Is there a way to stop users from opening the front end file twice (stop from having two sessions of the same FE at the same time)?
I've been searching the forum and found this

Hi people. I'm having fun with this one. I want to open a form frmOldRec from a list on frmSelectOld, only if there is data. I'e tried code such as:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim rst As Recordset
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
If rst.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "No Records logged in this service area"
DoCmd.Restore,
'close etc etc
End sub
But I haven't been successful.
As it stands it opens a blank form if there's no suitable record. How can I stop this happening please?
Cheers Barry
I have a button that opens a form based on a query, the query is filtered based on an input field. This works great except when the user typos what they put into the input field. Since the query pulls no records it just opens a blank form. I want it to not open the form and instead open a message box telling the user the data they entered is not valid and to try again.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to stop the user from beng able to move a form. I.e. as in change its position on screen.
I am aware that you can do this by setting the border type to "none". However, I want my form to have a title bar along the top, so I cant use this method.
Is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ive found some information on the "movable" property, but I am using access 2000 and cant get it to work.

I have attached an example for reference....where red encircled portion is for values and blue is for relevant comments. If value is non zero then user should be enforced to enter the comment too......system should not allow user to move forward or backward until there is some comment.
Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.
I'm using Office 2010.
i had a database that allowed me from a form to store a file location for a record on a form, so i any time i could access the record, and then open the file, usually a pdf, it wasnt stored as a hyperlink, but as long text
i made the mistake of not copying the files for safe keeping when i got a permanent position..i am now back self employed, i need to recreate the database.
I have a form that allows a user to complete a stock take. I would like to stop other users from receiving or despatching stock while a stock take is in progress.
Is there a way I can lock a table, or stop users adding or altering records that match certain criteria. i.e. don't let users receive or despatch stock from with a locationID of 'A'.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello Gentlemen,
I am planning to give different rights (AllowEdit, ViewOnly…) to the user on accessing forms and reports in a db on a single pc instead of dealing with server as my client have only one pc.
As a present requirement, db would be in one pc only and would be used by 3-4 users. I need each of users to limit their access to some of the forms and reports in the same pc. To get it, what I did is as follows:
Example:
One of my tables called tblEmployees (Back End Table) linked in FE containing following fields:
1.Unumber- Autonumber
2.UNames - Text
3.Pwd- Password
4.F1- Yes/No
5.F2- Yes/No
6.F3- Yes/No
F1, F2….stands for form1, form2…
There is a login menu form. Something like 2 text boxes on the form and opening at the startup. User selects his name from a combo and types his password. If the user is available in the tblEmployees, Access opens main form and store UNumber and UName with time stamp in a local table called “T_CurrUser. If user not available in tblEmployees, it should close or give some msg.
Now, when the Main form opens (after login with correct user and pwd) and user wants to click different command buttons to open the form, I need to write code to check whether the current user have right to open the selected form (check marked to allow opening this form in the table tblEmployees) BEFORE opening it.
If check mark is set to false on F1 in the table tblEmployees, it means he can’t open form1, and a msg should pop up “Not allowed to view”..Something likes that.
1. I don’t know the code I created with simple if then, where to write ? I mean on which event of form ? On open / On Activate or where. Bcz the code should run before form opens and should check the table whether the user have check mark value true or false.
I tried to write the following code but some time it works some time doesn’t. What is wrong with code lines?
On Click of Command Button that opens Form1
Dim USR = DlookUp(“lngEmpId”,”T_CurrUser”) ‘ Local Table emp.
‘To check if Form1 check mark is set to true
If DlookUp(“F1”,”tblEmployees”,”lngEmpId=USR)=True Then
Docmd.OpenForm “Form1”
Else
End If
When another user logs on the same pc (off course, after login out of first user) the local table T_CurrUser record will be replaced with new user. Note that local table T_CurrUser contains always one record. Hopefully I described correctly.
Any idea will be respected.
With kind regards

Hi,
I have a report that requires the user's input for a field called UserID.
I also have a form in which I want to have a button that can be used to print off this report (which would involve automatically entering the UserID into it). How do I do this?
Here is the code for the form button that I am using at the moment, but when you click it, Access still needs the UserID (duh!). So, how can I automate the input?
Code:Private Sub Command25_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Command25_Click Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "Menu" DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormalExit_Command25_Click: Exit SubErr_Command25_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_Command25_Click End Sub
I need to know the procedure or event code for user login form at opening.
I am working on database which is almost done and i defined tables for users with passwords.
I need to know how i can assign Login Form to be appear on opening of database no other person than listed users should be able to enter or open database without password, to enforce this i made a login form.
In my database there are fields of type Date/Time, their default value is set to now(). But the problem is that those fields are automatically filled up by English system date. I want my own country's date format, without changing my system date format. So I decided, whenever database is opened it should ask for a date, so the user will give today's date and that date will be used automatically on those fields.

I'm not sure if this is even possible but I have a table which has a list of Categories(text) and another field named filepath(also text) which contains a file path which points to specific pdfs. So my question is Can I create a report which then prints the categories with a button next to them which if clicked on opens the coresponding pdf ?
Any help will really be apreciated I am a database novice but am really good at following instructions and copying code :)
Thanks in advance

Greetings:
I have a small access database that I keep on my thumb drive, the last time I closed it I removed my thumb drive before it finished saving and I got the windows was “unable to save” dialog box. Well, the next time I tried to open it, it would not open; when I click on it, it asks for the password (password protected) but when I enter the correct password “Nothing”. I tried to compact and repair but all I get is the option to browse as though there is no file open.
I have researched but can find no solution. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

I have a database application that I have to get to display some external PDF files.
I thought that I would create a command buttone and use that to open the files, but that doesn't want to work. Can anyone provide some thoughts on how to open a Word document or PDF file from within an access form? I only need to display it and then close the file so it doesn't have to be anything fancy.

I wish to open a specific MS Word file using a button on an Access form. Word opens OK, but how do I get it to open the particular file please?
Thanks
I seem to be having a problem opening a file if there happens to be any spaces in the file name. If I open a .pdf no problem acro reader opens it but if it is in word or excell or any other tells me that the file can not be found and seems that only the first part of the file name before a space in the name and the file extention.
example: "Test it.doc" would appear as "Test.doc". somewhere it seems to be trimming the file name.
