General :: Creating Separate User Permissions Without VBA?
Aug 19, 2014
The problem is I need it to be only editable by 1 user, but allowing multiple other users to access it and view the records- just not able to add/edit/delete them.
The other question I had about the Split database would be- Does having a split database mean the data needs to be updated in 2 tables or am I taking Splitting databases too literally?

I have some Databases that were created back in Access 97 and have managed to upgrade these databases to work in Access 2013, fixing any modules and forms which broke when upgrading the databases.User access and permissions within the database were controlled by User Level Security (the Workgroup.mdw file) which is not secure anyway I guess, as someone could easily copy the entire database.
The database as it stands now works perfectly in Access 2013, however anyone can do anything with the database which is my main issue. Im wanting to limit access for certain forms / tables / reports to certain users, then out right deny other users from accessing the database.
Ive seen the SQL Server 2014 Migration Assistant for Access, which looks to store the tables on SQL server then map these to the Access database, so i guess i could deny certain users from accessing tables that way, or only allow them to read the tables. However I'm not sure how that would lock them out of certain forms / reports and queries in the databases?

I'm a SQL Server DBA and have a few Access 2010 Db's to look after and occasionally have to make amendments to (as is the case today). I've been asked to apply permissions to certain users of the Access database whereby users in a group we're calling 'Viewer' only have read permission and users in another group called 'Writer' (original I know!) have both read and write permission.
The database is form driven (i.e. no-one directly accesses and amends the tables in the database), the file is saved with a .mdb extension.
I've played around with the 'Manage Users & Permissions' in the File Menu however these don't seem to do what I need them to and only result in having to input a user and password to access the database on start-up.

I am looking to design and create a user interface for my database. Preferably hiding the standard access interface and upon opening the database have a pop up form with buttons to direct users to forms queries.

creating dynamic RibbonXML where statement will depend on user that is accessing access database. I created DynamicXML no problem and it changes context depending on user but my main problem is refreshing ribbon. I see that UsysRibbons tables changes fine but it's not being loaded. I have to restart access in order to this to take effect. I tried gobjRibbon.Invalidate method but it doesn't refresh ribbon for some reason... Here is my code:I created new module with name "Ribbon" and put this in there:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public gobjRibbon As IRibbonUI
Public Sub CallbackOnLoad(Ribbon As IRibbonUI)
' Callbackname in XML File "onLoad"
Set gobjRibbon = Ribbon
End Sub
and then in form that validates a user I put:
If (Not gobjRibbon Is Nothing) Then
gobjRibbon.Invalidate
End If

Hi,
I have an Access front end that has linked tables to a SQL Server back end database. The connection to the back end is a via a read only user because the front end is a reporting tool for querying, viewing and reporting on the data. I am able to view the data in the front end and set up new queries. However my user has the new query icon greyed out. I have not set up any kind of permissions or security levels to my knowledge so am a little mystified as to why their permissions should be different to mine! Does anyone have any ideas please?

Hi guys,
I have very nearly completed designing and making a database for stock control for my company, and am now a little concerned on how it is going to be implemented. It is going to be done over a network, with only a handful of users. The idea is to have every user log in but with each person having different permissions. i.e onl;y being able to access maybe one or two forms, but also having an administrator that can view every form. Now, i am aware of the security settings in the tools menu, would this be the appropriate way, or would i have to creat an empl;yee table and set permissions thropugh vb? This is the first database i have constructed and need a little help!
The second problem is that the database will be over a network. Would i have to put the backend in one place and then have the front end installed on all the pc s and just access the backend when i its needed? Forgive me if this sounds a bit stupid but as i have said this is new to me..
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I have created 10 User Group Accounts, and have set Permissions for the first 7 successfully. However, no Permission settings are being saved for any subsequent Groups. (Access 2010 managing a 2003 mdb file, Front and Back client)
After having experimented a little, I found that while Access allows you to create a Group name with 20 characters, any Group with 20 characters in the name does not save Permissions.19 Characters seems to be the maximum characters a Group can actually be named with.

Now there is only one set of permissions Admin, and Admin has no permissions at all. When I try to check admin rights or even read rights back to the Admin it says I need to be logged in as admin, which I am.
Is there anyway at all I can either copy some information from 2 tables and put it in my back up?? I'm really stuck here and need to fix this or I'll have lost considerable amounts of work.

I'm running Access 2010 but using an .mdb to maintain user level security.I've rolled out a new version of the DB for 2014 (don't ask, but it is necessary) linked to the same security file as the 2013 version, which works fine. With the exception of some new fields and a bit of re-wiring the two are very similar. User permissions have stayed the same, all users are connected to the same security file and have access to almost all the functions they should.
The odd thing is that there are only 3 report buttons (so far) that flag the permissions error for all 'Update Data Users'. Everything else seems to be working fine. I should add that the buttons trigger macros but I don't think that's a problem since they work fine on the 2013 version.
I've tried re-linking the security file but that makes no difference - the path was correct. I don't understand why this is specific tho these buttons since other Macro'd button are working fine.

