File Already In Use?? It's A Shared DB!!
Mar 14, 2008Hey folks, me again...
I have a big problem and it's stopping us from rolling out the db to our call-center... cliff-notes at the end...
I have a database that tracks customer calls.
The db files are located on the network in a folder that everybody has access to.
The db is arranged as such:
A backend that holds all the tables.
A front-end for Customer Service Reps with tables that are linked from the backend
A front end for Managers linked in the same way.
And a front end for our corporate folks which is also linked in the same way.
I've tried replicating, making mde's and creating a shortcut on each CSR's desktop. I've also made sure that I use the UNC to link the tables. I've also made sure the db's are shared (I think)
Cliff-notes:
when I have the front-end open on my desktop, and somebody else tries to open it, they get an error. "The file is already in use"
Am I doing something wrong Or am I missing some type of setting??
Modules & VBA :: Browse For A File On Shared Drive And Link It To Record
Feb 24, 2015I have a form displaying records. I would like the user to be able to select a button, browse for a file on a shared drive and link it to that record.
I have been exploring hyperlinking, which works for the most part, although I need it to display the share name rather than the drive assignment for that user. Such as drive1folder rather than C:folder.
Hyperlinking also unfortunatly requires the user to right click on a field select edit hyperlink then browse.
Shared MDE Gives Exclusive Access Warning
Jul 3, 2007We have shared MDE, when second user opens gets message: [B]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.
The message seems to repeat for each compiled object (Form, Report and Module).
Helptext states occurs when in design mode - but not in design mode!
Any ideas as to how we can suppress the warning?
Shared Access To A Database Problem
Dec 27, 2007I have a problem related to shared access to a MDB file:
- I designed an Acccess Database and need shared access to everybody for read forms , and also I need (just for me) to do some "real time" modifications in the tables. I work in a huge company and cannot make changes in the Access of each user, just can work on my laptop. The file is placed in a shared folder.
- I can assign policies to the folders (for example I made a read only folder, with admin rights for me, but when somebody opened the mdb, I got an 'open only advice, and couldn't update any table; It's curious because the users coudn't generate the LDB file but still the access denied me the chance to modify any table when the file is opened by anybody).
- I tried playing with tools-security, but I cannot change every user settings, it didn't helped me.
I've been looking for related links to this problem but still I couldn't solve it. And at this point I wonder if it's just possible to do that?
Thank you very much

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsers Cannot Access Data Entered By Others In A Shared BE!!!
Nov 27, 2007Hi folks,
I've a BE/FE database where the BE is on the server and the FE on different PCs. I have got linked tables in my FE and the connection between them and the BE is correct; however, users cannot view data entered by others. They can only view data entered by themselves!!
I'm not sure if the records are getting locked that's why they can't see others inputs.
Any help will be very much appreciated,

Access 2003 Backend On Shared Network Drive.
Feb 8, 2006Hi all...
I have an ACCESS 2003 application with front end in the local machine and backend on the shared network drive. I mapped this drive to E: in my computer and all my linked tables show the E:folernameDatabasename.mdb as the source.
When I install this application in an other computer where they have mapped the same drive to F: , I am getting error that says "E:foldernameDatabasename.mdb" not found. How can use absolute network drive(like \cscrd eamfoldernamedatabasename.mdb) name to link the tables?
Thanks in advance.
Modules & VBA :: Add Appointment To Shared Outlook Calendar Using Access
Aug 19, 2014I am very new to VBA. I found some code that will allow me to add an appointment to my personal calendar with using access VBA and it works great. It also allows me to add an appointment to another calendar created under "My Calendars" folder.
I wanted to know how to change the code in order to add the appointment to the SHARED calendar instead.
The main folder is called "Shared Calendars" which is at the same level as the default "My Calendars" folder. Under the "Shared Calendars" folder the calendar is called "Tester".
Here is the code im using at the moment: I believe I have have to change the line of code that is in red but I don't know how.
Private Sub cmdAddAppt_Click()
On Error GoTo cmdAddAppt_Err
Dim outobj As Outlook.Application
Dim outappt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim olNS As Outlook.NameSpace

