Microsoft Access Record-Locking Information
Feb 8, 2006
Hello Everyone,
I have an access file (a Form) that I put in the network and it's accessable thru a web site inside our company(intranet). I setup the database to be on shared mode so everyone can access it at the same time. The problem I'm having is that when someone open the file, access creates another file called "Microsoft Access Record-Locking Information" which still active even after users close the form and their web browser and this doesn't allow me to edit the file if I need to make changes. Is there a way to deactivate this record-locking file? The only way I found out to be able to access the file after someone used it, is having the user go into their Task Manager and delete MSACCESS.EXE from the Processes tab. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a question.
Does anybody know about "MS Access Record-Locking Information"?
And, the file extension is .xxx
Only one person can open the file.
Does anybody explain to me and teach me how to make/solve it?
Or, offer the link about it to me?
I want to know that.
Thanks a lot.

In OPTIONS -> Advanced I have the option Open Database using Record-Level locking ticked.
What is strange is record level locking works on Form1 (Form1.recordlocks= Edited) as long as Form2 has Form2.recordlocks = No Locks. If I change the Form2.recordlocks = Edited, Form1's locking becomes page level locking.
This is even true if Form2 is not open...
Additionally, Form2's locking is always page level locking if Form2.recordlock = edited.
I would like all my forms to perform RECORD level locking not page Level locking. How do I accomplish this.
I've been trying to resolve this issue for about 2 months now but no answers from the community.
Thanks for any comments.

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,
Joseph Russell

It just read in Access Help that if you have open db using record locking checked that you must open the database using the File=> Open command from the MenuBar. Does anyone know anything about this or can anyone comfirm this a s true?

I have designed a database which I intend to split for multi-users to access from one front end icon on a shared folder at work. I have designed a form bound to cmr record table and on it a subform to another table where cmrs activities will be saved. The form has buttons to and blank controls.
User can create a new activity entry by typing into the blank controls and pressing the save button which saves to the activity table. the edit button extracts a selected records details (selected on the subform) from the activity table and populates the blank field for a user to edit and then hit save to save changes. The delete button deletes a selected record from the activity table. I intend to have multi-users either accessing, viewing and a possibly editing the same customer at the same time. The simultaneous viewing is essential but the simultaneous editing, though not desired is inevitably going to occur.
What I would like to know is:
1. Can you lock an individual record in a table or does the whole table have to be locked. E.g If Colleague 1 is editing Cmr A's record in Table1 can he lock it so Colleague 2 can view and edit Cmr B's record in Table1
2.Can Colleague 1 access/read Cmr A's record in Table1 to retrieve details toe the form controls if Colleague 2 is viewing or editing Cmr A's record in Table1
3. If record lock is possible, how can I initiate it in my example code below.Edit activity record Code
Code:
Private Sub Edit_A_Click()
'Get Data to text box control
With Me.R_P_Data_P_Subfrm.Form
Me.txtrID = !rID
Me.txtrID.Tag = !rID
Me.txtrefNo = !refNo
Me.cmbrpc = !rPC
[code]....

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.

is it possible once a record has been entered, to lock it so that it can not be changed by just anyone but that the administrator could change it using a password?

Had a good look at previous posts but couldn't find exactly what I am after.
Having entered a record I don't want users to go back and edit/amend the input. I can see how to lock and unlock records but controlling this wilt say a checkbox also means any user can 'uncheck' and edit. Is there a method to restrict who can unlock ('uncheck') and edit a record, other than using Access Security permissions.
Thanks

I can't do nothing in my database because it keeps saying users have it open. There is nobody in the database though. I open up the file and saw two admins names and I deleted them both because we out of the database. The database is on a network drive and when I try to do any updates I get the message "Can't save changes or make changes because the database is open"
I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE, Help me Jesus, Help Me Oprah, Help Me Tom Cruise!

Hi everyone.
This is my first post and I am really hoping someone will be able to help me.
I have created a database for a friend and multiple users will be using it. I would like to know if anyone is able to assist me in being able to lock a specific record when a particula option on a combo box is selected.
For example:
I have a combo box with several status'. Open, Pending and Closed.
Once the status is changed to closed, can that record be locked to unable ant further editing?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Hi all,
I have created a form using Access 2003 which users have to enter data into.
What I want is a button on the form which will display "lock record". When the user clicks this it will lock the record so that another user can’t accidentally change the field values. If they do want to change the field values the will have to press another button displaying “unlock form”
Is this possible and how?
Cheers

Hi all,
I have a split database, with identical front end databases that have tables linked to the back end database. All forms are all located in the client databases.
Both databases are set to "no locks" (I believe this is referred to as "optimistic" record locking?) and are set to "shared" open mode.
However 2 seperate users cannot open the main form, even when opening different records - it comes up with the record locking error message.
Question - The form they open is filtered to show only one record (as selected on opening the form) - will this lock the whole table or just the one record it is looking at?
I'm not sure I've explained myself brilliantly here - I'm not up on all the lingo! If you don't understand please say & I'll try to explain better.

