hi,
am trying to create an application for a company that has a small call-center (strength 20). the db is in the central server and each caller sits with frontend on their computer.
the central DB is shared on the network which these 20 PCs are accessing.
The frontend: 1 Form only which is based on a query that displays records.
Form Lock property: Edited Records
Query Property: Edited Records
As the telecaller starts calling the customer looking at the records, they are not able to edit certain records as the respective record is locked by MS-Access when am sure that no other telecaller has opened the particular record.
Any help is appreciated.

I'm going live with my DB tomorrow morning. I wanted to to Edited Records for my lock type but ran into a problem, this weekend when I took it to our office and had it on multiple computers for the first time. (I've been designing at my house, in my spare time (right), so I couldn't test for the problem I have now.) When a user is on a record and I open the same record up on another computer it locks ok and shows in the Record Selector that it's locked but if I begin to tab through the form I have at least one code that pukes. In my LastName field, in the On Exit event, I have the following code:
If Not (IsNull(Me.LastName)) Then
Me.LastName = StrConv(Me.LastName, vbProperCase)
End If
As I try to Exit this field, only when the record is locked, the code pukes. Can some one lend a hand and give some advise on how to prevent this?
Thanks ahead of time,
Shane
Hello,
I have a database we use to enter new account numbers and several other atribbutes about the account and it is split into a FE/BE with the BE in a shared folder. I have the open database using record-level locking checked but it seems to me that the database is opening up with page-level locking. Multiple users will receive a message that the current record is locked and I am sure that they are all not updating the same record. Does anybody have any idea's of what I can do? If nothing else I am going to have to recreate my form as an unbound form and see how that goes.
I have done some serious searching and have discovered that many others have posted this question, but I couldn't find any satisfactory answers.
I have a FE/BE Access 2000 database in a multi-user environment. I have my default record locking set to "No Locks" (optimistic), but for unknown reasons, some records still lock. The records are viewed via a form, which is also set to "No Locks." We only have about 20 users, so it is rare that two people actually have the same record open at the same time. It seems to be that whole groups of records lock sometimes, despite the fact that I'm using optimistic record locking. Usually if you wait 15-20 minutes it is unlocked. If someone can explain this I would be overjoyed.
But, I can deal with the record locking. The problem is that users have no idea why they can't update a record and no matter how many times I tell them to wait 15 minutes they still come crying to me every time. So, I want to make a message box pop up when they try to update the record that states something like this: "The record is currently locked. Please try again in 15-20 minutes."
If someone could offer some code options and explain where it needs to go (form load, open, etc.) I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you!
Access 2002 . Can I condition a field to 'locked' on just one record of a continuous form subfile, based on the contents of a 2nd field in same record?

Hi All,
Is there an easy way to show that a record has been deleted (besides "audit trail")?
for example:
if record_id 2 was deleted, the fields can show "deleted"
thx
I am creating a query based on two tables: 1) tblClient (only one primary key "ClientID") and 2) tblContactDate (with two primary keys "ClientID" and "ContactDate").
Each client may have more than one contact date.
In the query, I only want the records from the tblContactDate showing for the MOST RECENT contact date of the client only; however, right now the query is producing more than one record for those clients with more than one contact date.
Not sure if I need add some special code to the "criteria" area in the Design View, or somewhere else. Your help is appreciated. :confused:
Hi all,
Hope every is good.
I've stumbled accross an issue where i have 1 table (140,000 records) and 1 query (141,000 records) making up my MERGE query.
My merge query brings back 55,500 results, this means that there are on 55,000 records that match by a unique ID.
I need to create to other querys displaying the result that are NOT in the MERGE query, 1 for each table/query used in the MERGE query
This will then show me what data we and the client have thats out standing.
cheers

I need to write a query that includes the values of 2 fields from the following record. e.g
index Name Total Name2 Total2
1 Dave 8 Steve 4
2 Steve 4 Mike 6
3 Mike 6 Pete 4
4 Pete 4
I can get a partial success when I use the DLOOKUP function along with a sequential indexed field but I am working with 10,000s of records and any subsequent query based on the results of this takes an absolute age to run.
Hello,
I have a "problem" in my database.
I have a form, as you can see in the attachment.
On that form I can choose different installations to which a spare part belongs to, but in that same list of installations it always shows a name of the first installation in the dropdown list. (a default record)
This can cause some confussion, because you see the name in the list, although it doesn't belong there.
How can I fix this?
PS : If I'm not clear about my problem, pls say so, my English is not may native language.
I was having trouble adding my records to my subform. I think it was going into my main form, which is unbound. When I removed the navigation bars from my main form and added them back to my subform, I lost my records that i had. They are still in my table, but not showing in my subform. How do I get them in there?

I would like to use a query to show only the records where "SRG" is not listed and where there is another group. So in the example data above, I would like the only record to show in the query to be the last record because it's the only one where SRG is not listed along with another group.
The logic behind this is when a problem is initiated and a group assigned, we do some things and document the results. So I am only interested in the records where we have not documented our results too.
Does anyone know how I can do this with a query?
Thanks,
Jim

I have a Yes/No field for Tax in my table. Records that have this field checked will have 5% of tax added to its total cost. I did a DLookup on the On_Current event of the form and it does not work. My code is as follows,
Code:If DLookup("[Tax]", "tblOrderInfoMain", "[PONumber]='" & txtPONumber & "'") = -1 ThentxtTax = 0.05 * [SubFrmLookupRecords].[Form]![txtSumTotalCost]txtGrossTotal = 1.05 * [SubFrmLookupRecords].[Form]![txtSumTotalCost]ElseIf DLookup("[Tax]", "tblOrderInfoMain", "[PONumber]='" & txtPONumber & "'") = 0 ThentxtTax = ""txtGrossTotal = txtFinalSumEnd If
Is it the wrong event to insert my code in? Grateful of any feedback and help. Thanks!

i've designed a rental database (which seems to do what i want) - it's not perfect....
But i can't figure out how to accomplish this.
If i have a tenant, who has previously had a lease agreement on one of my properties, but then moves out, and then moves into one of my new properties, i can't seem to see how to get access to display just the new lease details.
I've attached a blank copy of the DB with some sample data to illustrate this.
you will see that test tenant has two leases, one expired lease, and one active lease, but on the main form it just shows the expired (original lease)....
I have attached a sample spreadsheet. Each store has a planned date which is calculated off the dates in column b and c. The second row is actual date.
As much of the data I have is in MS Access, I tried to use some extracts to appear in this format but no luck.
I have a subform in which the users enter job update information. When an update comes in, they simply enter the information in the new record row, denoted by a * in the left hand column. Each record is timestamped (=Now()) and sorted by newest date first.
Is it possible to display the new record row (the blank one with the star) first? I attempted to add the Autonumber ID, hide it and sort by that but it simply comes up with "(New)" in the ID field.
Help needed again please
I have managed to link a report to a form where you can double click on the surname and the report opens automatically BUT I want the report to only show the data from the record that I have double clicked - at teh moment the report is coming up with thousands of pages - one for each record.
Can anyone help me with this - I think it's probably something simple but I can't work it out on my own :eek:
