I have a database with 10 users accessing it.
Even though the database is in share mode they get this message "Error 3218 Could not update; currently locked." when they are trying to write a new record.
Any ideas how to fix the problem?
thank you in advace!
I recently split my database and created an MDE file. Users were given a copy of the MDE file and the BE is in a shared directory on a server. There are only two users at this point in time inputting data into the database (there will be at least a dozen more in the near future), but every so often one of them experiences being unable to input data from their Form because of this lock condition. Sometimes the condition will go away (if they wait long enough) and they can input data again. Sometimes it's User A experiencing the lock, sometimes it's User B. I thought splitting would alleviate lock issues, but it doesn't seem to be the case for me. Could this be a "permissions" issue on the shared directory where the BE is located or some security setting within Access (or both)?
Thanks in advance for everyones help!

I have two db's a front end and a back end db. One of my users recently got this error "Could not update currently locked" Access "3218". I have a form tied to a table. She changed a drop down that puts an ID in the table row and the error occurred. This has never happend before and the locking is set to "No Lock". She swears nobody else was in that specific form either. How does this error occur out of no where? I did add 3 new columns to that table for a total of 30 columns. The front end is local and the back end is on a shared drive. Honestly if anyone can help I would be so so greatful. There is no code used to update this row in the table. As soon as she hits the drop down the new row is created in the table.
Thank You

I have a quick question. I have a database that is split into the front end and the back end. The back end is stored on a network drive and the front end is housed on several different employees' hard drives. It was my understanding that splitting the database would prevent messages such as "Could Not Update; Currently Locked". However, I am still receiving this message. Is there something that I can do to prevent this error from occuring?

OK, I have a database that works great when used on 1 computer. Basically, a friend of mine has a dj show, and he wants an electronic request system. So, I came up with this database, which works great on one computer. I am attaching the database.
So, the problem is, the database is on the dj computer, and then there is another computer on the network that will be setup for accepting requests. When I have the database running on one computer, when you try to open it on the other, it gives me a locked database error. Obviously the requests need to make it from one computer to the other. I'm pretty sure I didn't have it open exclusive. Any ideas...... I'm having a brain fart today, and I've not had much sleep.

I am trying to update a database table via a command button on the main form, that uses tabbed sub forms.
The database gets its data from paradox data tables copied our company's
third-party software. These table files are copied from one location to another to stop the paradox database from locking up and giving me errors during the import process of this database. I then link to these files at a pre-determined location on a local computer hard drive.
When I try to run the code below I get the error about the table being
locked by a user or process. As you can see I have tried adding a pause
incase the files are still being copied but this does not seem to be the
problem.
I have used a msg box to confirm that the copying process has completed before starting the make query, but the same error comes up after I click ok.
Can anyone suggest anything else.
As you can see from the simplicity of the code below I am a beginner so take it easy on me, by not taking knowledge for granted. :)
code:
------------------------------------------------------------
Dim response
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
response = MsgBox("Are you sure that you want to update xxx with Customer
data from xxx?", vbYesNo, "Perform Update")
If response = vbYes Then
‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (5000)
‘close active form
DoCmd.Close
‘close all active forms
Do While Forms.Count > 0
DoCmd.Close acForm, Forms(0).Name
Loop
‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (30000)
‘delete existing file
Kill "c:folderfile DATA.DB"
‘replace with new file
FileCopy "J:Folderew_DATA.DB", " c:folderfile DATA.DB "
‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (40000)
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
stDocName = "Make_DATA"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (35000)
stDocName = "Make_DATA_SUMMARY"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (35000)
stDocName = "qry_Update_ Status"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
‘pause software to let any pending work to be completed
Sleep (35000)
‘open up main form when finsihed
stDocName = "main-form"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
Else
End If
We have a split database. BE on server and FE on 3 user machines.
If more than 1 of us are accessing the same BE table we often get the message "Locked. Could not update" when we go to print a record or move to the next record.
Now, the FE is identical on all 3 pcs.
e.g. When this happens on PC1 or PC3 and we close the open form on PC2 it resolves the problem.
I have tried all the built in record locking options.
Currently I have it set to "No Locks" and "Open database using record-level locking" is NOT checked. Open mode is "shared".
Can anyone suggest a solution?
How should the record locking be set? The 3 users never need to have access to the same record at the same time.
Thanks

