General :: Database Becoming Read Only At Random?

Jun 24, 2014

I'm sure it's not random, but it doesn't seem to follow any sort of rules. My database has become "Read Only" 3 times now causing all workers using the database to stop work until IT can fix the issue. All IT does is kick everyone out of the folder that my db is in and suddenly it is no longer read only.

General :: Database Or Object Is Read Only?

Aug 25, 2012

Been using XP all this time, just got a new computer with Windows 7. Still using old Access 2000, not my call to update as this is the decision of the guy who owns the database.

Anyways, I opened Access for the first time, just a blank database so I can set up the user account. When I go to Tools > Security > User and Group Accounts and try to assign a password to Admin, I get the error message that it cannot update because the database is read only.

Where did this come from? I have never seen this message before, and the person who owns the database has a couple computers with Windows 7 that I have set this up on and did not run into this issue.

I realize that there can be some compatibility issues with Windows 7 and Access 2000 but it has worked on other Windows 7 computers, and not using the virtual XP mode.

General :: Need To Add Data To Read Only Database

May 7, 2015

I have read only access to a database maintained by a vendor. I am using an append query to search for new records in that database every time my database opens through a macro. This adds any new records to my table. I then add additional information to each record in my table. This is newly acquired information, not calculated, and it is different for each record.

My question is can I keep my table up to date with the vendor table without running the append query macro at open every time as my database may remain open for extended periods of time during updating of records.

General :: Cannot Update - Database Or Object Is Read-only

Aug 24, 2013

I have 2 tables and from them I do a query called "Query_Dates". There, I created 4 calculated fields which compares fields of the two tables previously mentioned.

What I am trying to do is everytime the calculated fields are equal to "Diff", gets the value from the second table (ADHOC) and and puts it in the 1st table (Master_Table). In total there are 4 fields I would change depending on other 4 fields called (CheckRR, CheckQual, CheckProd, CheckCap).

The problem is that it gives me an error 3027, object is read-only.

Below, you can find the code.

Private Sub Comando27_Click()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim rsd As DAO.Recordset
Dim supplierName As String
Set rsd = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Query_Dates", dbOpenDynaset)
Set rst = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Master_Table" , dbOpenDynaset)

[Code] .....

General :: Database Opens As Read Only When Opened From Shared Location

Jul 15, 2012

We have a database on a PC located on our network. The database is located in this computer's shared folder. Another database grabs data from this database occasionally. We're running into a problem where we cannot open the DB located in the shared folder (permissions granted) without it being a read only instance even with no users accessing the DB.

General :: Exporting Queries - Database Is Read Only Error Message?

Apr 16, 2013

I routinely export queries etc from my development database to the 'live' master database used by users. Every so often I get the error message 'The database Mydatabase.accdb is read only'. Then I can't export anything to it. I don't know why it should suddenly become read only. How do I make the database changeable, and not read only?

General :: Split Database With Multiple Users - Read Only Kiosk Mode

Dec 17, 2012

I have two separate database files, a front end with all my forms and a back end with all my tables. The backend is stored on a network drive, is there any way of being able to store the frontend on the drive with the backend? Users do not use the actual computer to store information or access files, everything is usually saved on the network drive. I have created a shortcut that launches the front end database in the read only kiosk mode.

General :: Random Number And Comparison

Oct 22, 2013

Anyway, here is what I am looking to do:

1.) Generate a random number between 1 and 100 and assign the result an identifier, like a person's name.
2.) Generate a second random number between 1 and 100 and assign the result a different identifier, like another person's name.
3.) Compare the two randomly generated numbers.
4.) Have the identifier of the LARGER random number displayed on the screen.

I would like to have this linked into a button click.I am hoping there is an easy way to accomplish this task.

General :: Raw Data And Random Join

Aug 22, 2012

I have almost all of my info with the exception of few hundred pieces of data entered into my database. After looking it over and looking for ways to improve it, would it be easier to import all the tables into a brand new database and starting fresh with everything? I have made a lot of changes since the inception of the database so there are forms and queries and reports that no longer work because of the changes. Or should I go back and change them?

Also, if I am looking to join to tables can they be joined by their foreign keys? They are listed below:

tblEmpInfo
EmpInfoID <PK>
EmpIDFK <FK>
JobNumberFK (joined to tblJobs)
EmpType
CraftCode (would get rid of this)

tblEmpRating
EmpRatingID <PK>
EmpID <FK>
EvalDate
SuptID
StatusChange
CraftCode

I want to join the tables based on the EmpID can this be done or do I have to add another field to EmpRating ID?

