Access 2007 Runtime & Windows 8.1

Has anyone had success installing Access 2007 Runtime on Windows 8.1? (This particular computer only has Office Home installed).
When I attempted this, the Runtime program seemed to install okay (opened a copy of AccessRuntime.exe as Administrator) -- at least there were no error messages, but there was also no "installation completed" message at the end (should there
have been?)-- the status bar completed to 100% and then the installation window closed.
When I attempted to open either an mdb or accbd file by double-clicking the file, the 2007 Runtime installation window opened and upon completion of the installation followed by a window asking "How do you want to open this file?"
A box was checked for "Use this app for all .mdb files" (or accbd files). You could either check or uncheck this line.
Below that line was the icon for Access and "Keep using Microsoft Office Access". Clicking this option started the Runtime installation process again, then returning to this same window asking how I wanted to open the file.
There was a third option -- "more apps". Navigating to Program Files / Microsoft Office / Office12 and selecting msaccess.exe returned me to the same loop -- Runtime installation and "How do you want to open this file?".
Have I missed something in this process?
(Edit: maybe I should have made sure I unchecked the option to "Use this app to open all .mdb files"
before choosing "more apps" and then Office12/msaccess.exe?)
-- I'm hoping this has nothing to do with it, but this was being done on a new Dell laptop, which happened to be sitting next to a Windows 7 desktop, which was on at the time and which does have the full version of Access 2007 installed. During the above
process I noticed a lot of hard drive activity on the desktop computer. Coincidence? Related somehow to the laptop's wireless capabilities? arrgghh.
Thanks for any help,
Mark

I doubt the desktop is connecting to the laptop. What I suspect is that the office version is not the same version as Access. This might cause what we developers call the coffee break install. Access 2007 and Office 2010 or later have conflicting DLLs so
Access has to write to the registry every time it opens.
Match the runtime version to the current Office version and I bet that problem goes away.

Access 2007 very slow on Windows 7

Access 2007 is running very slowly in on two new Windows 7 clients. By slow, I mean the response time within Access - moving from screen to screen is dreadfully slow, taking 30+ seconds on Windows 7 to do what a computer with Windows XP will do in
1 second.
I cannot find any information that addresses the issue.
We have been running Windows XP SP3 clients successfully for almost a year. The speed is virtually instantaneous. The Access file is hosted on a file server, Windows Server 2003, with SQL Server Express 2008. Nothing has changed on the
server. The Windows XP clients previously and currently experience no problems.
The first of 2 new computers were deployed with Windows 7, with OS pre-loaded from Dell. Microsoft update was run to update OS and Access. Once discovered that Access was running brutally slow, I used the other new PC to test. Windows 7
freshly installed. Office 2007 freshly installed. Tested - still slow. Ran Windows Update, then re-tested. Still slow.
The issue reminds me of the slowness experienced when we were developing the Access database on my laptop which was running Vista. So, it runs fine on XP, but not on Vista or 7.
I'm convinced the problem is a conflict with Windows 7 on the client, but cannot pinpoint it. I've searched these forums and Google for answers, but have not found any information that has specifically addressed this issue. Can anyone offer assistance?

After reading numerous forums , I was able to resolve
the following issues (Screens Freezing, Screens Lag/Flickers, combo/list boxes freezing whilst searching for data) by carrying out the following:
Creating a brand new copy of the MS Access database in MS Access 2007/2010 using the Windows 7 image
Importing the database objects (tables queries, forms, reports, macros and modules) into MS Access 2007 /2010 d/b within the Windows 7 image.
Setting the
MaxBufferSize of 16384 (Decimal), HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (regedit) onto various PCs as recommended by various forums.
Making sure that the relevant reference libraries have been selected for MS Access 2007. This should automatically set throughout the default
installation as demonstrated below:
Visual Basic For Applications
Microsoft Access 12.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library
Also by typing in the following words into Google, provided me with some solutions, however the instructions above allowed me to rectify the issues
experienced above.

