Password Protecting Backend
Mar 2, 2007
I managed to password protect my backend (as the backend is on a server and anybody could access it) so i have it password protected so only i can gain access to the data.
Now, when i try and access the backend from the front end, the frontend prompts me that the password is invalid (indicating its trying to enter the backend using no password, thus an invalid password warning appears. And this means nobody can access the data from the frontend)
Is there a way to get round this password issue from the frontend? I.e. have the password for the backend, but when you access the frontend, it doesnt need the password for the backend (i have my own username/password system to log on to my database)
I know there are different user level securities you can use, but im not familiar with this. So if you have an idea about this, then im all ears but keep in mind I don’t really know how the security levels work in Access (nor do i have the time to learn it in depth or even find help other than here)
Many thanks for your help
David

Dim strPassword As String
If InputBox("Please enter the password:") <> strPassword Then
SomeOtherControl.SetFocus
TextBox1.Locked = True
End If
its just that need to add a password as well, i have tried to put this in between the <> but this does not work. i would like a message to say incorrect password as well if possable.

Hi
I've got a button on a form that opens another form - nothing unusual, but it would be preferable if this second form was password protected i.e. the user clicks the button to open the form and is immediately prompted to enter a password. I've looked at user-level security wizards but that confused me even more.
The database is networked and is used by 25+ people by the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!

HI,
I have a MS access 2003 database (in MDB format) which I use as a basic accounts system for our company (15 user). I have certain tables password protected depending on user using the old workgroup information file. This presents a problem as anyone can copy the database without linking the Information file and effectively get full admin access. I was looking to upgrade to Access 2007 but I gather that there is a different security engine and also a new file format (accdb file). I know that you can keep the same user security settings when upgrading to 2007 (while keerping the mdp file extension) but would be interested to know if I can improve security using 2007 while also being able to retain user-level access to certain tables like in access 2003? The major weakness in my system at the moment is anybody can copy the MDB file to another PC and access everyting...it seems too easy a system to crack. Do I need to completely reprogram my database using MySql on MSSql? Any advice would be appreciated?
Thanks in advance,
Shane

I have a set of tables, one of which contains sensitive information, which i need to password protect.
I've been through the User Lever Security Wizard a few times but i can't seem to find a security group account which will allow data to be input into a form but also to deny access to the afore mentioned table.
Can anyone help?

Hello,
I designed and distributed a database client to a bunch of users. They have asked me to password-protect it so that anyone can open the database and view the forms, but a password is needed to actually make any updates. I am trying to do this, but everything in Tools--Security is making my head spin. I have actually already managed to somehow lock myself out of my own database, although I have another copy.
How do I set the Workgroup Administrator Files so that they apply to anyone? It wants to put a separate file on my C: drive, but I don't use this database, I distribute it to people who do. (The server is on a share drive, can I put the Workgroup file(s) there?)
What settings do I modify to require *anyone* to need a password to update? Or is that even possible? I don't really want to break up the users into different categories.
If anyone could walk me through this process I would really, really appreciate it.

Basically i have a single database with several tables in it. I want certain tables such as Ireland, UK, US etc to only be accessable by employees from those countries. Is this possible and if so, how?
I have looked at user/group permissions but can't figure out how to assign passwords to users etc.
Any help is much appreciated

I have a combobox on a form which is populated from a field to present a list for the user to choose from.
I have limit list set to 'N'
When the user types something in the combobox that is not in the field in the table then I want to prompt for a password. Effectively password protecting the update of the field from a combobox.
If the password is correct the text is written to the field in the table and if not then not.
Help ?

I was using this form tutorial to password protect my administrative tools. When I went to run it I received this:
"User defined type not defined" and the line Dim rs As DAO.Recordset was highlighted.
I have little experience with VB and I was wondering if someone here had any idea if it was their code that was wrong, or if it was something I did...

I have to do this and I believe there is VBA code to re-link tables when needed that can be found on the web. My client needs access to everything because he will move on to another developer after this, so what I thought I would do is send him a private file that has the password for the backend and then just write the ADO code needed in the app's front end to connect with the password.

Hi,
Firstly thank you for your help, this should be a simple one I hope, but is cracking my head on the wall. Have searched and searched and can't find an answer.
I have an Access Db that is not password protected, but is asking for a password.
It opens on any other machine fine?
I think my version of Access is playing funny buggers with me, any suggestions?
I was trying to implement some security on this Db, which is why it happened I'm sure. I ran the security wizard, set-up two users and admin with passwords, I have the output file to "recreate" something too.
Issue is, I then copied this Db to another computer for use on there, it worked without a Password, so didn't need to worry about it, now I can't open any Db on my machine??
Your help on this obvious pointer would be great!

Hello all,
I have got two questions i would like to ask y'all.
1. I have created a data input form that feeds directly into a table is there any way i can protect that table so it can only be viewed by me but the form will still be able to feed in it. Something like a password system would be excellent, i know you can hide the database window and stuff like that but its not to hard to get round.
2. What are the chances of me being able to convert my form into a web page? i know you can create pretty decent web pages with it as it is but i would just love to drag my form onto a web page (Very unlikely but worth a try).
Any help with either of the above will be greatly apreciated.
Cheers
Tim

Hi There,
We have a fairly basic contact db at work which we use for incoming enquiries. Users need to be able to make ammendments to one particular field "Comments" after they have spoke to or received a call from someone. What I want to do is protect all the other fields in the table so a user cannot change any data by accident but can still input data into the "Comments" field. Is there a simple means of protecting the other fields, leaving "Comments" avilable for edit???
Regards
Keith:o

Hi,
I have a database that has been created for a company - all of the queries they need to run and changes they need to make to DB data is done through a series of Forms. Is there a way I can make it so all they can do is access the Forms (so they can't right-click and edit the form or edit any code etc.)
Thanks!

I have a single user DAO .MDE database application
where the calculations rely on data defined
by an external authority and it must not be altered.
To protect the data from accidental alteration,
it is my intention to imbed the data as text lines
in a module.
When the database is opened, a procedure empties
the data table and appends the contents of the text
in the module into the table.
There data consists of 62 records (rows) of 23 columns.
The data changes very rarely, and change would
involve simple text editing.
I am sure that others have come upon a similar
challenge, and my question is if there are other
methods to protect crucial data.
Thanks for any suggestions

I wrote an MS Access database before joining a client. I allowed them to use it. I am now leaving the company and would like to protect my intellectual property. Ideally I would like to put an "expiry date" in the database so that after a specified date it no longer functions, or will only function if they purchase the database. Anyway I can do this?
