No Longer Secured?
Jan 14, 2006
I created a DB program for my last job that resided on a stand alone PC. It has the Access generated user level security (so there's a "secured.mdb" file) and can only be opened via the desktop icon. In the past, when I copeid the db to a flash drive, took it home to work on it, it always said I didn't have permissions to run it unless I placed it in the right spot on my computer where I've got it set up with a secured file and the desktop to open it.
Yesterday, I noticed that I can now open it anywhere, including my laptop, and it just opens. My concern is, I don't trust the business where the program is being used to not take it and call it their own (I trust the management team, however).
ANy ideas why it no longer looks for the user level security now?
I'm running XP Pro on both machines, Access 2002 on the desktop and 2003 on the laptop.
Thanks.

Hello All,
I have implemented Access security and it seems to be working or so I thought :(
I need to hide a few tables from users but some reports require access to the tables - which forced me to grant read access to the tables... which then lets users read the sensitive data. This is not good... How do you get around that issue? I'm confused...
(My DB is split into a FE/BE)
Thanks,
Lissa

I built a database and then set up usergroup permissions via the user level security wizard. Unfortunately I set the "Use this as the default workgroup file" (when I had only wanted to secure the database I was working on and now all databases are affected) option when running the wizard. The database resides on a network and some of the users can access the database without logging in and others cannot open the database at all, they get a message "Access cannot locate Secured.mdw file". Something obviously got corrupted when the wizard ran. I have two objectives:
How do I save the database? One user is using the database successfully (but she does not have to log in)
How do I remove the user level security so I can start over?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I am trying to compact & repair a secured database. I log in exclusively as the administrator with the following shortcut property target: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" f:pathnameappname.mdb /User "adminname" /Pwd "adminpwd" /wrkgrp f:pathnameappname.mdw /excl
When I run Compact & Repair, I get the following message: "Microsoft Office Access can't delete f:pathnameappname.mdb after compacting it. The compacted database has been named f:pathnamedb1.mdb."
It goes on to say that it can't delete the original database because it is read-only (even though it is not).
Can I compact a secured database manually, or does it require some sort of utility?
Thanks.

Hi :)
(A2K format, but running on XP, etc)
I have used Microsoft’s Security FAQ and recommendations on this forum and build a split database; secured with one worgroup file for development and one for customers: what is the most appropriate way to upgrade the backend database content (tables mostly) (as the front-end database can just be replaced) at the customers site?
At the customer there is no development workgroup file, so no permissions to change database objects. I would really like to run sql updates from the new FE database. The solution I currently have devised to go around this problem, involves a lot of manual data moving code, to take care of referential integrity etc. However this approach has a higher risk of creating errors and also takes a lot longer time.
Is there something I have misunderstood of the Security FAQ or recommendation on this forum?
Thanx
:)

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'm sure most people use Windows shortcuts to open their secured databases, but I found that it didn't always work (depending on which computer I used). Editing a shortcut is pretty confusing since the command is all on one line. I decided to make a batch file to open my secured databases instead. Here's a batch file I use to open a database of mine:@ECHO OFFREM - Set variables to be used in the batch file.SET BACK=Z:BobManager Listdb_be.mdbSET FRONT=Z:BobManager Listdb_fe.mdbSET WRKGRP=Z:BobManager ListSecured.mdwSET OFFICE=C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXEIF EXIST "%OFFICE%" GOTO PROMPTSET OFFICE=C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXEGOTO PROMPTREM - Ask the user which end to open.:PROMPTCLSSET /P dbChoice=Do you wish to open the frontend(1) or the backend(2)? if "%dbChoice%" == "1" ( "%OFFICE%" "%FRONT%" /wrkgrp "%WRKGRP%" GOTO END)if "%dbChoice%" == "2" ( "%OFFICE%" "%BACK%" /wrkgrp "%WRKGRP%" GOTO END):ENDThis isn't the simplest batch file ever, but if you want to use this you just need to change the paths to your frontend, backend, workgroup file, and your version of Access. If Office was installed in the default location you shouldn't need to change those lines, unless you know you'll always be using the same version of Access.

I have an access database that was set with security about 10 years ago.
I have now created another database in 2010 and I am importing all the objects to make a clean non secured database.
When I import tables it imports system table objects like MSysRelationships, but as it already exists it adds another MSysRelationships with a 1 on the end (MSysRelationships1).
Should I delete the original MSysRelationships and then rename the MSysRelationships1 as MSysRelationships.
There are numerous others like MSysAccessstorage, MSysACEs etc...
I am gathering that if I don't rename MSysRelationships1to MSysRelationships then the relationship data would be incorrect and the database wouldn't work correctly, but maybe I am wrong.

Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way of preventing people from linking tables with a database i have that has a security logon?
In essence they would be able to run their own database with the information in my secure mdb without first logging in !!
Is there a way of preventing this? Any pointers or guidance would be most helpful
Cheers

Not exactly sure if we has anything to do with sql server so sorry if it isnt strictly relevant.
I have a database on sql server and am using an access data project as the front end. Have finsihed this and is working fine till I try and use it on another computer on the network. It still connects to the database fine (well on most machines on the network not sure why not on the others) but the problem is access functions in my reports and forms seem to have stopped working and show up as ?#name
Examples of the kind of functions I am talking about are
=Format$([DateFrom],"Long Date")
=[SumOfMinutes]60 & Format([SumOfMinutes] Mod 60,":00")
any suggestions?

I'm using Access 2000 along with Oulook 2003. Since we changed email servers, the send report no longer works. The addresses no longer appear to be valid. I can manually put all the names in every time an email is sent, but that is defeating the purpose!
I even tried changing the addresses to what an outsider would use rather than our internal name list; (milko@valspar.com instead of Mary Ilko) but this didn't work either.
Here's the code:
Private Sub cmdMailApproval_Click()
OnError GoTo Err_cmdMailApprovalClick
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName="rptForApprovalReport"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview,, "[Batch#]=forms![frmInbound]![Batch#]"
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, StDocName, acFormatSNP, "FirstName Lastname",,,"Pre SHip Approval", "Please see the attached."
DoCmd.SendObject
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a replica database in Access 2000.
I changed a form in the design master that had nothing to do with the date or a date field. Everything appeared fine.
Now I updated the replicas, and an error is happening on all replicas as well as the design master. Any reference to Date() or Now() causes errors.
If it's a field on a form it has an #Name error. If Date() or Now() is on a report, a popup to enter parameters appear for the date. This database with these codes have been working for years.
Is it safe to say it's no longer recognizing Date() or Now() ?
Any ideas on a fix?

I recently upgraded to Access XP (2002) and now my application will not respond to F11 to get into the development window. This application has two mdb files. One is the database (with security), and the other one has the forms, queries, reports and links to the tables in the first mdb.

I developed a database in 2005 and used the 'Left' function in many of the queries to obtain the the correct text for output to reports. The database worked extremely well for a year and a half.
I have not accessed it for the past year. Recently I opened the database for use with a new project and I keep receiving the error message:
! Undefined function 'Left' in expression.
I haven't changed any of the expressions and do not understand why this funtion no longer works.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Situation: I have written a fairly straight forward nested query which aggregates sales & activity data (num_calls, date, etc.) by customer specialty (CODE_ESP_ACC1) in a single query. The SQL I have written to achieve this is as follows:
SELECT Q002.GP, Sum(Q002.Num_Calls) AS Total_Calls
FROM (SELECT Q001.CODE_ESP_ACC1, Count(Q001.ACT_ID) AS [Num_Calls], Iif([Q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MG" or [q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MF",1,0) AS GP
FROM (SELECT [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACT_ID, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].TER, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACC_ID, [11 Physicians with main specialty].CODE_ESP_ACC1, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].DATE
FROM [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM] LEFT JOIN [11 Physicians with main specialty] ON [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACC_ID = [11 Physicians with main specialty].ID_ACC
WHERE ((([06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].POSITION)=1))) AS Q001
GROUP BY q001.code_esp_acc1, Iif([q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MG" Or [code_esp_acc1]="MF",1,0)
HAVING (((Q001.code_esp_acc1) Is Not Null))) AS Q002
GROUP BY Q002.GP;
This works absolutely fine. I can save this query and run it many times without problems. However, if I then re-enter SQL edit view, Access reformats it as follows:
SELECT Q002.GP, Sum(Q002.Num_Calls) AS Total_Calls
FROM [SELECT Q001.CODE_ESP_ACC1, Count(Q001.ACT_ID) AS [Num_Calls], Iif([Q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MG" or [q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MF",1,0) AS GP
FROM (SELECT [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACT_ID, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].TER, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACC_ID, [11 Physicians with main specialty].CODE_ESP_ACC1, [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].DATE
FROM [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM] LEFT JOIN [11 Physicians with main specialty] ON [06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].ACC_ID = [11 Physicians with main specialty].ID_ACC
WHERE ((([06 Act 2005 Hosp - IM].POSITION)=1))) AS Q001
GROUP BY q001.code_esp_acc1, Iif([q001].[code_esp_acc1]="MG" Or [code_esp_acc1]="MF",1,0)
HAVING (((Q001.code_esp_acc1) Is Not Null))]. AS Q002
GROUP BY Q002.GP;
... and this no longer works (syntax error in FROM statement).
To save you sifting through the SQL, the error is caused by Access replacing the soft brackets () aroung the outermost FROM statement with an object identifier-style hard bracket []. - specifically, the outermost SELECT statement now reads
SELECT Q002.GP, Sum(Q002.Num_Calls) AS Total_Calls
FROM [
instead of
SELECT Q002.GP, Sum(Q002.Num_Calls) AS Total_Calls
FROM (
and the alias for the subquery reads
]. AS Q002
instead of
) AS Q002
Changing the Access alterations back to my original fixes this problem - so the problem is more an annoyance than a disaster. However, I have no idea why Access is doing this to my query, nor how to prevent it from doing so. Does anybody have any experience of this behaviour in Access and any ideas of how to fix it?
Help! Replies appreciated.

