I use MS Access a lot for my work but a few days ago when I opened Access it asked for a username and password. I didn't set anyway passwords so tried to log on using the username: admin and a blank password which didn't work. I have tried every username and password combination that I could have used but nothing seems to work.
Is there anyway for sorting this out so that I can use Access again?
How can you get the user's logon name or ID?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, i want to add security into my database, but i dont want to use the built-in workgroup security.
Is it possible to create a login screen that will allow different access rights depending on the username? If so can sum1 please help me with the code?
Cheers Guys :)
Every time I open up access I get a logon box which asks for the admin password. This applies to any database project I open. I for the life of me can't figure out how it was turned on, but it still has the generic password associated with it(thank god).
I am trying to rid myself of having to type it in every single time I open up a database project. I have tried to delete it in the security section of tools and it won't allow me to delete the admin.
This is incredibly annoying because neither of the database projects requires a password, and I am not even the one that created the projects. I am merely a user.
Any suggestions on how to rid myself of this annoying problem?
This 2007 is driving me to drink.
Convert from 2003 to 2007 a few minor problems.
Did not save in a accdb and accde file format.
The users I had listed in wrkgroup did not come over. Ok no problem I will add them.
I located the users amd Permissions in 2007.
My question when I add the users and assign the permissions, will they get a log on screen like it did for 2003?
Previously posted in General but got no response so decided to move to forms area.
I want to hide as many toolbar options/menus as I can on startup, so the user is very limited as to what they can do with the database.
I am using the multiuser logon option so each user has their own user name and password.
By hiding the menu, it also locks out the option to change their password.
I want to give users the ability to load the User and Group accounts/change logon screen only.
What I was thinking was calling this option from a command button on a form.
ie, Once clicked, it takes you to the generic Change Logon screen with the need for the menus to be enabled.
Can this be done?
If not, is there an alternative.
Thanks

I've just made a major mistake....
On messing about with my start up settings i have managed to lock myself out...!!! what a ****!!
how do I / where do I look to reverse these??
Please help
I have a database that I have secured by using Access 2003 user security. I need for the database to allow the user to login and once they have logged, to open a form and filter out only their open "tickets" - records.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance.
:confused: :(
I think I am in the correct area of this forums, if I am not, please forgive me. Anyway, this is way over the top of my head and I need desperate help! Here goes…..I am finally finished exporting an Excel spreadsheet that contained over 6,000 entries into a continuous form in Access 2003, and before I move it to the shared drive, I have a few questions/concerns.
I work with a group of employees totaling 15. Out of the 15 of us, 4 will be issued editing rights, and the others read only rights and I will be the administrator/creator/owner of the database. Here are my concerns:
1. It is a MUST that the 4 with editing rights be able to work in the same form, (the form consists of daily updates i.e.: (purging, entering, deleting and fixing of data) in different areas of this form, and maybe at the same time?
2. In addition, will the 4 of us be able to save the updates entered separately, and have the most recent data which was entered updated for others to view? (I know in Excel we were able to do so).
3. Will the users with read only rights be able to fill out other forms in the database or should I assign some degree of editing rights?
4. Also, although rare, will there be a problem if all 15 employees are in the same database completing other forms at the same time?
5. We have a few employees who work from home and log into our system via Citrix. Will they have a problem logging into the database and completing the forms?
This is where I am TOTALLY CLUELESS and need help DESPERATELY!! Is there a step by step way of doing this? (please say yes! please say yes!) I am sure I will need to create a shortcut for all users and I will also need help on how to do that also. Currently, there is no user id or password set up for anyone of us since we have a specific shared drive designated for our group/department.
I welcome any suggestions you may have.
THANKS!
Platform: Windows XP - government network
The government recently went through a migration of all networked directories to a central repository -- that was in June. I recently discovered that one of my database users, who happened to be working from home that past month, was not migrated properly.
Problem. The home user was still entering projects into the non-migrated location, while the users at the office, are entering data into the new location. Therefore major information is not showing up.
Need to urgently pull the project data into the current database.
But, I cannot simply import this data because it will wipe out the data I've entered into this table.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Barb
Hi all,
Yesterday my database crashed. It is the 'DEV' version for my application - so all of the current fixes/changes are in there and I have forgotten to backup!
It crashes when ever I try to enter the VBA editor, or build code. This occurred after a minor problem running some code (I forget which code).
Here is the error signature -
AppName: msaccess.exe AppVer: 11.0.6566.0 AppStamp:42cdb33e
ModName: vbe6.dll ModVer: 6.4.99.72 ModStamp:40b29ba6
fDebug: 0 Offset: 0008baa8
The same occurs when I try to get into the code builder in the repaired version access generates...I have also tried using compact & repair to get in - but still no joy.
