Forms :: User Alerts For Call Log Database
Mar 12, 2013
I have a call log database that is used to log calls (Obviously), i have several users over a network and everything works great, but i have been asked to create an alert function that notifies the user when a new call is logged assigned to them by a different user, similar to outlook when a new email is received.
I was planning on having a timer even which checks for new calls every few mins or so and opens up a form to display the new calls which have not been dealt with i thought it was gonna be simple but i have come across a few problems.
1. verifying if a new call has been logged
2. displaying only new calls
3. only displaying alert once per new call
I have attached the database but have had to remove all information from the tables for security reasons.

Thanks in advance.

On Error GoTo Err_Form_Load
'To ensure a user has logged on correctly we check to see if a userlevel has been set.
'I use the same Select Case below in the "Form_Load" event of each form as some forms you
'may want to set different thins for different user levels rather than setting them
'globally in a module.
With Me
Select Case User.UserLevel
Case 1 'All OK
Case 2 'All OK

Hi,
1. We have one master table with many records.
2. We'd like to filter out records from the "master" table that match the records on other "exception" tables.
3. As I add records to the "exception" table, I'd like to generate a new table with the records from the master minus the exception table.
I've been reading up and I think that this could be done with queries.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Adrian

Is there a way of allowing user to reference/update from either databases ? If user enters an item code and it is not found in database A, can the program direct it to retrieve/update from/to database B ? Assuming database A and B are item databases with different contents.

I have an Assess 2007 database with a user table. This table holds database user names and user passwords an entry permission to the database. I also have a welcome form that activates when user enters the database using either of the user names and user password in the user table. Now, I would like to display the database user name (NOT THE SYSTEM USER NAME] on the welcome form of the user that enters the database.

I have a fully functioning login screen with a combo box for name and a password box. It also has an option to create a new user or exit the database. On my main form I want the employees to have to log out of the database as opposed to close it out. How would I go about this? Also I need tracking login and logout times for each employee.

I have several data entry forms in my DB. What I would like to do is capture the windows user name of the people adding records and changing records. How do I go about doing that? I was think of an on change event to a given field that would then pull the username and insert it in another field/object.
Lets say the an on change of me.cmbModel update txtUserName.

I'm having to recode some old MS Access DBs so they will run in the following environments:
Office 2000 on WinXP
Office 2003 on WinXP
Office 2010 on WinXP
Office 2000 on Win7
Office 2003 on Win7
Office 2010 on Win7
When I wrote my code for Office 2000 on WinXP things were simple because directory paths were the same across all computers and I could hard code pathing when using a shell command to launch other files.
My new approach is to make a function call to the Windows registry to determine the default executable and path for opening a file based upon its extension (see apicFindExecutable in basWindows API module).
I'm able to use code to create a shell call and debug print it to the immediate window. If I put my cursor in the immediate window at the end of the shell call and hit [enter] the external file will open as desired. If I try to open the external file directly through code, I get a file not found error.
To recreate the error take the following steps:
(1) browse to files that are accessible from your computer
(2) click the PREPARE DATA AND OPEN MAIL MERGE DOCUMENTS command button
Shell function call is made by the fnOpenFile function located in the basOpenFile module. There has to be a trick here that I'm missing.

I have been asked to create a access data base (using 2007) on tracking patients medical tests that then alerts you when it is overdue set against a scale:
Physical Test - age 20-39 - every 3 years - Male and Female
Physical Test - age 40-49 - every 2 years - Male and Female
Physical Test - age 50+ - every 1 years - Male and Female
PAP Test - 20+ - every 3 years - Female
There is about 10 of these tests like this and then tests specifically for Cancer type patients.
I figured out one way by creating a table with each column being a test but this didn't really work as I need to keep a record of each time they come in and the test is done and then it spits out the next reoccurring test from that date.
I then will need to make a report created from this that alerts on everybody who is overdue to not gotten any of the tests by category.
I then thought okay I will create a table that has the fields as ready something that this is better and to append the records to another form:
Illness - Pulling from tables of Illness
Test - Pulling from table of Tests
AgeGrp - multi-field, referenced from Table of Patients
Gender - Multi-field, pulling from the Table of Patients
Frequency - pulling from table of frequencies with amount of days to calculate
I did this and now I can't figure out anything past this point and how to link all this data up so the right information pops out.
Or is there a better way of going about this.

I have made a very simple log on form that requires the user to type in a user name and password. The user name and passwords are stored in a table. New users are added to this table to allow access to the database.
Is there a way I can add a counter to see how many times a particular user has logged onto the database?
Is there a way to make the password expire every 365 days requiring the user to reactivate their account and log in details.

I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.

