Strange Problem...one User Doesn't Get Backend Data
Feb 28, 2006
i have my database split (backend and frontend) - both are residing on the server in different folders...users can't have it on their desktop since we're running on a Citrix server and each user only has a thin client.
Now currently I've got 3 users to the system. 2 users can use the system simultaneously without any problems...however the other user loads the front end but the backend data (bookings, despatches, etc) simply does not load - cannot access any data..
At work i have a newtwork of computers each with a frontend of my database on it and 1 computer with the backend on it, once there's about 8-10 computers using it, it wont let anymore in it saying something like unable to open, exculsively opened etc. How to i get round this?
Hello all I have a "Read only" frontend and Backend as 2 different files on the LAN shared drive. i have around 50 users logging on to this to view information (No editing allowed by the user). I read on some of the previous forums that Multiuser frontend does not work that well. I want to know if this is true even if my users are in read only mode??? I have tried with 3 users and it works with out a hitch. i just want to be sure before i roll out this to the entire 50users. thanks soni
If I want to distribute a front end to connect with a MySQL back end ... do I need to set up the system DSN on each workstation that will be using the front end?
On a webserver certian files are stored above the root directory. Therefor the user of the website can never access those files directly. But he is utlizing that file.
For example: We use Hotmail to see our mails. but we never download the complete database.
So is there a method that we can secure the backend using roaming profiles or something else so the user has a link to the backend but cant directly access the backend.
I have a table called 'students' with the appropriate fields. There is another table named parents_prof which contains records of common professions. The tables are related through the 'ID_parents_prof' of the 'parents_prof' table to two fields on the table 'students', thus 'students.father_prof' and 'students.mother_prof'.
1st question) Is that possible? Is it possible to create a relation between the key field of one table to two different fields of another table? Is it a good practice?
I did this because I want to build a query which checks for both fields together, meaning I want Access to return a record if the appropriate profession is in either field of mother's or father's profession.
FROM parents_prof INNER JOIN students ON (parents_prof.ID_parents_prof = students.mother_prof) OR (parents_prof.ID_parents_prof = students.father_prof)
GROUP BY students.surname, students.name, students.father_prof, students.mother_prof, parents_prof.parents_prof
HAVING (((parents_prof.parents_prof) Like "*" & [enter profession] & "*"));
Access cannot represent the above graphical, so I had to enter the
OR (parents_prof.ID_parents_prof = students.father_prof)
in the SQL formula.
2nd question) Is the above proper query, according to the rules?
I have a report that has a link to open a a form "ProjectDetailsActive" to a specific record ID from the report. It works.
I have 3 subsets of users who have restricted access to the form "Project Details Active". By that I mean that when they open this form, it hides and rearranges some tabs, and disables certain controls. If a user from one of these 3 subsets tries to open the link to a specific record in the form, it does not work. The form opens to the first record available instead of the selected record. This is only a problem for these 3 user groups. For users who do not fall into these 3 groups, the filter works.
This is the only code in the form that does the restriction, but I don't know where the process is going wrong.
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() LoadBudgetPage CancelRsn.Enabled = False 'detect number of line items for current project Me.lblOrderCount.Caption = GetNumRecords & " line items for this project."
Good morning, I am experiencing an extremely strange problem that I will try to explain here...
I have got a subform which goal is only to display a few fields from a database. Not any interaction is made from mother forms, it just displays data, and that's all. It is really simple, and has been created with a wizard.
One of the fields, that is named OrderPart, has got for values either True or False. Most of the times, I don't have any problem, but, only when all the OrderPart fields are set to false, nothing is displayed anymore on the form, like if everything were hidden.
And if I change only one of these values to true, all other rows reappear, including those with the OrderPart field set to false.
The query to get the data is: SELECT subparts.* FROM subparts WHERE (((subparts.repairno)=[forms]![subpart assignment]![reportno])); . Moreover, when I run it outside the form, it always displays all information.
I don't have any filter, my request selects all objects, and I don't have any code, so I absolutely don't understand how this may happen! So if somebody should have a little clue, it should be very nice, thank you very much :D !!!
