Lost Database in Microsoft Access 2010 - ms-access

While "finishing off" my database, I chose options from the file menu.
File Menu -> options -> Current database -> Application Options -> Display Form: field.
Upon hitting OK, Access immediately shut down and now just gives me the "Access has stopped working" message when trying to open the database.
Can I get my database back? How?

A good place to start would be, as Gord Thompson has suggested, try and hold the SHIFT key to bypass the startup form.
However this scenario suggests that the code might be corrupted. Sometimes, when you copy a file to a new location, the content of the file is disabled. So this could make the file in an openable state, where you would be able to Compact and Repair.
If this did not work (copying the file to a new location), then the other option is to Decompile your file. So in the file location of copy you just made; create a shortcut. With the following as the Location of the item
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\PathToYourFile\YourFileName.accdb" /decompile
'Make sure the first path is the path where MSACCESS is installed.
'I have it in Program Files (x86).......
Then double click the Shortcut, you should (hopefully) have your file back up and running.

Console command for opening files inside already opened project in PhpStorm

I've faced the problem. I use PhpStorm to edit files from FTP server using WinSCP client. In WinSCP client I've set command for using external editor. So, when I try to open php-file from remote FTP server WinSCP downloads this file in temporary file and open it using command provided by me - "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PhpStorm 2020.1.1\bin\phpstorm64.exe" "!.!"
Earlier, when I used PhpStorm 2019 or 2018, it opened file in already opened window/project. But when I've upgraded to PhpStorm 2020, it started to open file from FTP in separate windows. It's so annoying and some functionality doesn't work in such case (auto suggestions and others).
I know that I can use built-in remote files browser within PhpStorm to view and edit remote files, but I accustomed to use separate FTP client for such purposes.
Does somebody know how to fix this problem? What console command should I use so as to open separate file in already opened window/project?
It's a LightEdit mode: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2020/04/lightedit-mode/
Since 2020.2 you can use the -p (--project) option instead to force opening files in already opened project windows. For example idea -p myfile.txt. IDEA-237118
You can also permanently disable that mode by following these steps:
Invoke Help | Find Action... (or via Search Anywhere: use Double Shift and switch to Actions tab)
Search for Registry... action and select it
Once in the Registry dialog locate light.edit.file.open.enabled entry (just start typing, speed search will narrow it down) and set it to false (uncheck the box).
Not sure if IDE restart is needed (probably not).

mySQL installer - access to path is denied

I'm trying to install mySQL 5.7.7, but on the 'Apply Server Configuartion' page the 'writing configuration file' fails and the log gives the error as:
'Could't find path 'C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini'
So then I manually added the folder and got this error:
'Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini' is denied.'
Following advice online I've given 'Everyone' full-access to mySQL plus all files in the path, but I still keep getting the same error.
Any ideas? Much appreciated, thanks
Maybe your my.ini file is not where it should be. To figure out exactly what his location is:
Open the Task Manager, go to the Services tab and then hit the Services button.
Search in the list for the service called 'MySQL56'. Right click on it, and hit Properties.
In the General tab, look for "Path to executable". After --defaults-file= you should see the exact path of the file my.ini.
If the file is in the folder you specified but you still can't access it, maybe you should try to reinstall.

Saving in SFTP like its a normal folder

So I was using sublime-text 2 to modify some php files held on a remote server. I used nautilus sftp://... address to server to open up the folder then clicked on the files and pressed open with sublime text. Whenever I did this it automatically saved the changes on the server. For various annoying reasons I had to restore the machine to factory settings. Now whenever I try to open up the files in the way I use to be able to it just opens a blank file titled sftp in my /user/dev directory. Is there anything I need to do to get it back to the way it used to be?
Not sure anyone else has ever experienced this behavior but I never replicated the nautilus effect that I had originally. The best alternative I found was sublime sftp.
Installed by sublime package control:
https://sublime.wbond.net/installation
Then install sublime sftp:
http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp
I was a student coding in php for a class so I was only using it temporarily and never paid for the license. Probably should do that if you are gonna be using it long term.

open access file from command line - cover all versions

I have some trouble opening access file from command line.
start "FullPath\Database.mdb" - does nothing
start "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE14\MSACCESS.EXE" "FullPath\Database.mdb"
Opens the file normally
But different computers can have different versions of office, how can i cover all corners here?
If Access is installed, it usually ensures that the msaccess executable is available in the system path. Try it right now: hit Win-R, type msaccess, then press Enter.
So you can leave out the folder path in your command to start Access, and it should work on any computer where Access is properly installed.

What is the 'Query' MySQL data file used for?

I am having some real difficulties finding out exactly what a certain file in the MySQL data directory is used for. (Using Google with its file name is pointless!)
Basically, I need to create some space on the drive that hosts all MySQL data and have noticed a file almost 16GB in size!!
I cant see any reference to a Query file in my config file nor can I match its size up to that of any log files, etc (in case its a log file missing the .log extension). I'm totally stumped!
I would like to know what this file is and how to reduce its size if at all possible?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
That could be the general query log (I said "could" because the name can be configured by yourself). Look in your my.ini for an entry
log=/path/to/query
Or start the MySQL Administrator, goto "Startup Variables->Log Files" and look for "Query Logfile"
That file is completely unnessasary for your server to run (if you confirmed that the entry log=... exists in your config.
It is just good for debugging.
Try stopping your mysql server, delete it and restart your server again. The file will be recreated.
I also noticed that the slow-query-log ("diamond-slow-log") is large, too.
That file only logs queries that take longer than x seconds (2 by default). That file can be deleted or deactivated, too. But I would keep it since it contains queries that could easily be optimized with an extra index.
Update
there is another way, to confirm that this is the general query log.
Download a windows port of the tail unix command. E.g. this one http://tailforwin32.sourceforge.net/
I often use this on my dev machine to see what is goning on.
Open a shell (cmd.exe) and navigate the folder where that file exists.
Then type
tail -f query
That will print the last few lines of the file and if the file changes every new line.
So if you do a SELECT * FROM table you should see the query in the console output.
