Relationships: Can't Lock A Table...

Sep 17, 2006

I am trying to define a relationship between tables. The relationship is one-to-many with forcing referential integrity. When I try to define it, I get the dabaase engine error:

"The database engine couldn't lock the table, because it is already in use by another person or process"

I am sure that the database is not opened by anyone else, it is 100% local, no other instance of Access is running, and there was no *.ldb file... What can be the problem?

Lock A Table For Editing The Records

May 22, 2007

Hello all,

I have a question, I'm building a MS ACCESS database and within it i have a table for putting in my program critical parameters. I don't want anyone to change the content of that table. That means not editing the 1 record in it and not adding a new record. Within the program is't a problem but if you make an other blanc database you can import the table, change it and export it back into the program (i know it is far looking but it happens).

How can i lock a table so it cannot change or it cannot be exported or imported???

Lock Table Or Configure As View Only

Mar 15, 2012

Is there a simple way that I can lock a table or better yet configure it as view only. The table is used to populate a combo box in an entry form, and I do not want anyone to have the ability to add records to the table (options in the entry form), but I would like them to be able to view the table. I don't need a robust solution with passwords. I would imagine there is a simple preference to set, I am just not seeing it.

Table Lock - Run-time Error 3211 ????

Aug 1, 2005

I have a form with a combo box that contains a list of customers. Select a customer from the combo box and the form fields populate with general customer info. The form has a subform on it with a combo box where you can select products. Select a product from the combo box and the subform populates with customer-specific product info.
If I open the main form and select a customer, then without doing anything else I select another customer, everything works ok. It’s when I select a product on the subform, and then try to select a different customer on the main form that I get “Run-time error 3211: The database engine could not lock table tblCustomer because it is in use by another person or process.”
Can anybody shed some light on this? I’ve been confounded by it for days.

Forms :: Database Engine Could Not Lock Table

Jun 23, 2015

I am having a problem running a make table query which is based on the same tables that I am using in a sub form.

Basically, the user selects certain records in the subform (which is in datasheet mode) using a check box, then once selected he hits a command button where there is some code that will run the make table query, which I use to filter other tables in a related reports.

However I keep getting this silly "database engine could not lock table" message relating to the sub form name. The subform is not linked to any records in the main form as the main form is unbound.

The solutions offered by putting DoEvents or Me.refresh/Me.requrey in the code do not work.

Database Engine Could Not Lock Table .... Etc Error Message

Feb 14, 2006

I have a live db running on a VPN network (FE/BE both centrally located on a main server , users 'view' their own personal front end through the VPN tunnel) ) and have recently provided a new updateto the FE. Until this time , most users were problem free but one persisted in getting the above error message. Now the new update is in place , they all get it, and this is when no one else is using the db and a single user logs in and tries to use the system. I guess it must be an internal fault ( ie my fault ) but then why does it work for some and not for others?. It also works no problem on my system at home. The user runs Access 2000 and the db was developed in 2003 ( default file format 2000)
Any help most appreciated
Thanks in advance.

Modules & VBA :: Ms Access Lock Table While Inserting Data

Oct 31, 2014

In a Access 2003 database, I have an "Inscriptions" (subscription) database with a primary key on 2 fields idPersonnel (employee) and idSession. I have made a form so that user can select a session (in a listbox), then one or more employee (another listbox) and suscribe them to that session by using a button, which, on VBA side, first check that there is enough room on the session (defined by "MaxParticipants" field on "Sessions" table, linked to "Inscriptions" table on idSession), then insert data in "Inscriptions" table

This is working fine in a single-user environnement, but fails if 2 people want to join some employees on the same session at the same time, as I have a confirmation message between check and insertion. Therefore 2 users can select employees, get the confirmation message (at this point both are told there is enough room), resulting in having more people than expected joined to the session. Fortuneatly, if both users try to insert the same employee(s) to that table, one will get a duplicate error, but insertion will be made if employees are different.

