It seems I've overstepped in setting up Users and Permissions, in MS Access 2007, on an .mdb. When I enter any of the user names and passwords I've created, I'm told that it's not a valid account name or password. I'm wondering how this could be possible since I'm staring at them in the Snapshot file.
My question is this: I can access the .mdw file as "Admin", is there anyway to unwind this mess?
I am trying to link some tables to my front end and the tables are within an encrypted and password protected database.
When I link the tables, it asks me for the passwork which I enter and the tables do get linked to the fron end..
However when I try to attach the table to a combo box or try to open the tables I get a message which says "Not a Valid Password"
So it does allow me to link the tables with the required password but when I try to open the linked tables it gives me the above error.
I am using Access 2010..
I have recently split my database and added a password to the back end. I am now trying to re-link the tables as I have seen in other threads, but when I do this I am not prompted for the password I just get the message 'Not a valid password'
I must obviously be doing something wrong, can anyone help?
I am using an RC4 vba function to encrypt the password when a user account is setup in the front end of my split database. The password is stored in the backend encrypted. It is encrypted in the before update event of the form by calling a function against the bound password field. My problem is that when I want to maintain user accounts using this form, I want to be able to see the password as plain text.
I can decrypt it and display it in the form in plain text but cannot update it. This is because to display the password in plain text requires me to use a query as the record source for the form and this query requires an expression to call the decrypt function against the password field. The form will not allow any changes against a field that uses an expression as the control source.
I have created a text box for people to enter search criteria, e.g. customer surname. The results appear in a list box underneath. When I select the record it should open up the customer's details but in Access 2013 it produces an error "The value you entered isn't valid for this field". The first sub-routine pulls the search data into a Row Source:
Private Sub txtCustomerSearch_Change()
On Error GoTo Err_txtCustomerSearch_Change Dim strSource As String strSource =
"SELECT DistinctRow CustomerNo, [End Date], Surname, FirstName, Address1,
[code]....
I have table with companies (accounts) and a table contacts (people working for the specific company.
Then among this contacts there are contacts - individuals not linked to any account.
How to relate tables contacts with accounts if some are linked and some not ?
On the opening of a form, I'd like to have an input box appear that asks the user for the account number but I'm stuck on the code to make this happen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to split an Access 2007 database. My company has two locations. From my location we are remote connecting into the server. While down there they are connecting directly. When I split the database, people in my location can use it fine. When people down there use it, they get a not valid path error.
This is because the network drives are mapped differently. I have been reading that the solution is to use the UNC for the back end file path.
"The value you entered isn't valid for the field 'ID'.
For example, you may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is greater than the FieldSize setting permits.
This error happens when i try to filter my results and select the topic I wanna search for. The field size is almost double what my longest field is. I am trying to do is from a table i used a lookup wizard to search that table for all the topics under that table.
I have developed a database in Microsoft Access 2013. I wish to install and run that database on another machine on which I have already installed the MS Access Runtime.
In order to allow the database to run correctly on the target machine, I need to add two Trusted Locations - one for the front-end database and another for the back-end database.
The folder paths on the runtime machine are different to those on the development machine, so how do I add Trusted Locations (on my development machine) which remain valid when the database is copied to the target machine?
Must I trick it by simply creating an identical, dummy folder structure on the development machine (would this even work?), or is there a more elegant way?
I was exploring using User-level permissions on databases so I, the admin, can have full permissions to edit/change etc. the database and certain users can only add/edit data. But I inadvertently have now set Access to ask me for a password for any db I open. Even if it's my own personal one. Can I set up Access to only ask for login info on certain db's, not all. I know that 2010 did away with User and group level permissions but was able to add it back through customizing the ribbon and adding this feature back to it.

You must have the database open for exclusive use to set or remove the database password.
To open the database exclusively, close the database, and then reopen it by clicking the File tab and using the Open command, In the Open dialog box, click the arrow next to the Open button and then select Open Exclusive.
When I follow the instructions, I don't get a dialog box. How do I set a password?
OK, I tried to see if this was possible but not finding much of an answer. So I figured I'd check with our merry band of experts if it even is.
I'm using Access 2013 and I have a database I would like everyone to be able to see but only those that have a password to be able to change data.
Is there a way to even to do this? A code somewhere maybe?
I've been able to find the option to make the whole database password protected but that's not what I'm looking for.
I have MS Access 2010. I cant remove password because when I open in exclusive mode, file, info, there is no decrypt password option.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have to do this and I believe there is VBA code to re-link tables when needed that can be found on the web. My client needs access to everything because he will move on to another developer after this, so what I thought I would do is send him a private file that has the password for the backend and then just write the ADO code needed in the app's front end to connect with the password.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been working on a large project for my employer for a year now (but software development isn't part of my normal day to day duties). Most of the work (around 70%) has been done in my own time at home. The company were going to buy a system that would be customized by developers at a cost of around $60,000. I've developed a solution that is probably better than what they would have got. At my last appraisal my boss said that it had been discussed that i would be rewarded if i delivered it. My question is:
Is it possible to password protect access to the source code? I'm working with Access 2003 just now. I know I can create a .mde file to prevent access to the source code but that would make further development difficult. e.
I would like to know if I can create a password protection on specific tables. Within my database, there are certain tables and/or reports to be view by a selective amount of personnel. Can I password protect just that view?

I do not have a split db. I am prompted to enter my password when the db opens which is fine. However, when I close the db it prompts me to enter a password (not normal) and when I enter it it says invalid password. Also, when I try to change my password it says invalid password and when I try to compact and repair my db it say invalid password.
