I have just started a new job in Italy!! One of my projects is to create a database for the companies infomation. I have never used Access, and its in Italian, i have zero italian and im finding it difficult to start. Does any one know how do i activate Multilingual User Interface and does it come with all Microsoft Office software...does it have to be installed or is it installed automatically
View RepliesHi:

Thanks for your support.

I am looking to design and create a user interface for my database. Preferably hiding the standard access interface and upon opening the database have a pop up form with buttons to direct users to forms queries.

Can I ask you to critique my database sample? I'm working on a multilingual database and I'm trying to figure out how to do it best. I found a couple of ideas on this forum but nothing that would help me completely. I uploaded a sample of what i have come up with.
Just need some feed back to see if this would do the job or if it would be the best way to do it.. Your critique and/ or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
René:confused:
is it possible touse visual basic 6 for example to create an interface for the finished access database so that I can create an install application for users that do nothave Access.
in other words, I want to have a standalone application through VB 6 that will manage the database application.

I need to develop an intranet site to allow not just read only but write access using either Access 2002 or 2007 (maybe). Does anyone have any advice to which is the best tool to use? I have Dream weaver MX already but I’m not that good with it, I have been looking at CodeCharge Studio 3.1 online Has anyone used it?
Thanks.

Hi People,
Another question,
My database is looking good now, but I have one question, I dont want users to view it as I do, i.e with all the wizards etc, so how do I create an interface which does not allow the user to view the backend?
I want to create a form and connect it to a MS Access database.
Moreover I wish that whatever entries I make in the form they get transferred to the corresponding fields in the Access database.
Any link for a similar thread will be highly appreciated
I want to use my browser to view/edit some data in a mdb file. Can someone point me in the right direction of what I need?
Thanks,

Hi All,
I am not an Access developer so please forgive my ignorance!
We have a Quality Assurance (QA) database (Access 2003) that has a "Project" table.
Currently our QA person has to fill in project data (e.g., project name, project manager, start date, etc.) from within the Access database. I can automate this process by providing the project data from an external source.
Does Access have any integration capabilities which allows it to receive external data, like:
- a command line interface for doing SQL inserts (like isql.exe)
- a formal API
I see examples of ODBC use in the manuals, but they are from within Access to connect to an external DB. I want to connect and insert into Access from the external source.
Push into access versus pull into access.
TIA,
Matt
Hi All
I'd like to implement something in an app to allow users to create their own ad-hoc queries from a specific number of fields from specific tables, without allowing them full access to the query designer.
I can see how to do it (a form with code that creates the SQL), but I wondered if anyone had done something like this before and had any tips or even any existing code. Have searched and can't find anything, but I suspect I'm searching on the wrong keywords.

I am executing a somewhat complex query. The query joins a local table to a third party linked VIEW table and then performs a crosstab transform to display the data in a meaningful way. I have a few other local table joins as well. The query takes about 5 seconds to run.
~20k records are displayed and the interface is COMPLETELY lagged/locked up. I click a record and access will start timing out. Scrolling down is nearly impossible... why would it still be unresponsive even after the query has finished executing?? isn't it just a result set and the interface should be fast?
Could anyone of you give me some sugguestions on designing a nice/efficent Data Entry interface (Form design) for adding new records?:
I have bound a Form with a table and linked all the textbox with the relevant fields in the table. I created a add new record button through the wizard provided by MS-Access as: DoCmd.GoToRecord,, acNewRec.
While, each time when I opened that Data Entry Interface, the current always pointed to the first one rather than leaving the blank field for data entry. Even I changed the value in those textbox, the system didn't create a new record in the table at all, only modifying the first record.
I know how to write the VBA code to open table and add new records by retrieving data from the Form interface, but I wonder whether there is more efficent solution by combining the default function/facilities from MS-Access itself and some VBA code. Also, it can have some validation before storing data into the tables.
Many Thanks
I would like to create a "wizard style" interface to allow users to Select items (staff members) by moving them from a list of "available" staff to a list of "selected" staff (and back again if they change their minds :rolleyes: ). - e.g. Like the Report Wizard, where you move table/query fields between the "Available Fields" and "Selected Fields" lists.
Does anyone have anything to help me out with this, that they could "lend" me ?
Of course I am stuck using AC97.... so I may need to borrow a hammer and chisel as well :D
We having this Human resource system that the company will be using however, the current payroll application will still be used as normal but the update will not be done on the same application.At the moment the current set up is that there a three database linked together that makes up the payroll application but for now one of this database will not be pupolated with data as it will now come from another source all together via extraction or file interface which is the new HR software.
The only problem I'm facing is some of those fields that i will need to transfer over to suit the current set up of the payroll application is not included on that new software file extract and i dont know where to start or what to do because abviously the file interface should consists of this mandatory field.Without seeing the relationship of what I'm talking about do you think its worth continuing this project as those wanted field are not included?And how can we go without these mandatory field?
does anyone know how to get a serial cash drawer with kick back interface to open through Access?
any help or a point in the right direction will be hugely appreciated
Have a look in the attached screenshots
I'm wondering why the relationship interface is still missing many tools that perform the work more efficiently. The interface misses the following (comparing with what we have in the ArcGIS software)
1. Pan tool
2. Zoom in/out too
3. Zoom all tool
4. Automatic arrangement
I am building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi 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?

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.
I have two tables. The first contains details of a budget holders money allocation for a given period, and the other tracks their spend on products over that period. How can I generate a query to calculate the total running spend for each user from the "budget spend table" that will be written into the users record in the "budget allocation table".
My aim is to show details of budget allocation, total spend to date and remaining budget for each user in an Order form / report.
Can anyone please advise me on how to do this or suggest another way of doing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have a database for mutli users which is split. Front end is available separately for 3 users. These users make data entry in the same form from their front end form. This particular form has combo box that retrieves data based on selection in combo box and the use starts filling the data in the subform. Upto this, form is Ok, no problems seen.
But when the second user opens the same form from the split database front end stored in his computer, and once the second user selects another record from the combo box, first user's record also changes immediately to the record of Second user. Both users now have the same record even though the form is separately accessed from front end.
Will like to check, i have a access database which can be open up by a few users.
How can i only allow the first user who open up the database to read and write the database and the follow users who open up the access have only read access?
I need some help building what I believe is called a user end. I'm done building the tables and forms and all that jazz, now I need an interface that my boss, who knows nothing about access, can easly access and manipulate data. Of course it would be nice if I'd look nice. Is there anybody who can help or can give me link to a decent tutorial.
I already searched these forums and googled for help.
i plan to use the Group security feature for my DB.... using the user ID and password... i also want to make use of the user ID in the autopopulating of some of the field in my forms.... if for an instance the person logged in is akshal... then the a particular field named "filled in by" is to be autopopulated by the user ID (i.e. akshal)
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan someone direct me to help with setting up User rights? I've always been the only user, but now I have multiple people working from my database and want to limit there authorizations. Also, is it possible to have someone actively using the database while I continue to make changes for forms and reports?
Thanks in advance for the help.
