We have 30,000 MDBs scattered across our intranet created with Access
versions 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003, and using various Jet engines. Some are
secured; some with their own MDW.
We would like to create a script that will check each MDB and report the
version of Access that created it and the version of Jet. Since we don't
know which are secured, and we have so many, we are looking for a method
that does not require the database to be opened ... perhaps something that
will examine the file header.
We will likely follow up with a script that takes some customized actions
(e.g. moving files, triggering emails) based upon the version, so the
commercial products, such as AccVer and Total Access do not appear to fully
fit the need.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce 2 2278
Hi
Delayed reply! I have been looking at some questions to which there
have been no replies.
Maybe you could use Inno or modify the code listed at http://www13.brinkster.com/vincenzog...t.asp?idart=75

Hi
Oops, this just gives the exe versions.
You could use LISTMDB
(see http://www.aylott.com.au/software.htm)
but as this is priced on a per-workstation basis this would not be
cheap. I don't know whether this does in fact open each database.

Hi,
Does anyone know how a script can detect whether exception handling
using try/catch blocks is supported in the browser, so that it can use
them to perform better error handling, and a syntax error is not
produced in cases where they are not supported?
I know that IE and Netscape 5 and above support exception handling (and
older versions don't), but I don't know about other browsers.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

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,...
