DAPs For Users
Oct 6, 2005What the user front-ends required in order to run/view my DAPs that put on the web?
Do they really need to have Access installed (any versions is OK?) ....
or anything else?
Thanks

Help With DAPs
Aug 12, 2005Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble with Data access pages.
I have a simple database with customer and orders. right now I have a Data access page (DAP) where I can pull down the customer Name and it will show me all of the orders that customer has.
But If I make a brand new customer with no orders and I go to my DAP for my orders. When I use the "group filter control" dropdown menu for the customer ID, the dropdown menu only contains customer ID's of customers who have orders.
for example, say here's my orders:
Jess - 2 orders
James - 5 orders
Jen - 0 orders
When I go to the orders page, I pull down the name dropdown and all I will see is Jess and James. But If I want to make a new order for Jen - its impossible. How can I make that dropdown show Jen's name?
Thanks
Jenny :)
VBA In DAPs
Oct 9, 2005Is it possible type/run VBA (like calling Docmd, etc.) in Data Access Pages (in Script Editor) ?
If so, any example of code ?
Thanks
Question About: A Table Of Users Who Have Relationships To Other Users??
Feb 21, 2006Hi,
I have a table of users somthing like this:
User_ID
Name
Hobby
Favorite_Food
Blah
Blah
Blah
Users can be friends with one another and I need some way of logging this.
My 2 options (that i can see) are:
1) Putting a friends entry in the main user table then comma delimiting the User_ID's in the friend entry like so:
User_ID: 001
Name: John
Hobby: Frizbee
Favorite_Food: Cake
Friends: 002,004,010
2) Making a seperate table with multiple entries for each user like so:
User: 001
Friend 002
---
User: 001
Friend: 004
---
User: 001
Friend: 010
---
User: 002
Friend: 001
---
User: 004
Friend: 001
---
User: 010
Friend: 001
---
The database has to be handled by a web service and/or a web appliction making the comma delimited option occupy more server time breaking down the string into usable user_ID's.
But (and this is probably my actual problem) if i was to impliment my second idea, I'm not sure what I should make the tables primary key or the best way to relate it to the main user table.
My initial thought is to just have a, technicaly useless, ID be the primary key and impliment a one(User) to many(friends entries) relationship... but im a bit of an access n00b so thought i better come ask for some advice.
Thanks.
Multiple Users
May 9, 2005All,
I have database with user level security that works fine, but I have asked to place this database onto our secured network which means multiple users could have it open at any given time.
How can I setup this database to allow multiple users? I am very, very green at Access. Please don't say split the database...please! :eek:

Aug 18, 2005Hi,
I am trying to create a database that MULTIPLE users can log on and view the data.
Eg. I have a client list and have employed 5 ppl to call each one of my clients and confirm their details.
I have imported all the details into a table and just want users to simulataneously log on and click a "next record" button that will bring up the next "new" record with the details displayed on a form. of course the database will flag this record as "old" and which user called them.
Main thing is 5+ computers can connect to this database simultaneously and no record gets displayed more than once.
Can MS Access do this?
if it cant, would a vb front end located on each computer help?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Track Changes By Users

Feb 19, 2007Hey guys,
I'm curious to know if it is possible to kick users off your db so you can make changes. Is it possible to send them a message to save and close within 30 seconds, or just send them a messgae. I guess I want to know whether I can
1) Kick a user off
2) Send them a message
3) Send a user a message and then kick them off

Users And Passwords
Feb 12, 2008This is probably a really easy thing to do but I need to set up users and passwords to access a database that will contain sensitive information so cannot be accessible to everyone.
Can someone please tell me an easy step-by-step way on how to do this, with multiple users allowed to add and edit information (but not the workings of tables, queries etc)?
I am pretty much self taught so nothing too technical if possible!!
Also, the user's name needs to be input into an "Entered By" field in a form automatically depending on who has logged in when a new record is created.
Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Too Many Active Users
Mar 9, 2008Hi Again guys,
I have a database application, front end on the local machines, back end on a server (it happens to be a mac server, but still works). Recently we upgraded to Access2007 on all systems, but left the backend in 2000 format. Ever since then we have been having issues with our users getting told "Too Many Active Users" when they try and access the backend. If all users disconnect and the reconnect it seems to be fine for a while, then after sometime it does it again. I assume it has something to do with the ldb file on the backend. It worked fine in 2003, now I am stumped. It possibly has something to do with permissions but I have no idea what.
Thanks for any help.

Mar 21, 2008Hi all, o.k prior to a previous message i have been back to my manager and informed him that there is no way of updating effectivly via email.
o.k first i will tell you what we will have:
Three networked pc's running xp prof, and access 2003.
Now what i want is to be able to have my database running as a server on one machine and have the two other machines running the same database simultaniously all of them updating.
Now what i need, i dont want to have the work done for me, just if someone could point me in the right direction, maybe one or two tutorials, any pitfalls i may find etc.
thanks in advance..

Oct 10, 2006I am building a database which will be used by around 30 people at the same time. When telephone calls come in they will log the details.
I dont need anything to explicit.
I have one table, around six queries and 3 reports.
I will be using one form with a save button and next record button and a switchboard.
The users will log on at the same time and will log all telephone calls thoughout the day.
Will the database work with so many people using it at the same time or do I have to change the properties.
Allow End Users To Access QBE?
Aug 30, 2006I searched and doesn't seem to find anything about that question.
I am aware that there are forms that help with building dynamic queries for end users who need to juggle their data, but wondered if allowing them to access QBE would make everything easier (why reinvent the wheel?), and whether it is possible to restrict QBE from doing action queries or using dynaset to restrict end users from updating via queries which may circumvent the rules written in forms for the given data.
Have anyone had designed database with users having access to QBE? If not, how do you provide as much functionality without practically having to re-invent the wheel?
Thanks.
Form With 3 Users
Mar 24, 2005Hello,
Question 1:

database in a table?
I have a machine that put data in an Excel-file without opening.
Because I want put the data in Access I want automatically, done by

Different Rights For Different Users
Feb 18, 2006Hi All,
It's me again!!
I have another question.
I'm designing this system in which each end user should has a password, and each user has different rights, some can just read, some can add, some can update and some can delete.
how can I achieve that?
I also want to know how can I disable the auto save in MS access, as we know access does auto save. I want access to save only when a save button is clicked.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Many thanks and regards,

Multiple Users Over VPN
Oct 25, 2004I'm a relatively new Access user who is remotely connecting over VPN to an Access DB on a "fileserver" on a peer-to-peer network. The VPN connection is "always on", and I have a drive mapped to the fileserver. When I originally load the Access file, it takes about 2-3 minutes to be able to start working. If no one else is updating records, my speed is fine. If someone else updates a record, my Access session "freezes" for 2-3 minutes... coincidentally the same amount of time needed to load the DB in the first place. I assume this is because the entire DB is resynchronizing everytime a record is updated. Is there anyway to speed this process up? My updating records does not have a similar effect on the local users.
Thanks for any help or suggestions,
RJRon

Nov 29, 2004How would I go about making my database so that more than one user could open it on the server and both be able to populate the tables. Is there any problems I should watch out for?
Also, what is a good way to create a "log in" type form, where the user would log in to the DB, so I can keep track of who entered in the information, at what time and so on. And then would that person have to log out some how? or just close the database
