Hello,
I was wondering is it possible to have a link that somehow will email a password to a user if that user forgets their password.
More a less something that looks like this as seen in many programs.
Forgot Password? (http://#)
Searched but didnt find anything but didnt know.
Okay, no laughing and shaking of heads out there!
I'm creating a database for my church. I created it on my home computer, FTP'd it to a server, and then downloaded it to my church computer.
It was about 3 weeks between the first FTP and the FTP to the church due to loading of Access etc....
Now that I have it downloaded, I cannot remember the password that I set up originally for the db admin account! (or others)
I know this security feature is designed to lock down a database to unauthorized users, so it's not intended to be easy to get around...but how do I get around it?
I'm just a lowly programmer, trying to help out the church and I really don't want to recreate the whole thing! I've tried every password I can think of that I may have used with all combinations of upper-lower cases, but I can't come up with it.
If anyone can help, please let me know.
code for the "Forgot Password?" button on a login screen? I want an email notification sent to me if someone has forgotten their password, and/or automatically reset their password to a default value based on their user name.

I have a Access 2000 db, been working fine for 6 months+ and suddenly today, two out of three forms give "not a valid password" error on trying to open them.
There has never been a password set on the db, nor on the forms - and the same user who used it successfully yesterday now gets this error, along with any other users.
What has happened and how do i fix it? All ideas welcome!!

I have a simple access search form , that's based on a query that fill parameters from the form textboxes, when the access form loads its keeps prompting for parameters value which looks ugly .. I want to open the form, displaying all the records in the table and filter when i click search ..
I have a data entry entry form, that i want to generate success message after successful insert in database. I have done it in the button event if no error happens, still if i left all fields blank and clicked save, it displays the message ..
I need to change that to display please fill the textboxes then click save , and display success message when the row is actually inserted ..
Check the following attachment for sample.
I have noticed diagrams showing Microsoft SQL Server accepting SQL statements sent by “SQL Requesters” over connections. I would like to know if Microsoft Access can be used in that fashion?
Put another way, can Access be configured to accept an SQL statement that another program (e.g. a VBA program in a VBA enabled 3rd party app) creates?
Currently, my VBA program instantiates an Access database object and then manipulates it (I just add a record to one of the tables), then closes and destroys it. This solution seems fragile (it stops working—I can explain more if needed). I would like to know if the technique inferred by my question would be more reliable.

I'm trying to use Access to send an automatic email reply upon receiving a request from a customer/employee, telling them that their request has been received and this is the tracking number and the due date of service completion. How can I do that? And I want it using Outlook because all the contacts are saved in Outlook and all emails sent and received through Outlook. And the version is Access 2010.

Could anyone guide me in this context.

I obtained a login and user access from someone last year, (can't remember who it was,) and being relatively new to vba in access, have been unable to adapt it for use in access 97. Please can someone help?
The logon works great in access 2000, thanks whoever created it!

