I have multiple users entering data on bound forms. I have three required fields, all in the first 3 fields of the form. My question is, can I program something to where Access will update the record, after the 3rd required field, so that other users are not having to wait to enter there new record?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am developing a small database for use in a multi-user environment: I have split the tables off and am testing with two copies of the front-end on different machines. All seems to work well except on one form.
On this form, the value of a bound control (exposed as a number of radio buttons) is used to make related controls on the form visible or invisible. I use the AfterUpdate event to trigger appropriate VBA code to accomplish this; it works well.
However if two users have the same form open at the same record (unlikely, but not impossible), and User A changes the value of the control via the radio buttons, Access will eventually propagate the change to User B's copy of the form but the AfterUpdate event will not be triggered and the form becomes inconsistent. I understand that events are only triggered when a user makes a change to a control; how can I be alerted when Access makes a change?
Hi,
I need to allow my MDB to have 15 users accessing at the same time. They will be updating different parts of the same table using different forms. The system will also do an automatic update from another system in 15 mins interval.
Is it possible? If so, how do I configure my access database?
Please help.
Thanks!!!
1) I develop my application(Ms-Access 2k) and put into company network directory.
2) The problem here is only 1 user allow to access per time.
3) Is there any setting I miss out?
I'm in the process of rolling out a new database that will require some data entry from approximately 35 users.
I have been told that database corruption WILL (not might) occur if more than one user is in the database at a time, which I find hard to believe. I was told that if multiple users who have different permissions levels are in the DB at the same time, this will cause corruption.
Has anyone heard anything like this?
Also, there will only be one or two forms that my users will be using for data entry. The rest is report running. If I set the value Record Locks on the form to EDITED RECORD, will this prevent corruption?
Any input you could provide is very much appreciated. I haven't been able to find any info specific to this issue.
I have a Access data base (2007) which i splitted and store the back end database in a file server where all users have full control and the individual copies of front end put in the users computers. Unfortunately when one user is using the programme, others can not use. Following error msg appears. Both back end and front end are running under shared mode ( not exclusive ).
"Could not use xxxxxx_Be.accdb; file already in use."
I have a problem in multi user enviroment, with finding and locking a record in database.When one user finds, blocks and edit record ... another user in the same time can find the same record and overwrite it (User and Status values). It is just like he didn't see the changes making by another user.Each user have a copy of the front-end, back-end is on the shared disk.Here is the code to find new record:
Code:
...
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblTable1", dbOpenDynaset)
rs.FindFirst "[Status]='New' And [User] Is Null"
ws.BeginTrans
rs.LockEdits = True
rs.Edit
rs![User] = username
rs![Status] = "Assigned"
rs.Update
ws.CommitTrans
rs.Close
I currently have the following setup for my database which is working as desired when only being used by one user at a time:
Front end: Access 2010 database in Citrix
Back end: SharePoint List
The problem is that only one user can open the Access Database at a time since this action locks the database for other potential users. The locking occurs due to this link to the back end SharePoint list.
allow multiple users to update the SharePoint list through the access database at the same time?

I've managed to create a multi-user login form with macro.
user1 is able to login with his password and user2 is able to login with his password. latter I noticed that user1 is able to login with any password in the table and use his previous password to login even after changing it.
I am working on a db for a restaurant expense account. I am trying to design a multi-user login form to allow administrator and other users to log in the data entry form. I am a newbie to MS Access.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two listboxes. One for Activities and the other for Organizations.
I set the Org listbox to be multi-select so I could run a loop on that listbox to join multiple Orgs to a single Activity. That part works well.
To do so, I am using the bound column (which is the pkey value) from the multi select listbox, and on the single select listbox I'm using the ListboxName.value to gather the pkey for the "1" side of this 1:Many series of inserts.
Now... I want to use one of the other-than-bound-column value from the multi-select listbox, but I don't know how. When setting a value I only know of the use of :
Code:
ListBoxOrganizations.ItemData(varItem)
and I don't know how to do the equivalent of
Code:
ListBoxOrganizations.ItemData(varItem's column(2).value)
yes, I just made that up, but I hope you get the point. Meaning, as the loop cruises the ItemsSelected on the multiselect I'd like to use other than the bound column when setting variables.
I've tried using the column property to then cruise to the proper record in the listbox, e.g. :
[code]
txtCollaborationDesc = "Collaborate " & ListBoxOrganizations.Column(2, varItem) & " with " & listboxActivities.Column(2)
[code]
But this seems to return the column(2) value of the first record loaded into the list box, as if the varItem piece is being ignored. I believe the loop is working properly, as when the inserts are happening correctly with the bound column of the multi-select list is correctly present as an Fkey in the resulting child records.
I just can't get any other column's value for some reason.
MS Access 2010 and this is an accdb.
So I have a list box that lists organizations. I recently changed the list box type to extended multi select. On the same form, I have a button that opens a new form where the user can input contacts for each organization. When the list box was not multi select, the expression [forms]![media]!
[List30] made the default value of one of the fields in my contact form the bound column from the selection in the list box. However, now that the list box is multi select, the contact input form does not seem to be able to get the value from the bound column in the list box. When multi select is turned on, is the bound column stored differently.
To even get the contact input button to work, I had to change the code from:
Private Sub Command40_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command40_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Contactsqry"
stLinkCriteria = "[Organization ID]=" & Me.List30
[Code] .....
Hi 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?

