I'm developing an application that will be used by a field of remote users eventually, I have a parameter query setup in a class module that I want to test, however it is looking for the connection criteria.

Each user with the codes or with a shortcut of the codes?

configuration or a different problem?
To Access Heros, I deployed my new database this week complete with Access security, with the assistance of this user group. My problem is this: I assigned permissions in Access by group and not users. However, some of the users are having problems. 1) The user gets a "Report Action Cancelled" message when clicking on a button that opens that report. The user(s) is able to open the fo...

Struggling to enable more than one user
Hi, I've been struggling to get a db usable by more then one person. My last post on another Access ng is as follows: Does the database really have to be split? I only want two users to have simultaneous use.

Can't open already open MDB files
Over the weekend one of our servers was replaced. The files were copied from the old to the new. The same drive letter, e.g. Q drive, for mapping was used but the name of the server was changed. Initially there were no problems for Access database users. On Wednesday several problems began to appear. Some users have no problems opening and sharing the same database. Others cannot open...

Split databases and ADO Cursors
I've read that OLE DB is the best connection technology when working on a slow/unstable network because it is thread safe. I've also read that only ADO supports OLE DB, so I'm limiting myself to JET OLE DB and ADO. I'm having trouble understanding which cursors to use when developing for a split/file server environment (a local mdb linked to a remote mdb on a network share). Does a split...

Windows Installer appears ALL the time.
I have no idea what Discussion Group to post this under, but since I'm an Access Developer I figured I'd start here. I'm new to this. After un-installing Visio 2003 from my PC the Windows Installer dialog now appears every time I start a new application. The Windows Installer Dialog does nothing but hang up my machine and thus I must cancel it three times before my application loads. ...

Each user is running a local frontend that connects to a backend MDB that resides on a Win 2003 server. I've restored the database from a cop...
