Multi-user Form

Jan 13, 2005

I have a form "log_file" that I am going to be placing a nework. All I have done is create a new DB, create a table, and create a form. Now I want to make it so users open up the DB file and only see the form and cannot access/edit the table. Basically, It is okay if they go back and forth through the records and change those, but I don't want them to be able to edit the form either.

I'm just not sure where to go from here. If there is more info I should provide please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Multi User Login Form

Aug 3, 2015

I am trying to create a multi user login form for my Access 2010 database. I will have 2 different types of users (administrator and staff). The administrator will be able to see all tables and forms and edit/ add to them. The staff will only be able to view a switchboard form and 2 forms (as well as using combo boxes to look up specific records). However, I don't want the staff to be able to view the tables or edit anything.

Tables :: Auto Number For Multi User Form

Apr 12, 2013

Started a new thread: Rebuilt database and still working with auto number for multi user form. The code I have works for single user but not multi user. Also if someone opens the form and closes without adding anything to the form the number is used with blank record.

This is what I have thus far:

Private Sub Form_Current() Me.[PO] = Nz(DMax("[PO]", "tblPurchaseOrder"), 0) + 1
End Sub

Hi guys,

I've seen different log in forms and tips on multi-user use but can't seem to find info on the following...

We have 6 people at work and I'd like to assign which user updated a form or created a new record...this would be particularly useful on the sales part of the database to track who made a call to a particular customer...

Best ideas anyone?

General :: Access Multi User Database - Error On Only One User

Apr 24, 2013

I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .

All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.

Multi User (1 X Rwx, 2 X R--)

Mar 2, 2007

I have read a lot about if multiple users want to share an MDB, they have to create BE and FE and split the database.

I understand having to do that if all those users want to write to the MDB simultaneously.

I have a situation where one person will do data entry (write access), and two other users will just want to view and perhaps just search the database (read).

If only one person is writing at any time, do I have to do all that splitting and FE/BE configuration?

Multi User Capacity

Sep 1, 2005

I plan to create a multi-user application on access 2000. There would be more than 20 users simultaneously logging in the database. The database would be kept in Server with high config. The users would work on the database (server) from their workstations. Forms/Queries/Reports ... are in the workstation (client). The database may growup to 70 MB every 3 months. The application will run on the database for 3 months which will be replaced with a new one after that period. Is it a good plan to do so on Access 2000. Am worried about the network traffic. Will the users face it as a very slow application ???

(SysConfig workstation: Win2K Pro/ 128 MB RAM/ 40GB HDD/Pentium-4)

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Multi User Access

Sep 5, 2005

Hi
If I want several users to access a database from their network pc's, should I place the access database .mdb file on the server and set the Sharing properties, then install the access application on each of their stations.

They need to each be able to use the database when they need to and read or add data, reports etc.

I am using access 2003.

Thanks

Multi-User Recommendation

Mar 10, 2006

I maintain a database that is used by several people in my office. Only about 4 different people actually use the database but I would like the database to have multi-user support. As of right now the tables, forms, modules, etc. are all in a single mdb file. Can someone recommend a method for making this database accessible to several users at once? My main concerns are accuracy (changes commiting in the proper order) and low chance of corruption.

Multi User Problem

Feb 7, 2007

Hey everyone,
I am in desperate need of your help. I have a split database that I am trying to enable multi users access to the database. I created a folder on the share drive with the front end and a folder on share (BEN) with the backend. I have changed the settings via options, advanced options, and checked that shared box however it will still not allow everyone into the database at the same time. Is there something that I am missing? Should I then right click and copy and paste the front end to local PC since the tables are split and still on the share drive???? I plan on using security in the future will this cause a problem???Thanks

Is it possible? If so, how do I configure my access database?

Please help.

Multi-User Database

Jan 29, 2008

I would like your opinion on this; I have a ms access database that will be used in a multi-user environment, across different Teams. Data will be loaded from text files several times a day in a MS Access table, users will retrieve the data from the tables and displayed in a form. Their job will be to add comments and select drop down boxes for actions they have taken. Since the data is downloaded in the tables and retrieved from the user instead of the user keying in the data from scratch I would like to know how to best design this. I’m thinking of having a query run to display the data in the user form but is there a way that I can have the data refreshed every so often so that users can be presented with the new records that are being downloaded. What best practice should I use to avoid conflicts like example splitting the database or using record locking options

Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Multi-user Password

Mar 11, 2008

:Hi,
At the moment I'm writing a production database for work, which include parts in/out, production planning, kitting lists and other forms. What I'm after is a way that when the database opens it asks for a password and depending what it is, is what you can do. Administrator can do all, Stores can only enter parts and scheduler can only enter planning and so on.

