Microsoft Access Authentication
Oct 4, 2005
For a databse which I am going to create, I would like to have an authentication system which utilises the database users which I specify, however instaed of using a password the idea would be to use a fingerprint scanner to logon. T^his would be for an A - Level IT project and I would seriously like to know how to integrate biometric security into a database. If anyone knows how to do this please post CLEAR instruction possibly with some SCREENSHOTS if possible.
Thanks

Hi.
I recently created SQL SERVER backend for my MS ACCESS app. (I upsized ONLY the tables, so the ACCESS app contains linked tables).
The SQL SERVER resides on a different machine than the MS ACCESS app.
Every time that I run the ACCESS app, it fails to connect to the SQL SERVER ("Login failed for user 'xxx'") and it prompts me for user name and password.
After I give it the right user name and password, no probs.
The problem is that ACCESS doens't save the new user name and password.
So every time that I run the app, again, it uses the wrong default user name and password (I don't know where it gets it from), and I need to re-enter the correct one.
HOw can I solve it?
Thank you very much
Roy

Alrighty -
After learning that 2007 has no User Security roles, and not having Sharepoint or a SQL server, I decided to work starting with Bob's Simple Login script located here (http://www.btabdevelopment.com/main/AccessSamples/tabid/54/Default.aspx).
I've got it functioning fine and incorporated some of the options also made available here (http://www.databasedev.co.uk/login.html).
You'll see the code below used to store info in a hidden form that is holding the username and permissions level. I'm looking to try and store this information into a global variable instead of a hidden table.
I know that I could define it as a variable right here in the code, but how do I define it as a Global variable so I can use it later in the application in the VBA?
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()
Dim strUser As String
Dim strPWD As String
Dim intUSL As Integer
strUser = Me.txtUser
If DCount("[UserPWD]", "tblUsers", "[UserName]='" & Me.txtUser & "'") > 0 Then
strPWD = DLookup("[UserPWD]", "tblUsers", "[UserName]='" & Me.txtUser & "'")
If strPWD = Me.txtPwd Then
intUSL = DLookup("[SecurityGroup]", "tblUsers", "[UserName]='" & Me.txtUser & "'")
Forms!frmUSL.txtUN = strUser
Forms!frmUSL.txtUSL = intUSL
Select Case intUSL
Case 1
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmHome", acNormal
Case 2
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmHome", acNormal, , , acFormReadOnly
Case 3
MsgBox "Not configured yet", vbExclamation, "Not configured"
Case 4
MsgBox "Not configured yet", vbExclamation, "Not configured"
End Select
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLogin", acSaveNo
Else
If MsgBox("You entered an incorrect password" & vbCrLf & _
"Would you like to re-end your password?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Restricted Access") = vbYes Then
Me.txtPwd.Value = ""
Counter = Counter + 1
If Counter = DLookup("[OptionValueNum]", "tblOptions", "[OptionsID]=1") Then
MsgBox "You have entered an incorrect password too many times. This database will now close!", vbCritical, "Wrong password!"
DoCmd.Quit
End If
Else
DoCmd.Quit
End If
End If
End If
End Sub