General :: Random Selection From Large Dataset

Jun 25, 2013

I pulled a report from this website my company uses and it has around 7,000 orders and a corresponding employee to each record. Since each employee has around 20-50 orders, I was wondering if there was a VBA code or different Access tool to randomly select only 2 orders from each employee, thus reducing the data set from 7,000 to a more manageable number?

How to generate random project numbers that reset automatically every month? I want to generate project numbers that look like this:

where the 06/12 stands for the month and the year while the 1234 is a randomly generated number.

I want the random number to be four digits long.

I already have a number of projects with similarly generated projects from an existing database. Can I import these projects without changing their project number?

Read Only Database

Jul 12, 2006

Hi, I am trying to create a database from scratch, however I need multiple users to have access to it. I do this nearly everyday and have no issues on the LAN we use.

This week I have been struggling to create a database on a different LAN. I create the database however I get the message that it is read only when I close it and enter it again. This means that other people are also unable to open it at the same time, and when they managae, they only get read only access.

Could this be a strange unfamilar-to-me LAN set up? Or is there something fundamental that I am not doing when creating this database?

Thanks for any help

Read-only Database?

Jul 17, 2007

hello,

You helped me solve my linking issue with my front-end/back-end database, but I've got another question. Whenever I open up the front-end ( the shortcut to it anyway), I can't open it in edit mode- only edit. Even if I do a fileopen and select the type of open I want, it doesn't work. How do I open it in edit mode so I can link the table?

thanks again

Backup Database Is 'read Only'

Feb 13, 2006

Hi All,

I created a database in Access and of course password protected the backend version. As a matter of course I backed up the mdb to cd in case of emergency.

Our network has been taken down due to some virus being bought in by a laptop user so I wanted to reinstall the mdb from the cd to my c: drive.

The problem is that the file is saying that it is 'Read Only' which I think is down to the password protection i put on there.

Question:
Is there a way I can get round the security?

I promise I am not a hacker!

Cheers

Smudger

Tweaks For Database? Ah...just Read What I Mean!

Jun 29, 2006

I would like to tweak my database so that when it opens for the users it will not show the minimize, maxamize, and close buttons at the top. Also, I would need code that will maximize my forms automatically. Let me know if this is not a good idea? I am trying to eliminate someone thinking that the close button will act as a cancel button. I dont want them to save information on accident since access saves automatically! (I already have a close without saving button on every form but people are used to closing document to not save them)

Database Suddenly Read-only

Jun 19, 2007

I have a database running for the last 6 or so years (A97) and have the ctl-shift disable enable code in it to stop people tinkering about with it.

The database was aparently working fine yesterday and today it's decided to be read-only so no-one can update the data.

It's on a server - all permissions ok and not read-only.

I can't get the disable/enable code to work either. So basically, it's locked for any development changes and it's locked for any data changes.

The IT boys are going to take a backup from the tapes of the server and re-install it, so it should be ok, but I've never had this happen before and the database is used daily for the last 6 years with no problems.

Any speculative thoughts?

[edit] I have done a search and couldn't find anything that fitted the situation

Thanks

Access Database Read-only

May 4, 2005

I am having problems with ODBC Access data source name. When I want to display some database data in a html table on a webpage there is no problem. But when I send data from a html form to the database I get an OLE DB error. (I am using ADO). I can't remember the message exactly but it was something like

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access driver] The command must be execute on a query which can be edited.
insert.asp, line 50

For some reason my database is read-only. And I don't want that. I tried
1. ODBC administrator deleting and creating a fresh System DSN, checked if there Read-Only wasn't marked on.
2. Deleted my browser cache.
3. Restarted computer several times again
4. Installed MDAC 2.8 again.

btw. I have created the table with MS Access XP and i am using Windows XP.
Below is my code.

[code]
<FORM ACTION="insert.asp" METHOD="post">
Barcode: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="a1" SIZE="15"><BR>
Artist: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="a2" SIZE="40"><BR>
Album: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="a3" SIZE="50"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear"><BR>
</FORM>
<%
a1 = request.Form("a1")
a2 = request.Form("a2")
a3 = request.Form("a3")
if ((a1 <> "") and (a2 <> "")) or ((a1 <> "") and (a3 <> "")) then
Set db=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
db.ConnectionTimeout=40
db.Open "DSN=pieter", "admin"
sql = "INSERT INTO albums VALUES ('"&a1& "','"&a2& "','" &a3& "')"
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
<----- Here is the error ----> db.execute sql
db.close
Set db=Nothing
end if
%>

Database Opens As READ ONLY

Oct 14, 2014

I have a FE DB that I have been opening and closing at various times without incident. Now all of a sudden it only opens as READ ONLY. I can't find anyone with a BE open that might be causing this. What will cause this? If I save a copy and then replace the original will I lose my data?
