Allocate Record By User
May 15, 2006Hi All
I want a user to click a button and then it will assign the oldest record in the table to that particular user, by using their NT login.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks

General :: Allocate Record Number To End User?
Aug 18, 2014What is the best way to allocate a record number to the end user?
I have had problems where users have come back to me saying that both of them created the same record number at the same time and I am not sure why that is happening.
To be certain, I am using INSERT rather than UPDATE which was my initial concern (an update would just over write the previous record)
How can we check the last value, uniquely assign that value to a person at the point of creating the record and ensure that no one else can take it...
Is it possible that a laggy server would cause these issues? (as the code executes roughly the same time as another person also executes code, they overlap?)
Queries :: Allocate A Record To A Place In Table
Nov 25, 2014I've got a table [Devices] with some number fields that are already in there for another purpose.
In a different exercise I will manually collect more information from a layout drawing and give each piece of information I collect a unique reference(this could be as simple as a PK ref) and attach a "type" and "location" . This will be done randomly in a batch exercise any time.
I need to put the above into access and hold it until I choose to individually allocate these records to the number field that already exists in the [Devices] table.
I would like to add "say" a combo/List box in [Devices] where I could search for the PK Ref which when selected against a number would populate the [Devices] table with previously unallocated information. I would like to keep any combo/List box down to unallocated PK refs to make records easy to find. I guess this a kind of cut and paste exercise.
Automatically Allocate Stock?
Aug 25, 2005I have a database for taking orders for books, leaflets etc, what i want to do is this:
When I receive a delivery of stock I enter how many of each ‘Product’ I have received, I then want Access to allocate these to the various orders to make then ready for collection.
For example, if five people have all ordered 3 of ‘Product Guide’ and I only receive 15 then the first three to order are allocated three each.
Not got a clue how to do this, guessing I’ll need to code it?
Hope it makes sense
Forms :: Second User Record Changes When First User Selects Record
Jul 31, 2014I have a database for mutli users which is split. Front end is available separately for 3 users. These users make data entry in the same form from their front end form. This particular form has combo box that retrieves data based on selection in combo box and the use starts filling the data in the subform. Upto this, form is Ok, no problems seen.
But when the second user opens the same form from the split database front end stored in his computer, and once the second user selects another record from the combo box, first user's record also changes immediately to the record of Second user. Both users now have the same record even though the form is separately accessed from front end.
How To Allocate Percentages Of A Number Across Different Fields
Jul 27, 2012We have a model at my job which shows every job code one can do (there are only about 25 of these jobs) For example, let's say one job is called "Trade Settlements" and it's been estimated that we spend about 1000 minutes a day doing this particular job across the entire floor.
Well, I want to come up with a way to allocate the minutes of this to certain hour blocks and determining whether our group is over/understaff given the results.
So let's say I want, 30% of it to be done from 9-10 am, 10% done over the next 4 hour time blocks, and 2-3 pm for the remaining 30%.
Thus, we'd get something something like 300, 100, 100, 100, 100, 300 minutes and 0's for other time blocks.
These percentages would be input fields so if anyone types in a percentage, they get # of minutes spent for that hour on that job. Ultimately we would add these numbers up with other jobs and be able to easily update from there for any job type we wanted.
Multi-User - Can You Assign Which User Created/amended A Record?
Aug 4, 2007Hi guys,
I've seen different log in forms and tips on multi-user use but can't seem to find info on the following...
We have 6 people at work and I'd like to assign which user updated a form or created a new record...this would be particularly useful on the sales part of the database to track who made a call to a particular customer...
Best ideas anyone?

Queries :: Allocate Annual Sales By Month And Work Day
Dec 1, 2014On the surface this seems easy, but I am struggling. two tables
tbldata (four fields 6,270 rows)
custid 2015cellcode 2015qty 2015amt
12673 1243 100 1,000.00
12673 1250 200 2,000.00
etc etc
tblmntlyalloc (Three fields and 12 rows i.e. one row for each month)
2015mnth, 2015allocation, 2015wrkdays
jan 98 20
feb 93 19
etc etc etc
So in order to handle seasonality of sales, the sales department is given 1,200 points. you can then allocation any number of points (75 - 125) per month. But the total number of points must equal 1,200. So I created a table with the monthly allocation and workdays. I could hard code the % and work days into the formula like this
Jan1[2015amt]*(98/1200)) / 20
Feb1[2015amt]*(93/1200)) / 19
And this does work very well to get me my daily sales amount per month/wrkday
However I know sales will change the monthly allocation (still totals 1200) and HR could even have a change to the holiday schedule. So I want to utilize the table.
So my query brings in both tables, but they are not linked. And this is my formula.
Jan1[2015amt]*([2015allocation]/1200) / [2015wrkdays]
Feb1[2015amt]*([2015allocation]/1200) / [2015wrkdays]
Mar1[2015amt]*([2015allocation]/1200) / [2015wrkdays]
Apr1[2015amt]*([2015allocation]/1200) / [2015wrkdays]
etc etc for 12 months
So I need it to find the value for Jan in the Jan formula, and Feb in the feb formula etc. I cannot determine the correct query formula.
User Record Security
May 12, 2005Hi Guys
I am begining to create a IT support database for my company. I have never really needed to use secuirty for the other projects that i have completed but this one is a bit different. i have used the security wizard to create the users and groups but would like to get the basis of the security correct before i go any further.
My question is how do i configure it so that users can only update or change or delete thier own entries apart from me who could alter anything. Do i begin now when i am setting up the tables or is it a bit more complex and would require checks during accessing forms etc.
Any help and advice would be great
Many Thanks

