Modules & VBA :: Check If Database Is Open (Read Only Mode)

Jul 16, 2015

I would like to be able to check if a db is open and if it is to prevent the user from proceeding.

I use the Access 2013 Runtime. I can check if a db is open by trying to open Exclusively, using something like

Code: [URL] ....

But if the db is already open Not exclusively and I try to open it exclusively it does not raise an error and it allows the user to open the db in Read Only mode.

I would like to be able to prevent this, because careless and/or inexperienced users may open several instances of the db.

Of course, if the db is already open exclusively it does not allow you to open it exclusively another time.

General :: Split Database With Multiple Users - Read Only Kiosk Mode

Dec 17, 2012

I have two separate database files, a front end with all my forms and a back end with all my tables. The backend is stored on a network drive, is there any way of being able to store the frontend on the drive with the backend? Users do not use the actual computer to store information or access files, everything is usually saved on the network drive. I have created a shortcut that launches the front end database in the read only kiosk mode.

How To: Access 'Query' Screen In Read-only Mode

Oct 25, 2007

Hi to all,

I would like to ask here for advice on MS Access 2000 application.
When a user logs in, he should be able to use the Access 'Query' screen in read-only mode. In other words, he should be able to generate queries by selecting tables and columns, or using the wizard, but the results of those queries may never have any influence on the data in the database. So: SELECT queries only.
Users should be allowed to execute those queries, but are not allowed to access the tables, forms, or any other items directly.
Is there a way to achieve this?

Thank you


Ori

Forms :: Listbox To Select Record In Read Only Mode?

May 7, 2014

I have a form which uses a listbox to display a given record but when a user without edit rights opens the form in read only mode

Code:

DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria, acFormreadOnly

The user is unable to use the listbox to select a record to view.

I have also tried opening the form in edit mode (acFormedit) and then setting the allowedits etc. to False

Code:
Me.Form.AllowAdditions = False
Me.Form.AllowDeletions = False
Me.Form.AllowEdits = False

But this didn't work either.

Modules & VBA :: Read XML File Which Needs To Be Processed In Access Database

Oct 8, 2013

For weeks I am trying to read an XML file which needs to be processed in an Access database. I can not find the proper way to:

- find a specific node
- iterate from there

The XML file is an international bank file:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.008.001.02" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<GrpHdr>
<MsgId>001-2013-09-19-18:12:17</MsgId>

[Code] ....

I started quite simple, just wanted to read to node MsgId. This is the code I use:

Private Sub ReadXML_Click()
Dim aDoc As DOMDocument60
Dim aNode As IXMLDOMNode
Set aDoc = New MSXML2.DOMDocument60
aDoc.async = False
aDoc.Load DLookup("C:Sample.XML")

[Code] ....

Whatever I try: //MsgId or MsgId the results is "No nodes". How to read to XML.

Besides reading one node, the next challenge will be iterating the PmtInf node. There can be 1 in the XML file but also 50.

Modules & VBA :: Check Outlook Is Open Not Working?

May 21, 2014

My application relies on whether Outlook is open and more importantly, with the correct Exchange profile selected. To ensure this I have the following code which, on the work PCs (Windows XP and Office 2003) works correctly.

Code:

If Outlook_is_Running = True Then
Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application", "localhost")
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set colFolders = myNameSpace.Folders
On Error Resume Next

[code]....

The work PCs are being upgraded soon to Windows 7 and Office 2007 so I have taken the application home and started to develop it on my home PC (Windows 8.1 64 and Office 2013 64). I have used PtrSafe where necessary and have compiled with no errors, but this code always returns false even though Outlook 2013 is open.

