I open my database when I click on the link in a pdf file!
I created a database and if I look in the properties every domain user has full control to my database.
When I open the database it creates a .ldb file, but in the ldb every user has only a read admission. I can change the admission to write, but it only stays in the lbd file until I close the database again!
ohhh I hope I can fix it soon, waiting of your help!!!! Thank you:rolleyes:
I have header table and a distribution table that both need to be written to a txt file. They need to be written in a certain order Header. Distribution. Header. Distribution. etc. There can be multiple distribution lines for the header line.
So far this is what I'm trying and its not working right. ~Legend~ hrst = header record set drst = distribution record set tblHeaderExp = header table exporting from tblDistExp = distribution table exporting from ~End of Legend~
I'm currently creating an interface program for a MS Access database. I've only used Access once in the past but used other DB's a handful of times so I didn't have any trouble getting the general program created. My issue arose when I tried to make it so that the users needing to use the program can just copy the .exe and the .mdb files and use it.
The program doesn't require users to share the database but to store their OWN programs information in their OWN database, so basically each needs to have their own database with the exact same design (but different data). The original plan was to just get them to copy over a near empty .mdb with the design set up and have them slowly create their own dataset with it. However, upon copying these files between my computer and others it ends up allowing my interface program to retrieve data from the DB but not write any new entries to it. All security permission on the file itself are set to allow read/write to everyone so I'm not sure what's causing this. Is there any other security settings I should worry about? Everything I could find within access seemed to be set so that it could be used freely so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. - I apologize if there is already a related topic in existence, I am new to these boards and tried to search beforehand for any information on this topic but came up empty handed so decided to start my own topic about this problem.
I have the requirement to write EACH record from a table to its own CSV file with name of the file being combination of 2 fields
So let's say I have Table1 with 3 columns (Field1, Field2, Field3) with following content :
Field1 Field2 Field3 AA 1 ABC AA 2 DEF AA 3 GHI
I should get 3 files with names AA1.CSV, AA2.CSV and AA3.CSV and each file contains its respective row from the table.
I tried to do it with DAO Recordset, but I do not find a way to write only the current record from recordset while looping.
See below the code I was using, but issue is that code does succesfull creates the 3 CSV files as per above example, but in each file it writes ALL 3 ROWS instead only the respective ROW.
Code: Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String Dim strFilename As String
I have a function to write some data to a text file (as an activity log, separate to the live data contained in the DB)
It uses the FileSystemObject.OpenTextFile method and works fine
However, I'm conscious that, although perhaps unlikely, there is the possibility (which is enough for me to worry about it) that multiple users could trigger the function simultaneously, which could cause a conflict when multiple FE's try to write to the same log file at the same time.
So I'm trying to add some code to prevent this from happening, by checking if write-access is available before proceeding.
Below is the piece of code I've added. Was considering, as an alternative, looping until the objFile is no longer Nothing, rather than depending on the Err.Number?
Code: Dim objFSO As Object Dim objFile As Object On Error GoTo ErrorHandler ... Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
I am currently using Access 2010, and have successfully split a database, using the Access wizard.However, whenever a second or third user opens the database - with their front-end database file - they encounter the following message;The Microsoft Access Database engine cannot open or write to the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
I have researched the internet and see that it has something to do with network permissions. I have worked with my IT department and this appears to be resolved!
Is there a setting I need to check in the front-end and/or back-end copies of the databases?Why is there no file name in the error message?
Does a (the) .ldb file have to be closed for another user on a network (separate FE linked to network drive BE) to read/write info to a table? Or even select info from a table?
Hi I am looking for help related to the “You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time. If you proceed to make changes, you may not be able to save them later.” message when trying to change the design. I have done a lot of reading on this forum as well as googled the subject but have not found anything regarding my specific question. I find that there’s a whole lot of information regarding workgroup security and how to set up and troubleshoot. However, my needs are a bit more simple – I think :) We have a database that is shared among 5-6 users during a couple months out of the year. There are no log-on id’s required and everyone just opens the file and works as needed. Everything works fine; we have no problems with users changing or doing more than they are supposed to. Therefore, I don’t want to break anything by complicating matters…it works and we’re happy with it. The only annoyance is that during these couple months, someone has to make occasional changes to the database in design mode. Of course, we need everyone else out of the database so he can have exclusive access. This entails calling and/or running around asking those people to close the file and sometimes physically checking computers left unattended with the file open. So my question is: Is there any way to find out what users or workstations have the file open? This would make it so much simpler. All the users are on a Windows Server 2003 network and the files reside on a server. Perhaps this is more of a Windows question; I couldn’t think where else to post it! If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
I'm having trouble opening up the tools I am developing in Access for multiple users. I split all my databases so the users will only interface with the "Front End" and I just tried saving one as an ACCDE file. I had the ACCDE file open on my machine and asked another person in the office to try opening it (all our files are stored on a network drive, which is already identified as a trusted source).
