I have a split database (A2000) on a server; many people use the database at many different terminals. I would like to save the computers identification to the record being created. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Thanks

The problem I having is if I have a computer name of a computer on our network (not the one I am running the database on), is there a way using VBa to find the details about this machine.
For example if the computer name is 'DTP002133' I can click 'start' then 'search for files and folders' then click 'computers' in the search for other items. This search will give me the computer location and comments. I would like to be able to automate this process within my database.
Not sure if this one is possible but thought I'd pick you brains...
Thanks
I have been searching and found a few great threads about checking users but the codes there were incomplete. Is there a way to effectively log a user's name & computer name when they open your database and also log when they close/exit your database. Without them noticing but just for your own personal security incase something happens and you would like to know who all was actually working in/on the database at that specific time?
Or just something that will show me who is in the database so I dont' have to keep seeing network333 something has it open.
Thanking you all in advance, and I know I am a P.I.T.A.!
And yes I now that's the title of a Knowledge base article, I stole it because it put into words what I can only say in expletives right now.
Basically, well it's all a bit odd.
I got users on the network who, until yesterday, could access some networked databases. Other files from the same source are ok, just Access files.
Today the moment they click (and I mean a single-click) on the icon to open the database...explorer hangs.
You can't open the database from within MS Access either, that hangs too. But you CAN open them up and use them if you can get them copied locally.
Oh yeah, some people (in the same room, on the same VLAN) can access the database, but can't perform any tasks within it.
Databases are a mix of 97 and 2000.
And to make matters worse, it's happening on another server.
I know you're gonna shout virus, but that looks to be a non-starter since I know of no such virus which would affect ONLY Access files and do it on a single click, and secondly The systems check out fine with both Sophos (and our good luck charm AVG) run against them.
Holy Moley! Has anyone ever come accross such a palarva?
When the user press 'tab' key the record is being saved. I would like to prevent it and enble record saving only when 'save' button is presed

I'm writing a course registration Db. I have a have 3 tables at the moment tblContacts [ContactID], [FName], [SName], [Etc..] tblCourseRegistration[RegID] [ContactID][CourseID] and
tblCourses[CourseID] [CourseName] [Etc...]
These are all linked on a tabbed form. I have found that the same Contact can sign up for the same course twice. I need to stop this happening. Is there an easy way to prevent this or do I have to write a query that runs before the save command to prevent this?
Thanks in advance person with sore head!
I need to know how to send an email to myself when someone adds a new record
to my database. If someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

What i want to do is if a user forgets to put lets say Address or Zip
Will not allow user to save record but instead will highlight the text boxs
that are required. Once data is put in will allow user to save record.
Any ideas
I have a Multi user Access Database which has been split into a Front and Back end. What I am noticing is sometimes when the user enters data into the Front end form, it is not being saved in the Backend tables....
How to confirm when the user clicks save that the data is actually being saved in the backend tables.
When using Access 2007, I have a new record button, but that record is only written to the db once you navigate away from it. How do I write immediately to the DB, so that record is saved without navigating away from it. I believe I can use ADO or DAO but I'm having difficulties.
Private Sub Command71_Click()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
MaxValue = DMax("[Record Num]", "Joblog")
Text64.Value = MaxValue + 1
i want to have a button where the operator can cancel when on a current record. i want an if. if form has changes made but not saved then undo else close.
is the record state 'dirty'?
I'm working on a "Product Details" form somewhat similar to form in northwind, which the record source in "Products" table. what i'm trying to do is after clicking "save and new" command button to go to new record in form, i would like all text boxes to automatically retrieve the value from last saved record set as default value.
after google searching this subject i found the LastModified Syntax but i just don't understand whether i use it in VB or marco, or even how to implicate this. Should I make macro on each txtbox or should i create module? if i have to create either macro or module.
Something stupid goes wrong here!
I have a form with my own navigation buttons. The problem is a AddNew button is clicked for a new record, but it automatically adds into the relevant table when I click on the MovePrevious and MoveFirst button without data entry.
Has anyone encountered such problem? Kindly help me.
Many Thanks

