How can i have multiple people entering data into a database, also there is an excel file that imports the info every few min, if i have that open i cannot enter data into the database. theres going to about 4-5 users plus the excel file.
View RepliesI 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 need to have a field in a database that will calculate the age of a person, based on their DOB. I have it in the excel sheet that I imported into Access to create the data base, but it just copied the number that was already there. When I add new entries into the database, the age isn't calculated. How do I do this?
The forumla I use in my spreadsheet is: =DATEDIF(O2,TODAY(),"y")
I have a shared database and at times the database name changes to db1 when somebody is working on it. It doesn't happen all the time or with specific user.
For example if my database name is Incentive.mdb it will automatically change to db1.mdb when its opened and saved.
I have a VB6 project that connects to a Access database. I get a run time error when I try to copy the database as a backup - "You attempted to open a database that is already opened exclusively..."
I need to be able to copy this database while it is still open. How do I work around this?
Thanks Steven
Hey there, when a user opens my database, I want the form to enter records to automatically open. Can someone plz help with that... thx
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a simple database that is on a desktop that I have a shared folder and have not had issues till now. What would cause it so say, "This database has been opened read-only." Nothing has changed. Only thing my co-worker did was reboot the machine a few days ago.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have an application that copies a mde file local and then runs it under msaccess 2003.
It runs fine as a local administrator when using the application.
When a regular user logs onto the system then it opens with a read only message. It does not create the ldb file.
The mde works fine if launched directly as regular user or as an admin.
This same application works fine on other PCs with anyone logged on.
The application is developed locally but we have lost the source code.
One of the forms in my database has a calculated text box control. The calculation is conditional, one condition being based on current date. One of the queries display that calculation. If the the form with the calcualted control is not opened before running the query, the calculated control uses the day the form was last opened as the "current date" which is not what I want. I want to do one of two things:
Either: (Preferably): update the form everytime the database is opened, so that the current date is actually the current date and not when the form in question was last opened.
Or: Update the form first before the query in question is run. This is not preferred because, if I use the calculated control in another query or something, I have to have another "update" step.
We have a database on a PC located on our network. The database is located in this computer's shared folder. Another database grabs data from this database occasionally. We're running into a problem where we cannot open the DB located in the shared folder (permissions granted) without it being a read only instance even with no users accessing the DB.

Hi,
I've set up a database and set up User-Level security for each user.
While they are entering data, can I go in and change some items in design view?

I have a table where 4 different people enter their amount of work sheets they complete each day via a form. Each person could have a different total each day. Example:
AJ=5
CH=10
MH=7
CA=3
Each person will have a entry for each work day of the month.
I am creating a query that needs to show each persons total for a month. I know how to get the month but how can I total each persons page count all together and then separately? Example:
All four combined total page count
AJ Page count individually
CH page count individually
MH page count individually
Ca page count individually
Thanks for all help
I'm undecided in what I should to to track what an employee does for the day. Currently employees have a 5X7 index card which is printed out fields and they fill it in by hand and turn it in.
Instead of the employees doing this I want to record all of this information in the database.
These are the fields that I will include:
EmployeeName, Book, WorkType, WorkEffort, StartPage, EndPage, StartTime, EndTime, TotalPgsWorked, Comments.
Should I bound all of these fields to the tblWorkLog or should a create unbound fields and create an append query which will add these fields to the table.
I don't want the users to enter their own start time and end time as they might not record it accurately.
Should the time be recorded this way: Have the user open the form, when the form opens that will record the start time. Have the user have the form remained open until the end of the day or when he or she finishes through out the day. When the form is closed that will record the end time.
What is an alternative of doing that though? Have the user open the form record all the info and have the startime recorded. Exit out of the database, when they finish their work, open the database go back to that record and record the end time?
My problem here would be there is no uniqe ID. The user can work on a Book for a week, and can also work on multiple books on the same day. How would they know which record to open.
I'm uncertain how to lay this out and begin it any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Hi all ,

Have a field called cust_age ( Number )
Went to Madules / New / then add this code,
Public Function Age(dteDOB As Date, Optional SpecDate As Variant) As Integer
Dim dteBase As Date, cust_age As Date, cust_birthday As Integer
If IsMissing(SpecDate) Then
dteBase = Date
Else
dteBase = SpecDate
End If
cust_birthday = DateDiff("yyyy", dteDOB, dteBase)
cust_age = DateSerial(Year(dteBase), Month(dteDOB), Day(dteDOB))
Age = cust_birthday + (dteBase < cust_age)
End Function
Not Working get no return. Can someone help me. Thank You if you can….

