I have a database that I have secured by using Access 2003 user security. I need for the database to allow the user to login and once they have logged, to open a form and filter out only their open "tickets" - records.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance.
:confused: :(
I think I am in the correct area of this forums, if I am not, please forgive me. Anyway, this is way over the top of my head and I need desperate help! Here goes…..I am finally finished exporting an Excel spreadsheet that contained over 6,000 entries into a continuous form in Access 2003, and before I move it to the shared drive, I have a few questions/concerns.
I work with a group of employees totaling 15. Out of the 15 of us, 4 will be issued editing rights, and the others read only rights and I will be the administrator/creator/owner of the database. Here are my concerns:
1. It is a MUST that the 4 with editing rights be able to work in the same form, (the form consists of daily updates i.e.: (purging, entering, deleting and fixing of data) in different areas of this form, and maybe at the same time?
2. In addition, will the 4 of us be able to save the updates entered separately, and have the most recent data which was entered updated for others to view? (I know in Excel we were able to do so).
3. Will the users with read only rights be able to fill out other forms in the database or should I assign some degree of editing rights?
4. Also, although rare, will there be a problem if all 15 employees are in the same database completing other forms at the same time?
5. We have a few employees who work from home and log into our system via Citrix. Will they have a problem logging into the database and completing the forms?
This is where I am TOTALLY CLUELESS and need help DESPERATELY!! Is there a step by step way of doing this? (please say yes! please say yes!) I am sure I will need to create a shortcut for all users and I will also need help on how to do that also. Currently, there is no user id or password set up for anyone of us since we have a specific shared drive designated for our group/department.
I welcome any suggestions you may have.
THANKS!
Hi
I wonder if anyone can help. I attach a table that is a material list (27000 records). When I add a new material I want to be able to see the last part code I created for a particular supplier.
For example C001, C002 and C003 are for a supplier company called Chapters so I would scroll through the combo box search list in the form for the last one and create a new record called C004. The problem is that E00001, E00002 for a company called Edwards supplies 20,000 items so it's a long way to scroll through to create a new part code called E20001. How can I show in the form what the last part code is for each Supplier?
I attach the form and table as I'm not very good at explaining this, although I have had to delete approx 20000 records as the database was too big to be posted. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks
I have a database to record drawings received. On the form there is a combo box to select discipline (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical) and a combol box to select the volume the drawings are in (Volume 1 - foundations, Volume 2 etc). The disciplines are stored in tblDisciplines with a relationship between this and the main tbldocument. I also have a table , tblLocation which has the volume ref and description. However when I click on the location field it shows me all volumes for all disciplines. What I want is if the first field selected is Civil only the civil volumes are displayed.
Can any one point me in the reight direction
How can you get the user's logon name or ID?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, i want to add security into my database, but i dont want to use the built-in workgroup security.
Is it possible to create a login screen that will allow different access rights depending on the username? If so can sum1 please help me with the code?
Cheers Guys :)
Every time I open up access I get a logon box which asks for the admin password. This applies to any database project I open. I for the life of me can't figure out how it was turned on, but it still has the generic password associated with it(thank god).
I am trying to rid myself of having to type it in every single time I open up a database project. I have tried to delete it in the security section of tools and it won't allow me to delete the admin.
This is incredibly annoying because neither of the database projects requires a password, and I am not even the one that created the projects. I am merely a user.
Any suggestions on how to rid myself of this annoying problem?
Hi all
I have a rather simple problem that I do not have the time to solve. I have a time series taken at 30 second intervals over 5 months and the records total over 250,000. I only want data from every 15 minutes, so only one out of 30 records. How do I filter the table to extract only the records I need?

Hi there,
I'd like to filter out so that the name only appear once base on LastOfDate.
Sample data in query
Customer_____Date__________Product
John_________02/02/2008_____A
John_________05/03/2007_____B
John_________03/06/2006_____A
Nick_________04/04/2006_____A
Nick_________04/04/2007_____B
James_______05/04/2008______A
So in the query, I just want to have John, Nick and James appear once with the LastOfDate.
The result should be
John_________02/02/2008_____A
Nick_________04/04/2007_____B
James_______05/04/2008______A
I included the db file which only perform LastOfDate and unique name, however since John has product A and B, it won't get rid of B.
SELECT DISTINCT query1.Name, Last(query1.Date) AS LastOfDate, query1.Product
FROM query1
GROUP BY query1.Name, query1.Product;
I just want one Name, LastOfDate and one product, regardless of A or B.
Thanks,
Isabel
how I can modify this code to make it filter results in a combo box by what the user types in to search for.
Private Sub txtSearch_AfterUpdate()
With Me.RecordsetClone
.FindFirst "[FirstName]=""" & Me.txtSearch & """ OR [Lastname]=""" & Me.txtSearch & """"
If .NoMatch Then

