Front And Back Ends
Jul 25, 2007Hi guys,
I need help with security settings and that. I have a database which i want available on a shared server. Basically i only want people to beable to see one form but not beable to see anything else or make any changes to this form.
Do i need to split and make a front and back end? I will want to make occasional changes to tables etc.. and so would want this to automatically update on the database seen by everyone else.
Sorry, not making much sense but am bit confused about it all!
Any help from some clever peeps?

Modules & VBA :: Using Same Module With 2 Front Ends?
Jun 24, 2015I have a small system that consists of a back end data base and 2 front ends. having 2 front ends was a historic reason but they cover 2 distinct processes in the system.
I now have the need for using the same module(s) in both front ends. Each has a copy which is fine if nothing changes but when it does I have to apply the changes made (or copy over in its entirety) from one front end to the other.
Although this is no big deal I can forsee it slipping through the net.
Can 2 front ends access the SAME module and if so how?
General :: Many Front Ends And Only One Backend
May 7, 2013I have (on a company network) a FrontEnd .accde and a backend .accdb - currently ~ 10 users (some over wifi - slow!)The FrontEnd is becoming a rather large file ~ 10 MB and is also becoming slower.I am looking to separate this in to 3 FrontEnd files as to simplify and to lessen the file sizes etc.
My question is - are there any issues around a 3 x FrontEnd databases all connecting to 1 x backend database holding all the tables - over a network?

Apr 12, 2013How do I hide or disable the File tab in Access 2010 on my front ends?
The file tab being present allows end user to get into Privacy Options and Printing. Printing is okay if I could disable the Privacy Options for end users, then it wouldn't matter if they have access to the File Tab.
Possible very serious security issue!
General :: Linking Front End With Multiple Back Ends
Sep 30, 2014My question encompasses a front end connected to multiple back ends. It is probably a mundane point, but reading a few articles didn't seem to touch on it.
By this, let me toss out that I am thinking of the personnel where I work when I say 95% have a hard time using email and MS Word, let alone mundane functions like find a file, etc. As such, I have to make my front-ends extremely user friendly.
With that in mind, when developers have multiple back ends, what are thoughts about the best way to relink when required? Even when there are 'more sophisticated' users? Security not an issue or is an issue (inasmuch as can be handled in access)?
Ex: Large corporation with a multitude of user ability. Large database with say 3 different back ends.
I was thinking about keeping a front-end table with each table name and UNC path, hard coding paths to corresponding table names, etc.
Personally I don't have a need for multiple back-ends, but the question came up while reading.
Disable Min Max Close On Access Database (not Forms)
Jan 3, 2008Hi All,
Is there a way to disable the Access Min Max Close buttons like you can on forms?
I need to have people use a "Close Application" button (there is code behind it)
To be clear.. I need to disable the Min Max Close on the Access application and not forms.
Thanks

Feb 10, 2006I am running an Access 97 database with the backend on the server and client databases on about 2 workstations. I also have a working model of the frontend on the server that I often update. I then have to go around to each workstation and manually install the new front end from the server. I am looking for an application built in Access 97 that I can apply before the client database opens, it checks the client on the server and if a newer version is available, it copies it to the workstation. Once copied, it then proceeds to open the new front end on the workstation. Tony Towes has an excellent application on the Granite website but I cant use it because it contains a VB programme that I cannot import onto our network (security restrictions).
Grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Auto-Update Front End Question
Feb 6, 2007I was looking at Bob Larson's utility posted here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=111132) and I have a question. Maybe I'm being dense (I probably am) but the loading page on my form looks like this:

I was just wondering if Bob (or someone else) can tell me what the difference is between the first and third options on this page?
Auto Close Of A Form
Oct 18, 2006Hi
We have a number of forms in our database.
Each one is opened from a Main menu form or one of a number of sub-menu forms.
However, after a while we are realising that every time we are using a form unless we specifically close it, it stays open.
How would we automatically close a form when another one opens ?
Thanks

This is a pain and makes updates time consumming and prone to error.
Is the soloution to have 2 databases. One with the tables and the other with the code (forms), & reports ect
If so, how do I access tables in the 'tables' database from the 'front end' database??
Thanks in advance

Close Another Database
Jul 28, 2005I am using code in Access to run a merge in Word. I'll call the database containing the function (MergeWord) that runs the merge Database1. The table used in the merge is in a different database. I'll call the database that contains the table Database2. When the merge is run, another instance of Access is automatically opened with Database2 open. How do I close the second instance of Access (Database2)?
Here's my code so far:
Function MergeWord()
Dim ObjWord As Word.Document
Set ObjWord = GetObject("H:SHAREDFORMSTest.doc", "Word.document")
ObjWord.Application.Visible = True
ObjWord.MailMerge.OpenDataSource NAME:="H:AccessDatabase2.mdb", Linktosource:=True, Connection:="TABLE NewFileExport"
ObjWord.MailMerge.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
ObjWord.MailMerge.Execute
ObjWord.Application.NormalTemplate.Saved = True
ObjWord.Activate
ObjWord.Close False
Set ObjWord = Nothing
Exit Function
End Function