I have a form where one person wil insert a new record and click on a button that will display his login name and date she/he inserted the new record. A second person will later check if everything was entered correctly and this person will also press a button that will insert his login name and date in a field.The thing is that the same person can't do the quality check and insert the new record. So if in the field "PersonPassQA" is filled in and the person will do the same in "PersonQA", she/he should get a warning and the field should stay empty. This is the code I use to pass the PersonPassQA:
Code:
Private Sub Command24_Click()
'Date pass to QA and person passing to QA
Me.[DatePassedQA] = Date
Me.[PersonPassQA] = Environ("Username")
Me.Refresh
End Sub

Hello all,
I'm new here so hello everybody.
Ok, I'm pretty new to Access '97 and so I have a problem already.
I want to make an adres database. I want to make the adres central and link the persons to that adres, so that i can have multiple persons on the same adres. I created an adres table and a person table, but how do I link the person to the adres???
Hello,
I'm creating a simple relational database of all the attorneys our company work with. I'd like to have three tables: "Law Firms" (firm name & other info), "Attorneys" (what firm, personal info, and what practice groups s/he is involved in), and lastly "Practice Areas" (all different practice areas with codes).
Now, my issue is that people are usually involved in multiple practice areas. Thus, I can't just put a code for one practice area in "Attorneys" table, but I can't put multiple codes in either in one field (right?) because it'd mess up the relations.
What I'd like to accomplish is for people to be able to go to our intranet and, using a form (?), select a law firm and a practice group and get a list of attorneys.
Does anyone know of a good way to solve this? It doesn't have to be pretty, since the DB isn't going to be huge (2000-2500 records).
Thank you!
Hi
I have a DB for students.
I'm making notes each time we've had a chat.
Is there a possibillity to make a relationsship between 2 tables so I can make multiple records for one person? (or any other way)
For ex. 03-04-06 there were a couple of things I wrote down.
and 03-06-06 there were some other things I wrote down about the same person.
and then I will be able to backtrack this information
How do I do this.

How to concatenate a number of fields from a table into a query.
The fields are:
Prefix
Firstname
MiddleInitial
MiddleInitial2
MiddleInitial3
Surname
Note that there will be varying combinations: some people will have a Prefix, Firstname then surname (no middle initials), so I would want to display "Mr Joe Bloggs". But others could have no Prefix but two middle initials, so "Joe P J Bloggs".
I have a search form built that depending on the dropdown selection on the form, it will run a query to SQL Server 2008 and provide data. There are 5 SQL Server db's so there are 5 different queries. I have each SQL Server linked to the Access DB. When I moved to someones else's computer I got a ODBC Call Failed message. In order to fix this, I had to recreate the links on that person's machine, then change the SQL code in the query with the new name of the linked DB.

what I'm doing wrong?
I have a daily attendance tracking of 100 staff, and would like to be able to find out who was missing in particular date by running a query.
I have two tables
1) List of staff members (Name and Dept)
2) Daily log of who attended (Date, Name, Dept etc.)
I enter personnel data into a table through a form. The same person may have multiple records in the table. With each record there are yes/no boxes to be checked if that person is verified at a certain station. Let's say PERSON A has six records in the table. Let's say on one of those records he has StaPrimary yes/no box checked (or true).
I need a query to do the following: My query is to find out if any person listed in the table does not have any StaPrimary yes/no boxes checked. My dilemma is when I do the query if Person A has six records and one of the records has the StaPrimary yes/no box checked his name will still show up in the query because he has other recrods with the StaPrimary yes/no box not checked. I want to check all of each persons records in the table and if they have one StaPrimary yes/no box checked I do not want there name to show up in the query. How do I do that?
Thanks for your help
