Hi,
I'm new user here and I use Microsoft Access 2003 for my applications.
I use an mdb on a server (datas) and form on station over the network (application).
I would like to lock the record edit by user when this user press "modify" button and unlock the record when this user press "save" button to avoid with the other users modifying the recording.
Is it possible and how ?
Thanks for your answer.
I have created a web-database (? - There are globes over all the forms and tables icons) based on the Issues & Tasks template. This means that most of the data is entered and seen on the "Main" form, which has two tabs - Open Issues and Closed Issues. I have created a form that allows people at my work to input the necessary data and save it, so that it will show up on one of the two tabs. However, once a record has been created, I want to be initially locked if the ID/PK is clicked, so that data can't be changed or entered inadvertently.
SO, I changed the code so that when the ID/PK for a record is clicked, it brings up a different form, but one that looks exactly like the one that is brought up when entering a new form, but I locked all of the fields so that the information cannot be changed. It seems from what I have read that I can create a button on this form so that when clicked, it unlocks the fields on the form so that they can be changed, and then when clicked again it will lock the fields again. Is this true? If so, how can I do it? Or is there something similar I can do? I have seen codes that I could copy and paste, but I cannot figure out the place to copy and paste codes in Access 2010.
I have changed the Form properties so that Data Entry and all the "Allows" are set to No...
PROCESS AS DESIGNED: The user logs in and is given a form displaying existing records that are coded (by userid) for that user to update. From that list, the user selects a record and continues to a second form (the first form closes) which displays all the fields of the selected record which should/can be edited by the user (plus a few non-editable key fields). There is nothing tricky to how the records are selected for display. A simple query behind the first form selects data records using the userID number. The second form does a simple record select using the active record ID number on the first form. Nothing tricky -- no modules just queries, tables, forms and simple macros to string it all together.
The user can open/close these two forms as often as necessary and the record will continue to show up until a value is entered into a "completion date" field. When that field is no longer blank, the record will no longer be displayed for use.
PROBLEM: About 90% of the time, things work as expected. But 10-15% of the time, somewhere between opening the record in the second form and closing the second form, the edited record totally disappears (as if it were never opened, it isn't even system date stamped) and the input information is inserted instead into a brand new record.
Users can sometimes tell when the edit record is dropped during processing, because key fields displaying previously entered data go blank and the displayed recordID (autonumber) is changed. p>
ERROR PATTERN: NONE! It can happen as the edit record is first opening, in the middle of editing the form, or at the end when closing the form. It will happen on a specific PC 2 times in a row and the third time be fine. It has happened at multiple locations but not for all people and not consistently for the same person/same pc. The same record that failed can be re-selected and work just fine the next time.
I cannot reproduce the error myself. I have tested everything I can think of without causing the error. I can lose changes and avoid a system date stamp if I abort my Access sesssion, but that doesn't create/insert a new record with my new input. It just loses everything.
I have wondered if a momentary break in the network/communications could break the connection to the application to just enough that the form remains on the screen, but selected record is discarded. Input into the empty form would/does insert a new record.
I have asked the IT Operations group to investigate if a network/communication problem could be the culprit, but they haven't gotten far on this. I have never seen this happen before and am totally stumped but am desperate to resolve it before user confidence is damaged.
I have a form that using "Query A" as data source. The Form need add (edit) a field value before save that Query Result to another Tabel. Is it possible to do that?
The PROCESS simply like below: Tabel A --> Query A --> Form -->Edit value a field -->Save to Tabel B
if it is possible, are there some requirements that have to be fullfilled?
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.
Hi all. I have a form that when I click a button is automatically changes a field on another form and then closes both forms. Can I add anything to this button to stop that record from being altered again. IE. when i click on this close job button nobody can ever change the record again. Thanks.

I have a subform with many fields with a check box. if the check box is true then I want to lock that record(or the form). I loaded this in the on current event and I can still edit the form and or record.
if me.closed = - 1 then
Me.AllowEdits = No
Me.AllowDeletions = No
else
Me.AllowEdits = yes
Me.AllowDeletions = yes
thanks

The following problem. Within my main form I have a status field. Dependent of the status of the main field I would like to lock the total record in my sub form at once. Within which event of the sub form could I achieve this and which property locks a total record?
thanks

