Hey guys,
I'm curious to know if it is possible to kick users off your db so you can make changes. Is it possible to send them a message to save and close within 30 seconds, or just send them a messgae. I guess I want to know whether I can
1) Kick a user off
2) Send them a message
3) Send a user a message and then kick them off
Has anyone got any ideas of programs that are avaliable to kick users of a database in Access remotely?
Our Programmes team have a program which will do this and it doesn't involve any tables, etc within the database but they won't tell me whats it called or provide me with a copy of it!!
Anyone got any ideas?
I wasn't sure if this is the right spot for the probelm I'm having, but....
In Access 2000, I have an application with a Report selection menu, from where you can choose one or several reports, key in a from-date / to-date range, select whether to preview or print and then click a command button that'll run the selected reports.
Each report iws based on a its own group of queries.
Until today, everything was running OK, but today, when a certain report is selected, an hourglass stays on the screen for an awfully long time, and then I'm tossed out of my application and tossed out of Access completely! There are no errors displayed, there is nothing displayed.
If anyone has a hint of an idea, I'd sure love to hear what's causing this strange behavior. Thank you to anyone or any group of people who might be able to shed light on this!!! I think I need medication!!
I 'm having trouble with a DB. One of the forms is a schuduler which the user clicks on a calendar control and a form opens up showing orders schuduled for that date and unschudule order. The user then can assign the order. Just recently whichout any DB changes the user gets kicked out of the db when they scroll down thru the records. This is happening on Multiple workstations and rebooting doesn't help. Tried deleting the record but its not a problem with a specific record scrolling thru other records with the same fields filled in works. The Detect and Repair did not work (believe it or not) The same happens on the query that the form get it data from and I tried to copy the table to make a backup but it kicks me out. I'm thinking the tbl might have to many fields (55) but the DB is only 39 MB.

Hi,
I have a table of users somthing like this:
User_ID
Name
Hobby
Favorite_Food
Blah
Blah
Blah
Users can be friends with one another and I need some way of logging this.
My 2 options (that i can see) are:
1) Putting a friends entry in the main user table then comma delimiting the User_ID's in the friend entry like so:
User_ID: 001
Name: John
Hobby: Frizbee
Favorite_Food: Cake
Friends: 002,004,010
2) Making a seperate table with multiple entries for each user like so:
User: 001
Friend 002
---
User: 001
Friend: 004
---
User: 001
Friend: 010
---
User: 002
Friend: 001
---
User: 004
Friend: 001
---
User: 010
Friend: 001
---
The database has to be handled by a web service and/or a web appliction making the comma delimited option occupy more server time breaking down the string into usable user_ID's.
But (and this is probably my actual problem) if i was to impliment my second idea, I'm not sure what I should make the tables primary key or the best way to relate it to the main user table.
My initial thought is to just have a, technicaly useless, ID be the primary key and impliment a one(User) to many(friends entries) relationship... but im a bit of an access n00b so thought i better come ask for some advice.
Thanks.
All,
I have database with user level security that works fine, but I have asked to place this database onto our secured network which means multiple users could have it open at any given time.
How can I setup this database to allow multiple users? I am very, very green at Access. Please don't say split the database...please! :eek:

If I place the program on a server, how can I tell which users are using the program? Also, is it possible for me to kick someone off the program without going to their computer?

I want to create and mde file in order for the users not to change any thing on my design, I will be uploading the file into my server and give them the path to access:
1.3 people (max) will be accessing the database, is that a problem or not?
2. I cant create an mde file I have to convert my db but I have read as well if I covert it to 2000 people who have lower or higher version wont be able to access it, how can I fix that?

