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.
Can someone please help me out? I have a login form which asks for the users name and password and that all works fine. However, I then want to open a form giving them different editing rights depending on the access level I have assigned them. I have copied the code below. The intAccessLevel is being read in properly but when the form "Sample" opens it ignores the Me.Allow.... statements which corresponds to the different access levels. Does anyone have any ideas why this is the case?
I've been asked to make sure only certain users in my database are able to print anything (i.e. Administrators). Is there any option/property to do this?
I have already built in User Access controls using the ctl.Tag property. The only way I can think off the top of my head is when a 'general user' uses it, to ensure that every control is displayed 'on screen only'. This of course doesn't stop them printing - just makes them print blank pages!
I dont know if this is possible, but i need to add different access rights to a database. I finish my summer placement in 2 weeks and need to set the database up so that all employees can look at the database but only one can modify it. I know how to do it in excel but i cant seem to get it to work in access. Any suggestions. :p
Has anyone got an idea on how to issue user rights i.e. one person can write to a certain table whilst another can only read the same table. Ive had a good search but unable to find anything! If anyone has a good thread or website I would be most grateful!
I have a BE DB on a network server at work. I was making changes to the database and closed it, but it still says that I have exclusive rights (when I try to compact and repair, it shows that my network log-in ID has rights to the DB).
I have designed a database in my station under my server login (I am admin). I want another user in company's server to have limited access but not 100% read only (some read and right access). It is always read only for other users in the server. And also the database can not be opened on more than one station simeltaneously. Can you help me there.
I have designed a software package based around an Access Database at my company (based in the UK). There is a good chance that the company will be able to sell the software and potentially make a handsome profit.
My boss wants me to sign an Intellectual Property Rights agreement. Does anybody know what this means? Which of my rights does it effect? Would it prevent me from developing the same software if I left the company?
Any help would be much appreciated. I've found some resources on the web but they seem to apply mainly to music. Just wondered if anyone had had a similar experience.
I need to launch the database on the server as a multi user. Only one station can change the designs and major issues. But other stations have the right to add/edit/delete data. I tried that through security account and permission. It works on the admin, but not with other user login. How can I link the access user to my server user login?
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.
I have a web based application that loads data from Access97. From the application, I choose the database and it uploads data from the chosen db.
However, after the upload is done, I am not able to open the db again till I shut down my system and start it again. The db is on my local hard disk drive and so there are no rights issues (maybe I am wrong). I also do not see any hanging *.ldb files. I even checked to see if there were any hidden *.ldb files but found none.
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:
If I place the program on a server, how can I tell which users are using the program? Also, is it possible for me to kick someone off the program without going to their computer?
Please refresh my memory on how i can set up a database having about 10 users possibly making entrie at the same time. I am trying to make a small database for containing employee surveys.
When the application starts up I need to control the user of the system, I will have to accounts which I will define one will act as an admin and the second will act as a user the differences is that the user acts is “read only” cannot add, delete and edit.
I would appreciate your comments and ideas regarding this part?
I want to create and mde file in order for the users not to change any thing on my design, I will be uploading the file into my server and give them the path to access:
1.3 people (max) will be accessing the database, is that a problem or not? 2. I cant create an mde file I have to convert my db but I have read as well if I covert it to 2000 people who have lower or higher version wont be able to access it, how can I fix that?
I think I am missing sth here, after I set my new group then I create my new user, then what! How can I specify which user to login with? Will the user be promoted for a username and a password?
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?
What 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?
What is the simplest way to track who is making a change to a record and when they made the change? I've tried searching for help but I'm not quite grasping how to do this. Any ideas?
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
i have a database which is shared on the network. i have one problem right one. when one is using the database, another person cannot access it. what can i do to enable multer user access it at the same time. Any help will be highly appreciated.
