Using Access's User And Group Accounts Or Using A Login Form To Access Database?

Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
I've created a database and I now need to set up user accounts for access to it, so that I can restrict who has read only and who has write only permissions.
I've done this before and never had a problem! But this time, whenever I try and create a new account, the following message is displayed:
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.
Can anyone help as to why I get this message and what I can do to stop it! Whilst it does this, I can't create any user accounts.
I'm new to MS Access and these group forums, and have just taken over an admin role, so please bear with me.
I'd like help with the following. Just nearly had a catastrophe with MS Access, but luckily I've managed to get it back to what it was this morning.
We have a Task Database, set up years ago, which is held on a centralised server, and each person accessing the database has a folder called C:/Task, with a Task.mdb icon, which then links to the main database. This works OK.
I also have a database on another server, which is used for logging problems, and handovers. I've set this up as a One stop shop, with a nice front view, from which I have links to all our databases, and other documents, one of which is the Task Database. This worked fine until this morning.
What I was attempting to do was to setup access to that it recognises the person logging on, and instead of saying Hello Admin, it will say Hello xxx.
I tried setting up a new multi user environment, by updating the Workgroup Administrator. I set up a new .mdw file called system.mdw, which worked on my task database, when I logged on directly.
However, when I log on via the front database, it won't open up the Task Database, as it says that the system.mdw file is in use.
Is it possible to set Access up, so that you can use logon account on more than one DB ???
I've now reset the Workgroup Administrator to point back to WINNT/system.mdw, and it now allows me to access the task db from my front db... So, I'm back to square one.
We have added a new user, following the steps that we always follow, with no probs upto now.
He's showing in the list of users with membership of the correct groups.
However when trying to login with his username and password although it looks like it's accepting username and password as normal and database begins to open we then get the following error message
I moved my access database and not my user account do not have privelages. However, the group accounts they are linked to have been set-up correctly. Why would my group account privelages be ok, but when I look at each user individually they have no privelages set. I'm confused as to why this would be if the users are in the specific groups I have set-up.
I have recently started a project and become stuck already. I have a login form created that works (code below). What i want to do is allow access to the users of 1-7 in table (level of access) which will determine which page they view after logging in. IE if the have Access in table "Users" as "1" then when they log in the will see a form thats called L1. Same with 2,3,4,5,6 & 7.
Code: Private Sub LoginButton_Click() If IsNull(Me.LoginUsernameText) Then MsgBox "Please Enter Username", vbInformation, "Username Required"
I have used Combo box. security_level field is the one that describes their levels and there are only two levels 1 and 2.. I have a table called User (user_ ID, User_Name, Password, Security_Level) On form there is a combo box for user name and text box for password. Two command button where one is for EXIT (Closing the application) and the second button is to run the code.
if the password in table User matches value chosen in combo box or user name and password are correct Then it should check if Security_Level of the user is equal to 1 to displays a form called Admin and when the Security_Level of the user is equal to 2 to display a form called user1.All that I want is to have a login that has two user and each user when login opens his/her own form which is different from the other user.
Hi! This is Kishore, working on VB Project which is using MS-Access95 as backend. Now, i want to change the Database login Password. Could anyone guide me in this context.
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.
I have access 2010, I currently have a database in place and operational. What I am wondering is there a way to have a form come up whenever someone opens access and asks for a password and login name. Also I would like to have a 2 tier system. One for Admins and the other for users with limited access.
I have two database applications and they are: - the (A) application is for administration use. - the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
how to display the user's record or database after he/she login in on the system. Currently I have a database where in the user enters his username and password. But the I dont know how can I make his records display after login.
I have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.
hi.. i have a database stored on my main computer. all pcs on the network have windows xp.the database is stored in a shared folder.. and at the moment.. everyone on the network can open the database.. but not at the same time..basically if i have the database open.. my colleague on the pc next to me has to wait till i close it.so what i am asking is can someone direct me to a simple tutorial or some reading material..that introduces the methods needed to allow multiple pcs to access a single database with or without a login system.i imagine there will be certain read/write and locking issues.. but i really need it.thanks.
I have made a very simple log on form that requires the user to type in a user name and password. The user name and passwords are stored in a table. New users are added to this table to allow access to the database.
Is there a way I can add a counter to see how many times a particular user has logged onto the database?
Is there a way to make the password expire every 365 days requiring the user to reactivate their account and log in details.
i am having a login form. where i have only two users..may be 3 suppose it is admin and guest then i have a main form where i have 5 tabs,...where each tab contains 7 or more command buttons which will open some forms what i need is when the admin is login he should be able to edit add delete but if it is a guest then all the forms should be read only i know abt the allowaddition and etc..but i don't know where to use it.. is it in the login form or in the main form or in each and every form
I have a table called "tblEmployees" with columns "EmpName, EmpPassword, strAccess" in my table
The login form works but I wanted the user to go to a specific form that would be designated under strAccess
I have this code but it totally wrong to what I want it to do but not sure where to start
'Close logon form and open relevent page Dim stDocName As String stDocName = Forms!CopyfrmLogon!cboEmployee.Column(3) DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
[Code] ....
"stDocName = Forms!CopyfrmLogon!cboEmployee.Column(3)" - this is the line that needs to be debugged ... I need something that says open form specified in the the column "strAccess" of the "tblEmployee" tables

I am trying to create a multi user login form for my Access 2010 database. I will have 2 different types of users (administrator and staff). The administrator will be able to see all tables and forms and edit/ add to them. The staff will only be able to view a switchboard form and 2 forms (as well as using combo boxes to look up specific records). However, I don't want the staff to be able to view the tables or edit anything.
Can i make an html of login form, whose data is saved in access as back end. I am curious to know. but of course simultaneous saving is considered yes in here...
I have recently set up a small stock system for my company, and during the last stages i was setting up the user groups and security settings.
Unfortunatly i am now in a position where i cannot modify anything at all! It seems i have set up the 'Admin' group, myself, with no permissions at all. i have one copy of the DB which has a database password, which i know, but no rights to change user privlages nor the ability to open exclusive. There is only one user set up - 'Admin'.
I also have another copy which has no DB pass, but fails to open due to access rights again.
I think i have made a real boo boo. Unfortunatly as all the tables, forms, queries and macros are protected i am unable to even import them into a fresh database without a complete rewrite.
1) How do I add an icon to a form in ACCESS 2007 (and where do I get it from)? 2) How and where do I create different user accounts for the data base (ACCESS 2007)?
Into the form named: Administratorsfrm, I added a textbox defined as usertxt and also a textbox named passwordtxt as well as a button named logincmd.
The user defined is the Network user and this is added automatically to the usertxt field everytime when I open the Administratorsfrm form. To do this I use the next code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim wshNetwork As Object 'New wshNetwork Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") Me.Usertxt = wshNetwork.UserName Set wshNetwork = Nothing End Sub
I would like that the user types his/her password (Network password or Unlocking computer) and after this could Login to the database application. I mean, the user will type his password and then the event should compare the password typed with the network password or unlocking password and if this is correct should open the database application (Main Menu Form: Mainfrm)
