Locked Fields In New Query

Jan 6, 2005

I tied several tables together in a new query, and then pointed an existing form to this new query instead of the old query. It appears to be working wonderfully, except that the new query has locked the three fields I need the users to type in (all of the fields are the same as the old query, and all but these three fields were already locked). The odd thing is that the properties on the field show that it is not locked.

On the original table, you can change the text in those fields. On the datasheet view of the new query, you can not change the text in those fields. On the datasheet view of the old query, you can change the text in those fields.

I can't figure out how to unlock those fields in the query. Can someone help, please?

Fields Locked

Feb 13, 2006

I do not get this, can anyone come up with an idea or area that I could look into. There were fields that the sales reps could write notes into, they are not able to type in these fields anymore. I had a back up copy of the DB prior to this event happeneing. I compared the field in design view and all the values are exactly the same. But the Prior version I can still type in, the newly updated version I can't.

I tried copying the field from the DB where it worked and pasting it where the one not working was, and that didn't work. So, I got to believe there is a GLOBAL lock somewhere available. Unfortnately, the books I have do not discuss this situation at all.

Does anyone have any ideas...I have to think this is an easy fix, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks!

Editing Locked Fields

Feb 22, 2005

I have a form with a lookup, which when a product code is entered, the description automatically appears.

This is fine 99% of the time, but occasionally an unusual product needs to be added or the description slightly changed.

Is there a way around this problem, as when using the lookup, this field is then locked and cannot be edited at all

Thanks

Chris

Subform Fields Locked

Jun 20, 2006

Friends,

I have a subform that I have attempted to lock all but one field (a checkbox.) Unfortunately, it appears that even though I have made sure (under field properties) that the field is unlocked, I cannot enter anything in directly in the subform. The field in the table is not locked. If I open the table, I can easily check and un-check the checkbox. I have opened the actual subform by itself and can check and uncheck the checkbox. However, when I go to form where the sub-form is placed and attempt to check/uncheck the checkbox, I am not able to do so. Any ideas???

I want to use the checkbox to run reports from a query that looks for those fields that are checked.

Thanks,
Mike

General :: Unable To Edit Records - Fields Are Locked

Jun 11, 2013

I have a user that is unable to edit records, He can click in the fields but he could not delete or enter data in the fields. He has the ability to edit records but its fields are locked. I created a split database and created a secure front which I distributed it to multiple uses. The other users front end is working fine, expect for the one.

Forms :: Locked Checkbox To Make Form Fields Not Editable

Apr 3, 2013

I am using Access 2010 and I have my tables hidden in the navigation pane (I don't have any concerns about users finding the tables to make edits), however I am looking to "lock" all fields on a form once a user saves the record. The concern is that when they go to enter a new record they may end up on a previous record and overwrite the information. My thought was to create a checkbox on the table that I can edit each week to lock records. At that point, what type of code can I create or use that will lock records on the form?

Query Recordset Is Locked

May 11, 2007

I have a database in which the tables are located in one MS Access file, and the queries, forms, reports, etc. are all located in a seperate MS Access file (MS Access 2003). The MS Access file that stores the tables, I call the "back end file".

I got a call regarding the database, and found that some how the back-end file got corrupted. When I want to open the file, I got the error...

"Database is not in a recognized format.... You must repair the file".

So I clicked "Yes" to compact and repair the back-end file, and the database worked correctly for me.

All except one query. I have a query that pulls in the main table of the database and then one of the subform queries. Linked on the main table primary key, it is a pretty simple query. This query has always been used to update data for the sub-form.

Today, after the compact and repair job, this query became a locked record set. I cannot add, edit or delete from the records in this query.

I can add, edit and delete from both the tables in the query, just not from the query itself. To make things even more strange, when I try to edit, I don't get the message at the bottom of the query stating "This recordset is locked".

I am just wondering if anyone has experienced this, and if there is something more trouble some brewing. If so, is there anyway to fix my query? Is my database back end file still corrupt (I have compact and repaired it since then). I even copied every table from the back-end file into a new MS Access database file, and I still get the same error with the query.

Very strange, and sort of a worry.

Let me know, and thank you for your time.

Forms :: Total Query - Count Of Fields Based On Data In Other Fields

Jun 28, 2015

I have a query that creates counts of fields based on the data in other fields, basically it tells me that in a table there are two entries with value ABC????? and three of DEF????? , the query works perfectly.

