Where To Begin With Security
Aug 24, 2005
Currently have several access databases (with SQL backend) in use in our company - certain people see all of them, certain people can only see some of them. This is just basically controlled by putting certain ones on their desktops and not others.
Looking to get a complete security lockdown on all of them - eg one main screen where a password is entered and that defines which other ones can be opened and which screens within the current one can be viewed.
What are the security/password options in Access?
Is it able for instance to base the level of security on our network login name/password?
Or do you need to enter a password every time you open Access which then is used somehow to define access rights to each screen and each database.
Any advice apreciated.
Thanks

I have a table set up like this:
Client,ServiceDate,Service1,Service2...Service7,Ms g01,Msg02...Msg20
The Service fields may or may not have values under each, depending on the number of services performed for the client, and they are always entered consecutively (i.e. Service1 will always have a value).
The Msg fields are similar to Services as they are filled in consecutively. They relate to all of the services in that record, so any values in the Msg fields are associated with each Service for that record.
Ultimately I need to see the information so it shows each service and each Msg that was associated to it.
So if a record was Service1=Repair, Service2=Clean and Service3=Grease and values in Msg01=4123, Msg02=1531 and Msg03=1234 I would expect to see:
Repair 4123
Repair 1531
Repair 1234
Clean 4123
Clean 1531
Clean 1234
Grease 4123
Grease 1531
Grease 1234
I don't know where to begin. I was thinking maybe a crosstab, or a pivot table but I am lost at this point. Any help would be much appreciated!!

So I have a layout formulated in my head on how I want this to look but I'm really unsure of what all I need to setup to make this happen. I've never been fond of pivot tables and due to this don't utilize them much to know how to appropriately use it in this instance.
The attached pic file shows how I'd like the form to be setup. There will be fluff at the top that basically signifies what the record is (i.e. name of the jobsite). (A) is a drop down that will list a bunch of categories (bathroom, kitchen, laundry, etc.) Upon selecting that it will populate (C) for the subcategories relative to the main category (A). (C) is a list of part names that are associated with (A). The Column heading (B) is the Plan number which there can be 3 different plans or 5 different plans. The inside data (D) is the count of each part (C) used in each Plan (B) (i.e. 2 sinks in Plan 1, 3 sinks in plan 2, etc). Listed right below that number I want to link a picture (E) showing what that, for example, sink looks like.
So I'm not sure which tables need to be created to make this Pivot Table work. I know it's not an easy solution but if someone could take a little time to help me figure it out I'd appreciate it.

Hi, I am hoping someone can help with this problem.
I have a table which has an autonumber field, set to increment by 1. I would like this to start not from 0 but from, say 1000. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

I am using a simple " >= [BeginDate:] and <= [EndDate:]" in the criterion section of a query to allow a date range to be selected in the query which is used in a report. How can i get that [BeginDate:] and [EndDate:] info available to print on the report so it shows the actual date range being displayed in the report ? thanks.

I just came across a problem that I didn't recognize before. I had an invoice table and corresponding form that had an autonumber for the invoice number. The problem now is that I would like the invoice number to begin at 256 and then increase incrementally, because I had some previous invoices from my books. How to go about doing this.

Is there a way to format a memo field to ensure that sentences begin with capital letters. There might have been something in the strConv function, but it seems my hopes are dashed?

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.

Hi
I am experimenting in creating security of a database, and elements within.
I started by creating a user account with a password. I then made a few mistakes, so wanted to delete the mdb, and start again.
However, when I now try to create a new database, or even open a pre existing database, I am asked for the user and password created in the now-deleted mdb.
Apart from the fact that it shouldn't ask for the user name and pasword created in the first database, I am sure it doesn't accept the password I intered in creating the account.
The easy solution would be to delete the file where Access stores user accounts. Where is it, and is it protected, such that I can't delete it? And even if the user name and password still exists somewhere, it should only apply to the database in which it was created, shouldn't it?
Thanks
Robert

