Shared Drive

Oct 23, 2007

Hello,

I have an exrternal shared drive "E:"where I put my be files (which are constantly accessed by users with fe's from different terminals). Everytime
I reboot the computer that I am working on (where the external drive is), I have to set up the permissions of the shared drive "E:" all over again, otherwise other computers have no access to E. Is there a way that I could
fix this and not having to set permissions every time I reboot my computer?
For some reason, the permissions are lost.

Different Paths For Shared Drive

Feb 2, 2006

Hello all:

I have the following code to retrieve doucments:

strPath = "G:CorpCustomer Files"

Application.FollowHyperlink strPath & "" & textbox1 & "-" & textbox2 & ".doc"

This works fine from my computer because the shared drive on my computer is saved on the G drive.

I tried using the code from a coworker's computer, but got an error because her shared drive is : "X:CorpCustomer Files"

Basically anyone can access the Corp server through any drive depends on how it was mapped.

How do I get around this so that it works from any computer as long as the user has the Corp share drive?

Thanks much.

DB Security On A Shared Networked Drive

Jan 31, 2006

I've created a database on put it on a shared network drive. I have several people who will need to use this database but I dont want some of them to be able to edit the database in anyway.

Ive tried creating individual user accounts for the database but I don't think I'm grasping how the security works.

When on my machine I'm promted for a username and password but when on someone elses machine they can open up the database with full access.

How do i create individual user security accounts on a database I want to share on a network drive?

General :: Security For Database On Shared Drive

Oct 3, 2013

I need securing an Access database. I am about to put the database on a shared drive. I want myself to be able to do anything (of course), my co-worker Paul to be able to ONLY enter information (along with being able to view everything like forms and reports), and my boss to ONLY be able to view everything (form/report wise).

I found this post [URL] .... about how to secure a database. I spent all day doing it, but it didn't work at all! I just got a bunch of errors whenever I tried to do anything, so I deleted the database and re-used an earlier version.

Access 2003 Backend On Shared Network Drive.

Feb 8, 2006

Hi all...

I have an ACCESS 2003 application with front end in the local machine and backend on the shared network drive. I mapped this drive to E: in my computer and all my linked tables show the E:folernameDatabasename.mdb as the source.

When I install this application in an other computer where they have mapped the same drive to F: , I am getting error that says "E:foldernameDatabasename.mdb" not found. How can use absolute network drive(like \cscrd eamfoldernamedatabasename.mdb) name to link the tables?

Thanks in advance.

Modules & VBA :: Browse For A File On Shared Drive And Link It To Record

Feb 24, 2015

I have a form displaying records. I would like the user to be able to select a button, browse for a file on a shared drive and link it to that record.

I have been exploring hyperlinking, which works for the most part, although I need it to display the share name rather than the drive assignment for that user. Such as drive1folder rather than C:folder.

Hyperlinking also unfortunatly requires the user to right click on a field select edit hyperlink then browse.

Modules & VBA :: How To Send Attachments Using Path Instead Of Attachment Field

Apr 6, 2014

I have some code that attaches any files that are in my attachment field on the current record in to a email this is great but I m starting to realise that this is take up way to much space as it hold a copy in the database and can t afford to go down the sql sever route so what I have done is added some new fields called path1, path2 ,path3 ,path4 and path5 now the user can add the files location to these text box instead of add them via the attachment field also I can now limit number attachments to each record

Code:
Private Sub cmdEmail2_Click()
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Dim OutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

[Code] ....

Some how I need to change this so it checks fields path1 path2 path3 path4 path5 on the current record and see if anything is entered in these textbox's and follow the paths and attach the files to email

How to make command button . How to add a file path to a text box

1. add new field to your table e.g "path1"
2. add the new field to your form
3 create new command button call it addpath
4 add code below to click on event

Code:
Private Sub addpath_Click()
Dim fDialog As Office.FileDialog
Dim varFile As Variant
' Clear listbox contents. '
Me.Path1.Value = ""
' Set up the File Dialog. '

[Code] ....

