hi,
I use DAO recordset to query database tables of MSAccess. I open the recordset and miss/forget to close it. Can anyone tell me the maximum number of recordsets that can be open at a time (on querying Access 2003 and Access 2007 table) after which it gives an error saying "no more tables can be open"?
Thanks,
Satheesh

Hi. We have an Insights article listing Access Specifications which lists the potential number of open tables as 2048, subject to reduction for internal system table usage.
Although 2048 appears to be quite generous, be aware that when you take into account the number of tables opened when running a typical multi-table SELECT query the limit on recordsets (rather than tables) is likely to be much lower than 2048.
Regardless of the limit, I would strongly advise you to ensure that all open recordsets are always closed at end of use.

Keep in mind a lot has to do with the Scope of the Variable Declaration for the Recordset. - If Dim rst As DAO.Recordset is Declared locally such as in the Click() Event of a Command Button, then the Recordset will be Closed automatically as soon as you Exit the Click() Event.
- If Private rst As DAO.Recordset is Declared in a Form's Code Module, then the Recordset will be Closed automatically as soon as you Close that Form.
- If Public rst As DAO.Recordset is Declared in a Standard Code Module, then the Recordset will be Closed automatically as soon as your Database is Closed.
- The above being said, you should 'always' Close a Recordset when you have finished it, and deallocate Memory assigned to the Object Variable as well, as in:
- rst.Close
-
Set rst = Nothing
- If you are not sure of the State of the Recordset, then:
- If Not (rst Is Nothing) Then
-
rst.Close
-
Set rst = Nothing
-
End If

Hello Access gurus,
I am curious as to why you can't open an Access 2003 Db with Access
2000. We have a Visual Basic application which is using DAO 3.6 to
connect to the Access database. It IS able to open an 2000 and 2003 Db
because they are all in Jet 4 database format, I assume. But when
trying to open an Access 2003 Db from Access 2000 you get the
'Unrecognized database' Error. Aren't they the same database structure
and the only...

Hi Everyone,
I need to open an Access 2003 form to a specific record from a custom Outlook 2003 Appointment form. The form has a command button that would pass a record id to access and open the appropriate record. I have searched through many Outlook and Access books and the web and cannot seem to find any info on this. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a .MDB back-end database that is created with Access 2.0.

My collegue had to buy a new laptop that came with Office 2007 already installed.
She had Access 2003 installed on top, in a different directory.
None of our 2003 databases will run on her laptop, all giving the error
"Form Open- Event, property does not exist" or something like that.
This happens with every form. We can access the database, but not open any form. Going into a module of code, we can compile ok, no errors.
