Record Locking Error
Feb 14, 2006
:confused: I created a data base in which 4 users enter information using a form. I have no record locking applied. When 2 or more of the users enter the form at the same time but have not entered any information they get a record lock error when one of them tries to enter data. The company wants to open this up to more people so I need to stop this from happening. Any ideas? I'm using access 2003 and windows xp.
Is there a way to assign a new record upon opening the form rather than waiting for data to be entered? I think this would be my last resort because it could create alot of blank records. All help is appreciated.
Thanks
John:confused:

Hi All:
I have a form that at certain times, requeries tables to update pricing. My problem, I have now found, is if users access this form at the same time (even if they are accessing different records) the second user will get error message 3009: "You tried to lock table while opening it, but the table cannot be locked because it is currently in use. Wait a moment..." when requery code runs.
Does anyone have any recommendation on how to handle this? Anyway around this? I am at the end of a very long creation process and hope I don't have to reinvent the wheel. I'll hold my breath! Thanks!
ps I have record-level locking set as well as edited-record record locking

Hey peeps,
Hoping you can help me out with a problem I have... Basically every now and again I get a call from my client saying they cant add a new record, to any table, they get a message saying they are not allowed. I go in and it seems the DB has somehow locked itself and I have to open it up and repair it... it is a multi user setup with the database on a server.... I have seen the users actually end task on Word if it doesnt respond quick enough and was wondering if this would cause the locking problem!? I am just asking to see if there is a setting or something I can do to try and prevent this happening!?
Any help at all much appreciated!!
Thanks
Matt

What is "row level locking"?
How can I get around the "encrypting with a block cipher is incompatible with row level locking" error.
I've never had this error before and I do not know what I did to cause it.

is it possible once a record has been entered, to lock it so that it can not be changed by just anyone but that the administrator could change it using a password?

Had a good look at previous posts but couldn't find exactly what I am after.
Having entered a record I don't want users to go back and edit/amend the input. I can see how to lock and unlock records but controlling this wilt say a checkbox also means any user can 'uncheck' and edit. Is there a method to restrict who can unlock ('uncheck') and edit a record, other than using Access Security permissions.
Thanks

I can't do nothing in my database because it keeps saying users have it open. There is nobody in the database though. I open up the file and saw two admins names and I deleted them both because we out of the database. The database is on a network drive and when I try to do any updates I get the message "Can't save changes or make changes because the database is open"
I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE, Help me Jesus, Help Me Oprah, Help Me Tom Cruise!

Hi everyone.
This is my first post and I am really hoping someone will be able to help me.
I have created a database for a friend and multiple users will be using it. I would like to know if anyone is able to assist me in being able to lock a specific record when a particula option on a combo box is selected.
For example:
I have a combo box with several status'. Open, Pending and Closed.
Once the status is changed to closed, can that record be locked to unable ant further editing?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Hi all,
I have created a form using Access 2003 which users have to enter data into.
What I want is a button on the form which will display "lock record". When the user clicks this it will lock the record so that another user can’t accidentally change the field values. If they do want to change the field values the will have to press another button displaying “unlock form”
Is this possible and how?
Cheers

Hi all,
I have a split database, with identical front end databases that have tables linked to the back end database. All forms are all located in the client databases.
Both databases are set to "no locks" (I believe this is referred to as "optimistic" record locking?) and are set to "shared" open mode.
However 2 seperate users cannot open the main form, even when opening different records - it comes up with the record locking error message.
Question - The form they open is filtered to show only one record (as selected on opening the form) - will this lock the whole table or just the one record it is looking at?
I'm not sure I've explained myself brilliantly here - I'm not up on all the lingo! If you don't understand please say & I'll try to explain better.

I've created a database and split it so that the data tables are held separately. Everything works fine apart from when 2 users simultaneosly try to create a new record on the same table. I'm guessing this is a record locking issue but can't work out what I should be amending.

Hi,
I have a question.
Does anybody know about "MS Access Record-Locking Information"?
And, the file extension is .xxx
Only one person can open the file.
Does anybody explain to me and teach me how to make/solve it?
Or, offer the link about it to me?
I want to know that.
Thanks a lot.

