HELP!!! Locked Myself Out Of My Own Db!!

Jul 29, 2005

Hi

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 :)

Locked Out Of My Databse

Jul 12, 2005

undefined

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.

Database Locked Up NEED HELP

Apr 18, 2007

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???

Could Not Update. Currently Locked

Jul 3, 2007

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!

Could Not Update Currently Locked

Dec 21, 2007

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

Feb 28, 2008

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

Could Not Update; Currently Locked

Mar 24, 2008

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?

Locked/unlocked

Jun 13, 2005

I have 4 yes/no check boxes on a form. There are 4 other text fields with each one of these main yes/no check boxes. One of these yes/no checkboxes will be checked on each form created.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
StaPrimary FirstName LastName VerifyDate ReVerifyDate

StaUp FirstName LastName VerifyDate ReVerifyDate

StaBack FirstName LastName VerifyDate ReVerifyDate

StaOther FirstName LastName VerifyDate ReVerifyDate
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For each new form created I want all 4 checkboxes and its corresponding 4 fields unlocked/enabled.

When any one of the 4 main checkboxes is true, I want the other three and and the 4 text fields that go with them locked and/or disabled.

When I page back and forth between forms I want each form to have the appropriate fields locked/unlocked and or disabled/enabled depending on which main yes/no check box is checked.

I had presented this issue in the past and was never able to solve the issue.

Thanks for any help.

Fields Locked

Feb 13, 2006

I do not get this, can anyone come up with an idea or area that I could look into. There were fields that the sales reps could write notes into, they are not able to type in these fields anymore. I had a back up copy of the DB prior to this event happeneing. I compared the field in design view and all the values are exactly the same. But the Prior version I can still type in, the newly updated version I can't.

I tried copying the field from the DB where it worked and pasting it where the one not working was, and that didn't work. So, I got to believe there is a GLOBAL lock somewhere available. Unfortnately, the books I have do not discuss this situation at all.

Does anyone have any ideas...I have to think this is an easy fix, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks!

Locked Form

Aug 8, 2006

Sorry, i'm an access noob.

I have an ADP with a form in it, the form was working correctly until an ex coworker did something to it.

Now the form is locked, when you goto form view you can only view information. You cant edit or add new records, all the fields are locked.

How do I undo this?

Locked Tables

Nov 8, 2004

I'm having another issue. I've setup a tracking db that is
shared over a network, but we are experiencing an issue
where the tables are always locked. I've setup a entry form
to the main table. It is a command button that runs off a macro to
open the form that goes to the last row to add the new record, but due to the
number of requests, it is always locked.
Is there a better way of doing this? I've set the db to Shared,
but it is not solving the problem. I need to resolve this ASAP, many
people are upset!! The fields I have are date, time, part number, sales order,
and qty.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
jymaly

Recordset Locked

Aug 23, 2007

heh...... I went and did it now......

I created a new security group for a database, just for test purposes. It worked great, until the .mdw file got deleted by accident. I can log onto the default system.mdw file, but now I can't create any data access pages in which a new record can be created...... not even on a brand new database.

Say I create a new database, and make a table with one field. Then, I use the data access page wizard using that table, and create the page....... well, when I run it, it says it is a read only database. I've looked at permissions for admin under the default .mdw file and admin should have full access. Any ideas?

Locked=True Fuzzy

Jun 1, 2005

I have a form that has code tied to the 'on open' event that is going to be accessed by users where we want them to only have access to certain fields which we want them to fill out. The fileds that will be locked will change based on the field called 'Item Number'. The code will be long because there are 30 different Item Numbers and about 10 to 20 fields that we will disable based on the Item Number. The code is like:

Dim Item_Number As String
If Me.Item_Number = "32000" Then
Me.Batch_Lot_Number.Enabled = False
End If

This is all great except that the disable makes the field kind of obscure by the color it gives it. I don't want to use the lock property because that doesn't give you a visual clue that its locked.

Is there a way to change the color of the field background using VBA?

Typical Newbie - I'm Locked Out...

Feb 17, 2006

Hi everyone - hope you can help me (please).

I've built a small db using Access 2000 which has an opening page (form) displaying an image, requiring users to press enter to gain access to the site. I don't want users tampering with my work so I disabled everything in the start up and asked the app to commence on my opening page.

However, I now realise that I created the page as a pop-up with a macro to maximise (not sure if this was the correct way to do it) but when I now enter the db all I can get is the opening page which obviously insists on being 'top of the pile'.

I can drag the opening page away to reveal the first record but I cannot get at any design pages or tools to amend my mistake(s).

Is there anyway I can get into the db now that I've disabled all tools etc, or have I got to start over again?

Thanks for any help you can offer...(treat me gently please)
Duffer:mad:
