Troubleshooting Queries in Access
Hi All, I am trying to run a query in an Access database, the query is expected to populate an existing table with new data, however it is not running as expected. As per the set-up process, 1. Have deleted old tables (with previous data), and imported new data for these tables from a different Access database 2. Then I am doing a compact and repair. 3. Then I am running query that is expected to populate the table, I see no records are added to the table Could this be a file reference issue **or** lack of data **or** missing tables /steps **or** a connection within Access. Appreciate step by step process to diagnose the issue
Query failure in Windows 11
Hi I just had a new computer at work, and changed from windows 10 to windows 11. I have a query, which compare 2 tables, and add rows in table2 that dont exits in table1. This has been working for years, but now it, only sometimes, double all the rows. INSERT INTO MPS Columns from Table2 (Access linked to sharepoint) SELECT MPS2. Columns from table1 FROM MPS2 WHERE not exists (Select 1 from MPS WHERE MPS.[MPSid] = MPS2.[MPSid]); It compares a unik field MPSid It doubles the rows sometimes, and the MPSid is the same, in the doubled rows Has something changed, or is there a workaround? Best Regards Tony
"Access" does not close completely, so the further application must be closed in the task manager
If vba was used in "Access", the application no longer closes completely and must be closed in the task manager. The problem occurs on one device and the same application runs without problems on another. The problem arose with Access 2019 on windows 11. Now I have uninstalled Office 2019. But even with Office 365 the problem remains.
Access Not Responding
I have an Access database (32 Bit) with a SQL Express backend that has been constantly Not Responding ever since Jan. 9th. There have been no programming updates to the database for a week, so it is not a programming change. Have there been any reports of Access not responding all of a sudden on a database that was working fine prior to the Windows updates installed on January 9th, 2024?
Access Error on File Import through VBA
We are running a custom VBA routine in Microsoft Access that imports and parses text files into a database. Starting around September 9th, some machines began showing an error dialog during this process. The dialog mentions a failure in the VBA Regular Expression engine. The error does not occur consistently. On the same machine, the import may succeed several times and then fail (roughly 1 out of 4 attempts). The behavior appears to vary depending on the input file. The VBA code itself has been unchanged for years and continues to function correctly on older builds. We are wondering if this is related to a recent update in Access or the VBA runtime. Has anyone else encountered this behavior, and are there known workarounds or fixes? Going to leave version numbers out of this post because it keeps getting deleted and I'm not sure why. This is my 4th or 5th attempt to write this post and it keep getting auto-moderated.Access Still Struggles on Data Import
More of a comment than anything else I have been a frequent flyer of Access since version 2.0. We used it almost daily for several years. I have since retired, and was away from it for a couple years now. However, due to a recent Office 365 account I started using again. One of the problems we had over the years with Access was on large data imports. This appears to be the same problem today as it was 30 years ago. Excel does not have this problem. Some of the same issues with Access "Does not recognize header name" Checking to insure header name was not a keyword and all rules were enforced, still did not allow the data to be imported. Since I needed to quickly turn around the information I had to link to an Excel file and run the queries. Pondering if MS has really done any improvments or serious upgrades with Access. I know programs cost resources to update. The other 3 Office apps have far more users than Access. I think Access is going to wither away within the next couple years. Was a great run when everything worked right. I have used a lot of different databases over the years. However, Access was the runt who was very user friendly and an awesome reports generator.
