Opening Autoexec Macro Causes Reference To Outdated Login Form
Feb 20, 2014
I changed the name of a form referenced in the Autoexec macro from "frmLogin" to "frmLoginPW". However when I Open Access 2010 instead of Form "frmLoginPw" opening I get a message box saying that the system can't find "frmLogin". If I do a search through all the code in the project there is NO reference to "frmLogin" as I changed any code to refer to "frmLoginPW" and recompiled the project.
I can not get rid of this error and if I press the OK button on this error message ( from MS Access not my error coding) the "frmLoginPw" opens and the code in the form works. (Password authentication etc etc.). I deleted the AutoExec macro and remade the macro and referred it to the new form "frmLoginPW", this did not work. I loaded the Accdb file using the Run command and the /Decompile command line parameter to no effect.
I have a DB with an AutoExec macro. I created the DB from scratch. When I open the DB from Windows Explorer with the shift key held down the AutoExec macro still runs. If I have people on other computers open the same way it doesn't run. If I open Access first then hold the shift key down it doesn't run. I couldn't find any references to a shift key issue like this. I'm looking for an answer as to why there would be a difference on my PC between opening in WE or directly in Access.
I have access 2010, I currently have a database in place and operational. What I am wondering is there a way to have a form come up whenever someone opens access and asks for a password and login name. Also I would like to have a 2 tier system. One for Admins and the other for users with limited access.
I've managed to create a multi-user login form with macro.
user1 is able to login with his password and user2 is able to login with his password. latter I noticed that user1 is able to login with any password in the table and use his previous password to login even after changing it.
I need to know the procedure or event code for user login form at opening.
I am working on database which is almost done and i defined tables for users with passwords.
I need to know how i can assign Login Form to be appear on opening of database no other person than listed users should be able to enter or open database without password, to enforce this i made a login form.
Self tought in Access07 but I'm trying to do the following:
I've got a form (Clients_F) that has a subform in datasheet view with a list of quote numbers made by each customer, I have managed to make a Macro after a few hours and googling, that opens another form (Quotes_F) so that it can be edited when a quote number is clicked, but I wish to be able to open Quotes_F as a new record when the empty field under the numbers column in the list is clicked.
Also want to know if it's possible to mantain the Customer's details pre-filled?...I am guessing that this is done through the CustomerID(PK & FK)?
I've msgbox'd the txtProblemID and the correct ID is being passed. Where I fall into an error is on the frmUserInformation's onLoad event which uses the ID form the frmUserInformation.txtUserID box. The error I get is "Syntax error (missing operator in query expression '[fldUserID]='."
What I've narrowed it to is the timing between the docmd.openform and the onload of the form. I've tried changing the onload to be on activate - and it just opens empty.
how to get the docmd to open the form correctly before the onload tries to fire?
I reused one macro to develop a form in MS access.
The macro fetch the record set corresponding to the reference value from the table.
The reformat value is a numeric field.
The macro code is :
Private Sub Modifiable20_AfterUpdate() Dim rs As Object Set rs =Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[Reference_Number] = ' " & Me![Modifiable20] & " ' " If Not rs.EOF then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
What to change in the above code to make it work....
I have a ms access application in Front End and linked tables to sql server 2008 r2 in back end.. every time I open my application the linked tables ask to me for the user and password of the sql server user of the odbc conection. I want to connect to my sql database without login every time the user open the application, I know that can be possible if I start session from vba code...
Is it possible to open an Excel FILE using a macro, if so could someone shed some light on this? I know how to open Excel itself using RunApp but it doesnt work with files.
I have a form in Datasheet view and when you click on a record in that form I want it to take you to a report with all the details of that record number. I have the On Click event set to run a Macro. The Macro is as follows:
OpenReport Report Name Incident Report View Report Filter Name Open Where Condition =[Event ID]=[Reports]!Incident Report]![Event ID] Window Mode Normal
This Where Condition works for me open another form from the form with the same Event ID. Why does it come to a "new" Incident on the report?
I was wondering if anybody knew a way to disable the security warning in Access that pops up saying "This file may not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer. Do you want to open this file or cancel the operation?"
If possible, I'd like to disable the message for just my database, but we currently don't use any other database anyway, so I'm not too concerned with turning it off completely if that's all I can do. I'm sure there has to be an option somewhere to not check for macros or something, but I can't find it.
If anyone knows how to do this or if you know that it is not possible, please let me know.
I bring up the database (Access 2003 / XP) by holding down the shift-key. As designed, the shift-key by-passes running the autoexec macro automatically. I then run the autoexec macro with the vba code viewer up so I can F8 down through all the code. The autoexec macro is one statement - RUNCODE which executes a vba FUNCTION Startup(). Everything seems to work great, but when the function goes to EXIT FUNCTION I assumed it's completed. BUT the next F8 GOES TO THE Startup() FUNCTION again and runs through the code over and over.
I don't think it does this when the program actually runs normally (don't by-pass the autoexec), but why it's running the function over and over again when I'm F8'ing through the code.
Is it something peculiar with the AUTOEXEC in MS ACCESS? Can I trust that it really does ONLY RUN ONE TIME?