I have been asked to look into fixing a permissions problem with a database. The company has been in the process of updating the OS on our computers.
The database in question is stored on a shared network drive. It opens fine on a windows XP machine running Access 2003 but when the same user tries to open the database from windows 7 using access 2010, the message: "You do not have the necessary permissions to use the '<file path>' object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you."

I was wondering if it is possible to create custom security permissions in access. For example I have created an employee database, with security. I would like to have it when a manager logs on, it will only display his employee's information and no other departments. Is this possible?? In one of the tables is a field for the department the employee works on, can it based off of a table field?

Can anyone tell me what the ideal NTFS persmissions should be for users who are only inputting data to an Access database?
Would Read, Write, & Execute on the networked folder where the BE resides be enough for the users to update the database?
Thanks!

I have been using a A2003 file through A2007 to be able to use user security.We are now in A2010 and the users and permissions component is not showing in the Administrator area as it did in A2007, although the security is still functioning. How do I get access to Users and Permissions in A2010?

I would like to separate my list box in two categories.Indeed it is composed by 2 types of criteria but arranged in the same List box (I can't create another List box, it's forbidden).how can I proceed?I've thought to insert a dash but it has to appear all the time and I don't know if it's possible to do that.
I've also thought to enter a title IN the list box above each category but it has to appear all the time too..when I click on one item in the List box it becomes highlight.May be code the 2 titles I could add for being always selected (highlight).I don't want to have to select the 2 titles every time!!!

I'm creating this database for a claims management company. Yesterday I learnt about making a many to one relationship between the claims and clients tables.
Turns out its more complicated than that. Since I'm dealing with claims, a person may add their partner as the second claimant. (usually the case in mortgages)
So where parties A and B are in a relationship:
person A may claim on their own
Person B may claim on their own
Person A may be the primary claimant and add person B
or conversely person B may be the primary claimant, adding person A.
The end goal is to automatically fill in a financial form (making use of a mail merge). So from what I know I think this means:
that grouping them as one contact is not going to work as I need them to be able to do a solo claim, and also I will not be able to easily change around who is the primary or secondary claimant, which will then carry over onto the mail merge.
So I think this means I need them as two separate contacts. However, I don't know how to create a link between them to easily add their partner to a claim.
Would this also mean I need a many to many relationship between clients and cases.

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 am creating a database for creating quotations. The quotation number is generated using the date, for example the first quote today would be quote number "05202015-1" because it is the first one today. The next quote today would be quote number "05202015-2" and so on. Is there a way to make access automatically generate these quote numbers based on the date?

I'm building an application in MS Access 2010.
This application must be able to read from a big table in a separate accdb.
This separate accdb contains info that should NOT be available for all my users to copy, as it is valuable competitive information that could be abused by people with bad intentions. So, a linked table solution is not an option.
However, it should be possible to run parameterized queries that do simple look-ups that return only small/relevant portions of the database.

I have a query that holds info for a WORK ORDER FORM. E.G The work order requests 3 staff member.
Is there a way to have a separate table or query split this quantity into three rows so i can assign an employee to each request?
I sometimes get requests for 20-30 staff and dont really want to add lines manually.

I have an A2007 database used for time and billing. As time goes on I've had to add more forms and especially more reports. I feel the because of all these "additions" the FE is getting a bit bloated, something like 2.2MB right now.What I want to inquire about is the possibility of moving at least some (if not all) of the forms and reports to another FE and can this be done without having to move tables and/or queries?
The navigation pane is "hidden" from the users so they don't see all the tables, queries, forms and reports but some are smart enough to figure out to "unhide" the navigation pane.Concerning the forms; there are certainly some forms that I do not want other users to open out of curiosity, or for whatever other reasons they might have, so these I would want to move. The same basic reasoning would apply to the reports.
My thinking would be this; move a particular form/report to a separate FE that merely acts as a "bucket" to store the form/report. Clicking on the control in the main FE would open the form/report stored in the other FE using the tables and queries in the main FE.can it be done without having to re-write a bunch of code? I know I can add code so certain controls aren't visible to certain users but I've not found a way to permanently lock and hide the navigation pane.

I have the need to put a separate image per ID on my table/form or a separate link to an image I can put an image on my form but its does not change when I change my clients its the sam e all the time, I have tried linking to an excel book but for some reason it will only show 10 fields, (and it is linked).
I don't mind creating a standard windows folder with my images in but would need to be able to link to each one from my form.
