Preventing User From Restoring Form
Jul 11, 2006
Hi
Hoping someone can help me here. I have a form which is maximised on startup which also has the min/max and close button disabled. What i'd like to do is also prevent the user from restoring the form to ie. click the restore button which then makes the form smaller as i'd like the form to permanently remain maximised.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but if not is there a way to size the form to fit the height and width of the screen as if it was maximised regardless of the screen resolution the user is using.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any way of stopping people from seeing the tables that I have created and the relationships between said tables?
I want to restrict access so that users can only see the forms and access the reports that I've created but am not sure how to go about stopping people from seeing, never mind altering, the table names and structures. Can anyone help??

I'm in the process of rolling out a new database that will require some data entry from approximately 35 users.
I have been told that database corruption WILL (not might) occur if more than one user is in the database at a time, which I find hard to believe. I was told that if multiple users who have different permissions levels are in the DB at the same time, this will cause corruption.
Has anyone heard anything like this?
Also, there will only be one or two forms that my users will be using for data entry. The rest is report running. If I set the value Record Locks on the form to EDITED RECORD, will this prevent corruption?
Any input you could provide is very much appreciated. I haven't been able to find any info specific to this issue.

I'm sure there must be a simple answer to this question but I have been unable to locate the answer.
I recently finished a database program under Access 97 and unchecked the boxes to allow menus. Now I need to fix a few mistakes and need to access my code or the menus to do this. Is there a way to get access to my code.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Is there anyway possible to restore a database to a former state?
what happens is that I updated some information unknowingly, now I get into my database, and I cant find some data, which I suppose i updated probably the last time I worked on a the table.
Any clues on how to handle this?

I have a restore from BackUp form. When the form is activated it runs this code
Code:
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Dim strRestore As String
strRestore = "C:GungogManagerBackUp"
If Len(Dir(strRestore, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MsgBox ("There are no BackUp files available"), vbOKOnly
Me.btn_Restore.Enabled = False
[code]...
It was working, but since adding the bit in red its not working. I basicly want it to look for the directory and if it dosent find it the pop up with message, but if the dir does exist then to populate the combo.

In our forms, we have managed to export a backup of our application (to accdb file) in a specific folder.
We now are trying to make a backup restore function that restores the backup (the accdb file).
However, we have some difficulties with restoring this backup in a form (like browsing for this specific backup file).
How to make this restore function?

Hi all,
I've got a database with a members table and an events table and a participation table which is like an 'intermediary table' which just has fields for MemberID_fk and EventID_fk.
The form at the moment has a combo box for Members and a combo box for events. This works well but the problem with it is that there is no safeguards to prevent a member from joining the same event many time.
Ideally i'd like for the combo box of events to be updated once the member's been selected to only include events the member has not signed up for.
If anyone's got any suggestions i'd love to hear them. The only constraint i have is that this has to be prevented when it is entered in the form.
Cheers,
Joe

Hello again,
I have three questions this time 'round:
1. I'm in need of some way of preventing a user from opening form B unless he has entered information in form A.
Right now it is possible to open form B without entering data in form A (form A being the date/time info and form B being the case technical info) due to which a record is created for clientnr 0 (which should be a non existing client). Querying for clientnr 0 from time to time and deleting those records is easy enough, but who knows what kind of relevant data could be stored accidentally in a record that doesn't belong there.
This happens by the way, even though referential integrity is enforced throughout the dbase. Maybe I should say, because of that. I want to keep it that way of course to prevent orphans roaming around. But having orphans for clientnr. 0 is also not a good idea.
2. What is the wiser thing to do: keep all information concerning one case for one client (date/time info per case, techinfo per case, maybe even products sold info per case, payment info per case) in one table and have the data needed for each thing entered in seperate forms, or have all data split up into seperate tables like I have now. One for clients, one for dates and times, one for the technical info for that case etc.... ?
It is starting to seem a bit ehrm... useless to have all that data for one case floating around seperate tables. I don't know... it seems so much more complex (having to create multiple relations, multiple PK's per table etc.).
Where do I draw the line? For example the image attached (relationship2.jpg): now I have one PK in the table holding the clients (clientnr), two PK's in the table holding the case date/time info (clientnr and casenumberdatetimeinfo), three PK's in the table holding the techinfo (clientnr, casenumberdatetimeinfo and casetechinfonr). And what's next? Four PK's in the table holding the sold productsinfo? Five PK's in the table holding the invoice info? And what about the relations between those tables? Right now I can still comprehend.... but when I start thinking ahead, I'm starting to get dizzy. So some advice on this would really be highly appreciated.
3. Which build up of the relations between the tables in the dbase is better? The one in relationship.jpg or the one in relationship2.jpg?

I have validation logic that runs to test whether certain fields are inputted properly etc on my form. I call these methods in the Before_Update of each form. But How do i actually STOP the update from happening? OR how do i stop the form from being closed?
Right now, I just give all these warnings but the save still happens!

While I was trying to test one of my forms (which was NOT working and I had to totally redesign it), I somehow created a bunch of stores in my Store Information table...some with no names, some with the first letter of an existing store, and there was even a duplicate of the store which is creating a problem now because some products exist in Store 1A and others exist in Store 1B.
I've created a query to identify the wayward products and am changing those. I'll delete that store then.
My issue is...can I set it so that the ONLY place a new store can be created is in the Store Information Input form? That if someone makes a typo when entering products, it doesn't create a new store?