She got the following error message:
"The database cannot be opened because the VBA project contained in it cannot be read. The database can be opened only if the VBA project is first deleted. Deleting the VBA project removes all code from modules, forms, and reports. You should back up your database before attempting to open the database and delete the VBA project"
How do I fix this? I don't want to publish several Front End Access files since each person in my office will ask me to customize their file and my supervisor wants everyone working off the same file. I thought the point of Access was that multiple users could open the same file and make data modifications. How do I achieve this while retaining all the fun, creative VBA solutions I have developed?
I need help in setting up a login page which would redirect users to their specific directory, file, or URL. I'm able to create the login page without any problem but i'm unsure what exactly i need to do afterwards to get this to work.
can someone, anyone please help
your help would be much appreciated.
please mail me with any information you might have the1@studio9.shacknet.nu
I have a database with three users, only one of whom has editing privileges. As such, I didn't see the need to setup a front end and back end (nor did I know how at the time). Anyway, that's not the issue. The database is saved on a networked computer that all users can access. Unfortunately, when accessing the database in the shared network folder, only the first user can access it. Other users will double click the file and virtually nothing happens.
However, users can instead open Access first, and open the file through the program fine. Why this would be the case and how I can have multiple users open the file from the shared folder?
I'll first of all explain the purpose of the query. I've built a database to record the admission details of patients admitted to hospital. Amongst other things, the database captures date/time of admission and date/time of discharge.
The query I am building needs to show patients with multiple admissions, and in particular, the number of days that have elapsed since they were last discharged. Within my query is the following subquery that I had written to show this aspect of it:
(SELECT TOP 1 Dupe.[Discharge Date] FROM [Inpatient Database] AS Dupe WHERE Dupe.[CHI Number] = [Inpatient Database].[CHI Number] AND Dupe.[Discharge Date] <= [Inpatient Database].[Admission Date]) AS [Previous Discharge],
Note: "CHI Number" is a unique reference number assigned to every patient.
I then display in a column [Admission Date] - [Previous Discharge].
This works fine where a patient only has one previous admission. However, where a patient has multiple admission, the subquery always returns that patient's first discharge date instead of their most recent discharge date (because I have used the "TOP 1" predicate). It seems that it should be straightforward enough, however I can't seem to work around it. Anything I try results in errors, and so I keep defaulting back to my "TOP 1" solution.
i.e. What I want it to show is: Name.......Admission Date...Discharge Date.... Previous Discharge... Days Between Admissions Joe Bloggs ..01/01/2014 .......10/01/2014 Joe Bloggs ..15/01/2014 .......20/01/2014 .......10/01/2014 ..............5 Joe Bloggs ..27/01/2014 .......01/02/2014 ........20/01/2014 .............7
However, what it actually shows is: Name ......Admission Date ...Discharge Date ...Previous Discharge ...Days Between Admissions Joe Bloggs ..01/01/2014 ......10/01/2014 Joe Bloggs ..15/01/2014 ......20/01/2014 ........10/01/2014 .............5 Joe Bloggs ..27/01/2014 ......01/02/2014 ........10/01/2014 .............17
I am making a database to coordinate the activities of my band (how rock and roll!)...
Is there a way I can somehow host the file remotely, and have users (4 total) access that file through their own computer using access, so they can write, edit, delete records?
We have a db at my work that we use like this, accessing from multiple computers, though this is on a network drive.
I have been using a A2003 file through A2007 to be able to use user security.We are now in A2010 and the users and permissions component is not showing in the Administrator area as it did in A2007, although the security is still functioning. How do I get access to Users and Permissions in A2010?