Exporting report to excel format via VBA to work in 2007 runtime

Hi
What code can I use to export a report to excel format file which will work in Access 2007 runtime?
Thanks
Regads

As I know, you can easily export the data from an MS Access Report to Excel, but it's really hard to get the formats exported along with the data, or just not doable at all.
Please see these links:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/export-an-access-2003-report-into-excel-spreadsheet/
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=143884

Also, keep in mind...it's easy to export the data from a report to Excel. You can certainly setup Excel as a template, which has all the formatting applied and just sits on your disk drive...somewhere...waiting for you to dump new data into it from
a new report...whenever you need it.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Opening and populating a PDF form with VBA code in Access 2007

I had posted this in Acrobat Windows. It was suggested this (and the SDK forum) may be a better forum ...
I'm trying to load and then populate a PDF form programmatically using Access/VBA. I'm patterning this after code that worked fine in Acrobat 5.0 but is throwing errors in Acrobat 9. We're using Access 2007 on Windows XP and Vista computers.
The Access project has a reference to Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library. Attached is a jpg showing all the references in the Access project.
The error "Object variable not set (Error 91)" is happening with this statement:
Set PDDoc = AVDoc.GetPDDoc
Here is the code I'm trying to use. I've always been a little fuzzy exactly which objects need to be created and the sequence they need to be created in. Once I got it working in Acrobat 5 I left it alone.
    Dim WshShell As Object
    Dim myApp As Acrobat.AcroApp
    Dim AVDoc As Acrobat.AcroAVDoc
    Dim PDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
    Dim PauseTime, Start
    Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
    ' run the Acrobat application within that shell and pass it a document name
    WshShell.Run "Acrobat.exe C:\Users\Christian\Documents\data\dist5\dist05_face_only_nh.pdf"
    '// Set/Get Acrobat Objects
    ' create an automation object that references the active copy of Acrobat
    Set myApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    ' reference the acrobat document we loaded above
    'Set AVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
    Set AVDoc = myApp.GetActiveDoc()
    ' this apparently runs some method available to AVDOC
    Set PDDoc = AVDoc.GetPDDoc      '<------------------ THIS IS THE LINE THROWING THE ERROR
    ' this is how you reference the JSObject
    Set jso = PDDoc.GetJSObject
    ' let's clear the form
    temp = jso.resetForm()
    Set x = jso.getField("txt1_name")
    x.Value = "Bing Crosby"
    Set x = jso.getField("txt2_sex")
    x.Value = "Male"
    Set WshShell = Nothing
    Set myApp = Nothing
    Set AVDoc = Nothing
    Set PDDoc = Nothing
Thanks in advance for any help.

Using the "Developing Applications Using Interapplication Communication" reference, I've been filling in knowledge gaps and baby-stepping until I hit this major wall. FYI: from page 22 in the reference
Example 2.6 Displaying “Hello, Acrobat!” in the JavaScript console will not work as shown in Access VBA. I've tried the example in both Access 2003 and 2007. The sample code as is throws error 91 (see attachment error91.jpg), "Object variable ... not set".
I add Set to the following 3 lines:
    Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    Set gPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Set jso = gPDDoc.GetJSObject
Running the code after adding "Set" doesn't throw an error but it does crash Access every time. (see attachment error_reporting.jpg)
Any suggestions?
Here's the entire code snippet:
Private Sub cmdHelloAcrobat_Click()
    Dim gApp As Acrobat.CAcroApp
    Dim gPDDoc As Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc
    Dim jso As Object
    Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    Set gPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    If gPDDoc.Open("C:\chris\acrobat_test.pdf") Then
        Set jso = gPDDoc.GetJSObject
        jso.console.Show
        jso.console.Clear
        jso.console.println ("Hello, Acrobat!")
        gApp.Show
    End If

