Im trying to design a tracking DB for phericals and ports located at workstations throughout the office. Theres over 200 workstations.
Ok this is what I have so far. Please tell me if im on the right track and any suggestions.
Ive never been good at doing the relationships. They are so frustrating at times.
Hi
I am looking for help related to the “You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time. If you proceed to make changes, you may not be able to save them later.” message when trying to change the design. I have done a lot of reading on this forum as well as googled the subject but have not found anything regarding my specific question. I find that there’s a whole lot of information regarding workgroup security and how to set up and troubleshoot. However, my needs are a bit more simple – I think :) We have a database that is shared among 5-6 users during a couple months out of the year. There are no log-on id’s required and everyone just opens the file and works as needed. Everything works fine; we have no problems with users changing or doing more than they are supposed to. Therefore, I don’t want to break anything by complicating matters…it works and we’re happy with it. The only annoyance is that during these couple months, someone has to make occasional changes to the database in design mode. Of course, we need everyone else out of the database so he can have exclusive access. This entails calling and/or running around asking those people to close the file and sometimes physically checking computers left unattended with the file open. So my question is: Is there any way to find out what users or workstations have the file open? This would make it so much simpler. All the users are on a Windows Server 2003 network and the files reside on a server. Perhaps this is more of a Windows question; I couldn’t think where else to post it! If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
I have created a database to track leave requests for staff. After upgrading from XP to Win7 and upgrading to Access 2010, some workstations will not run the ACCDE front end, but the ACCDB runs fine.
I am storing the front end ACCDE in C:Users\%username%appdataRoaming which is trusted - and I do not receive a warning for this. When the ACCDE loads I receive the message that "The database cannot be opened because the VBA project contained in it cannot be read.". I have tried running the application with different users to eliminate privilege issues. All the workstations are built from the same image and I cannot find any missing references or different patches. The workstations in question are running RUNTIME version.
I have checked for missing references in the dev version. I have compiled the database right before creating the ACCDE, finally I have run the app with the -DECOMPILE option.
Does anyone have a sample training tracking system / database they'd be willing to share?
Or, barring that, can someone point me in the direction of where I might find one?
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to it!

Bee replied once, suggesting I look in the Samples Databases section of this forum, but I could not find anything even remotely related there.
All replies are gretly appreciated!!
I have a DB I'm using to track training for assigned people. Right now the training gets put in the DB at the end of the day by going through each persons record and adding the training that they did for the day. As you can see when training 30+ people a day, putting this in the system can take awhile. I'm trying to find a way to do a mass input to cut down time and could use some help with this.
My tbls are as such,
1st Table:EMPLOYEEtbl
EmployeeID
EmployeeName
(Other information)
2nd Table:CLASStbl
className
classID
3rd Table:CompleteClasstbl
EmployeeID
classID
DateTaken
What I like to do at the end of the is select the ClassID/DateTaken items once and then type in a just the 30+ list of employeeID's click a button and append it to the my 3rd table. Of course writing it out like this makes me think it should be easy but for some reason I'm lost. Does anybody have any suggestions?
I need help finding an existing or making a db. This db does not have much to it, so I am getting frustrated finding/making one.
My company has equipment that is stored in one of three places, customers, trucks of employees, and other(like warehouse, or out for repair). The db should be able to give me a report of where everything is on a given day, and a report of what was in a given customers property during the job(this is not for a single day, but for the duration of the job).
If someone knows of an existing db like this, I would appreciate a link. If you want to help, it is appreciated. At this point I would not mind paying someone to do this for me, as long as it wont cost too much.
Is there any way in access 2003 or 07 to track when a database was last synchronized with any one of it's replicas?
It would be useful to know and be able to store this in a table.
Hi,I'm looking for a bug/issue tracking solution done entirely in MS Access. Does such a thing exist?My requirements are that it must need only Access, and be accessible in a shared environment solely by opening a .mdb file from a shared folder. It must support various issue lifecycle related things, and the stuff those tracking systems do in general.It may or may not be commercial software.If anyone knows of such an available solution, please let me know.(And yes, I've searched on Google, and haven't found anything worthwile, so that's why I'm asking here now.)thx
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a DB thats working fine, but (there always is a but) I now need to do something a little bit different. I need to be able to track my originators and who they have brought into the company. So I will have an originator and many down-line originators, and these people that come in down-line will have people coming in down-line from them and so forth and so on. I have a table that has all originator info and originatorID, but will I need another table or can I just add to the exisisting one. Here is the table structure:
Originators:
-------------
OriginatorID -autoNumber
FirstName - Text
LastName- Text
OrigSSN- Text
Address- Text
City- Text
State- Text
PostalCode- Text
HomePhone- Text
WorkPhone- Text
CellPhone- Text
FaxPhone- Text
EmailName- Text
BirthDate- Date/time
Level- Text
If more info is needed please let me Know.. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to track changes made by different users to access tables? For instance if several users update or change data in various records is there a way to track when and what was changed (before and after data)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have read all of the audit trail stuff and searched on my subject but I think my solution could be simpler,
All I want to do is copy the values of the current record on my form into a history table with all the same fields.
Example Form:
[ID], [Machine], [Task], [Task Due], [Task Complete]
I want to put a button on the form that reads complete task and when the user pushes the button it copies all of the details for that specific record they are looking at into my History Table that contains all of the same fields.
This will give me basic history on when each task was completed for a machine and I can access for reporting
I consider myself an intermediate ACCESS user and can get around it with little trouble with the help of the internet and the help file.
I am trying to design a database that is fairly simple in design, it is for tracking the status of documents at our work center. Basically we have personnel reports that are passed around the different people and different dates.
I have a main form that has the info on the person along with dates that it is due.
Then a sub form that has the date sent and where it went to.
My problem lies in that I want to keep track of the whole history of the document but when i print out a report or export the data to excel to put up in powerpoint I need to have just the most recent date sent only item.
I have 2 tables one with user info and another with the routing info with its own primary key along with a identifier key to link the primary and sub form.
Of course it is easy to create a report with the data to show all the different routing steps but not just the one with the most recent date.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I would like a field on my main switchboard that displays the last time the database was modified.
Simple question, and I can not find an answer anywhere.
Thanks!
I'm trying to set up a database to track a huge group of corporations. There is the parent company, then a bunch of subsidiaries below it. Some subsidiaries have another layer of multiple subsidiaries below it, some have none. Any thoughts as to how to do it???
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am tracking training for employees. I have a database that keeps track of the dates a particular training was taken. Employee training is ongoing from year to year. I have an Employee Training with a subform showing only the specific employee's training. I need a help with a few things. I need to keep track of training by the year. If I enter 2006 dates it will show in one line, if 2007 dates, another, all the way across the list of training classes for an employee. I also only want to limit a person enter more than one date for a particular class for a calendar year...Are these things possible. I have attached the database. Please help, make changes and suggestions. Thank you so much in advance.:eek:
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I’m new here so don’t shoot me if I’m asking something that is inappropriate. I’m looking to make a DB for paper file tracking simular as you would expect in a law firm.
I don’t want to reinvent the wheel so I’m asking if someone has built something like this before. I’m also looking at barcode ID which I have no experience with at all.
Is there someone out there that can put me on the right path?
Cheers,

