I have a situation where a linked server to an access DB is crashing my SQL server. Crashed here means adding the linked server causes all other linked servers using that provider to stop working. Any queries to those linked servers hang and don't complete. This situation persists until the server is restarted. However, when I use OPENDATASOURCE to connect to the same data source I don't have this problem. Why would one work and the other crash? The provider I'm using is Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0. I have Dynamic parameter and Allow inprocess enabled. Example query below select * from

I am developing an access database with some forms that are only used for data entry. The problem is that, when I open any of these forms, access creates a new entry in the underlying table, including incrementing the autonumber primary key of the underlying table, and the autonumber remains incremented even if the user opts not to create the record in the database. This means that there are gaps in the sequence of autonumbers in the actual table due to all the times users open and close the form without committing changes. I am using the following code in the beforeupdate method to allow

In Access 2010, I have a continuous form, and I'd like to change certain properties of a 'cell', like border colour, based on values in another cell. I haven't found a way to do this in VBA, because it's a continuous form and changing the properties directly in VBA changes it for all records, not just the one I'm on. I assume I have to use some form of conditional formatting, but the conditional formatting GUI only allows me to set background colour, basic text formatting, and the Enabled property. How can I set other properties on a control on a continuous form, for specific records only? You

I have a Subform/Subreport control displayed on a Form in an Access 2010 database, and I use it to display both Forms and Reports. I have a few event handlers in which I need to know whether a Report is currently loaded into the Subform/Subreport control, or if it's a Form that's loaded. I have tried all of the following to no avail. Any of the following conditions If IsEmpty(NavigationSubform.Form) Then '... If IsNull(NavigationSubform.Form) Then '... If IsOject(NavigationSubform.Form) Then '... If NavigationSubform.Form Is Nothing Then '... If NavigationSubform.Form Is Null Then '... If Nz

I am trying to open a form from a button in another form. The form with the button,contracts_all form, has a field ID and I want to open up the form that contains the information with that ID. This second form,contracts, has additional information and has buttons that allow editing of that particular contract. I have managed to get something but it's giving me a 'Run -time error 2489. Form contracts not open' The code is below. Thanks in advance. Private Sub Command74_Click() ID = [Forms]!Contracts_all![ID] DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "Contracts", ID End Sub Dim Rs As Recordset Dim Test As

I am trying to set up a form to use a disconnected ADODB.Recordset as its source. The issue I have is that changes are not saved into the original Access table upon closing the form and replying "Yes" to the prompt. What am I missing ? Note: Please don't tell me the method is useless, it's just a POC with a local table, I plan to try later with a more "distant" recordset. Dim conn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Private Sub Form_Load() Set conn = New ADODB.Connection conn.Open CurrentProject.Connection Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset With rs rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient rs.Open
