User Level Security Halts With Code
Jul 19, 2005I have created a multi-user database and stepped through the security wizard to create accounts etc. The database also has VB code in it that calculates values for a text box based on values in the form.
The PROBLEM is that when I open the database which Auto Executes the form (with VB) to open, it halts with RunTime error 2147467259 which reads "You do not have necessary permissions to use the .mdb object".... then when I "Debug" this error it takes me to the VB code???? :confused:
The code works fine without security....
Thanks for any help

Limit User's Security Permission With Code
Sep 15, 2005My db is secured using Access security but now find myself needing to code a little security work around if possible.
I have a form that has a subform. On the subform is a field named "Comments". The subform security only lets a particular group write to the fields it contains (including "Comments"). I have a new user that I need to allow to write to "Comments" but not to any of the other fields on the subform. I could make another subform with "Comments" only field and redo my security so that the original group can write to both subforms and new user can only write to "Comments" subform but I think it might be easier to code in that the new user is only allowed to write to field "Comments" in the existing subform. Every user logs into the db so I can get the user ID.
Is it possible to do this?
Advice For Security & Question On Built In Access Security
Mar 26, 2007I've read and gone though quite a few of the scrips and examples for creating logins and security and i'm getting to the stage when i need to have good understanding of the different methods.
Some of the examples whilst create a user login do not really allow for security within the database whilst the build in security wizard would appear to offer that functionality.
I am thinking that I will use the Workgroup file and that method. My question is am i able to utilise the fact that if a person 'AdamA' logs onto the database which is built into the workgroup security file. am I then able to take 'AdamA' to populate a table which records actions by a user? (I can't seem to find any thread or book reference to doing this)
Add Security To A Table If Table Is Created After Initial Security Is Set Up
Oct 26, 2011Is it possible to do this through vba. If security is setup for all the tables and a user goes in and creates a new table, can that table have security applied to it using code?
So maybe the creator of the table has read/write privileges but everyone else only has read only.
Please Review This Code, (simple Code) New With Codes
Feb 16, 2006Works great, but when I hit the number "3", (3 times in row) it will let me into the form. I want it to not let me in IF I don't know the password.
Where did I go wrong?
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim pw As Variant
If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "1" Then
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie"
DoCmd.Close
If InputBox("What is the password?", "Password") = "2" Then
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbCritical, "Sorry Charlie"
DoCmd.Close
End If
End If
End Sub
Using Code To Unprotect And Protect Viewing Code
Jan 14, 2007I protect my code from people being able to read it by setting a password on the code from Tools > Properties, selecting the Protection tab and entering a password, and clicking "Lock Project"
Is there a way to write code that will remove that Lock Project check and check it back on?
I've looked through the Application.SetOption command and it doesn't seem to be one of the choices. It would be very helpful if someone knew how to do this.
Thanks

Help Me About SECURITY???
Jul 1, 2005:confused: I can't access my database. I used many tools to scan my database password, and I had many results but I can't used any one.
This's my database. Can you help me?

Aug 28, 2005Hi
I am experimenting in creating security of a database, and elements within.
I started by creating a user account with a password. I then made a few mistakes, so wanted to delete the mdb, and start again.
However, when I now try to create a new database, or even open a pre existing database, I am asked for the user and password created in the now-deleted mdb.
Apart from the fact that it shouldn't ask for the user name and pasword created in the first database, I am sure it doesn't accept the password I intered in creating the account.
The easy solution would be to delete the file where Access stores user accounts. Where is it, and is it protected, such that I can't delete it? And even if the user name and password still exists somewhere, it should only apply to the database in which it was created, shouldn't it?
Thanks

DB Security
Nov 10, 2005Hi all,
Just looking for a little advice on data protection. I have a split database which is accessed from the front end (forms only). All data is stored on the back end, which is hidden away from the user.
The database is password protected, and both sides use a login authentication to avoid unwanted access. However, the usernames and passwords are easily retrievable by opening the database a text document.
Any ideas on how to make this more secure?
Cheers

Dec 3, 2005I try to play Security.
After I created it, the shortcut is created on the screen.
Everytime needs to click the shortcut to login it.
But, when I go to database file, and then click it, it does not work, it will show the following message:
You do not have the necessary permissions to use the <name> object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you. (Error 3033)
You do not have the necessary permissions for the specified object. To change your permission assignments, see your system administrator or the object's creator.
So, is it ony the shortcut to login it?
if delete the shortcut uncarefully, how to do it??
Thanks.

