It's an Access 2003 database which I want authenticated web users to be able to write new records to.
I don't think a Data Access Page is the right way to do this, is it? If something else, e.g. ASP could someone possibly point me in the right direction with steps 1, 2 and 3 :D
how to make my database accessible (read only) on other pcs?
View 7 Replies View Relatedthere is a need to make access database (access 2007) accessible over net. I know Access Database is not web based application. So I want to know if there is any way of making it accessible via net.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible in Access 2007 to make only the Switchboard and / or Forms accessible / visible users and prevent them from making any changes to structures of tables, queries, forms and reports? I want to do this without splitting database preferably. Even if you split database, queries are not protected. Users can still open queries in design mode and fiddle around with them, thus potentially corrupting objects based on them.
thanks
I have a problem with a cleint-Server accessdb that I created and works fine. But rarely (may be once in a week), I get a record lock file (normaly 1kb size) which is not the normal record lock taht appears when the system runs. This file does not get closed even if the db is closed. Also, I can delete it and I can access the db again. when this lock file exists, I cannot access the db.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been fiddling around with the Tools>>Security settings but I can't seem to find a way where only I can make changes to the database and the users can't just use the switchboard. If you are regular user you don't need password but if you are admin you do.
How do I do that?
Hello all!
I have been searching online for the past couple of days for a thorough tutorial that aids the user to make his/her own detailed database based on example data (that does not necessarily have to be adhered to) supplied as the tutorial progresses.
As a student participating in an advanced computing class, I feel that this would benefit me as I can do as the steps ask and see how certain things are done. I am not a complete Access mug... I have a basic knowledge of the fundamentals, but stumbling accross an in-depth tutorial that details all of the standard features (tables, queries, forms etc) along with possibly some example modules would be excellent and beneficial.
All I have found so far is various snippets - "SQL basics" and "Macros: what they do and how to implement them" for example - these miss the bigger picture I am looking for. Surely a step-by-step tutorial on "Designing and working a fully-featured database from the gound up" is not that rare!
Thanks in advance for any help. :)
I have 5 columns in ms access. They are as follows:
date_from, date_to, season_price, normal_price, actual_price.
However, I want to check if the sysdate is greater than date_from and less
than date_to then the value in the actual_price should be taken from the
season price for that record else the value should be taken from normal_price.
So, i would like to know how can do this? do i need to use visual basic?
I have no idea about visual basic. So, would like the complete way to do it.
Thanks
I have built a database and setup my Queeries and Reports and setup my securities. What I want to do is make the Form open from a short cut. I can create the short cut with the security privilages but after the proper name and password is entered I want it to open straight into the Form. How do I get my database to do this?

How to best setup a database (knowledgebase) for use in making various work place hardcopy and electronic intetacive version process checklists that may share some of the same info ?
Eg, checklists for a building dept for how to get permits for different types of buildings that may all require some of the same types of plans and permit application docs, but may also require other plans/docs specific to the particular type of building... but in order to update a requirement in the checklist/s only one database item would need to be changed in order to update all the checklists that include that common item.
Then to carry it one step further... to use the same database to update info publications that may have checklist type information in the narratives about the same building permit requirements.
Hope that makes sense.
Thoughts ?
Where else to look ?
I recently was asked to update a client's BE & FE database.
It seems the client only has a replicated version of the database. I don't have the original Design Master.
Problems with negative autonumbers (it seems are due to replication), made me want to remove all need for replication from the database sets.
I attempted to modify some of the Tables in the BE and keep receiving the same error when I try to save it:
ERROR: "You cannot make changes to the design of the database at this replica"
I haven't found a solution on the forum yet. Any ideas?
I found the Replication part of this Microsoft KB article somewhat helpful: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275561/en-us
Hi all,
I am trying to update a table in a database (Lets call that DbNew). I want that when DbNew form is loaded it automatically updates its underlying table (lets call it TblNew) by running a make table query (called "coversheet") that is located in another database (call that DbOld). DbNew and dbOld are all on a network and I dont have total access on DbOld (but I have created the make table query "coversheet in DbOld).
I should also state that DbNew is bound to TblNew and I am not interested in keeping the old table in DbNew. Information is frequently updated in DbOld and all I am interested in is loading the most current info in DbNew so the current table can be deleted upon loading DbNew and a new one created. Here is what I tried doing and I have it in the form load event of DbNew. This however returns an error (Runtime Error 3010. That TblNew already exists)
Dim db As Database
Set db = OpenDatabase("\networkdbOld.mdb")
db.Execute ("Coversheet")
DoEvents
Set db = Nothing
End Sub
P/S: I am not good at access in anyway I should state.
Thank you for taking the time to read.

