I want to create a database using MS Access that can be accessible by 80 users for information search purpose. At the same time at least 20 users out of 80 can make modifications. Need suggestion will that be possible in access.
The database will store in shared drive. Also want to know how to lock a record let say if user1 has access certain record for modifications than the second user can access database but not allow to modifying the record which is already under modification phase.
I am thinking about creating a DB using Access for a business. However, my wife mentioned to me that her company is looking at software for database work and has some Access DB's they are trying to convert because, according to a technical support person, Microsoft intends on getting rid of Access as a DB! I am posting here to ask anyone, professional or otherwise, if anyone has heard that Microsoft intends to stop supporting or implementing Access. Is Access 2003 the last version? I haven't been able to find out anything along this line. I thought, maybe Microsoft is thinking about supplanting Access with SQL Server. Before I go to the toil of building a DB system in Access, I want to know I am not wasting my time doing it. If anyone on this forum has heard a thing about Microsoft dumping Access, please let me know. Thank you. :o
Hi, I have a database which contains fields with information in many different languages. I seem to lose my japanese content from time to time. I cut and paste the information from a Word document and paste it into an Access field. It seem to work and I get the japanese text pasted. But I have lost it and now I just have all text replaced by small squares. How can I retrieve my japanese text?? What should I be looking for if I want to maintain a database in MS Access using Japanese, Chinese and other foreign language text in it? Bjorn
I have created a Login form in Access Database in which the users can log in to enter the work information like how much time and which job they worked on particular day , this data is stored in a table . How can make the users to use this form , I dont want to access to be installed on every machine..I want to give something like a URL so that the users can use it..
which software I can use for creation of website so that it can be compatible with ms access ...I basically need to create a front end application and connect ms access my project in the back end scenario..
I cant find my triggers option. I have followed the help instructions, which tell me that i should right click on the selected table and there should be a triggers option that i can click on and a window should appear so that i can write my trigger in, but i dont appear to have that function. Any ideas why. I am using Microsoft Access 2003.
I have a main form + subform bound by a RecordSource/Requery everytime something changes in the mainform.
In my subform I've got a save button to save/update the information in my subform.
As I wanted to avoid the ACCESS default behavior that updates/add records each time you do some action, I decided, as advised in some of the threads, to add "Cancel = True" in the "BeforeUpdate" event on my subform each time the Save button was not pressed.
Unfortunately, this causes a side-effect when I need to update the RecordSource of the subform because the "BeforeUpdate" event is activated, the "Cancel = True" is triggered (because I didn't press the Save button) and then I end up with this error:
Run-time error '2107' The value you entered doesn't meet the validation rule defined for the field or control
Before I implemented the "Cancel true", my ResordSource statement was working.
Does the "Cancel true" has some impact on something else ?? Any ideas ?? :confused:
I'm using Access 2K. I have created a Form BeforeUpdate event to check that certain fields in the form have been filled. However, I don't want to do the check until after a subform entry is also complete, but the BeforeUpdate event fires as soon as the subform is entered. Is there any way I can around this?
There are 4 unbound dropdown list box that will have a default value of empty string. All 4 must have values entered (data is required).Once all 4 are required - the bottom 5 text box will become enabled (optional data).Forcing the user to click on a Validation Button
Some users type then use the mouse to select the next.Other users type to select then tab.The trick is: After filling in the 4th listbox and validating all 4 have values, the event must trigger code to enable the 5 optional text boxes below.This provides a seamless data entry environment.
I have been doing this in other places, but the transisition after the last required field is complete gets ugly.If Trim(cmbBoxname1 & "") = vbNullString ' check all 4..If it is the 4th one, the event seems not to happen quick enough for the bottom 5 text boxes to be enabled so the user can continue with data entry.
I had copy/paste from MS Word, FileMaker Pro and DOS into MS Access Memo field. They act very strange. Is it t a way to copy these text out to some othher format to script them to MS Access supported format and paste them back into MS Access?
I want to disable a button right after click it. Because I could not disable a control that has got the focus, i tried to shift the focus to another control; however, all controls that I tried to shift the focus to don't support the method (SetFocus = true).
I want to do this on a subform's control, but I keep getting this error: Object does not support this property or method.
I have an access database that I developed while working for tech support at earthlink a while ago. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to clean it up and post it in the examples. Some of it's features include: Tabbed Browsing Posting and manipulating web forms HTML Scraping Injecting information into other programs via APIA screenshot of it is below
i'm getting this message when i try and change a record in a table via a recordset... but i am using CursorType = adLockOptimistic which i thought let you make changes to the table
here is my code so far
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset rst.CursorLocation = adUseServer rst.CursorType = adLockOptimistic rst.Open "TBL_TmpSubmission", CurrentProject.Connection
If rst.RecordCount > 0 Then Do While Not rst.EOF MsgBox rst!PropertyType, vbOKOnly, "debug" If DCount("[PropertyType]", "[TBL_PropertyType]", "PropertyType = '" & rst!PropertyType & "'") <> 1 Then rst!PropertyType = DLookup("[PropertyType]", "[TBL_PropertyType]", "IDPropertyType = " & rst!PropertyType) MsgBox "property changed", vbOKOnly, "debug" Else MsgBox "good property", vbOKOnly, "debug" End If rst.MoveNext Loop End If
rst.Close
am i using the wrong combination or cursor and lock type here? reading the help it seems i should be able to make changes to the table.
I am writing a query that is master-detail in principal. But need other data from other 2 tables. I wonder if I can construct the query so that it contains the result set of more than one SQL statement. Thank you for your kindly help.
I get the message "The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface"
I receive the message on a PC running Windows 7 Professional using the Access 2013 Runtime. This pc does not have Access 2013 installed.On my pc, I do not get the error. I have Access 2013 installed and run Windows 7 Professional SP1. The "code" which gives the error is as follows and is invoked by clicking a button on a form
Code: MsgBox "1" Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset MsgBox "2" Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset MsgBox "3"
[code]....
The error takes place after Msgbox "2" and before Msgbox "3".The strange thing is that I can run without a problem a sophisticated software package on the pc which gives the error, using Access 2013 Runtime. This package I converted from Access 2003.
So I finished my database :) ... then it was time to make it look as if it wasn't an Access DB. I read all the very helpful threads on converting to MDE, hiding access window, starting up my form, placing an icon in my main form title bar so I'm almost set but before I go ahead here is my concern:
So, basically I will make the application look like a stand-alone product and prevent the user from doing anything but using my forms. However, lets say in a month time the user wants to add some feature. Yes, I can keep the original DB and add the feaure on my version but what about all the records that were created in the meantime? How will I be able to import them then, especially if all the tables have autonumbers (which I don't know how to reset to blank in my original) and serve as the linking field for many records? All the relationships between the records would be messed up. (I'll also have to deal with the security and set it up since one of the tables will store credit card numbers.)
