Hide Development Tools / Tables / Queries Depending On Access Level
Jan 8, 2014
I have created a simple login form that is based on User Name and Password.the table contains UserName, First Name, Last Name, Password and User Role(dev, admin...ect.)How can I change who can access different parts of the database?I want all the Development tools only accessable to People who have "dev" as a "User Role".Admin can only access the forms related to data entry and managers can view all forms but not the tables, querie and tools...ect.
I wanted a Switchboard page in Access to open automatically when the database was opened. I've done that but, as I did it, while in the Tools/Startup to set Display Form Page (in this case a switchboard page but it's not opening full screen and I ow have no way of editing anything), I stupidly de-selected the options there... Display database window, Display status bar, Allow built in tool bars allow toolbar/menu changes.
Now I have lost the tools Menu, the View Menu and others (where one sees, File, View etc at the top of the window) and I can't work out how to get them out. I can no longer view my Access pages in Design View so I can't amend the any pages.
Can anyone tell me how to get my View and Tools menus back on my Access app window?? It's a bit of an emergency... been up all night and have to hand this in as coursework at uni in about 3 hours and I've screwed up right at the end and can't do the last couple of things before putting it on a CD for my tutor to mark.
Help!
I'd also like to know how to get it to open the first form at full screen.
I am giving two tables and I need to create a macro that automatically updates these tables depending on the value of a Yes/No field. If it's No, it's in the 1st table TableOne, if it's Yes it automatically updates to TableTwo.
So, the best way I saw to go about is to set up an append query and then create a macro that runs it
So my tables have the values FirstName, LastName and isValid (more but keeping it short)
So for my append query, I put TableTwo in the pop up I get. Then, where it asks for the field I put it
I do this for all (it was autocompleted except the Criteria field). I tried to keep Criteria with data only for isValid but that didn't work. I wrote it for all the field names, still didn't work. Whenever I click run it says it'll append 0 rows.
i have the following code that hides 5 buttons depending if the user has permission which works fine.im trying to incorporate an IF statement if there is only 1 of the buttons visible then to automatically click the button. but if there is more than 1 do noting?
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim rsO As DAO.Recordset Set rsO = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT tblUserPermission.UserFK, tblUserPermission.CompanyFK, tblUserPermission.Permission " & _ "FROM tblUserPermission INNER JOIN tblUser ON tblUserPermission.UserFK = tblUser.UserPK " & _ "WHERE Username = '" & Me.txtName.Value & "'")
Although I have been using access for a year or two (self taught) I have only recently noticed that the form toolbox (the one with combo boxes and buttons etc on it) appears to have a library of procedure calls for calendars and all sorts of things sitting there waiting to be used. Is there a list somewhere of what all this lot does? I have been playing with a couple of date pickers but I don't particularly want to go through all of the rest to see what they do or if they would be useful.
I've been using Access as my database development tool for a few years. Now I would like to start learning how to use Access in conjuction with other tools (such as ASP, vb.Net, etc.) to develop web applications. Can anyone point me in the right direction, offer ideas on how to get started? I don't know how things work between an Access db and the Web.
I recently got asked by a friend to set up a database for him to store his business contacts (so he can do mailshots etc) along with some basic order history. I've come up with the basics of this database (attached). There is still some work to do on it, a bit of tidying up and some reports etc but I need to go and see him show him what I've done and to clarify exactly what reports and stuff he wants. I'm only doing this in my free time but he has said he'll pay me for my efforts. I don't feel I can really charge an hourly rate though as I'm still only learning the ropes and what might take me several hours might only take an experienced developer an hour or even 10 mins! :o So I guess what I'm asking, is could those of you who are self-employed, or indeed anyone who has some idea of what the going rates for databases are, take a look at what I've done and give me an estimate of how long it would have taken to put together something similar and how much you would charge for it (either in total or per hour). I'm also sure that some of what I've done could have been done a lot better, so if anyone has any views on improvements I could make, I'm all ears. :)
I am need of urgent help with the following situation:
Currently my project has been developed on my computer with frontend Access, backend SQL Server (on our companys server). Now that I am testing release as soon as I create the package and install it on any other computer it says that it cannot connect to the SQL Server...
Is there something I should add (macro) or otherwise to make sure that it recognises the SQL server and connects?
