Logging Usage Of Records
Jun 21, 2005
I have a form from which people view records out of a db.
I would like to log the date/time and the key record they view into a table
The usage table has a date/time field & a string field for the viewed record.
I can run an append query to update the Usage table but can't figure out how to get the date/time into the table ?
Is it easier to write the whole lot out to a file ?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the records stored in an Access 2002 database to log users into an ASP.net page? I'm trying to code it in vb.net but im not sure how it could be done. Basically I think I need 2 text boxes on the ASP page where the user can enter their name and password. I then somehow need to retrieve the name and password from fields in the database (using ADO.net i think) and compare them with those entered by the user. If they match then I want to load another page, and if not then I want to display a message saying login details are incorrect.
Any help on this subject would be much appreciated- the fields i have at the moment are called 'User' and 'Password' in a table called PERSON.

I have an access 2010 web database, modified from a microsoft template (Desktop inventory database) that several users will need to log in to. The database contains a table of products.
The challenge is, every user needs to only see a subset of these products and never see the whole list.
At the moment i have some code to modify an existing query based on the logged in user's details. As they log in, some tempvars are created and these are used to modify the query criteria.
This works well when the first user logs in, but the moment the next user logs in, the query is modified again and the product list refreshes and now his products are shown and not the first users! Im thinking i need to dynamically create a permanent query for each user on log in?
Here is my code so far:
Button on login form has the following code that collects the user's details
Code:
Private Sub cmdLoginMine_Click()
Dim ID as long, strEmpName as string,strZondsc as string,strgrpdsc as string
ID = DLookup("ID", "Employees", "Login='" & Me.txtUser.Value & "'")
strEmpName = DLookup("FullName", "Employees", "Login='" & Me.txtUser.Value & "'")
strgrpdsc = DLookup("MyGrpdscs", "Employees", "Login='" & Me.txtUser.Value & "'")
strzondsc = DLookup("MyZondscs", "Employees", "Login='" & Me.txtUser.Value & "'")
TempVars.Add "tmpEmployeeID", ID
TempVars.Add "tmpEmployeeName", txtUser.Value
I then call a function that modifies the existing query, populating it with this users details for the criteria
Code:
qryEdit strgrpdsc, strzondsc, ID
Sub qryEdit(strgrpdsc As String, strzondsc As String, ID As Long)
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim qdfOLD As String
Set qdf = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("InventoryQryforDS")
[Code] ....
The results of the query are shown on a form, which is what is currently requerying and showing the wrong data. The data is shown on a form, linked to one of the new style navigation buttons as shown.There cord source property of the form is the query that's populated as described above.

How do you calculate usage? For example...
If I've got a field named Time, then a drop-down box with "Morning", "Afternoon" and "Evening"
How do I make a query so it displays the number of each time...
For example...
There's two times for Morning, three for afternoon and one for evening.
I tried using the 'Sum' total and the criteria of "Morning" but it says data mismatch. That was merely a guess, so I would like to know how to do it.
Like...
Time
Morning: Afternoon: Evening:
2 3 1
Thanks.

Over the last 12 months my database has grown in size.
I'd like to delete queries that are no longer used. Is there a utility I can use that will list where all my queries are used, ie used in other queries + reports.
Does anyone know?
Thanks

I have a continuous form with an unbound text box (for search critera) and a command button to kick off the search, which simply applies a filter.
When a user enters text in the unbound text box and hits "Enter", I want the search to be kicked off (instead of having to tab over or mouse over to click the "Search" command button. This is the default functionality of an HTML <form>, so users kind of expect it. But I'm having trouble implementing it in MsAccess.
I've tried using the KeyDown property of the unbound textbox, but no luck, since the KeyDown method occurs before the data in the box is saved. I'm guessing this is related to detecting what key has been pressed but my issue seems to be the order of events occurring on the form.
Any suggestions? This *must* be common situation, but I've found no related topics in searching the forum.

Is there a way in Access to logout users from a database in order to make updates without having to setup a FE/BE situation? My company is using Novell Client 4.90.0.0 SP1a. I have read some logs where you choose File --> Open (exclusive), but I do not have that option (using Access 2000). Any other thoughts?