Another User Is Editing This Record
Oct 14, 2005Hi I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this problem. I have a new database going live in two weeks. My problem is that I keep getting a message telling me that someone else is editing the record.. which is an impossibility as it is a stand-alone copy on my hard-drive at home! How is this possible? Will this problem be solved once I have this database on the sql server and the tables has been upsized to sql? Also this database is to be used by up to 100 people is this going to be a problem?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAnother User Did Not Edit This Record!
Nov 15, 2004I have a form based on a query that selects only the people working in a single office, and displays
various personnel data items. All of the data is contained in a single table. Whenever I update
any of the data in the form, I get a message saying that another user edited and saved the data
before I edited the data. Its rother annoying, and I can't figure out why it is happening.
The form is bound to the query, and a list box contains the names of the folks. A subform contains
the personnel data, and the two are connected by the primary key.
Update A Record When A Certain User Signs In The Db
Dec 12, 2006The Database is not split. Have 30 some users.
Here is what I am trying to do.
I have Mary, Sam and Bill logged into the database.
When Mary signs in she has no records to update, but when Sam and Bill logs in they have records to update.
How can I get a message just to Sam and Bill, but not to Mary?
I have a qry what records needs to be updated.
Just how would I go about this? I thought I had it when I use the "environ" but that just shows who is logged in. I am sure the form has something, but I haven't found out where.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Multi-user Record Contention
Apr 13, 2006I keep thinking this is so obvious I shouldn't have to ask, but....
I have a database, the back end sits on the network. Forms in the front end are bound to the data in the back end. This is certainly not optimal, but it has worked.
I'm guessing other uses of the network have increased, though, cause now, Access occasionally chokes when trying to open the forms.
So I need to unbind them.
Okay, I know how to do that. Trouble is, how do I deal with multiple users accessing the same record at the same time. With bound forms, Access may not handle it as elegantly as possible, but at least it does try to handle it.
Every example of unbound forms I have ever seen have grabbed data, used it to populate the form. Then if the record is edited, throw the changed data back to the back end. But what if someone jumped in between when the data was grabbed and when the changes were written back? How do I handle that?
To make matters worse, my users absolutely want to be able to continue to search and filter the forms. Plus, the form has detail data in continuous sub-froms.
I am thinking of accomodating that by up front having them select a subset of records, either all for a given customer, or hopefully, just a given invoice. I plan to copy that to a table on the front end, and bind the form to that copy.
When they change the beginning filter value, I would write the data back. But that could be hours later. Lots of time for the data to become stale.
Any suggestions on how to deal with these issues? Pointers to where is has been discussed before? (Hey, I did look, but all I found were vague, "you have to watch out for...." but never a way to handle it when it does happen.)
Thanks,
David
User Unable To Save Record?
Jan 25, 2007I have a problem where a user (with what I believe are the proper security settings) cannot save a new record in a form. I have set the securities on the form and the related table and query to allow this user to create new records (Add/Run).
This user is able to access the form and enter the data, but it will not save. I have added a "Save" button to no avail.
When I log on as the administrator, it works fine.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Multiple User Receiving Record Locked
Oct 10, 2006Hello,
I have a database we use to enter new account numbers and several other atribbutes about the account and it is split into a FE/BE with the BE in a shared folder. I have the open database using record-level locking checked but it seems to me that the database is opening up with page-level locking. Multiple users will receive a message that the current record is locked and I am sure that they are all not updating the same record. Does anybody have any idea's of what I can do? If nothing else I am going to have to recreate my form as an unbound form and see how that goes.
Current User Default When Adding A Record
Feb 22, 2005If 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!

View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Warn A User If Record Already Exists?
Dec 2, 2013What is the best way to warn a user if a record already exists?I've looked at some examples that use an SQL SELECT statement with a recordset to compare existing records against the one the user is entering but i'm not sure which event this should be triggered by - eg; would it be the control's 'After Update' ,on 'Dirty' or 'Change' event? Would the record have been saved when the 'After Update' is fired- if not then it would not be found in the recordset and the SQL would not work....
how to create a textbox function that automatically searches and completes the textboxt based on exisitng records (like the cell autocomplete feature in Excel)? This could then populate the form with the existing record fields (if found ) and the user could update the record if necessary?

View 1 Replies View RelatedForm Event To Alert Before User Moves Onto Another Record
Sep 20, 2005Hi,
I have a form with some bound fields and some unbound fields. If I make any change to the bound fields I can use the "Before update" event to perform some actions when a user tries to move onto a new record.
What I now need is if a user doesn't make any change to the bound fields but makes a change to an unbound field - how can I check this before the next record is displayed. Is there any event I can use? Each time a user tries to move to a new record I want to check first if they have added anything to an unbound field.
Users can move onto the next record using buttons or the record navigator at the end of the form.
Many Thanks,
Showing User Who Modified Record On Form View
Dec 29, 2004I used a macro to record the date and time the current record was modified and show that information on a form - the information on how I did that is here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/a...0345351033.aspx
That works wonderfully, however I would like to add to this the user that modified the record.
Is there a macro code for this??
I tried setting the Item to read [UserModified] and the Expression to be User() however that did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanks.
Forms :: Save User Name That Update Record For Multiple Yes / No Box

and so on
So when i look back i can see which user complete which task. I did a bit of research and saw that i can save a user that update a record. But since this is a daily task, each new record will be a new day.