On another DB engine, such as SQL server, I would use a stored procedure that would lock the table, do the check and the insertion then unlock the table.

But it does not seem to be possible in MS Access. What are the possibilities in MS Access to prevent a session from having more than maximum number of participants ?

List Box Causing Database Engine Could Not Lock Table

Jul 12, 2014

I've added a list box to my form that displays a table. This table is completely independent and gains it's data from an Append query. There is also a Delete query, which clears the table for a new set of data, and an Alter query which resets an AutoNumber column in the table (so that new data sets always start numbered at 1).

Here's the problem: Since I've added the listbox and set the RowSource to the table, whenever I run the Append query I receive the error: "The database engine could not lock table 'tblLineSheet' because it is already in use by another person or process." I've made sure to close the table, but to no avail I still get this error. Without the List Box I don't encounter this error.

Modules & VBA :: Error 3211 - The Database Engine Could Not Lock Table XXXX

Oct 20, 2014

I have a DB with multiple import processes to take in information and populate various tables. This has been in place for some time and works with no issue.

The import process involves the creation of a local staging table, to which I import the received data, normalise it according to my own table structure, remove any duplication (i.e. same data imported repeatedly) and append the cleansed data to the main tables.

I've just added a validation step to check for data integrity. In other words, for duplicate data, rather than simply purge it as I was doing previously, I now check to see if the data has changed in any way and prompt the user if necessary (with the option to either ignore the change or update the existing record)

However, since I added this extra step, I am getting the following error message during my import process :

Error 3211 : The database engine could not lock table 'tblStaging' because it is already in use by another person or process

It only appears a) when a data change is detected and b) when the option to update is chosen, and seems to occur after the update has taken place (i.e. I can see the records suitably updated)

But I can't replicate the error while debugging so it seems to be a run-time issue. It's definitely not another user as the staging table is deliberately local (specific to that user's front-end)

I suspect I can probably solve the problem by adding some kind of DoEvents call or brief pause somewhere but the problem is, I don't know where the problem is occuring, so I don't know where to add the line? Or if that would even solve the problem at all?

Is there an easy function I can call to check if the staging table is locked? Which I could then use to debug and identify exactly where the lock is causing a problem? Or even apply the DoEvents to release the lock? (It must eventually get released as if I step through the code, I don't get the error?)

Forms :: Opening A Report - Error 3211 / Database Engine Could Not Lock Table

Jul 25, 2013

I have a form that contains a subform. The subform is a datasheet which calls the results of a query of 4 tables (tbl_companies, tbl_deals, tbl_products, tbl_vl).

In the main form there is a button which opens a report with a historical record of dates of value changes of each product up to a chosen date. This chosen date is determined by inputting a date into a text box.

This report also sources (tbl_companies, tbl_deals, tbl_products, tbl_vl).

When I try to open the report, I get the run-time error "3211".

'The database engine could not lock the table "Tbl_companies" because its already in use by another person or process.'

I'm guessing that because the query for the subform is already calling the table, the query for the report can't call the table at the same time?

Lock Problem

Aug 16, 2007

hello,

Access gives me the following error:
runtime error 3326 this recordset is not updatable
How do I make a recordset UPDATABLE?

2 days ago, I was able (from front end file) to open a table (in the back end in another computer) and modify the records or add a new one. Yesterday, Office 2007 was automatically updated from the internet, and now I can open the tables but it locks me (it doesn't let me modify or add anything)

Does anyone have any idea of what's going on and how to fix this?
thank you

Record Lock

Dec 1, 2005

I have a created a database for insurance policies.
I'm using a form in the database to edit the data in the underlying table.
I use "pessimistic lock" in the database and in the form.
The database runs in a multi-user environment.

My question is the folowing:

When a user is editing a record, it is obvious that this record is set to
lock in the table (--> pessimistic lock), but the 4 records that are right before this record
are also locked too!

There is nobody else editing at that same moment in the database and it is
not a one-time occurence!

Can somebody help me out with this one... I'm realy desperite and I
searched the entire forum.