Hi team.
I've had a bit of a search around the forums and haven't found this anywhere.

My computer crashed and I lost my employee vacation tracking database.
Does anyone have an Excel spreadsheet or other tracking method they could share please? I really don't have time to build a new database.
Thank you for your help.
Would like to hear from anyone that has designed a database that can be used to track employee compensation on a year to year basis. I am current designing a database to do just that but I'm having a hard time deciding on how to setup the tables. What they use this for is yearly reviews so I need it to be able to pull data from prior years and the current year. I've designed one but don't think its going to work for me. Just interested to see if and how someone has done the same thing.
Thanks,
Chester
Hi,
How do I track whether the current record is the first record, last record or new records status? I need it to disable some command button in the form.
Appreciate your enlightenment !!
I am trying to deconstruct a database that has several linked tables. Is there a way to find the source database for the linked table from within the original database?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am trying to figure out how to setup my tables. The tracking system i am trying to create will have these information:
the Tables will contain these information
- Package number
- Received date
- Sent date
- How long have we had the package
- Status (Sent or Pending)
I will also need to figure out who received and sent the package
- Employee name
Please advise if I setup the tables correctly.
I will also need to query these info:
- all packages received 3 days ago
- how many packages an employee received and sent
- How many sent or pending
Thank you for your help.
Hello fellow developers.
I need a query to help me track share of cost for clients. Anyone have any ideas? This is what I am working with. sorry it didn't paste very well. My problem is that my query keeps subtracking the share of cost and I want it to stop subtracking the share of cost once the share of cost has been met. HOpe that makes sense. Thanks in advance for your help in this matter. Angelflower.

I'm undecided in what I should to to track what an employee does for the day. Currently employees have a 5X7 index card which is printed out fields and they fill it in by hand and turn it in.
Instead of the employees doing this I want to record all of this information in the database.
These are the fields that I will include:
EmployeeName, Book, WorkType, WorkEffort, StartPage, EndPage, StartTime, EndTime, TotalPgsWorked, Comments.
Should I bound all of these fields to the tblWorkLog or should a create unbound fields and create an append query which will add these fields to the table.
I don't want the users to enter their own start time and end time as they might not record it accurately.
Should the time be recorded this way: Have the user open the form, when the form opens that will record the start time. Have the user have the form remained open until the end of the day or when he or she finishes through out the day. When the form is closed that will record the end time.
What is an alternative of doing that though? Have the user open the form record all the info and have the startime recorded. Exit out of the database, when they finish their work, open the database go back to that record and record the end time?
My problem here would be there is no uniqe ID. The user can work on a Book for a week, and can also work on multiple books on the same day. How would they know which record to open.
I'm uncertain how to lay this out and begin it any insight will be greatly appreciated.
