Restricting Access To Informatino
Oct 24, 2006Hi
I have made up an Access database form for our Sickness Administrators to fill in when someone is off ill. I want the form to only show (on the drop down list of names) the people that that particular SA deals with - for example, Jill would enter sickness records for the Democratic, Legal & Personnel section. I am not sure how to go about this:
a) if I have one table with all of the employees names on it, is there a way of restricting Jill from seeing any names other than the ones that she deals with?
b) if I have separate tables for each section, would that be easier? and if so, do I just make a "switchboard" for them to click on the appropriate list?
Thanks!

Jan 16, 2007I have built a database to be used by several users. One of the tables contains some fields which I don't want some of the users to be able to see.
All users log in to the database with their own username and password.
How can I hide the fields to everyone except a specific group of users?

Restricting Records Per Date
Aug 15, 2007Hi, a newbie needed help here.
I just wanted to ask whether it is possible to restrict records/rows in a table that has the same values (same date to be exact).
For example, I have an order form and wanted to restrict to only 20 orders per day (could be of any date; not restricted to the current date only). Therefore, if more than that, a message box will appear and no more record will be allowed to be saved.
Whether is it possible or not please justify.
Thank you in advance.
Restricting Fields On Import?
Aug 29, 2007Hey guys-
New here, and fairly new to Access as well (although I can stumble my way around). I am building a database in which I have to import the data on a daily basis (there won't be much, if any, data entry- just manipulating/Queries of the imported data). One of the fields I am importing is a 'category' type field. There's no way to restrict the data entry aspect of it before I import it into my DB- so I have to work with what I got.
The users type in the categories themselves- many all match the same name/spellings, some do not. So I assume I'm going to have a Category table with all the acceptable categories already entered into it. What I need is some way for the ones that don't fit the acceptable Category names to be flagged- once flagged I need to be prompted for each record if I want to ADD the category to the Category Table, or, if I want to match it to an existing category in the category table. If I choose to match it to an existing category, it will always keep that new category name so that queries and whatnot are consistent.
An Example-
The acceptable Category name might be 'Fruits'.
Upon importing the file- there might be entries that match that exactly, or- some might be entered as-
The Fruits
Fruits II
The Fruity Ones
If these three were to be in the import file- I want to be prompted to change the field entry to 'Fruits' or create a new category name, and associate that with the new name.
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks!

Restricting Certain Data When Opening A Form
Mar 24, 2006What I have is a database that I am using for 3 different sites; NE, NCA, & SCA. What I want to do is have the form ONLY show information for the specific site that the Leader is a member of. I have a security table that contains the persons name, & site location. For example: John Smith works at the NE site; so when he goes to open a form to add/modify/delete members from his site I want him to only be able to see date for NE from the table. So in the listbox NCA & SCA would be filtered.
How can I go about doing this? The forms Record Source is set to the Security Table. Please help so I can do this without having to create a seperate form for each different location. :)
Restricting Number Of Open Connections
Jun 10, 2005I want to restrict the number of times each person can open a database, but give them the option to force close the database on another PC, if they have left it with the database still open, prior to allowing them to have full access / functionality of the database on another PC.
In order to achieve this, I need advice on how to automatically record the computername as each person "logs in" to the database and secondly, send a command to close the database / Access on a PC with the stored computername.
Thanks in anticipation.