Can anyone offer any advice workaround to get this up and running again?
Cheers
Robert
I'm trying to write a database for work (accounting firm).
I would like to start out with about 5 tables.
1) Client Information: Would include name, phone, etc and a
field that stated what kind of client (F/S or Tax).
2) F/S Tracking: Would include name and date in, date started,etc.
3) Tax Tracking: Would include name and date in, completed, submitted to gov.
4) Employees: the names of the firms employees.
5) Job Jar: Would include employee name, and which client(s) they should work on.
What I need help with is the data entry form for the Client information.
I would like to have it so I only enter the Client Name once, and only once, and not only
will it update the client name field in the Client Information table, but the corresponding field in
the F/S Tracking table (if the client type in the Client information table = "F/S") and the Tax Tracking
table (if the client type in the Client information table = "tax").
I have tried to use an update query that runs when the Client information form is closed but I think I might be doing it wrong, because I always get the message that 0 (ZERO) records will be updated.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have a logon form that always contains a value in the user name and password fields. How can I do it that these two fields are empty when the logon form is displayed? When I put this code in a program text12.value="" then it delete user name in database.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHey guys,
This is my problem!! I have created a Macro, using sendobject to send an email once the database has been opened. The email is to contain a copy of a report which i have specified in the macro.
On opening the database, a box appears with "Microsoft Office Outlook" on the top. The box says:
" A program is trying to automatically send email on your behalf.
Do you want to allow this?
If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose no."
Then there are three buttons with yes, no or cancel on the bottom.
First question is why is this appearing and is there a way around it, and secondly, when i click on yes, i dont recieve an email and no buttons appear on my switchboard!!!
Any ideas guys??
Hi there,
I am having huge performance issues with a FE/BE split. As a background, I have the following Table layout.
http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/7374/diagramjv9.th.gif (http://img357.imageshack.us/my.php?image=diagramjv9.gif)
In basic terms, the contract table has basic contract info, resources can be assigned to a contract (via the Assign table) and we feed in exchange rate info also from another table.
Everything is so slow as soon as I put the BE on a share drive. I have done everything I can think of, I have changed to tlookups, I have changed the Auto options as recommended, analyse shows no issues, compacted the DB. It is unusable!
I notice on one form that it takes 1 second to calculate a field. The field basically uses a tSum to find the total cost of a contract (looks up assign to sum up all the attached resources). This seems to slow it down, but it does not explain the huge time it takes to load up.
I am considering that the issue may be down to the share where it is being located has too high latency (it is in another country, and it feels slow browsing through it)
Any other general ideas, or do you need more info?
Thank you.
hi there,
I'd like to ask the solution for my problem.
I made a new project using ms access 2003,crystal report 9, and visual studio 2005.
I just made a simple access dbase with 1 table(Table 1) and protected with password, o I forgot this table has 2 field(id and desc).
After that I made simple report that using DAO connectivity(save data with report option is disabled).
At last I made simple program(windows app) using visual studio 2005.
I put the CrystalReportViewer component, and these is the code :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace prj
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void crystalReportViewer1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\Report1.rpt";
crystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo[0].ConnectionInfo.UserID = "Admin";
crystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo[0].ConnectionInfo.Password = "12";
crystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo[0].ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\db.mdb";
crystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo[0].ConnectionInfo.ServerName = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\db.mdb";
}
}
}
and the problem is when I move the access database file to other location, the viewer shows a box to be confirmed by my UserID and password,
my question is how must I write in the program so that the box doesnt come out.
thanks
Hello Forum,
I have a problem with duplicate records in my query. I know why the duplicate records are occuring and I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to fix the problem, but I'm really at a lost and am quite desperate for some help.
Here's some background info that shows the cause of the problem:
I have two tables. In the first table (tblMainData), there are three columns of interest (P1, P2, & P3). The second table (tblGroupList) has two columns (PN & GroupList). A relationship exists such that the data in "PN" is parital-text values of the data in columns "P1", "P2" and "P3".
For example, "P1" in tblMainData may contain "A1235XX". The "A1235" is what's important, so that's one of the values that I have in "PN".
Continuing, I have a user form that uses the "GroupList" field as the RowSource for one of my combo boxes (cboGroup), and this field contains an (ALL) option. So, when a value is selected from cboGroup, I use the following Criteria filter
Like [PN] & "*"
in my query (qryFilterGroup) to look for those partial text fields that match what's in fields P1, P2 and P3. The results are then shown in a subform.
Here-in, I believe, lies the source of the duplicate records. In my userform, if "(ALL)" is selected under the cboGroup combo box, a new record is created for each field P1, P2 and P3 in tblMainData that contains data and that is related to the partial text matching Criteria. A new field is created because each field corresponds to one of the values in the "GroupList" field.