In OPTIONS -> Advanced I have the option Open Database using Record-Level locking ticked.
What is strange is record level locking works on Form1 (Form1.recordlocks= Edited) as long as Form2 has Form2.recordlocks = No Locks. If I change the Form2.recordlocks = Edited, Form1's locking becomes page level locking.
This is even true if Form2 is not open...
Additionally, Form2's locking is always page level locking if Form2.recordlock = edited.
I would like all my forms to perform RECORD level locking not page Level locking. How do I accomplish this.
I've been trying to resolve this issue for about 2 months now but no answers from the community.
Thanks for any comments.

Ok, here's the deal. I'm tired of fixing our gigantic table because of corrupt records in my firm's database. I find that the problem ordinarily comes up when someone opens the same record in two different forms (whether on the same computer or on a different machine) and both attempt to make changes. Is there a way (preferably simple) to just LOCK a record in a particular table to keep this from happening? I assume there has to be, but I've just never taken the time to find out. I'm not sure if this locking is done on the form level or somewhere in a table option or something.

Hi,
I am opening a form, from another form, that is based on a table of 20000 records.
I am using the WHERE criteria to do this, code is included below. I need to provide database access to several users on a network (and only want to lock the record that the user has searched for), and was wondering if this mode of data access will lload and or lock all 20 000 records on the users sytem, or if it will just load and lock the specific record that has been opened using the WHERE condition to open the form...
Advice appreciated.
Regards
Mack

On my form is an option button called "optClosed". When the option button is selected, I want to lock the current record so that data cannot be changed. Is this possible?

hi,
I've got a database that is split -front/back on a server. It is used by roughly 5 people. Usually one or two people use it at one time, with one of the users who leaves the application open at all times. Sometimes when the users are working in the screen, which would be in the subform, an error like "record is locked" pops up and they cannot enter any data. This happens on a date field where I have put some code to auto fill the date if the previous record has today's date in it. It doesn't seem like it should be locking on that. Should it? This is what I have in the code:
Code:Option Compare DatabasePublic DateValue As DatePublic DatePresent As BooleanPrivate Sub DateLog_AfterUpdate() 'fill the date with previous entry - if it has been entered in same session DateValue = Me.DateLog.Value DatePresent = True End SubPrivate Sub DateLog_GotFocus() If (DatePresent) Then Me.DateLog.Value = DateValue End IfEnd SubPrivate Sub Form_Load()Me.RequeryDatePresent = FalseEnd Sub

I would like to clarify the concept of record-level locking Say I have a TBLA which consists of two fields TBLA_FLD1 & TBLA_FLD2...TBLB which consists of three fields TBLB_FLD1 & TBLB_FLD2 & TBLB_FLD3
Now two users have declared the usage of the database as shared and pessimistic...I have generated a query in addition to TBLA & TBLB which is QryCombined which basically just a join of the two and consists of all five fields...If user1 has brought in a record query from QryCombined and edits on TBLA_FLD1 & TBLB_FLD3...At the same time user2 is trying to bring in as well QryCombined but with TBLA_FLD2 & TBLB_FLD1 and trying to edit both, will user2 be blocked by user1 who's editing the other fields
For all I know, the locking is based on record-level locking so I would suppose one record of QryCombined will comprise of all five fields so editing in any of them should actually block another user from editing. However I am not sure whether it is just a subset of the record that is the contesting area because user1 recordset has only two fields out of five, which do not happen to intercept the other fields that user2 is working on.

How can I remove a Recording-Locking file without re-booting the computer? I've tried cut and copy and paste, with no results. No one is using the mdb file, but it has a record locking file associated with it.