I'm using the following code to ask the user whether to save changes to the data, don't save changes or Cancel the close and continue editing. I'm closing the form using the 'X' only.
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim UserResp As Integer
UserResp = MsgBox("Record(s) have been added or changed." & vbCrLf & "Save the changes?", vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case UserResp
[Code] ....
The problem I'm having is when I press the 'Cancel' button in the message box. When I press 'Cancel' the form remains open (bPreventClose=True) which is what I want. But the changes to the data get undone even though I don't have Me.Undo in that case.
First, what's causing the undo?
Second, how do I prevent the data from undoing when I press 'Cancel.'
I went to add a record earlier and selected 'Cancel' because I wanted to change one small item. I lost all the data I had put in and had to start over.

I am new to Access and have made a database for a shuttle company that keeps track of their bookings. I need to prevent from the same booking being entered twice. I have a "Booking Form" that was made from a table "Master List". I was wondering if there was a way to compare three of the fields and if they match then a error would pop up.
I think if the "client's name", "booking date", and "pick up time" matched then a "booking already exists"... and also there are four different people can enter data and they have a log in form how can I get their "username" to be put into a field on the "Master List" automatically...

I have created an Access 2007 database that uses a form for data entry. While the data is stored on the table exactly as entered, the data entry form rounds up and only displays the whole number.
In the properties of that form field, I have the format as fixed, with decimal places as set to 1 and is visible. However, the number still rounds. What do I need to do differently to make the number display as entered on my data entry form?

I have Table for rooms called Rooms, and the data in the table is roomNumber which is in the format Letter and two Digit number, so A01 would be dorm building A and room building 1, and I then have a seperate row named roomType that is either VIP or Semi Private.
Now I am creating a form where a worker will put in there scheduledCheckin date and scheduledCheckout date and it will be written to the Bookings table. I would like this form however to take the dates they have put in, as well as room type (Semi-Private or VIP, and assign them an available room that isn't booked at all in that range) or list all available rooms for that range of time and they could then just select the room. I would rather it automatically assigns an available room based on room type though because this check in system is going to have about 500 rooms.
I've attached a link for what I have so far. I know how to make a query to list anyone who has booked rooms over that date, but need one for just preventing booking the same room.

Hi,
I have a form and within that form there is two combo boxes and one text box. When one choses a value from one combo box, and then chooses a value for the other combo box and then enters the value into the textbox I don't want the user to be able to enter the same arrangement. That is I want to prevent duplicates on that combination. Also if they do this I want a Message Box to appear saying that that this combination already exists
I was thinking of using a multiple field index to prevent the duplicates, but I don't know if this is a wise thing to do. Can someone give me some help to see how I can prevent duplicates or offer another solution to prevent duplicates on the combination of the values.
Thanks
Greg

Hi, How do you normally prevent duplicates being inputted into you forms.My Idea is thisThe input text box doubles up as a dropdownlist of current values held in the database for that field.So when you access the organisation form and go to the first text box as you enter the 'I' for IBM All the orgs with 'I' appear. When you see that the organisation your inputting already exists you will stop and move on to the next form.I dont know how to do this, so currently I have set the field OrgName as Indexed: Yes (No duplicates) but this isnt really any good as the user enters all the other details and clicks submit before the error message comes up.I have attached my file for you to understand this better.

Hi
I would like to prevent the first 24 rows in a table from being deleted by the user, after these 24 rows they can be deleted. Is there anyway of protecting them etc without putting them in a separate table?

I have developed a database in Access which has user permissions implemented. These are set so that only Full Data Users have permission to delete information.
However, it has come to my attention that users can get around this by creating a query and then deleting records displayed in its results. I can't understand why this is possible, because the permissions should prevent this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Gary

I have a table with a blank record at the begining and populated records thereafter. I used the cmd button wizard to create a delete button for that table. Is there a way to prevent the blank record (record 1) from being deleted by the command button but still allow all other records to be deleted?

Hi again, thanks to all for the help given so far.
Is there anyway (other than making that field a primary key) to prevent the same value being entered into a different record?
E.g.
If under 'Name' Radion has already been written, I want an error message coming up saying there is already a record with radion.

Hi all,
I am currently using this code in the before Update event of the Surname Textbox on a form. The first Textbox is FirstName.
The second one is Surname.
************************************************** **
If (Not IsNull(DLookup("[FirstName]", _
"Employee", "[FirstName] ='" _
& Me!FirstName & "'"))) And (Not IsNull(DLookup("[Surname]", _
"Employee", "[Surname] ='" _
& Me!Surname & "'"))) Then
MsgBox "Someone already exists with the same name! Please check for duplicates", vbCritical, "IPDMS"
Me.Undo
End If
************************************************** **
However once the user has entered the surname and tries to save the record the MsgBox is coming up.
Basically what is happening is the first name is coming up as the duplicate entry only.
I need to prevent the whole name (first name and surname together) from being duplicated.
Thanks if you can help me.

I have a form with fields being input to a table to create records in a query. The query is dispalyed in a ListBox.
People are forgetting to create a New Record, selecting an existing record in the List Box and overwriting it.
How can I prevent this?
Please, no code solutions - I don't understand those. Events and macros I can just about grasp.
Thanks
