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

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.
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 want to lock a table to disallow further records.

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'm working on a database that calls on a table of zipcodes. All of these zipcodes have latitudes and longitudes connected to them.....

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 form and in the form there are sentitive information such as cost price. Is there a way to make it invisible or make it protected (cannot see) and then set a button beside this field, if I want to see the data in that field, I just need to click the button, it will appear with a password(for security wise, this button must be password protected) only when I key the correct password then it will appear.
Hi All, I've searched the forum and have found a lot of info on locking records/forms. I pulled this from a thread but it doesnt work. 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.
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?
I'm doing a project for Tafe and I have some yes no questions on my form and a text box next to each one for detials if the answer was no for tick box I want the text box not to be able to write in ...
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?

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?

Hi folks - need some help with what is probably very easy but I just can't get it.
I am running an access database on a 2 pc network with shared access etc. I can see all files on both computers but when I try to open the same file on both systems I get error message " could not lock file" I had another database earlier this year working on the two machines perfectly and was able to input data from both and the file was not a froint end back end structiure.
also if is any help the second machine only seems to be able to open in Read only mode. I have tried the user permission on the my computer allow shared access but this has not fixed it.
I'd like a code to lock a table in my access database so that it can not be mistakingly deleted by the user. It's a very basic database program i am using for basic reporting purpose. I'd like to lock the master table from the user. How can i achieve this? Any ideas?