I was wondering if it was possible to be able to make changes to a form whilst others are accessing different forms.
At the moment, if i am editing the database any user trying to access the database gets a error warning them, they the database is in admin.
But if another user is in the database while i am trying to change a form / report, i am unable to save.
I no the simple way to do this would be to do changes whilst no-one is in. Its just some minor tweeks need doing during the day.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I've developed a database that was working fine until I split it to use in a network enviroment. The problem is a make-table query that now make it's table in the front end instead of the back-end. I need to run a make-table query because the query uses a custom function which then causes errors when the query is accessed by a web form that I use.
The only way I thought of getting round it was to create a permanent table in the back-end which is cleared every time and an append query used to populate it.
Anybody any other ideas?
Cheers

Is there a way to make the shutter bar be closed on database open?
I already have an autoexec macro to take people to a main menu, but would like to ensure the shutter bar is closed for aesthetics and to keep people away from clicking on something.
I am using Access 2003.I have created a Makle Table Query which gives me the invalid argument error because it makes the database balloon to over 2gb. I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to get the make table query to save data in one database until it reaches say 1.9 gb and then begin saving the rest of the data in another database?
2. Is there a wey to pause or stop a make table query to see the results and then let it run again?
When I launch my Database file, it would normally run some scripts (I don't actually know what they do, the file is not used by me, only colleagues).
Instead i get this error:
The expression On Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Object or class does not support the set of events.
When I click 'OK' another error appears:
The expression On Timer you entered as the even property setting produced the following error: Object or class does not support the set of events.
Once i click 'OK' on this error, another error sometimes occurs:
The expression MouseMove you entered as the even property setting produced the following error: Object or class does not support the set of events.
But strangely enough the third error doesn't occur every time i move the mouse.
After these errors have been closed, all i have is my 'form' with a loading bar. I cant access the actual database. Nor can i get into the Visual Basic to try and find the cause. This is happening to multiple clients of mine, and me personally.
Running Windows 7, Server 2008 (64bit), Windows 7 (64bit)
Running Access 2007 and Access 2010.
I have tried changing permissions on the file, this doesn't work.
So a while back I created a database which I use to keep track of my companies large list of products. It is very simple only 3 tables, 1 query and 1 form. After running into a problem with copying and pasting updates on each computer in the office I decided to split the database on a network drive. This worked for a bit, however I had to add new fields and modify the form, which corrupted the file. Luckily I had a backup before the split.
As far as I could tell all I had to do was modify the backend file and make a new front end. However it seems like it is not as easy as I thought it would be. How do you modify a split database without corrupting the files or using a non-split copy?
I linked table rawdata from a database called competitor from a ODBC Database. I run a query with to make a table with a criteria where it retrieves roughly 10 columns with 719,000 rows. And it gives me this error.
(Cannot open database". It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.
I asked the creator of the database and they said the database grows automatically and it was created with the same Access version as i am using to run the query.
Also when I do a RUN without creating a table and just selecting and displaying the data it does not give me any issues.
I'm currently working with a form, which is in datasheet view. I have many rows which are combo boxes (yes/no), and the name is rather long. So each line (each row) spreads on to 2-3 pages to the right.What I would like to do is make the namebar, on top of every column, a little bit higher, so the name would be split into two lines, or three. Allowing me to make the width allot smaller.Here is an example of my problem:http://213.213.137.96/~terminal/columns.jpgSo my question is, can I change the height of the column name? Or is there some trick I can use?regardsFrímann Kjerúlf
