Locking Records In Order Form
Apr 21, 2005
I have and order entry/lookup form with a subform to view the line items on the order.
Once an order has been saved and status is ‘placed’ I want the records for that order to be locked.
I would also like to display a message box with a yes/no answer to confirm that they want to issue the order and if they confirm then lock the record otherwise return them to the open order.
I can't find out how to do this, but I'm sure it can be done.
Any help will be gratefully accepted.

I can't seem to find any answers to this maybe i am asking the wrong question, or its so easy nobody asked.
I am viewing / editing some records in a form, I want to view all of the records but only allow edits to records with forms with tblData.Locked = false.
How do I achieve this.
thanks
Steve

I have 4 users entering data via aform. The database is located on a shared drive. They are getting errorsthat the record is locked. I believe this happens when 2 or more people open the form and are trying to enter data at the same time. Is there a way to have each person lock a new record on open at the form? or is there a better way to handle this? I'm new at this and am working my way through.
Thanks

Is there any way to "lock down" newly created records somehow, so that only the person who created them can edit them after the fact?
Obviously, this would require some kind of system where everyone logged in with some kind of userID and password...and even then, I don't know how such a security system could be set up.
Is this possible? If SO, are there any examples of it anywhere that I could check out?
Thanks in advance!

I update the table through a form.
Each page in the form updates one complete row of the table.
I am trying to find a method to block each row of the table (or equivalenty each record in the form) after completing the entry in order to prevent unwanted deletion or alteration of the entries of this record in the future.
Is this possible?

I’m new to access but I have created a table with a form linked to it. It shows one record per page. I just want to be able to lock and unlock individual records in the form by using a checkbox. This will prevent me from accidently making a change to an old record.
For example, when the checkbox is unchecked. the current record on the form can still be edited. When the checkbox is checked, the record can only be viewed, not edited. I still need to be able to navigate through the locked record and create a duplicate from the locked record though. Does anyone know a simple way to do this? My guess that it has to do with the AfterUpdate event? Thanks for any help.

About six months ago I created a database for tracking customer calls and comments. I replicated this database because I wanted to be able to make design changes without effecting the users ability to add records. I have no security set up for the database except for startup options. I am having an issue with users being locked from adding records once in awhile. The dialog box says "Could not update; currently locked by user 'Admin' on machine '***'". The more I read this the more I am thinking that they are getting assigned the same record ID when they go to make an entry. Although, if the users are patient and wait a few minutes they are able to finish adding the record without deleting it and starting over. There are now 22 people utilizing the database and about 17 of them are using it consistently. Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Hey peeps,
Hoping you can help me out with a problem I have... Basically every now and again I get a call from my client saying they cant add a new record, to any table, they get a message saying they are not allowed. I go in and it seems the DB has somehow locked itself and I have to open it up and repair it... it is a multi user setup with the database on a server.... I have seen the users actually end task on Word if it doesnt respond quick enough and was wondering if this would cause the locking problem!? I am just asking to see if there is a setting or something I can do to try and prevent this happening!?
Any help at all much appreciated!!
Thanks
Matt

Using 2010 32 bit on win 7.I've been having an issue recently with forms not allowing changes to existing records or adding new records. These have previously worked for years and I haven't done any design changes in 12 months.
Some forms are base on queries that are based on single linked tables and some on joined queries but all have unique identifiers with enforced integrity.I noticed that changing the Record Source in the form from 'Dynaset' to 'Dynaset (Inconsistent Updates)' resolves the issue. But I'm stumped to what's causing this to happen in the first place.

On my form I have a set of fields that can be displayed as editable or read-only depending on a "Lockout" checkbox for that record.Is there an easier way of doing this? If not, would it be smarter to create a function to do this? As it stands I'm assuming I would have to have this code run when the form loads, when the Lockout box is clicked, and whenever the record is changed just to ensure that the records are displayed as locked or unlocked appropriately.
Here's what I have:
Code:
Private Sub Lockout_Click()
If [Lockout] = True Then
Me![Customer_Text].Enabled = False
Me![ReqDesc_Text].Enabled = False
Me![MoreInfo_Text].Enabled = False
[code]....

Is there any way other than through coding/controls I can lock specific records in a table.
I have a reference table with less than 200 records on it. 5 and only 5 records need to be locked so that they primarily can not be deleted but also so they can't be edited.
I've read about locking it at form level but that, to me, means some sort of coding.

Hi,
I am a bit stuck now and I want to get some ideas from you.
The context first : I am writing a timesheet application and I've got a main form + a sub-form.
In the mainform, I select the engineer, the contract and the week nbr.
My mainform calculates the first and the last day of the selected week and modifies the recordsource property of my sub-form to select the existing records with the right engineer + contract nbr + range of first and last of week. This means that I can only have maximum 7 records for the seven days of the week because the application records only a global time per engineer/contract/per day.
Now I want to know how can I add new records in the subform for the missing days and how to put them in the right order ?
Example: I retrieve from my select in the subform, the times from day 2 and day 4 but I need to generate the missing days 1, 3, 5,6 & 7.
How can i display them in the right order: day 1 (auto), day 2 (table), day 3 (auto), day 4 (table), and so on...
In which event do I have to put code and what kind of code ??
Please help !

