We have 11 computers on the network. One has an Access back end file. When we try to open this file via the network some of the computers can open it others get the follwing message.
"Microsoft Access cannot open this File
This file is located outside your intranet or
on an untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not
open the file due to potential security problems.
To open the file copy it to your machine or an
accessible network location."
Do not understand why all the coputers cannot open the same access database file. Please Help Regards Keith
I was using the database when there was a network error and I had to close it. When I tried to reopen it I got the error message: Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'MSysAccessObjects'. I logged off the PC and logged back on various others, but keep getting the same message. Can anyone tell me if this is terminal or is there a way around it. I do have a backup, but it's a few days old and a lot of work will need re-entering' so any help would be appreciated!!
We have an old Access 2000 db that is used by most of the company. I also have users who use it via a windows 2003 terminal server. I just created a new win 2008 remote desktop server and installed Access 2000 (What a pain that was).
Now from access, if I go to fileopen, navigate to the DB server and open the DB, it works fine. If I create a shortcut to the database on the desktop of the remote server, nothing happens. No error, no warning, no nothing. It's weird.
If I place a copy of the db locally, it opens just fine.I also tried mapping a drive to the db server and then made another shortcut and still nothing. I also created a shortcut and entered the path like this:
Might be a stupid question as I know a lot of access but it's the first time I'm doing this: What's the easiest way to deploy an access database (mdb) on a domain network to clients?
I want to link an excel sheet to my database but I dont want to link the location with a drive letter but instead linking the network address. How can this be achieved?
In addition, I want to startup application with a command line in a access macro and used this line but it doesnt work.

I have designed a database which I intend to split for multi-users to access from one front end icon on a shared folder at work. I have designed a form bound to cmr record table and on it a subform to another table where cmrs activities will be saved. The form has buttons to and blank controls.
User can create a new activity entry by typing into the blank controls and pressing the save button which saves to the activity table. the edit button extracts a selected records details (selected on the subform) from the activity table and populates the blank field for a user to edit and then hit save to save changes. The delete button deletes a selected record from the activity table. I intend to have multi-users either accessing, viewing and a possibly editing the same customer at the same time. The simultaneous viewing is essential but the simultaneous editing, though not desired is inevitably going to occur.
What I would like to know is:
1. Can you lock an individual record in a table or does the whole table have to be locked. E.g If Colleague 1 is editing Cmr A's record in Table1 can he lock it so Colleague 2 can view and edit Cmr B's record in Table1
2.Can Colleague 1 access/read Cmr A's record in Table1 to retrieve details toe the form controls if Colleague 2 is viewing or editing Cmr A's record in Table1
3. If record lock is possible, how can I initiate it in my example code below.Edit activity record Code
Code: Private Sub Edit_A_Click() 'Get Data to text box control With Me.R_P_Data_P_Subfrm.Form Me.txtrID = !rID Me.txtrID.Tag = !rID Me.txtrefNo = !refNo Me.cmbrpc = !rPC
Hello. I haven't seen this before with Access; I've searched the forum and haven't found anything yet...
I have an Access database that was being used by about 9 different people. Everything was going along okay, but one day it became read-only for no reason. Once everyone got out of the DB it said it needed repairing. So with only one person in I ran the repair, but the horror-inducing message "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time." appears and when I click "OK" on the message nothing happens whatsoever.
Luckily backups existed, but some data was lost. Is there anyway to run a repair on the database that won't open? Or is it a lost cause?
I have a user who is having trouble opening a database he created. Here is his description. I am having an issue with Access that has occurred today and once several weeks ago.
First, I build a complex database for Safeway report. It functions correctly, I can access it from excel.
Problem, I go to update or modify the databases, Access gives me the macro message which I override.
The access database window will not open, no error appears, just a blank access screen with tool bars above. I have tempted to do a compact and repair of the database which did not help.
Microsoft Online help says the issue can be cause by old Anti Virus Software.
The database will permit excel to pull data from it. Does anybody have an answer.
I've inherited a database and I need to export the data to a new program. I can access the DB through a front-end program, but it doesn’t give an option to export the data. I have a username/password for the program, but I can’t open the DB in access. I can't even get to the point of entering a password. The program is 8 years old and the company has been acquired by another company. I tried contacting the new company and they’ve never heard of the version that I have. I’ve even tried contacting a supervisor.
On opening the db immediately gives the error:
“You do not have the necessary permissions to use the ‘C:.....mdb’ object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you.”
I’ve tried the following with no luck:
1. Create a shortcut to use an alternate mdw file. "C:XXXMSACCESS.EXE" "C:XXXdata.mdb" /WRKGRP "C:XXXSystem.mdw" 2. Holding down the shift key while opening the file 3. Compact and repair 4. Converting it to prior version 5. Creating a new database and importing all objects
Is there a way to "read" the db file to see if there is a valid user name?
I found the following suggestion, but have no idea how to do it:
http://www.vba-programmer.com/Access_Code/List_Groups_Users.txt and this http://www.vba-programmer.com/Access_Code/Security_Listing_Permissions.txt and try the .mdw files again, using the users(and/or groups) that have permission
If it's still not working?, there might be a way to jerry these http://www.vba-programmer.com/Access_Code/Security_User_to_Group.txt http://www.vba-programmer.com/Access_Code/Security_Group_Account.txt http://www.vba-programmer.com/Access_Code/Security_User_Account.txt
I'm not a programmer so if anyone has any easy solutions (or even better a sample!) I’d greatly appreciate the help!
