- Microsoft Access Q&A
- --------------------
-
- The Microsoft Access version 1.1 Upgrade Help file includes
- answers for the most frequently asked questions about Microsoft
- Access. To view these, click Common Questions and Answers at
- the beginning of the "What's New in Microsoft Access Version
- 1.1" topic.
-
- -------------------------------------------------
- Using Microsoft Access with Microsoft LAN Manager
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- The following problem may occur when using products based
- on Microsoft LAN Manager versions prior to 2.2 on your
- MS-DOS or PC-DOS workstation.
-
- Using Microsoft Access on an MS-DOS or PC-DOS workstation
- running a product based on versions of Microsoft LAN Manager
- prior to version 2.2 can irreparably corrupt a database file.
- Database corruption is most likely to occur when a user
- workstation operates faster than the file server storing
- the database file. (Note that the CPU speed alone does not
- determine the operation speed of the server. Heavy network
- traffic can make the server operate more slowly than a user
- workstation(s).)
-
- Products that may be affected include:
-
- DEC Pathworks for DOS version 4.1
- Microsoft LAN Manager prior to version 2.2
- NCR StarGroup LAN Manager version 3.6
- Olivetti Olinet LAN Manager version 2.1
- Ungermann-Bass LAN Manager version 2.1
-
- See your network administrator to find out if the information
- in this section applies to your network software.
-
- To prevent data corruption when using the enhanced version
- of Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1 or 2.1a, your network
- administrator should install the Hotfix that is included
- on the ODBC disk.
-
- To determine your version of Microsoft LAN Manager:
-
- > Type net ver at the command prompt to determine which
- version of LAN Manager is installed on the user workstation.
- You will see information such as the following:
-
- C:\>NET VER
- Microsoft LAN Manager Version 2.1.0
- DOS Enhanced Workstation
- Created at 11-15-91 07:27am
-
- Proceed to the procedure, "To install the Hotfix on each
- user workstation," only if the command reports you are
- using Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1 or 2.1a.
-
- If the command does not report which version of Microsoft
- LAN Manager you are using, you are using a version earlier
- than 2.1. You need to upgrade the workstation to Microsoft LAN
- Manager version 2.2 or follow the procedure, "To adapt a
- workstation using a version of Microsoft LAN Manager prior to
- 2.1," at the end of this section.
-
- IMPORTANT: If you are using network software based on Microsoft
- LAN Manager and aren't sure which version of Microsoft LAN
- Manager it corresponds to, do not install the Hotfix. Instead,
- follow the procedure, "To adapt a workstation using a version
- of Microsoft LAN Manager prior to 2.1." You can install the
- Hotfix later if it's determined you need it.
-
- To install the Hotfix on each user workstation:
-
- 1 Type ver at the command prompt to determine which
- version of MS-DOS is installed on the user workstation.
-
- 2 Insert the ODBC disk in drive A.
-
- 3 Copy the appropriate NETWKSTA file on the ODBC Setup disk
- to the LAN Manager NETPROG directory and rename the file
- NETWKSTA.EXE. You should use the NETWKSTA.500 file for both
- MS-DOS version 5.0 and MS-DOS version 6.0. For example,
- if LAN Manager is currently installed in the LANMAN.DOS
- directory on drive C, and you are using MS-DOS version
- 5.0, type:
-
- copy a:netwksta.500 c:\lanman.dos\netprog\netwksta.exe
-
- If you are using MS-DOS version 3.3 or 4.0, you must contact
- Microsoft Product Support Services to request the appropriate
- NETWKSTA file. In the United States, call Microsoft LAN Manager
- Product Support Services at (206) 635-7020.
-
- 4 Reboot the user workstation.
-
- To adapt a workstation using a version of Microsoft LAN Manager
- earlier than 2.1:
-
- > To prevent database corruption when using versions of Microsoft
- LAN Manager earlier than version 2.1, turn write-behind off by
- adding or modifying the following line in the [workstation]
- section of your LANMAN.INI file:
-
- [workstation]
- wrkheuristics=X0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-
- NOTE: The Xs are placeholders for values in the range of 0-2.
- In all, there should be 33 values in this entry, and the second
- value must be 0 (zero). See your Microsoft LAN Manager
- Administrator's Reference for details.
-
- IMPORTANT: If this line already exists in your LANMAN.INI file,
- change only the second value to 0 (zero).
-
- Note that adding this line may slightly decrease the
- performance of your system.
-
- You can also resolve this problem by upgrading to LAN Manager
- version 2.2 or later. For details, please contact your network
- vendor or Microsoft Product Support at the numbers listed in your
- Microsoft Access User's Guide or in Microsoft Access Help. (From
- the Help menu, choose Contents, and then click Product Support.)
