I just published an access database to sharepoint. However, after I set some user as contributor, those users can see structure of my database, and export tables to excel directly. Is there anyway that we can remove the access to "Setting"?
View RepliesCreating a database for processing survey data into a report format. We receive these reports as paper copies, which are then scanned in using Remark Office OMR. This results in a table of data, which is intended to be appended to the existing table in the database using Save As --> Access 2007, selecting the database and target table, clicking save as, and then selecting 'Append' from the subsequent popup.
What I want to know is: Is it possible to disable/otherwise prevent the 'Overwrite' option in this window from being selected? Can I make the table or database in such a way that data can only be added, not edited or deleted?
I have an Access Database published as an app in my SharePoint.
When launch the app my records are shown in a form in ascending order. How can I have them displayed in descending order?
I have a number of Excel spreadsheets (data sources) hosted on Sharepoint that I need to link to one single Access database.
At first. I cannot link the spreadsheets directly to Access because Access cannot read the spreadsheets on SharePoint to make the links.
Secondly, I can export the spreadsheets from SharePoint to a local folder on my PC and keep them 'refreshed'. The problem with this is that I cannot link Access to the local refreshed spreadsheets because of the (auto) extention .iqy. Access does not know the extention .iqy and hence the two cannot be linked at all.
Thus: How do I link an Excel spreadsheet hosted on SharePoint to MS Access.
I am trying to limit what a user can see when accessing a database in access. I am only testing with this in access before taking it to SQL server. I have 3 databases and I combined the data into one set of tables and now what i am trying to do is a certain user can only view data from a particular database.
I have a table with the users id and password, as well as an ID number from each database that I am trying to tie to the users.
for example one user can view and add/edit data in databases 1 and 3 but not 2. while there might be a user that can view and add/edit on 1 and 2 but not 3.

I am having some problems setting the default value of a field to the user name of the person logging on to the database.
I have created a *.mdw for my individual database and would like to include the current user id of the user creating a new record.
Anyone out there have any ideas how i would go about doing this?
:confused:
I've created a database and I now need to set up user accounts for access to it, so that I can restrict who has read only and who has write only permissions.
I've done this before and never had a problem! But this time, whenever I try and create a new account, the following message is displayed:
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
Can anyone help as to why I get this message and what I can do to stop it! Whilst it does this, I can't create any user accounts.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance
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 building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.

Now left with one more thing, is it possible to disable anyone trying to import stuff from my database?
Maybe some code or is there a setting somewhere in current db?
With this
Me.Application.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("&File").Enabled = False
I can disable the Command "&File" in the Menu bar, How can i disable its menu option Like "Print Preview"
I have a Print button on a form, which actually prints off a report for the user.
Some of them seem to be trying File-->Print, which actually just prints the form instead of the report and no matter how many times I've told them to use the Print button, they seem incapable of remembering.
Is there a way to turn off the File-->Print option ?
Hi,
Newbie needing a shove in the right direction. My option group will be confusing for a user because it defaults to the Male selection
of the Male / Female option. In other words, as the user views the form to scroll through the records, the option button will always be at the Male selection, regardless of what was originally selected to update the table field. Is it possible to hide the option group once it has been used to input that record, or, have it display the correct selection for that particular record?
I made on option box on a form called Status. The 2 radio buttons are marked Open = 1 and Closed = 2. Is it possible to open a query based on what the user selects. In the query I want open to stand for Is Null and closed would be Is Not Null. I know this sounds unusual but it works in the query they way I want it to. Is this possible? Thanks...

I stumbled upon the Option Group function just yesterday and, happy as a clam, I created a group with 2 options in radio button style. I assigned the values to a field called Registration_Type as the 2 options are "Confirmed Registrants" and "Prospective Attendees".
[Great. That part works well. When I look at the table, a 1 or a 2 is in that field so it's great to know how to control accidental ticking of radio buttons (previous 450 records or so didn't have this option group functionality so one might easily tick one of the buttons. So one part of controlling option group I know I can handle via the table itself for now.]
The challenge is how to ensure the user always ticks one or the other ... I went back to the main table and tested the 'required entry' option for the Registration_Type field but forcing an action like this is not ideal in my mind. The usual error message vagueness for the average user is no good and I don't want to limit the user so much.
Is there a way to simply have a popup come up warning that neither radio button was ticked? Perhaps something linked to the form - i.e., maybe "after update"?? I only learned about attaching code to before and after update on controls a couple of days ago, so not sure if this would be best approach.
Just something to let the user know that nothing has been ticked in the option group as that controls in which of 2 reports the data will show up in so any record not ticked might mean a registrant being left out, which would be rather disastrous <g>.
How would I use the Access 2010 setting, 'Compact on close'?We have a back end on a server and many users with front ends on their computers. So would I set 'Compact on close' on the back end? And then it would compact when the last user logged out?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a sharepoint database accdw which works well as I can update something and sync it to the server, and another user with the same database can receive the changes just by syncing.
However, I want to share a version of this database with a different start up form, some restricted forms etc. If I make a copy of the accdb it creates and make changes to that, it still synchronises those changes and they affect my own version.
What is the correct way to create a different database version from my accdw?
All I want to do is take the accdb it creates, change the startup form and give it to somebody to use.
Is there a tutorial on how to split a database so that it can be uploaded to a sharepoint site and one part of it allows updates and the other part only viewing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedApologies if this sounds vague , but I have developed a number of reports for an sql database which have selection criteria in certain forms. nothing too sophisticated . The company wants to increase the availability of the reports and the selection forms. Unfortunately Access on everyones PC is not part of the plan.
The concensus in the IT team is that Sharepoint is the route.
Does anyone know what would be required (in the way of programs , expertise etc) to convert or adapt an access database so that the forms and subsequent reports would be available sharepont.
I have had a dig around and I am not sure that our IT boys have got the full picture, I think that Sharepoint is dependent on access but I am not certain.
Access to Web. Is it possible to publish access to web without SharePoint?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to publish my access file in sharepoint but I know very little about sharepoint and how to attain a free or testing or trial account. Essentially I would like others to access and edit the file on the web simultaneously.
All youtube sites speaks to how to get started using sharepoint but always assuming that you already have access but this is not my case. I need to know how to acquire sharepoint.
On my computer there is a sharepoint application which I installed but it seems to have no purpose.
I currently have the following setup for my database which is working as desired when only being used by one user at a time:
Front end: Access 2010 database in Citrix
Back end: SharePoint List
The problem is that only one user can open the Access Database at a time since this action locks the database for other potential users. The locking occurs due to this link to the back end SharePoint list.
allow multiple users to update the SharePoint list through the access database at the same time?
I have a Access - front end / SQL Server - back end application. I use an ODBC connection. I want to publish this on share point. The users have a windows account but they are not on the network. I can not create an ODBC connection for them. There is any way they can use this application?
Can I connect in different way to SQL?
Any help will be appreciaied. Thanks,