I think I am missing sth here, after I set my new group then I create my new user, then what! How can I specify which user to login with? Will the user be promoted for a username and a password?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am trying to create a database that MULTIPLE users can log on and view the data.
Eg. I have a client list and have employed 5 ppl to call each one of my clients and confirm their details.
I have imported all the details into a table and just want users to simulataneously log on and click a "next record" button that will bring up the next "new" record with the details displayed on a form. of course the database will flag this record as "old" and which user called them.
Main thing is 5+ computers can connect to this database simultaneously and no record gets displayed more than once.
Can MS Access do this?
if it cant, would a vb front end located on each computer help?
Thanks for any suggestions!

What the user front-ends required in order to run/view my DAPs that put on the web?
Do they really need to have Access installed (any versions is OK?) ....
or anything else?
Thanks
What is the simplest way to track who is making a change to a record and when they made the change? I've tried searching for help but I'm not quite grasping how to do this. Any ideas?

Just a quick question
Is there any way that I can view which users are logged onto the database?
Thanks
Hello
Has anyone ever made a code to enable users to chat to each other in real time to help with transfering calls etc within the organisation?
Many thanks

This is probably a really easy thing to do but I need to set up users and passwords to access a database that will contain sensitive information so cannot be accessible to everyone.
Can someone please tell me an easy step-by-step way on how to do this, with multiple users allowed to add and edit information (but not the workings of tables, queries etc)?
I am pretty much self taught so nothing too technical if possible!!
Also, the user's name needs to be input into an "Entered By" field in a form automatically depending on who has logged in when a new record is created.
Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Hi Again guys,
I have a database application, front end on the local machines, back end on a server (it happens to be a mac server, but still works). Recently we upgraded to Access2007 on all systems, but left the backend in 2000 format. Ever since then we have been having issues with our users getting told "Too Many Active Users" when they try and access the backend. If all users disconnect and the reconnect it seems to be fine for a while, then after sometime it does it again. I assume it has something to do with the ldb file on the backend. It worked fine in 2003, now I am stumped. It possibly has something to do with permissions but I have no idea what.
Thanks for any help.
Hi all, o.k prior to a previous message i have been back to my manager and informed him that there is no way of updating effectivly via email.
o.k first i will tell you what we will have:
Three networked pc's running xp prof, and access 2003.
Now what i want is to be able to have my database running as a server on one machine and have the two other machines running the same database simultaniously all of them updating.
Now what i need, i dont want to have the work done for me, just if someone could point me in the right direction, maybe one or two tutorials, any pitfalls i may find etc.
thanks in advance..

I am building a database which will be used by around 30 people at the same time. When telephone calls come in they will log the details.
I dont need anything to explicit.
I have one table, around six queries and 3 reports.
I will be using one form with a save button and next record button and a switchboard.
The users will log on at the same time and will log all telephone calls thoughout the day.
Will the database work with so many people using it at the same time or do I have to change the properties.
I searched and doesn't seem to find anything about that question.
I am aware that there are forms that help with building dynamic queries for end users who need to juggle their data, but wondered if allowing them to access QBE would make everything easier (why reinvent the wheel?), and whether it is possible to restrict QBE from doing action queries or using dynaset to restrict end users from updating via queries which may circumvent the rules written in forms for the given data.
Have anyone had designed database with users having access to QBE? If not, how do you provide as much functionality without practically having to re-invent the wheel?
Thanks.
Hello,
Question 1:
Is it possible to use the same form, from the access database on the
server, working with 3 users on 3 different pc's?
Question 2:
How can I send data, wich is in the cells of an Excel file, to an Access
database in a table?
I have a machine that put data in an Excel-file without opening.
Because I want put the data in Access I want automatically, done by
VBA, send the data from Excel to Access without opening Excel.
Is this possible?
greetings,
mulderm
Hi All,
It's me again!!
I have another question.
I'm designing this system in which each end user should has a password, and each user has different rights, some can just read, some can add, some can update and some can delete.
how can I achieve that?
I also want to know how can I disable the auto save in MS access, as we know access does auto save. I want access to save only when a save button is clicked.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Many thanks and regards,
CS.