My main experience is with MySQL and PHP so I'm kindof stumbling around in the dark here. Heres my story:
We recieved a new server and migrating from (Windows Server 2000, IIS 5.0, Access 2000) to (Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, Access 2003) has been nothing but problems.
I have setup IIS to work with ASP, I've also setup a system DSN. The access file was copied over from the previous server. We're running Access 2003 and now I can't seem to get this ASP script to work.
When I try to upload a file to the script I get this error:
Line: 42
Char: 7
Error: HELP!!! Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid SQL statement expected 'DELETE','INSERT','PROCEDURE','SELECT', OR 'UPDATE'.
Code: 0
Url: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)
Here is the part of Connect.asp that errors:
Code:<script LANGUAGE="javascript"><!--var DSNString, TheDF, TheRS;//DSNString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C: hedata estdisbo.mdb;User Id=admin;Password=;";//DSNString = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C: hedata estdisbo.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pw d=;"DSNString = "DSN=testweb; UID=; PWD=";function public_ConToDB(){ TheDF = DP.CreateObject("RDSServer.DataFactory",this.text1.value);DC.DataSpace=DP;DC.Server = this.text1.value;DC.Connect = DSNString;//DC.Connect="d: hedatadisboweb.udl";}function public_GetRS(SQLCommand){ TheRS = TheDF.Query(DSNString,SQLCommand);DC.SourceRecordset=TheRS;return (TheRS);}function public_GetDC(){ return (DC);}//--></script>
Its included in a file called FileRead.htm here is the part that refers to the error lines:
Code: var TheFile, FileStrm;// Retrieved field namesvar M_ssn, M_inits, M_Lname, M_Fname, M_DSSN, M_ruc, M_paycode;var M_normamt, M_payamt, M_pgrp, M_poe, M_pltcd, Payrollnum, Payrolldate;// var Trash, FieldData, FieldNames;var TrashLineNum = 1;// Create the file Stream Object (ReadOnly)TheFile = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");FileStrm = TheFile.OpenTextFile(FName,1,false);// Setup the Database Connectionvar SQLCommand, TheRS, TheConnection, DSNString, Commands, MyDC;FieldNames = new Array("ssn","inits","lname","fname","dssn","ruc","cco", "payamt","normamt","notsureone","pgrp","poe", "pltcode","recstatus","paychgflg","paystatuscode", "payrollnum","payrolldate");// Connect the the DatabaseDataLib.ConToDB();MyDC = DataLib.GetDC();// Get Payroll NumberPString = prompt("Enter Payroll Number","025");Payrollnum = parseInt(PString,10);// Get Payroll DateDString = prompt("Enter Payroll Date","20000101");Payrolldate = DateLib.FromMil(DString);// Setup the Database Connectionvar NumRecs = 0;//MyTest = DataLib.GetRS("PaydayUpdate1");alert("About to cross into the CurExtract!!!");MyRS = DataLib.GetRS("SELECT * FROM CurExtract");
I set an alert after this line but it doesn't pop up.
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'll be checking this very frequently.
Sincerly,

Hello everyone,
I would like to convert a database, which was made for me, in order to enable it to be used on my current system.
I get the error message below when trying to open the database in Microsoft Access 2003.
The database was made using Microsoft Access 2.0.
Will I need Microsoft Access 2.0 to update/delete the database all the time?
Or can I convert this to be used with Microsoft Access 2003?
I have tried opening the file exclusively and I get the same error.
I have selected Show Help and it advises me to import all the objects from the database into a new database. This can`t be achieved as I can`t open the file to retrieve the contents.

Thank you very much for your help and all responses are appreciated,

This query is in relation to an Access 97 database.
A problem that we are consistently having is that whenever people are using the database under different user names, it only allows one user at a time to use it. So basically if three of us are on it updating files or enquiring on client details, two of us are locked out leaving only one in. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Please consider the situation below:
There is a central server and there are many client PCs connected to the server. On each client PC, there is an access database file that will be frequently updated by the user of the PC.
What I want to do is to allow the user on each of the client PC to backup their database file to the central server;
At the server side, it is free to use any architecture(eg using file system or another database to store the file) to facilitate the backup purposes. One of simplest solution is to upload the entire database file to the central server everytime. However, the problem is the access database file on each client PC is quite big, hence it is better not to upload the entire file but only to upload the updated data to the central server.
Is there a way to synchronise the data with central server without upload the entire database file? What kind of architecture should built up in the central server if there is a way?
Any input is welcome:)

Hi there Access forum,
First up, a pre-emptive request to excuse me if I show my ignorance - I'm not really an Access user/developer, I'm a SCM person.
We have a team that develops Access dbs and they are looking to integrate better with ClearCase. At present, they use the UNIX client and transfer whole, binary Access dbs, then source-control the binary file. They would like to be able to integrate better - my understanding, from them, is that VSS will control individual tables/forms, etc. I assume this is because it integrates via the SCC interface.
I cannot find anything about the SCC interface in my Access tool (just part of the Office distribution handed out to all desktops here) apart from a reference to Office XP Developer.
Can anyone provide me with any more information (even if that is just to point me elsewhere)?
Using VSS is not an option, by the way - the SCM standards specify ClearCase or Subversion (which would access the SCC interface via the PushOK proxy).
Thanks in advance - Adam Cheney