Install Access 97 and Office 2007 on Windows 7

Hopefully this is a useful discussion for anyone wanting to run Access 97 on Windows 7 especially if the intention is to also load Office 2007
or 2010 in addition to Access 97.
I have successfully installed Access 97 SR-2 starting from the Office 97 Professional CD for SR-1.
The level of Windows 7 (64 bit Professional Version) was as installed on a new Dell machine in July 2010.
I then loaded Office 2007 as the main office system. As mentioned elsewhere the requirement to also load Access 97 is often dictated by the need to maintain
legacy applications which continue to be run very successfully at this level of software under Windows XP or similar.
The full procedure and list of problems overcome is as follows:-
1)
Make a custom installation of Office 97 into an Office97 folder selecting only Access and its associated data utilities.
2)
The error message CTL3D32.DLL not correctly installed – must be installed in the Windows System Directory can be ignored. Should find it is already in the
Windows\System32 directory.
3)
If you now run the SR-2b update (SR2bOF97.EXE) for Office 97 it will fail unless you do the following:-
a.
create two new temporary folders – say folder97 and foldersavefonts
b.
copy the windows fonts relating to tahoma and comic (4 files) from \windows\fonts to foldersavefonts.
c.
extract the files from SR2bOF97.EXE to folder97 using Winzip or similar.
d.
select the four font files relating to Tahoma and comic and right click to then install these fonts in Windows 7.
e.
if you do not do the above the SR-2 install fails because of a version problem with the fonts.
f.
now run SR2bOF97.EXE in the normal way. It should be successful – if not the situation is different to mine and the log will need to be viewed to troubleshoot
the problem
g.
finally go to foldersavefonts and install these fonts back into Windows 7.
4)
It is now recommended to run the Jet3 patch
Jet35sp3.exe which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
5)
At this point you should have a fully working Access 97 system. This procedure should also work for Word, Excel and Powerpoint but not Outlook.
6)
Now install Office 2007/10 as required preferably a custom installation into an Office20xx folder.
7)
If you have installed Access 20xx there will be a conflict between the Access 97 and 20xx installations. Both version work fine (ignore the message to rerun setup)
once loaded but Access 97 will need to be run with Administration permissions (right click the short cut and click administrator) after running Access 20xx. In a similar way Access 20xx will rerun its registration processes after running Access 97. This situation
occurs whenever you move between the versions unless you follow the following steps.
8)
Load Access 20xx to ensure that it is registered.
9)
Use notepad to create an empty file MSACCESS.SRG – suggest in folder97
10)
find the Microsoft supplied MSACCESS.SRG – this is installed in the folder name specified in the custom install of Office 20xx. Rename this file to MSACCESS.SRG.SAV.
11)
Copy in the empty MSACCESS.SRG from folder97 to replace the correct version.
12)
This trick seems to prevent the conflict between Access 97 and Access 20xx. Remember if any reinstall work is needed for Office 20xx to reinstate the Microsoft
supplied version.
13)  There
is a documented problem
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproappcompat/thread/4f729cea-aafb-4d4a-b863-705a13de486a relating to a UAC issue but this seems to have been corrected in currently shipped builds of Window 7. If the problem does appear there
is a Microsoft supplied fix for the problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978591/
14)
Finally, in case anyone needs to make a clean start in new folders. I have also found that the above procedures are still repeatable after standard uninstalls
of both Office 97 and Office 20xx
15) If ISAM problems occur with txt or .xls files it is likely that the .DLLs need to be manually registered. To do this use
the command line and type C:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\syswow64\mstext35.dll. This will register mstext35.dll. Then type:- :\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\syswow64\msexcl35.dll. This will register msexcl35.dll
If anyone finds additional problems or information would be pleased to see them posted here.

Access 2007 Reports, Reader 8.0 to 9.0 error

We are running Windows XP SP 3 on 3,000+ systems at my location. I had previously sent out certain reports from within Access 2007 as PDF files attached to emails. Over the last few weeks we have been upgrading to Reader 9.0 and all of a sudden any reports generated on those upgraded systems are going out incorrectly. The pdf files are no longer landscape even though the settings are still the same. Has anyone seen this previously? The only difference between the systems is the version of Reader.
-James

The advice I have seen in this forum, many times, is that you do NOT have Acrobat and Reader installed together, since some components are the same (same module name?) and installing Reader causes problems for Acrobat

Using Powershell Script Run simple query in MS Access 2007 and export the results of query to Excel

Hi Experts,
I have a Access 2007 DB file and 2 Big tables inside that (bigger than the size that can be easily handled by MS Excel 2007).
My requirement is automate using powershell scripts the below things.
1. Create a SQL query in Access DB and save that in access DB
2. Run the saved query and export the result in excel sheet where I can create the charts and Pivots. Thanks in advance
Prajesh

Do you have to use the Access query, couldn't you just recreate the query in Powershell? Here's a link with good info that references an existing script for querying an Access database:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2009/08/13/hey-scripting-guy-can-i-query-a-microsoft-access-database-with-a-windows-powershell-script.aspx
Once you have your dataset you can pipe it to
Export-Csv -NoType c:\pathtofile\output.csv

Your code looks something like this.
DB_URL+=filename.trim()+";DriverID=22;READONLY=true}";
con = DriverManager.getConnection( DB_URL ,"","");
Your code needs to look like this.
DB_URL+=filename.trim()+";DriverID=22;READONLY=true}";
System.out.println("DB_URL=[" + DB_URL +"]");
con = DriverManager.getConnection( DB_URL ,"","");
Once you have run that then you post all of the line that println() prints here. You copy and paste it (do NOT retype it.)
Then you also post the full stack trace.