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Using Microsoft Access with Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- IMPORTANT: Read this topic before you use Microsoft Access
- with Microsoft Windows for Workgroups.
-
- While running Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, if you use the
- Network button in Microsoft Access dialog boxes to connect
- to a password-protected server, you may lose data. To avoid
- damaging your database, you must install the updated Microsoft
- Windows for Workgroups driver included with Microsoft Access.
- Until you have installed this driver, do not use the Network
- button in Microsoft Access dialog boxes to make network
- connections.
-
- NOTE: If you are considering installing Windows for Workgroups
- at a later date, install the updated driver now.
-
- To install the updated Windows for Workgroups driver:
-
- 1 Exit Microsoft Windows or Windows For Workgroups.
-
- This driver cannot be installed while you are running
- Microsoft Windows.
-
- 2 Insert the ODBC disk in drive A.
-
- 3 Type a: and then press the Enter key to switch to drive A.
-
- 4 Type wfwdrv if Windows is installed on your PC and is in the
- PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Otherwise, do one of
- the following:
-
- * If Windows is installed on your PC but is not in the
- PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT, type the path where
- Windows is installed. For example, type:
-
- wfwdrv c:\windows.
-
- * If Windows is installed on the network, specify the system
- directory where USER.EXE is found. For example, to install
- the driver in the Q:\SYSTEM directory, type:
-
- wfwdrv q:\system
-
- The Windows for Workgroups driver is installed.
-
- 5 Type win to restart Windows.
-
- If you have any questions about this driver, please contact
- Microsoft Product Support Services for Windows for Workgroups.
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------
- Additional Information on Setting Up Microsoft Access
- on a Network Server
- -----------------------------------------------------
-
- To set up Microsoft Access on a network server, you must run
- Setup /a from floppy disks. Do not copy the files to a hard
- disk and run Setup /a from there. Unless you run Setup /a
- from floppy disks, Microsoft Access won't be properly
- configured on the network server, and users won't be able to
- set up their workstations from the server using Setup /n.
-
- If you received Microsoft Access on a compact disc and want
- to set it up on a network server, you must copy the disk
- images to floppy disks and run Setup /a from the floppy disks.
- If you're setting up Microsoft Access on a local machine, you
- can run Setup directly from the compact disc.
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.1 Setup and Custom Tool Bars and AccessWizards
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- Microsoft Access version 1.1 includes updated UTILITY.MDA
- and WIZARD.MDA files. If you have modified either of these
- library databases -- by creating custom tool bars or adding
- custom AccessWizards, for example -- you should make backup
- copies of these files before installing Microsoft Access
- version 1.1. Then modify the version 1.1 copies of the files
- to include your changes.
-
-
- -----------------------------------------
- Running Multiple Data Access Applications
- -----------------------------------------
-
- Microsoft Access, Microsoft Access custom applications,
- Microsoft Visual Basic version 3.0, and Visual Basic custom
- applications all use the same database engine to perform
- their database-related operations. If one or more of these
- are running simultaneously, you must be sure that all
- sections and entries from the initialization (.INI) file
- that are used for data manipulation (the entries in the
- [Installable ISAMs], [Paradox ISAM], and [dBASE ISAM]
- sections) are included in the initialization file for each
- application. This ensures that you can use data in other
- formats or applications, such as FoxPro, dBASE, or Paradox.
-
- If two or more applications that use the database engine
- are running simultaneously, the engine is initialized to
- the .INI file settings of the application that was
- started first.
-
- If the entries in the three data manipulation sections are
- not included in the .INI file of the first application that
- starts the database engine, then no application that uses
- the engine will be able to use FoxPro, dBASE, or Paradox
- data while the first application is running.
-
- For example, when you start Microsoft Access, it initializes
- the database engine according to the settings in the
- MSACCESS.INI file. If you then start Visual Basic version 3.0
- while Microsoft Access is still running, the database engine
- will use the MSACCESS.INI file settings rather than the
- settings in the Visual Basic initialization file.
-
- The list below shows where each application looks for its
- initialization information:
-
- Application .INI file
- ----------- ---------
- Microsoft Access MSACCESS.INI
- Microsoft Access application <APPNAME>.INI
- Visual Basic at design time VB.INI
- Visual Basic at run time VB.INI
- Visual Basic .EXE application <APPNAME>.INI
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------
- Using SQL Server Data Installed on a Novell NetWare LAN
- or a Banyan Network
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you use Microsoft Access on a workstation running under
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups and want to access SQL
- Server data installed on a Novell NetWare LAN or a Banyan
- network, you must use the SQL Server Network Integration Kit
- (NIK). For details, see your Network Integration Kit and
- SQL Server documentation. If you still have questions,
- contact Microsoft Product Support at one of the numbers
- listed in the Microsoft Access User's Guide or in Microsoft
- Access Help. (From the Help menu, choose Contents, and then
- click Product Support.)
