I do Exchange administration, but I use Access Databases all the time to manipulate data. That is the only way I can take care of over 25,000 mailboxes with just two people.
Here is my scenario. I have two spreadsheets. First spreadsheet has UserIDs and Names. Second spreadsheet has group mailboxes and UserIDs associated with those mailboxes. I need to send an email out using Access to each of these 500 mailbox owners. In that email it must contain the name of the group mailbox and each user's name (not ID).
I am pretty good at Excel and Access when it comes to basic data manipulation. I know how to make Access send an email out to hundreds of customers at once. Now I just need to be able to create that form letter and plug in the names where there are UserIDs.
Anyone have a suggestion (of course you do, so just put it down!).
Thanks a whole lot in advance for your assistance in this matter. And, if you have an email problem, let me know! I can prolly fix that for ya!
I'm working on an MSAcess 2003 database and I have saved the System.mdw file to a folder on the Server and linked all users to it. When multiple users attempt to log in, they get the message
Could not use 'Admin'; filer already in use.
I have used shared system.mdw files for years with no problems. But obviously the force is not with me today.
Within our client estate, there are a number of types of machines and a number of admin passwords that go with them
I need to put an agent on each of these machines but first i need to make all the admin passwords the same or add our domain group to the local administrators on that machine.
In order to do that I need to know what the admin password is for that specific machine
So a series of attempts with various different passwords and users names are required.
so something like this maybe
dim admin1 as string dim pass1 as string dim admin2 as string dim pass2 as string dim admin3 as string dim pass3 as string dim admin4 as string dim pass4 as string
call Shell("psexec \192.168.0.1 -u + admin1 + -p + pass1") if error = 1 then
One of my user is getting this error when trying to launch the DB - "Could not use 'admin'. File already in use. The DB is in shared mode and other users are using it without problem. What could be the issue?
About three weeks ago, my work computer crash hardcore. Windows (2000 ver) had many corrupt files in the Windows Directory and in the Registry. Because of that, IT gave me an up to date computer running Widows XP. I am still running the same version of Office (2003 Pro).
I think because I have a new machine and a different platform, I am now have issues with trying to administer the permission rights. MS Access is not recognizing me as Admin and/or Creator of the db, therefore I am not able to modify permission rights....... :eek:
Does anyone know how make this db recognize that I am the Creator of it?
On my database I did it so it checks who logs in to the machine (through API), but now I'd like to see if someone logs in to database as Admin or regular user. How is it possible ?
I don't know who to write and thought that I would try this list. Has anyone written, or do they know of, a Contract Administration package for Architects, written in Access 2000 or later? I am an Aus architect who dabbles in Access and doesn't want to re-invent the wheel.
Now there is only one set of permissions Admin, and Admin has no permissions at all. When I try to check admin rights or even read rights back to the Admin it says I need to be logged in as admin, which I am.
Is there anyway at all I can either copy some information from 2 tables and put it in my back up?? I'm really stuck here and need to fix this or I'll have lost considerable amounts of work.
I've been fiddling around with the Tools>>Security settings but I can't seem to find a way where only I can make changes to the database and the users can't just use the switchboard. If you are regular user you don't need password but if you are admin you do.
Does anyone have an updated link to a free utility download that will auto create a backup of my database as well as do a compact and repair at a scheduled time each week. Maybe twice a week if possible! :p
When attempting to open an Access DB that has been transferred from one network to another (via CD and aeroplane!) we are finding that the copy cannot be edited - the access is effectively read only... I believe this has something to do with Workgroup admin rights but this area is all a bit confusing for me. What do I need to do to open the copy up for editing - allowing the recipients to administrate their copy of the DB?
I am setting up a call log for an application. Once a message has been entered, I need to restrict access to the person who created it AND to managers (who have admin privelages to the database). Since the user who created a message needs to be able to go back in and edit it if necessary, I can NOT simply restrict access to the edit form to admins.
The command that opens this form looks like this so far:Code:If ((Me.[Transaction] = "Status Call") And _ (Me.[TransactionBy] = CurrentUser())) THEN DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEditMessage" ...Else MsgBox("Blah blah blah, etc etc.")End IfI need to add something to the initial If statement like this:Code:Or (CurrentUser.isMemberOfGroup("Admins"))but I don't know the correct Access syntax for it.
