Hello SBAXTER and company,
I was reading a post from a while back titled "MS Acess Security Logins" posted by pi4Paul. You sent him a sample security database. Since I just joined ASP I am not able to send you a PM with my email. If you still have it, please send it to me, or if anyone else has something similar that I can refer to while building mine, that would be great! Thanks a bunch!
Could you please post me the VBAunbound.zip file so I can start getting to grips with unbound forms within Access. All the links in the forum seem to take me nowhere.

I want to automatically create interview slots. On a form I've got an interview set up and there is a one to many relationship with a table containing interview slots. I want the user to key in the start time of interviews and the end time and the duration of the interview. It should then create the records (time slots) and display them.
I assume it will be some kind of append query, but to be honest I just don't know where to start.
Please help. A cyber pint goes to the boffin that susses it.
Cheers,
Recall.
Here is an example of what I was talking about re: private message and storing calculated fields. Any help is much appreciated.
Also I received your email in regards to a sample secure database but I am getting a "Memory could not be read" error when I try to open it. Does this have anything to do with how it has been converted to 97 format or is it an error at my end? (I've been able to open other dbases from the forum).
Thanks,
Dearnne
PS Thanks also for your help with adding to option groups.
I have a brand new database in-the-works that is causing me headaches. For some reason, if I create a query and then exit and re-enter the database, I cannot re-open that query. I get an Error 3112 (cannot be read; no read permission on <name>) and to contact the administrator or creater of the database.
I'M the creator and the administrator on this thing - so why can't I get into the darn thing? I haven't added any security features. This has never happened before on any database I've created, so obviously, it's frustrating.
Any ideas?
Will like to check, i have a access database which can be open up by a few users.
How can i only allow the first user who open up the database to read and write the database and the follow users who open up the access have only read access?
I've just attempted to develop my first Access database which I've tested and seems to work well. I've copied it to use at another location but can only open in "read only", eliminating the ability to do further development or editing. How can I copy or open this database at another location?
Thanks,
EP
How can I provide "read only" access to a specific user?

Pretty new to all this Access stuff but have to know how to do it for work! Doh! So heres what im trying to do...
We have a database in work that we keep all our info on our clients, but it is very out of date and the questions do not correspond with the answers we recieve from clients now etc.
I've started making up a new database as we are unable to change/edit the old one as the person who made it, left no note of the password!
I've created a switchboard page to direct the people to the specific parts of the database (e.g. there is one set up with a query to find people on a waiting list and all they do is click that and it displays their details).
Im wanting to make up a bit that you can send them out a letter, like we have set up in work. What happens is we click the button to 'Send Appointment Letter' and it goes into another sub-switchboard sort of thing and we pick what kind of letter ie first appointment, second appointment etc.
What I need to know is, how to narrow the letter down to a specific date. ie, in work a dialouge box comes up asking me to put in the date the person has their appointment on and then it displays a Report (I think) in Access which is in the shape of a letter with all their details on it including name address appointment time, date and venue.
I want to know how I would first of all:
Create the Report?? if thats what it is for the letter
how to put their information into the letter?
how would i find i get the dialouge box to come up and ask me to input the date ?
Im really quiet unsure and would really appreciate some help!
Hopefully someone out there actually knows what I mean lol!
I've got plenty of more questions by the way. If you can email me your answers please at jamesy.higgins@ntlworld.com. If you would like me to send you a copy of the database to try and work out how to do it, dont hesitate to contact me. I will email it as it is too big to fit on this post (500kb) Doh!
Please, if anyone could help me that would be great. Just even if they try and do something to it and send it back to me?
Anything is worth a try:confused: .
Thank you !
So my problem is this,
when I wish to add users to my db through asp
I get an Eror message that says I can't update
because the db or object is defined as read-only
but when I checks it, it's not a read-only.
please help. T_T
this is important for my internet test at school.
I forgot to add that I looked at other threads
and I can't seem to understand..
I don't have a security tab in proporties
Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum, so MODS, do what you will.
I'll come out and admit it right now, I'm a newbie here and have just started using Access2003. I'm in a city government so I need other users to be able to view and access my database, BUT I don't want them to be able to edit or change things. I want to be the Owner/Administrator of the database and no one else. I want to be the only person that can make changes.
Is this possible in Access 2003? Can other users only open it in Read-Only format but when I open it, it's editable?
Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

There is an Access application somewhere in shared drive.
100 users open this application using a batch file which copies this database on their c: . They start using this database and the master database gets replicated real time. I am not sure if all the database are replicated as it is copied everyday ( so that each one of them has latest version of the application )
Is it possible ( I know it is :) ) but i am not able to figure out how it is happening.
Please help :confused:
Hi
I've networked my database and given a bunch of People Read only access. There is a button there that when pressed runs some queries. Basically I dont want READ ONLY users to be able to run any queries. I only want exclusive users to be able to get access
How can I prevent these queries being run.
Can read only users run an UPDATE query? According to my system this may be the case.
I dont want to change my system (i.e put the button on a separate form etc)
Help
Cheers

Hi,
Can someone help, does anyone know how I can read values from an excel file, basically I have an excel sheet that I'm doing some vba work and I need to go to the excel sheet which resides some where, read the table and apply the values in my current excel file. I hope that I didn't confuse you guys. Thanks a lot.
Hey, can someone help me out here,
I want to make my database so it is read-only for all other people who use it, besides me, as I'm the only one who really is making changes to it. Would there be a way to do this, perhaps in a multi-user environment?
Also does Access have a tool to automatically backup the database at regular intervals, such as the end of a day. I thought it had that feature but couldn't find it in help.

Hi all,
I have e-mailed a database and when it arrives at the other end it is read only. I sent it in a zip file.
Using MS access 2003, emailing through a corporates firewall.
Any help would be much appriciated.
Just upgraded to office 2003 now everytime the dbase opens I get a read only error. How do I make it stop?

Hi, I am trying to create a database from scratch, however I need multiple users to have access to it. I do this nearly everyday and have no issues on the LAN we use.
This week I have been struggling to create a database on a different LAN. I create the database however I get the message that it is read only when I close it and enter it again. This means that other people are also unable to open it at the same time, and when they managae, they only get read only access.
Could this be a strange unfamilar-to-me LAN set up? Or is there something fundamental that I am not doing when creating this database?
Thanks for any help

I believe I may have asked this question before but…
I have a FE/BE database. Is there a way to set the tables as “read only”? I’d like the FE to be read only, but allow users to see all the tables, not just forms etc. However, if they open the BE, they would have full control.
Thanks,

Is it possible to make Microsoft Access queries read only without making the entire database read-only?
Thanks for your help, Steve
i have a form, which consists of a tab control, in each page of the tab is a different subform. there is also a drop down list which allows users to select the record they want to view, i could lock the records yes, but i also want the same form to be available as a writeable from.
on my switchboard i have 2 buttons "read only form" and "Edit form"
my login system denies access to the edit form if users only have little access, so how do i make the read only form, while stil enabling the drop down, but disabling the fields for editing??
thanxs in advance
My Access database is situated in a folder which has permissions to only let some people write into it.
The problem is that we would like users with read access to open the database to view but get the following error:
Couldnt use ...path... File already in use.
The database always has more than one user in it so this may be the root of the error message.
Solutions which cannot be implemented are moving the DB to a higher folder or giving write access to this folder to the read-only users.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
How do you make all the labels in your form read-only unless the user clicks edit form or add new record?
