I have created a db and would like to apply the format of the attached zip file
I cannot seem to work out how it was done cutting and pasting the code is not working either if someone could take a look and give me a simple method of creating the desired solution i would be very greatful
The button to access the password will be called DCC Log In.
This will then allow the Command Button DCC to be Clicked (Previously Hidden as in the example)
This opens the DCC Form (already achieved by =openForms("DCC")
I have made up an Access database form for our Sickness Administrators to fill in when someone is off ill. I want the form to only show (on the drop down list of names) the people that that particular SA deals with - for example, Jill would enter sickness records for the Democratic, Legal & Personnel section. I am not sure how to go about this:
a) if I have one table with all of the employees names on it, is there a way of restricting Jill from seeing any names other than the ones that she deals with?
b) if I have separate tables for each section, would that be easier? and if so, do I just make a "switchboard" for them to click on the appropriate list?
I have a Reporting Dashboard form that inturn has many buttons to open up different reports and forms.
Now I have been asked to extend the access to a few other users with restricted access. The new users cannot see all the form and report buttons in the Reporting dashboard form.
How can i restrict this? They also need to be given separate logins and passwords. How I can accomplish this?
Basically i have a single database with several tables in it. I want certain tables such as Ireland, UK, US etc to only be accessable by employees from those countries. Is this possible and if so, how?
I have looked at user/group permissions but can't figure out how to assign passwords to users etc.
If i split my Data base into a front and back end how would i restrict certain users only to input data on certain forms. Also how would i prevent them from accessing certain information.
I've created a database in access 2003 with the default file format being Access 2000. Everything works fine on my computer and many others, all of whom are running different versions of access (2000, 2002 & 2003).
I have not had any problems with this database until recently and in the last few weeks we have had 2 users, both of them being Access 2000 users who have had the same problem.
The problem they are having is that when they click on any of the switchboard items, the buttons depress an then come back up again when the cursor is moved away, but nothing else happens - no action, no error message - nothing!!! Its the same for all of the buttons on the switchboard.
Does anyone know what is causing this? I have another computer with Access 2000 on it and this works fine, as it does on several other computers runiing Access 2000, I just cannot understand why it is not working on these 2 particular machine.......
I just wanted to ask whether it is possible to restrict records/rows in a table that has the same values (same date to be exact).
For example, I have an order form and wanted to restrict to only 20 orders per day (could be of any date; not restricted to the current date only). Therefore, if more than that, a message box will appear and no more record will be allowed to be saved.
Hey guys- New here, and fairly new to Access as well (although I can stumble my way around). I am building a database in which I have to import the data on a daily basis (there won't be much, if any, data entry- just manipulating/Queries of the imported data). One of the fields I am importing is a 'category' type field. There's no way to restrict the data entry aspect of it before I import it into my DB- so I have to work with what I got.
The users type in the categories themselves- many all match the same name/spellings, some do not. So I assume I'm going to have a Category table with all the acceptable categories already entered into it. What I need is some way for the ones that don't fit the acceptable Category names to be flagged- once flagged I need to be prompted for each record if I want to ADD the category to the Category Table, or, if I want to match it to an existing category in the category table. If I choose to match it to an existing category, it will always keep that new category name so that queries and whatnot are consistent.
An Example- The acceptable Category name might be 'Fruits'. Upon importing the file- there might be entries that match that exactly, or- some might be entered as-
The Fruits Fruits II The Fruity Ones
If these three were to be in the import file- I want to be prompted to change the field entry to 'Fruits' or create a new category name, and associate that with the new name.
I'm working on a data-entry form and would like to restrict the data that I enter on certain fields to alphabetic characters only i.e. a -z, A - Z and Spaces.
Quick question - is it possible to put rollover buttons on Access forms? I have two images, one Button Up and one Button Over and would like to support the end-user in making choices.
