I cannot see design view for forms or tables in the Services template ms access 2010.
In access options/options/current database/ the check boxes (enable layout view & enable design changes for tables in Datasheet view) are both greyed out.
My question is. How can I get into the tables in design mode?
have any idea ?
Any web objects do not have a Design View. Layout view should still be accessible, though, for forms and reports. Web objects are indicated by a globe in the icon representation of the object.
For web tables, you can only change the design in the datasheet view. Go to the last column in the datasheet view to add a new column. That's the only way to change stuff around in web tables.
I do hope that helps!
Have you copied the template to a suitable location after download and chosen Unblock from Right-Click->Properties? You can also check that the file is not read-only due to other causes.
Have you tried the old shift/open deal? Hold down the shift key, double click the file and keep holding shift until the file is completely opened.
Genius

If it doesn't have to be a "Web Database" there is a way.
Create a standard Blank database.
Right click each object (Table, Query, Report) and select Export to Access
Point it to your Blank database created in Step 1.
A. You'll have the option to export the table definition with or without the data.
I admit, it is a little tedious, and possibly could be scripted to make it easier for a lot of objects. I had a small number of objects so it only took about 15 minutes.
You can also create a new blank database and import all of the tables, queries reports etc from the old database. This is a lot faster and does the job.
If it's a Web Database:
1. The tables can be viewed in design view only by exporting to a standard access Database - or creating a standard database and importing all the tables (and relationships) in one hit.
2. The other objects (macros, forms, reports, queries) can't really be exported or imported as stated by Bobort earlier. The 'web view' doesn't allow design view (forms & reports) or sql view (queries) so it is quite restricting.

I have a MS Access 2013 file that I am using. There are two possibly related concerns. For some context, this is an MS Access 2013 file with some forms and some tables and a bit of VBA for the logic of how those two interact. For versioning, the file has been copied and pasted with a datestamp on it for the newer version.
The first concern is that all the file sizes for the various files is exactly the same, even though data has been added and some changes to the forms were made.
The second concern is that when I right click on a table and go to table properties, it says "Shortcut to Table (Local): table_name" where table_name is the name of the table. It appears that this is a shortcut to a table somewhere, but I'm not sure where. The forms are also shortcuts to forms, but I don't see the destination form in my file anywhere, even after unhiding system objects. My questions regarding this are: how did this happen (I was assuming it had something to do with the fact that I copied and pasted the file) and where is the file that these are a shortcut to?
Everything seems to work fine, but I'm concerned that if one of the legacy files gets removed that I might lose some data. Is my data being stored within this file, or did it get split somehow and the data is being stored in a different file somewhere? I just want to have a better grasp of what exactly is going on.
I feel like I have a good handle on the SQL and a pretty good grasp of the VBA, but the MS Access specific nuances are something I'm still gaining familiarity with.
Well, it seems it was as simple as changing the view in your navigation pane to something else than custom!
I am using a software powered by SugarCRM. The reports I show are not very good so I decided to user Pentaho BI Suite. I already made all the business analitycs stuff (cubes, reports, saiku report, etc..), but I am having an issue, in SugarCRM database, the label's values of some dropdownlist (for example), are not storaged. Instead they are written in a .JS file y the sugar directory called sp_ve.js like this :
SUGAR.language.SetLanguage('app_string',[JSON OBJECT WITH THE LABELS VALUES]) ;
SUGAR.language.SetLanguage('app_list_strings',[JSON OBJECT WITH LABEL VALUES]);
Now, is there any way to insert those objects into tables, so I can use it in my OLAP solution in pentaho?, HOW? . If yes, how can I make this process work automatically, every time my users add new labels.
First of all, all the dropdowns, text labels, etc. actually stored in <lang_key>.lang.php files under <sugar_root>/include/language/ and <sugar_root>/custom/include/language/ directories. And only then those labels become accessible with JavaScript used in SugarCRM UI. See this page for more information.
For similar situation of preparing SugarCRM database for analyzing with Tableau Desktop Professional I decided to use the following approach.
At the beginning all the dictionaries/mappings needed in files mentioned above were extracted into separate CSV files. You can do it with text editor of your choice using find/replace. Then those CSV files were imported into SugarCRM database as new tables - one table for each list. After that I used database view to join "data" table with "label map" table and used that view as a source for my analytical needs. Yes, it's not so elegant and dynamic solution. Moreover it needs a little hand work. But it solves the issue.
I split my DB and now when I try to change some information on a few queries, I can't access them. I have a front end and a back end and understand that I should make changes to queries/forms via the front end, but they are grayed out and inaccessible.
At this point, I tried unsplitting the DB (which I believe I did), but I still can't edit those queries or forms.
I can click on the query/form and see the result of it, but I can't get to design view to edit it.
I'm taking a shot in the dark and saying that in the process of splitting your database, you either created your front-end in an accdr or accde format (a runtime application). The purpose of this is that you shouldn't be able to open queries or forms or tables in design view on the front end. You can just open your database and save it again as an accdb file and continue as normal.
If you're having other problems with the linked tables, I suggest you open the Linked Table Manager and refresh the links (if you moved the backend file, this is necessary).
I would recommend trying to proceed as normal by using Shift Bypass just to be sure. ( Hold the shift key when you start the database. Then attempt to modify in design view).
If these fail, I would attempt to copy the queries and /or forms if possible and create new ones.
So I have this project on access 2003. I am trying to create a relation diagram of the tables. I have found this webpage of Microsoft: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/create-a-database-diagram-adp-HP003085405.aspx but I do not see any Database diagram option as I was supposed to see according to that article.
I am not even sure what they meant by Diagram window (I can see the list of tables, forms, queries and so on in a window, is that what they meant?). I have worked with DB diagram in access 2007 and 2010 but 2003 seems to be totally different.
And another question: is there any restriction in creating diagram on front-end/back-end application?
The solution to this problem was fairly simple. I just had to double click on my mdb file then hold down the shift key. That made the options visible. The rest was easy.
Sorry my question might not be clear. I saw one answer but I think that is too advanced for me to even understand.
That article is referring to what is called an ADP project. An ADP project is a specialized type of Access database that ONLY works with SQL server. Thus the article you reference would not apply to creating regular Access databases (that are not working with SQL server). Perhaps you can clear up if you are in fact using an ADP (Access Data Project). From your description it sounds like you are not.
As for the locating where you build the diagram and setup relatonahsips, it always in the back end (or the "same" database). I mean you could not have 5 different front ends link to a back each with different relationships settings. So the actually physical mdb (or accdb) file is where the relationships are setup and other systems from Excel, word or even a MS Access front end can only link to that data file – not set up relationships.
As for the diagram option missing? You should find the option under the menu option
Tools->relationships
My colleague and I decides to break the jobs into two, she design the GUI in MSAccess and I design the classes in MSAccess too. Now the problem is, we need to combine those files into a single file. How I can do that? Any help is highly appreciated
Assuming that the classes that you implemented are modules in an Access database, then you can import one user's work into the other user's database (doesn't matter whether you're moving the GUI or the code) with the import function. Up to and including Access 2003 you would right click on the list in the database window and choose Import. . . from the context menu.
