General :: Set Up Online Web Form That Can Write To Access Database?

Apr 8, 2013

Where does one start to look for information on what is needed to set up an online web form that can write to an Access database? I'd like to learn how I could possibly set up an online registration form for clients to use via a web page. I don't really know where to start, but I have seen some information on asp.net stuff. What's the easiest path?

Online Form -> Email -> Access Database

Jul 13, 2005

I’ve recently added form functionality on my website, which runs with the aid of a perl script and sends the results via an email message.

I’m currently able to import, or link, data from a specific mail folder (Outlook 2002) to an MS Access database (Access 2002). However, my problem is the message body, which contains the data I’m interested in, is all placed in the one field.

I would like the data contained in the message body to be imported into separate fields but I have not been able to figure out how this is done.

I can arrange the data within the email message body to conform to a particular format if needed, even HTML, but I can't work out how to import the data into separate fields.

Tried searching this forum but couldn’t find the answers. Perhaps there is a better way of processing online forms, one which I’m not aware of.

My web service does support mySQL and also has ODBC dirvers for Access but this to me seems like an over kill approach particularly since I don't need access to data from the website (active pages)

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

General :: Microsoft Access Database Engine Cannot Open Or Write To The File

Jul 2, 2013

I am currently using Access 2010, and have successfully split a database, using the Access wizard.However, whenever a second or third user opens the database - with their front-end database file - they encounter the following message;The Microsoft Access Database engine cannot open or write to the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.

I have researched the internet and see that it has something to do with network permissions. I have worked with my IT department and this appears to be resolved!

Is there a setting I need to check in the front-end and/or back-end copies of the databases?Why is there no file name in the error message?

2 Problems With An Online Access Database

Jul 28, 2007

I am developing a very simple little app online that is giving me 2 main areas of trouble. Basically, all this app does is take information from a form and put it into an access db which is located on a web server (it also sends out an email to the admin when the form is submitted, but that is working fine). So there is one page that is the form and it is pointed at a second page that does the insert to the db, sends the email and then displays a Thank You message. I set up a ODBC connection on the web server to the database that seems to be working fine ( I can run a SELECT query against it and get info out of it - I put one dummy record in the db just for testing).

I'm having 2 main problems as follows:

Permissions - the sys admin is hesitant to open up the folder that contains the DB (and nothing else) to allow for write/read control to the anonymous internet user account. Just to test it, he did and I was able to run the query on the page (although I had problems with inserting - see problem 2 below). The sys admin suggested that I "use different credentials" to access this db in this folder and set up a separate user account/password for this purpose on this folder. 2 questions:
1.) how dangerous is it to allow read/write access for the anonymous internet user account?
2. what kind of code (.asp) could I use to access the DB using the separate user account the sys admin set up?

Insert to the DB not working - When I do run this page, it seems to run fine, with seemingly no errors, but when I do a SELECT query against it, none of the data is there. here is the code I am using:
<%
Dim objConn
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.ConnectionString = "DSN=RVU_contact_db"
objConn.Mode = 3
objConn.Open

strSQL = "insert into `contacts`(first_name,last_name,email,phone,addres s,city,state,zip,subject,message,department) " _
& "values ('" & request.form("first_name") & "','" & request.form("last_name") & "','" & request.Form("email") & "','" & request.form("phone") & "','" & request.form("address") & "','" & request.Form("city") & "','" & request.form("state") & "','" & request.form("zip") & "','" & request.Form("subject") & "','" & request.form("message") & "','" & request.form("department") & "')"
objConn.execute strSQL
objConn.Close
%>

I notice that there is a .ldb that seems to stay open in that folder, even when I do a objConn.Close, and I don't seem to be able to delete this off the server.

Any ideas on how to solve these problems? Any help on any of the above greatly appreciated.

Sincerely

johnmr

General :: Code Which Write Changes In Form

Jul 11, 2013

I have form "frmOrders" (Datasheet), columns: "id_order", "nameOfOrder", "worker", "term", "changes"I don't know it's possible or not.

e.g. I have in some record values like this
Id_order - 2
NameOfOrder - folder
Worker - John
term (this field is empty)

some day I will change e.g. nameOfOrder from "folder" to "business card" and term from empty to 2013-07-13. So two records was changed. After changes, record "changes" should has value like this "folder; term" - because I changed these columns.

