My company just upgraded from A97 to A03 (Multi User). In A97 there were only rare instances when I could not change forms in design view while other users were in the same database, now it seems in A03 I am not able to change anything, anytime on a form (and other objects I am sure) except when all users are out of the database.
Has A03 changed this drastically? It seem that if it has it has only made life harder for us (b**ch Moan, b**ch Moan)
Just checking to see if I'm missing something here.
I'm getting the "Too few parameters. Expected 1." error with this. I've checked numerous websites (as I seem to get this often) including Microsoft's support site. Doesn't help in the least.
Can someone explain this to me, please? I have this query generated in Access, so the table and the fields I'm getting exist (which seems to be what MS wants to tell me is the problem, that they don't exist...).
Here is the SQL string:
Code:SELECT emp_username, tests FROM empInfo WHERE emp_username = " & yUsername
It does not like WHERE and after. yUsername outputs a value (i've checked it) and I've even hard coded the value into the query string and it doesn't like it. Am I doing something wrong?
I have inherited forms, some of which somehow lock the Navigation Pane. For those that do I cannot find how the Nav Pane is locked. Is it a form property? If so which? "acCmdWindowHide" is not used in the program.
This issue prevents me from viewing form properties or Form VBA when such an open form is switched to the Design View.
I have a database that has all the employees in my company with basic information. I have a auto number set up for each person. I also have on my form a subform with information about the employee's history in the company. I have bin trying for the last couple weeks, to put a button on my form, that will open up the custom report I made for the one employee, in print preview mode. Everything I have tried gives me a error. The main error I get is The database engine could not lock the table "EmployeeT" because it is already in use by another person or process. If I open the report by itself, then I get all my employees. I am looking to just open a single report from the form I am currently looking at.
I have 2 tables. One Named EmployeeT with all the employees basic information. I have a auto number with the field name EmployeeID. The 2nd table is called IncidentT, which has its own auto number, and records all the problem/incidents with the employee. For example, lates, if the did not show up, or cancelled out of that day, etc. I have the 2 tables sharing the EmployeeID, sharing the relationship. My main form, has a lot of my information and a subform, Like i said. what I try I can get rid of that error.
The only way I got it to work without the error, is when I go into properties and change the Record Set Type to Snapshot on both the form and subform. But then I can't edit the form or subform anymore.
I have a Main Form which is essentially the based on my child table called tblTaskHistory. The Main Form has a subForm which is based on the parent table called tblTasks. I am using SQL queries to feed the combo box recordsource that is located on the Main Form. The After Update for the combo box populates the subForm which allows the users to look at details of a task before he/she "accepts" it. The problem is that when he/she clicks on the subForm to view the details of the task the Main Form locks up. The user, after interacting with the subForm, cannot make an edit on Main Form now. The user has to close the Main Form and then reopen it to perform the "accept" action. The form works absolutely as intended - that is if the user doesn't click on the subForm - however once he/she clicks on the subForm the Main Form locks up.
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?
Access 2002 . Can I condition a field to 'locked' on just one record of a continuous form subfile, based on the contents of a 2nd field in same record?
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:
I have been following a text book to try and secure a database, i set up the Work Group Info File, allocated a password, now even when i want to start a completley new database i have to enter a password.........
AND when i set up the password i must have enetered it wrong now i am completely locked out!!
Is there any way to fix this i cant do anything!! I cant even start on a completely new databse!!
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.
i have this database with tables i can't access, so i had to import the data into a new database , given the size of the new database JoeCruse (form this board) pointed out that it could be that the front end is separated form the back end. and i can't find the front end anywhere
i want to press F11 and see the tables and so forth open up when i launch the original db. how do i go about doing that.
:eek: security levels were set on a database using the wizard, unfortunately the person who set the security did not print out the sheets with the WID etc on it, this person is now unable to open access at all from their pc it asks for a password which the user does not believe they set or if they did set one it was their standard pc log in, however the database and access can be opened from any other pc on the network......can anyone out their help...thanks
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???
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)?
I copied Odun's post below to describe my problem. I'm having the same problem. I can't even creat a new blank database without being prompted for my user name and password, which aren't working.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

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!

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.
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
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?
Hi I have a problem with my access table - I am seeing the following error even though I am using this in a single user environment, don't have the dreaded .ldb file present and do not have anything else open!
'A query or form bound to the table is open, you do not have permission to open this table in design view, or another user has this table open'
i have an access database in lan and when 2 users are working in the same form and in different record the record will be locked ex if the first user is changing the date in the fist record the second user cant change another record http://briefcase.pathfinder.gr/download/adi32/2976/399219/0/test.zip to check open together the forms table1 table1b and try to change two different records thank you
I have 4 yes/no check boxes on a form. There are 4 other text fields with each one of these main yes/no check boxes. One of these yes/no checkboxes will be checked on each form created.
For each new form created I want all 4 checkboxes and its corresponding 4 fields unlocked/enabled.
When any one of the 4 main checkboxes is true, I want the other three and and the 4 text fields that go with them locked and/or disabled.
When I page back and forth between forms I want each form to have the appropriate fields locked/unlocked and or disabled/enabled depending on which main yes/no check box is checked.
I had presented this issue in the past and was never able to solve the issue.