How can i apply the following code to the immediate record in my subform. I would like when the assigned check box value = true, then the fields for that record become locked.
Ive written the following code to an onclick event for a check box labeled "assigned" on my form, the problem is it executes on all the records in my form.
Q. How do i apply the code to only the immediate record?
Private Sub Assigned_Click()
If Me.Assigned.Value = True Then
Me.Serial_Number.Enabled = False
Me.Component_Group_ID.Enabled = False
Me.TypeID.Enabled = False
Me.Description.Enabled = False
Me.Status.Enabled = False
Else
Me.Serial_Number.Enabled = True
Me.Component_Group_ID.Enabled = True
Me.TypeID.Enabled = True
Me.Description.Enabled = True
Me.Status.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub

Simple question
Why do I have 2 Office Record locking, with different names. One is called Secured (which is ok), but the second one is called the same name of the Database. My database is running real slow. I have compacted and repair, but still running slow. I thought it might be the network, but when I open my old backups they run normal.
Any ideas?

Hello Everyone,
I have an access file (a Form) that I put in the network and it's accessable thru a web site inside our company(intranet). I setup the database to be on shared mode so everyone can access it at the same time. The problem I'm having is that when someone open the file, access creates another file called "Microsoft Access Record-Locking Information" which still active even after users close the form and their web browser and this doesn't allow me to edit the file if I need to make changes. Is there a way to deactivate this record-locking file? The only way I found out to be able to access the file after someone used it, is having the user go into their Task Manager and delete MSACCESS.EXE from the Processes tab. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

I have inherited a number of 2007 Access databases that have a PDF (Adobe Acrobat Document) as the file type for the locking record.
These databases seem significantly slower, and have more frequent "Not Responding" periods on the network - especially when compared to those with a standard ldb file type locking record.
What determines the file type for a locking record?
Can the Adobe locking record be changed to a ldb? and How?

My database has been set with the 'All records' locking option set to prevent two or more people editing files at once. This is working fine but I wondered if there is a way to make a more personal message appear instead of the default Access one, just to maintain a uniform look.

All,
Bottom line I'm in bit of a pickle, work has moved forward the migration of Office97/NT4 to Office2003/XP by 2 months (clever lot) and was hoping not have to cram for this question until at least 3-5 weeks.
I'm looking for pointers/suggestions because I now have to test in Access2003 Runtime on MONDAY!!!!
What it is, is:
I have a query which is a list of items that need to be worked out of 65,000.
Of that 65,000, 20,000 end up in the query (Actually do need looking at after an Automated process)
(it's adapting the query/process I think I need)
Query:
EntID - UniqueID for a household
Applicant1 - Number lookup value for Applicant 1
Applicant2 - Number lookup value for Applicant 2
Qualifies - 1 = Yes, 2 = No, Null = Not worked.
That's basic building block of the Query which is Drives the main Form.
What I would like is a scenario similar to this:
Person A opens record 1
Person B opens record 2
Person C opens record 3
Person C finishes record 3
Person B finishes record 2
Person C opens record 4
Person B opens record 5 (he/she took a little break)
Now that's the way I would like it to work, but there will be other factors and this is where I'm all ears for anyone who is used to this type of system.
The problem I can't figure out is that the Main Form has several subforms, but none of the data is to be edited, it is there for visual purposes only.
The users will be creating records via the Main Form through code, but not directly into any tables/queries with which I can use conventional record locking, that I can see.
My thoughts are that Person A calls up a record based on Min EntID and somehow locks it so the Person B looks for Min EntID Where not locked.
--------------------------------------------------
Question Time:
Please, please can someone point me in the direction of how to do it and more importantly the correct order of events?
I have tried doing the Min EntID and locking the record, but while Person A is running the Min Query, Person B is running it also so they end up with the same record as B has the record on screen while A is locking it.
Also,
In the real world Person B might open record 2 and think, nah I can't be bothered.
I would like a proffessional opnion on whether C opens record 2 or should B be made to deal with it.
I think not given the huge time constrants landed square on my lap, I would get there with smaller questions, but I've spent the last 10hrs writing a Function, to get it ready for the testing lab, where the owner has changed the requirements 7 times and my head isn't working.
All or some help given will be GREATLY received.
Any further information needed, just ask.
Hope you can help.
Cheers,
Ian Mac