When I create a form to display this data and base the form on the Query I keep getting a message box asking for the ID (key field) from the base table.

If I type * in the box (to denote all values) and press enter I get the results expected.

HELP!!! Locked Myself Out Of My Own Db!!

Jul 29, 2005

Hi

I know this sounds stupid but on my database with user-level security, i have somehow managed to remove administer rights from all users , and do not know how to change it back, if it is even possible.

I think what might have happened is it was stored on my USB drive and i switched computers and opened the db, would that have affected it? :confused:

Is there an easy way out of this or am i screwed? :eek:

thanks, ian :)

Locked Out Of My Databse

Jul 12, 2005

undefined

Hi, can anyone help? Like an idiot I veered away from my intention to put a password on an Access database which holds only a table and a few queries and explored other security options. I now cannot get in to the database at all and get a message telling me that I do not have the necessary acces srights and to consult my administrator. When I look at the properties, I am shown as the administrator, which makes sense but despite trying various, desperate things, I cannot get back in to take the security off. Needless to say I did not create a copy first, so have learned a lesson the hard way. Any advice gratefully received.

Database Locked Up NEED HELP

Apr 18, 2007

I have a database that I password protected. Somehow, in the process of applying the password, the file became corrupted and now I am getting the following error message:

"This database is in an unexpected stat; Microsoft Office Access can't open it.

This database has been converted from a prior version of Microsoft Office Access by using the DAO CompactDatabase method instead of the Convert Database command on the Tools menu (Database Utilities submenu). This has left the database in a partially converted state."

Does anyone know what this error is and how I can retrieve my data?? I have tried to import the files into a new database, convert the database into a different version and compact and repair. Nothing has worked. I have looked into recovery tools and two of them do get me into the database and let me see some of the data, however, the programs are holding my information hostage until I purchase the software which is running around $300.00. Any ideas???

Could Not Update. Currently Locked

Jul 3, 2007

I recently split my database and created an MDE file. Users were given a copy of the MDE file and the BE is in a shared directory on a server. There are only two users at this point in time inputting data into the database (there will be at least a dozen more in the near future), but every so often one of them experiences being unable to input data from their Form because of this lock condition. Sometimes the condition will go away (if they wait long enough) and they can input data again. Sometimes it's User A experiencing the lock, sometimes it's User B. I thought splitting would alleviate lock issues, but it doesn't seem to be the case for me. Could this be a "permissions" issue on the shared directory where the BE is located or some security setting within Access (or both)?

Thanks in advance for everyones help!
Michael

can't log on to database

Hi all,
I was playing with passwords for one of my access db.
I tried opening the db with the password, but it won't work. So, I thought I forgot the password. I checked some posts on this forum that helped in retrieving the password and it's the same that I have been trying. I am not sure if the Name is correct, is there a way to retrieve the log on name?

I also noticed that when I try opening any other db on my system, it asks me to log on, I though I was only applying a password to one file.

Please help

Thanks!

Could Not Update Currently Locked

Dec 21, 2007

I have two db's a front end and a back end db. One of my users recently got this error "Could not update currently locked" Access "3218". I have a form tied to a table. She changed a drop down that puts an ID in the table row and the error occurred. This has never happend before and the locking is set to "No Lock". She swears nobody else was in that specific form either. How does this error occur out of no where? I did add 3 new columns to that table for a total of 30 columns. The front end is local and the back end is on a shared drive. Honestly if anyone can help I would be so so greatful. There is no code used to update this row in the table. As soon as she hits the drop down the new row is created in the table.

Thank You
Jerry

Hi there

I really hope someone can help me.

I used a test database to work on security. I didn't think it would effect other databases. Now I've locked myself out and can't open any databases. I keep getting asked my logon and password for ALL databases.

What can I do? I don't understand why it's effecting me using all databases. Everytime I type a username and what I believe to be the correct Password it wont let me in

Could Not Update; Currently Locked

Mar 24, 2008

I have a quick question. I have a database that is split into the front end and the back end. The back end is stored on a network drive and the front end is housed on several different employees' hard drives. It was my understanding that splitting the database would prevent messages such as "Could Not Update; Currently Locked". However, I am still receiving this message. Is there something that I can do to prevent this error from occuring?
