Hi,
first of all I have to say I'am new to MS Access, I'm used to database
systems like Oracle or MySQL.
I created a simple database consisting of a single table and a form to
fill in new entrys and search for existing entrys. But the search
function that Access generates as I created the proper button is way
to simple, I need a function that enables to search in several
columns.
I saw a few quite simple examples where this was done by DAO, but this
doesn't work with a .mdb database, does it? (Access allways replies
'Unknown user datatype' once it gets to the line: 'Dim db As
Database')
Now, is it possible to generate a new query for .mdb file from a form,
or at least with CurrentData Object, or not?
And if it is possible with the CurrentData Object is it still a
database request then or would it be faster to search through a text
file?
Regards,
Björn Keil

Assuming you are running AK2 in the modules you need a reference to the
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
So open any VB module
Goto Tools->References and select the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library

Helpful folks,
Most of my previous experience with DB2 was on s390 mainframe systems
and the optimizer on this platform always seemed very predictable and
consistent. Since moving to a WinNT/UDB 7.2 environment, the choices
the optimizer makes often seem flaky. But this last example really
floored me. I was hoping someone could explain why I get worse
response time when the optimizer uses two indexes, than when it uses
one. Some context:

My reasons are:

with aprox 20 rows each and are never added to after that.

I am trying to use Access as a front end for extracting information from

When I consult the linked table in access, the total number of records

appear at all. It seems as if access or the ODBC drivers returns several
times the same record and skips some of the records, curiosly...

Hi, I got a pass-through query (that takes about 15 mins to process)
I would like to integrate variables to it.
IE: something simple:
Select EmplID from empl_Lst
where empl_lst.timestamp between !! And

Not sure how to do so (should it be a query in Access or a macro)
The connection would be ODBC.