I have two laptop computers. Both have Access 2010 installed. Both computers are on the same Workgroup and each computer can access files on the other. Computers are connected with wireless connection. Computer 1 holds the backend data while computer 2 is used for data entry and connects to backend on computer 1.Both computers are used for data entry, and as I said, data is stored on computer 1 only.
Here's the problem. If I enter data on computers 1 and then open computer 2 I cannot access the data unless computer 1 exits and then reopens. If computer 1 does not exit and reopen I cannot access the data from computer 2. In addition, if I enter data in Computer 2 and save it then computer 1 can see the data and all is well. So, for everything to work I have to start the data entry in computer 2. If I start data entry with computer 1 then I have to go through the save and shutdown process.
I have tried requery and refresh, refreshpage, refreshrecord, etc, but with no success.
Im totally new at all this stuff, so any help is appreciated.
i have a database with one table that has many different attributes and almost 3000 records. this is all i have done, i have simply been loading in all of the data to the table, now that that is done i need to allow users to extract the data.
so, what is the best way to build a front end that allows the user to easily extract data from the database? ideally, i would like to have some sort of front end that would have a text input window where they could search for records matching attributes in the table that match or are close to the text they type in, with some additional options for honing down the search terms with dropdown menus, radio buttons, etc.
the problem is i really havent a clue on how to do that stuff. can anyone just give some general, beginner type steps for things i should be doing to create that "front end" i am visualizing. THANKS!
I have searched the forum and have found a lot of information however I am not sure just exactly what I am looking for.
Here is my situation.
It is a spilt DB.
I have a database with a form and a subform. The Primary Key in the form is unique to company A ie ID=CompanyA-1, CompanyA-2, and so on. There is a one to many relationship to the subform.
I have three of these databases in use, all identical execpt the Primary Keys. one is CompanyA, the others are CompanyB and CompanyC.
At the end of the month I want all companies, A,B,&C to send me their Backends so I can bring them all together into one database. The master database I want to bring all three backends into has the same Front End as the other three databases.
My question is what is the best way to bring all of the data together in one database so I can use the common front end to view it.
I am assuming that since the PK for each database is different they should all cometogether without much of a problem? If I can figure out how to merge them.
I have a backend-database on a network disk shared by 6 users. All users have a frontend client wich they use to administer the datebase. Everything in the frontend looks ok and they can query the latest data. However if I open up the backend database tables nothing has been updated since the middle of december. If i make a copy of the backend I can open it up and create new posts with ID-numbers that has already been taken by the frontend.
Ofcourse I have doublechecked that the clients are connected to the right backend file (there's only on backend file in the directory).
I need to know the best way to insert data into the backend without cause major bloating of the backend. I am currently inserting about 20k records at a time using an INSERT INTO statement. The backend went from 83mb to 511mb trying to insert the last 20k records.
I have a subform (based on table "Source") that allows the user to create a new record in another table "Events" (it copies some entries to facilitate entering new data). The data should then be dispayed in another subform. However, the newly created redord is does not show in the subform although I use Me.Refresh. When I close the form and then open it again it works - but there has to be an easier way.
How can I reload the data from the table. I have looked but am unable to find the right method.
The code:
'Create New Record in Table Events
Call AddEvent(EventDate, Country) 'This function opens the table and adds a record
I can see which records are missing from the table I want to import to but this query picks up no records: SELECT [Field1] FROM Table_Linked WHERE [Field1] NOT IN (SELECT [Field1] FROM TableA);
Yet, when I run them separately, all fields are displayed.
Am I doing something wrong with the NOT IN part of the sttement that access doesn't like? If you run this in SQL server it works fine.
Hello I have a very important access database running on a Windows 98SE laptop with Access 97 on the laptop. I wish to have that database backep up and opened on an XP machine running Access 2003. The problem is that the laptop is a corporate laptop with lots of security features and the database can only be opened by that laptop. The laptop only has permissions to read the file, so cannot remove the protection. I have tried to copy the system.mdw file across to the xp machine (in the correct directory), but I still get the below error.
The current user account doesn't have permission to convert or enable this database.
