Having a problem using an Access 2003 database on a Windows 2012 Server

We have an old application developed in Visual Basic 6.0 with an Access 2003 database.  We have recently migrated the application from a D-link data server to a new Windows Server 2012.  At first everything seemed OK, but then the application
began running erratically slower, till after about two weeks it was unusable.  I have found various "fixes" for the problem which seem to have worked for some people and not for others.  We temporarily resolved the problem by rebooting
the server but do not anticipate that will be a permanent solution.
The one fix that would apparently work, to update the database to at least Access 2007, is not available to us as we would then have to rewrite our application and we cannot afford to do that. 
What I am considering doing now is moving the database to a different platform while leaving the application on the network server (Server 2012). 
In the course of researching the server problem, I encountered some suggestions that Windows 8 is incompatible with Access 2003.  We have one Windows 8 desktop, one XP and the rest are Windows 7. 
I would be interested in people's opinions as to whether moving the database might solve the problem and also whether the Windows 8 machine might be contributing to the problem.

    <snip>The subject of this forum is Oracle databases. How does your problem relate to that subject?
    Two bits of advice:
    1) Make sure you ask questions in a forum related to your problem.
    2) If you want to be taken seriously as a professional, drop the MS IM Speak and use the language of the forum. In this forum it is English, which is successfully used by many people for whom English is far from their native language.

    Good Morning.  I'm having a problem using both my Photoshop elements and premiere programs.  I've installed the programs, redeemed my code and entered the serial numbers, and created the adobe log-in.  I am able to open up the organizer without problems, but when I try to open up the photo editor (either by trying to open up the program from the main menu, or right-clicking on a photo in the organizer to edit in elements), the program asks me to sign in to adobe (which I can do and it doesn't give an an "incorrect password" or log-in ID error) then accept the terms and conditions.  When I click to accept the terms and conditions, nothing happens and the editor fails to open.  Everytime I click on the program, I get this same "loop" of signing in and accepting T&C's, but the program fails to open.  Any advice?

      Premiere Elements 10 is now 64 bit, but not PSE10.
    Take a look at your scratch disk set-up and if you have a spare volume, allocate that first before the C drive. Elements use scratch disks when it gets low on RAM.

    When I open the help menu, the dialogue box defaults to an unreadable display font. Is there any way to change that default font? Using the help menus to find a solution is not possible for I cannot read what it is displaying.

    How to monitor the Oracle 11g database sessions on Windows 2008 server (other than SQL Developer tool), which procedure or query is taking more time with Java application.

    Recently i found this tool- myorasql on the net to monitor the performence of database, easy to setup and check the performence.  i never tested it but seems impresive.  It is free and i think it would be use ful to you.

    You can also use Quest - Toad or sqlplus if you are very good at sql commands and all dictionary tables or OEM/EM grid if it is configured .

  • MDT 2012 to Migrate from Windows 2003 32 Bit to Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit

    We wish to use MDT to migrate from Windows 2003 32 Bit to Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit. All servers are virtual on HyperV or VMWare - plan is to use USMT hardlink Migration.
    Is this supported? Has anyone used this for server migration?

    Thanks Keith for your reply.
    Even is USMT does not work, we are ok. SMIGdeploy will be helpful.
    Basically, want MDT to run some scripts on the Windows 2003 server, post which install Windows 2012 and join it to the existing domain with the same computer name.
    Then hydration kit to help with the installation of features etc. Also, we would like to take a complete backup to a WIM before migrating.
    I am sure this is workable.

  • Windows 2012 Server Backup Problems - VSS Error

          Our company uses Windows Server Backup to back up our Windows 2012 Server.  We back up the host component and the two virtual machines on the server.  Every time I install windows updates
    on our server my backup jobs stop working and I get a VSS error.  In order to get backup working again, I have to recreate my backup job.  In order to do this I have to attach all the backup drives to the computer at the same time. 
    This has been an issue all the way back to when the server was first installed.  At that time the person who installed Windows Server talked to Microsoft.  Microsoft said the problem would be fixed in the first service pack which they ended
    up never releasing.  I have looked online, but haven’t found any information on these issues.  Are there any fixes for these two problems?

    Hi,
    Sorry for the delay.
    Can you first do a backup then install windows updates? Please provide more detailed message about the VSS error.

  • Should one use MPIO and/or CSV in a Windows 2012 R2 guest cluster?

    Should one use MPIO and/or CSV in a Windows 2012 R2 guest cluster using VMware ESXi 5.5 presented Fiber LUN RDMs.
    If MPIO were implemented is there a preference for HW manufacturer DISM vs. MS DISM in a guest cluster?
    What partition size/offset is recommended for the MSR partition (currently set to 1000 MB) - unfortunately seeing storage validation error with failing block write at block 2048 (which in return may be related to VMware ESXi 5.5. disk partition layout)
    The current setup works without using MPIO (question is would it help overcome the current failing persistent SCSI-3 reservation warning.)
    What were the benefit of using CSV if any in a guest cluster? The Luns in scope would eventually hold SQL data and log files.
     Thanks for your input already.

  • Removing admin password form Access 2003 database front end and back end

    We have a legacy database that has been passed down from the original creator, who is no longer with the organization. It was created in Access 2003. It has a front end and a back end. The original admin password can not be located and we are in the process
    of upgrading this application to 2010.  Is there a way to remove that password so we can make changes to the original files?

    Hi,
    What password are you talking about, the one created with the workgroup manager? That will be difficult since 2010 doesn't have the workgroup manager anymore. You can still use the database in the 2010 environment but you can't make any changes to the original
    database without the password.

  • Using MS Access as Database from Remote Machine

    Hi All
    I am trying to use MS access as Data base, I have done the following.
    1. I have Added the mdb file on a remote machines DSN.(Control Panel->Admin Tools->ODBC->System Tools)
    2. In xMII data services->Data Servers, Copied the Default IDBC Server, renamed it and updated the ServerURL as  jdbc:inetdae:<IP of Remote machine>:1433?database=<DB Name>&sql7=true.
    With these things done, I am not able to get the Data Server Accesible.
    Please correct what mistake I have made.
    Thanks and Regards
    Rupesh

    Rupesh,
    First Access is not a very good database... I would suggest using MSSQL, MySQL, or some other 'real' database. But I digress...
    The only supported way to get the data you want from Access is by... you guessed it... the <b>xMII OLEDB UDS</b>. Sure you could try the JDBC - ODBC bridge, but this seems to be shaky.
    Martin - seriously... I'm trying to get the UDSs out to all of you!

  • What front-end tools could be used to access the database server.

    Could someone please let me know what would be the role of a oracle DBA in the following fields of corporate sector and what might be the front-end tools used to access the oracle database. Any little help is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    1. Telecommunication - Oracle 9i - Small to Medium size company
    2. Cash n Carry (with 4 to 5 branches) - Oracle 8i - small to medium
    3. Share broking (with two branches) - Oracle 8i - small

    The role of a DBA should be to get out as quickly as possible, because both 8i and 9i are desupported.
    Front-end tools are
    Developer
    JDeveloper
    HTML DB (probably no longer available, while desupported)
    Oracle Portal (9i and higher)
    .NET
    Oracle Application Express (successor of HTML DB, don't remember the minimum DB version, likely 10g)
