Can I Modify .MDB VBA From Access 2010?

Hello:
Currently, I am using Access 2010 and 2013. One of my clients is still using an mdb file created by Access 2003. They don't want me to upgrade to .accdb, but want me to modify the VBA code.
Prior to today, I had a version of Access 2003, but that is no longer available to me. Can I successfully make VBA changes to an Access 2003 .mdb file from Access 2010 with the same reliability I could expect if making them from native Access 2003...
and still leave the file as an .mdb?
Thanks,

In general: yes. The only gotcha is that your version of Access may update the references to non-standard code libraries. The client will then have to remove those references and set the appropriate ones for their system.

ODBC from Access 2010 - where have my exported tables gone?

Story so far:
Environment Windows 8.1 Office 2013 both 64 bit
Got an Access 2010 DB which is too big (1.8GB), so I want to do an SQL Express back end and an Access front end.
I install SQL 2012 Express on my local system CCW8.
I create a DB in SQL Management Studio (called OUS). In Access 2013 I create an ODBC datasource (it does not ask for 32 or 64 bit) called CCW8\OUS
I can export tables to this daatsource
I delete the local tables in Access.
I attach the dbo.TABLENAME SQL tables
My data is visible.
But I need to find these tables in SQL Management Studio to do the database diagrams. I can't find them
My OUS database exists but has no tables.
After a reboot, the datasource is no longer visible in ODBC datasouces (32 or 64 bit) but the Access DB can still "see" some data
Can someone point me to a reference?
Also should I stop using Access as a front end - it's easy for users coming from Excel and Office VBA?
CarolChi

Hello,
It seems that Access data export to ODBC data source is failed.
Did you try to export Access data into SQL Server database with another methods? For example, using SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access or SQL Server Import and Export Wizard from SQL Server Management Studio?
In order to use Access as front end for a SQL Server database, you can build a OBDC connection to your SQL Server database and create linked table in Access.

Hi,
That requires some exercise. This 'old' sample code might get you started. Remember it points to earlier versions so you have to set the right libraries:

How can I block a url from accessing my browser?

I want to block a url from accessing my browser. The url in question, djbsaqja.co.cc, flashed a pop-up saying that my computer was infected with a dangerous virus and that "Windows Security" required that I download a program to fix it.
I maintain realtime virus protection, but ran a manual scan anyway, which proved that I was clean.
The url listed above would not let me out of an unending chain of popups, demanding that I download their tool.
Instead, I opened a new Firefox session (it was the only way I could re-enter Firefox without this rogue url taking control), then cleared out my history, cache and cookies.
I'm clean...and now I'm back in control with, I believe, no damage. But since I wrote down the url, is there a way that I can block from accessing my browser again?
Thanks for the help.

You can add it to your hosts file - http://allthingsmarked.com/2006/08/28/howto-block-websites-using-the-hosts-file
Sites like that pop up on a regular basis, but will often get taken down quite quickly. I have just checked and the site appears to have been taken down.

Working offline with data from Access 2010 web database

Hello all,
I have an Access 2010 web database that I have published to a SharePoint site. Users currently work with the data via one of several Access 2010 front end applications that simply have linked tables and client queires, forms and reports. On a couple
of occasions, we have had issues with our SharePoint site that have left users unable to access the data. A couple of times it was due to our site collection suddenly and inexplicably becoming read only and the last time (while I was on vacation, of course)
due to some license changes my folks were unable to access the site.
I'm getting ready to go on vacation again. What i would like to do is have a sort of emergency back up plan should things go awry again while I'm gone.
What I envision is a back up database that has actual data tables, rather than simply linked lists, that I can sync with my SharePoint lists on a regular basis. That way, should the SharePoint lists become inaccessible, users could continue to work with
the data offline and any changes can be synced once a connection is restored.
I have read through
this article, but in each scenario I was unable to actually open tables to work with the data once offline. Is this a situation where I should simply have folks work offline with a local copy containing all of the data and then republish? Or, is there
a way to simply sync? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm really hoping to leave my laptop at home on this next trip.
Thanks,
Greg

How can you print mirror image from word 2010 on the HP Photosmart c310 printer

Trying to print mirror image from Microsoft 2010 on a windows 7 computer to the HP Photosmart C310 printer. Can not find an option. Please advise.

Judith
Perhaps you can enlighten us as to what "does not print correctly" actually means.
Miss-spells your name? or what?
How have you set up your Page set-up?
It has to agree with how you are feeding the envelope in and what printer driver you are using.

Exchange 2013 - can no longer move mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Ex 2013.

Migrating to Exchange 2013 from Exchange 2010. Created Ex 2013, moved some mailboxes OK. Then could no longer move mailboxes. No errors. The Migration email says complete. Synced: none, Total Mailboxes: none.
Tried several mailboxes. Same result.
Ex 2010 is SP3 RU6, (at least it says RU6 is installed in Programs/Features. The build is for SP3 w/o RU6???)
Ex 2013 is SP1 aka CU4.
How to proceed???
john11

After many attempts to fix the issue (move remaining 4 mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013) I contacted Microsoft and we resolved the issue. Here's how.
btw - Thanks for the suggestions from Ed. However, they did not seem to move us forward.
What did work:
1. On the Exchange 2010 box, create a new database. (Someone else suggested this also). Then move the remaining Exchange 2010 mailboxes to this new db. Then after that, move the 4 mailboxes to Exchange 2013 using the GUI on Ex 2013. This only worked for one
of the four mailboxes. The other 3 failed.
2. Apparently, we need to restart the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service on the Exchange 2013 after several failed move attempts to clear cache related to the moves.
3. Then on the Exchange 2013 box, use this Exchange shell command:
New-MoveRequest -identity "[email protected]" -TargetDatabase "Exchange 2013 DB name" -BadItemLimit '500' -verbose
This moved the remaining 3 mailboxes including the Discovery mailbox. It took some time. But we could check the progress using
Get-MoveRequest
The MS Tech was terrific. Really knew his stuff. And all mailboxes are on Exchange 2013. Well, the last one is still moving, but I am optimistic.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had to get this done and the MS Tech made that happen.