Several years ago, my colleague and I built some databases (using Access 97, if it matters). We are both responsible for the maintenance of them.
Recently, the hard drive in my PC crashed, and the IT group replaced it. Now, when I open one of the databases, I cannot see all of the Forms, Tables, etc. Thinking the database had been corrupted, I asked my colleague to open it on his machine. Everything was there, and can be viewed from his PC.
All was well until my hard drive was replaced. Has anyone seen this before? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a large spreadsheet with one column of information which is longer than what access accepts as long text. So when I convert the spreadsheet to access all the large boxes of information are shortened so that I am losing a lot of information.

i wish to combine multiple fields (there are no fixed number of fields, they vary depending on the data, so i guess union queries are out of the question) into one large field. For example:
TABLE 1:
PNumber
PName
C1
C2
C3
1
AAA
0.1
0.2
0.3
2
BBB
0.4
0.5
0.6
So i wish to combine the fields C1, C2 and C3 into a larger fields containing all the data. So considering the example above, it should look like this:
TABLE 2:
PNumber
PName
C1+C2+C3
1
AAA
0.1
1
AAA
0.2
1
AAA
0.3
2
BBB
0.4
2
BBB
0.5
2
BBB
0.6
I plan on entering data into TABLE 1 using a form and running a query, or some code etc so that it looks like TABLE 2.

I am using an application that uses an Access database, and I believe the original database was created in the 97 version. The application queries the database and allows a person to view the data in the database to select a particular instrument to test. When the MS Office was upgraded by our IT we are no longer able to view the data in application. The fields, rows, and columns appear, but the numbers and letters are not visible. The data is really there, but can't be seen.
I have attached a screenshot of the view that shows the white columns and rows.

I have an application that inserts records to a database, and it works perfectly on mysql
when i try to insert the records on access after inserting 340 records i get this error message that says
ERROR [HY000][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Object invalid or no longer set.
Is there any reason why i'm getting this message?
I'm connecting fine to the database because i'm inserting records, but it suddenly stops and i don't know why

Hi all,
I have an Access 2002 (SP3) frontend and SQL 2000 (SP3a) backend.
2 sites, 2 SQL servers ( identical hardware and software).
Replication using Push Merge every 5 minutes.
10 users at 1 site and 15 at the other with Access 2002 frontend stored locally on each users PC.
I get random 'object invalid or no longer set' messages just appearing on the workstation screen without the operator doing anything. about 3 or 4 a week, but not on the same workstation at 1 of the sites only, but only during the working hours of the other site. We have out of hours users who never experience this issue.
Occasionally the error is preceeded by a SQL ODBC connectivity error but this rare.
I had been informed it was network issue but I have been running continuous
ping from a suspect workstation to the sql server and back.
When the error occurs there are NO dropouts in the pings.
It doesn't follow volume of data changes either as one site can make hundreds of changes and we don't get the error and then it can be after 10 changes the error occurs.
I have been researching this now for about 2 weeks to no avail, if anyone can point me in the direction of good resources you will make my year. :D

I'm using Access 2003 with a frontend/backend database on a network. Several of our forms have image controls with links to a folder of JPG images, and these have worked fine for months. I have followed the recommended linking method described here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=92837&highlight=jpg+link) and as I mentioned everything has worked fine until recently. Foolish me decided to try out Office 2007 beta for a few days but uninstalled it after a few days. Now, on my computer only back on Access 2003, whenever I try to open one of the forms that previously worked I get an error message saying "Access does not support the format of the file '....jpg. Try converting the file to BMP or GIF format". Copies of the same frontend works fine on other work stations, and I can open jpgs in Word and Excel. Or, to be even more frustrating, an embedded jpg will show up fine in my copy of the program - it's only linked jpgs that are rejected. I first repaired Office 2003, then completed unintalled and reinstalled it - same error message. 2 hours with MS tech support has been likewise futile. I'm guessing it has to be some kind of registry error, but nothing I seem to do makes a difference. Any suggestions at all will be greatly appreciated, because my next step is a complete format and clean install of everything.