So I have a query which prompts the user for a username to search by, GetUsername.
Im used to TSQL usage which would be something like:
exec GetUsername 'blah'
My goal is to generate about 10 reports based on this query but with different (hardcoded) input. I do not want to prompt the user while generating these reports.
How would I invoke this query with a hardcoded parameter? (Id rather not save 10-20 versions of it).

I was wondering if there is a simple way to check if any changes have been made to a record when the form is closed because I would like to create a log of records that were changed. I'm sure I could create some variables to store the fields when the form is opened then check if they're still the same when the form closes, but I figured there's probably already a built-in way of doing this (since the undo button must obviously use it)
Thanks,
Adam

I have a database set up that utilizes the user level security offered by Access. So basically everyone logs into the database, entering their user name and password.
Is there a way that I can log the currentuser() to a table when they sign in? And is it possible to assign a time stamp as well?
Any help or direction is much appreciated.

I am trying to output the following code to a log file. What I am trying to do is when a user opens the database and the switchboard opens up it logs the user to a log file. The code works fine when run from the modules section providing I leave the DoCmd.Output command out. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong here. This is my code.
Sub ShowUserRosterMultipleUsers()
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim i, j As Long
Set cn = CurrentProject.Connection
' The user roster is exposed as a provider-specific schema rowset
' in the Jet 4.0 OLE DB provider. You have to use a GUID to
' reference the schema, as provider-specific schemas are not
' listed in ADO's type library for schema rowsets
Set rs = cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaProviderSpecific, _
, "{947bb102-5d43-11d1-bdbf-00c04fb92675}")
'Output the list of all users in the current database.
Debug.Print rs.Fields(0).Name, "", rs.Fields(1).Name, _
"", rs.Fields(2).Name, rs.Fields(3).Name, "date & Time"
DoCmd.OutputTo ([rs.Fields(0).Name], [""], [rs.Fields(1).Name],[ _
""], [rs.Fields(2).Name], [rs.Fields(3).Name], ["date & Time"]), cn.OpenSchema, acFormatTXT, "c:databaselog.txt", True

I am trying to implement a username and password system on my DB. What I have done so far is created a table with username, password, permission level and datestamp. So when the db is opened, the form pops up and someone has to sign in. When they hit the 'login' button, there is a field that will populate the time in which they signed in. This will also allow me to see who is logged in. When they are finished, they will end up on the login screen where there is a close button. When they hit the close button, the field with the datestamp will be cleared. This will allow me to know that the user is no longer on the db. Here comes the question, if a user just closes access without hitting my 'close' button, my datestamp field will not be cleared. I have tried using the "onclose" event, but of course i used 'me.datestamp = "" but the form is already closed, so it says 'can not change the value of this field.' How can i clear the value of the datestamp field for a specific user when a user closes the program the "improper" way.

Hello All,
Is it possible to generate a query that can calculate the 'TotalMins' that an event covers our peak times?
I.e. Our peak times are 0700 to 1000 if we have a start time of 0600 and a finish time of 0900 is it possible for the query to work out that we have covered 120 mins of the peak period?
Thanks for any help provided!:)

I am trying to add the name of the employee show up in on the opening form after logging into the database. I am able to get the user right (Admin only), but not the name. In the Default Value in Properties, I have it set to =CurrentUser() and I have the Employee field in the Control Source to record current user.
How can I make this so it indicate the user logged in?

Hi
About 10 years ago I wrote an Access application which is still in use. Over the years certain parts have become superfluous and new parts have been added by a variety of users. Thankfully they have stuck to the original ideal and only used macros and queries - and not modules of badly written code.
However, the system is beginning to creak and I have been asked to rewrite the system from scratch with a shiny new interface, cutting the dead wood and incorporating those new features that did not have a half life of one report.
I would like to be able to monitor the use of the system in order to be able to determine just which tables, forms, queries & reports are being used. I'm not interested in auditing who added what to which table, so a 'normal' audit system is not required. Can anyone tell me how I would record which of the above are being used and how regularly?
I have asked the users and (of course) they don't know.
TIA

