Forms :: Unable To Set Password Protection On A Combobox
May 25, 2013
I am trying to set password protection on a combobox where there are only a few people who I want to be able to select their name to provide authorisation. I found the below code on a website and modified it slightly for my table (tbl_Approval) that contains two fields; Approver and Password. I can see how the code is supposed to work however I keep getting a syntax error (missing operator) in query expression on line: Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sql).
Code:
Private Sub Approved_By_Enter()
Dim pwd As String
Dim rs As Object, rstable As Object, count As Integer, counter As_ Integer
Dim sql As String, recount As Integer
sql = "SELECT * " & "FROM [tbl_Approval] " & "WHERE [Approver]= " & Me.Approved_By
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sql)
I need some help creating a way for two different type of users to be redirected to different forms after entering a password. I tried using the groups security in access but it's not good.
What I need the program to do is:
ask the user to enter a password. then if the password is correct and they are managers they will see the managers opening form ("form1") and if they are employees they will se a different opening form("form2") with less options and different reports.
I have set up a front screen which has linked buttons to other forms. When I open up some of the forms (using the buttons) I would like them to be password protected.
I know tihs is probably really easy, but I cant get it sussed!!
I have an Access 2010 form within my database in which I have a series of 8 tabs on a tab control. I am the only user who will have access to these tabs. I want to require a password in order to permit access to the tabs. The very first tab on the tab control works as a cover tab. There is no relevant information for anyone to view...only a graphic.
How to code the "on change" event of the tab control.
I have been working on some database protection techniques and have found floors in all of them.
Basically I have to protect a database not using the application password... which has a different password for each form. This means using form passwords ect... but all of them can be hacked by using the shift key on start-up does anyone know how to get around this as im stuck and could really do with another’s perspective.
I need to know if there is any way to password protect a single query. I currently have a database and there are several users that have access to run queries but I need to have some security as others are making modifications to queries that they shouldn't be.
I have a set of command buttons on a form that open up a series of reports. The problem I have is that only certain users should have access to particular reports and I want to be able to put some kind of password protection in.
If anyone knows how to do this please let me know.
I have an old access 97 database that I can open with a user password, but cannot open as an administrator. I need to look at some development issues. My problem is that the vendor who wrote the database no longer exists to help me. Does anyone know how to strip off password so that I can examine this old database?
I have a small tracking Access DB at work that someone put a password on. No one seems to know the password. I'm wondering if there is a file that stores the password so that I can remove it so I can access the DB.
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
I would like to know if I can create a password protection on specific tables. Within my database, there are certain tables and/or reports to be view by a selective amount of personnel. Can I password protect just that view?
Just as the title describes, I can't seem to find a solution to be able to link the front-end to the back-end tables through the common file dialog when the backend is an accdb file that is password encrypted.
See the example attached. Here it should work just fine per the Article at :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181076
I've found it works fine without a password encrypted back-end but not with a password encrypted back-end.
Anyone have any ideas? It would be nice to use this feature in Access as well as automating the relinking.
When trying to set a password I receive the following message.
You must have the database open for exclusive use to set or remove the database password.
To open the database exclusively, close the database, and then reopen it by clicking the File tab and using the Open command, In the Open dialog box, click the arrow next to the Open button and then select Open Exclusive.
When I follow the instructions, I don't get a dialog box. How do I set a password?
I have a combobox on a form which is populated from a field to present a list for the user to choose from.
I have limit list set to 'N'
When the user types something in the combobox that is not in the field in the table then I want to prompt for a password. Effectively password protecting the update of the field from a combobox.
If the password is correct the text is written to the field in the table and if not then not.
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 am trying to use a combobox called Manufacturer to select which table the combobox called Model gets it's rowsource from using the code below.
Code:
Private Sub Manufacturer_AfterUpdate() If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Siemens") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SeimensTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SeimensTable" Else If (Me.Manufacturer.Value = "Samsung") Then Me.Model.RowSourceType = "Table/Query" Me.Model.Recordset = "SamsungTable" Me.Model.RowSource = "SELECT Model FROM SamsungTable" End If End If End Sub
But when I run the form and select Manufacturer. Combobox Model remains empty. tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I have main form("client Status") which contains information about client order and showing the calculations. The subform is also there for receiving the payment from client. I would like to get the sum of amount received(from sub from) and would like to show it on main form that how much amount received from a client. As payment received from client the form should be updated automatically by showing the sum of amount received.
how to take sum of particular field in subform using vba and storing it in main form field.the forms are created from tables and there is no unbound field.
I am building a very comprehensive Membership Management Database with extremely useful facilities initiated by some 20 or 25 Queries..
The database includes 5 Tables which store data relevant to members, another which stores details of Interest Groups and a 3rd which stores which members are affiliated to which Group or Groups.
Currently the database is accessible only by a very limited number of persons and data can be entered/edited by only one person. The database, using Access 2010, is maintained on a desktop computer and synchronized to a copy on a Cloud.
My requirement is to permit some 50 Group Leaders to input/edit data on a Password protected Group Members Form such that that is the only element of the database that they can access. The Forms would have only 2 fields from which the user would select entries from drop down lists.
My query is ; is such a procedure feasible in principle and would I be correct in assuming that the user would require to have available a copy of Access.
I have a combo box which I use to jump to a certain record in a form in Continuous View. The combo box located in the form header which works fine when the code is attached to the OnChange event. But that works premature when I have not finished typing what I am looking for yet. I tried few events for no avail. I need OnLostFocus but I can not tab out of the combo for the life of me, it works when I click out of the combo box with the mouse but I want to use the Keyboard Tab.
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?
I can do anything(design/edit/add new) to my table & queries but unable to redesign/edit my existing forms & reports, i wonder why?. My Database attributes is not "read only".
WHERE (((Projects.[TeamA])=[Forms]![Search Project by Team]![TeamA]) AND ((Projects.[TeamB])=[Forms]![Search Project by Team]![TeamB]) AND ((Projects.[TeamC ])=[Forms]![Search Project by Team]![TeamC]))
I created a table to keep contact information such as address, phone number, and email address of instructors. I also modified the New Instructor Entry form to add an email address, since we usually have this when hired.
The problem arises when no such information exists for an instructor. I have attached a "sample" database with all the important components and "sample" data.
When I choose an instructor in which some contact information exists, the Instructor Contact Entry form performs as expected. On the other hand, if no information for an instructor exists, the information can be entered, even though the Employee Number, Family Name and Given Name fields are blank, contrary to the first case. Not only can the information can be "saved" but no data appears in the table.
How do I have to set this up to get it to work for an instructor not in the table?
I enabled security on an .mdb which included several users that are in the Full Data Users group. After I did this I needed to add a new form to the application, so I logged into the application and added it. However, though the admin group and the Full Permissions group can access it fine, the Full Data Users group cannot. I have double checked all of the settings and have even rebuilt the .mdw file to no avail. Any thoughts?
I am trying to open a report (with subreports) from a form. When the report opens, I want the form to hide, which most of the time does. Sometimes, though, it won't hide when the report opens. So, I even created an error handler, and moved that part of the code to SubExit section, but the problem still occasionally occurs. Here is my code:
Code: Dim strWhere As String Dim strDate As String Dim strDist As String On Error GoTo ErrHandler strDate = "=DateSerial(" & Year(Me.txtAsOfDate) & "," & Month(Me.txtAsOfDate) & "," & Day(Me.txtAsOfDate) & ")" strWhere = "YearEnd = " & Year(Me.txtAsOfDate) - 1