Hi All,
I am really new to all of this and used to use excel for this stuff.... yes I know... I can hear the screems already .......... :):eek::rolleyes:
What I am trying to do is lock some fields in a form when they are entered so the data can not be changed after they move onto the next record. I think this might be done in the table but can not be sure.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? or some pointers please. Any help would be good.
Many thanks

I am making a database that requires a list of all the crew people in our company. This list is not sorted by alphabetical order but by order of significance (or frequency of) crew person. This list is rather lengthy and if I add a crew person it can only be added to the bottom of the list. The only way I have been able to do this is by manually resorting and retyping the list. Is there any way to add a row in the middle of a table (like I can in Excel)??
Thanks, Joe

I have a form with a subform. I want the records on the subform to be in alphabetical order of first name. At the moment, they appear in the order the records were entered.
I have opened up the subform itself in design view and specified the record order. If I then switch to form view for this, the records correctly display in alphabetical order.
However, when this form is displayed as the subform, the ordering reverts to the original order of record entry.
How can I change this?
Thanks,
Gary

I'm very confused. I have two tables in my db that should be the same except for columns(I copied one table from the other). In each I have a "default" entry as the first record in the table just to prevent my select queries from erroring out if they don't find a match for the criteria. When I use the following statement,
Code:SQL="SELECT ID, Name, Picture FROM background WHERE Name ='" & Fname & "' OR Name='Default'"
it returns the default value as the record, not the match for "Name", even though there is one(when I remove the OR Name='Default' it pulls the record).
When I use this query for the other table from the same .asp page,
Code:SQL="SELECT ID, Date_Time, URL, Icon, Title, Description, Status FROM Submission WHERE Technician ='" & Fname & "' OR Technician='Default'"
it returns the record where "Technician" matches even though it is below "default" in the table.
I want the query to return the "default" record only if there is NO match for the first criteria, which it does in the second case, but not the first. Is there some way to force this? Thanks in advance for any assistance provided! -Chris Gordon

I am developing a simple database in Access 97, where users have to enter values manually into a form. There is one field called product. Depending on that entry, either field language or country would have to be blocked to avoid invalid entries.
Do you have any ideas on how to approach that problem?

Hi,
I am opening a form, from another form, that is based on a table of 20000 records.
I am using the WHERE criteria to do this, code is included below. I need to provide database access to several users on a network (and only want to lock the record that the user has searched for), and was wondering if this mode of data access will lload and or lock all 20 000 records on the users sytem, or if it will just load and lock the specific record that has been opened using the WHERE condition to open the form...
Advice appreciated.
Regards
Mack

Hi
I want to set the On Click Event of a button to unlock the current control a user is on. I know the code to set the property of a named control, but I don't want a button for every control I want to unlock. Is there a 'Me' option for controls?

I have 4 questions (4 fields) in a form. 2 are drop down menu type and 2 are open text fields.I would like to limit the user from entering data in the fields if one has been answered. for example: if Question one is answered, question 2, 3 and 4 should be locked and should not allow the users to fill in anything. How do I create that Locking system?

I have records which represent tasks and the tasks need to be scheduled. They can be ordered to some degree by sorting the table on specific fields and then by sorting parts of the table by specific fields, however, the final ordering needs to be done manually as it cannot be done by a field sort. So, how can you move records around manually? It would be like a CUT and PASTE INSERT. Thanks.... Lester

Hi,
I apologise if this has been posted in the wrong place.
I am currently making changes to a VB front end for a database of jobs in our company. we have approx 2000 job records in the job table. The program uses a recordset to move sequentially up or down the table, record by record as it searches.
The code is doing its job fine, but for some reason or another, the records in the database are not in order. They loosely follow the order you would expect from 1 to 2000, but every now and then deviates. Obviously, when pulling data out one record at a time, this gives the data in the wrong order.
I did not design the database. There was orignally no primary key or indexing. The new job number (an obvious choice for a primary key) is generated by the exectuable program.
I have spent hours trying to apply sorts in different ways, and reading about how records are stored, and my limited understanding has led me to believe that merely sorting records in access is not enough to change the order that they are physically stored in.
My coding abillity is not good enough code round this problem, and the ideal fix would be to find out some way of forcing an ordering from now on (ie would making job number and indexed primary key now prevent this happening to future records) and to find some way of re ordering the previous records (not just sorting them to be viewed in order).
Am I being really silly and missing something or is this a problem people have had before?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
