View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a sales call tracking program.a list of available numbers are displayed to multiple users running the a user clicks on a record to get a call screen displayed with client info they then call the client and try for a sale.
the problem exists that two users can click on the same list record and open up the same call screen - they then both try to call the customer manually on the phone. one agent will get through the other will get a busy signal and record the call as a Busy Call. When the user with the customer is done he tries to record a Sale or No Sale and is met with an error message saying the record has been modified and they cannot save changes!!
I need a way to get access to immediately lock the record when it is clicked so only one person can open the call details screen? What is the best way to lock the records?
I have a field that generates a date from when the first input is put into another field.
I know and can lock the "date" field in the form but is it possible to lock that date in the table and query?
I'd like a code to lock a table in my access database so that it can not be mistakingly deleted by the user.
It's a very basic database program i am using for basic reporting purpose. I'd like to lock the master table from the user. How can i achieve this? Any ideas?
In a Access 2003 database, I have an "Inscriptions" (subscription) database with a primary key on 2 fields idPersonnel (employee) and idSession. I have made a form so that user can select a session (in a listbox), then one or more employee (another listbox) and suscribe them to that session by using a button, which, on VBA side, first check that there is enough room on the session (defined by "MaxParticipants" field on "Sessions" table, linked to "Inscriptions" table on idSession), then insert data in "Inscriptions" table
This is working fine in a single-user environnement, but fails if 2 people want to join some employees on the same session at the same time, as I have a confirmation message between check and insertion. Therefore 2 users can select employees, get the confirmation message (at this point both are told there is enough room), resulting in having more people than expected joined to the session. Fortuneatly, if both users try to insert the same employee(s) to that table, one will get a duplicate error, but insertion will be made if employees are different.
On another DB engine, such as SQL server, I would use a stored procedure that would lock the table, do the check and the insertion then unlock the table.
But it does not seem to be possible in MS Access. What are the possibilities in MS Access to prevent a session from having more than maximum number of participants ?
is it possible to lock the " view design" the user at present could run a query and the view the design and change it.

LockNavigationPane set to Yes is not the solution as this only prevents people adding, deleting and moving objects (such as tables/querys/forms).
I have a terrible skill in this but I am doing my best to find ways. But I am running out of time in the development stage. I have the following form and table:
Tables:
Eqpt
EqptHistory
Forms:
frmEqpt
frmHistory
frmEqpt is the Mother form and frmHistory is the subform connected thru eqptID. Now what I want to do is count the records in the frmHistory and Locked the fields for editing. If it is new records, the fields will automatically unlock.
How do I do that because I can't find a way to count the fields with records and lock them.
i want to use vba to lock or diable a date box on my form.

I have 4 users all with the same rights. What I want to do is lock each individual record created by each user from the other 3 users after they have been saved ( I am not referring to record locking/table locking while updating/creating ). i.e., They can all read each others created records BUT only update/modify their own created records. They all have individual passwords to log in.

When I tried on a different machine I get an error message that says too many Table IDs. Odd since I only have 3 forms, 3 tables and 3 reports. Lots of DoCmd's and switching between the 3 forms but not sure why this would create "too many Table IDs"?
I am using access 2007 and my backend DB has a lock on it while every user has said they are not in the front and back end db's. Is there a way to remove the .laccdb lock? I need to modify my backend and this is holding me up from making any design changes.

However when I navigate to the next record which may not be checked the text boxes remain locked. I obviously want to lock the boxes depending on each record. I am navigating via the windows next/back record buttons. How do i do it?
Private Sub Check44_Click()
If Check44.Value = -1 Then
serial.Locked = True
gain.Locked = True
swst.Locked = True
Else
serial.Locked = True
gain.Locked = True

We have a split ACC2010 database, with the back end on our server and 5 front ends on 5 client PCs. I hadn't run a compact/repair on the back end for months. When today I tried, I got the 'database is locked' error. The lock file showed 'Admin' logged on at all 5 clients. The front-ends had been closed on all 5 clients. We do not have a user called 'Admin'. Because my issue occurs for all clients, it might be caused by some sort of programming error in the front end.A VBA bug (implicit comparison to a control in an If .. Then construct) caused this type of behaviour but was resolved in Access 2007.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI've got a database in Access 2007 that keeps track of client data for work. It's been working fine for about a month, and suddenly today other users can't change any information because the records are suddenly locked when accessed from their accounts.
I've already checked that they can't update forms, tables, nothing.
I've checked the database properties, it defaults to shared with no locks.
I've checked the properties of my forms - no locks.
I've double checked the permissions to the folder that the database is in - no restrictions.
The database is split.
I want to lock a table to disallow further records.
I want to have only one record (I would have created this rec by myself) to store initial conditions and infos such Username/company etc.
Any ideas?
I'm also interesting in other solutions than locking a table if sucj a thing is not possible or nt functional.
Tnx in advance

I am trying to define a relationship between tables. The relationship is one-to-many with forcing referential integrity. When I try to define it, I get the dabaase engine error:
"The database engine couldn't lock the table, because it is already in use by another person or process"
I am sure that the database is not opened by anyone else, it is 100% local, no other instance of Access is running, and there was no *.ldb file... What can be the problem?
Hello all,
I have a question, I'm building a MS ACCESS database and within it i have a table for putting in my program critical parameters. I don't want anyone to change the content of that table. That means not editing the 1 record in it and not adding a new record. Within the program is't a problem but if you make an other blanc database you can import the table, change it and export it back into the program (i know it is far looking but it happens).
How can i lock a table so it cannot change or it cannot be exported or imported???