Hi all,
Just looking for a little advice on data protection. I have a split database which is accessed from the front end (forms only). All data is stored on the back end, which is hidden away from the user.
The database is password protected, and both sides use a login authentication to avoid unwanted access. However, the usernames and passwords are easily retrievable by opening the database a text document.
Any ideas on how to make this more secure?
Cheers

I try to play Security.
After I created it, the shortcut is created on the screen.
Everytime needs to click the shortcut to login it.
But, when I go to database file, and then click it, it does not work, it will show the following message:
You do not have the necessary permissions to use the <name> object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you. (Error 3033)
You do not have the necessary permissions for the specified object. To change your permission assignments, see your system administrator or the object's creator.
So, is it ony the shortcut to login it?
if delete the shortcut uncarefully, how to do it??
Thanks.

Hi,
Problem 1:
I setup a security, stored the security file and other files in the drive D:
it works.
after I move the files to the drive C:, then it doesn't work.
Why it doesn't work?
Problem 2:
After I created security, there are acc.mdb, acc.bak, and Secured files, right.
how can I add this link:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" "D:acc.mdb" /WRKGRP "D:Secured.mdw" in the target to the acc.mdb file.
Because when it doesn't work, and then I created a shortcut of the acc.mdb file, then add the above code. Then it works, it give out the prompt.
Does any method instead of this, better than this?
Please let me know, thanks.

Hi
When using security login, can we logout and then login to the database without shutting down the database and re-opening.
Such as using a button to logout and then another to login.

Hi,
I have now finished my system that will run on a windows network. I now need to get the security setup so different users can access different pages.
I have set a list of users and specified what forms/tables they can access. The problem is, how does access know who is accessing the pages? For example, i have set 2 users - Dave G & Dave S - I have given Dave G access to the admin forms as he is the admin and I have given Dave S access to the general data input forms.
How is this enforced? How does access know which person is opening the forms. Unless access asks the user to login using their user name set in access, I cannot see how it can manage what users can do what.
Thanks

First of all, i am pretty new to this....
We have a few access databases in a network. More and more people in our organization are using the databases so I am learning to create some user-level security.
We have access 2000.
Access links to a WIF to create user-level security.
But I think there is an easy way that anyone can get pass that.
Even if I have set all the groups and users privileges and restrictions, anyone can simply switch from one WIF to another WIF, then they would have changed all their privileges and restrictions.
Am I understanding this correctly?
If so, what can I do better secure the database.
Another question:
How can I prevent someone from simply copy/delete the access file from windows? I am afraid that someone, maybe a disgruntled employee or even myself making stupid mistakes, delete the whole access .mdb file, and I would loss everything.
I do backup the file, but even if I back it up every night, if something like this happens, i would have lost a whole day of work.
Your advice are highly appreciated.
Thank you all for your help.

Hi,
I followed the security wizard and everything worked fine. However, when I move the database to another computer or another folder, it prints this message:
'You don't have the necessary permission to use (path)...'
Is there anyway to avoid this please?

Access security is really very confusing, thought I had conquered it but I was wrong. I have been playing with a test DB. How on earth do you reset a password for a user? I just can't see where you go to assign a new password.
Managed to clear the password but then got stuck.

Hi,
I have a question for user-level security and workgroup.
Suppose we setup user-level security and have a workgroup with storing all username, password, and groups,
if adminstrator want to change one user permission, let's say that change the user permission from update to read permission only, then the user should only have read permission, right. However, previously, the user copied the workgroup file himself before adminstrator change his permission, if he apply to his copied workgroup file, and log in the database, he can still have update permission.
So, how do I prevent the user using his copied workgroup file for the database?
How can I solve it?
Thanks.

Hi again
The security on my database so far is justthe standard everyone has a user name and a password, no one can alter the design of a form apart from me
I am just wondering if there is any way that I can prevent people viewing and altering tables, queries etc. It would be good if when the open the database the main form comes up so they can navigate from that and they are always taken back to this and they can never see the database window
Does this have anything to do with front end and back end databases?
Sorry its a bit vauge but hopefully you will know what I mean
thanks