Hi
I am a little bit confused with locking subject
I have a table in ms access database. it has some fields.
I access to this table through the application
but I want to fetch the information of a record and then lock this record. close the connection and then work on this information
after finishing works I want to update the record and then release the record.
the locks that I read are a little confusing
would you please help me and recommend a solution for this problem
thanks for attention
best regard
It should be noted that this is a shared database with the BE on a network. I have a process that allows users to create an Agenda for a meeting. In order to make the process more efficient the user selects a drop down box which then prefills attendees for that meeting. All very simple really, until more than one user attempts to run the process.
The issue is that this process runs a couple of queries. One to filter the attendees and then another to combine this information with the agenda information which is then finally appended to the MASTER Data tbl.
Is there a way that I can stop users using this at the same time by either giving an alert to the new users saying please wait and defer the process until the current process has completed and then the new request starts.
Hi
I have a combo box to select a record on a form.
I would like then record to lock once it is selected via the combox box and the combo box to clear.
If a records is slected again from the combo box it will then show the new record and lock it again.
The problem is users are sometimes using the mouse button to scroll and moving to a different records by accident.
Thanks
hi! I asked this question before, and i didn't understand the answer.
I have a form with a subform. at first, i disable the subform until the main form is filled completely. Then, I have a button to enable the subform. This button also disables the main form.
My first line in the subform needs to mirror the info in the main form. To do this, i open a recordset, and then use .AddNew to fill in the details.
I don't want this first line to be edit-able or delete-able once it has been filled. How do I lock it from being edited? Also, if I later decide to delete everything on the form, will i be able to clear the whole form if this line in the subform is locked?
Please helpp
I have a form in datasheet view and on that form I have a yes/no tick box is it possible that when the tick box is ticked it locks the line from further entry.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a table called tblFinishedGoods. There are 3 fields in the table:Serial Number, Model Number and Location.
I would like to have a form that will take input from my barcode reader and input the data for the 3 fields, if the serial number is not already in the table.(I have this already working).
But now I would like the same form to also check the table for any serial number that is scanned in...and if it is in the table already, have it bring up the model number and location for that record.
I'm thinking maybe there is something I can do with Serial Number afterupdate. Basically I'm looking for a way to not require the user to input anything via a mouse or keyboard.
If the 1 form could accept the 3 scans:Serial Number,Model Number and Location, and either 1)enter a new record if that serial number isnt in the table or 2)find that the serial number already exists and overwrite the model number and location with whatever the next 2 scans are.
Thanks
Afternoon.
I have had a search through the forum however am unable to find anything...
I have two questions:
a) How do I check whether someone else is currently accessing a record / form?
i.e. Opening the form (SchemeDetails) like this:
DoCmd.OpenForm "SchemeDetails", acNormal, "", "", acEdit, acNormal
Forms!SchemeDetails.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord acForm, "SchemeDetails", acGoTo, tempVal
Can I check if someone else is in the specified record before I open it? Record Locking is (deliberately) set to "No Locks".
b) How do I check to see if a table exists?
i.e. If DataTable2.Exists = True then ...
Or something like this?
Hope someone can help me!
I use the first record of my table as a blank when the form is opened. Users are supposed to use a drop down to navigate to a record for updating. Some users have populated fields into my blank that i've had to go in and delete.
I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent that first record from being edited.
I have several forms in my database that have a closed (1=Closed) option button. Is there a way to make all of the fields for that record readonly if the closed option is set to equal 1?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a sales call tracking program.a list of available numbers are displayed to multiple users running the a user clicks on a record to get a call screen displayed with client info they then call the client and try for a sale.
the problem exists that two users can click on the same list record and open up the same call screen - they then both try to call the customer manually on the phone. one agent will get through the other will get a busy signal and record the call as a Busy Call. When the user with the customer is done he tries to record a Sale or No Sale and is met with an error message saying the record has been modified and they cannot save changes!!
I need a way to get access to immediately lock the record when it is clicked so only one person can open the call details screen? What is the best way to lock the records?
I would like to be able to lock a form's field temporarily until certain information has been added to other fields. Once the required fields are complete, I want to be able to allow the field to be updated.
Here is a simplified version of the table fields (only including relevant fields):
tblContacts
LastName (Text, Required field, Duplicates OK)
FirstName (Text, Required field, Duplicates OK)
CurrentEmployee (Yes/No field)
Basically, I don't want the user to be able to update the CurrentEmployee field in a new record until the LastName and FirstName fields have been completed.
The reason I want to prevent this is that when CurrentEmployee field is updated, the record is then assigned a ContactID number (PK autoID field) which means that my subform is assigned an ID# and the result is messy if the user decides to abort the creation of the record.
I want to lock an individual record when a certain check box is ticked so it can't be edited again. I've tried setting the form to read only when this check box is ticked on the form OnCurrent event, but this locked every record and I had to remove the code to untick the check box and be able to edit the record again.

Is it possible to have a 2 step confirmation process.
I have a yes/no control box to confirm that the record is OK or correct.
Is it possible to have a second process where by I can lock the record from erroneous data entry or editing? Like a "Post" in accounting.
I have a checkbox which when checked then turns textboxes to locked as below. However when I navigate to the next record which may not be checked the text boxes remain locked. I obviously want to lock the boxes depending on each record. I am navigating via the windows next/back record buttons. How do i do it?

Hi There,
I have a form 'Players' which has a field called Contact. When adding a new record to the Players form, the user has to select an existing contact or add a new one (they cant just type in a name).
(There is a contacts table)
So, i want a button next to the contacts field.I want it to:
1. If there is already a contact selected on the form, the contacts form open at this contact, so can be edited.
2. If there is no contact selected, the button will take the user to the contacts form, but will display the first record in the contacts table. From here the user can select the contact they want.
This is what i have (code below). With this code, if there is a contact already entered, the contacts form loads with that contact select, which is correct. However, if no contact has been selected, the contacts form opens with a blank record; whereas i want it to open at first record!
Private Sub Command90_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command90_Click

DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
Else
stLinkCriteria = "[Name]=" & "'" & Me![Contact] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
End If
Exit_Command90_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command90_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command90_Click
End Sub
I want to "lock" a record in a table so that it is read only and cannot be accessed/edited/deleted. Is it possible to lock a single record in this way on a permanent basis? It's actually the first record in the table.
