Hi! I work at a company where a same DB is being opened by more than one user, is there any way to allow many users be working on a same DB?
Actually I cannot even open it if its already opened. It appears another file with a "lock", which seems to be protecting the DB. :confused:
i have done a database for a library that enables the user to enter the information about the books and search for it, the administrator have the right to enter the info about the books and edit and search the others have more limited rights depending on which group they belong, i used for the connection (currentProject) because i did all the forms and tables in one DB
a friend from this forum told me and i think he s right, that if i want to put it on the network i have to separate the forms and the tables ie save the tables and the queries on another database that i put on the network
i have a problem
1- im not sure how to connect to another database can i do it like this
Dim conDB as ADODB.connection
set conDB=new ADODB.connection
conDB=openDatabase("the path") or not
2-i have done the result form with a record source (search-query) and then inserted the fields into the form in the design view
can i do that with a query if it was from another database or i need to write it all in code (taking into consideration that i havent found how to insert datacontrols and do the binding, because im using french access, that s why i assigned automatically a record source for the form)
thanks in advance
I have a database on my laptop that normally accesses a backend on a local server. However when the laptop isn't on that network I would like the database to switch to a local backend on the harddrive. What is the best way of doing this?
I was thinking on startup a simple check to see if the network file exists and if not use the local one but I don't know if this is the best way of doing it.
I've been told numerous times that a shared database should have each user with their own FE. I've also seen in a number of places that the FE should be on the user's local machine. Is the FE on the local machine to limit network traffic only, or is there a greater reason for it?
I was under the assumption that the seperate FE's were to lower the probability of corruptions and sharing of local temp files... If this is the case, is it reasonable enough to have each user have their own FE in their own user folder on the network?
How multiple users can work on the same database across LAN, without using share point.

I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.
Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.
What is the best way to do this?
I'm new to Access and VBA, for the record. What I need to do is copy a SQL database (table structures and records) and save it as a local Access database, so that the user can query and make any changes on the local file without editting the SQL database.
Looking around, it seems like the best option would be to use the TransferDatabase method with the acImport option. Does this sound reasonable, or can someone with more experience suggest a better way to go about it? Thanks.
Hello,
I have a database that the table is located on a sharepoint website. This worked out well in the beginning but now that the database has thousands of records, it has slowed up a bit. What I want to do is at the load of the the database, it will automatically copy Sharepoint table to a local table located on the computer to speed up querys and such.
I was thinking an append query, am I right?