As a point of note the release will be on the RunTime engine rather than full access.
I have created a small database, and created a Main Menu (form), the main menu starts as soon as someone start my database, i have linked up all my forms & reports into this main menu. now i want to hide left panel bar that shows all the table, quires, forms & reports files (so nobody can access tables, quires, etc from that panel).
I am self-taught on Access and have designed a quite basic database for a friend who owns his own company. This is a client contact database designed to hold information about his clients and their companies, but also to send reminders to Outlook when they haven't been contacted for a while - ie. to make my friend more proactive in his business.
This was a project which I originally agreed to work on for a fixed price. Needless to say, I undersold myself and probably because I am self-taught, with the number of hours I have put in, I probably got paid 2p an hour!
The project is drawing to a close, but he wants to pay me per hour for any further development to the system, and for any similar work he wants doing, problem is I haven't a clue what to charge him per hour?
Any ideas, without divulging your well-earned salaries of course!
I have created a table that acts as a header for my data and a second table that acts as line item data. What I need to do now is add a second child table that uses the line item data as its parent table and stores associated line items for each record. Is this possible?
How can i make the following access level in a MS ACCESS 2003 database? level1----------->[Table A : Data Entry],[Table B : Only view] level2----------->[Table B : Data Entry],[Table A : Only view]
As I'm sure many of you know, Access '07 no longer supports user level security.
My question to you all is, how do you secure your DB's in '07? I just built a DB that stores patient data, and it needs to have some type of user authentication to gain access to it.
I know I can assign a general password to it, but I need each user to have their own username and password.
Why the new format .accdb does not support user-level security? I know Access 2007 still supports the old format .mdb, but why is it deprecated in the new one? Does microsoft want us to buy SQL Server instead of Access to support user-level security?
I want to link an excel sheet to my database but I dont want to link the location with a drive letter but instead linking the network address. How can this be achieved?
In addition, I want to startup application with a command line in a access macro and used this line but it doesnt work.

Has anyone seen any good links to explain why Microsoft discontinued User Level Security in Access 2007? If so can you post the links. There is a debate at my work and I want to get all the infomation possible. It is my understanding that the beefed up the encryption on the standard password so the did away with ULS.
I have a question about user level security / access control.For my database I have a back-end containing the tables and a front-end with forms, queries and everything. I have set up the access user level security.Dependent from the access level of my users, some front-end options will be hidden and some queries retrieve only part of the data. For example: I have a form to calculate clients' end prices. A vendor can only see prices for his own clients, not for other vendor's clients.
BUT: to make the query work, all users need access to the tables and the back-end must be stored in a public place, right? Now all vendors can just open the back-end and see all information.Maybe protect the BE with a password and store this in the queries?
The purpose of this project is to aim the security mechanism an allow and restrict of individuals or group of individuals of the database. Define the security accounts and groups of users allowed to access.
Users: Can view / add / edit of data into the database.
Superintendent: Has view access to database but is limited only to their section.
Manager: Has full access to database but is limited to their section.
Administrator: Acts as the overall administrator for the database. Has full control over all data and objects contained in the database.
Most likely the closest example of this database is annual leave application. If individuals is/are adding data and only his immediate Superintendent can view with limited to his group and the same with the Manager as we have four (4) sections (Finance; Procurement; Services; & Management) in one unified department.
I have have a "master table" with Analyst ID and Analyst fields among other fields needed. Analyst ID is a number and Analyst will be the name of someone that corresponds to that number. I have a separate table that defines who is assigned to that particular ID.
1 Kim 2 Sarah 3 Beth
I have a form for this master table that shows Analyst ID and Analyst. I would like the default value of the Analyst field to be the name that corresponds to the Analyst ID number for the record. I would also like this same field to be a drop down on the form so that my users can change it as necessary. IE. If the record shows Analyst ID =1, the value for Analyst will show "Kim" unless changed to another analyst manually per the drop down.
What would be the best table construction to allow for the inclusion of area information that varies depending on the selection of a certain route, to also include crossovers?
How best to allow users to see all of the areas that apply to each of the routings, but not to be presented with the same grouping twice if more than one routing is selected at the same time?
I should add that I am looking to have these selectable by a combo that is filtered according to the value(s) in other fields.
