Convert ADP to MDB

My company uses Microsoft ADP to manage and display data. I am the
Business Analyst for the division, my manager has asked me to import
the ADP and convert it to MDB, so that we can modify queries to
generate more reports.
To give a little background on the issue, we have a "Form" that
performs a search in the "Tables" using the queries, and outputs that
results into and calendar format in excel. All this has been hard-coded
into the VB code. Basically, the "Form" runs the code, which in turn
runs a "Module".
Some of the queries were encrypted so I had to go in and make sense
out of it, and build similar queries in MDB. I have imported all the
necessary tables, queries, modules, macros, and forms. Since it was
custom built, I am having difficulty debugging the errors... Is there
any basic stuff I should look at before I start troubleshooting'
Please help!!You'd probably want to post this to an Access forum.

ADP is merely a front-end app of SQL Server/MSDE and does not contain
tables, queries. It only has forms, reports, macros/vba code modules. If you
want to modify/create queries in ADP (they are actually Views, SPs, UDF in a
SQL Server database), you are actually directly working in a SQL Server
database.
If your goal is to switch the front end app from ADP to an mdb with linked
table (to the SQL Server back end), because of not cleared future of ADP,
then converting ADP to MDB may make some sense, otherwise, I do not see why
to do it.
Also, the way ADP connects to SQL Server (bound controls, especially) is a
bit different from the way mbd linked table. And it may also be quite
different how the server side queries (views, sps...) are used. IMO, one
must be good at both Access programming and SQL Server programming in order
to fulfill the converting, if it has to be converted.

So I'm taking a different approach. To keep things simple, I have three
tables (in MDB), so I created a query that draws required information
from the tables and puts the data in a calendar format in 'Access
Report' (I made a calendar for July, with Text Boxes for each day of
the month).
Problem: The calendar displays only one record per page, it was
supposed to display all the records corresponding to the days of the
month in one page. Also, is there a way to display more than one record
in the 'Text box'?, as of now it only displays one record in each 'text
box' in each page.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!|||jyesbrown@.gmail.com wrote:

I think you need to seek help in one of the Access groups, these sound
like questions specific to Access, not SQL Server. It also sounds like
you're in over your head, why did you agree to do something like this
without having a clue how?

Controlling Division Access in Corporate Consolodated db

BlankI'm designing a corporate level database which holds information for
each of the corporation's operating divisions. Divisions are dynamic, in
that they added and deleted to the corporate structure frequently. Also,
employees are moved from one division to another frequently. The roles that
employees perform are standardized across the entire corporation. The data
algorithms & structure is also set by corporate policy. Each division is
uniquely identified by a 3-digit "FacilityID" code.
In all the db tables, views, functions, etc., I need to restrict a user's
privileges to the rows of data that relate to the division in which they are
currently employed. Corporate users should have privileges across all of
the multiple divisions data.
Is there a "best Practices" established to implement this type of security?
I'm thinking of using views to define the role's access to data tables and
columns. Then using Select statements to access the view with a WHERE
clause to specify the FacilityID. Can this be done in SQL 2000?
I Would like to avoid the need for separate Select statements for corporate
and division users.
I also want to avoid different hard coded views for each division...there
are over 200 them. I'm thinking about dynamically generated queries/SELECT
statements (like what can be done in Access 2000)?
Thanks

Go thru this article. I am sure you'll find the answer.
