Lock Current Reccord
Nov 29, 2005
Hi all!
This is my first post here so my appologies if I do something wrong AND my terrible English!! :cool:
I have made a database in Access where I can store all kind of information about hardware (laptop type, s/n, hdd size, memory etc.). Now it sometimes happens that an engineer will loose (!!) his laptop or it wil be stolen...
I want to build an option to mark the current record (of that stolen laptop) as stolen. Just with a checkbox. When i select the checkbox "stolen", all fields in the form of the current record has to be greyed-out. But just only for that record.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
Kindest regards,
Tim

What I'd like to do is have an "export button", where the OnClick event, exports a single table into a new accde file. This would allow the end users to zip this file up and send it to me.
Because of all sorts of stupidity, I have no network capability and must send data back and forth via email.
I have digressed to a replication table that needs to be uploaded, once data is entered by the users...
Because the files can get relatively large (for emailing purposes), I am trying to figure out how I can get just one table from them vs. sending the whole application file back to me... It's pretty vital that they not be able to edit the table because that could really mess up the process.
So any way to create a new lock file from within the current Db?

What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..

My company has asked for an issue tracking database with the requirements that if is someone is edditing records it locks that block down until that user is done. I don't have any idea how to do it. my db is set up this way.
tables
tblPolls
tblIssues
Querries
qryPolls
qryIssues
qryFindPollsByID
qryFindPollsbyName
Forms
FrmFindPolls
FrmSearchResultsbyId
FrmSearchResultsbyName
FrmIssueTrackingMain
FrmIssueTrackingSub
The Form Issue Tracking Main has the Sub form IssueTracking Sub
Here users enter the issues in the sub form. The forms are linked by Poll ID
Is there a way to lock all the records with the same pollid in the tbltblIssues. Also to check who is editing them at the time?

I've set up a database for use by a team of approx 10 people. I've got problems with locking records so that only 1 user can edit a record at one time. This is happening in a form with a subform included... Can anyone help?

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

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.

I've looked through the forum but haven't found quite what I want. I am a novice but realise this is going to be a relatively simple one ....
I use an invoice form for my own business with client details and a sub form with invoice lines. The client is selected via a combo box. I realise the danger that I could inadvertently alter the client, so would like to lock the client field when I move on to the next invoice or close the record, I don't want to lock the invoice lines. Can't get the code quite right and not sure whether this should be AfterUpdate or OnExit?
Any help much appreciated.

I made a table containing information about products (price, amount, supplier,...). The most inportant info is the order number (cause it's unique).
Then I made a form, containing a combo-box and several text-boxes. The idea is to find a record using the combo-box, and vieuwing the information of that product in the form. This works, but a problem occurs: the order numbers change each time in a single number (I guess the autonumber). How can I solve this problem so that my combo-box is still available for searching, but no changes can be made in the table that is the source for the form?