Can someone look at this update statment i just wrote? It's giving an error.
i.e.
UPDATE [Upload Trades] LEFT JOIN UploadAccts ON [Upload Trades].CustAcct = UploadAccts.CustodyAccount SET [Upload Trades].Client = [uploadaccts].[client], [Upload Trades].Account = [uploadaccts].[account]
WHERE ((([Upload Trades].Account)<>[uploadaccts].[account]));
Error msg - "Operation must use an updateable query"
Thank you.
I have two identical tables with one being created by coping the structure of the other. Table A is my primary table. Table B is my new data imported table. I created a Update query with a dlookup to update Table A's address field from Table B. All records fail to append due to type conversions.
Here is the dlookup:
DLookUp("[Address]","Table_B","[ID_number] = " & [ID_number])
I need this to work and I have no idea why I am getting the conversion problem.
I've been agonizing over this all day! This is the SQL for the query that I built:
UPDATE [Compl P129 A3C] INNER JOIN MasterFundSch ON [Compl P129 A3C].LOANNUMBER = MasterFundSch.[Loan Number] SET MasterFundSch.P129OldInv = [OLDINVNUMBER], MasterFundSch.P129OldCat = [OLDCATNUMBER], MasterFundSch.P129NewInv = [Compl P129 A3C]!NEWINVNUMBER, MasterFundSch.P129NewCat = [Compl P129 A3C]!NEWCATNUMBER, MasterFundSch.P129PrinBal = [PRINBAL], MasterFundSch.P129PrinTran = [Compl P129 A3C]!PRINTRANS, MasterFundSch.P129Diff = [PRINBAL]-[PRINTRANS], MasterFundSch.P129RptDt = [Compl P129 A3C]!RPTDATE, MasterFundSch.P129ActionCd = [Compl P129 A3C]!ACTIONCODE, MasterFundSch.P129DueDt = [Compl P129 A3C]!DUEDATE, MasterFundSch.P129EffDt = [Compl P129 A3C]!EFFDATE, MasterFundSch.[REPUR SUB] = IIf([groupID]="FH",IIf(Month([fund dt])=Month(Now()),IIf(Day([fund Dt])<16,"N","C"),"C"),Null)
WHERE (((MasterFundSch.P129RptDt) Is Null) AND (([Compl P129 A3C].NEWINVNUMBER)=[MasterFundSch]![New Inv]) AND (([Compl P129 A3C].NEWCATNUMBER)=[MasterFundSch]![New Cat]) AND (([Compl P129 A3C].ACTIONCODE)="0000" Or ([Compl P129 A3C].ACTIONCODE)="0820" Or ([Compl P129 A3C].ACTIONCODE)="0077" Or ([Compl P129 A3C].ACTIONCODE)="0078"));
I'm getting records updating that are not one of the four Action Codes that I've assigned.
Help before I go crazy!
I have a text column of alpha-numeric fields and some start P123456, P111111, P222222 etc. I want to remove the P from these fields.
I thought the following update query would do this but gives a type conversion error, regardless if the new column to copy them to is type text or number. Can someone help explain what is wrong.
UPDATE 2006 SET D2 = CLng(RIGHT(D1,LEN(D1-1)))
WHERE LEFT(D1,1)="P";
Thanks,

Does anyone know why I get the error "Operation must use an updateable query" when I run this query.
UPDATE Food_Table SET Food_Table.Delivery_Size = (SELECT Delivery_Size
FROM Delivery_Table
WHERE ((Delivery_Table.Region=Forms.Formulation_Combo.Re gion_Combo) AND (Delivery_Table.SubRegion=Forms.Formulation_Combo. SubRegion_Combo) AND (Delivery_Table.Segment=Forms.Formulation_Combo.Se gment_Combo) AND (Delivery_Table.Sector=Forms.Formulation_Combo.Sec tor_Combo) AND (Delivery_Table.Product=Forms.Formulation_Combo.Pr oduct_Combo)));
When I run only the sub SELECT query portion all is well, but not in the update query.
I am trying to get some of my colleagues to open a database I have created. They keep getting an error message on some of my forms:
"The expression after update you entered as the event property setting produced the following error – can’t find project or library
Expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user defined function, or event procedure
There may have been an error evaluating an event, function or macro."
What does this mean? I'm assuming it has osmething to do with the code I have in AfterUpdate events but these are only requerys for cascading combos. Example:
Private Sub cboBusiness_AfterUpdate()
Me.cboBusinessUnit.Requery
Me.cboBusinessUnit.SetFocus
End Sub
Where do I need to look to sort this? It works fine on my PC, but nobody elses.

Out IT department updated to SP2 this weekend and about half of my reports are no longer working. I cannot view, print or go into design mode. The error I am receiving is this:
There was a problem retrieving printer information for this object. The object may have been sent to a printer that is unavailable.
As soon as I change my default printer to a different one everything works normally. After talking to our IT department I received the helpful reply:
"Not at this time . This would take a lot of research to see why some reports print vs this one that will not."
After about three minutes of checking all of the affected reports are pointing to one printer. I found a way to manually fix an individual report by opening it up with a new printer set as default, saving the report and then changing the default back to the original printer. The problem is volume, this appears to be affecting about 50 or so reports.
It seems like a driver or network issue, these are network printers, but I do no have the access rights to try and fix this.
Any thoughts?
Hi All,
I am running a access db within a company with about 40 users. I have split the db for multiple users. The only way I have found to fix this problem is to ask the user to close it and reopen it but this is just a quick fix.
Is this cause by our Microsoft servers or is it cause by access. Any help would be great :D
Here is the complet error msg
Could not update; currently locked by user "Admin" on machine 'XXXXXX'

Greetings all,
I'm an Access newb, so please be gentle!
Using Access XP, I have a number of unbound combo boxes I use as search tools to locate specific records. Here is the code for one of them:
Private Sub Combo40_AfterUpdate()
Me.JobNumber.SetFocus
If Not IsNull(Me.Combo40) Then
DoCmd.FindRecord Me.Combo40
End If
End Sub
I think I need to add something along the lines of:
Me.Combo40.SetFocus
Me.Combo40.Text = ""
To get it to clear the combo box after the FindRecord has executed. However, when I drop those 2 lines in either before or after the "End If", I get this:
"RunTime Error: 2115. The Macro or Function set to the BeforeUpdate Validation rule property for this field is preventing MS Access from saving the data in the field."
So, I hope this doesn't mean that you can't clear the combo box choice because it interferes with the FindRecord part of the code...Anyone know how to get the result I'm looking for? To define it clearly: I want the combo box selection area to clear the choice after the find record has succesfully completed. I don't want to clear the choices, just not show anything after a search completes.
Thanks in advance. I'm sure this one isn't that hard, but it is eluding me and I've only been doing access for about 3 months.
