Error - "The Current User Account Doesn't Have Permission To ......"
Jul 31, 2006
Hello
I have a very important access database running on a Windows 98SE laptop with Access 97 on the laptop. I wish to have that database backep up and opened on an XP machine running Access 2003. The problem is that the laptop is a corporate laptop with lots of security features and the database can only be opened by that laptop. The laptop only has permissions to read the file, so cannot remove the protection. I have tried to copy the system.mdw file across to the xp machine (in the correct directory), but I still get the below error.
The current user account doesn't have permission to convert or enable this database.
To convert or enable a database, ensure the following:
* You must join the workgroup that defines the user accounts used to access the database.
* Your user account must have Open/Run and Open Exclusive permissions for the database object.
* Your user account must have Modify Design or Administer permissions for all the tables in the database, or it must be the owner of all tables in the database.
* Your user account must have Read Design permission for all objects in the database.
* Request that other users close the database.
I have tried to create a new database on the xp machine and import all the data into a new database, but again I get an error (but only when importing certain forms and macros) below:
"You don't have permission to import, export or link to 'item name'"
I have also tried to create a blank database and import data from the database into it on the laptop, with the same error message above.
Does anybody have any ideas about this one? For example is there a piece of software to remove the protection (not a password remover)? - help appreciated.
I was in the process of setting up a new user on our database, when I think I inadvertantly changed my own permissions. As the owner & creator of the database I am now unable to open it up - am getting th following messag:
"You do not have the necessary permissions to use the 'NDatabasesGAB Contacts.mdb' object. Have your system administrator or the person who creatd this objct establish the appropriat permissions for you."
After rading another thread on this subject I hav amendd the security options for the database, by right-clicking & selecting properties and the Security tab, then adding myself as the owner - but this has not resolved the problem.
Does anyone have any other suggestions to help me get back into my database?
Hi, I have put my database in a package using MS Access extension but the user and Group Perssion is not included to the package. Does some one know how to include the permissions too.
My db is secured using Access security but now find myself needing to code a little security work around if possible.
I have a form that has a subform. On the subform is a field named "Comments". The subform security only lets a particular group write to the fields it contains (including "Comments"). I have a new user that I need to allow to write to "Comments" but not to any of the other fields on the subform. I could make another subform with "Comments" only field and redo my security so that the original group can write to both subforms and new user can only write to "Comments" subform but I think it might be easier to code in that the new user is only allowed to write to field "Comments" in the existing subform. Every user logs into the db so I can get the user ID.
I get this error when opening my MS Access database - You do not have the necessary permissions to use the ...[flie name and path]... object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the necessary permissions for you.
The database works fine on another computer, but every time I transfer it to mine (I am on a network), I get the above error. I have recreated the User-level security workgroup file, no joy.
i have the following code that hides 5 buttons depending if the user has permission which works fine.im trying to incorporate an IF statement if there is only 1 of the buttons visible then to automatically click the button. but if there is more than 1 do noting?
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim rsO As DAO.Recordset Set rsO = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT tblUserPermission.UserFK, tblUserPermission.CompanyFK, tblUserPermission.Permission " & _ "FROM tblUserPermission INNER JOIN tblUser ON tblUserPermission.UserFK = tblUser.UserPK " & _ "WHERE Username = '" & Me.txtName.Value & "'")
I am using an RC4 vba function to encrypt the password when a user account is setup in the front end of my split database. The password is stored in the backend encrypted. It is encrypted in the before update event of the form by calling a function against the bound password field. My problem is that when I want to maintain user accounts using this form, I want to be able to see the password as plain text.
I can decrypt it and display it in the form in plain text but cannot update it. This is because to display the password in plain text requires me to use a query as the record source for the form and this query requires an expression to call the decrypt function against the password field. The form will not allow any changes against a field that uses an expression as the control source.
I got these three code routines for backing up an Access database file from two different forums. I installed them as is, on a test database, creating command buttons for each. The test database is not password protected. I intend (if I can get one of these working) to install it on simple, single file, password protected databases.The first two came from Access World Forums at: URL....
Code:
Function BACKUPS() On Error GoTo Err_BACKUPS Dim fso As Object Dim sSourcePath As String Dim sSourceFile As String Dim sBackupPath As String Dim sBackupFile As String
[code]....
I got a compile error "Invalid use of property." on the button sub. Then there was a simple On Click sub:
Code:
Private Sub Backup_Click() Dim fs Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") fs.CopyFile CurrentProject.FullName, "C:", True Set fs = Nothing MsgBox "Database has been backed up successfully" End Sub Private Sub Command32_Click() End Sub
On this one I got a "Permission denied." error on the CopyFile method. As I said before, my database is not password protected.I found this third bit of code on another forum: URL...
Code: Public Function db_Backup() On Error GoTo db_Backup_Err
Dim sourceFile As String, destinationFile As String Dim aFSO As Variant Dim path As String, name As String
[code]....
On this one I got another "Permission denied." error on the CopyFile method. Again, my database is not password protected. This code had appeared to me to be the most promising of the three.
I have a 2003 .mdb file and the associated Workgroup Information File which normally resides on a network in a folder V:V-Base-DatabaseDATA. I have the Workgroup Information File.
The database is unsupported and we need to migrate the data to a new web based database.
When I try to open the database with the shift key down I get the following message :
You do not have the necessary permission to use the V:V-Base-DatabaseDATAV-Basebe.mdb object.
