SWITCHbOARD SECUrITy
Sep 19, 2005
Hi i have a question which i hope someone can answer.
I have a database which has a switchboard as the main navigation throughout the database. (no options of toolbars are visab;le within this database). Due to this i have to keep the administration area of the database on the switchboard which is far from ideal because at the moment anyone can click on the menu item for the administrators area and enter it.
What i want to know is, Is there anyway that i can add security to a command button on a switchboard, i.e add a password.
Thanks in advance for your help guys, look forward to hearing your responses

I have user security level setup with username and password.I have set forms and tables etc to security levels.what i am having trouble with is setting user security levels to command buttons on the switchboard.Example if you sign in Mary Jones and you click on the command button (open Tom Smith switchboard) button on the main switchboard and your not tom smith you get a message access denied.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) <> 2 Then
MsgBox "you cant open this form"
[code]...
it is a switchboard page. and putting CoCmd.OpenSwitchboardPage that does not work either..when you look at the event on click of the command button a macro opens up but I dont see how you can edit it.

I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.
Does anyone know how this is done?
Thank you in advance for your help,

I've read and gone though quite a few of the scrips and examples for creating logins and security and i'm getting to the stage when i need to have good understanding of the different methods.
Some of the examples whilst create a user login do not really allow for security within the database whilst the build in security wizard would appear to offer that functionality.
I am thinking that I will use the Workgroup file and that method. My question is am i able to utilise the fact that if a person 'AdamA' logs onto the database which is built into the workgroup security file. am I then able to take 'AdamA' to populate a table which records actions by a user? (I can't seem to find any thread or book reference to doing this)

Is it possible to do this through vba. If security is setup for all the tables and a user goes in and creates a new table, can that table have security applied to it using code?
So maybe the creator of the table has read/write privileges but everyone else only has read only.

All,
I have created a new switchboard but don't know where it is. When I create it using the Switchboard Manager and then click close, it doesn't appear under any of the options. I have also set is as default but it fails to appear on startup.
Silly question I know. Any ideas?
Many Thanks

Brief Summary,
I have limited experience in Access but have a bit more understanding of databases and tables. I am helping a friend create and access database to track the time his employees spend on different job sites. i am using a template from Microsoft called "Time and Billing" I am going to be manipulating the structure a bit but other than that the template should work fine.
My main struggle is I need to have a screen that the employees access that takes them straight to add / edit a time sheet. i want the rest of the data, reports, views to be password protected. Ideally the switchboard would load up to a page that had a button from employees to click on where they would be taken to the form and a button the owner could click on, enter a password, and be taken into the back-end where the main switch board and the rest of the data resides.
If anyone can help me out that would be great. Oh yeah, The Access database in is Access 2000 being used on a machine running XP Pro.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Gary

Ok, so I will sound like the dumbest person but essentially what is a switch board?
I have searched this place I have searched google but no luck, all I get is that its a menu to navigate, so basically a form with buttons that open frm's qry's etc... I have made a main menu with a basic form so whats so special about a switchboard.
Cheers

Help - I made a switchboard and it went wrong, so deleted all of the sub switchboards and the switchboard icon in the forms window.
I have now made a new one, but I can't get it to appear in the forms window.
Any ideas?

Hi
Can anyone tell me what the advantage (or difference) is in using a switchboard rather than just creating your own form and using command buttons etc?
Thanks

hi,
I've made switchboard. and change the properties of switchboard, namely the "don't show the menu bar". can anyone please explain to me, how to get it back?
in opposite case, I can kiss my db goodbye, for i can't make any changes into switchboard? or??
thanks a lot,
peace

I think this is a simple request for those who know.
I want to display my switchboard to a user group, (read and update ).
The switchboard needs to be full screen and have no means of being minimsed or close, except by the exit button (obviously) on the switchboard.I also do not want to show any of the tool bar icons as well.
I want to retain it as it is now to me as 'admin' when I log in, that is with the ability to minimise and close etc.and all icons
How do I achieve this?

I would like to know if there's a way of adding a switchboard page that goes to a table instead of only forms and reports and such? Because I have subdatasheets that I would like to see when I click on a button from the switchboard, instead of just simply going to a form and not being able to work as easy as it would be to work with a table that displays the subdatasheet right there.
Thank you,
Charlie

I have copies of a split database (front end) placed on each employee’s computer, and I noticed my switchboard screen does not appear when the employee opens the database on their computer. I went through a lot of work designing the switchboard and would like to have it appear upon opening the DB. I know everything in the database is linked so there is no reason the switchboard should not appear. Any suggestions on how to make this happen?
In addition, I have pictures on the switchboard buttons, and I also noticed when I go to the second screen, the buttons on the second switchboard screen uses the same pictures as the default screen. Is there a way to not have it do that?
Thanks.

I have created a very simple switchboard with a few macro's to run either a form to add new records or a report based on a query.
Thing is, when I try to open the switchboard, I get a module error...
Since I'm really just using trial and error to create this entire database for a schoolproject, I don't know that much about access.
Anyone here able to help me out?
If more info is needed to answer the question, plz let me know so I can try to provide it...
Thx in advance,
Lion85heart