Dec 7, 2005Hi,
Problem 1:
I setup a security, stored the security file and other files in the drive D:
it works.
after I move the files to the drive C:, then it doesn't work.
Why it doesn't work?
Problem 2:
After I created security, there are acc.mdb, acc.bak, and Secured files, right.
how can I add this link:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" "D:acc.mdb" /WRKGRP "D:Secured.mdw" in the target to the acc.mdb file.
Because when it doesn't work, and then I created a shortcut of the acc.mdb file, then add the above code. Then it works, it give out the prompt.
Does any method instead of this, better than this?
Please let me know, thanks.

Dec 14, 2005Hi
When using security login, can we logout and then login to the database without shutting down the database and re-opening.
Such as using a button to logout and then another to login.

May 5, 2006Hi,
I have now finished my system that will run on a windows network. I now need to get the security setup so different users can access different pages.
I have set a list of users and specified what forms/tables they can access. The problem is, how does access know who is accessing the pages? For example, i have set 2 users - Dave G & Dave S - I have given Dave G access to the admin forms as he is the admin and I have given Dave S access to the general data input forms.
How is this enforced? How does access know which person is opening the forms. Unless access asks the user to login using their user name set in access, I cannot see how it can manage what users can do what.
Thanks

WID Security
Aug 18, 2006First of all, i am pretty new to this....
We have a few access databases in a network. More and more people in our organization are using the databases so I am learning to create some user-level security.
We have access 2000.
Access links to a WIF to create user-level security.
But I think there is an easy way that anyone can get pass that.
Even if I have set all the groups and users privileges and restrictions, anyone can simply switch from one WIF to another WIF, then they would have changed all their privileges and restrictions.
Am I understanding this correctly?
If so, what can I do better secure the database.
Another question:
How can I prevent someone from simply copy/delete the access file from windows? I am afraid that someone, maybe a disgruntled employee or even myself making stupid mistakes, delete the whole access .mdb file, and I would loss everything.
I do backup the file, but even if I back it up every night, if something like this happens, i would have lost a whole day of work.
Your advice are highly appreciated.
Thank you all for your help.

Aug 22, 2006Hi,
I followed the security wizard and everything worked fine. However, when I move the database to another computer or another folder, it prints this message:
'You don't have the necessary permission to use (path)...'
Is there anyway to avoid this please?
Thanks,

Nov 22, 2006Access security is really very confusing, thought I had conquered it but I was wrong. I have been playing with a test DB. How on earth do you reset a password for a user? I just can't see where you go to assign a new password.
Managed to clear the password but then got stuck.

Asking For Security
Dec 12, 2006Hi,
I have a question for user-level security and workgroup.
Suppose we setup user-level security and have a workgroup with storing all username, password, and groups,
if adminstrator want to change one user permission, let's say that change the user permission from update to read permission only, then the user should only have read permission, right. However, previously, the user copied the workgroup file himself before adminstrator change his permission, if he apply to his copied workgroup file, and log in the database, he can still have update permission.
So, how do I prevent the user using his copied workgroup file for the database?
How can I solve it?
Thanks.

Jul 22, 2007Hi again
The security on my database so far is justthe standard everyone has a user name and a password, no one can alter the design of a form apart from me
I am just wondering if there is any way that I can prevent people viewing and altering tables, queries etc. It would be good if when the open the database the main form comes up so they can navigate from that and they are always taken back to this and they can never see the database window
Does this have anything to do with front end and back end databases?
Sorry its a bit vauge but hopefully you will know what I mean
thanks

Oct 30, 2007Can anyone help?
I want to secure a database with two types of access:
1. Those that can view all data and make changes
2. Those who can view selective data
I have tried the wizards, and find them difficult to follow.
Any ideas

Security Key
Jan 25, 2008Since this message board doesn't have a security forum yet :) I will just post this here:
Does anyone know if there is a windows or system event I can check for to find out if something has been removed from a USB or parallel port? My program reads the code from the key at startup (there are USB and parallel versions of the key), and the program quits if the key is not found or the code is expired, but what if the user puts in the key, starts the program, and then removes the key? I thought of putting the keycode checking module on a timer that runs every minute or so, but that seems like a rather painful way of doing it. I thought maybe I could just run the code if a system change is detected . . . any ideas?
Security Help!
Jan 31, 2008I am creating a database for use on a network. I have made a workgroup file for security purposes. I have made a shortcut that links to the workgroup file and database so it opens with the security passwords. However, if you open the shortcut properties, it shows where the database file itself is saved. A user could look at these properties, find out where the database is, go to that location, and open the database bypassing the security. How can I secure either the shortcut or database file itself so people cannot find out where the database is located and open without using the workgroup file security????
