How To Lock Records To Prevent User Editing?
Feb 6, 2008Good morning! I'm building a database for use by four technicians in a call-center type operation. The call records are purely transactional in nature -- once the call has been logged, the record is closed. If the customer calls again, a new record is opened.
The supervisor doesn't want the techs to be able to go back and edit a record once it's entered -- the records are for quality-control purposes and he doesn't want them gaming the system by going back and changing things after the initial call is logged (let's not discuss the issue of employee psychology, motivation, Office Space, etc.). So I'm trying to figure out how to do that; they all have wheel mice, and I can currently see all the records as I scroll back and forward with my mouse wheel, so I'm assuming they'll be able to, as well.
Any help?
Thanks,
Andreas
General :: Lock Archived Records To Prevent Editing?
Dec 12, 2012I want to lock archive records so that they can't be edited, however I want them available to users for viewing. So for example if the file is "closed" the record can not be changed.

Apr 7, 2008I have a form, that once prompted, finds a certain record for the user. How do I prevent the user from being able to see any other records but that one, once the form is opened? The user needs to be able to edit the particular record they opened, without viewing or editing any other records in the database. Is there a way to hide the bar at the bottom of the form that allows users to manipulate through the different records?
View 6 Replies View RelatedPrevent User From Skipping Records In Continuous Form During Data Entry
Nov 21, 2006I have a main form with several continuous subforms. Each subform consists of several listbox controls. I would like to require the user to select an item from the listbox before being allowed to move to the next record in the subform, and upon reaching the last record in that continuous subform, to require an entry there in order to move to the first record in the next cont. subform.
As an added bonus, it would be nice, though not necessary, to automatically jump the focus from one record to the next after data is entered. But my basic goal is to avoid skipping records.
Caveat: I cannot use the "required" option in the field to which the control is bound because that field has a default value previously entered using an append query. (The default value basically means "not yet entered" and is not one of the options in the listbox. I am using this because this field is a foreign key in the table, thus it must have a value in order to have a record with which to populate the subform.)
My apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but I've searched and, while I found a few related threads, they don't quite answer my question. Here they are for reference:

Thanks for any help! Also, if you are going to recommend VB code, could you be specific about how and where I should use it? I'm not afraid of code, but I'm definitely new to it...
Select Using Combo Box But Prevent Editing?
May 24, 2005Hi,
I am using the combo box in a form for selecting a report to be printed out. The source is a table with all the report names stored. I would like to prevent users from changing the data and yet they can can click on 1 single report they need. I cannot disable the allowedits in the combo box which will prevent the user from selecting. Is there a solution to this or should I use another method (if any). Thanks for any reply.
Another User Is Editing This Record
Oct 14, 2005Hi I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this problem. I have a new database going live in two weeks. My problem is that I keep getting a message telling me that someone else is editing the record.. which is an impossibility as it is a stand-alone copy on my hard-drive at home! How is this possible? Will this problem be solved once I have this database on the sql server and the tables has been upsized to sql? Also this database is to be used by up to 100 people is this going to be a problem?

Feb 13, 2015Twice a year, a database of mine is accessed and put too use by various staff within a time range of 1 week. the database is on a shared drive and in a location which can be accessed by all.
The staff access the database from different workstations and in some instances at the same time.
This has only led to issues in the database being copied and then confusing staff on what database to click on thus i have 2 databases which i then have to sift through and copy/paste into the correct one.
I want to know the best way i can:
1) Prevent multiple users accessing the database at a time.
2) making a copy of the original and typing into a separate database.

Editing Records With Forms
Oct 24, 2005Hi everybody,
I have a large problem which I can't figure out (well 2 actually but the other is less important):
1) I have a form which brings up the results of a search performed by the user (only contains some fields). From this list of results i would like the user to be able to a) see a full report of that Record (which I've done ok) and b) edit the data contained in that Record.
My results form opens the editing form no problems, however, i cannot edit any of the data contained within it. This only occurs when the results form is open as well so i guess it's because there are two instances of those fields open simultaneously. However, I am reluctant to close the results form because the results will be lost.
2) I've tried several methods to open the form at the desired record:
- using the WHERE condition argument of the OpenForm function
- creating a filter in the editing form that runs in the OnOpen event
These two require the creation of a variable (I'm using the Key field) that is inserted into these bits of code. However, all of my attempts thus far have been unsuccessful; every time it asks for the Parameter in a popup. I've defined the variable as a Public variable in a seperate module but don't really understand this aspect partcularly well; I'm obviously missing something.
- the form currently opens from it's own query that gets the Key Field Criteria form a hidden control on the results form.
Here is my code for the 'Edit' button:
Public stProjectID As String
'Results form 'Edit' button click:
Private Sub btnEdit_Click()
stProjectID = txtID2
[Forms]![frmResults].Visible = False
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmProjectEdit", acNormal
End Sub
'Edit' form open:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Filter = "ProjectID = stProjectID"
FilterOn = True
End Sub
Sorry for waffling on...
Thanks in advance for your help.