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------
- Using Microsoft Access to Import, Attach, or Export to
- Microsoft FoxPro Version 2.5 Files
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- FoxPro version 2.5 doesn't distinguish between tables
- created with the MS-DOS version and those created with the
- Microsoft Windows version. Data in tables created with FoxPro
- version 2.5 for MS-DOS is stored in OEM format. Data in tables
- created with FoxPro version 2.5 for Windows is stored in ANSI
- format. Microsoft Access converts all FoxPro version 2.5 data
- from an OEM code page to the ANSI 1252 code page when importing
- or attaching FoxPro 2.5 data, and it converts the ANSI code
- page to an OEM code page when exporting to FoxPro 2.5 tables.
- The result is that extended characters in tables created with
- FoxPro version 2.5 for Windows aren't converted properly.
-
- If your FoxPro version 2.5 tables contain extended characters,
- you should be certain that the tables are stored in OEM format
- (that is, created by FoxPro version 2.5 for MS-DOS). FoxPro
- version 2.5a will be able to identify the code page format of
- the data, enabling Microsoft Access to correctly determine how
- to convert extended characters. For information on FoxPro version
- 2.5a, please contact Microsoft End-User Sales at (800) 426-9400.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------
- Setting ODBC Options in the MSACCESS.INI File
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- The following table lists all the valid entries applying
- to ODBC that can appear in the Microsoft Access initialization
- file, MSACCESS.INI. They appear in the [Debug] and [ODBC]
- sections.
-
- Entry Value Effect
- ------- ----- ------
- Section: [Debug]
- RmtTrace 0 Use asynchronous query execution
- if possible; no ODBC API tracing
- (default).
- 8 Trace ODBC API calls in ODBCAPI.TXT
- in the Microsoft Access directory.
- 16 Force synchronous query execution.
- 24 Trace ODBC API calls; force
- asynchronous query execution.
- Section: [ODBC]
- TraceSQLMode 0 No tracing of SQL queries (default).
- 1 Trace SQL queries sent to ODBC in
- SQLOUT.TXT in the Microsoft Access
- directory.
- QueryTimeout S Wait S seconds for queries sent to
- ODBC, and then stop trying to process
- the query results (for asynchronous
- queries only). (Default: 60 seconds).
- LoginTimeout S Wait S seconds for ODBC login response,
- and then stop trying to connect to a
- server. (Default: 20 seconds).
- ConnectionTimeout S Wait S seconds, and then close idle
- ODBC connections. (Default: 600
- seconds).
- AsyncRetryInterval M Retry asynchronous queries every M
- milliseconds. (Default: 500
- milliseconds).
- AttachCaseSensitive 0 Attach the first table whose name
- matches the specified string, regardless
- of case.
- 1 Attach a table only if its name exactly
- matches the specified string.
- AttachableObjects string A list of object types you can attach.
- (Default: 'TABLE','VIEW','SYSTEM TABLE',
- 'ALIAS', 'SYNONYM'.)
- SnapshotOnly 0 Get index information when tables are
- attached so that dynasets are allowed
- (default).
- 1 Ignore index information when tables
- are attached so that only snapshots
- are allowed.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------
- Installing the ODBC Stored Procedures (INSTCAT.SQL)
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- Microsoft Access version 1.1 contains a new version of the
- ODBC stored procedures (found in the INSTCAT.SQL file),
- which must be installed on a SQL Server before you can
- access data from that server. However, the INSTCAT.SQL file
- that comes with version 1.1 can't be used with version 1.0 of
- Microsoft Access. If you have Microsoft Access version 1.0 and
- attempt to attach a table from a database on a SQL Server where
- version 1.1 of the ODBC stored procedures have been installed,
- you will see this error message:
-
- "'<ownername>.<tablename>' isn't a valid name."
-
- To fix this problem, you should update all of the computers
- on your network to version 1.1 of Microsoft Access and
- install version 1.1 of INSTCAT.SQL on your SQL Servers.
-
- If you have Sybase SQL Server databases, you MUST upgrade
- all users to Microsoft Access 1.1 and use the version 1.1
- INSTCAT.SQL, which contains fixes that are required for
- Sybase SQL Server databases. If you have Microsoft SQL
- Server databases and have a mixture of Microsoft Access 1.0
- and 1.1 installations, you can use the version 1.0
- INSTCAT.SQL until all users are upgraded to Microsoft Access
- version 1.1.
