General :: Users Logging In And Out

Oct 25, 2012

I am trying to implement a username and password system on my DB. What I have done so far is created a table with username, password, permission level and datestamp. So when the db is opened, the form pops up and someone has to sign in. When they hit the 'login' button, there is a field that will populate the time in which they signed in. This will also allow me to see who is logged in. When they are finished, they will end up on the login screen where there is a close button. When they hit the close button, the field with the datestamp will be cleared. This will allow me to know that the user is no longer on the db. Here comes the question, if a user just closes access without hitting my 'close' button, my datestamp field will not be cleared. I have tried using the "onclose" event, but of course i used 'me.datestamp = "" but the form is already closed, so it says 'can not change the value of this field.' How can i clear the value of the datestamp field for a specific user when a user closes the program the "improper" way.

Logging Out Users To Database

Apr 3, 2006

Is there a way in Access to logout users from a database in order to make updates without having to setup a FE/BE situation? My company is using Novell Client 4.90.0.0 SP1a. I have read some logs where you choose File --> Open (exclusive), but I do not have that option (using Access 2000). Any other thoughts?

Logging Users Of A Database.

Feb 7, 2005

I have a database set up that utilizes the user level security offered by Access. So basically everyone logs into the database, entering their user name and password.

Is there a way that I can log the currentuser() to a table when they sign in? And is it possible to assign a time stamp as well?

Any help or direction is much appreciated.

Logging Changes Made In A Form

Jun 10, 2005

I was wondering if there is a simple way to check if any changes have been made to a record when the form is closed because I would like to create a log of records that were changed. I'm sure I could create some variables to store the fields when the form is opened then check if they're still the same when the form closes, but I figured there's probably already a built-in way of doing this (since the undo button must obviously use it)

Thanks,

Adam

Logging Usage Of Records

Jun 21, 2005

I have a form from which people view records out of a db.
I would like to log the date/time and the key record they view into a table
The usage table has a date/time field & a string field for the viewed record.

I can run an append query to update the Usage table but can't figure out how to get the date/time into the table ?

Is it easier to write the whole lot out to a file ?

Logging On Using Database Records

Jan 17, 2005

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the records stored in an Access 2002 database to log users into an ASP.net page? I'm trying to code it in vb.net but im not sure how it could be done. Basically I think I need 2 text boxes on the ASP page where the user can enter their name and password. I then somehow need to retrieve the name and password from fields in the database (using ADO.net i think) and compare them with those entered by the user. If they match then I want to load another page, and if not then I want to display a message saying login details are incorrect.

Any help on this subject would be much appreciated- the fields i have at the moment are called 'User' and 'Password' in a table called PERSON.

Event Procedure For Logging

Jun 1, 2007

I am trying to output the following code to a log file. What I am trying to do is when a user opens the database and the switchboard opens up it logs the user to a log file. The code works fine when run from the modules section providing I leave the DoCmd.Output command out. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong here. This is my code.

Sub ShowUserRosterMultipleUsers()
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim i, j As Long

Set cn = CurrentProject.Connection

' The user roster is exposed as a provider-specific schema rowset
' in the Jet 4.0 OLE DB provider. You have to use a GUID to
' reference the schema, as provider-specific schemas are not
' listed in ADO's type library for schema rowsets

Set rs = cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaProviderSpecific, _
, "{947bb102-5d43-11d1-bdbf-00c04fb92675}")

'Output the list of all users in the current database.

Debug.Print rs.Fields(0).Name, "", rs.Fields(1).Name, _
"", rs.Fields(2).Name, rs.Fields(3).Name, "date & Time"

DoCmd.OutputTo ([rs.Fields(0).Name], [""], [rs.Fields(1).Name],[ _
""], [rs.Fields(2).Name], [rs.Fields(3).Name], ["date & Time"]), cn.OpenSchema, acFormatTXT, "c:databaselog.txt", True

While Not rs.EOF
Debug.Print rs.Fields(0), rs.Fields(1), rs.Fields(2), rs.Fields(3), Now; rs.MoveNext,

General :: How To Set Authentications To Different Users

Jul 3, 2012

I am new to MS access. I need to know - how to set authentications to different users. i.e. i have made a switchboard containing login form, and other forms of the database. all i want is to restrict user from accessing my main tables of DB.