Editing Records In A Form
Oct 25, 2005I have a very simple form that is populating fields with records from a number of tables (not queries).
I have found that I cannot edit any of the records from the form. Almost all of these fields are NOT key fields. When I click in the field, it simply selects the text in the field, but does not allow me to alter it (typing does nothing...the cursor just blinks). The same thing happens for blank fields.
I know this is a simple question, but I can't find the answer in help or searching this forum. I know it must be a simple setting (I think) somewhere but I've tried a number of settings in properties/forms.
Thanks,
Kelly
Editing Multiple Records At Once...?
Jul 6, 2006Hey guys,
Does anyone have any ideas as to how you might go about editing multiple records at once? So maybe have a listbox with checkboxes, so you can select items in your DB, then, using a form, edit/set one field for all the selected items. Any ideas?
Lock A Table For Editing The Records
May 22, 2007Hello all,
I have a question, I'm building a MS ACCESS database and within it i have a table for putting in my program critical parameters. I don't want anyone to change the content of that table. That means not editing the 1 record in it and not adding a new record. Within the program is't a problem but if you make an other blanc database you can import the table, change it and export it back into the program (i know it is far looking but it happens).
How can i lock a table so it cannot change or it cannot be exported or imported???
Forms :: Editing Records Through A Form
Aug 13, 2014Just a general query about the best approach to take for an editing form.
I want to have two separate forms, one for adding a new record (have completed this) and one for choosing and then editing a selected record.
I have seen that people use combo boxes to display a list of records with fields. This seems quite difficult to use. Maybe that's the best way though?
How do you apply an edit button to a selected record in this type of situation? I suppose really I need a box that has a list of records with a little edit button next to each one, or can I do something that launches the edit form as soon as you click on a specific record?
Forms :: Subform For Editing And New Records?
Nov 1, 2013I've got a master form, which is used to search for records, and display links to them in a list box. When the user selects a record, they get the full details of the record on a subform. At the top of the subform, I have two buttons, an edit button, which allows them to make changes to the record, and a "new" button, which allows them to create a new record.
My problem is, after a new record is created, the subform adds a new page. So instead of having record one of 1, it shows record 2 of 2. So if a new record is saved, and the user tries to access another record, nothing appears because the subform stays on record 2 of 2(which is a blank undirtied record). If you press navigation button back it will show the record they selected.
Maybe I could make the new form a pop up form, and pass it parameters rather than making a new form within the subform.
I've tried putting the command DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrevious in the subforms Current() method, but I get an error saying I cannot go to the previous record.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHelp Me With Code For Adding And Editing Records Using Forms.
Jan 29, 2006Hi,
I have the following situation.
I have a switchboard form which has 2 buttons (Add And Edit)
I have a patient record form, which has 2 fields, (DateRecCaptured and DateRecUpdated)
Both buttons on the switchboard open the Patient Record form (one opens it in Add mode and the other in Edit mode)
This is what should happen.
If I click on the add button on the switchboard, the patient record form should open to allow me to add a record. The system date should then automatically be saved in the DateRecCaptured field.
If i click on the Edit button and edit a record, the system date should be saved in the DateRecUpdated field. If no updates are made, the field shouldn't be updated. If you scroll among records, the DateRecUpdated field shouldn't be updated. When editing, the DateRecCaptured field should remain unchanged.
Thanx
Forms :: Prevent Duplicate Values With Alert After User Enters Duplicate Value
Dec 30, 2013We are working on an Access (2007) database that is on a SharePoint Site (2007).
Currently the form is operational, but there is one last thing that would be nice to have.
The table is "Updated Headcount" which contains "EMP_ID" which are unique numbers stored as text.
In the event a new employee is entered in the system by another user on this site we would like to prevent any duplicate "EMPID"s from being entered and saved on the SharePoint, we would also like to alert the user and prevent the data from being saved.
All data is currently bound, so once the user makes a change it is made, no submit button is required.
We are running into some difficulties in doing a dlookup from the value entered and comparing to a column in the table.
TABLE - UPDATED HEADCOUNT
COLUMN in UPDATED HEADCOUNT - EMPID
FORM CELL user will input an EMPID - newEMPID
FORM CELL used for a dlookup to compare what user has entered to what is already in the table - duplicateEMPID
So below is what we are trying to do, we are sure there are a few commands missing....
=IIF(newEMPID=dlookup([UPDATED HEADCOUNT]![EMPID]), newEMPID, "Error, EMPID already exists")
Display Prevoius Selections In Listbox When Editing Records
Jun 12, 2006I have two unbound multi-select listboxes that saves selection to their respective table. It works just dandy. However, whenever I go back to the same record, the listbox is blank and apparently I have to instruct it to "retrieve" the previous selection from the table using the PK as criteria.This is far as I can get, though this code causes several errors and I'm not sure what I need to put in as an array for "For Each" statement. If anyone can guide me how to retrieve the old selection from the table and displaying on listbox, that would be great.If IsNull(DLookup("[ClientID]", "[tblClientAccommodations]", "[ClientID]=" & Me.ClientID)) = False Then Dim RecCount As Integer Dim Index As Variant RecCount = DCount("[ClientID]", "[tblClientAccommodations]", "[ClientID]=" & Me.ClientID) For Each Index In Me.lstReasAcc Me.lstReasAcc.Selected = (DLookup("CommunicationID", "[tblClientAccommodations]", "[ClientID]=" & Me.ClientID)) Next iThanks in advance.