I use MS Access a lot for my work but a few days ago when I opened Access it asked for a username and password. I didn't set anyway passwords so tried to log on using the username: admin and a blank password which didn't work. I have tried every username and password combination that I could have used but nothing seems to work.
Is there anyway for sorting this out so that I can use Access again?
This 2007 is driving me to drink.
Convert from 2003 to 2007 a few minor problems.
Did not save in a accdb and accde file format.
The users I had listed in wrkgroup did not come over. Ok no problem I will add them.
I located the users amd Permissions in 2007.
My question when I add the users and assign the permissions, will they get a log on screen like it did for 2003?
Previously posted in General but got no response so decided to move to forms area.
I want to hide as many toolbar options/menus as I can on startup, so the user is very limited as to what they can do with the database.
I am using the multiuser logon option so each user has their own user name and password.
By hiding the menu, it also locks out the option to change their password.
I want to give users the ability to load the User and Group accounts/change logon screen only.
What I was thinking was calling this option from a command button on a form.
ie, Once clicked, it takes you to the generic Change Logon screen with the need for the menus to be enabled.
Can this be done?
If not, is there an alternative.
Thanks

Dear Experts,
I have created a database with queries that is working fine, however there are many records that have the same information that can not be removed easily, is there a method anyone knows of that can filter the records produced from a query to remove duplicates? i.e. 'select distinct' but for the whole query after the search parameters have been entered.
e.g. the search query is producing, after the refined search values are entered:
414353p - Fiat - 1.6 - MLS
414353p - Fiat - 1.6 - MLS
How can i then apply a filter to automatically reduce these duplicates to just one entry for the whole form?
Thanks
I have a database with 2 tables. Table1:drawing number and drawing title and Table2: date, action, status. Table2 gives the complete history of our internal review process.
Example:
Number=001, Title=Drawing001
date=01/01/07, action=drawing received, status=
date=02/01/07, action=drawing checked, status=approved
date=03/01/07, action=approval sheet issued.
Number=002, Title=Drawing002
date=04/01/07, action=drawing received, status=
date=05/01/07, action=drawing checked, status=not approved
date=06/01/07, action=approval sheet issued.
I need a report which lists just the 'not approved' drawings. I've been able to add a query which lists the drawings but I loose the complete history, i.e. drawing recieved date.
Is there anyway I can display all the fields but only for those drawings which are 'not approved'
Hi, I need help on my search command. I am hoping to be able to use a combo box or a list box coming from a table as my criteria to use to filter records from a form and present it a subform/subreport upon clicking the command button. Ideally I should have a form wherein I will have a either a combo box or list box for my criteria, a subform/subreport, and a command button. When I select a particular item on the combo box or list box and I click the command button, the subform/subreport would show me records matching only the particular criteria I selected.
I tried using several approach but it's not working, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help me, I am just learning how to do this all by myself.
First Approach:
I tried using a list box to list all the countries I have available from the country table and a command button so when I select a country from the list box and click on the command button I will be able to show on a datasheet view only records matching the country criteria.
This is the code I used:
__________________________________________________ _______________
Private Sub Preview_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "qrysumcountry subform", , "Country", "Country = [List4]"
End Sub
__________________________________________________ _______________
But everytime I click on the command button Preview, I am always asked to enter parmeter value then when I type the country that's when it shows the record in forms format matching the criteria country but when I dont type anything and click ok, it just shows a blank form and indicates it's filtered but no record is showing. But I click cancel, it shows a Run-time error '2501'. why does it still have to make me type the parameter if I have selected it on the list box already?
Second Approach:
On the form: I used a combo box, a subform/subreport and a command button. On the combo box I have to show different countries available on my country table. on the subform/subreport I have used my a form created from a query. I want to select from the combo box a particular country and used it as my criteria to filter the records I have on my subform when I click on the search command button. I tried following the sample given by gromit but it doesn't want to work on my database.
This is the code I followed:
__________________________________________________ _______________
Private Sub btnClear_Click()
Dim intIndex As Integer
Me.cmbCountry = 0
End Sub
Private Sub btnsearch_Click()
Me.frmqrybyCountry1.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM qrybycountry" & BuildFilter
Me.frmqrybyCountry1.Requery
End Sub
Private Function BuildFilter() As Variant
Dim varWhere As Variant
varWhere = Null ' Main filter
'Check if there is a filter to return...
If IsNull(varWhere) Then
varWhere = ""
Else
varWhere = "WHERE " & varWhere
' strip off last "AND" in the filter
If Right(varWhere, 5) = " AND " Then
varWhere = Left(varWhere, Len(varWhere) - 5)
End If
End If
BuildFilter = varWhere
End Function
__________________________________________________ _______________
After selecting on the combo box and click on the command button it just shows all record. It doesn't seem like it is reading what I selected from the combo box as my criteria to filter the records. What could be I be doing wrong? Honestly, I dont understand what is happening to the code here especially the BuildFilter function.
Please help me, I would really want to figure this problem out. Thank you so much.
I have a query that shows member check-ins to a fitness facility. Customer scans their membership card and it logs their customer id, scan date/time (date and time are one field), name, etc. Sometimes the customer will scan their card multiple times if they've left and come back, but I only want to count their first scan. I have a second query that runs off of this one and counts visits by hour for a date range.
So my question is, how do I filter out subsequent scans on each day in a query and how do a I do that when running the query for multiple days? So in the multi-day query I want to count each day they came, but only the first scan of each day? How to do this in the query design grid...