Word merge from Access 2010

Hi, I want to be able to set the mail merge data source and get 'Object variable or With block variable not set in procedure...' at this line
With wordDocument
.MailMerge.OpenDataSource _
Name:=gDbapp.Name, _
ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=False, LinkToSource:=True, _
AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:="", _
WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", Revert:=False, _
Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto, _
connection:=connectionString, _
SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM 'qWordMergeDataSource' WHERE wmdsPrintId='" & sessionID & "'", _
SQLStatement1:="", SubType:=wdMergeSubTypeAccess
I have recorded a macro in Word to do this and the code snippet above is taken from this.
Do you have any suggestions or recommendation to resolve this issue?
Many thanks,
Jonathan

Hi, sorry about the delay in responding.
I should mention that the template is typically only opened from Access.
When I use the Immediate window to examine the parts of the connection string and document properties, valid values are printed.
I'm wondering whether part of the issue is that the connection string is limited to 255 characters. I have been adjusting the connection string to test whether a different combination makes any difference. No joy.
connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"User ID=Admin;" & _
"Data Source=" & gDbapp.Name & ";" & _
"Mode=Read;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=6;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=1;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Global Partial Bulk Ops=2;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Global Bulk Transactions=1;" ' & _
"Jet OLEDB:Support Complex Data=False;" & _
' "Extended Properties=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ";" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Create System Database=False;" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:SFP=False;" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:System database=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ";" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Registry Path=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ";" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:New Database Password=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ";" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Encrypt Database=False;" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Don't Copy Locale on Compact=False;" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Compact Without Replica Repair=False;" & _
' "Jet OLEDB:Bypass UserInfo Validation=False"
Actually when changing the combination of connection string arguments I get the following error
I am wondering whether this is the inner error? That is, I am running the access application that this template is wanting to use as a data source and the database is running in exclusive mode. I have tried 0 and 1 for the setting of
Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=1;
But changing the setting to 0 does not change the outcome. Could running is exclusive mode be the cause and is there a workaround?
Many thanks,
Jonathan

Query Timeout on stored procedure executed from Access 2010

I am trying to delete old jobs from a SQL 2008 R2 database. I created a stored procedure on the server that deletes all Jobs over 1 year old. The delete can take several minutes to run as it deletes record on several related tables. I am getting a error
"2147217871 - [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Query timeout expired". The query runs fine on the Server. I have tried setting Client timeout to 300 sec but it times out way before 5 min. I am not sure what else I
can do to fix this problem. I am hoping someone has seen this and figured out a fix.
Here is there code
Public Sub Cleanup_Database()
On Error GoTo CleanUp_Err
    Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
    Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
    ODBC_conn = "ODBC;Description=testbox2;DRIVER=SQL Server;" & _
                "SERVER=O2GMSAPPTEST\SQL122DEVL;Trusted_Connection=Yes;" & _
                "APP=Microsoft Office 2010;DATABASE=IMB_TraceData;StatsLog_On=Yes"
    cmd.ActiveConnection = ODBC_conn
    cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
    cmd.CommandText = "DataBase_Cleanup"
    cmd.Execute
CleanUp_Err:
    Dim i As Long
    Dim str As String
    str = ""
    For i = 0 To Errors.Count - 1
        str = str & Errors(i).Number & "-" & Errors(i).Description & " " & vbNewLine
    Next i
    If str = "" Then
        str = Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
    End If
    MsgBox str, , "Trace Update"
End Sub


You didn't say how you were setting the client timeout, but this has worked for me in an adp.
'Temporarily increase query timeout, which is an application-wide setting
'CurrentProject.Connection.CommandTimeout = 60 'Too late to change this setting- no effect
Const cstrTimeoutOptionName As String = "OLE/DDE Timeout (Sec)"
Const clngTimeoutSecondsForQuery As Long = 300
strQueryTimeOutOriginal = Application.GetOption(OptionName:=cstrTimeoutOptionName)
Application.SetOption cstrTimeoutOptionName, CStr(clngTimeoutSecondsForQuery)

How can I block Server Admin from accessing a server?

I've got a G5 FTP server running Server 10.5.7 that sits outside our firewall. Oddly I find that I can enter the IP and login info via Server Admin and voila - I have access. All sharing services are off and all remote access services in System Prefs are off. I want this system totally locked down except for the FTP server app I run. What do I need to kill to prevent access via Server Admin? Or anything else for that matter?
My concern is that via Server Admin someone could really mess things up and of course turn on services that would grant them full access.
Thanks

Oh sorry - I put this in the wrong category.
I'll duplicate this in the 10.5 section