I need to separate Users and admin on login so that the admin can go to admin form and users to specific form using vba access. Here is my login code
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click() 'Check to see if data is entered into the password box If IsNull(Me.cboUserName) Or Me.cboUserName = "" Then MsgBox "You must enter a Password.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data" Me.cboUserName.SetFocus
Hi all, was wondering if there was a simple way out there, or if someone could give me some ideas on how to use an admin function to either approve or deny a users time and tasks... this wouldnt neccesarily have to a be a daily function... but i would like to have this done before the end of a pay period(2 weeks). i feel like this could be as simple as using a check box to show approval, but i wouldnt know how to have the users submission go into a place where the admin could view to approve or deny.. has anyone seen something like this done before? thanks in advance
Thought I best ask this question BEFORE I run into trouble.
If I were to set my database to hide the database window and all menus on startup so that users can only do what I want them to do and not edit anything. How do I go about reversing this if I needed to edit something as I would not be able to see any of the regular menus?
It would be good if the solution involved some sort of admin password rather than a sneaky short cut that a user may accidently stumble across.
I have a receptionist which uses a database that contains everything in the company ..there is an employee table that contains their salaries and I want to set password for this table so that the admin is the only person who can view this table .......... is that possible?? And the same thing for a form that controls this table!
I have an Access 2010 application running on Win 7 Pro which connects to a Back End SQL Server database. I am trying to get Access to synchronise the client pc system date & time with the Sql server date and time. Please note, the date/time does not necessarily have to be correct, it just has to be consistent between the server and all the pcs running the Access application.
I have tried two methods as follows. But both only work if Access with Administrator privileges, which isn't really practical.
Method 1:
Code: Dim MyDateTime As Date 'Some Code here to get MyDateTime If MsgBox("Change date & time to:" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & MyDateTime & "?", vbYesNo, "Change") = vbYes Then Date = DateValue(MyDateTime) Time = TimeValue(MyDateTime) End If
Method 2:
Code: Private Type SYSTEMTIME wYear As Integer wMonth As Integer wDayOfWeek As Integer wDay As Integer
We have a split ACC2010 database, with the back end on our server and 5 front ends on 5 client PCs. I hadn't run a compact/repair on the back end for months. When today I tried, I got the 'database is locked' error. The lock file showed 'Admin' logged on at all 5 clients. The front-ends had been closed on all 5 clients. We do not have a user called 'Admin'. Because my issue occurs for all clients, it might be caused by some sort of programming error in the front end.A VBA bug (implicit comparison to a control in an If .. Then construct) caused this type of behaviour but was resolved in Access 2007.
VBA Code to go in the on double_click event of a name field in a Subform bound to a table. The subform is just a copy of a data table and within the subform view, When the field "employee name" which contains e.g. John is double clicked, I would like access to Lookup and get John's email in the employee table under field "Email" and launch outlook application and insert it into the To field.
I assume hyperlinking the field can also achieve this similar to what excel does but I am fast learning that what is standard functionality in excel is a whole another story in Access..
I have a query (Access 2007) that contains a field named "email" (which contains email addresses, of course). I want to email everyone in the query and they are all going to receive the same message. My email to them doesn't have to be personalized and I don't need to collect data from the recipients. I don't even need a reply to the email I send.
I have a form which has a button to email the data out in a standard email message.
Private Sub Command60_Click() Dim MyDb As dao.Database Dim rsEmail As dao.Recordset Dim sToName As String Dim sSubject As String Dim sMessageBody As String
[code]...
This works well enough, however, FIELDS 11 through to 16 contain the venue address. This is all we ll and good if every field of the venue address is populated. here are times when not all of the fields are populated, for instance, the address might only be 5 lines.I know I can do this using IIf statements on a report, but how can i achieve the same thing for the email.
I have a database that I can use to create a query, grouping companies by city. I then want to send a specific email I have created in outlook to all of the email addresses in the query.I do not need to include names.