Hello all,
I've run into a little snag and I'm hoping to reach out for some assistance.
I've created a form that has a drop down box. This dropdown box is populated with a list of values taken from a database.
I've created a query and built an expression that filters the query records by the value of said drop down box.
My issue here is if no value is selected in the drop down box, the query produces no records. I would like the query to display all records if the user did not select a value from the drop down.
Although I'm a beginner by any stretch of the imagination, I did manage to make a conditional in VBA to apply a wildcard (*) if nothing was chosen in the drop down, but that didnt work.
I'm at a loss. Can anyone offer a solution?
TIA,
Fuse
I have a table that has a list of order information, there are multipule records per order that have information about when the order was processed. There is a day tied to the process time of each record, I need to filter out the duplicate records and get one record for an order, but that one record must be the first process time entry for that order. Anyone know how to make this query? Let me know if this doesnt make sense.

I am making a Customer Contacts database. The people in this database are organized into 30 groups.
I have one main form, and 30 queries to filter the records displayed on the form
I made buttons on a form representing the different groups of contacts to view, and when you click on one of those buttons, the main form opens with the record source as the query of the group you clicked on.
Here is my coding for one of the buttons
DoCmd.OpenForm "MainForm"
Forms![MainForm]![HomeAddress].Form.RecordSource = "Company Work"
Also on the main form, I have a button to open a report that displays address labels of all the people in the database
How do i code that button, so that the records displayed in that report will be the same as those records displayed on the form? How do i filter the records in the report so they will be the same as in the form?
I have a query that carries all the properties in our database, and data for when our company 'worked on' properties. Each property falls within a certain province and municipality (this is slightly irrelevant info) , we worked on properties in a period from 2009 - 2013/06/30 this period is called '2009', and we have again worked on properties during a period 2013/07/01 onward - this period is called '2013'.
Now I require this query to display all the properties, but only the entries in certain fields, that relate to '2013'.
I have about 7 fields where this date (either 2009 or 2013) can be displayed, I tried to filter them all simultaneously by using the criteria: Is Null Or "2013", in every one of these fields, but this criteria results in me losing entire records that contained 2009 data, instead of the data simply not being displayed. Even in cases where some of the 'date' fields contained 2013.
How I can keep all records but simply display info relating to work we did in the 2013 period?
I'm using a datasheet that can be filtered for certain fields. I have a macro that opens a form to the record that was selected (aka "current") in the datasheet. It filters this opened form to "1 of 1" which makes sense. How would I go about filtering that form for all of the records left (after filtering) in the datasheet?
I hate macros, but I'm doing client-specific work. The primary key is a field (autonumber) called "ListingNumber".
I am using Access 2013, I have a recipe project with multiple one-to-many relationships. The main table in all of them is RECIPE. Child tables are HOLIDAY, SPEC_NEED, COURSE... each one of these child tables are comprised of multiple checkbox columns (yes or no)...
I need to filter the RECIPE records based on the selected checkboxes in these child tables..so for example if COURSE.Appetizer is checked and HOLIDAY.Christmas is checked RECIPE will produce the appropriate records. How to pull this one off...I am currently using the Options Group design tool and have used a separate Options Group design for each of the child tables...
I have a logon form that always contains a value in the user name and password fields. How can I do it that these two fields are empty when the logon form is displayed? When I put this code in a program text12.value="" then it delete user name in database.
