Must Use File Open Command In Access To Achieve Record Locking
Mar 2, 2007
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 some security issues going on all of sudden. I now have 2 Record locking information files on my drive. I have several users sharing the database. Any clues why this is happen?
I need to open a specific pdf file per record by using a command button. The pdf files will all reside in a specific folder in a partition on my hard drive. Each pdf file will have a unique four digit file name e.g 1234.pdf.The file name will match a unique number allocated to each record. This number is generated by adding 1000 to the record ID.Record 10 will therefore have an associated pdf file name of 1010.pdf.I have created a text box field , named 'TestReportID', to capture the unique four digit number per record that I assume is needed to be referred to when setting up the code to find and display the correct related pdf file.
I have set up a command button on the records form and as simple test using the hyperlink address to the folder where the pdf files reside, I can open a pdf file by clicking on the command button but it does not matter what record is open when I click the command button, it will always open the same pdf file.If I don't identify a specific file name in the hyperlink address, when I click on the button it will display a file open dialog which lists all the relevant pdf files and I can then select and open the required file.I would like to cut out that step and get the correct file to open when I click the button.
How can I remove a Recording-Locking file without re-booting the computer? I've tried cut and copy and paste, with no results. No one is using the mdb file, but it has a record locking file associated with it.
I have inherited a number of 2007 Access databases that have a PDF (Adobe Acrobat Document) as the file type for the locking record.
These databases seem significantly slower, and have more frequent "Not Responding" periods on the network - especially when compared to those with a standard ldb file type locking record.
What determines the file type for a locking record?
Can the Adobe locking record be changed to a ldb? and How?
I have set up a database that houses file locations. The form that I have made shows a job # and the files that correlate with it. I would like to set up a command button that will read the file name and open it in Excell. If any one know how to do this I would greatly appreciate the help.
I am trying to open a workbook with a command button on a form however the path to the file is giving me a fit. The path for the file location contains spaces and I am going blind trying to figure out how to rectify the path. Heres the line. I am sure someone here will see this problem quick! Thanks.
Private Sub Command0_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command0_Click
I have a form called "frmProducts" which is linking to table "tblproducts".
Easy Enough...
The form shows all the Products information (fields). I have a "More Info" command button (cmdMoreInfo) next to every record in the form.
When the command button is clicked I would like it to open up another form "frmMoreInfo". But On frmMoreInfo I would only like it to show that specific product.
I have tried the following code on the on click event on the command button but it was always asking me for the value of Form![frmMoreInfo]![txtInternalCode]
Code:Private Sub Command12_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Command12_ClickDim stDocName As StringDim stLinkCriteria As StringstDocName = "frmMoreInfo" stLinkCriteria = "Form![frmMoreInfo]![txtInternalCode]=" & Me![txtInternalCode]DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteriaExit_Command12_Click:Exit SubErr_Command12_Click:MsgBox Err.DescriptionResume Exit_Command12_Click End Sub
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.
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.
I have a button in the form of the current access file. What I want to do is when the user click on the button, triggered the vba to backup current access file. But since the file is currently open, is this possible? If yes, may I know how to do it with vba?
I have tried two methods but failed: 1) Use copytofile method, but I get permission denied due to file open; 2) Use dbengine.compactdatabase method, but it also has problem if the file is open.
I am creating a database. I have all my forms, queries, tables, reports just as I need them. However, I would like to have a command button on my switchboard that will pull from a query to feed to a Word document (that's actually a letter on my company letterhead). I know a Macro has to be involved with this, but again, I have little to no knowledge of Macros. Also, I would like to be prompted to enter a client ID number when I click on this command button (because I only want to print a letter for a new client, not all of them).
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
Hi All, I have three excel files (ActualHires.xls, ActualPromotions.xls and ActualSeparation.xls). These are password protected files (with the same password). They are linked to an access database and whenever the files are opened, one must supply the password and click the 'Enable automatic refresh button.' What I was wondering was if this could be done in access with a command button. I have pasted some code below that I found but now I'm getting an error. This is the code:
For B = LBound(BookNames) To UBound(BookNames) WorkBooks.Open FileName:=BookNames(B), _ UpdateLinks:=3, Password:="*******" WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False Next B
But when I click the button, I get this error: Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range.
and this line is highlighted: WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False
I have a .mdb file that was created with Access 2000. Before I upgraded to 2003, I opened the file source by holding down 'shift' and double clicking the file. Now when I do that, it runs the application. How can I open the source file again.
Does anyone know where I can find a sample db that will let the user do the following:
Selected a file from their computer and upload to a the same folder as the db?
I am building an Investigation database. This function will allow the user to attach file to an investigation. (the files will be stored in a folder and logged on a table)
Hi, I am trying to open an access database (Access2002) from my computer ( C: est ) and I receive the error : Microsoft Access cannot open this file. This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site.
We have a database on our network server which I cannot open. I get the following error everytime I try to access it.
This file is located outside your or on an untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open the file due to potential security problems. To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible network location.
I think it has to do with a Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 security update. However, I cannot find the update to uninstall. Others can access the database located on the network, but some get a pop-up that allows them to say "no" and access the file. The pop-up has the following message:
Security Warning: Unsafe expressions are not blocked. Do you want to block unsafe expressions?
The file is part of a students exam, so a bit urgent!
The file just will not open, either by double click or open in Access. Tried holding shift, not the problem, not hidden or anything, just that trying to open brings up the first warning box (we have very strict security on students computers!) but after that nothing, no sign of an error or anything having been loaded. Tried compress & repair and the microsoft tool for compressing JET files, that did give an error when it tried, just saying error compacting database.
I've tried importing the file into a new database using access, that gives no results, but importing tables into excel does!
Anyone anyideas short of paying for it to be done?
Is it possible to open a pdf file that has been saved on a server?
What I have is a table that lists all of the files that have been saved to pdf. There is a column in that table that lists the exact path and file name. There is a combo box on a form that lists those file names. I need to know if there is VB code that will use that specific file name listed in the combo box and open (to view) the pdf file on the server.
Thank you so much for any help and insight provided.
I have a lot of pdf file that we save every day and name them like this 8012012,8022012, that are 2 digits day, 2 digits month and four digits of years no slashes. The fields are txt fields that we receive from banks. After processing their data, the upper management wants me to open those pdf files form access . I have created form named frmOpenPdf, placed text box named txtName and placed also command button named cmdOpen . I research code over internet and here is below, but it doesn't work;
Dim avCodeFile As CAcroAVDoc Dim MYSRTING As String MYSTRING = txtName.Value Set Acroapp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App") Acroapp.Show Set avCodeFile = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc") 'This is the code file avCodeFile.Open "C:Documents and SettingsDesktopETFPdfFilesMYSTRING.pdf",
I would like to have like this : an user types 08012012 and the code execute to open file names 0802012 in command button .