I have the following in Form and it works OK
Call RunForm("frmProviderLookup", "", "Edit", "", "", "Normal", "Normal")
I want to build a combo box with several different RunForm variations as follows:
RunForm("frmProviderLookup", "", "Edit", "", "", "Normal", "Normal")
RunForm("frmCustomerLookup", "", "Edit", "", "", "Normal", "Normal")
RunForm("frmVendorLookup", "", "Edit", "", "", "Normal", "Normal")
etc, there are many of these
When I select one the variations from the combo box the RunForm statement is stored in strAction varaible..How do I code the Call strAction line? (I want only one call statement).In other words how to call a Function from a variable...The start of my module Function works OK and looks like this:
Public Function RunForm(FormName As String, _
Optional WhereCondition As String = "", _
Optional xMode As String = "", _
Optional filterName As String = "", _
Optional Args As String = "", _
Optional WindowMode As String = "", _
Optional View As String = "")
' Parameters (all optional except parameter 1)

' 2 - Where condition
' 3 - Mode [Add, Edit, View(Read Only), ""(PropertySettings), DS(Datasheet Edit)]
' 4 - Filter Name
' 5 - Opening Arguments
' 6 - Window Mode

I have three forms - Form1,Form2 and Form3 linked to a navigation form with Navigation buttons. I have separate VBA codes under each Before update event of these forms, Form1,Form2 and Form3 to call a VBA module to track the changes performed by the users(Like an Audit Trail) in specified fields of the forms which will track them to a table.there are control tags in the form properties --> others --> Tag to track the changes in the fields which are defined in the VBA Module.this is the code to call the VBA Module:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.NewRecord Then
Call AuditChanges("UniqueID", "Part No", "NEW")
Else
Call AuditChanges("UniqueID", "Part No", "EDIT")
End If
End Sub
[code]....
The code is working perfect when the forms are run separately.but when they are run from the navigation form by clicking the navigation buttons, the code is not working !!

I want to track which user has which phone and track issues with them.
I have all the relationships set up right.
I have tables:
DeviceStatus - for the drop down box, contains IT Stock, Faulty, With User and Retired
DeviceTypes - Contains model numbers for devices
Assets - Contains a link to DeviceTypes, a link to DeviceStatus and the serial number of a phone.
I have a query:
StockStatus - shows Assets.ID, DeviceStatus.Status, DeviceTypes.description and Assets.SerialNumber
What I want as an end result is a form with a drop down box that shows DeviceStatus.Status (which I have working at the moment) with a go button next to it which will call the query that only shows what was selected in that drop down box.

I have a lost/found property database form (soft-copy), it works perfectly fine. We enter the details of the found property and then take the print (hard-copy) of the form. Whenever an owner comes to claim his/her item we search through our soft-copy for the specific item/record and then ask them to sign on the relevant hard-copy record after which we cross out the hard-copy and write with a permanent marker "Restored". Whereas in the soft-copy we type in the details that it has been claimed/restored in available text fields.
However, is there anyway that I can display a big large banner saying "restored" in front of only that record(s) where item(s) has been restored to the owner. It doesn't have to be a text banner/label, it could also be a picture saying "Restored". I have manage to get a print message box set-up for this but it's too annoying. Every time we pull out an item's record that has been restored, that message box comes up and then we have to click OK to proceed. I can remove it but only if can find a replacement.

I was wondering if there was a way to view mdb file without the navigation pane and ribbon (for Access 2007). I know I've used an access database that someone else made and it was done in a kind of "user-only" style interface where all you saw was the forms and reports in a dialog box style. This kept the user from seeing any of the tables and queries and all the "under the hood" types of things.
Does anybody know how to do this?

I would like your opinion on this; I have a ms access database that will be used in a multi-user environment, across different Teams. Data will be loaded from text files several times a day in a MS Access table, users will retrieve the data from the tables and displayed in a form. Their job will be to add comments and select drop down boxes for actions they have taken. Since the data is downloaded in the tables and retrieved from the user instead of the user keying in the data from scratch I would like to know how to best design this. I’m thinking of having a query run to display the data in the user form but is there a way that I can have the data refreshed every so often so that users can be presented with the new records that are being downloaded. What best practice should I use to avoid conflicts like example splitting the database or using record locking options
Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Hello Everyone! I have a project that is driving me crazy!! :mad:
I have a form on a database that retrieves data from a query; this database is in a multi-user environment. What I am trying to accomplish is to allow the form to bring up the next available record that has not/or is NOT being worked on yet. The form I built does a re-query every time the user goes to the next record and looks for anything that has not been worked on yet. It does this by looking at the timestamp the user has placed once completed the record on the form. I also placed my record locking option to Edited Record. However when the users sign on simultaneously they still get the same item on their screen. Is there a way to create some sort of locking mechanism that would allow the form to display to the user the next available record that has not been or is not being worked on by a user at this time? Theoretically I am looking at something like this: Once a user opens the form and the record is displayed on the screen, lock the record and avoid any user from viewing or editing this record. All other users should be directed to the next available record, every time the user hits the next button move to the next available unlocked record and immediately lock it from viewing or editing from everyone else.
I appreciate any help you can provide me on this!!

On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Advanced tab, under Default open mode, click Shared.
and its suppose to work (which it didn't since I'm posting)
I have a few tables and a few forms, and I need to be able to have 2 or 3 people on at any given time.

I have a 2000/2003 format database used only for reporting.
It has linked tables to an SQL Server database.
It automatically opens a form with two buttons on it (no data) and hides the database window and the regular menu, replacing it with my own toolbar.
The default open mode for the database is "Shared."
The default record locking for the database is "No Locks"
On the opening form, the record locking is set to "no locks."
Yesterday, no problem for two of us to share it.
However, when I open it on my computer (not to edit - to use. I simply open it - not in exclusive mode.), and then another person opens it, they get the message that says "the database has been placed in a state by "Admin" on machine (my machine) that is locked and will not be able to be opened." (not verbatim, but close.)
When the other person opens it first and then I try to open it, I get a message that I don't have exclusive access and will not be able to save changes. I have to hit okay about 6 times, but then it opens.
Some users at off-site locations are having problems sharing - some are not.
Any ideas?
