Locking Down Records?

Feb 13, 2008

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!

Records Locking

Aug 11, 2005

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?

Locking Records?

Sep 30, 2006

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.

Locking Records In A Form

Feb 9, 2006

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

Locking Users From Records

Jan 18, 2005

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.

Error Adding New Records - DB Locking?

Mar 5, 2008

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

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.

General :: Records Locking - Won't Allow Updates

Nov 8, 2013

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.

Modules & VBA :: Set Of Fields - Method For Locking Records?

Aug 20, 2013

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]....

Tables :: Locking Specific Records In A Table

Mar 18, 2014

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 just recently split my Access db (FE/BE), copied the FE to each of the clients, and it seemed to be working fine. This morning however, two users went into the db, and the second user kept getting the error can't find the file \servernameshare_namedb_fe.mdb. Now, none of my users can launch it. How can I resolve this? Will this keep happening?

Locking Down An .mdb File

Feb 8, 2006

I have to send an access application out to some people who need to preview it's functionality. What is the best way for me to send this .mdb file to them so they can use it (tables, forms, queries, macros and functions) but still keep them from opeing up the objects and viewing the code behind them? Is there a way of sending the .mdb file out so that objects cannot be seen in design mode and the objects cannot be viewed other than through the flow of the application? As you might have already guessed, I am new at securing an .mdb file for outside use. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Locking A Invoice

Jan 18, 2007

Hi,

I don't know whether you can help :D But i am in need of some code/guidence, or a way to go about trying to do what i want to achieve.

Basically, i am creating a invoice producing software in Microsoft Access, based upon Computing parts resaleing.

Because the supplier, i use changes the prices daily, when i type the products into the Parts Table, the price being typed in will change for the next customer to have the same part.

Basically because i am using this software to produce Profit and Loss, The invoice will be looking back at the Parts table, and changing the unit costs for invoices which are say weeks old.

I am wondering whether i can "lock" the invoice so it cannot be updated from the Parts list and keep the profit the same, so i get an accruate result when i come to look at it.

I will apprechaite any help or guidance.

Regards

Locking Down Access '07

Mar 19, 2007

So with the help of many of you on this site, I was able to build my first Access database. Thank you all.

Now that I'm all done, I have one final thing to figure out.

I have incorporated user authentication into the database for a minimal level of security. Everything finally works like it should, however there is one "flaw" I have found.

In "Access Options" I have the login form set to open when the DB is open, and navigation and ribbon/toolbars are deactivated so only the login form and "Home" ribbon are showing when the DB is opened.

The problem with this, is that a curious user that shouldn't have access could get access fairly easily.

If they right clicked the "Home" ribbon, then left clicked "Customize Quick Access Toolbar", they could change the default form to whatever they wanted. Thus bypassing the login form and nullifying any security that it offered. Ideally, there should be no ribbons or toolbars. I just don't know how to get rid of them.

Has anyone else run into this problem?

MDE Locking Issue

Jan 15, 2008

I have an Access Front-end that I made into an MDE file. I loaded the MDE onto a server and now there are multiple people accessing the MDE file via shortcuts on their desktop. I noticed since this update went into effect that the MDB file that the MDE file was made from is being locked when people are using the MDE file. I thought I could have made a mistake with one of the shortcuts and that a user was accessing the MDB file instead of the MDE but I had the Network Admin check and no one was in the MDB file at the time it was locked.

I'm wondering if the MDB file should be locked while a user is in the MDE file or if it's a bug?

Thanks,
Michael O'Brien

Why Is Locking Occuring?

Feb 8, 2005

I have a fixed length .txt which I am linking into a MS Access 2002 d/b.
My options are set to :
default open mode -shared
default record locking - no locks
Open database using record level locking is unchecked
the (datasheet) form is set to:
allow edits/deletions/additions - no
recordset type - snapshot
record locks - no locks
the text box objects are set to:
enabled - no
locked - no

I have no requery actions associated with any events at all.

My problem is that while the form is active I am unable to open the source .txt and if it is already open I cannot save it. There is obviosuly a lock occuring on the .txt object - how can I prevent it occuring?

thanks!

Locking A Database

Feb 17, 2005

I have looked on the forums and cant quite find what im looking for so i wanted to ask you lot for help.

I have a database i have created.

It will be sent out to people to populate via a series of forms i have created.

How can I lock it down so that:
1) you cant access any of the database apart from the forms
2) Lock it so no one can get in to view the code anywhere or make any amendments to the forms and database what so ever