View 4 Replies View RelatedRestricting Updates Of Product Prices
May 28, 2013I am trying to set up a database to track truck maintenance, repair, and inspection records for a trucking company. Parts are ordered from vendors, and I have forms set up to facilitate the entry of the information regarding those orders. The problematic form is based on a query. In that query (this form and query deals with the purchase details - product, price, extended price), the product ID is gathered from the inventory transaction table, the product name and price are gathered from the product table (I did this so that price would enter automatically).
Of course, when I change the price, it is changed across all related orders, including those that have been saved previously. I know that the problem more than likely stems from having the info pulled from the products table. I'm just at a loss as to any other option to have the price automatically pulled.
Restricting Lookup Values In Sub-datasheet
May 12, 2014I am new to Access and am currently learning it so that I can construct a database of trivia questions.
I have a "Questions" table with question, answer, type, etc. This table is linked to a "Categories" table with a many-to-many relationship using a junction table called "Questions_Categories". The "Categories" table is also linked to a "SubCategories" table with a Categories as the parent and SubCategories as the child. I have attached the database for ease of understanding.
When I enter data into the "Questions" table using datasheet view, I open up a subsheet that shows me the Category and SubCategory fields which have their own lookups.
My problem is the following: I want each category to have its own set of SubCategories. For example, the "Region-Specific" category has "Canada", "London", and "Ontario" as sub categories. However, the movies category should not have any sub categories. The problem is that when I choose Movies in the sub datasheet, the subcategory lookup still shows Canada London and Ontario when I don't want it to show anything. It doesn't make sense to have a Movies category with a London subcategory.
Trouble Restricting Queries Results On 1 Column
Jan 20, 2007To the point: I have a column which is a combo box (list) consisting of all the departments of company. I don't want 4 of the departments to show up in my query results. In the criteria field I have tried to use the following:
<> "department name", "department name", "department name", "department"
// Note: I've even attempted to place those departments inside parenthesis. And use ; between the names.
Other criteria I have attempted to use without the results needed are:
1.) Not In
Note: some of the department's name consist of a single name; some are two names with a space between the two names. I have entered the names in the same letter case as they were created in the table's combo list.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Restricting Users Ability To Read Only Version: 2003
Feb 22, 2006I have a very simple Access database that contains a form where users enter sheduling information...I wish to limit a group of users to be able to read this information only and not modify or add to it.
The tables are in a back end mdb. The rest is in a front end mdb. And the users actually use the mde file when working with the schedule.
What in your opinion is the least complicated method for providing some users with the ability to add/modify and some with read only.
Thank you.

Problem Restricting Users From Forms Via Security/Permissions
Jan 10, 2008I am receiving an unexpected message when a user tries to launch a form that the user does not have permission for via the Access Security-Permissions setting that I have configured.
I am trying to set my Access db up so that Guest users can only access 2 Forms - the Switchboard and the Main form. There is a Maintenance Form and I don't want Guest users having access to it.
I have configured Security and created a Group named Guestgrp. I have also created a user named Guest that is assigned to the Users and Guestgrp groups.
The Users group is currently set up with NO permission for any form.
Here are the Guestgrp permissions for the forms, db and tables
The following forms have Open/Run and Read Design permission
Switchboard
MainForm
The following forms have NO Permissions selected
Maintenance Form
The database permission is set to Open/Run
Table permissions
The Guest group has Read Design and Read Data permission for all tables
so here is what happens...............
My Guest user can log in and launch the Switchboard form and can launch the Main Form from the switchboard.
BUT......................
When my Guest user clicks on the Switchboard button for the Maintenance Form, the following message pops up:
There was an error executing the command.
Is this the normal way for Access to indicate that the user does NOT have permission to access a form? I am guessing/hoping that it isn't and if configured properly there would be a message indicating that permission is denied or something of that nature.
If anyone has any comments, suggestions on the error in my ways, I appreciate any comments/suggestions/clarifications.
Thanks
Restricting Data Entry Based On The Contents Of Another Field
Sep 22, 2005Hello,
I have two tables which contain the following fields (simplified);
Table 1:
ID
Startdate
Enddate
Table 2:
ID
Unitdate
Treatment
The tables are related (one-to-many) through the ID field.
In operation, the user first enters the Startdate and an Enddate for a patients' hospital stay in Table 1. Following this, the user enters the Startdate again in the Unitdate field in Table 2 and selects a Treatment from a drop-down list. After this, the user enters the following in the Unitdate field and selects a treatment. This is repeated in consecutive order until the Enddate is reached.
The end result looks like this;
Table 1:
ID Startdate Enddate
123456 01/01/2005 04/01/2005
Table 2:
ID Unitdate Treatment
123456 01/01/2005 Ventilation
123456 02/01/2005 Ventilation
123456 03/01/2005 Haemofiltration
123456 04/01/2005 Ventilation
Does anyone know if there is any way to restrict the Unitdate field in Table 2 to only allow dates to be entered that are between the Startdate and Enddate fields in Table 1? Ideally, I would like the Unitdate to populate automatically with the dates, starting with the Startdate value and ending with the Enddate value and filling in all the intermediate dates. Also I would like to make sure that there is no way of having duplicate dates in the Unitdate field.
If anyone can help, I would be extremely grateful.
Best wishes

Automated Access Launch Causing Access Window To Fail To Hide
Jul 10, 2006Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

Using Access's User And Group Accounts Or Using A Login Form To Access Database?
Sep 9, 2005Using 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.
Thanks in advance.
Locking User Access To Database Objects (MS Access 2000 And 2003)
Apr 15, 2007I 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.