I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.
I have read a lot about if multiple users want to share an MDB, they have to create BE and FE and split the database.
I understand having to do that if all those users want to write to the MDB simultaneously.
I have a situation where one person will do data entry (write access), and two other users will just want to view and perhaps just search the database (read).
If only one person is writing at any time, do I have to do all that splitting and FE/BE configuration?
I've create a form with subform that work like a charm, now they want in a multi user environment. What is the best way to achive this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI plan to create a multi-user application on access 2000. There would be more than 20 users simultaneously logging in the database. The database would be kept in Server with high config. The users would work on the database (server) from their workstations. Forms/Queries/Reports ... are in the workstation (client). The database may growup to 70 MB every 3 months. The application will run on the database for 3 months which will be replaced with a new one after that period. Is it a good plan to do so on Access 2000. Am worried about the network traffic. Will the users face it as a very slow application ???

Hi
If I want several users to access a database from their network pc's, should I place the access database .mdb file on the server and set the Sharing properties, then install the access application on each of their stations.
They need to each be able to use the database when they need to and read or add data, reports etc.
I am using access 2003.
Thanks

I maintain a database that is used by several people in my office. Only about 4 different people actually use the database but I would like the database to have multi-user support. As of right now the tables, forms, modules, etc. are all in a single mdb file. Can someone recommend a method for making this database accessible to several users at once? My main concerns are accuracy (changes commiting in the proper order) and low chance of corruption.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHey everyone,
I am in desperate need of your help. I have a split database that I am trying to enable multi users access to the database. I created a folder on the share drive with the front end and a folder on share (BEN) with the backend. I have changed the settings via options, advanced options, and checked that shared box however it will still not allow everyone into the database at the same time. Is there something that I am missing? Should I then right click and copy and paste the front end to local PC since the tables are split and still on the share drive???? I plan on using security in the future will this cause a problem???Thanks
I would like your opinion on this; I have a ms access database that will be used in a multi-user environment, across different Teams. Data will be loaded from text files several times a day in a MS Access table, users will retrieve the data from the tables and displayed in a form. Their job will be to add comments and select drop down boxes for actions they have taken. Since the data is downloaded in the tables and retrieved from the user instead of the user keying in the data from scratch I would like to know how to best design this. I’m thinking of having a query run to display the data in the user form but is there a way that I can have the data refreshed every so often so that users can be presented with the new records that are being downloaded. What best practice should I use to avoid conflicts like example splitting the database or using record locking options
Any help is appreciated! Thanks
:Hi,
At the moment I'm writing a production database for work, which include parts in/out, production planning, kitting lists and other forms. What I'm after is a way that when the database opens it asks for a password and depending what it is, is what you can do. Administrator can do all, Stores can only enter parts and scheduler can only enter planning and so on.
How easy is this? :o
Hello Everyone! I have a project that is driving me crazy!! :mad:
I have a form on a database that retrieves data from a query; this database is in a multi-user environment. What I am trying to accomplish is to allow the form to bring up the next available record that has not/or is NOT being worked on yet. The form I built does a re-query every time the user goes to the next record and looks for anything that has not been worked on yet. It does this by looking at the timestamp the user has placed once completed the record on the form. I also placed my record locking option to Edited Record. However when the users sign on simultaneously they still get the same item on their screen. Is there a way to create some sort of locking mechanism that would allow the form to display to the user the next available record that has not been or is not being worked on by a user at this time? Theoretically I am looking at something like this: Once a user opens the form and the record is displayed on the screen, lock the record and avoid any user from viewing or editing this record. All other users should be directed to the next available record, every time the user hits the next button move to the next available unlocked record and immediately lock it from viewing or editing from everyone else.
I appreciate any help you can provide me on this!!
Hi everyone,
can anybody help me on this. I have two PCs connected and i am trying to execute an Access file from the client PC. This appears to be possible but the problem is that i cant save any new record and Active X or OLE seems to be the problem according to the message box appeared when i execute a form. The file works normally when executed from the server.
Any ideas?
It appears that the problem comes when Vba Code is executed for example i can save records from the tables but not from the forms where VBA code is attached