View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Mail Merge Word File (using Data From Access File)
Mar 11, 2014I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
Backup Current Access File Using Vba While The File Is Open
Jul 11, 2007I have a button in the form of the current access file. What I want to do is when the user click on the button,
triggered the vba to backup current access file. But since the file is currently open, is this possible? If yes, may I know how to do it with vba?
I have tried two methods but failed:
1) Use copytofile method, but I get permission denied due to file open;
2) Use dbengine.compactdatabase method, but it also has problem if the file is open.
Does File Server Hosting Back-end Mdb File Need To Have Access
Nov 15, 2013I'm experimenting with MS Access, and I've successfully split an MDB someone created into two files. I can access the database from 2 computers at once using the front end file connecting to a file server which hosts the _be.mdb file.
Could the _be.mdb file theoretically be on a NAS without any computer attached, or is there some runtime or full version of Access that needs to run on the machine with the back end file?

May 13, 2005can anybody tell me why my colleague cannot add records to a DB I set up on my pc.
i have a DB with 3 tables linked (all one-to-one).
i can add records into it fine on my pc but when my colleague tries on her pc it allows her to enter data but when it comes to moving onto the next record it wont allow her to save the record.
To explain further. there are 3 tables as mentioned before. lets call them Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3. When my colleague uses the form to add a record it wont let her save it as it says a related record is needed in table 2.
any ideas why it works perfectly on mine but not on hers?

Shared Drive
Oct 23, 2007Hello,
I have an exrternal shared drive "E:"where I put my be files (which are constantly accessed by users with fe's from different terminals). Everytime
I reboot the computer that I am working on (where the external drive is), I have to set up the permissions of the shared drive "E:" all over again, otherwise other computers have no access to E. Is there a way that I could
fix this and not having to set permissions every time I reboot my computer?
For some reason, the permissions are lost.

Shared Database Problems
Dec 19, 2006hello everyone... with the help i have gotten from this site I embarked upon producing a online booking databse for my workplace ...
since the work enjoys having an intranet i simply placed the database in a shared folder and things have worked great for nearly a year ...
Ive tinkered and modified and everyone is happy till today ....
while an administrator was deleting a booking things went haywire ....
a message came up about couldnt delete because someone else was deleting ...things froze and a message about path problems came on the screen..
the only thing we could do was delete the database and replace it with the backup copy we have.... everything worked great for an hour or so and then things went wonky again with same error messages...
also I noticed that the database grew in size from 1.6md to 2.5 mb ....
again I replaced it with the backup copy and did a repair and compress ..and it seems to be ok ..
but im dreading tommorrw since i anticpate it happening again ..any suggestions appreciated... ps ..the databse is a booking form for booking ict suites in a school and I am the schools technician
cheers

Shared Folder Problems
Feb 1, 2007I'm currently having problems with splitting my database.
The situation as present it:
- I have a shared folder on my laptop, to which i have given full permission rights to a collegue, in this folder is the backend of the db which i split from a database also sat in the shared folder
- I can then go to the front end of my database either on my desktop or shared folder and update tables
- However, this is where the problems start. The copy of the front end that my collegue has (an exact replica of mine) cant access or open any tables. Even if he opens the exact front end that I'm successful with in the shared folder. The following error message appears
"Could not find the file 'D:Testdb_be.mdb'"
the D drive on my computer is where the shared folder 'test' is stored.
Any hints or advice on why this isnt working?
Thanks in anticipation

Different Paths For Shared Drive
Feb 2, 2006Hello all:
I have the following code to retrieve doucments:
strPath = "G:CorpCustomer Files"
Application.FollowHyperlink strPath & "" & textbox1 & "-" & textbox2 & ".doc"
This works fine from my computer because the shared drive on my computer is saved on the G drive.
I tried using the code from a coworker's computer, but got an error because her shared drive is : "X:CorpCustomer Files"
Basically anyone can access the Corp server through any drive depends on how it was mapped.
How do I get around this so that it works from any computer as long as the user has the Corp share drive?
Thanks much.