This will now save file location path to the path1 text box. To open file path

1.add another command button call it "pathopen"
2. add code below on click event

Code:
Private Sub pathopen_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink Me.Path1

Modules & VBA :: Search And Pull Data From Db Stored In A Shared Path

Dec 30, 2014

I have two different database files. One is 2010 ".accdb" format where I have created a form and the inputs to the form is getting saved as records to an access.mdb file in a shared path.Now if the users want to edit the existing record I should allow them to search their previously submitted record with a unique ID number.

I know it is possible when we have both the form and table in the same db. But I want to know whether it is possible to search with a unique ID and pull the data from different db in a shared path using a command button?

Save Outlook Attachments In A Dir

Aug 11, 2015

I expand my code as follow (save the attached files from Outlook - after: If Not Err.Number <> 0 Then):

Code:
Option Compare
DatabaseOption Explicit

Private Sub Befehl17_Click()
' ##################### OutlookImport ##################################
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

[Code] ...

The directory "Unterlagen" allready exist.

So, the definition of the path works (strPath)
the creation of the path wirks (MkDir)

but the SaveAs command did not work, the new directories are empty.

Modules & VBA :: Temporarily Map A Drive / Copy A File Then Remove Mapped Drive

Aug 29, 2014

My workaround was to temporarily map the URL to a vacant drive letter on the local machine, then copy the file over, then drop the mapped drive again. A bit clunky but doesn't incorporate much of a delay and this download only has to happen once per day.

The good news is, the file download / copy now works every time. The bad news is that removing the temporarily mapped drive after the copy has taken place, doesn't and I can't figure out why.

Here are the functions I use to map / unmap the drive :

Code:

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Private Const RESOURCETYPE_ANY = &H0&
Private Const CONNECT_UPDATE_PROFILE = &H1&
Private Const RESOURCE_CONNECTED As Long = &H1&

[Code] .....

I have separate functions to check existing drive mappings on the local machine and thus determine an appropriate vacant letter to use for the temporary mapping - they work fine.

Unfortunately the UnMapDrive function returns False (even though I switch the active drive to C: and force the connection to be cancelled with the fForce flag) So the mapping always remains on the users profile.

I don't want to permanently map drives on the users' profiles, just briefly for the purposes of this daily file download.

So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes.

Shared DB

May 13, 2005

can anybody tell me why my colleague cannot add records to a DB I set up on my pc.

i have a DB with 3 tables linked (all one-to-one).

i can add records into it fine on my pc but when my colleague tries on her pc it allows her to enter data but when it comes to moving onto the next record it wont allow her to save the record.

To explain further. there are 3 tables as mentioned before. lets call them Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3. When my colleague uses the form to add a record it wont let her save it as it says a related record is needed in table 2.

any ideas why it works perfectly on mine but not on hers?

Drive List

Jun 21, 2005

Hi,

Does anyone know if Access has a built-in control that allows users to scan the directory structure of their PC? Similar to the DriveListBox and DirListBox controls in VB6? If so, how might I get access to it?

Thanks

File Already In Use?? It's A Shared DB!!

Mar 14, 2008

Hey folks, me again...

I have a big problem and it's stopping us from rolling out the db to our call-center... cliff-notes at the end...

I have a database that tracks customer calls.
The db files are located on the network in a folder that everybody has access to.

The db is arranged as such:
A backend that holds all the tables.
A front-end for Customer Service Reps with tables that are linked from the backend
A front end for Managers linked in the same way.
And a front end for our corporate folks which is also linked in the same way.

I've tried replicating, making mde's and creating a shortcut on each CSR's desktop. I've also made sure that I use the UNC to link the tables. I've also made sure the db's are shared (I think)

Cliff-notes:
when I have the front-end open on my desktop, and somebody else tries to open it, they get an error. "The file is already in use"

Am I doing something wrong Or am I missing some type of setting??

Drive Verification OnOpen

Oct 19, 2005

Is there a way to verify the drive that an FE is opening from and then close if it is not where is should be?

I have a frontend that gets copied to each users C: drive by a .bat file. However, some just don't care about rules and proceedures and continue to open the frontend on the network drive. Since they map their drive to a specific letter drive for the BE that is where they are opening the FE from.

Thanks
