Hi all and thanks in advance,
I have a frontend/backend scenario where the backend has a tendency to bloat quit a lot over a period of about 5 days. Once compacted, there is not problem but it needs to be done on a regular basis. From the administrator form, I can set the value of a field within the backend so that every minute, the main form of the database queries the value within this field and if it meets a certain criteria, a pop-up appears informing the users that it will close in 5 mins. Once all the frontends have closed, I can then compact the backend.
I want to be able to automate this task during the night when there are only a few users accessing the frontend. I have set a scheduled task to open the backend on a PC which is never used during the night. Once the backend is open, the value is changed so that all frontends are closed. Once closed, I can then get the compact to run. Once finished, I can get the value changed so that it doesn't boot people out and close the backend. The problem I have is that due to Access security, I am required to log into the database with a username and password when the scheduled task runs. Is there any way that I can get the database to enter the username and password automatically similar to the way in which I use a command to make sure that it uses the correct workgroup file when opening?
I am using Access 2002 on a XP platform.
Regards,
Mark

Hi all,
I have managed to figure this out on my own using the /user & /psw command lines.
Cheers anyway,

Hi,
I have a number of databases in A2K, written on different machines with
different installations of Office. I have found that compacting a database
while it is open regularly fails, seemingly at random. This is especially
annoying as I usually set the Compact on Close setting in Tools/Options to
true.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix? Thanks for any help,

I need to automate a report in a different database (and thank yous to Terry

below is the code with the one line that does not work, marked: 'Does not

It appears that the type of object returned from the "AllReports" collection
is not a report object.

Access is noted for bloating a database when you add and delete records
frequently. I have always had mine set to compact on close, and that works
great. Now after everyone's advice I split my database, so the data is in
a second (back-end) database with all the tables linked. However, now when
I close the database, it compacts the front end, since that's what's open,
and the back-end grows.
I now have to manually open and close the...

Hello All
I have a database (Access 2000, running on Win 2000), which suffers from
bloat over a period of time. In order to solve the problem I set the
option to compact on exit. This however has caused a problem. The
permissions of the mdb file which are set to Everyone-Full control, are
reset when the database is compacted. The end result is the the users
get a message saying Access cannot locate the database. I can run it

Hello All,
I've written code in a test database with test data. Everything seems
to be working except compact database in VB code per
http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0041.htm. The reason I say this
is the auto number fields are NOT being reset to zero. I delete the
data from tables with action delete queries, then call the compact DB
code which is followed by importing data to tables and subsequent
append queries to other tables....

I just used Tools / Database Utilities / Compact Database
in Access 97 for the first time. Unlike Access 2.0, it does
not ask me to furnish a filename for it to compact into.
It just launched headlong into a process that, after the
fact, had the result of overwriting the 44-meg previous
size file into an 8-meg file of the same name.
Has anyone ever experienced a data-loss during such
a compact operation under A97? Surely, the access...

I am in the process of rewriting an MS Access application (access front end with SQL 2k database) in VB.NET and one of the things I would like to do is link in to the compiled Access ADE so that I can use the reports that have already been created.

I have successfully linked to the Access ADP, but would really like to...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