On further investigation, if I comment out the 'On Error Resume Next line I get the error Active X component cannot create the object (or similar) Error 429. This is the same regardless of whether Outlook is open or not

Modules & VBA :: Lock Check Box On Open Form

Jun 29, 2015

I'm trying to lock a checkbox when the forms open and depending if one has role as admin, it should unlock it.When I add the below code in the on open form I get error:

Code:
Me.lock_case_admin.Locked = True
Me.lock_case_admin.BackColor = 12632256

This is the part that should onlock if it is admin:

Code:
Me.lock_case_admin.Locked = False
Me.lock_case_admin.BackColor = 16777215

Maybe it is me, or the checkbox is giving the error that causes the dialogbox to open to to choose the ID nr.

Modules & VBA :: How To Check If Field Value Exists Using Open Recordset

Nov 25, 2014

I am storing values of pictures and the location of them in a table, this works fine!... using OpenRecordset. The problem is that when the function is called to store the information, it just keeps adding the same values of each file in the folder over and over again in a word "Duplicating" the information.

I have tried various methods using the OpenRecordset, but cannot seem to find the correct manor of applying the code.

Below is the function I have for storing the data...

Code:
Public Sub GetFilesNamesFromFolder(strFolderPath As String)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim objFSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim objFolder As Scripting.folder
Dim objFile As Scripting.File

How To Open A Website URL In Pop Up Mode From A Form In Access

I am writing a program that allows users to enter customer info and I want to be able to pop up a window that will search for Postal (Zip) codes using the Postal Service URL.

Forms :: Macro To Open A Form In Hidden Mode

Mar 7, 2013

I have a button using a macro to open a form in Hidden mode. Then I have another button on another form to open this form that was hidden.

When I open the form, the form is virtually blank apart from the form caption name. But when I close this and press the button again the form opens as normal.

I do not understand why?

I was told that once you hide the form and when you open the form again, it should appear normal. Why do I get this blank form??? Only by hitting the button again then the form is normal....

General :: Report Does Not Open In Preview Mode On Some Machines

May 21, 2014

I have a button on my form that should open a report in Preview node.

On SOME users machines, it appears that absolutely NOTHING happens when the user clicks the button. (preview mode)

Report parameters that may have some bearing are as follows. (Default settings in most cases)
Default View : Report View
Allow Report View: Yes
Allow Layout View: Yes
Auto Center : Yes
Auto Resize: Yes
Fit to page: Yes

Pop_up: Yes (This is NOT the default setting, as I would prefer the report to pop-up. If the report does not open in pop up mode, the users tend to close the DB instead of just the report.)

On the user machines where the problem exists, I have turned off the pop-up blocker in their web browser. It seems to work when opening in Report View.

Button Macro parameters are:
Report Name: My_Rpt_Name
View : Print Preview
Filter Name :
Where Condition :
Window Mode : Normal

Environment
SQL back end (ODBC Connection to server)
Access 2010 Front end

I am developing the DB in the bog standard install with no special permissions / add-ons. Also, my developer (log on) account is as a standard user, so there should be no (network) permission issues.

When troubleshooting on the user machines, If I open the report in design view and then open in Preview mode, it works.

Is the problem with the Form or the Macro or the Preview mode or maybe some Reg key that must be changed to allow reports as pop-ups?

Modules & VBA :: Check For Specific Version Of A Ribbon To Connect To Database?

Sep 2, 2014

I have been trying to come up with a solution for a problem I am having for a while to no avail. We have a backend database that stores various tables full of data. We then have a custom Excel Ribbon that connects to the database and pulls in the different tables depending on the user selection form the ribbon. Everything is working well on that end. The problem I am running into though is that in the development phase of the ribbon and database we had multiple versions and so there are still some people who are using old versions of the ribbon and therefore not connecting properly to the database. Is there some type of code I can add into the database and ribbon where it checks for a specific version to ensure the user is using the most recent version?

Basically, before any type of query is run to connect to the database the ribbon would have some sort of label on it somewhere and the database would check for that label and if it is correct, the code proceeds and if not a message box appears that tells the user they are not using the most current version of the ribbon and exits the sub?

Forms :: Open Form From (Edit List Items) Option In Data Entry Mode

Feb 4, 2014

I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?