This is really difficult to explain, and I don't really know if I should continue without writing a book. If someone or someone(s) could be so kind, please have a quick look at my attached database as it's obvious to see my problem. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
I recently found a need to pass a message on to everyone that opened a certain access database. So in I thought the easiest way of doing this would be to use the startup page & macro on the Northwinds Sample Database that comes with access.
However, I kept getting an error because the ok button was pointing the main switchboard which doesnt exist on my database, so I tried deleting the following to see if it would sort the problem: -
' Closes Startup form.
' Used in OnClick property of OK command button on Startup form.
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm ("Main Switchboard")
Now I think I've made things a whole lot worse. When I opne the database I get that first startup form and of course the button doesnt work and everything else is disabled.
I could really do with some help on this one.
Thanks,
Marc.
P.s. Cracking forum guys, if it weren't for places like this people like me would be in a whole world of ****!!
I am so interested to see a solution to this little problem…i think ithis is one of my more complicated questions!!!!
Problem:
Where I work we have a series of machines… named “ C1, H7, H8 etc”
Each line has 3 counters on it,
Impressions – records the number of cartons used on the line
Standard Pack – records the number of filled cartons with product
Output – records the number of cartons that complete the whole line process and are ready to be shipped to the customer.
Sounds straight forward enough….but the process gets a little more complicated.
Some lines are referred to as joint lines… this indicates that the product from each line the output figure is joined together and totalled. So it is not possible to calculate how many each line completed for the output figure. Note… it is only the Output figure that is joint, each line still has it’s own impressions and standard park counters
Grouped lines are given a group code – P8 in this case.
Example…
C1 not joined
H7 and H8 joined.
C1 –
Impressions –1000 Cartons
Standard Pack – 900 Cartons
Output – 800 Cartons
H7 - P8
Impressions –1600 Cartons
Standard Pack – 1500 Cartons
H8 – P8
Impressions –400 Cartons
Standard Pack – 300 Cartons
P8
Output – 1600 Cartons
The output counter is brought in to the database automatically via a linked spreadsheet and a macro, this data is then stored in a table called “DaycodeMachineShiftImpressions” you will see in this table that the grouping is referred to as Machine.
As previously stated we have no real way of working out the amount each line has output individually.. the way it is calculated at the moment, is to take the figure for P8 and split it into 2 equal figures and assign that to each line.
So in this case the figure assigned to each line would be 800, although you will see that this is not possible for H8 line as it only put 400 cartons on the line in the first place.
I now want to implement the following calculation to my DB,
(see Attached Spreadsheet)
the calculations a re stored in cells b12 & b13 in the spreadsheet.
so that the output figure is separated
in proportion to impressions made.
I then need the figure per line to be fed back to the “tblProduction” output field..
in the tblproduction the data for P8 is stored to line level so in this case as H7 and H8, hence why i want to use the calculation to work out the output figure per line...
Can this be done automatically, if so please help me…

Hi,
I am absolutely puzzeled with a problem we are having with an Ms Access 2000 application, which is the front end to a SQL Server database. We have a database which was working fine for over 6 months. And now all of sudden users are intermittently getting the error messages:
"Error Executing this command"
AND
"You cancelled the previous operation."
I removed the error handling code from the application to get more detailed error messages and we got the following error message:
The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: .
The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.
This is only intermittent and when they close the database and open it again it works fine for a little while and then the error occurs again. As you can imagine this is a major inconvenience for users.
I have searched the web and forums and there just seems to be 101 reasons why this could happen. Nothing has changed on our system which might cause this occur so I don't know why this is happening.
Could anybody provide any ideas on how I might go about trouble shooting it. We are thinking of opening a support call with Microsoft but the error messages are so generic that I'm not sure what help they could be.
Any help / ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Good Morning
Looking for the user to select a product name from a drop down box (not type in) when running query / report which will return details on only that product rather than all others in the query.
I have got major problems with the custom dialog boxes -- have got a table of product names, a query called current stock ( active products) . I can easily get a standard dialog box by putting [product code] in brackets in the query and this is not a problem. However in getting a custom dialog box I have had lots of problems.
Created a form called form999 which has product name field as a combo box and this has been named master1 . Clicking the form on it's own brings up the dialog box correctly and the drop down box selects the current products which is should do.
However linking it to the query I have put [Forms]![form999]![master1] in the query and it will not link unfortunately and is driving me mad.
Upon running the query it simply brings up the standard dialog box with [Forms]![form999]![master1] as the "enter parameter value. Understand code is required to get the OK and cancel macros working etc but when I click the query it should bring up the custom box which is the first stage and it is not ?? Any assistance would be greatly received.
Are there any sample DBs which have a field or related parameter as a customer dialog box -- have looked for examples without success.
many thanks and regards