What I have is a database that I am using for 3 different sites; NE, NCA, & SCA. What I want to do is have the form ONLY show information for the specific site that the Leader is a member of. I have a security table that contains the persons name, & site location. For example: John Smith works at the NE site; so when he goes to open a form to add/modify/delete members from his site I want him to only be able to see date for NE from the table. So in the listbox NCA & SCA would be filtered.
How can I go about doing this? The forms Record Source is set to the Security Table. Please help so I can do this without having to create a seperate form for each different location. :)
I want to restrict the number of times each person can open a database, but give them the option to force close the database on another PC, if they have left it with the database still open, prior to allowing them to have full access / functionality of the database on another PC.
In order to achieve this, I need advice on how to automatically record the computername as each person "logs in" to the database and secondly, send a command to close the database / Access on a PC with the stored computername.
In a table I have 3columns with the primary key of MemberID. Of the columns in question, one is StudentID and the other is StaffID. What i want to do is that if a use enters the information in MemberID, he will not be able to input in the field in StaffID and vice versa.
I am trying to set up a database to track truck maintenance, repair, and inspection records for a trucking company. Parts are ordered from vendors, and I have forms set up to facilitate the entry of the information regarding those orders. The problematic form is based on a query. In that query (this form and query deals with the purchase details - product, price, extended price), the product ID is gathered from the inventory transaction table, the product name and price are gathered from the product table (I did this so that price would enter automatically).
Of course, when I change the price, it is changed across all related orders, including those that have been saved previously. I know that the problem more than likely stems from having the info pulled from the products table. I'm just at a loss as to any other option to have the price automatically pulled.
I am new to Access and am currently learning it so that I can construct a database of trivia questions.
I have a "Questions" table with question, answer, type, etc. This table is linked to a "Categories" table with a many-to-many relationship using a junction table called "Questions_Categories". The "Categories" table is also linked to a "SubCategories" table with a Categories as the parent and SubCategories as the child. I have attached the database for ease of understanding.
When I enter data into the "Questions" table using datasheet view, I open up a subsheet that shows me the Category and SubCategory fields which have their own lookups.
My problem is the following: I want each category to have its own set of SubCategories. For example, the "Region-Specific" category has "Canada", "London", and "Ontario" as sub categories. However, the movies category should not have any sub categories. The problem is that when I choose Movies in the sub datasheet, the subcategory lookup still shows Canada London and Ontario when I don't want it to show anything. It doesn't make sense to have a Movies category with a London subcategory.
I have an access database that is used as a front-end application to a sql server 2000 database. Users have adequate permissions to access database and functionalities but a few are receiving the following error message:
Hello to all the Users! I am new at Access and new to programming. I have created an Access form that has four labeled control buttons each one with an individuals name. I have the corresponding code:
Private Sub Email_PersonOne_Click() DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , "personone@yahoo.com", , , "Work Request", "A new work request has been submitted." End Sub
When I have one button and one code the email function works. I want the users to be able to select one out of four people who they want to notify upon completion of the form. So I have four buttons and changed the email address and the names on the buttons but now none of the buttons work. The code is on the same page separated with just a line between each section.
Does this make sense? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and help. Sincerely, DebraF
I am making a database for some people I work with, I'm having trouble with making a button to work. I want a button to go to the next tab on the tab control, but still in the same record. I prefer not to use the vba, but if I need to use it
I did a search and found this thread, and the only problem i encounter is the min max buttons are gone though it was set up as both enable, how to show those buttons.
To the point: I have a column which is a combo box (list) consisting of all the departments of company. I don't want 4 of the departments to show up in my query results. In the criteria field I have tried to use the following:
// Note: I've even attempted to place those departments inside parenthesis. And use ; between the names.
Other criteria I have attempted to use without the results needed are:
1.) Not In
Note: some of the department's name consist of a single name; some are two names with a space between the two names. I have entered the names in the same letter case as they were created in the table's combo list.
