how to restrict access to forms and reports using the Active Directory. It is a pretty simple method to pick up and easy to use in any database. My problem comes when I try to apply this same method to tables and queries as well.
View RepliesI know the is probably wishful thinking, but is it possible, and if so how, to link or create groups from Active Directory for use in Access.

Hi All
I have a small Help Desk db with tables that contain computer spec and user information. But I already have all this information in Active Directory and it seems pointless entering the information twice.
Is there any way i can get the database to lookup the information from Active directory i have no idea where to start.
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to tie a from into the results from and AD Query. I'm not that experienced with doing this kind of thing so I may be going about this the wrong way. Anyway here's what I've got so far:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
With cn
.ConnectionString = "Provider=ADSDSOObject;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
[Code] .....
When stepping through the code, it all goes well until it hits the line that actually connects it to the form "Set Me.Recordset = rs".
When this line is executed, Access crashes and attempts to restart.

How do I restrict access to the database while still being able to add a new hyperlink? I tried deselecting the "display navigation pane" option. But when I do this I am unable to add/edit a hyperlink in a form - when I right-click the only option I get is "add to favorites" rather than "edit", etc.

Simple one for most, but I have having problems with a Database I am setting up
The database controls stock movement (i.e. inwards stock and outwards stock)
I have set up a Parts Inwards table with the following fields:
Part Number (linked)
Qty In
Stock Location
And I have set up a Parts Out bound with the following fields:
Part Number (linked)
Qty Out
Stock Location
Now for the problem, when I run a query to tell me how many parts I have left in the stock room i.e. Qty In - Qty Out, it duplicates the data in the Qty In.
I assume its got something to do with the fact that I have multiple Qty out’s for a single Qty In entry…hope this make sense?
Can someone help?
I am creating a Machinery database to match parts up with equipment. So they can see what the Equipment is and all the available parts. The sort needs to be like this
First Sort:
If the manufacturer of the machine is the same as the manufacturer of the part sort that at top then sort alphabetical
Is this possible? Each equipment would have a different manufacturer so I can not do some type of hard coding.
I am currently creating a form to input new return parts into a database. I am trying to automatically generate a tracking number (##-AA-####-####). I have gotten myself to generate the ##-AA-#### in a list box and almost was able to generate the sequence number, 0001, 0002, etc. using the dmax function. I would like to generate the sequence number one higher than the highest, depending on part type and last 4 digits of part number. Our parts have unique last 4 different p/n but more than one can fall under the same type.

I have a staff database in my office which holds, amongst other things a list of staff holiday taken. Presently the staff have no access to view holidays because they will also be able to view other employees details. What I need to do is enable members of staff to see their own holiday, but no others and Im really not sure how to go about it.
I have a workgroup in place; so each user has their own login/password.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Adam.
Hi, I would like to know how to do the following scenario in Access 2000.
Imagine I have a table, which has two fields X and Y.
User can only enter either field X or Y, but not both.
How to check the above case while user is real-time keying in the fields of the table?
Thanks, Sally
I have the below script:
For Each Item In offexchfldr.Items.Restrict("[SenderName] = '" & frmfm & "'") ' Select Items that match Sender Name on form
If Item.TaskSubject = subid Then
Item.Categories = frmcat ' Update category from form to outlook
Item.Save
End If
Next
This script checks every item in the outlook inbox where the item.SenderName = my database sendername
This works every time except for when the sendername has quotes or single quotes in their name. So i am trying to utlize the replace method on the item sendername before trying to find the items in the inbox but its not working.
Below is my attempt that does not work.
For Each Item In offexchfldr.Items.Restrict("Replace([SenderName],',"") = '" & frmfm & "'") ' Select Items that match Sender Name on form
I created a database which when macros are enabled the only thing visible on the screen is the forum. All tables as well as the ribbon bar is disabled. I also disabled right-clicking.
My issue is, for those who do not have macro's enabled, it opens up in design view and allows access to the left-hand tables until the user clicks the trust button at the top. Once trust is clicked, everything hides as expected.Is there a way to restrict access if they do not have their macros enabled?
I have a database in Access 2010 where I've created a navigation form, and I want a regular user opening the database to enter a password and only have access to that form, and not the actual tables or the navigation pane. They should only be able to view, add, edit, and delete data through the forms I've prepared, and I don't want them to be able to get to the tables themselves unless they have an admin password. I tried looking up how to do something like this, and I tried splitting the database, but it seemed like I was still able to go right to the tables and edit them from the navigation pane even in the front-end, and if I removed the navigation pane links to the tables from the front-end, the forms I made wouldn't be able to display anything from them anymore, and that's not what I want either.
So, I want one password to give access only to my navigation form and nothing else, and then a second password to grant access to everything else.

Hello creators,
I have a little problem and it is creating and checking directories.
In my database I have a form, on it you can see a record of a project. This project has a keyfield called projectno.
On this form there is a button to create a directory with the projectnumber. So far so good. (code example: MkDir ("C:projects444323")
My problem:
If the directory for some reason already exist the code stops and gives an error.
Now I want to create some code that checks if the directory already excist so than I can skip making the directory.
Thanks for the help!!!!!
I am using Access to save an Excel file in a particular directory. The code was created about 10 years ago and hence saves the file with .xls extension and I would like to save with a .xlsm extension. If I just change the .xls to .xlsm, in the code below, the file is saved but the Compatibility Checker comes up (I would like to stop this) and when the file is reopened I get an error message stating there is a file extension problem and the file won't open.
Code:
strExt = ".xls"
'If .txtFriendlyName <> "" Then
' strDestFileName = .txtFriendlyName
'Else
' strDestFileName = Left(objFile.Name, Len(objFile.Name) - 4) & MakeFilePosfix(Now())
[Code] ....
I have an Access 2000 application which, on startup, always launches a 'switchboard' form and sometimes gets information from the user during the startup. Both forms are opened with VBA using DoCmd.OpenForm; the switchboard opens as acNormal and the input form (when used) as acDialog.
Under normal circumstances this works fine.
If, however, the Access window ceases to be the active window in Windows (e.g. the user selects another application's window in the taskbar) the forms do not open (all other VBA code runs correctly).
Any ideas?
Simon
