Tables :: Password Protect A Linked Table Or Make It Read Only
Nov 14, 2012
I have a table that I imported from another database. I used import Access - Link to the table source by creating a linked table. - then downloaded in my database.
I want to use the linked table to create relationships and forms but do not want to even accidently edit it. The table gets updated in the database on a weekly bases and I am hoping it gets updated automatically in my database as well. does it automatically get updated or do i have to set up something?
Also, I want to protect the data in that particular table and either password protect it or make it read only. Can I do that? If so, how?
In Access2010 I have created a linked table to a SQLServerExpress database.I have a user in SQLserverExpress with only reading rights.This linked table is used in a form which only shows the information. When opening the form, it prompts for the SQLserverExpress username and password.How can I configure the linked table so that it logs in automatically with the SQL user I prefer so that the user does not need to enter a user / password?
I have what is probably a stupid question but I've been struggling with this one for a while. I have an ordering database which has an Orders table (containing Order ID, Date, Supplier etc) and an Order Line table within which I have a combo box for Product name, supplier, price, VAT rate, Line price etc. At the moment, I have the order line table as a subform within the Order form (run from the Orders table). The problem I'm having is the subtotal and total fields. At the moment these are in the Order Line table as I cannot figure out how to get these in the Orders table. In summary, can I make a calculated field in one table that calculates values from another table (linked by Order ID)?

I have an Access 2000 split into FE and BE and the client has requested the BE be password protected. I attempt set database password on BE but then when I open FE I get error msg " not a valid password". I get the same error message if FE has same password or if FE has no password. Any ideas?

I am building a DB which will hold personal information, all this info will be held in a table and displayed on a form, but I would like it so that the user has to enter their user name and password and only the form which relates to their details opens ( so like an open form and display specific field but passworded)
How can I hide the Database window with password protection?
For example, if someone attempts to access the Database Window, they would be promted to enter the password before they can see the tables and queries...
I have some Access 2000 VBA code which opens all of the Excel 2000 spreadsheets in turn in a particular folder. However, if one of the spreadsheets is password protected I want to ignore this file and move on to the next one...is this possible?

I've been working on a large project for my employer for a year now (but software development isn't part of my normal day to day duties). Most of the work (around 70%) has been done in my own time at home. The company were going to buy a system that would be customized by developers at a cost of around $60,000. I've developed a solution that is probably better than what they would have got. At my last appraisal my boss said that it had been discussed that i would be rewarded if i delivered it. My question is:
Is it possible to password protect access to the source code? I'm working with Access 2003 just now. I know I can create a .mde file to prevent access to the source code but that would make further development difficult. e.
So I created a new form that multiple coworkers will have access to. I understand that you can password protect an entire data base, but I was wondering if you could go deeper than that. I have a main form with a combo box (query to show existing IDs) for "ClientID" that links the main form and subform (Its controlsource is ClientID from the table the subform was created off of). If a user selects an existing ClientID, the linked subform pops up with the selected ClientID displayed on the subform in a field along with existing additional information displayed. If The user types in an ID not in the database, a blank subform comes up for the coworker to create this new record and the field for ClientID is blank.
1) How can I make it so that when a coworker types in a ClientID in the combobox that is not in the database, the blank subform that pops up has the ClientID field filled out with what was typed in the main form.
2) Situation: Adding a new client to the main form, and filling out the additional in on the popup subform. I want there to be a field on the main form for "worker". The worker will put their ID and create a new client record. Is it possible to make it only possible for this worker to edit this client record in the future? ...the original creator will be the only one able to edit the information.
-I am thinking maybe have a table with all workers and associated passwords. So, if a user tries to open a subform created by another worker, he will be prompted to enter a password (which will be the one associated to the creator in this "secret" table.
Hi, I am extracting data from linked db2 table using access make table query. First I create a select query and can view the linked db2 data, but when I change to a make table query I get an error message, "invalid argument", when I run the make table query. There is no selection critera specified. Has anyone had this happen? and Do you know a solution?
This question will surely show my amateur Access skills... I have to add a field to a linked table. However, the table doesn't save my changes. Is there something I need to do before I make my change?
I get the error message "Table 'name' is a linked table with some properties that can't be modified. Do you want to open it anyway?