This is very strange. I have converted two computers from 2003 to 2007. I have also installed 5 2007's on to new computers. All of these are Professional XP sp2 setups. I copied over a database to woek on those computers. Originally the performance was very good, on all of the computers (but not the lowest specified converted laptop ) exitting from a form containing a subform takes 37 seconds. The word Calculating... is on the status bar. The laptop takes 3 seconds par with what it used to do.
I have transferred the 'Data' database, the 'Apps' database, Utility.mda and another .MDA. I have also transferred all the Reference executables to one of the other computers. This has not made a jot of improvement.
Has anyone any pointers. I have exhausted all the resources trying to find a solution to this one.

I have written a large database for the school I used to work for. In the main table there is a field named "Active" which is text with yes or no choices.Is there a way to find in what objects this field is being used in the database?
For the life of me I can't remember why I put this field in or if its even used now.This database has had many versions over the years.
I have searched many of the queries but can not find where this field is used.If there isn't a way I plan to backup, remove field from table and test all the features of the program to see which crashes. However I'm hoping there might be a quicker way.This was one of the first DB I wrote and didn't pay much attention to mapping or keeping notes back then.

I have build a database with which I can create quite a lot of reports. When creating them I run out of memory with run time error "2004".
When investigating I detected that a lot of memory is used when creating the reports in PrintPreview mode. When closing the reports the memory is not automatically freed.
Is there a way to enforce garbage collection? Local variables of called routines I set to Nothing.

I have a split database made in Access 2007. Each user gets their own copy of the frontend from a script. I wanted to be able to edit the design view of the backend tables even if people were using the database so I made all the forms use snapshot source and only allowed data updates through VBA macro update queries. Having any form open locks the backend source table from being edited. In fact, I've found that just having a normal snapshot query open causes the message "Either an object bound to table 'whatever' is open or another user has the table open. Do you want to open the table as read-only?"
Is there some way to have a table be the source for a form or query, but still have it designable under most circumstances?
Attempted to late-bind a recordset on form load; result was the same:
Code:
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select redacted as ft from tblRedacted ", dbOpenSnapshot, dbReadOnly)
Set Me.Recordset = rs
Set rs = Nothing

In an Access 2010 form is it possible to export select records and fields in those records to a specific location?
Code:
Set objDialog = Application.FileDialog(4)
With objDialog
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Title = "Please select a File"
.InitialFilename = "C:"
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox ("Action Cancelled")
Else
[code]....
The user can select the directory using the code above, but can specific fields in records be exported to a excel workbook in that selected directory?For example, if the are 5 records in the database can the fields LastName,FirstName,BirthDate in records 1,2,3 be exported to Setup.xlsx in that selected directory?

I have a table (tbl Team Info) which contains names and codes for teams within my business (>400 records) and another table (tbl Process) which contains a list of high level tasks (30 records).
I need to create something where for each team name 9in tbl Team Info) I can map them to the tasks that they undertake (in tbl Process) and assign a percentage of time then spend on each task. Each team could map to several different tasks.

In my simple database (attached), I need to mass duplicate Tasks and their Notes.
I have three tables: tbTasks (PK: Task_ID), tbNotes (PK: Note_ID), jtbTaskNotes (FKs: Task_ID and Note_ID). jtbTaskNotes is my many-to-many junction table that ties Tasks to Notes.
The main form (fmTasks), bound to tbTasks, has a subform (sbfm_TaskNotes) that displays notes associated with each Task. On themain form,you select which Tasks you want duplicated via a checkbox. The append query (quCopyTasks) will duplicate all tasks that have the checkbox checked. All good there. However, I can't figure out how to also duplicate each task's Notes.
I found Allen Browne's solution [URL] ....., but that only handles duplication of one record at a time, whereas I need to duplicate many records at a time (sometimes 10+ records). How do I go about duplicating multiple Tasks and their associated Notes?
Before you ask "why are you duplicating records?": There are times when tasks need to be re-accomplished and therefore need to have a new record. It's easier to duplicate records than it is to hand-jam everything again.