:confused: I created a data base in which 4 users enter information using a form. I have no record locking applied. When 2 or more of the users enter the form at the same time but have not entered any information they get a record lock error when one of them tries to enter data. The company wants to open this up to more people so I need to stop this from happening. Any ideas? I'm using access 2003 and windows xp.
Is there a way to assign a new record upon opening the form rather than waiting for data to be entered? I think this would be my last resort because it could create alot of blank records. All help is appreciated.
Thanks

I've created a database and split it so that the data tables are held separately. Everything works fine apart from when 2 users simultaneosly try to create a new record on the same table. I'm guessing this is a record locking issue but can't work out what I should be amending.

Hi All:
I have a form that at certain times, requeries tables to update pricing. My problem, I have now found, is if users access this form at the same time (even if they are accessing different records) the second user will get error message 3009: "You tried to lock table while opening it, but the table cannot be locked because it is currently in use. Wait a moment..." when requery code runs.
Does anyone have any recommendation on how to handle this? Anyway around this? I am at the end of a very long creation process and hope I don't have to reinvent the wheel. I'll hold my breath! Thanks!
ps I have record-level locking set as well as edited-record record locking

Ok, here's the deal. I'm tired of fixing our gigantic table because of corrupt records in my firm's database. I find that the problem ordinarily comes up when someone opens the same record in two different forms (whether on the same computer or on a different machine) and both attempt to make changes. Is there a way (preferably simple) to just LOCK a record in a particular table to keep this from happening? I assume there has to be, but I've just never taken the time to find out. I'm not sure if this locking is done on the form level or somewhere in a table option or something.

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've got a database that is split -front/back on a server. It is used by roughly 5 people. Usually one or two people use it at one time, with one of the users who leaves the application open at all times. Sometimes when the users are working in the screen, which would be in the subform, an error like "record is locked" pops up and they cannot enter any data. This happens on a date field where I have put some code to auto fill the date if the previous record has today's date in it. It doesn't seem like it should be locking on that. Should it? This is what I have in the code:
Code:Option Compare DatabasePublic DateValue As DatePublic DatePresent As BooleanPrivate Sub DateLog_AfterUpdate() 'fill the date with previous entry - if it has been entered in same session DateValue = Me.DateLog.Value DatePresent = True End SubPrivate Sub DateLog_GotFocus() If (DatePresent) Then Me.DateLog.Value = DateValue End IfEnd SubPrivate Sub Form_Load()Me.RequeryDatePresent = FalseEnd Sub

I would like to clarify the concept of record-level locking Say I have a TBLA which consists of two fields TBLA_FLD1 & TBLA_FLD2...TBLB which consists of three fields TBLB_FLD1 & TBLB_FLD2 & TBLB_FLD3
Now two users have declared the usage of the database as shared and pessimistic...I have generated a query in addition to TBLA & TBLB which is QryCombined which basically just a join of the two and consists of all five fields...If user1 has brought in a record query from QryCombined and edits on TBLA_FLD1 & TBLB_FLD3...At the same time user2 is trying to bring in as well QryCombined but with TBLA_FLD2 & TBLB_FLD1 and trying to edit both, will user2 be blocked by user1 who's editing the other fields
For all I know, the locking is based on record-level locking so I would suppose one record of QryCombined will comprise of all five fields so editing in any of them should actually block another user from editing. However I am not sure whether it is just a subset of the record that is the contesting area because user1 recordset has only two fields out of five, which do not happen to intercept the other fields that user2 is working on.

How can i apply the following code to the immediate record in my subform. I would like when the assigned check box value = true, then the fields for that record become locked.
Ive written the following code to an onclick event for a check box labeled "assigned" on my form, the problem is it executes on all the records in my form.
Q. How do i apply the code to only the immediate record?
Private Sub Assigned_Click()
If Me.Assigned.Value = True Then
Me.Serial_Number.Enabled = False
Me.Component_Group_ID.Enabled = False
Me.TypeID.Enabled = False
Me.Description.Enabled = False
Me.Status.Enabled = False
Else
Me.Serial_Number.Enabled = True
Me.Component_Group_ID.Enabled = True
Me.TypeID.Enabled = True
Me.Description.Enabled = True
Me.Status.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub
