I'm working on an application that imports and exports tons of CSV data,
like 64,000 records per file, and six or seven files in a set.
First off, by the tine I import a few hundred thousand records the database
is _huge_. Like 500 meg, although the csv files are only 25 meg in total.
When I compact the database its still 100meg. How do I keep the size down?
Second, I did a manual delete of 300,000 records yesterday by doing a
select-all in the table and then delete. Is there a faster way? Granted my
computer is no speed demon, but it must have taken twenty minutes or more.
Third, during that twenty minutes, Access was displaying that lovely little
"not responding" message in the title bar. Any way to get rid of that
message?
Thanks,
Mike

I think a delete query might speed up performance.

Are you importing to a new or existing table? If new, Access defaults the
field types to text usually, and the field size to 255. Import to an
existing table.
Write code using AddNew to import. This is *may* be quicker, and allows you
to put some DoEvents in the Loop, so that your db will not be "locked up"

Deleting a lot of records which are indexed takes a long time
particularly on back ends. Depending on the database you are using you
can kill the table and replace with an empty copy, use delete object
whatever, or delete the indexes before deleting the records and then
recreate them. The latter may be needed if you can't kill the table
(eg if there are relationships).

This question refers to a main form with a continuous form subform.
After an error occurs after entering several records in the subform, how can I
delete all the data in the main form and all the records in the subform? I have
tried undoing both the main form and the subform and I have tried deleting the
record in the main form.
Thanks!

Hi!
I'm having problems submitting a new record through the form.
I'm working with the wizard and I've added a control button to my form
for entering entering a new record but for some reason it only works
for the first record I enter.
The same goes for deleting a record.
It says I can't access the records, and that goes for both making or
deleting.
I'd appreciate your help very much,

Hello,
I am using Access 2002. WinXP, Template from MS called Orders Mgmt DB.
I have tweaked this DB to work for our small co. It has worked pretty
well up until I made the mistake of deleting about 80 records from the
Orders table. 80 out of a 1000 records.
Now our data entry form shows our customer addresses, but not customer
order history. When looking at all of the tables, customer, payments,
orders, they still have all of the...

Dear Readers,
I am developing an application that stores "messages" in array list
and writes new entries to a disk file at the end. This file is used
incase the user choses to restart the program. When the program is
restarted the messages are replayed so the application knows where it
is up to.
I am not allowed to use a **database** I have been instructed to use a
flat file. The application I am replacing does that.

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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
