I have a problem with a cleint-Server accessdb that I created and works fine. But rarely (may be once in a week), I get a record lock file (normaly 1kb size) which is not the normal record lock taht appears when the system runs. This file does not get closed even if the db is closed. Also, I can delete it and I can access the db again. when this lock file exists, I cannot access the db.
View Replieshow to make my database accessible (read only) on other pcs?
View 7 Replies View Relatedthere is a need to make access database (access 2007) accessible over net. I know Access Database is not web based application. So I want to know if there is any way of making it accessible via net.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database with extension .accdb. When I open it, everything is locked. I can't access VB Editor, Navigation Pane, Ribbon, nothing. It just opens a form and the only thing that can be edited are the text boxes on the form. I can't use Shift when opening it, that does nothing. It does not prompt for a password when opening.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible in Access 2007 to make only the Switchboard and / or Forms accessible / visible users and prevent them from making any changes to structures of tables, queries, forms and reports? I want to do this without splitting database preferably. Even if you split database, queries are not protected. Users can still open queries in design mode and fiddle around with them, thus potentially corrupting objects based on them.
thanks
I have attempted to create a test environment, by creating a blank database in SQL and restoring a backup of the live environment over the blank database (now called test db). I then took a copy of the Access MDB file,and renamed this to testMDB. I then created a new ODBC link to the test db and refreshed the links to the tables by the importing the tables.
Majority of the system works, but I have noticed that after doing this, the forms that access some tables appear to be 'locked', in that no additional data can be added. The page effectively looks greyed out. If data already exists on this tab, then it can be viewed, but cannot be edited. In the live environment, the form shows an additional line is so that more data can be entered if required and any existing data can be amended.
I have attached two screen shots showing the difference.
It's an Access 2003 database which I want authenticated web users to be able to write new records to.
I don't think a Data Access Page is the right way to do this, is it? If something else, e.g. ASP could someone possibly point me in the right direction with steps 1, 2 and 3 :D
I've got a database that is locked down for all users with forms so they can navigate the system and the navigation pane is hidden. On a couple of the forms there are buttons to print the form and when that button is clicked it unhides the navigation pane...???

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a user that is unable to edit records, He can click in the fields but he could not delete or enter data in the fields. He has the ability to edit records but its fields are locked. I created a split database and created a secure front which I distributed it to multiple uses. The other users front end is working fine, expect for the one.

I know this sounds stupid but on my database with user-level security, i have somehow managed to remove administer rights from all users , and do not know how to change it back, if it is even possible.
I think what might have happened is it was stored on my USB drive and i switched computers and opened the db, would that have affected it? :confused:
Is there an easy way out of this or am i screwed? :eek:
thanks, ian :)

Hi, can anyone help? Like an idiot I veered away from my intention to put a password on an Access database which holds only a table and a few queries and explored other security options. I now cannot get in to the database at all and get a message telling me that I do not have the necessary acces srights and to consult my administrator. When I look at the properties, I am shown as the administrator, which makes sense but despite trying various, desperate things, I cannot get back in to take the security off. Needless to say I did not create a copy first, so have learned a lesson the hard way. Any advice gratefully received.
i have this database with tables i can't access, so i had to import the data into a new database , given the size of the new database JoeCruse (form this board) pointed out that it could be that the front end is separated form the back end. and i can't find the front end anywhere
i want to press F11 and see the tables and so forth open up when i launch the original db. how do i go about doing that.
:eek: security levels were set on a database using the wizard, unfortunately the person who set the security did not print out the sheets with the WID etc on it, this person is now unable to open access at all from their pc it asks for a password which the user does not believe they set or if they did set one it was their standard pc log in, however the database and access can be opened from any other pc on the network......can anyone out their help...thanks

I have a database that I password protected. Somehow, in the process of applying the password, the file became corrupted and now I am getting the following error message:
"This database is in an unexpected stat; Microsoft Office Access can't open it.
This database has been converted from a prior version of Microsoft Office Access by using the DAO CompactDatabase method instead of the Convert Database command on the Tools menu (Database Utilities submenu). This has left the database in a partially converted state."
Does anyone know what this error is and how I can retrieve my data?? I have tried to import the files into a new database, convert the database into a different version and compact and repair. Nothing has worked. I have looked into recovery tools and two of them do get me into the database and let me see some of the data, however, the programs are holding my information hostage until I purchase the software which is running around $300.00. Any ideas???
I recently split my database and created an MDE file. Users were given a copy of the MDE file and the BE is in a shared directory on a server. There are only two users at this point in time inputting data into the database (there will be at least a dozen more in the near future), but every so often one of them experiences being unable to input data from their Form because of this lock condition. Sometimes the condition will go away (if they wait long enough) and they can input data again. Sometimes it's User A experiencing the lock, sometimes it's User B. I thought splitting would alleviate lock issues, but it doesn't seem to be the case for me. Could this be a "permissions" issue on the shared directory where the BE is located or some security setting within Access (or both)?
Thanks in advance for everyones help!

I copied Odun's post below to describe my problem. I'm having the same problem. I can't even creat a new blank database without being prompted for my user name and password, which aren't working.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

can't log on to database
Hi all,
I was playing with passwords for one of my access db.
I tried opening the db with the password, but it won't work. So, I thought I forgot the password. I checked some posts on this forum that helped in retrieving the password and it's the same that I have been trying. I am not sure if the Name is correct, is there a way to retrieve the log on name?
I also noticed that when I try opening any other db on my system, it asks me to log on, I though I was only applying a password to one file.
Please help
Thanks!

I have two db's a front end and a back end db. One of my users recently got this error "Could not update currently locked" Access "3218". I have a form tied to a table. She changed a drop down that puts an ID in the table row and the error occurred. This has never happend before and the locking is set to "No Lock". She swears nobody else was in that specific form either. How does this error occur out of no where? I did add 3 new columns to that table for a total of 30 columns. The front end is local and the back end is on a shared drive. Honestly if anyone can help I would be so so greatful. There is no code used to update this row in the table. As soon as she hits the drop down the new row is created in the table.
Thank You
Jerry
Hi there
I really hope someone can help me.
I used a test database to work on security. I didn't think it would effect other databases. Now I've locked myself out and can't open any databases. I keep getting asked my logon and password for ALL databases.
What can I do? I don't understand why it's effecting me using all databases. Everytime I type a username and what I believe to be the correct Password it wont let me in
Help...
Afternoon all,
I have another account on this forum - dickohead, but I am unable to post or reply to any topics with it.
Can someone please help me with this?
Dickohead.
I have a quick question. I have a database that is split into the front end and the back end. The back end is stored on a network drive and the front end is housed on several different employees' hard drives. It was my understanding that splitting the database would prevent messages such as "Could Not Update; Currently Locked". However, I am still receiving this message. Is there something that I can do to prevent this error from occuring?
