo on. However, the only way to do it is to change the echo just before the syscmd to change the status bar text, and it looks jumpy. Anyway around this? Thanks in advance,

Forgive me if this has already been asked, but wondering if anyone has heard wind of access runtime in Windows 10?

Hi, Writing to see if anyone has experienced this problem besides me. I have a form open event that updates a table field with a random number, then posts that number to a field on the form. What I noticed was that Access is generating the same random numbers in the same order each...

:banghead:Hi, I am struggling with an issue with my access front end. On most of my computers, everything is fine. When the front end is used on windows 8.1 OS, controls change size and appear as of the border is actually smaller then the control, etc. Based on another post in this forum, I...

Hi All, Last night I tested migrating my backend of a split access 2013 database to an SQL database on the Azure platform. Remember that saying, I only wish I knew then what I know now: Trying to be clever, I named my timestamp fields When in Access, but this is reserved in SQL (ding)...

New problem that I would like help with if you have time. I have developed a split db app that us signed and packaged, and the installer is also signed using certificates from Digicert that seem to be working fine. Everything was working fine until I decompiled and recompiled the database to...

Ok, I am perplexed. I have developed a split database in access 13 under the believe that users with runtime would be able to extract and use the two accdc files. To test it, I uninstalled access from my spare laptop but left the runtime there. THen I downloaded my program. THe front and back...

Hi, I have a question regarding access 2013 runtime. My understanding is that when you deploy signed/packaged access 2013 it compresses the files with the runtime version of access 2013. Does this cause problems if the user already has an older version of access (say 2010)? Also, the Access...

Hi All, Using access 2013, the package solution is included, but the installation wizard is no longer included. I am trying to write my own install program. First, I wanted to ask you if it is possible? I mean, has anyone successfully been able to build an installer that copies the accdc files...

Hi All, I have purchased a relatively expensive install package from InstallAware (version 17) and they offer 0 meaningful support unless you want to pay $200 per hour. I have figured out how to make the installer work in the Test Run in IDE, but when I deploy it, a couple things happen. One...

Glad I am testing my database. I have found a problem that I was hoping to get help with. I have a couple forms with Combo boxes that look up data in queries. I noticed in testing that I could accidently type a "~" (and other characters) in the field and once I do, it causes a runtime error...

Hi, I am sure some of you have seen the warning message, The Microsoft Access Database Engine could not find the object '', make sure it is spelled correctly, et al. I have 9 tables that present this message when I try to update the linked table manager. The issue I am having is that the...

I have a form that takes too long to load so I have resolved to do the following: After the form is opened for the first time, closing the form from the form nav changes the visibility property, and when you open it again from the switchboard, it opens quickly. It closes when you exit the...

Hi All, I purchased an install app (installaware) to make my app available for beta testing via the web. I noticed in using this, that when I install the app in the Program Files sub directory on the client's computer (in this case, my secondary computer), the following happens: 1. Everytime...

Good Morning/Evening, I have a question on tables in the front end. I am used to seeing what appear to be files that help connect the front end to the back end, but recently, I noticed they are expanding, replicating themselves with sequential numerical suffixes. For example, I have always...

I know I am beating a dead horse here but I need to get it out there. I have a form that has validation rules, etc, and I want to let the user close it with custom error handling, so I was building a validation procedure for a form close button. The thing is, whether using Isnull, len()=0, or...

Hi All, My application is close to done so I am looking at install procedures. I like SageKey but they are still testing the MS2013 install wizard. So I plan on trying Inno. I am using MSA 13 and my main question or hurdle is thus: How do I tell the wizard what to do to relink the front end with...

Does anyone no where to get the package wizard for access 2013?

Hi All, I am sure I am not the first to try to do this. I have a form that posts to a database with calculations. Thing is, I want to be able to have the form values freeze based on the status, which is a combo box on said form. Issue is, when I use what I learned (I learned to set all...
