Is the accde located in a trusted location (remember these are unique to the user).


Kelvin

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-04-28 at 04:15:34ID: 24249555

I try it on my computer were I always did and still it doesn't work

 

by: kelvinsparksPosted on 2009-04-28 at 04:18:35ID: 24249574

OK, so probably not that. Did you get any error when creating the accde? Have you done this before without problems?

Kelvin

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-04-28 at 04:31:51ID: 24249676

I didn't have any error
and I do it almost everyday successfuly,
another application on another dolder works fine,
I tried to import the appication to another new accdb but still, un  the accde the vba doesn't work

ehat can it be?

 

by: peter57rPosted on 2009-04-28 at 04:33:09ID: 24249686

Sounds a bit odd.

Can I confirm that you are definitely saying that if you put the accdb and the accde in the same folder on your machine, then the accdb file works ok but the accde doesn't?

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-04-28 at 04:38:32ID: 24249726

exectly

 

by: LSMConsultingPosted on 2009-04-28 at 04:41:07ID: 24249752

can you define what you mean by "doesn't work"?

does the accde actually open?

If it does, can you then open any forms?

If you can open forms, can you navigate records?

etc etc

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-04-28 at 04:44:15ID: 24249775

The accde is opened, the forms are opened but no code behind (vba) is executed, no evet (onopen, onclick...) is executed

 

by: peter57rPosted on 2009-04-29 at 00:16:45ID: 24257940

If you put the accde in an folder which is NOT trusted, do you get a dialog asking whether you want to allow the code to run, when you start the application by double clicking the file?

If so, and you say yes, does it work correctly?

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-04-29 at 22:43:51ID: 24267216

putting the accde in another folder didn't help.
My conclusion was that the file was corrupted and I restarted from the backup, it's the second time that this file is being corruped with no clear reson, have any idea why?
can it be it's size? 15,196kb..

thanks,  

 

by: kelvinsparksPosted on 2009-04-30 at 00:38:47ID: 24267664

Sounds like the Database "container" has corrupted.

Create a new blank database, then from a good copy that works, import all your objects (tables, queries forms......). Make sure you get any hidden and system objects that you have used.

Then try again. I haven't seen it with Access 2007 before, but have found that to be a problem in earlier versions.


Kelvin

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-04-30 at 01:36:11ID: 24267904

Thats what I already did, I hoped to be able to resolve the problem in the current copy but...
I see that many backups is a good solusion for many problems...

Thanks

 

by: kelvinsparksPosted on 2009-04-30 at 01:53:21ID: 24267958

CHances are that a form, report, code module corrupted, but finding which one can be a mission.If the code has corrupted, then it is backup time.


Kelvin

 

by: LSMConsultingPosted on 2009-04-30 at 03:04:24ID: 24268308

As Kelvin said, sometimes your container becomes corrupted, and there's nothing that can be done except swap containers, as Kelvin suggested. It's a common and accepted practice, and should be no cause for concern. Frequent backups are, of course, very important, especially if you are doing development work. Also, splitting the database into Backend (tables only) and Frontend (everything else) helps quite a bit, as forms and reports tend to corrupt much more easily than do tables, and with a single file setup you stand a much greater chance of data loss.

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-04-30 at 03:22:38ID: 24268387

Splitting the database is also something I always do for many resons including the one you said. If I could only know what was the corrupted part I could restore only it.
but I understand its not possible

 

by: kelvinsparksPosted on 2009-04-30 at 03:34:32ID: 24268433

Most likely, but not necessarily the case, it will be an object that you recently worked on.

Biggest problem is that after Access 97, all code is stored in one great big "blob", rather than with each individual object. If that goes... it's all gone (unless MS changed that with Access 2007).

You could try deleting and reimporting any suspicious objects, but in the long run I suspect you'll be faster recreating.

Kelvin

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-04-30 at 03:42:53ID: 24268475

I agree

Thanks allot

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-10-28 at 04:23:14ID: 25681965

thnak you very much

 

by: LSMConsultingPosted on 2009-10-28 at 05:19:51ID: 25682378

How did you resolve this issue? Did any Expert suggestions assist you in doing this?

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-10-28 at 06:03:12ID: 25682732

Yes, Master did help me suggesting the database was corrupted, thats what is was

 

by: LSMConsultingPosted on 2009-10-28 at 06:07:13ID: 25682763

My point is that if one or more of the Experts assisted you in resolving this, then you should award some or all of the points to those experts. If no one from EE assisted you, then you would of course just close this question. Also, your followup question "any idea why it corrupted" was also answered by both myself and Kelvin.

 

by: nuritatPosted on 2009-10-28 at 06:43:17ID: 25683107

Yes, you both helped me, how do I give you the points?
I did click the "Yes" on the "did this comment helped you", should I do anyrhing else?

 

by: LSMConsultingPosted on 2009-10-28 at 07:36:22ID: 25683679

No, that just marks a comment as "helpful". There are many ways to close a question; in this case, since you've already started the close process someone will have to Object to the closure, which will stop that proces. I'll do so, which will give you an opportunity to correctly close the question.

Here's a link that may help:
