General :: Database Becoming Read Only At Random?
Jun 24, 2014I'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.

Aug 25, 2012Been 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, 2015I 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 :: Database Has Been Opened Read-only
Apr 23, 2014I have a simple database that is on a desktop that I have a shared folder and have not had issues till now. What would cause it so say, "This database has been opened read-only." Nothing has changed. Only thing my co-worker did was reboot the machine a few days ago.

Aug 24, 2013I 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)

General :: Database Opens As Read Only When Opened From Shared Location
Jul 15, 2012We 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.

Dec 17, 2012I 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.

Jul 12, 2006Hi, 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, 2007hello,
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, 2006Hi 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

Tweaks For Database? Ah...just Read What I Mean!
Jun 29, 2006I 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)
View 6 Replies View RelatedDatabase Suddenly Read-only
Jun 19, 2007I 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

May 4, 2005I 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>

View 6 Replies View RelatedQuick-save Database To Read-only
May 12, 2005Does anybody know if there is a quick way of making a database read-only (so no data input OR design priviledges).
Ive had a request to send somebody a database so they can look at the data but not add/amend etc. The only thing I can think of is adding a security workgroup and assigning read only permissions. But this seems a bit long-winded and I wondered if I was missing something obvious like a 'save as - read only' option.
Any ideas.
Thanks,

How Can I Read A Text File Into A Database
Jan 4, 2005This is what I would like to achieve
Each time a person comes into our building, they use a electronic key. The information is recorded into a text file. I would like to extract information as described next
The date from the line marked D. Date is marked in bold
The time from the line marked T. Time is marked in bold
The key number and Location from the line marked M. Key Number & Location is Marked in Bold
Sample of the text file:
D[ Fri 30/04/04 ]
T[ 08:19 ]
M[ Valid key:130 Ing group, tenancy:SUNCITY, door:Lower Roller Dr, panel:SURF CITY. ]
N[ 0 2 0 0 5 23 1 0 0 0 130 2 ]
D[ Fri 30/04/04 ]
T[ 08:22 ]
M[ Valid key:20 LEAD NGUYANST, tenancy:SUNCITY, shaft:0, panel:SURF CITY. ]
N[ 0 1 0 0 5 16 1 0 0 0 20 2 ]
D[ Fri 30/04/04 ]
T[ 08:23 ]
M[ Valid key:556 Ing Group, tenancy:SUNCITY, door:Lower Roller Dr, panel:SURF CITY. ]
N[ 0 2 0 0 5 23 1 0 0 0 556 2 ]
…..and so on the text goes
I am reasonably familiar with access but I have not had any experience with Text Files . Could someone post a sample db that would give me a starting point. any information would be appreciated.

Error "The Database 'Name' Is Read-only?
May 15, 2007Hello,
I have a MS Access 2000 database application stored on a Novell Network server and being shared more than 20 users. However, occasionally, different users, who want to open it in the morning have the error message The database 'Name' is read-only. Therefore, those users can NOT run any action or procedure queries/reports. To resolve, we have to disconnect all the current users, who previously open the database, then everybody can open WITHOUT the "read-only" error!!??
Please advise any permanent solution to avoid the "read-only" issue without disconnect all the users who already open the database?
Thank you so much.
Database Stored On Server Read-only?
May 23, 2014I have created a database with multiple user and I have stored it on a file server. The remote users have been given read write permission on the server. However when the person opens the database it is read only. I have not to my knowledge made the file read only as I am able to work off the same file from the server. I made sure that no one was using the database when It was opened but it still comes up as read only. She is able to access the database and work in it but she is not able to modify anything and she does have permission within the database to do so.
