Hi,
I need to know if there is anyway of opening a database only for reading
data, is an Access database, the problem is that if the file is open, the
connection fails, saying that the file is already in use.
Can I open the database in a read only mode, or something like that???
Thanxs in advanced.

Usually, when I am first creating an access database the file is flagged as
open and single use. What I have to do is, close the file, and Open it
again in two instances of Access. Now the file is shareable.
Once you have that you should not fail accessing the file from .Net. As
soon as you attempt to modify the schema though, Access will attempt to mark
it single use again. Lesson learned; don't develop against production copy
of the database until you can take it offline.
If the database is marked single use "exclusive" , then only the person
editing the file can work with it until the file is closed.

The problem is I have started running into what I believe are stack

three list views, one tree control with up to 30,000 nodes, maybe 15
comboboxes (half of which have a large recordset as rowsource), 20 or

Interestingly I can open the mdb files of the same 2003 databases in

This database runs code on the execution to look into a master database
for new changes and will update the user's database accordingly. I

Hi All,
I tried to access the mysql database in ODBC using ip address and
username/password.
It returns, "cannot connect to MySQL server on IP ADDRESS(10060)".
This could be related to Firewall on the server.
Is there anyway to access MySQL database using ODBC without opening
port 3306?

Hello all
A strange problem here. We have an Access 2000 database in use. I upgraded one user to Office 2003 SP3. When he now open this database, all dropdown boxes are displaying blank menus. When I open the same database in Office 2002, the dropdown boxes have populated menus.
Now I have converted the database to 2002 format and it still works fine when opening in 2002, but still have the same problem when opening in 2003.

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.

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,...
