MS Access JDBC Driver -- Connecting MS Access with Java
To connect Java with MS Access, you need a JDBC driver. Although Microsoft do not produce a JDBC driver for MS Access, you can use the Easysoft JDBC-ODBC Bridge as a MS Access JDBC driver. Use the JDBC-ODBC Bridge to provide the connectivity layer between your Java code and MS Access database. The MS Access database can be on the same machine as your Java or a remote machine.

Can't open SOME reports in Access
In Access 03, I tried printing some reports this morning but when I clicked on one of them...nothing happened. I tried to open the report in Design View, but that didn't do anything either. I found that about half of my reports can't be opened on my machine. I went to another guy's computer and was able to open my reports so I don't think the dbase is corrupt. Could security issues be at play here? I checked my macro security level and it is set to low. I was just in this dbase a few days ago to print all of these reports and had no problems from my own machine. I don't recall making any changes in Access, but something is causing this problem.

Need Access Help
Can anyone help me with 2 questions? I taught myself Microsoft access and can't figure 2 things out... 1. How can I make the startup screen of access be maximized at the beginning? (When I start it up it goes thru the process of a regular access project. I don't want to see the tool bar or anything. I would like the screen to take up the whole area instead.) 2. How can I make it so another users use it if they don't have access on their computer?

Question?
I have a question for all you ms access db gurus. I have an asp.net (C#) application that uses an ms access database. Everything works great. I have one problem; my customer needs to download the database periodically and that works too. However, there is one table in the database that I don't want my customer to have. On my local machine, I can link to that table and all works fine (it is a user table that stores names, passwords etc.). But, when I do the same thing on the server, so the linked table won't be included in the download no one can login to the website. Any thoughts on why this would work on my local machine and not on the server? Any help would be appreciated.

Report snapshots and Snapshot Viewer
If you regularly print, photocopy, and mail Access reports to users inside and even outside of your organization, you may want an alternative for distributing these reports that will be more cost-effective. You might prefer to send reports in e-mail or post them to a Web site for quick and easy access. Further, you may want your users to view these reports in an enhanced format, including color, fonts, charts, and other embedded objects. Finally, you may want all this without your users' needing a full or run-time Access license to view and print Access reports. The combination of creating report snapshots and having your users view them with the Snapshot Viewer should fit all these needs.

When I go to open .mdb it gives and error then installs
I have Office XP installed and all apps within it work just fine when I open them except Access. When I try to open Access with a shortcut on my desktop, I get and error that says "Windows cannot find the file...". Behind that message, another opens that says "Preparing to Install... please wait while Windows configures Office XP Professional" If I go to the folder called C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10 and click on the MSACCESS.EXE file itself, there is no error, but it does the install part. Word and Excel start perfectly without this issue. I tried using the cd to repair the installation, but this had no effect.

Frequently asked questions about Access security warnings
Why does Access display these security warnings? Why does the message "Security Warning: Unsafe expressions are not blocked" appear when I open a file in Access? I have installed the Microsoft Jet service pack. Now when I restart Access and open a file, I see another message that asks me if I want to block unsafe expressions. Why? I enabled sandbox mode, but now it looks as if my application is not working properly. Why? Is enabling sandbox mode the only way to hide this message? What if I don't want to enable sandbox mode? In addition to blocking harmful functions and properties, Access blocks the harmless CurDir and Environ functions in sandbox mode. Access also blocks all the custom properties of ActiveX controls in sandbox mode. Why? I have installed the Jet service pack and clicked Yes when prompted to block unsafe expressions. Now I see the "This file may not be safe" or the "Cannot open file due to security restrictions" warning. Why do these messages still appear? Why does the "This file may not be safe" message appear when I open my file in Access? I see a message that says "Access cannot open the file due to security restrictions. Security settings restrict access to the file because it is not digitally signed." Why? When I open a file, I see the message "This publisher has not been authenticated and therefore could be imitated. Do not trust these credentials." Why? When I open a file, I see the message "This file has been digitally signed by (publisher). The file may not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer." Why? Often, when I view or change the macro security level, Access prompts me about enabling sandbox mode. Why? My users are complaining about the warnings that appear each time they open one of my databases. Some users cannot even open the database. Why can't I turn off these messages for them? At the High macro security level, I can't open my own databases. At the Medium security level, I can't open my own databases without seeing the "This file not be safe" warning each time I open them. Why? I created this database and wrote some code. But the code does not do anything malicious. Then, why warn me every time? My system is very secure. My computer is not part of a network, and I alone use my databases. Is it okay if I set the macro security level to Low in Access to avoid these messages? Should I set the macro security level in Access to High or Medium? What difference does it make when I open a file? Do I have to buy a certificate to prevent the "This file may not be safe" warning from appearing?

Splash Screens in Microsoft Access
When Microsoft Access opens, the first object that opens up by default is the database window. Most of the time you would not like to give your users access the this window, so you can hide this and display your own form or switchboard. To enable you to show your own Microsoft Access form when the database opens you should create an unbound form and use the Access Start Up options to set this form to open up whenever the database is started.

Process SQL on a database server by using a pass-through query
You can use Microsoft Office Access 2007 as a tool in which to create and modify a database and work with its data, but you can also use Office Access 2007 as a front end (interface) for a server database management system, such as Microsoft SQL Server. Generally, when you use Office Access 2007 as a front end application, you link to tables that are in the server database management system, and then use those linked tables as if they were located in the Access database. The Structured Query Language (SQL) processing is performed on your local machine by Access.

Access XP Crashes at Query Run
I have Microsoft Office XP SP3 installed on an Windows 2000 Pro PC. It works great except for when I'm attempting to run one query in Access XP. This is a query that is based on imported data from Excel 2000. The query was also built from Access 2000 (Office XP is a new upgrade for this PC). The query works fine from PCs running Access 2000, but causes Access XP to crash with no warning. (the application just closes completely and gives no error message) Can anyone provide information on this problem? Is there an application log I can check? Again, other queries work fine but this query crashes the whole app. Thanks in advance for your help!

Using Jet Data Access Objects (VB6)
Lets start by clearing up a common point of confusion regarding Access and Jet. Jet is a database engine. It handles the i/o to the database and provides programmable objects representing the database. Access is an application which can be used to build databases. While both share the same Jet database engine, when you are working with databases in Visual Basic, you are working with Jet, not Access.
