LinkMasterField s Property issue: OLE server or ActiveX Control

10 New Member
I get this "The LinkMasterField s Property setting has produced this error: 'A problem occurred while Microsoft Office Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control' " error message when I try to add/edit line item to the subform and when I click OK, I am able to make changes, but the changes are not saved to the database.

This happens only when I try to use Access Database remotely. things work fine when I go to the server and add/edit line items in subform.

I have taken a copy of production database and pasted it in some other folder on production server itself. I added few fields to the table, modified Query and modified form containing subform. Then, I try to add line items. things work fine on server, but when I access the database from local machine, n try to add line items in subform, I get the above mentioned error. but the production database works fine remotely as well.

Please help!!!

Has this database been split into a front end/back end configuration, or are you trying to access a non-split database on a shared server?

I am trying to access a non-split database on the server, the folder containing the database has been shared with few users who will make changes when required. I think issue occur when I make change to the form containing subform

You should never work on design changes of a database that's in use.

This is why splitting the FE & BE and releasing a new version of the (amended) FE is such a popular setup. I suggest you organise things the same way if you want to avoid such issues in future.

Hi Neopa,
I think this will solve my problem. However, I need a suggestion from you.

I have made changes in tables, forms and reports. How should I apply these changes to production databases.
Steps I have in mind for production implementation:
1) modify the production database tables in design mode
2) make a copy of the database (say db1.mdb) and modify forms, queries and report in that db. Doing so, because I have 12 databases to be modified.
3) create a front end database, link it to the production database tables. Then, import the forms, queries and reports from the db1.mdb database

Please suggest if it is OK or not. All the 12 databases are similar.

Sorry to use undeclared abbreviations. You got it though. That's exactly what I was talking about.

The usual method is to have a BE in place on the network. The FE is maintained on your development machine, and no-one else has access to it. Copies of the FE are on each user's machine. When a new release (tested on your machine) is ready the FE db that you've been working on is copied to each of the machines of the people who are to use it.

Does that sound like it makes sense?

I should add, when you have a situation that requires changes to the BE (Generally much rarer), then you simply do your testing work with a copy and release it to the network when ready. If, as is usually the case, the new BE only works with a new version of the FE, then you will need to release the FE to all the clients (as in previous post) at the same time as releasing the new BE.

Yes. It does make sense. Unfortunately, This solution also didn't work for me.
I got the same error after deploying the FE to user's machine. No clue what's wrong... user can add line items to production db directly without FE, but after modifications, I get error message mentioned above.

For anyone who is having this problem and want to know the solution. Add this line of code before your connect method call.

Hi All, We need to develop an activeX control using C# and this control should have property page support so that users can change the attributes of the control in design time. (i.e., in front page editor, one can right click on this activeX control and change its attributes). We were successfully able to create activeX cotrol but were not so lucky with property pages support. Neither MSDN or net has any clues