To convert or enable a database, ensure the following: * You must join the workgroup that defines the user accounts used to access the database. * Your user account must have Open/Run and Open Exclusive permissions for the database object. * Your user account must have Modify Design or Administer permissions for all the tables in the database, or it must be the owner of all tables in the database. * Your user account must have Read Design permission for all objects in the database. * Request that other users close the database.
I have tried to create a new database on the xp machine and import all the data into a new database, but again I get an error (but only when importing certain forms and macros) below:
"You don't have permission to import, export or link to 'item name'"
I have also tried to create a blank database and import data from the database into it on the laptop, with the same error message above.
Does anybody have any ideas about this one? For example is there a piece of software to remove the protection (not a password remover)? - help appreciated.
I've read some really funny stuff while searching for an answer to this. You're a bunch of really witty types :)
So I'm sure someone can help me - why would this entered data not make it into the table?
I have a form that has a subform. After the subform I have a button to continue. If this is clicked I change the visible property for another field to true. This field appears to work fine, but the data doesn't make it to the underlying table, in fact it sometimes seems to be included in the next record.
I am extremely new to Access. I have my database up and running ok(ish) and would like to know if in my data entry form, I can have the "Date Entered in Database" box display the current date that does not change from day to day. I know you can use the "Now()" function but won't this just change everyday?
I have done some forms and it is the first time that i had this problem: I can input data in several records without having any problem but when i close and save the form and next time i open it ,i do not find my previous records. I checked this in the tables and find that the values that i had input were there but in my form these values had disappeared. Can anyone explai this ..
Also,
Suppose i have 2 tables with NAME set as the primary key and which is linked 1-1. When i create a form for these 2 tables and when i write JO in the name field only once the name JO should automatically be inserted in the other name field i.e i should be able to input only one data. This is not the case. What i should do is : write JO then click in the other NAME field then type something e.g RO then this will be typed auto. in the other Field. Can you also explain this
I have a form with a tab control and each tab has a subform on it. 3 of these tabs/sub forms are continuous forms that allow the user to enter details for the selected job (i.e. on tab has a subform that allows the user to enter various scheduling dates for the job).
If I say have the scheduling tab selected and then change a field in the MAIN form, then click on the new record row in my continuous subform my main form jumps to the first record. However, if I update a field in the main form, select a different tab, then click on the new record row in my subform it works fine. Also, if I click the add record button it works fine as well.
I can't seem to find anything in my code that would cause the jump. Any ideas?
One of my forms has a load of data displayed in it from a query and I would like to allow the user to sort this data by means of some buttons next to each column heading. For instance clicking 'up' next to first name / last name etc will sort ascending on first name, 'down' will sort descending etc. I tried setting up different queries for each sort and changing the record source of the form in the on click event but then the controls don't seem to know where to populate from!!
I am fairly new to Access, and need some help with what I thought would be an easy project. I have an Acceess table that contains data on settings for machines in my plant. There are columns for part #, Machine #, part type, etc. All in all there are about 20 different columns. Now what I need to do is have a form where a user can enter one or two fields, and print a report that contains all the information from all 20 columns.
For example, the user would enter Part number "AB1234" on machine "15-1" and would get the following data from the table:
Part # part code Equip. Temp height etc AB1234 A 15-1 100 5.3 ... AB1234 B 15-1 200 6.3 ... AB1234 C 15-1 250 7.3 ...
They could then somehow choose exactly which record they wanted (example : ABC1234 B) and print a report that contained just the data from that selection.
I hope I explained this clearly enough. Basically I want a user to be able to enter 1 or 2 selection fields and then be able to print a report that contains info from 1 row in 1 table. Any help would be appreciated. I am somewhat new to this and havee a basic understanding of Access and A moderate understanding of VB. Thank you in advance for your help.
I was going to create a new query with the simple query wizard, but as soon as selected a data source I got a message saying "The expression on Got Focus you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: The text you entered isn't an item in the list."
After this I can select a datasource, but the cursor remains in hourglass mode. It almost seems like this is a run-time error, when I am merely trying to create a new query. In addition to which, I haven't set any events to run on "got focus". Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and how it can be fixed?
