Nov 1, 2004We have an old computer that is going to be used as a simple signin and out book for volunteers. We want to restrict people on that computer from doing anything else
I have designed the form, and it is nice and evil in that it doesn't allow you to close it (cancel = true in the forms unload event) or even quit access without killing the process manually with the old ctrl-alt-del (or ctrl-shift-esc) it starts on startup and I have disabled the windows key (using XP so I had to add a binary value to the registry manually)
The problem is they can still alt-tab out of there (despite a NoWinKeys registry key that was supposed to stop that), and they can still change the main access window's size and access the start menu.
The network and local profile is such that they can't do a whole lot if they do get past the form, but there should be a way to stop them from leaving... some sort of API that will regain the focus, then I could just check that the application had the focus every second, and pretty much render the computer un-usable
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

View 1 Replies View RelatedReattaching Back End Database After Drive Change
Jul 20, 2013I have a big (reasonably big) Access 2003 db which I have split. On the E: drive this functions perfectly. Years ago I moved it to an other drive and found that to reach the back end again I had to change the drive letter in the link to the tables. Unfortunately I can't remember how I did it - all I remember is that somehow I brought up the link path and could then simply change the drive letter. I now find it necessary to put the db on an external drive for use with different computers. It will probably be easiest to put "." instead of a drive letter in the link, but after trying all menu options for db, tables and macros I still haven't found out how to access the link path.

Nov 12, 2012I have a Database that has been split into two.
Back-end for all the data.
Front end for all the forms and queries.
The front end has been saved in a accde format and distributed to 20+ users. They have all saved this onto there computers and this is used as an application.The users complete a form on a weekly basis on the application and then save. This then saves into the back end.For some reason I have noticed that a few users submission randomly do not save. For the life of me I cannot understand why.All users have saved them into the back end in the past but every now and then submission for users do not save.

Error: Could Not Update; Currently Lock By User
Jan 17, 2008Hi All,
I am running a access db within a company with about 40 users. I have split the db for multiple users. The only way I have found to fix this problem is to ask the user to close it and reopen it but this is just a quick fix.
Is this cause by our Microsoft servers or is it cause by access. Any help would be great :D
Here is the complet error msg
Could not update; currently locked by user "Admin" on machine 'XXXXXX'
please note that the user is not logged on as "Admin" but as normally user without admin rights.
Thanks in advance.

How To Lock Records To Prevent User Editing?
Feb 6, 2008Good morning! I'm building a database for use by four technicians in a call-center type operation. The call records are purely transactional in nature -- once the call has been logged, the record is closed. If the customer calls again, a new record is opened.
The supervisor doesn't want the techs to be able to go back and edit a record once it's entered -- the records are for quality-control purposes and he doesn't want them gaming the system by going back and changing things after the initial call is logged (let's not discuss the issue of employee psychology, motivation, Office Space, etc.). So I'm trying to figure out how to do that; they all have wheel mice, and I can currently see all the records as I scroll back and forward with my mouse wheel, so I'm assuming they'll be able to, as well.
Any help?
Thanks,
Andreas

General :: Lock File Shows Admin User Active For All Clients
Jul 2, 2013We 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.

Change The Back Color Of An Active Field
Jan 11, 2005Is there a way to change the back color of an active field in a form? Meaning, when I tab through my form and the field I tab to becomes active, the field turns white. This poses a problem because my form back color is black and my field text is white. When the field is active, I can't see the value in the field due to the back color defaulting to white. Does this make sense? Is there a way to change it?

Forms :: Database Engine Could Not Lock Table
Jun 23, 2015I 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.
General :: Access Multi User Database - Error On Only One User

All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.
Database Engine Could Not Lock Table .... Etc Error Message
Feb 14, 2006I 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 :: How To Create New Lock File Within Current Database
Apr 7, 2015What 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?
List Box Causing Database Engine Could Not Lock Table
Jul 12, 2014I'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.