What is the best way to access the data and do I need to do this on the server instead of a local drive off site?
What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..
I am extremely new to Access. I have my database up and running ok(ish) and would like to know if in my data entry form, I can have the "Date Entered in Database" box display the current date that does not change from day to day. I know you can use the "Now()" function but won't this just change everyday?
i have my database split (backend and frontend) - both are residing on the server in different folders...users can't have it on their desktop since we're running on a Citrix server and each user only has a thin client.
Now currently I've got 3 users to the system. 2 users can use the system simultaneously without any problems...however the other user loads the front end but the backend data (bookings, despatches, etc) simply does not load - cannot access any data..
I have a report that has a link to open a a form "ProjectDetailsActive" to a specific record ID from the report. It works.
I have 3 subsets of users who have restricted access to the form "Project Details Active". By that I mean that when they open this form, it hides and rearranges some tabs, and disables certain controls. If a user from one of these 3 subsets tries to open the link to a specific record in the form, it does not work. The form opens to the first record available instead of the selected record. This is only a problem for these 3 user groups. For users who do not fall into these 3 groups, the filter works.
This is the only code in the form that does the restriction, but I don't know where the process is going wrong.
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() LoadBudgetPage CancelRsn.Enabled = False 'detect number of line items for current project Me.lblOrderCount.Caption = GetNumRecords & " line items for this project."
I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.
I have a med-large db shared on network. Am under some pressure to split front/back so more people can do data entry, but want the forms to be semi-finished before putting them on everybody's c:drive.
The problem is error handling for required fields. Some fields are required in the underlying tables because if users don't fill them in, reports are useless. But Access error msg for required fields are too strange, users just close down, maybe wrecking the thing. Don't want to eliminate Close button yet in case they get stuck in Access hell.
I got one ( !! ) field locked in well using LostFocus event, but what do you do if users just mouse into fields at random? LostFocus won't work if it never had focus, right?
(Would much prefer to just use unbound form and give choice of "Field is required" and "OK" or "Cancel this record" but realize that's asking for a lot of help here.)
Any assistance you can offer would be MUCH appreciated!! Vba course isn't until July.
I'm creating a database for a college assignment, and for this database, I need to record the current user ID when a record is created/updated. But I dont know the function (like, Now() returns the current date/time) that gives me the user ID. The help files are awful and I cant find the function I need =(
I need to mine the Proper Name of the current user and automatically populate a field on a form. I've tried default value = currentname() and all I get returned is Admin. How can I retrieve the Proper Name of the network username and auto populate a field? Any help is appreciated.
Hi I have designed a MS Access tool accessed by multiple user. The first screen asks for badge number which is unique for each user. I wanted to do away with that screen. Instead wanted to get the username of the currently logged in user, may be from registry or somewhere. We have Windows XP here. Is there any VBA script for that....Need help!!
i have a database that users log into before they can do anything, after they log in, when they open up a form, i want the username that was used to log in to be displayed and stored in a field. how would i do that?
Here are the relevant fields and tables Name ---------------------- Description USERS --------------------- contains username/password/success/date time for login Login ---------------------- Login form Username ------------------ Username field in 'Login' Password ------------------ Password field in 'Login' EXPOSURE_REPORT --------- Table that contains information for form VV EXPOSURE_REPORT --------- Form REPORTRECIEVEDBY -------- field that needs the current user stored in it
there are 6 or 7 users total, if that's at all relevant, thanks!
Hi Guys, my first post hereim making a database for work and need to figure out the followingi have two people that uses a ms access db, each entering data.i made a custom macro in the vb editor:Public Function cUsername() cUsername = Environ("USERNAME")End Functionwhat i want to do now is, everytime a new entry is added in the table, it should add that username to the "user" cell... it should only do this once, so for example, when i enter data it will show "albert" and if i was to close it, login as "steve" it should still show "albert" under the ones i added, and not steve...this needs to be in the table not a query or form...thanks for your timeAG
If I have a field in a table called "AddedBy", is there a way for this to default to the CurrentUser that's logged in to the database when a record is added to the table? I know you can use "Application.CurrentUser" both in the VB code and within SQL queries, but it doesn't seem to work if I put it in the "Default Value" box with the table editor. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
I am setting up a call log for an application. Once a message has been entered, I need to restrict access to the person who created it AND to managers (who have admin privelages to the database). Since the user who created a message needs to be able to go back in and edit it if necessary, I can NOT simply restrict access to the edit form to admins.
The command that opens this form looks like this so far:Code:If ((Me.[Transaction] = "Status Call") And _ (Me.[TransactionBy] = CurrentUser())) THEN DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEditMessage" ...Else MsgBox("Blah blah blah, etc etc.")End IfI need to add something to the initial If statement like this:Code:Or (CurrentUser.isMemberOfGroup("Admins"))but I don't know the correct Access syntax for it.
I was creating a program using ms access. consist of 2 table of database called employee and userlevel.. in employee table have ID, name, username, password,userlevel, and others related employee profile.. and in userlevel table, it consist of admin level and normal user level.. Userlevel table allow to differenciate admin and normal user(employee) .. in my program each employee having their own loginID and pass to access their own data.. the problem with my program now is displaying the data that belong to the logged in employee. its mean that it only show the data that owned by currently user that logged in..
