Top 20 Microsoft Access 2003 for PC Questions & Answers

You say corrupt, in what way exactly? Do you get any specific error numbers/messages? Have you tried Access repair program? Compact and Repair. If not, use it. But ensure that you made a backup, it is necessary because all the recovery tips can make the damage even worse. Also try Jet Compact Utility. This tool created by Microsoft and it is much like Compact and Repair, but more successful in repairing. If no one of above advice helps, then perhaps you need more powerful solution. In this case try to run a good third-party. I would recommend Recovery Toolbox for Access. It must help you. https://access.recoverytoolbox.com/

Have you considered just buying something like the "Haynes Repair Manuals" on CD ROM or another similar program? there are plenty good ones out there already, myself I usually prefer Haynes.

1. open access. 2. From file menu select open => select the location of .mdb file and while selecting open option you notice a small triangle. Click that triangle and select open exclusive. after file opening go to database tools and select set database password. give the password and save it. Thats the procedure

I would need more info to be certain, but it sounds like you need to

a. remove the link

b. in a server domain, remove the permissions of those improperly accessing

or
c. password protect it

Hope this helps.

"The Microsoft Jet Database Engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'"There are several causes for this error message:

• The account that Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is using (which is usually IUSR) does not have the correct Windows NT permissions for a file-based database or for the folder that contains the file.
• The file and the data source name are marked as Exclusive.
• Another process or user has the Access database open.
• The error may be caused by a delegation issue. Check the authentication method (Basic versus NTLM), if any. If the connection string uses the Universal Naming Convention (UNC), try to use Basic authentication or an absolute path such as C:\Mydata\Data.mdb. This problem can occur even if the UNC points to a resource that is local to the IIS computer.
• This error may also occur when you access a local Microsoft Access database that is linked to a table where the table is in an Access database on a network server.

Resolution

• Check the permissions on the file and the folder. Make sure that you have the ability to create and/or destroy any temporary files. Temporary files are usually created in the same folder as the database, but the file may also be created in other folders such as the WINNT folder. For additional information about how to identify which folder does not have the correct permissions and how to configure temporary files, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 253604 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/253604/ ) Microsoft Access 97 database connectivity fails in Active Server Pages If you use a network path to the database (UNC or mapped drive), check the permissions on the share, the file, and the folder.
• Verify that the file and the data source name (DSN) are not marked as Exclusive.
• The "other user" may be Microsoft Visual InterDev. Close any Visual InterDev projects that contain a data connection to the database.
• Simplify. Use a System DSN that uses a local drive letter. If necessary, move the database to the local drive to test.
• Follow the instructions in the following article to work around this problem: 189408 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189408/ ) FIX: ASP fails to access network files under IIS 4.0 and IIS 5.0

Create a Form from the main table with a subform based on the other data you will want populated. You put the fields in the subform that you want populated from the main form. Go to the properties for the subform and select the data tab, In the data tab, select the Link Master Fields and choose the field you want linked. When you type the ID number in the main form, the other firlds you have in hte subform should populate from the data inthe table.

In the Design view for your form element (eg textbox), go to the Data Tab. Look at the options for:
Input Mask, Validation Rule and Validation Text. You can use any combination of these to force a user to enter something in the field. If you just want to check that the contents of the element has a non-zero length, then you can write an event (Events tab) to check the length of the values entered. If 0, then throw a message box and re-focus the cursor on the textbox.

have to follow few steps.
1. new database - give any name
--> design table
e.g id, name and file (the datatype of the file should be hyperlink other wise it wont work)
--> enter some records (in file field write a, b ,c)
--> when you put record in file field then click on hyperlink option on top.. (like first record id=1, name=fahad, file=A) select the A and click on hyperlink option on top and give the hyperlink of the pdf file
--> design the form
--> run the form
--> click on desired file
--> it will open
--> looks complicated but its easy

it will work definitely

if the form "products" really exists, then your office 2007 security settings are not allowing to load macros. Try the following settings:-

Office 2007 has some security settings disabled by default to prevent any harm to your system.

go to trustcenter settings(click the office button at the top left of the office 2007 screen then click Access options, then select Trustcenter, then click trustcenter settings.)
In trustcenter settings, select message bar then select "Show the message bar in all applications when content is blocked" radio button.

Then from macro settings ,make sure to select "Disable all macros with notification" . Click ok twice to close the settings windows and try opening the file again.

Good Luck

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a free MS Access. If you need MS Access, you will need to purchase it either on line or in an office supplies store.
As a free alternative, you can download OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org. All Open Office applications are completely compatible with all MS Office applications.

Thanks for using the FixYa forums!

hi,

on MS Access 2003:
goto Tools Menu --> Startup --> select your form for "display form/page" dropdown
uncheck the "display database window checkbox and display status bar checkbox

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hi Rakesh,
in MS Access 2003/2007, the first record is always highlighted in table as well form's text controls when they connected to a database. In a query cursor is always at last record.

In flex-grid control you can set its properties to get cursor on a particular records.

I think your problem is solved.

Please contact if not.

You have to go into the design view of the form. On the field(s) that this is happening to, right click and select properties. The select the Event tab. Go down the list and look for the "On Mouse Move" perperty. See if there is an Event Procedure in the block to the left. If there is, that is most likely what is causing this to happen. The procedure is probably written to perform this action.

First one apply short guide, second make use of http://www.mdb.openfiletool.com/ MDB Open File Tool · Launch the Microsoft Access application, but do not try to open the corrupted MDB file.· Go to "Tools" in the top menu bar, expand the "Database Utilities" submenu and select the "Compact and Repair Database" option if you are using Access 2002 or 2003. If you are using Access 2007 or 2010, you can find the "Compact and Repair Database" option by clicking the Microsoft Office button and going to the "Manage" menu.· Highlight the MDB file that you want to restore and click the "Compact" button.· Enter a name for a new database file, which will contain the restored data from the damaged MDB file.· Navigate to the location on your hard drive where you want to save the restored version of the file.· Click the "Save" button. Access will now compact and repair the MDB file and save a restored version in the location you selected.

NO, They are diffrent

simplest way to troubleshoot is to try another keyboard to determine whether your ports are in good order. Alternatively, try the signature keyboard on another device to determine if its working

If you have already tried the common troubleshooting steps with no success, here are a few additional suggestions:

1. Clear font caches: Font caches can sometimes cause issues with font recognition. To clear them, follow these steps:

• Close all applications, including Word.
• In Finder, press Command+Shift+G, then enter "~/Library/Caches" and click Go.
• Locate the "com.apple.ATS" folder and move it to the trash.
• Restart your Mac and check if the font now appears in Word.

1. Check if the font is disabled in Font Book: Sometimes, a font may be disabled in Font Book, which can cause it to not appear in certain applications. To check and enable the font if needed:

• Open Font Book (you can search for it using Spotlight).
• Locate the font in question and ensure it is enabled (unchecked fonts won't appear in applications).
• If it is disabled, check the box next to it to enable it.

1. Repair disk permissions: Although less likely to resolve font issues, repairing disk permissions might help in some cases. Here's how to do it:

• Open Disk Utility (you can search for it using Spotlight).
• Select your main disk (usually named Macintosh HD) from the list on the left.
• Click on the First Aid tab, then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
• Wait for the process to complete, then restart your Mac and check if the font is now visible in Word.

1. Create a new user account: In some instances, font-related problems can be specific to a user account. Creating a new user account and testing the font in Word under that account can help identify whether the issue is related to your current account.

If none of the above solutions work, you might need to seek further assistance from Microsoft support or Apple support, as the problem could be related to a software conflict or compatibility issue.
