View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a staff database in my office which holds, amongst other things a list of staff holiday taken. Presently the staff have no access to view holidays because they will also be able to view other employees details. What I need to do is enable members of staff to see their own holiday, but no others and Im really not sure how to go about it.
I have a workgroup in place; so each user has their own login/password.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks,

Hi, I would like to know how to do the following scenario in Access 2000.
Imagine I have a table, which has two fields X and Y.
User can only enter either field X or Y, but not both.
How to check the above case while user is real-time keying in the fields of the table?
Thanks, Sally
I have two fields on a form. One of the fields has to be entered first in order for the other field to be filled. How can I restrict the user to enter a value in filed #2 before filling the filed #1?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a database in Access 2010 where I've created a navigation form, and I want a regular user opening the database to enter a password and only have access to that form, and not the actual tables or the navigation pane. They should only be able to view, add, edit, and delete data through the forms I've prepared, and I don't want them to be able to get to the tables themselves unless they have an admin password. I tried looking up how to do something like this, and I tried splitting the database, but it seemed like I was still able to go right to the tables and edit them from the navigation pane even in the front-end, and if I removed the navigation pane links to the tables from the front-end, the forms I made wouldn't be able to display anything from them anymore, and that's not what I want either.
So, I want one password to give access only to my navigation form and nothing else, and then a second password to grant access to everything else.
I need to be able to restrict users enter a value in the text box (on Form B) called "FTE Assigned" if Dsum of a field called "FTE Allocated" in another form A is less than what is going to be sum of FTE Assigned after the value is entered.
Both these forms are used by users to enter data in the 2 separate tables which are linked together through a join.
Master table - having FTE Allocated values and secondary table having FTE Assigned values.
Basically a message box would do if Dsum (of FTE used) is coming out higher than FTE allocated.
How do I restrict access to the database while still being able to add a new hyperlink? I tried deselecting the "display navigation pane" option. But when I do this I am unable to add/edit a hyperlink in a form - when I right-click the only option I get is "add to favorites" rather than "edit", etc.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am displaying table records in access form Datasheet view. While business users accessing that form, they are hiding and rearranging some columns for their use. So it will be hard for other users to access. I just want to know any settings are avaible in MS Access or can we accomplish this using any events or macro or modules??

View 10 Replies View RelatedI 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.

This is a database that uses user-level security setup in Access 2003 but it is being run on 2010. An update to the security system is in the cards in the near months, but right now I need to add one more user and I am having an issue with that.
I can add the new user in the user and group accounts form and I can add him to any group except for one. Unfortunately that is the group that he needs to belong to. You can see in the attached image the new user (jschiff) and the group I want to add him to. There already are some other users in that group. What could prevent me from adding this new user to that group?
I have a database that opens into a continuous form ... which has records and a user name in each, which is taken from a table "ASSIGNED". At the foot of the continuous form I put a filter button to show only the selected user records.That when opening the form, Access asks why I want to filter user (do this only once) ... So each user sees only their records.It is clear that the "Front End" is used in a network and is linked to another database with multiple related tables.

i have created a form to enter details into a 'job' table.
here is the part of the form my question deals with.
FIELD- Airport DATATYPE- Yes/No
FIELD- Terminal DATATYPE - Lookup wizard (the values 1-5 stored in a separate terminal table)
basically the system involves entering minicab jobs into the database.
the job may or may not be at the airport.
THE RESTRICTION I WANT TO PLACE ON THE JOB FORM/TABLE
if the airport checkbox is ticked (Yes), then the terminal value can be set (1-5) from the form.
if the airport checkbox is unticked (No), then the terminal value cannot be changed from the form.
if this can be done, how can it be done? anyone..??

I have a database application that i intend to split with the table part on a server and the forms part on each users desktop. It will be used by approx 10 users. While the probability of different users accessing and updating the same form is small, the possibility exists.
Is there a way i can prevent any weird multiple update stuff happening? I'm using Access 2003
I have a list of inventory (SR #s) in a excel under column A. And also there are 20 users using ms-access accessing by their user names. If a user completes one item, the next item from the excel should automatically goes to the next available user. After the item allocated to the particular user, under column B the user name should come and in column C there should be a comment saying "Done" Can i have a code for this in SQL or VBA.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHey all,
I'm having a horrible time trying to get this to work. Basically, I have a database which has multiple tables. All of my tables are being generated with a CREATE TABLE statement. What I would like to do is add a validation rule or something else upon creation so that only X number of entries can be entered into the table.
Initially, I just added a rule that said id<5 or whatever manually to the table in order to restrict the number of entries, but I can't figure out how to do this automatically in my SQL statement or Visual basic. I want to be able to have this check added upon table creation. Surely what I'm doing must be possible.
Am I going about it the wrong way? Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a HUGE system which presently restricts updating a "Final Action" date to today's date only. However, I want to change it so users can input dates for only the present working week. The present coding is as follows...
Private Sub dteActioned_AfterUpdate()
Dim strTime As String
strTime = "07:30"
gintChanged = gintChanged + 1
If Not IsNull(Me![dteActioned]) Then
If Me![dteActioned] > Now Then
gintReply = MsgBox("Your actioned date is later than today !!", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Oops")
Me![dteActioned] = Null
Me![dteActioned].SetFocus
GoTo Exit_dteActioned_AfterUpdate:
Else
If Format(Me![dteActioned], "dd/mm/yyyy") < Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy") Then ' final action earlier than today
If Weekday(Now) = 2 And Format(Now, "hh:mm") > strTime Then
' If Weekday(Now) = 6 And Format(Now, "hh:mm") > strTime Then
' Not acceptable to enter a previous date
' older than 7 days is not acceptable
gintReply = MsgBox("Now too late to accept this 'Final Action' date !", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Oops")
Me![dteActioned] = Null
Me![dteActioned].SetFocus
GoTo Exit_dteActioned_AfterUpdate:
Else
' Previous date is acceptable but only as far back as 7 days
If CVDate(Me![dteActioned]) < CVDate(Now) Then
' older than 7 days is not acceptable
gintReply = MsgBox("Now too late to accept this 'Final Action' date !", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Oops")
Me![dteActioned] = Null
Me![dteActioned].SetFocus
GoTo Exit_dteActioned_AfterUpdate:
End If
End If
Else
' Actioned date is acceptable since it is today's date
DoEvents
End If
End If
End If
' if today is a Monday Only accept final action dates which fall within the previous week if today
Exit_dteActioned_AfterUpdate:
End Sub
Probably very simple but I just can't get it to work. Help please! Time is short.
