My users have a number of backend .accdb databases (which I can't access directly). I need to code some vba to modify the structure of some of the tables in these databases to convert Text Fields to Rich Text memos. (The fields already contain text including Access "rich-text" i.e. the relevant html coding). I need to: Modify the field to be a rich text memo. Modify the existing contents (if applicable) to display correctly as Access rich text in forms, datasheets and reports. I can write a SQl statement that will modify a field from TEXT (255) to MEMO: ALTER TABLE tblSource ALTER COLUMN

I need to automatically generate a 12 character value for my Business Key. Without any user interaction. 8 character -> Today Date (yyyymmdd or ddmmyyyy). + 4 character -> Sequential Number (0001,0002,0003). The Sequential Number must reset on each new day. Is it possible to do this in Microsoft Access 2010+ without any coding involved? Since you are using Access 2010+ the best way to accomplish your goal would be to use a Before Change data macro like this To create the Before Change macro, click the "Before Change" button on the "Table" tab of the ribbon when the table is open in Datasheet

I am trying to prevent database users from being able to view the linked tables in the navigation pane of an Access 2010 database. I have hidden the pane and disabled the F11 key. I am aware that you can disable the functionality of the SHIFT key that permits you to bypass the access start-up options as per this article . My question is whether it is possible to prevent a user from re-enabling the shift key either from within the database itself or remotely via another database. If this is not possible does anyone know of the next best method I can use to prevent users viewing the tables in

I am developing wpf application in C#. I have successfully created the setup project for wpf application in visual studio 2010. I have used MS Access 2010 as a database. It install fine on all computers. But on some computer there is no Microsoft Office installed and on some computer there is lower version of MS Office like MS Office 2003. When I install my application on these computers it gives me connectivity issues. Can you please tell me what should I need to do ? Should I need to include any prerequisite for MS Access 2010 in visual studio 2010 setup project ? If there is any which are

I need to transfer Access data macros from my test db to my production db. Anybody know how to do that? I know that transferring tables from one accdb to another will also transfer the data macros, but that's not an option in my case. I also know I can recreate them manually in the production accdb, but that leaves me open to errors and requires taking the production database down for a longer time than would a scripted transfer scenario. If I only had to do this once it wouldn't be such a big deal, but I'll need to do it many times over the course of a development project. I've tried