If I already have an Access database open (sometimes I've forgotten about it), when I try to open another one from my desktop, it maximizes the first Access window, and then my computer freezes--I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL and close both of them through Task Manager to continue.
I have never seen this happen on anyone else's computer. Does anyone know what is causing the problem? It is not any one database; the problem occurs no matter which are opened.
I have an access database which is shared, I can open it on 2 pcs at the same time no problem. I also have an html and asp page which is used to add recoreds to the database, this works fine if the database is closed everywhere else but this cannot be the case. I am now desperate for answer to any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached the asp file, I can upload all files and database to a server if someone requires them (too big for the forum).
Greetings. When I create an Access database on my company's "secure" server (through a PIX box), I get this message in a dialog box when I try to open the database again: "Open File - Security Warning. Do you want to open this file?" It then gives the file Name, Publisher (unknown publisher), Type (Microsoft Office Access Application), and From (the file path and name). The bottom of the dialog box has this message: "While files from the Internet can be useful, this file type can potentially harm your computer. If you do not trust the source, do not open this software." When I click on the "Open" command button, the file opens just fine.
There are a couple of things going on here:
1) When I open this same database or any other Access database on another of my company's servers that is not protected by a PIX box, I do not get this dialog box.
2) When two users try to access an MS Access database on the "secure" server, the first user will get in, but the second user will not. The second user will not get ANY warning messages -- nothing happens. This occurs if the second user tries to open the database by either double-clicking on a shortcut on the desktop or by double-clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer. Note that the second user CAN access the same file if s/he starts up MS Access from scratch, and then chooses FILE>OPEN from the main menu.
My goal is to be able to let multiple users access the MS Access databases on the secure server by either double-clicking on the shortcut icon or by double-clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer.
I thought perhaps that the "unknown publisher" issue might be part of the problem on the secure server. So I created a certificate using the utility "SELFCERT", went into the database, went into Visual Basic (Ctrl-G), went into TOOLS>DIGITAL SIGNATURE and assigned the digital signature, and re-saved the file. I then exited the file, went back in, and the dialog box still pops up saying the file's publisher is "unknown publisher"! If I go back into Visual Basic, the database is clearly marked as digitially signed by me. I don't know why the initial dialog box is still showing that the file is not digitally signed.
If anyone has any thoughts about these issues (multiple users not being able to access the same Access database, and why my file is saying it is still not digitally signed), I would appreciate your input. FYI, I am on a Windows XP workstation and our company users Windows Servers.
I have created a database in Access 2010 and I am not able to open the same database in Access 2007. I have read somewhere that it is possible to open. I get the message, " Unrecognized database format". In Access options, the default file format is, "Access 2007".
I have two pc,s hooked up as a workgroup network( no server) I have a database on one of the pc,s and when I open the database in the other pc it says that it is "read only". So I cant enter new records.
is there any way to use a same database in a network that if i entered some entery and some body else entered another entery it will show all data entered by every people in everyone's computer ?!
I need to open an Excel file that has been stored in the Access Database using the insert Object functionality of MS Access manually.
What i am aware of is that i cant just read the field containing the Excel File into a Byte Array and pass it to the Excel object in C#,as the file is wrapped in the OLE Wrapper used by Access while inserting the file in database.
I have tried locating the Header of Excel file from the byte array and read the file from there on but it is not working.
while (true) { if (0xE11AB1A1E011CFD0 == BitConverter.ToUInt64(byStream, i)) break; i++; } output.Write(byStream, i, byStream.Length - i-1);
byStream is a byte array into which i have read the Excel file from Database. I am locating the Excel file header in the byte stream and am writing the byte array to a file from that location.But on opening the written file it dosent work. Similar approach had worked in case of Images but now in this case.
Can some one please tell me as to how i can open the Excel File. Can I use Interop.Access object to achieve the goal??
I want to hide the top toolbars when my users open my database in Access 2007! i have an autoexec macro to maximise the window which gets rid of the navigation bar on the side but cant work out how to hide the top bar? do i need to write code? if so what code and where would i input it.. any help would be much appreciated...
I have MS access database. The database is password encrypted. I do not own this database but it is critical for me to see the contens of this database. I do not want to edit the contents.
I want to ask is there any way to open another access database using when click button at form.. For example i have tracking.accb then at my switchboard form, i would like to have a button that can go to another access which is borrow.accb. Can these possible for me to do it..?
The client wants it across a network but insists they do not want it split! They want it in a shared drive which everyone has access to via a shortcut.
The database is secured so I presume the Workgroup file will have to be on each PC and a shortcut to the one database on the server which is in a shared mode. Would the security I have implemented still work or would I have to de-secure so everyone has the same level of access.
They do not have Access on all PC's. IFor this to work I presume Access is needed both on the server and PC's
I understand if I purchase Microsoft Access Developers 2000 it has a feature where I can distribute a database to users without Access? However, am I right in assuming this needs the database to be split.
In the UK are there any suggestions on where I can buy Microsoft Access Developers 2000 ?
