APPEND QUERY RUNS ON ITS OWN BUT NOT IN A MACRO
in [Tables]

From: ALLAN_ASHFORD via AccessMonster.com on 15 Dec 2009 17:20 Hi Gina You sure can have a look at the "bad" database. As a Zip file it's c. 9 MB and its back-end c. 17 MB. I can log on remotely and transfer the zip files or you can log on to me and do the same. The back-end is installed on a drive mapping of E:\ACCESS, so to use this will save you having to relink the tables. Also there are ODBC links to Sage Line50 Accounts, but these are not used in the problem area, although the AUTOEXEC macro will fail to run properly. I can give you further pointers as to where the macro runs from as and when. Let me know how you want to handle it. My e-mail is allannoble(a)btconnect.com, my mobile +44 777 556 5340.

From: Gina Whipp on 16 Dec 2009 11:31 Allan, I looked at evey query attached to that macro, ummm and there were alot, and I see no reason why they would fail. I am now as stumped as you are. There are no issues, nothing. The only thing I can think of is if they are running at the same time then the second one gets stuck because the first one has *frozen* the process and the second one can't get access to it until it's done. But even that would be odd unless they are updating the same data at the same time. As a side note... Your field names, in some cases, use Reserved Words and this will cause issues, especially should you upgrade to Access 2007 where it really has a fit.

From: AccessVandal via AccessMonster.com on 20 Dec 2009 21:02 Gina, I notice the macros OpenQuery "View = Datasheet" and "Data Mode = Edit". Are these necessary? It's already in datasheet. Not all joint query is Editable. As far as I know, if you open the Append (Action Query) in DataSheet View, the Append query will not modify the records, it will only show the data of the records of the Append query. Try to remove these, see if it works. Gina Whipp wrote: >Allan, > >I looked at evey query attached to that macro, ummm and there were alot, and >I see no reason why they would fail.

From: Gina Whipp on 20 Dec 2009 22:38 AccessVandal, In the macro yes those settings are required and the other options are not an option. The subject line is kind of deciptive because those queries he is referring to are actually, make table and update queries. Oddly, enough the macro runs in one database FE/BE set-up but not the other. He sent me a copy of the database and I was looking for some reference to a table or query that existed in the one database but not the other and after reviewing MANY queries, found one. So now I am as stumped as he is. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "AccessVandal via AccessMonster.com" <u18947(a)uwe> wrote in message news:a0e5bd16150f5(a)uwe... > Gina, > > I notice the macros OpenQuery "View = Datasheet" and "Data Mode = Edit". > Are > these necessary?

Maybe no longer stumped!! The table that I was trying to append the data to was, as you know, copied over from the fully functional database. As such it did contain well over 100, 000 redundant records. So I deleted the lot, did a repair & compact and hey presto everything appears to be OK. Only problem now is - trying to remember what I was trying to do when the problem hit!! Many thanks for all the input - have a great Xmas.