I'll try to explain what I'm trying to do. I want to use the MS Access (2010) application residing on the remote server on a Access database(accdb) that is located on my local (home) PC. I copied the database from the server. How do I get Access (running on the server) to work on my copy of the database?
I tried using my local (on my PC) copy of MS Access (2007) to work on the database, but but I get file errors (file paths look like server paths).
Adding a field in Access 2007.
I am adding a exisiting field which is already available on a Global Table and would like to add it on a local table within the same database. Also bearing in mind the db contains main objects - Tables/Queries/Sharepoint lists/forms/reports
Whats the process in doing this? Once added how does the data get populated?
I will have around 10 simultaneous users of a database. Each will probably keep it open all day and subject it to fairly light use.
I will split it into front and back ends, the be going into a network folder.
Where would you recommend I put the fe?
Should I put one fe in the same folder and let them all use it at the same time? I presume that would be faster than giving them all a copy of the front end to use on their local hard drives?
I have considered adding the facility on the fe to allow user-definable defaults, like the user's name, to speed things up for them but i assume that will only work if they each have their own fe and not sure if it's worth the hassle if it's faster to have one fe in the same network folder as the back end.
I have two pc,s hooked up as a workgroup network( no server) I have a database on one of the pc,s and when I open the database in the other pc it says that it is "read only". So I cant enter new records.
How can I resolve this problem??????
Thankyou in advance
is there any way to use a same database in a network that if i entered some entery and some body else entered another entery it will show all data entered by every people in everyone's computer ?!
thanks
Alright, so my pride and joy and departmental savior database has been fully implemented and people are so pleased with it that they *all* want to use it at the same time. Initially, I made it custom for three peoples' UI preferences, but since it's such an intuitive design, other staff now feel comfortable using it instead of passing the work down the line to the one person who knows how to use that "newfangled thing".
A couple years ago, I used FMPro and allowing for multiple users at once was an annoyingly complicated process dealing with permissions and rights and accounts and passwords and yadda yadda. Is it any easier to set up in Access? Does anything special even need to be done to allow for multiple simultaneous users?
I have a database built in Office 2000.
The client wants it across a network but insists they do not want it split! They want it in a shared drive which everyone has access to via a shortcut.
The database is secured so I presume the Workgroup file will have to be on each PC and a shortcut to the one database on the server which is in a shared mode. Would the security I have implemented still work or would I have to de-secure so everyone has the same level of access.
They do not have Access on all PC's. IFor this to work I presume Access is needed both on the server and PC's
I understand if I purchase Microsoft Access Developers 2000 it has a feature where I can distribute a database to users without Access? However, am I right in assuming this needs the database to be split.
In the UK are there any suggestions on where I can buy Microsoft Access Developers 2000 ?
Many thanks.
This problem is driving me nuts!!
I`ve just spent a fair few months creating a database to be used by our sales team, I`ve about finished it and came to trial it with the sales manager. When he is using the database at the same time as me it becomes slow.
The design has a front end with all the queries, forms etc and a back end on a server containing the tables.
The database was created using Access 2000 and was designed to replace a similair db created on 97 which has a decent speed on the network.
The other strange thing is that one particular macro that I`ve been using for the speed tests runs quite slow (about 3 secs) when 2 pcs have the db open but once the macro has run if it is run again it takes typically less than a second to run.
What would cause a db to run a macro at different speeds after they`ve been run once? I`ve tried everything I can find on the net to try and improve the speed to no avail.
Help please!!
Our office runs on a pretty large Access database (v2003). We are on a large hospital network and have about 15 users for our database. It tends to run VERY, VERY slow. Are there other options?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy boss cant access the database i made on his laptop at home.
The access database (.mdb) is on the company network.
I've got a database with several users and we've had two people recently who rather than creating a shortcut to the db on their desktop copied it and then proceeded to enter their data there instead of into the one on the network.
I would like to be able to add a field on the first page they see when they open it with the complete file name / path information. I know how to do it in Word by adding a field to a header or footer. However, I can't seem to figure out how to do it in Access.
My hope is that if I can display the path and then include a dialog box when the database is opened warning users to verify they have the correct version before they enter any information.
Alternatively, is there a script I could write that would have the db check that it's the V drive copy not a C drive copy?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am hoping someone will be able to help me with a problem I have. I am undertaking a social network analysis and in order to do this I need to be able to create a matrix with the following format:
Group Person
J Smith G Fowles M Jones
X 1 0 1
Y 0 1 0
Z 1 1 0
I also need to be able to store and retrieve personal and group level details. Note that people can be in more than one group and groups can have more than one person. My problem is that the data has been gathered by another institution and is only available in the following (Excel) format.
Group Person Role Group Characteristic .....
X J Smith Strategist Level One
X M Jones Supporter Level One
Y G Fowles Financer Level Three
Z J Smith Strategist Level Ten
Z G Fowles .... Level Ten
Any idea how I can go about doing this? I know how I could do it if I manually entered the data, but because there are literally thousands of individuals (and a whole heap of groups too) I am hoping hoping hoping that I can do it using Excel and Access. Any advice would be incredibly appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
I was using the database when there was a network error and I had to close it. When I tried to reopen it I got the error message: Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'MSysAccessObjects'. I logged off the PC and logged back on various others, but keep getting the same message. Can anyone tell me if this is terminal or is there a way around it. I do have a backup, but it's a few days old and a lot of work will need re-entering' so any help would be appreciated!!

Hi,
I have an Access database that needs to be secured and I have 2 problems:
1) How do I get it across a network so all users must enter their password?
2) How do I stop this from asking for a password for every database (i.e. I only want one database to require the password)?
Please keep answers simple as I am quite new to this!!
i have made a database in access 2010 . and i have put that in a shared folder . split that into fe and be. and on my network i am using access 2010 runtime on other computer to access it . on that computer in registry settings i have trusted locations as //server/database i.e. in database folder i have the fe and be.i can open the fe but with potential security warning i.e. of trusted locations i think . and when i click open on it it doesnt open my forms those are linked with tables from navigation form and displays the error that is something concerned with location g:database which is on my server computer.

What's the easiest way to deploy an access database (mdb) on a domain network to clients?
Hi guys,
I have very nearly completed designing and making a database for stock control for my company, and am now a little concerned on how it is going to be implemented. It is going to be done over a network, with only a handful of users. The idea is to have every user log in but with each person having different permissions. i.e onl;y being able to access maybe one or two forms, but also having an administrator that can view every form. Now, i am aware of the security settings in the tools menu, would this be the appropriate way, or would i have to creat an empl;yee table and set permissions thropugh vb? This is the first database i have constructed and need a little help!
The second problem is that the database will be over a network. Would i have to put the backend in one place and then have the front end installed on all the pc s and just access the backend when i its needed? Forgive me if this sounds a bit stupid but as i have said this is new to me..
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