How can I force a field in a form to be updated before the record is saved / changed?
For instance I have a form with information on it and I want to ensure that any time the form is updated the user fills in a section providing the date and by who it has been updated by. I dont want the record to save unless that information has been filled out, and I also want it to take you to the field if you press save and it hasnt been filled out along with an error message.
To try and be a bit clearer. At current I have a Save and New button. This saves the form if dirty and opens a new record.
I want to add in the step that if record has been changed and FieldA has not just been updated then go to fieldA (Showing a message box). If FieldA has just been updated then save record and open new as normal.
My current save & new button properties are as follows (in Macro Editor)
On error Go To Next
If [form].[dirty]
RunMenuCommand Command SaveRecord
End If
If [MacroError].[Number}< >0
Message =[MacroError].[Description]
Beep Yes
Type None
Stop macro
On Error
Go To Fail
Go To Record
Record New
Go To Control
Control name Resort Code
Is there a way to disable my print report button if the user has not hit the save button ???? and maybe display a msg box?
attached a snippit of my form.
I have designed a database that has two forms as inputs to a table. The first form is a checklist and when it is completed it saves all fields except the ManagerID field. I then use the blank ManagerID, clientID and Date to pull onto a form for the manager to complete. On completion I want the ManagerID to save into the current records so they do not show up in the manager checklist forms and I then have a complete record. I have been searching online and cant seem to see how the best avenue is. I have an append query, see below
Code:
INSERT INTO ChecklistResults ( ManagerID )
SELECT ChecklistResults.ManagerID, ChecklistResults.ClientID, ChecklistResults.DateCompleted
FROM ChecklistResults
WHERE (((ChecklistResults.ClientID)=[Forms]![TeamLeader]![ComClientNotFin]) AND ((ChecklistResults.DateCompleted)=[Forms]![TeamLeader]![ComDateSelect]));
Code:
Private Sub CmdAppend_Click()
Dim dbsNorthwind As dao.Database
Dim rstAmend As dao.Recordset
Dim qdfAmend As dao.QueryDef
[code]...
I have a piece of code that I'm using to display an image on a report based on a path saved to each record. the code is:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.ImagePath) Then
Me.ImgPic.Picture = "O:BellinghamIntranetProductionLabelsNo Label.bmp"
Else
Me.ImgPic.Picture = Me.ImagePath
End If
End Sub
It seems like every few months the code crashes access and then never works again. When I debug, the part that is highlighted is:
Code:
Me.ImgPic.Picture = Me.ImagePath
The only way i've found to correct it is to delete the report and the module and copy them back in from a backup database. What could be causing this code to crash or how to stabalize my database to prevent this from happening again.
In my Access app I need to get the latest record added of an item from a MS Sql table and check the period between now and the date saved in the record.
So my guess is:
Select TOP 1 * from tbl_StockItems
Where StockId = Loc_StockId
I then need to check the days between tbl_StockItems.LastStockDate and Today.
How would I write an Access VBA query to give me the amount of days and put that number into a variable.
I have an Access DB shared through a network folder. It is currently frozen and showing a record lock, however, none of the users have it open. Is there a way to kill the lock so I can restore it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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
[code]....
Anyone know how to get the computer ID or name unique to your computer?
I want to be able to use it in a database to keep logs for each computer on the network.
Any ideas?
Hi
I don't know ASP at all, and I know very little about the Internet.I do know JavaScript and VB6 among other things, so I am not a complete dummy.
I have a webpage on a webhosting company's ftp (they host asp) and my html file is working, but my asp file won't do anything (should I be calling it with the javascript from my html file?).
What I want to do is make a list of the top 10 players of a game.
My questions:
1. how do i get my asp to display anything?
If I use my winXP IIS I can view ASP files. But from this ftp the computer just asks me if I want to run the file or save it and then opens my interdev program. Please help before I throw this computer out the window and I don't get to see your message.
2. Should my access file be 2.0 or 7.0 or whichever?
3. I use this code (from a tutorial) to connect to a database,
but it doesn't work.
[code]
<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.open "DSNname"
%>
What is DSNname?(In VB6 it is the name of the data control), but there is no such thing here, is it the mdb file name?
I think I will have many more questions but for now I'll stop here.
Thanks
After 2 days of searching I am sick too my stomach from not finding what I needed. I simply do not understand how it is possible that everyone, including Microsoft, assumes people just know stuff.
I have been wanted to read text files within an Access DB. The DB will extract key words and store them into fields. This is all very simple if I could get the rotten VB to read the files. I wanted to use the object My.Computer.FIlesystem, and all the others associated with that library. But going through the hundreds of possible references, I haven't a clue to which one has that library.
No matter where I went too look, not a single line, post, page listed how to reference it. Only how to use the function. So frustration.
My current reference list is as follows:
Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Access 11.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft DOA 3.6 Object Library
Microsoft ActiveX Data Object 2.5 Library
If someone can please help.