-
- The version 1.1 INSTCAT.SQL file is also included with
- Microsoft Visual Basic version 3.0. If you are using this
- version of Visual Basic and want to access SQL Server
- databases from both Visual Basic and Microsoft Access, you
- should either update all of your users to Microsoft Access
- version 1.1 or use the version 1.0 INSTCAT.SQL instead of
- the version supplied with Visual Basic. Visual Basic version
- 3.0 will work correctly with the version 1.0 INSTCAT.SQL,
- except that it will be unable to delete indexes from tables.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------
- Asynchronous Query Execution and ODBC Drivers
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- When executing queries against Open Database Connectivity
- (ODBC) data sources, Microsoft Access will attempt, if
- supported by the ODBC driver, to execute the query
- asynchronously. The client-server network libraries
- supported by some ODBC drivers may experience difficulties
- while executing queries asynchronously. If you encounter
- problems with query execution, you can disable asynchronous
- execution by adding the following entry to the [Debug]
- section of your MSACCESS.INI file:
- RmtTrace=16
-
-
- ------------------------------
- ORACLE Server and Null Indexes
- ------------------------------
-
- Some databases, such as ORACLE Server databases, allow
- multiple Null primary keys in an index, although the index
- is still considered unique. Microsoft Access can't modify
- records that have multiple occurrences of the same unique
- (Null) value, although it can modify other records in the
- table.
-
- If you want to modify records in such a database, make sure
- that each record has a unique primary key and that no more
- than one of these is Null.
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Using Microsoft Access on Novell NetWare Servers and Banyan
- VINES Servers (Increasing the Number of Record Locks)
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- On Novell NetWare Servers:
-
- If you are attempting to use large Microsoft Access
- databases on a Novell NetWare server, set the "maximum
- record locks per connection" to the largest allowable
- value (10,000). The execution of large bulk operations
- in Microsoft Access (such as a large update query) can
- cause the server to run out of record lock connections.
- If you don't set the number of record locks to the maximum
- value while using Microsoft Access, it could result in
- the loss of data due to a server crash.
-
- See your Novell NetWare documentation for a description of
- how to set the number of record locks.
-
- On Banyan VINES Servers:
-
- If you are attempting to use large Microsoft Access
- databases on a Banyan VINES server, you may exceed the
- number of record locks allowed. (Note that the number of
- record locks is not user-definable for Banyan VINES
- servers.)
-
- Banyan VINES version 4.11 allows a maximum of 500 record
- locks. It is conceivable that a large Microsoft Access bulk
- operation would require that many record locks. Banyan VINES
- version 5.00 allows only 100 record locks, which would
- severely limit Microsoft Access use. Banyan VINES version
- 5.5 allows at least 10,000 record locks.
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
- Setting Up Microsoft Access with a Microsoft License Pak
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- The first time you install Microsoft Access using the
- Microsoft License Pak, Setup stores the company name but
- not the user name. Setup customizes the user name for each
- installation.
-
- To install Microsoft Access using the Microsoft License
- Pak:
-
- 1 In the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File
- menu.
- 2 In the Command Line box, type <path> setup /l where
- <path> is the directory in which the Microsoft Access
- program files are stored. (Note that l is the letter l,
- not the number one).
- For example, if your Microsoft Access files are on
- drive C in a directory called ACCESS, you'd type
- c:\access\setup /l in this box.
-
- ---------------------
- Enhancing Performance
- ---------------------
-
- For information on increasing the buffer space, read the
- PERFORM.TXT file in your Microsoft Access directory. This
- file also desribes other ways of tuning Microsoft Access
- to get the best performance.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------
- Installing International Versions of Cue Cards
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- You will not be able to use Cue Cards if you install it in a
- directory whose name contains a ligature, such as the characters
- ▀ and µ. To resolve this problem, delete all the Microsoft
- Access files and remove the directory. Then rerun Microsoft
- Access Setup.
-
-
- -------------------------
- Using Sample Applications
- -------------------------
-
- In addition to the Northwind Traders database (NWIND.MDB),
- which is used in examples throughout the Microsoft Access
- documentation, you can install two sample applications:
- Personal Information Manager (PIM.MDB) and Order Entry
- (ORDENTRY.MDB). These are just two examples of the types
- of applications you can create with Microsoft Access. You
- can use them as a learning tool for creating your own
- applications -- and perhaps in your daily work and business
- as well.
