RE: [MS_AccessPros] IT suggests not to use MS Access

 

I don't have corruption issues but I always split my apps into front and back-ends with every user getting their own app file. Most of my back-ends are SQL Server databases. I don't separate out memo fields from my tables like some developers suggest but again these are typically SQL Server.

[MS_AccessPros] IT suggests not to use MS Access

 

At work our IT is suggesting not to use MS Access because the data base is prone to corruption, is that true?

the data bases that I made are small and still work fine after 2 years

RE: [MS_AccessPros] Re: Changing the source data of a combobox while maintaining current functionality

 

Tony

I have a lot to say about your current design. I'm afraid if you keep going with
it as is you will paint yourself into a corner. Starting with the tables. You
are using a "spreadsheet" mentality. You are storing calculations (i.e., total
cost, average cost, etc. Those calculations should be handled by the forms and
reports so they are always accurate. Right now if you change the quantity, the
calculations become meaningless.

Access does not work well that way. It needs tables that are related such as a
product table related to an inventory table. Order table related to an Order
Detail which is related to the product table.

Orders placed would affect the inventory table...

Forms should have bound fields so data entry and editing does not take a bunch
of tricks to get it in the table. You can easily set up a form to search for a
record the way you started out to do. The combo boxes would go in the form
header and would filter the form's RecordSet to find the selected record.

Maybe John Viescas's sample inventory database would help you understand better.
I don't have the link but I'm sure John will read this and post it for you. Or
download the template Northwind. While it is not perfect, it does have sample
tables, forms, etc. to get you started.

Even better, get Crystal's free eBook Access Basics at

How do I make it so that clicking commandAdd still does the same thing it does
currently, but instead of the user selecting a UPC in comboAddUPC, they select a
style, color and size just like combobox cboStyleNo at the very left of the
form?

Re: [MS_AccessPros] Referencing control on subform to requery

 

Dear rodbevill- (name?)

Assuming you'll be running Requery in code behind the outer form (perhaps
in the Current event), you would reference the controls on the subforms
like this:

Me.Subformcontrolname.Form!NameOfControl

Note that Subformcontrolname is the name of the subform control, NOT the
name of the form inside the control - though they are often the same.

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Referencing control on subform to requery

The db that I am developing (Access 2010 on Windows 7) consist of a main
form with a tabcontrol. Each tab consist of a split form. Within the
split form are combo-boxes with data based on a saved query. The issue
is requerying the row source for the various combo-boxes when the record
on the main form changes. Each of the tabs contain different data from
the db tables. Each tab only uses one table. Each tab is linked to the
main form thru an id field.
Query definition for the combo-box row source:
SELECT tblParcel.lngParcelID, tblParcel.lngParcelNum
FROM tblParcel
WHERE (((tblParcel.lngTPTID)=GETTPTID()));

The function GETTPTID() retrieves the ID which is updated every time the
main form updates to a new record.
I am trying to use the TabCtl On Change to initiate the requery for the
combo-box. Tried several approaches at a loss. The combo-box is used to
list the currently identified property parcels used when sending
correspondence. Not sure if I have explained the issue well enough? Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
