I want to allow users of a database to view data through a form but not to edit or delete it. I have set Allows Edits, Deletes and Additions to "No", but this causes the record-finding combo box I have to search for records to stop working. It works again if I enable Allow Edits, but then users can edit the data through the rest of the form. Is there a way I can allow edits to the combo box but not the rest of the form?

I have a simple split form with datasheet on the bottom and a couple of comboboxes (unbound) on the form header which the user can use for filtering the data. When some users open the form the allowedit property of the form is set to false, because those users can only view the records. But the result is that also the comboboxes cannot be set, hence no filtering!

I made a little Access app for a friend, to do his invoices. Access wouldn't allow me to copy the db to a CD, but advised me to convert it to a Master. I followed all the instructions (honest!). Afterwards, I could burn his db to a CD and, on his computer, it opened but wouldn't allow edits or new records - not terribly helpful for an invoicing program :eek:
Since then I've tried creating a new admin in his name, re-setting all permissions, blah blah ... Basically, it looks like there is loads of help on securing a database but very little on un-securing it enough to be transferred to another PC!
The dang thing persists in allowing everything except edits & additions :confused:
I can't find out how to convert it back from a Master to ... what, a slave? :p
Even so, that wouldn't be the answer coz I'd be back at square1.
I use a PC running XP and Office 2003. My invoice-less friend has a PC with Win[NT]2000 and Office 2000. I converted the database to Access 2000. I am way out my depth here, but hoping you Access swimmers will be able to advise :cool:

Hello,
I have a db where a planner inputs a commit date. The problem lately, is that the commit changes day to day before the part if filled. Management is looking for a way to count the number of times a commit field has been updated? Is there a better way to do this? I have minimal VB knowledge. Please help!
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I designed and distributed a database client to a bunch of users. They have asked me to password-protect it so that anyone can open the database and view the forms, but a password is needed to actually make any updates. I am trying to do this, but everything in Tools--Security is making my head spin. I have actually already managed to somehow lock myself out of my own database, although I have another copy.
How do I set the Workgroup Administrator Files so that they apply to anyone? It wants to put a separate file on my C: drive, but I don't use this database, I distribute it to people who do. (The server is on a share drive, can I put the Workgroup file(s) there?)
What settings do I modify to require *anyone* to need a password to update? Or is that even possible? I don't really want to break up the users into different categories.
If anyone could walk me through this process I would really, really appreciate it.
I have 2 related tables. The form to enter new data into the tables is set up with a subform for the second table. I want to allow the user to query for a specific record, have it display in a form that looks exactly like the data entry form, and be able to update the tables from that. I first tried an exact copy of the data entry form, using a subform for the second table. It allows me to update the 2nd table from the query results displayed, but won't allow updates to the main form. So then I tried just doing one form with all the results displayed, no subform, but then it won't allow me to update ANYTHING.
What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all,
I have a form that is used to Enter and Edit records. At the end of a record is a "shipped Date". This is blank until the item ships. I want to make the entire record editable up until a date gets placed in this field. Is this possible? and can editing of the record still be done maybe at the table level?
Thanks
hi,
can anyone tell me how to stop additions and edits on a particular record in a form, plus the subform that the main form contains,
im trying to put the event behind the change of a text box, shipped date, so when its changed you cant add or edit the record which is the order.
cant anyone point me in the right direction?
cheers
Greeting,
I am still struggling with my sub-form.
Have managed to prevent edit by using the form properties.
However I have some fields which have to be updated after the form has been closed.
I tried putting the following code in the (Before Update Event) of date issued field for instance.
If Me![DateIssued]=Null then
Me![DateIssued].Locked=False
end if
Needless to say this didn't help.
I have some fields which cannot be filled in until a later date.
These are job records so I have date open, Technician name date completed plus a whole herd of other stuff which has to be filled in as the job progresses.
Any help will be most appreciated,
Brian.

I have a form which was locked down (ie Allow additions, allow edit and allow deletions were all set to no) on the Form property. I want to change this to allow edits so in design mode I changed the Allow Edits property to Yes.
I then went to Form view and was able to update fields on the form. When I exited the form it asked me if I wanted to save the changes so I clicked yes.
On going back into the form I can no longer update the fields I could before. Going into design mode I can see that Allow edits on the form property is set to no again.
What is happening here. There is nothing in the on load or other events to set this to no, besides this shouldn't change the form property should it?
I know I can get around it my setting the property in the form itself but why is the property getting reset in the first place.

Is updating two tables from a two-table query not allowed or???
Thanks,
I have a form called Contacts that has two tabs. One is called General adn the other Calls.
In the General tab I have a bound field called CustomerIDdet which can be numeric or alphanumeric. I need to disable edits in the General tab but not in the Calls tab if CustomerIDdet is numeric (and it follows certain additional rules)
I have placed this code in the Onload even for the form:
Code:
If Len(CustomerIDdet) = 9 Then
If IsNumeric(CustomerIDdet) Then
If Right(CustomerIDdet, 4) = 9090 Then
If Left(CustomerIDdet, 1) = 0 Then
'disable editing in the General tab
End If
End If
End If
End If
I know how to disable edits control by control, but can I disable edits in all controls in that tab at once?
So I have a form that allows me to view the information associated with a specific record. Within this form is also a subform that shows additional information about the record from a junction table. I want to create a button that allows me to edit the information on both forms.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created an ACL table (access control list) where I have the fields UserID,FormName,CanSee and CanEdit.
When the user opens the db, the on open event gets the LoggedOnUserName and then check my ACL table to either prevent viewing or editing.
I have got the prevent viewing part working, but am having a small problem with the prevent edits.
I can set the property to prevent edits, but i need the user to be able to search records. the combo box is disabled if I use the following code.
MyCount = DCount("User_ID", "dbo_NPY_ACL_User", "(dbo_NPY_ACL_User.User_ID)=" & MyUserId & " AND ((dbo_NPY_ACL_User.CanEdit)=False) AND ((dbo_NPY_ACL_User.NavBtn_ID)=" & MyTab & ")")

Me.AllowEdits = False

i have a form that has a record source
Code:
SELECT tblClientDetails.FirstName, tblClientDetails.Surname,
tblClientDetails.MobileTelephoneNumber, tblClientDetails.SentTextMarketing
FROM (tblCategories INNER JOIN tblItems ON tblCategories.CategoriesID = tblItems.CategoriesID)
INNER JOIN ((tblClientDetails INNER JOIN tblOrders
[Code] .....
this does not allow edits on a continuous form. the edit i am trying to do is the check box. it will allow edits if the grouping is not on but if it is not on then i will get many duplicates of client details.
so how do i set it up to allow edits but still only get one instance of each client detail.
I'm creating a database about Vets and I need to make a button on my menu form that will open something like message box that will allow me to type in something (in my case Customer ID) which will then apply the filter on the customer form and allow me to do edits. I have only done the macro that will open the customer form but can't figure out how to do the filter part.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI thought "Undo" was only available while in the current record.Here were my steps:
1 - Loaded form that shows 1 record per form page.
2 - Edited a record
3 - Moved to another record with status bar nav arrow
4 - Verified my edit was in the underlying table
5 - Moved back to the original record, again using status bar nav arrow