I have recently split my database and added a password to the back end. I am now trying to re-link the tables as I have seen in other threads, but when I do this I am not prompted for the password I just get the message 'Not a valid password'
I must obviously be doing something wrong, can anyone help?
hi pals
i am newbie to msaccess. i want to set password to msaccess database file.
how to do this?
Hello all!
I need to add a password protection to my access application, and i don't know how to do it.
The scenario is the following:
I've got a main page, where the user chooses which form or report to view. I would like to add the username and password to this startup page, and then start the session. After that I should check in all the other pages that the session has been started.
How can I do it? Does the session exists in access? or should I do a table to control whether the session has been started or not?
and then check in that table in all the other forms and reports?
thanks!
HI,
I have a MS access 2003 database (in MDB format) which I use as a basic accounts system for our company (15 user). I have certain tables password protected depending on user using the old workgroup information file. This presents a problem as anyone can copy the database without linking the Information file and effectively get full admin access. I was looking to upgrade to Access 2007 but I gather that there is a different security engine and also a new file format (accdb file). I know that you can keep the same user security settings when upgrading to 2007 (while keerping the mdp file extension) but would be interested to know if I can improve security using 2007 while also being able to retain user-level access to certain tables like in access 2003? The major weakness in my system at the moment is anybody can copy the MDB file to another PC and access everyting...it seems too easy a system to crack. Do I need to completely reprogram my database using MySql on MSSql? Any advice would be appreciated?
Thanks in advance,
Shane
Hello. In my VB 6 application i would like to keep the data in the new accdb format. my program works just fine with the new format but i would like to give the end user the option of compacting the database and also to encrypt the database with a password they choose, then storing the password in the registry encrypted. Ideally, on initial install of the application when choosing the location of the accdb file, i'd like to throw up a box for them to enter a password to encrypt the accdb with. can this be done or is this only possible using Access 2007? i just don't like the idea of having to send out a universal password with all setup files because if the password was discovered, then anyone could open up an accdb file from another user.
basically, is it programmatically possible from within VB to set the password to an ACCDB file? i know this could be done in the old mdb format but i don't use that any longer!
thanks!
Hi,
Firstly thank you for your help, this should be a simple one I hope, but is cracking my head on the wall. Have searched and searched and can't find an answer.
I have an Access Db that is not password protected, but is asking for a password.
It opens on any other machine fine?
I think my version of Access is playing funny buggers with me, any suggestions?
I was trying to implement some security on this Db, which is why it happened I'm sure. I ran the security wizard, set-up two users and admin with passwords, I have the output file to "recreate" something too.
Issue is, I then copied this Db to another computer for use on there, it worked without a Password, so didn't need to worry about it, now I can't open any Db on my machine??
Your help on this obvious pointer would be great!

i have found a code that brings up a box when tab or clicking in to a box for editing as below:-
Dim strPassword As String
If InputBox("Please enter the password:") <> strPassword Then
SomeOtherControl.SetFocus
TextBox1.Locked = True
End If
its just that need to add a password as well, i have tried to put this in between the <> but this does not work. i would like a message to say incorrect password as well if possable.
I'm currently using a data access page web form in order for users to enter data into my database. The database is protected with a generic password. Whenever the form is opened in IE, it asks for that password.
The functionality that I want is for the users accessing the database through the data access web form to not need a password, but I do want the password on the database itself. This way users can't just see all the information stored within the database, but they can submit certain information through forms. Is this possible? I can't really find much about data access pages even requiring passwords, but it makes sense. I just don't know how to achieve the desired functionality.
Good Afternoon,
I have been given an access database system which runs using about 7 access databases, linked tables etc, quite complex. When a new user installs the system from a DVD the user needs to provide a password. This password is filtered to all 7 access databases so they all use the same username and password.
The problem I am having is when the user runs this application again they are prompted for their password. Everytime they click on an option which is another access database they are again asked for their password. I am trying to figure out a way once the user has logged in once on start up no matter which option they select and no matter how many time they select it while the main appliction is running they are not asked for their password. Is this possible or totally outside the scope of Access databases.
I created security using the security wizards, separating admins vs. data entry users. I gave everyone a username and a password but when I reenter the database it doesn't ask me for my username or password. Does anyone know why or how can I fix it?

Password Protection for E-mailed Access Report
Sorry this is a bit long winded but here goes - we have a very simple Access 2002 DB of 60 – 100 client records. It’s updated weekly and a report is then sent to a distribution list. In the past it was printed and faxed. As all on the list have e-mail I set up a macro to e-mail the .mdb to an Outook Distribution List. It works wonderfully and is much easier and faster. However - a couple of weeks ago one of the users complained saying we must password protect the data. Our Exchange Server is not yet set up to use certificates and Ditital IDs so I worked out the only way I can think of to p/w protect the file. The data is exported as an RTF. Once the user is in Outlook she opens the attachment and runs a macro in Word which :-
Saves the RTF as a DOC file (uses the same name each time)
Saves the DOC file with password protection
However the user reports that often it seems to link to the previous weeks data unless she deletes the attached file and opens the TEMP internet files folder, finds the correct week and attaches that.
Can anyone think of an easier and more foolproof way of doing this – is there something in Access I have missed?
Thanks for any help or advice – Dika
