Form Not Allowing Me To Add New Records
May 17, 2006I have a form based on a select query (query does calculations as well). The query pulls from 2 linked tables, and it's not allowing me to add new records. On the form properties, I have "allow additions, allow deletions, allow edits, and data entry" set to yes. I've tried adding code to go to a new record when the form opens and this doesn't work, either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Adding A New Record, But Not Allowing Old Records To Be Edited
May 6, 2005I have a problem that should have an easy solution. But I can't find it.
I need to have a user add a new record. (Created a form with the fields on it, No problem , so far.)
The problem is when the user is adding a new record if they hit the PAGE DOWN Key or the mouse scroll, they then go to a new NEW record. (And if they are not paying attention they now have two new records)
How do I prevent this.
Thanks

Jan 30, 2008HI,
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
Check Box Allowing User To Choose Records To Update
Mar 8, 2005I need to have a query-based form open and allow users to check off (or otherwise indicate) which records they want to update.
I tried having a check box on a continuous form, but when you check one, you check them all. I did a search on this, and saw that if you make the check-box bound, then that will work. But I don't know what to bind it to. I don't want to add another field to an already large and complex table, and I don't know where to put it if not in main table.
Restrict User Access To Specific Records
Oct 12, 2005I have a staff database in my office which holds, amongst other things a list of staff holiday taken. Presently the staff have no access to view holidays because they will also be able to view other employees details. What I need to do is enable members of staff to see their own holiday, but no others and Im really not sure how to go about it.
I have a workgroup in place; so each user has their own login/password.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Adam.
How: VBA, Filter Specific Records, And Access Information
Sep 4, 2006First time member, Hello.
And sadly i am saying hello with a problem. I am a relatively new user, and i have a amateur(i think) problem.
Doing a booking system, and working in VBA
I want to check if certain records exist by date.
My "bookings" table has 'roomname' and 'date' and 'timeslot' as fields.
My query is:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM bookings WHERE (((bookings.room)=" & roomName & ") AND ((bookings.date)=#" & dateStr & "#));"
I need to get all those records, and be able do certain checks on them, but I dont know how to execute that in VBA, so i check the records to see which time slots have been booked.
In pseudocode:
If(bookings.date == #xxx# AND bookings.timeslot == xx)
then 'some sort of action'
In short how do i filter specific records using my query and how do i access record information directly in VBA? research suggests recordsets, but not sure how to implement that
Thanks in advance

URGENT: Protecting Access Databases Online
Sep 20, 2006Hi All,
What's the best way to go about protecting an MS Access database online? Hoping to launch tomorrow, but no can do without protecting the DB first
Basically, I have a database containing some personal information and I need to block people from downloading it, while still allowing my ASP pages to read/write/modify its data.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Any relative links, methods, tutorials, etc, would be a fantastic.
I've looked into User-Level Security Passwords, but am not sure if there's a better way to achieve what i'm trying to do (i.e. setting up specific access rights to the folder in which the MDB file is contained).
Thanks in advance...

Not Allowing Multiple Users Unless File Opened Through Access
Jul 9, 2013I have a database with three users, only one of whom has editing privileges. As such, I didn't see the need to setup a front end and back end (nor did I know how at the time). Anyway, that's not the issue. The database is saved on a networked computer that all users can access. Unfortunately, when accessing the database in the shared network folder, only the first user can access it. Other users will double click the file and virtually nothing happens.
However, users can instead open Access first, and open the file through the program fine. Why this would be the case and how I can have multiple users open the file from the shared folder?
Forms :: Include Check Boxes In Interactive Access Form Allowing To Choose Output Field
Jun 27, 2013Including check boxes (representing the query fields) in an interactive access form, in order to decide which fields should be visible.
I think the solution is building an invent in VBA for each check box, however I'm not an expert in Access VBA and don't know how to write the code.
In the example that I've uploaded, in the Form1, when I run the query, all fields are displayed, i.e. VENDOR, REGION, CUSTOMER and MATERIAL are displayed. How can I manage it in the form with a listbox to display only the REGION or MATERIAL for instance.
Modules & VBA :: Possible To Export Select Records And Fields In Those Records To A Specific Location?
Jun 15, 2013In an Access 2010 form is it possible to export select records and fields in those records to a specific location?
Code:

With objDialog
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Title = "Please select a File"
.InitialFilename = "C:"
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox ("Action Cancelled")
Else
[code]....
The user can select the directory using the code above, but can specific fields in records be exported to a excel workbook in that selected directory?For example, if the are 5 records in the database can the fields LastName,FirstName,BirthDate in records 1,2,3 be exported to Setup.xlsx in that selected directory?

