I have a form based on a table where social security numbers are entered. I would like to enter a social security number on the form and once it's entered the first 5 digits are masked. When I go to the table I would like to see the complete social security number displayed. Is this possible? Can the control source on the form be formatted to hide the existing social security numbers as well so they don't have to be rekeyed with the new format?
On my form frmEmployeeDetails I have a text field that is named SSN for social security numbers. I have used the mask on it so it automatically inputs dashes. I am attempting to hide all but the last four digits of the ssn. This is on the on current event of my form.
Code:
'Hide SSN Dim strLSSN, strSSN As String strLSSN = Right(SSN, 4) strSSN = ("***-**-" & strLSSN) Me.SSN = strSSN
I need a natural unique id for current and new enrollees, and I do not want to store social security numbers. If a new person enrolls, I need a way to know if they're already in our system.
I was wondering if a lookup table would work, where you switch a random autonumber for a social. If this will work, is it more secure than simply storing the socials?
I am posting this on more than one site but that should not matter simply because it asks for an opinion and, as such, your opinion should not be construed or even considered as an absolute answer…valued yes, absolute no.
What issues may emanate from using the US SSN, or equivalent numbers in other countries, as an identifier for unique records in a database?
Legal? Voluntary? Not under local database control? And anything else you may care to mention.
Please, members from foreign countries to the US, you are welcome to add your thoughts here.
And please also, this is not about anything you may wish to take up with the Federal Court, Privy Council, High Court or whatever in the future in your country. It’s about your understanding of the situation as it stands, at the moment, in your country.
That’s about it…what do you think?
The following three links should take you to the other two sites… (Sounds like a bit of gobldegook but you are already on one of those sites.)
I have a database for which I would like to disguise a social security number (123-45-6789) with stars (***-**-****) in my form, but only for a group of people for whom "Employee status" is "Staff". The SSN will not be entered in this particular form, only viewed to double check for all individuals who are not "Staff". Can anyone suggest how to do this? Thanks!
I have a database that keeps track of vositors to our center. A student recently complained because after signing in he hit pageup and his social security was displayed.
Students enter thier number and pick a subject and class from drop downs and thenclick sign in.
Is there something I can put in the Onclick event that would not allow a new user to view the previous users info?
How I can generate just the last 4 digits of the SSN need to be shown on the reports which are generated? For example if a SSN were: 123-45-6789 I would want the field to read ***-**-6789. I also would like to have actual row in table password protected on its own is this possible?
I have a query that looks like this: Like [Forms]![Searchaddress_form]![search_3] & "*" The filed name is "ssn"
In a form I have an unbound field that is called "search_3" and when I type a number or more and hit enter it's supposed to look it up in the table. But it´s not working
FYI! It works whith letters. I have the same query for searchin first name and it works. But not with numbers.
Need some wisdom.. ;) I got code behind buttons on my main switchboard form to enable passwords on the buttons.. I use the following code...
Private Sub Option2_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Option2_Click
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String Dim Password1
Password1 = InputBox("Please Type the Password", "Password Prompt")
If Password1 = "password" Then stDocName = "Main Form" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria Else
End If
Exit Sub Exit_Option2_Click: Exit Sub
Err_Option2_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_Option2_Click End Sub
My issue is that I need to mask the password, I know if it can be done by other methods, such as creating an inputbox on main form and setting the input mask property to Password and useing the button to make this visible.. etc.. However, a little bit of a mess.. the above code is simple and straight forward.. Is there any VB code that I can enter for an input mask for the inputbox :confused:
I have a text box where users input a person name as it appears on their bank account. This text box can only take alpha characters and no numbers or other characters except the "&" sign.
Please can some one help in to how i can mask this text box to only take text and nothing else, not even a combination of text and numbers can be accepted, please help!
Is it possible to mask data in a report? I have a report that contains a field for an ID number. Depending upon who is receiving the report only a partial ID number can be shown.
Example: Instead of showing ID#: 123456 the report can only show ***456.
Hi everyone, I am hoping someone will be able to help me with a problem I have. I am undertaking a social network analysis and in order to do this I need to be able to create a matrix with the following format:
Group Person J Smith G Fowles M Jones X 1 0 1 Y 0 1 0 Z 1 1 0
I also need to be able to store and retrieve personal and group level details. Note that people can be in more than one group and groups can have more than one person. My problem is that the data has been gathered by another institution and is only available in the following (Excel) format.
Group Person Role Group Characteristic ..... X J Smith Strategist Level One X M Jones Supporter Level One Y G Fowles Financer Level Three Z J Smith Strategist Level Ten Z G Fowles .... Level Ten
Any idea how I can go about doing this? I know how I could do it if I manually entered the data, but because there are literally thousands of individuals (and a whole heap of groups too) I am hoping hoping hoping that I can do it using Excel and Access. Any advice would be incredibly appreciated.
I'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)
I have a form used for holding purchase information - the purchase order number, date etc. and the subform holds the order line items. Each order line item in the subform has a RECEIVED field check box on it, to denote when the item has been delivered.
I need to allow the storeman access to the form/ subform but only allow him to change the subform 'received' field to say that the goods have been delivered. All other fields on the subform should be locked - How would I do this?
It is not sufficient to disable controls in the subform in the Form_Load() event - this does nothing.

I have a number of forms which I wish to password protect. Currently I have done this but the password is hard coded. I need to change this so that I can create a smaller like control panel form that allows some to change the different passwords.
My current problem is changing the hard coded passwords to use a variable instead. I thought to use a Public variable which is in a normal module (not class) however I am a little stuck as I dont know what would be the best way of setting and storing the value of that public variable.
and I want to create a form that once you log in as the admin you can create new users give them passwords which they can change later and to select which forms and table the have access to and how they can access them (can the just read the table/form or can the read/write the table/form)
Not sure how to configure level which is attribute to select which forms and table the have access to and how they can access them (can the just read the table/form or can the read/write the table/form)
Once upon a time I stumbled upon an example form or selection or forms that I merged that allowed the admin user to add and modify user accounts that were set up using the User-Level Security wizard. The form showed the user accounts and group there each were in both of which could be changed or added to as weel as passwords changed or set without going through the full toolbar selection method.
I have since deleted this from my computer in one of my random clean ups but have since been asked for it again. Does anybody have any knowledge of this form or where I might be able to find it?
I am relatively new to Access and VB. I am trying to create a log-in system that assigns a security clearance to each user and then restricts access to certain forms and reports based on security clearance. Right now, I have set up the log-in system - that seems to work fine. But when I try to lock the form based on security clearance, I get the 2450 - Form Not Found - error.
The code I am using on the form is as follows:
Private Sub Form_Open (Cancel As Integer)
If Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) <> 1 Then MsgBox "You do not have access to this form", vbOkOnly DoCmd.Close acForm, "formname" EndIf
Is 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.
