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'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?
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???
what i want to do is lock each individual record created by each user from the other 3 users after they have been saved ( I am not referring to record locking/table locking while updating/creating ). ie They can all read each others created records BUT only update/modify their own created records. They all have individual passwords to log in.
Good 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.
I have a terrible skill in this but I am doing my best to find ways. But I am running out of time in the development stage. I have the following form and table:
Tables: Eqpt EqptHistory
Forms: frmEqpt frmHistory
frmEqpt is the Mother form and frmHistory is the subform connected thru eqptID. Now what I want to do is count the records in the frmHistory and Locked the fields for editing. If it is new records, the fields will automatically unlock.
How do I do that because I can't find a way to count the fields with records and lock them.
I have 4 users all with the same rights. What I want to do is lock each individual record created by each user from the other 3 users after they have been saved ( I am not referring to record locking/table locking while updating/creating ). i.e., They can all read each others created records BUT only update/modify their own created records. They all have individual passwords to log in.
I want to lock archive records so that they can't be edited, however I want them available to users for viewing. So for example if the file is "closed" the record can not be changed.
I have a form that allows a user to complete a stock take. I would like to stop other users from receiving or despatching stock while a stock take is in progress.
Is there a way I can lock a table, or stop users adding or altering records that match certain criteria. i.e. don't let users receive or despatch stock from with a locationID of 'A'.
I've got a database in Access 2007 that keeps track of client data for work. It's been working fine for about a month, and suddenly today other users can't change any information because the records are suddenly locked when accessed from their accounts.
I've already checked that they can't update forms, tables, nothing.
I've checked the database properties, it defaults to shared with no locks.
I've checked the properties of my forms - no locks.
I've double checked the permissions to the folder that the database is in - no restrictions.
I create the datasheet form, I know how to lock the field, but it lock the whole column of the field. I want to lock the field except the last record field only. Can I do that?
eg. ID Field1 Field2 1___a______b 2___c______d 3___z
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
hi, i have created a table with 2 records.i want to lock the record such that nothing can be done with the existing records but allows to add new records.wat should i do?? thank u
I want to lock a table to disallow further records. I want to have only one record (I would have created this rec by myself) to store initial conditions and infos such Username/company etc. Any ideas? I'm also interesting in other solutions than locking a table if sucj a thing is not possible or nt functional.
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..... I've searched around but cant seem to find anything on locking a table. Is it possible to lock down a table so changes cannot be made?.....(until I need to make 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 created a database for one company. So, this database needs to support multiple users environment. One of the users has problem opening the database. Sometime he can open it. …. sometime he has an error message “Could not lock file”. What’s wrong with the database? (I gave him permission to “Read”, “Write” and “Read & Execute”) Thanks in advance for all your answers.