I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load() OpenTimer = Timer End Sub Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer() If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.
Dear all, I have an application includes one table "info" and two forms "frmlogin" & "frmwelcome". The table "info" contains many columns, two of them are [UserName] and [PassWord]. This table is filled with three records. "frmlogin" form contains two text boxes and one button. I want the user to enter user name and the password in those two text boxes, and when clicking the button, I want the application if that user is registered or no. If yes, he/she will be moved to the "frmwelcom", that display "Welcome [UserName]".
I need help with my Video rental store project the problem is that I want a security login method works with the my requirements. The manager has his own form with all the information he need and the other employees has another form.
I used this tutorial http://www.databasedev.co.uk/login.html to make the login form
the employee tables has ID, Password, Access Level
The VB code is like this
Option Compare Database Private intLogonAttempts As Integer Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) 'On open set focus to combo box Me.cboEmployeeLogOn.SetFocus End Sub
Private Sub cboEmployeeLogOn_AfterUpdate() 'After selecting user name set focus to password field Me.txtPassword.SetFocus End Sub
Private Sub btnLogin_Click()
'Check to see if data is entered into the UserName combo box
If IsNull(Me.cboEmployeeLogOn) Or Me.cboEmployeeLogOn = "" Then MsgBox "You must enter a User Name.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data" Me.cboEmployeeLogOn.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
'Check to see if data is entered into the password box
If IsNull(Me.txtPassword) Or Me.txtPassword = "" Then MsgBox "You must enter a Password.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data" Me.txtPassword.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
'Check value of password in tblEmployees to see if this 'matches value chosen in combo box
If Me.txtPassword.Value = DLookup("EmployeePassword", "tblEmployee", "[EmployeeID]=" & Me.cboEmployeeLogOn.Value) Then
MsgBox "Password Invalid. Please Try Again", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Entry!" Me.txtPassword.SetFocus End If
'If User Enters incorrect password 3 times database will shutdown
intLogonAttempts = intLogonAttempts + 1 If intLogonAttempts > 3 Then MsgBox "You do not have access to this database.Please contact admin.", vbCritical, "Restricted Access!" Application.Quit End If
End Sub
I am asking for two things. First I want the Manger go to his form after the login completed and all the other employees go to another form I specify.
Second if there is a way that I show the name of the Employee in the destination form by knowing his ID (passing the ID to the other form).
I have built a login form which shows or hides all tool bars depending on the user name and password. Can I also control the other permissons like being able to edit forms and tables? I know I can do this using the MS Access built in functionality, but can I do it programatically from my user login screen.
I set the tool bar visibility, close the login form and open the main switchboard using the "on click" button of my login form. Can the above permissions controls be done here as well?
I'm currently having issues with my login script on my opening form... it's supposed to close the application if it gets 3 failed attempts, but it's not closing... it just keeps giving me a popup and letting me type the password again. Here's the Code:
'Check to see if data is entered into the UserName combo box
If IsNull(Me.cboEmployee) Or Me.cboEmployee = "" Then MsgBox "You must enter a User Name.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data" Me.cboEmployee.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
'Check to see if data is entered into the password box
If IsNull(Me.txtPassword) Or Me.txtPassword = "" Then MsgBox "You must enter a Password.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data" Me.txtPassword.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
'Check value of password in tblEmployees to see if this 'matches value chosen in combo box
If Me.txtPassword.Value = DLookup("Password", "tblLogin", "[UserID]=" & Me.cboEmployee.Value) Then
Else MsgBox "Password Invalid. Please Try Again", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Entry!" Me.txtPassword.SetFocus End If
'If User Enters incorrect password 3 times database will shutdown
intLogonAttempts = intLogonAttempts + 1 If intLogonAttempts > 3 Then MsgBox "You do not have access to this database. Please contact admin.", vbCritical, "Restricted Access!" Application.Quit End If
I have a login form which works fine, but I would like it so that when the caret is in the password field that if the user presses Enter it will do the loginBtn_Click event. This is what I've tried so far...
Private Sub txtPassword_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode = vbkeyEnter Then kecode = 0 loginBtn_Click End If End Sub
I am trying to write a more complex macro that will start another macro at a preset time, however I am getting stopped at the first hurdle - getting a macro to run another macro.
Here is the code i am using at the moment, all I want to do currently is click the first button, then get the second macro to execute. But no luck, getting error 2157 "cannot find the procedure"
i am having a login form. where i have only two users..may be 3 suppose it is admin and guest then i have a main form where i have 5 tabs,...where each tab contains 7 or more command buttons which will open some forms what i need is when the admin is login he should be able to edit add delete but if it is a guest then all the forms should be read only i know abt the allowaddition and etc..but i don't know where to use it.. is it in the login form or in the main form or in each and every form
Im not that expert in access programming, still have some more learning to do. anyway, my goal is to make a simple login form with a database of its users. How do I code it. The structure of my form is it has 2 unbound txtbox and 1 command button. A user will input its username and password then when the command button is clicked it will validate the user table if the data encoded is in the database. Thanks hope u can help me.
