The following material is shared here to indicate our commitment to professional Microsoft Access programmer services in the Houston TX area. Access programming for business is highly complex and requires dedication and skill to create a high quality database application. We wrote the book on Microsoft Access prgramming, so you know you will get the best possible Access database solution for your business.
At the top of the Access Object Model, you will find the Application object, which refers to the active Access application. It contains all of Access's other objects and collections, including the Forms collection, the Reports collection, the DataAccessPages collection, the Modules collection, the CurrentData object, the CurrentProject object, the CodeProject object, the CodeData object, the Screen object, and the DoCmd object. You can use the Application object to modify the properties of, or execute commands on, the Access application itself, such as specifying whether Access's built-in toolbars are available while the application is running.
The Application object has a rich list of properties. An important property introduced with Access 2002 is the BrokenReference property. You use this property to determine whether any broken references exist within the current project. The property is equal to True if broken references exist, and False if no broken references are identified. The property eliminates the need to iterate through each reference, determining whether any references are broken.
Just as the Application object has a rich list of properties, it also has a rich list of methods. Another important method introduced with Access 2002 is the CompactRepair method, which allows you to programmatically compact and repair a database, without declaring ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) objects.
The code uses the Path property of the CurrentProject object to extract the path of the current project and place it into a string variable. Covered later in this chapter, the CurrentProject object returns a reference to the current database project. The code uses the Dir function to evaluate whether the database called Chap9Small.accdb exists. If it does, the code uses the Kill command to delete the file. Finally, the code uses the CompactRepair method to compact the Chap9Big.accdb file into Chap9Small.accdb.
Another important method introduced with Access 2002 is the ConvertAccessProject method. This method allows you to programmatically convert an Access database from one version of Access to another.
The code first places the path associated with the current project into a variable called strFilePath. Next, it determines whether a file called Chap9V2007.mdb exists. If such a file does exist, it deletes the file. Finally, the code uses the ConvertAccessProject method of the Application object to convert an Access 2003 database called Chap9Ex.mdb to the Access 2007 file format. The destination file is called Chap9V2007.accdb. Different constants are used for the DestinationFileFormat parameter to designate conversion of the source file to different versions of Access.