Only Opening Specific Records
Sep 28, 2004I have the following code in the click event of my button,
Code:Dim strCriteria As StringstrCriteria = "[1stApproval]='-1'"DoCmd.OpenForm "FrmLookupRecords", acNormal, , strCriteria
However when I click the button, there was an error that says,
Quote: The OpenForm action was cancelled. You used a method of the DoCmd object to carry out an action in Visual Basic, but then clicked Cancel in a dialog box. For example, you used the Close method to close a changed form, then clicked Cancel in the dialog box that asks if you want to save the changes you made to the form
What does this error mean? I want to open a form that only shows approved records and the column "1stApproval" is a Yes/No field. Thanks for any help!

Select Specific Records In Forms- Help!
Nov 3, 2005Hello,
I'm sure this has a simple solution, but iv searched this forum and every solution that i get is filled with code that goes over my head! Well here goes...
I have a main form called expense... which contains a tab control. the tabcontrol in turn has three pages containing a subform each. (lets call them sbfrm1 sbfrm2 and sbrm3.)
All three subforms are based on three different queries (say Qry1 Qry2 and Qry3) but the three queries are based on the same table. this table contains all the expenses incurred over the months across three categories (hence three queries). the subforms are to display these expenses according to categories.. i.e. sbfrm1 displays records pertaining to Category1, sbfrm2 for category2 etc.(the queries ensure that!)
when the main form opens, the subforms display all the records in the table according to category...but not according to the month in which the expenditure was incurred.
I now want to add a feature that enables the user to choose records pertaining to a given month at the click of a button.
for eg. if there is an option group named month, (with toggle buttons as the month names), then if the user selects the month Aug, then immediately the subform1 displays records under category1 for the month Aug? However I want to include an "ALL" option as well whereby all the records are displayed for all months (the category criteria must be maintained at any cost!!!!
Is there a solution that will not use too much code!
Thanks in advance.
Tables :: How To Add Data To Specific Records
May 6, 2014i have a table
ID - File Type - Source - Delivery - Return
1 - X - LB - ROY - LB via Roy
2 - Y - USA - Smith - USA via Smith
3 - Z - LB - -
my question is how can i make the last column (Return) to fill like the data above..what i mean if (Delivery) not null So the return will be filled like the above if the (Delivery) is null the return will be null too
-the user will fill only the columns (File Type - Source - Delivery)
-the column (Return) will be filled automatically if (Delivery) not null
Queries :: Counting Specific Records
Feb 27, 2014I am working on a Human Resources database for a big project that has a field called 'Position Number' (eg. 290) which is unique for each position. But the position can have up to 4 different stages over the life of the project which is shown in the primary key field 'Position ID' (eg. 290-A, 290-B, 290-C). There are columns for each month of the life of the project and If the Start Date and End Date of the position are in between these months then a number one will appear in the Month column.
For example, position 290 will start at level A (290-A) and will start on Jan-14 and finish on Aug14. The next stage of the project will start and position 290 will do the same role in a different area of the project (290-B) and will start on Nov-14 until May-15. Therefore the 48 columns with months as headings from Jan-14 to Dec-17 will show a number one in those months from Jan-14 to Aug-14 and Nov-14 to May-15.
There are over 150 position numbers with up to 4 different position ID's which is phased throughout the 4 years of the project. I need to do a count of how many "number ones" are in the monthly columns per Position.
Protecting A Table.
Apr 28, 2005Hello 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
Protecting A Table
Jan 10, 2007Hi 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

Protecting Database
Feb 2, 2008Hi,
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!