Hi there, I am doing a project for my A level computing, and for my mum's financial advising.
I am to assume no knowledge of computing on her part, and so i cannot make it up to the end user to know how to mailmerge.
I was wondering if you could help.
I can have it in a query, form or table form, whichever is best for this, but i need to be able to make a button which exports a record into a MS word mailmerge. This is just to make a simple letterhead. I need a button that says " Write to client ", and once it is clicked it needs to open a letter addressed to them. This is my problem. I have noticed when the data is in a report, there is an export to MS Word button, which is very close to what i want as i could use that and get a good enough mailmerge, but is there a way to run this from a macro or using VB? I did VB last year for my computing project and so i understand a fair amount of it. I want to just make one word document, which will open as mailmerged with the clients data.
Please help if you can, I am sure it is possible as i can see you can mailmerge from access, and there is even a button to do it.... kind of, i just need to be able to make my own.
Thankyou so much for your help.

Greetings All,
I work for a College within my area and have recently been asked to create a database for storing and testing data. With mild experience, I believe I have done well so far but a co-worker asked me the other day if there was a way to create or modify the hotkeys in Access. I've tried researching this on the Net and only found lists of which hotkeys do what. If anyone knows whether or not adjusting hotkeys is doable, please let me know.
Thanks for your time and have a great day...

Hi everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I will firstly give you the low down on the business that I am doing the database for. It is a Car Restoration Business, where we deal with vintage/classic/muscle cars and restore them to the former glory.
I do not know Microsoft Access very well, I have attached a file with what I think is a databae I could be wrong. The main function of this database is to search for suppliers for a specific car part for a specific car.
So if I want to find a doorhandle for a 1970 Ford Mustang, I need the suppliers pertaining to those criterias to come up.
How do I get this to happen?
Thankyou for your help
Jess

Hi,
I am having trouble with the format of dates comming from access, if I view a table in access with a field of Date/Time the date is formatted correctly as dd/mm/yyyy, but when I retreve the date from my ASP page the format changed to mm/dd/yyyy. I can successfully change the format using a date format function but is there a way of getting access to send the date in the correct format in the first place or know why it's doing this. I am using access 2003 and the following connection string
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=d:webSites estWebdataBasefcd_db_080306. mdb"
Thanks for any help and guidance you can give

I have a database that will be used by a few users who are not very comfortable with Microsoft Access. I have a login screen and a introduction/splash popup. I was wondering if it is possible to bypass the Microsoft Access pop-ups that ask the user if they want to "block unsafe code.." or The security popup that says "This file may not be safe" so that the users go right to the login screen I created within the database. I am worried that there will be variations in answering/clicking these Microsoft Access questions thus causing a variety of complaints when trying to access the database. Thank you

We have a database on our network server which I cannot open. I get the following error everytime I try to access it.
This file is located outside your or on an untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open the file due to potential security problems. To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible network location.
I think it has to do with a Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 security update. However, I cannot find the update to uninstall. Others can access the database located on the network, but some get a pop-up that allows them to say "no" and access the file. The pop-up has the following message:
Security Warning: Unsafe expressions are not blocked. Do you want to block unsafe expressions?
Can anyone help with this?

I'm not too hot at creating a database in Access, so I was wondering if there was anyone out their prepared to help me construct one.
This database is designed to search for property from various locations and from various price ranges, you can also pick the type of property, the amount of bedrooms and have the result in descending or ascending order.
For location just use: Location 1, Location 2, Location 3, and Any
Price Ranges use: 30,000, 50,000, 70,000, 90,000, and 110,000
Type of property please use: houses, flats, and bungalows
Bedrooms use: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5+
Fill in any data you wish, I think this needs to have a query setup?
Thanks for your help