Disappeared Acrobat in Access 2007

My computer is running Windows 7 , CS5 (acrobat 9 pro) and Office 2007 suite (Access).
I did not have any problem with Access07 until last Friday.
Today I found that Acrobat tool bar is gone in Access 2007. So I want not able to convert any Access files into pdf file.
When I checked, all other office programs (word, excel, etc) retained Acrobat tool bar.
It seems that Acrobat was disabled in Access2007 during last few days. I wonder how this happened and how to restore acrobat toolbar.
Need your assistance.

I was too busy to visit this forum.
As Bill@VT mentioned, I could make pdf file using PDFMaker.
Anyway, I solved the problem today. I have a mirror image of C-partitions saved two weeks ago using Acronis True Image.
I restoed it today. Bingo!. Disappeared Acrobat tool bar is recovered today.

Printing to PDF from MS Office Access 2007

I just upgraded to MS Office Access 2007 and am now noticing that horizontal lines are not always printing on the PDF output file. There is a violation with the WYSIWYG rule now. This problem did not exist with the MS Office 2003 version that I had before. The strange thing is that some of the horizontal lines from my reports print... just not all of them.

General Acrobat Problem Steps
If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER
Acrobat Update http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
Also, for Office 2007, see if this Microsoft product will work for you

Hi, I am relatively new to Dreamweaver CS3; I have built a

following;
1. Put the database form on the web, so users can enter
information straight into the database or/
2. Create a front end form in Dreamweaver and link it to my
database
Ideally, I would like to do #1
This is an internet website, not an intranet website.
Any help would be appreciated as I am growing frustrated.
Thanks,

That makes ASP easy to install, but ease of installation does

There's a very good reason for that. Microsoft stopped
developing ASP in
2000. Although ASP is widely supported, and will continue to
be for the
foreseeable future, it's a technology that's going nowhere.
Anyone just
starting out to learn how to build a database-driven website
would be
better advised to learn one of the technologies that remain
in active
development. That means ASP.NET - which has a steeper
learning curve
than ASP - ColdFusion, or PHP.
Another important consideration is which database to use.
Access is not
designed to be used on a website. It works fine for small
websites that
don't get many visitors, but it creates bloated files, and
locks up when
traffic increases. Although MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server
are more
difficult to learn, they are a much better option for a
website.
I'm biased in favour of PHP and MySQL because I write books
about them,
but I would seriously advise Jedi7 to choose anything other
than Access/ASP.

Anyone else having issues writting string "memo" fields to Access 2007-2010 or SQL Server Express 2008-2012?

I have a data cluster that I am working to write to either Access 2007 thru 2010 and/or SQL Server Express 2008 thru 2012 all on a Windows 7 64 bit OS. Some of the elements are long strings that I put delimited data for the raw trace data. The fields can be 10's of KB long. With Access I cannot stuff any string >255char into the memo field. With SQL Server Express 2008R2 - 2012 I found that if the strings are >32767 they again fail to fill the memo fields. The Access write or reads work fine otherwise, just not the listed offending fields in the cases mentioned. Anyone else having the issue or a solution?

If the long string field has repetitive data, you might be able to compress it using GZIP to reduce it's size below the 32K limitation you mentioned.

Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

Acrobat and Access 2007

I got 2 problems, when i have an access 2007 report and use the function "create and attach to email", on the following mail window, i want that the transmission confirmation and the return receipt check boxes are activated already, unfortunately Outlook 2007 settings have nothing to do with it.
Well, i have to send 40-50 reports each day by email, so it's kinda annoying to hit those 2 check boxes for every mail.
Another problem, after i've sent the mail, the mailwindow isn't closing automatically, i have to close it every time by hitting the X button. Thats annoying too.
Before, i used Acrobat 7 and Office 2003, and the mail window was closed after sending each time, now with Acrobat 9 and Office 2007 it isn't anymore :(
Anyone got a solution for these problems?
Kind regards and merry xmas.
Chris

The first problem which you mentioned is more likely a MS Outlook bug. Try this. Launch Word and open any document. Now go to 'Office Button-> Send-> Email' option. This will create a new mail window with attached word document. Now check the options for transmission confirmation and the return receipt in the mail. Both of them are unchecked. So it's outlook which is not honoring the settings. This behavior is reproducible from MS Access as well (Office button-> Email option). Please check with MS support on this issue. Thanks.