How easy is this? :o

Need Help On A Multi-user Database

Mar 17, 2008

Hello Everyone! I have a project that is driving me crazy!! :mad:
I have a form on a database that retrieves data from a query; this database is in a multi-user environment. What I am trying to accomplish is to allow the form to bring up the next available record that has not/or is NOT being worked on yet. The form I built does a re-query every time the user goes to the next record and looks for anything that has not been worked on yet. It does this by looking at the timestamp the user has placed once completed the record on the form. I also placed my record locking option to Edited Record. However when the users sign on simultaneously they still get the same item on their screen. Is there a way to create some sort of locking mechanism that would allow the form to display to the user the next available record that has not been or is not being worked on by a user at this time? Theoretically I am looking at something like this: Once a user opens the form and the record is displayed on the screen, lock the record and avoid any user from viewing or editing this record. All other users should be directed to the next available record, every time the user hits the next button move to the next available unlocked record and immediately lock it from viewing or editing from everyone else.

I appreciate any help you can provide me on this!!

Multi User Enviroment

Nov 1, 2004

Hi everyone,
can anybody help me on this. I have two PCs connected and i am trying to execute an Access file from the client PC. This appears to be possible but the problem is that i cant save any new record and Active X or OLE seems to be the problem according to the message box appeared when i execute a form. The file works normally when executed from the server.
Any ideas?
It appears that the problem comes when Vba Code is executed for example i can save records from the tables but not from the forms where VBA code is attached

Multi User Problem :(

Dec 9, 2004

Hi all, question about using a table for temporary storage. When a user clicks a button after selecting critiera, a form is displayed with fields bound to a TempTable. On this form is a subform which pulls 3 peices of data from a table called QuestionsTable. As a user clicks through the subform, two fields are populated by the user and get stored in the QuestionsTable.

Once done, the user clicks a button and a SQL statement grabs the data from the main form (TempTable) and subform (QuestionsTable) and shoves it into the Archive table. A SQL statement then runs to delete the contents of the TempTable, and Delete the *modified* data in the QuestionsTable (by simply setting the 3 fields which will change to " " or Null).

Now my problem. If two users are in the same form and one clicks save, the SQL statements eraase everything... so the 2nd user will be mid process and their data will poof.

I want to assign a Session ID each time the main form is loaded. This is set via AutoNum in the TempTable. My question is, how can I copy 3 fields (Question, Comment, Result) from the QuestionsTable and insert them into the TempTable, then have the subform load the 3 fields from the temptable (so in essence, everything is loaded from TempTable).

Did that make sense? Sorry if it didn't, I'm reaching my deadline on this and have a bad cold

How Do I Log Out On Users On A Multi-user System?

May 27, 2005

I run a multi-user system of over 200 users. The only facility I have for advising an office-wide logout is required is the email system. However, staff either don't read their email or forget so I have to run around like a headless chicken trying to get everyone to get out/stay out of the system while I perform maintenance etc. Is there a way to enforce a logout and keep users logged out until a requested time without spending a fortune on new software?
Any advice would save me a lot of hair pulling (not mine :)).

Multi-user Remote Database

Jun 22, 2005

I am currently attempting to setup a database that will be used by many people. I have the database setup and it is split into a backend (tables and data) and a front end ( forms, queries, etc) which the users will download and use off their own machines. I'm attempting to house the backend on our webserver.

The backend is on our webserver and I'm attempting to link the tables from the front end to this location. I typed in the webaddress into the open menu after selecting the Get External Data --> Link Tables menu item. I am sure that this web address is correct because I copied from my browser (from which I was able to download the database from). After I put in the web address into the open box, I get an error about not a valid file name. Is there something I'm not thinking about? What could be my problem? Is it permissions maybe? Does there need to be something special setup with the backend or my webserver? Any ideas as to do with the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Accessability/Security In A Multi-user Env.

Aug 20, 2005

I need to implement some type of security on my database to limit the forms/reports users can access. When implemented it will be a split database on a network. I'd like to set it up so only certain users can edit/add data on certain forms. Also I want to have more than one user be able to edit/add data at the same time. I'm confused as what I need to do to set up this type of security. I found another post on this forum by Oldsoftboss (Dave) that gave a good, working example of a database with user login screens and different user security levels. My questions are:

1. Can I use his system in place of the built-in Access security?
2 . Do I need to implement both? If I don't use or change the access rights in
Access security, won't everybody be logging in with "Admin" rights?
3. What do I need to do to let multiple users work in the database at the same
time? I've already changed the database to "shared".
4. I don't want the users being able to change the forms, queries or reports
so I'm distributing an MDE file. Is there anything else I need to do so
users can't access the "design" button?

Needless to say, this whole security thing confuses me. Any help would be appreciated.