General :: Security And User Read / Write Permissions - Access 2010

Jul 19, 2013

I'm a SQL Server DBA and have a few Access 2010 Db's to look after and occasionally have to make amendments to (as is the case today). I've been asked to apply permissions to certain users of the Access database whereby users in a group we're calling 'Viewer' only have read permission and users in another group called 'Writer' (original I know!) have both read and write permission.

The database is form driven (i.e. no-one directly accesses and amends the tables in the database), the file is saved with a .mdb extension.

I've played around with the 'Manage Users & Permissions' in the File Menu however these don't seem to do what I need them to and only result in having to input a user and password to access the database on start-up.

Backup Database Online ?

Jun 12, 2006

I read a lot of threads and some KB articles before this, but am still confused.

Can a copy of the BE database be made on the Server while users are logged on ? Max No. of users is 7.

Does copying a BE while work is going on lead to corruption in the database.
Right now i make a copy of the database thru code and then compress the copy for a backup.

Access Db Online

Sep 24, 2004

Greetings,

I have created a database to track applicants’ eligibility process. Mainly, a Head of Household will call or apply in person for a medical assistance for self or for child #1, child #2 etc. I created two tables tblHeadHouseHold and tblApplicants with a (one-to-many relationships) and, a main form (frmHeadHouseHold) and a subfrom (sfrmApplicants). So far, the database works fine and just recently, I was approached first, to make this database available online, so that applicants can go to a given center (clinic) to fill in the application, and we then pull the application from the office. Second, to add a new field (source of Application) where applicants learn about our program (Friend, School, Doctor, Advertisement, other) to create a ‘Source Report’, how many from friend, how many from school, from Advertisement etc.

I’m using access 2003 and would like to know:
1. What I need to make the existing db available online
2. Given the type of report I need to generate for ‘Source of Application’ shall I use check box, drop downs,
or a lookup table?


Thank you in advance,
OCM

URGENT: Protecting Access Databases Online

Sep 20, 2006

Hi All,

What's the best way to go about protecting an MS Access database online? Hoping to launch tomorrow, but no can do without protecting the DB first

Basically, I have a database containing some personal information and I need to block people from downloading it, while still allowing my ASP pages to read/write/modify its data.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Any relative links, methods, tutorials, etc, would be a fantastic.

I've looked into User-Level Security Passwords, but am not sure if there's a better way to achieve what i'm trying to do (i.e. setting up specific access rights to the folder in which the MDB file is contained).

Thanks in advance...

Database Re-write

Jun 29, 2006

What is the best way to go about doing a 2.0 version of a database? When I wrote ours I was a newbie. Not that I am an expert now or anything but things could definately use an upgrade!!!

I need to clean up the forms, etc. Do I just dump all the tables in from the old one and start over?

I also want to completely revamp a couple of things. How would I make sure that all the purchase order numbers (auto number field) still matched?

Thanks for any ideas!

Online Tutorial For Form Design?

Jun 4, 2005

I am new to Access and not a sophisticated user of computers. I've been given the task of redesigning some forms on an existing data base. I understand how to put the new fields I'm adding into the table associated with the forms I'm working on, but I've having a hard time actually moving stuff around the screen and getting it lined up.

Is there an online tutorial or reference I can go to that will teach me the layout basics?

How Does Database Get Locked When Can't Write LDB Files

Aug 1, 2014

I have a database on a shared network drive. All users except the manager have only read access to the file/directory. However, if the manager tries to open the file while other users have access open, it only allows him to read it as read only. If they close the database, then he can open it with read-write. Does access use another mechanism other than ldb files for locking?The weird thing is that it seems to be locking correctly. If the manager tries to open the file while someone has it open, it's read-only.

Write Conflict Error Is MS Access 2003

Feb 12, 2008

Hi everyone,

I am doing some work on my company's database. It is a MS Access 2003 front-end with an SQL back-end.

Recently, I have asked the database administrator to add some new fields to an existing table and two of them are yes/no fields. When I have tried to update these fields, it comes up with a 'Write Conflict' error message and I can only choose 'Copy to clipboard' or 'Drop changes'. But either way, my changes do not get saved.

I have found that the error occurs when I refresh the table links to add the new fields and then try to save over just the old fields and not even trying to add anything into the new fields. Two of the fields are yes/no but they have a default value of 0 and I'm not sure what is causing my error. I read that it may be due to these yes/no fields having no default values so I thought I would mention it incase anyone may have suggested that to be the reason for my error message.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
Gareth.
