Saturday, May 23, 2009 – Permalink – Compact-Repair ShortcutDesktop convenienceYou can make compacting and repairing databases easier by providing a desktop shortcut. Right-click on the Windows desktop and select New>Shortcut from the shortcut menu. Then, set up a Command Line entry in the form: "Path to Access.exe" "Path to Database.mdb" /compact For example, to create a shortcut to compact Northwind, you might use: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msaccess.exe" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Samples\Northwind.mdb" /compact Click Next and continue through the shortcut setup wizard, naming the shortcut appropriately. In Access 2000+, the database is both compacted and repaired when the /compact switch is applied. Access 97 executes these processes separately, so Access 97 shortcuts should use a Command Line in the form: "Path to Access" "Path to Database" /compact /repair Also note that you can compact to a different location by specifying a target database name after the /compact switch. If you omit a target file name following the /compact option, the file is compacted to the original name and folder. To compact to a different name, specify a target file. If you don't include a path in target database or target Access project, the target file is created in your My Documents folder by default. (Even though a shortcut will open the database without it, in order for the command line flag to work, you MUST include the path to the executable - Access.exe) See all Topics access <Doug Klippert@ 3:31 AM

Sunday, May 17, 2009 – Permalink – New Fields from Datasheet ViewTable fields on the flyWe all, of course, pre-plan our table layouts. However, if you need to create a table field while working in Datasheet view, you don't have to switch to Design view. There's a quick way to create a field from Datasheet view. Right-click on the column heading of the column you want to the right of your new field. Choose Insert Column from the shortcut menu. Access creates a field with a name such as "Field1". You can then immediately start entering data in. You can also use the shortcut menu to rename or delete the newly created field. Later you can go to Design view to set the field's properties.