When someone wants to enter data, he/she can use switchboard but with the restrictions not to see anything else. only administrator or people with user ID and password can have access to entire DB.

General :: Rolling Out A Database Across Several Users

Jun 14, 2013

I have developed a new database using Access 2003, which I need to roll out across various users. Some have XP, some Windows 7, and each of them has different size screens. I guess I will have to adjust the various forms to size to a particular users screen resolutions and sizes.

Is there any way of doing this within the database itself, or do I have have to adjust each form according to the local users PC specification?

General :: Multiple Users With Only One Front End

Aug 12, 2013

Currently the system where I work is set up so that everyone has their own front end on the local network. I would like to change this because updating all of them takes a lot of time for me and skill level for users is too low for me to trust them with updating it on there own.

My question is this:

If I were to create a shortcut on everyone's desktop that linked to one front end would this be wise? I can't seem to get a straight answer from anywhere on the internet. I know most places say that it is better to have the actual front end on the staffs computer but that would make my job of keeping the database updated even worse because staff have multiple computers and this isn't my full time job.

If this is okay practice how many users would this be able to sustain? Currently we only have 6 users on the database with there own front end and it works great. I am planning on adding around 10 more users in the future but if needed they could have there own database as they are separate programs.

General :: One Database - Two Users In Different Locations

Feb 3, 2015

I'm an absolute novice at Access. I have a very simple (yet sufficient) database that lists our company's projects, tasks associated with those projects and when to invoice.

Our company consists of myself and my business partner. We both work from our (separate) homes. Our project files are stored in the cloud. This works well. We have investigated a server in the past, but found it to be cost-prohibitive and unnecessary for our business.

Is there a way that my business partner can have the Access database running at the same time as me, and make additions/modifications? I don't know how this would work in terms of updating/saving.

General :: Maximum Access Users

Dec 9, 2013

I know that Access probably permits around 20 or so users to simultaneously access the database before it start to become unfriendly. However, I have a database that would require 200 or so users grabbing around 1,000 rows of data via an Excel ADO connection to the backend tables.

So they would never need to physically go inside the Access database its self, but instead it would garb data by opening an ADO connection to the database > Grabbing the data > Closing the database connection.

Is this okay to do with around 200 users simultaneously querying the database tables via an Excel ADO connection?

General :: Allow Users To Access A Database

Oct 27, 2012

I am about to allow users to access a database I redesigned for others to use.I am trying to save it as an ACCDE so they can't mess it up. The database is very very simple.6 tables each with only 4 fields or less... and none are related to one another

7 forms.
1 report.
0 queries... it's just a SKU generator.

When I attempt to save as ACCDE I get an error that reads."Microsoft Access was unable to create the .accde, .mde, or .ade file.This error is usually associated with compiling a large database into an MDE file.* Because of the method used to compile the database, a considerable number of TableID references are created for each table.* The Access database engine can only create a maximum of 2048 open TableIDs at one time.* Exporting a database as an MDE potentially can exceed this limit if the database has a large number of objects (table, macro, form, report, etc).

There is no accurate method to estimate the number of TableIDs the Access database engine uses during the process of compiling a database as an MDE.* However, each VBA module and each form uses one TableID, as a result, if the database has 500 forms, and each form's HasModule property is set to Yes, as many as 1,000 TableIDs are used."

General :: Deploying A Database Without Users Seeing Back End

Jul 30, 2013

I have created an access 07 database and split it to a back-end and a front-end with linked tables.

I wish to deploy it an a network of 4 computers, 3 of which are running on XP. The back-end will be on a computer running on XP. Now, from the instructions I have come across online, the Back-end has to be located on a folder where all users have Red and Write rights!!! And I am thinking, if the users on this network can actually see the back-end since it is on a shared folder where they have all the rights, then does that not compromise the security?

Is there a way of linking to the back-end on a network WITHOUT the users being able to access the back-end?

General :: Can Users Without Access Installed Update

We have an access database stored in a shared location. One of the tables in the database is used to record transactions made in an excel spreadsheet-this is done programatically using VBA and SQL.

So here is my silly question; If users don't have access installed locally will the code be able to write to the shared access database?