-
- If you chose the Complete Installation option when you
- installed Microsoft Access, the Setup program installed the
- sample application files. If you made a different choice or
- if you have removed the files, you can install them by running
- Setup again, choosing Custom Installation, and selecting
- Sample files. Setup installs the files in the program directory.
-
- General information and instructions on using each application
- are available online for the Personal Information Manager and
- Order Entry applications. To use this information, start
- Microsoft Access and open the database file for the
- application. Then press F1 or choose Contents from the Help
- menu.
-
- NOTE: The Personal Information Manager and Order Entry
- applications are designed to be run on a VGA or SVGA monitor
- only.
-
-
- ----------------------------
- Analyzing Database Structure
- ----------------------------
-
- When you develop a new database or modify an existing one, you'll
- probably want detailed information about its structure. Microsoft
- Product Support Services provides an informal diagnostic tool for
- this purpose called the Database Analyzer. Using this tool, you
- can display or print tables listing the structural features of
- many of the objects in a database. For information on installing
- and using the Database Analyzer, read the answer to Question 23
- in the text file PSSKB.TXT in your Microsoft Access program
- directory.
-
-
- -------------------------------------------
- Solving Problems Printing Forms and Reports
- -------------------------------------------
-
- Microsoft Access forms or reports, because of a driver problem,
- may not print correctly on an HP LaserJet IIISi printer using
- non-TrueType fonts. For best results, use TrueType fonts with
- this printer.
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------
- Updated SQL Pass Through DLL and Data Definition
- Language DLL
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- The SQL Pass Through DLL and Data Definition Language DLL
- have been updated for Microsoft Access version 1.1. If you
- are currently using version 1.0 of either of these DLLs
- (SPT.DLL or MSADDL10.DLL), you must upgrade to the version
- 1.1 DLLs (MSASP110.DLL and MSADDL11.DLL). You can download
- the version 1.1 DLLs from the MSACCESS forum on CompuServe.
- Support for these DLLs is provided on CompuServe only.
-
- --------------------
- Available Disk Space
- --------------------
-
- The DBLSPACE utility supplied with MS-DOS version 6.0
- (as well as other similar disk compression utilities)
- enables you to set a compression ratio, which affects
- the amount of disk space that commands like the MS-DOS
- command DIR report as available. For example, if you have
- 5 megabytes of actual disk space, but you've set the
- compression ratio to 20:1, DIR will report that you have
- 100 MB of free space. You can use the compression ratio
- to approximate the amount of room you have for compressed
- files on your hard disk.
-
- However, different kinds of files actually compress at
- different ratios. For example, the Microsoft Access .EXE
- file, Help files, and DLLs compress at a ratio closer to
- 1.5:1. Although DIR may report that you have enough disk
- space to install Microsoft Access, there might not be
- enough room to fully install all the Microsoft Access files.
-
- If you run out of disk space when installing Microsoft
- Access, you can free disk space by deleting unnecessary files.
-
- You may also want to adjust your compression ratio if you
- find you are running out of disk space when DIR tells you
- that you have enough.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------
- Using DECOMP.EXE to Decompress Microsoft Access Files
- -----------------------------------------------------
-
- Microsoft Access includes a decompression utility,
- DECOMP.EXE. You can use DECOMP.EXE to decompress files
- without running Setup. This allows you to install
- individual Microsoft Access files. DECOMP.EXE uses the
- following syntax:
-
- DECOMP [/A /F /Q] <source> [<destination>]
-
- The <source> argument specifies the file or files to be
- decompressed; it can be a file name or a wildcard pattern.
- The <destination> argument is the name of the decompressed
- file or directory.
-
- The following table summarizes the decompression utility
- command-line options.
-
- Option Description
- ------ -----------
- /A Appends the decompressed version of the source
- file to the file specified by <destination>.
- /F Forces overwriting of the file specified by
- <destination>.
- /Q Calculates the size of the uncompressed file
- (no output).
-
-
- --------------------------
- Outdated Version 1.0 Files
- --------------------------
-
- The Microsoft Access Setup program for the version 1.1
- upgrade installs the version 1.1 files and at the same time
- deletes or replaces outdated version 1.0 files.
-
- The following files are no longer used by Microsoft Access,
- and are deleted by Setup:
-
- BTRVISAM.DLL
- DBSISAM.DLL
- MSABC100.DLL
- MSAES100.DLL
- MSAIN100.DLL
- MSAJU100.DLL
- MSAJT100.DLL
- PDXISAM.DLL
- README_.TXT (deleted only if you start Setup by typing
- setup /a)
-
- For a complete list of the version 1.1 files, see the
- "Microsoft Access Files" section in this README file.