I have a button which runs a list of queries that take roughly 10 seconds to run, when another user clicks the button while the other one is running it gives and error message 3405, File already in use.
I have been trying to set up a batch file to allow users to copy the latest version of the front end whenever a change is made. The following is the code that I am trying to get to work properly. The first part works fine, the old front end is copied to a folder on the user's desktop as a backup. But I cannot get the copy of the server - the "P" drive, to overwrite the current copy on the user's desktop. Actually I cannot get the code to copy the new front end from the server and install it on the user's desktop. I think the path is correct for I seem to be able to run the new front end from the server.
When I look for the location on my computer, the server locations is listed as:
General (Servernamefiles) (P: ) (there is no space after the P: it seems to result in a smiley face when I type it and try to post it).
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set year=%%c for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set month=%%a for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set day=%%b set TODAY=%year%-%month%-%day% rem echo %TODAY%
[Code] .....
This code works so I thought that the path was correct rem this works rem start the new DB front end Start P:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEndDBMain.accdb
But this code does not. echo f | xcopy /f/y/ P:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEndDBMain.accdb c:UsersUserNameDesktopDBMain.accdb
Neither does this: echo f | xcopy /f/y/ ServerNamefilesP:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEn dDBMain.accdb c:UsersUserNameDesktopDBMain.accdb
I have attached a sample database. Basically I want to have some lines of code that generate the result table, which is tbl_readmit_result.
As you can see, the difference is the addition of a new column called re_admit_status.
Rule is:
Status = "y" when the admission date, compared to the previous discharge is less than 7 days, otherwise "n", for the same pt_id. You cannot compare the two dates on different pt_ids.
Is there a way that this can be done automatically without having to go through the record manually?
The database has to be handled by a web service and/or a web appliction making the comma delimited option occupy more server time breaking down the string into usable user_ID's. But (and this is probably my actual problem) if i was to impliment my second idea, I'm not sure what I should make the tables primary key or the best way to relate it to the main user table.
My initial thought is to just have a, technicaly useless, ID be the primary key and impliment a one(User) to many(friends entries) relationship... but im a bit of an access n00b so thought i better come ask for some advice.
i need to update some textbox value when insert some value at another textbox.. like when i add 3 at 1st textbox, 2nd text box will calculate it auto matically wit this formula, 2ndtextbox = 1sttextbox - 1 ...
so where should i type ? query? how? default value? if need to wrte code, which 1 i need to write it? after update? before update?
on my laptop, i have an access front end with tables linking to sql server personal edition.
i open a linked table, edit a field, and i get a write conflict error message 'this record has been changed by another user since you edited it', and the save record button is not enabled
i have many linked tables, but this is the only table that gives me this error. i have deleted the table in sql server, and made a new table, and started the link process again, but still the write conflict.
also, as i dont know if this is related.
when i get tothe screen to link the tables, i see 2 table names prefixed with a "~", however, when i go into sql server, i cannot see any tables prefixed with a "~"
any responses would be most appreciative, as my project has effectively stopped until i can resolve this.
Hi I have a small database written in access 2000 which has be compiled as a mdb, this resides on a file server and can be run from a number of workstations on the network . It has been running ok for 2 years until a couple of weeks ago, on one particular pc the database opens and you can do reports etc view exist data as normal ,but you cannot write to a table ( these are contained in a second table only data base ) if you run the program on any other pc workstaion it works fine as it has for 2 years on this problimatic PC.
it must be something on the particular pc , we have reinstalled Access 2000 to no advail
What is the best way to go about doing a 2.0 version of a database? When I wrote ours I was a newbie. Not that I am an expert now or anything but things could definately use an upgrade!!!
I need to clean up the forms, etc. Do I just dump all the tables in from the old one and start over?
I also want to completely revamp a couple of things. How would I make sure that all the purchase order numbers (auto number field) still matched?
users are using a hand held scan gun to enter data into a field. if the barcode is 12 characters long, I only want the 1st 7 to be written to the table.
I was thinking a validation rule using TRIM or LEN but can't seem to get it to work.
I want to use the value from a textbox as openargs for another form. If I don't do a write to the table with SQL, then I get a NULL error on the getOpenArgs on the form. If I do do a write, then I get multiple occurrances of the record.
