When attempting to open an Access DB that has been transferred from one network to another (via CD and aeroplane!) we are finding that the copy cannot be edited - the access is effectively read only... I believe this has something to do with Workgroup admin rights but this area is all a bit confusing for me. What do I need to do to open the copy up for editing - allowing the recipients to administrate their copy of the DB?
I've been fiddling around with the Tools>>Security settings but I can't seem to find a way where only I can make changes to the database and the users can't just use the switchboard. If you are regular user you don't need password but if you are admin you do.
I'm new at all this so i'm sorry if it's a silly question, but i've split my db into a front and back end on a server but need to copy them and put a copy onto a laptop for my boss to take somewhere. How do i copy them so that they dont look for the other one in the server folder but on the hard drvie.
I have two pc,s hooked up as a workgroup network( no server) I have a database on one of the pc,s and when I open the database in the other pc it says that it is "read only". So I cant enter new records.
is there any way to use a same database in a network that if i entered some entery and some body else entered another entery it will show all data entered by every people in everyone's computer ?!
Everyone know this error? the database has been placed in state by user "Admin"!
We are using a shared database in Access 2003 that is still in Access 2000 format. When more than one user has the database open (by using the vb.net), the following error message appears "The database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine XXXXX that prevents it from being opened or locked."
How to slove this error? please help! Urgent!:confused:
Hello, Excuse my inexperience, this is not my field. I am a network administrator and have never dealt with this problem before. I have been assigned the task of transferring a database (used by a security company to manage a gated community) to another system. I had to do this because the home owners association is changing security companies and they old security company is taking their computers with them. Now, I copied over all the files i could find and now that I am trying to set it up, I get the infamous error 3033, "you do not have the necessary permissions". I noticed that there is also a secured.mdw file. All i need to know is how to set up this database on a standalone system so that the new security company can access what they need. Thanks in advance for your help -Nima Shariatmadari Euclid Management
I have experienced a problem copying a database from a CDR to the C Drive of a networked machine at work. What happens is that the Database attributes are changed to "Read Only" after being copied. I can change this easily enough but i dont want other users to have the same hassle.
This problem does not occur when i copy the same CDR to my desktop or laptop at home.
Hi, Does anyone have any ideas on how I might prevent a database from being copied. I have an application that I have set up with a number a tools to prevent exporting to an empty Access container, and from accessing the database design via the ShiftBypass feature, but the database can still be copied in its entirety. In some situations I would like to be able to add a feature to prevent this. Any suggestions? FrankC
Can you copy the switch board (and all of its properties) from one database to another? how do you do this? i tried copying and pasting the switchboard from "Forms" But none of the properties in the switchboard manager transfered with it. How do you do this?
The client wants it across a network but insists they do not want it split! They want it in a shared drive which everyone has access to via a shortcut.
The database is secured so I presume the Workgroup file will have to be on each PC and a shortcut to the one database on the server which is in a shared mode. Would the security I have implemented still work or would I have to de-secure so everyone has the same level of access.
They do not have Access on all PC's. IFor this to work I presume Access is needed both on the server and PC's
I understand if I purchase Microsoft Access Developers 2000 it has a feature where I can distribute a database to users without Access? However, am I right in assuming this needs the database to be split.
In the UK are there any suggestions on where I can buy Microsoft Access Developers 2000 ?
This problem is driving me nuts!! I`ve just spent a fair few months creating a database to be used by our sales team, I`ve about finished it and came to trial it with the sales manager. When he is using the database at the same time as me it becomes slow. The design has a front end with all the queries, forms etc and a back end on a server containing the tables. The database was created using Access 2000 and was designed to replace a similair db created on 97 which has a decent speed on the network. The other strange thing is that one particular macro that I`ve been using for the speed tests runs quite slow (about 3 secs) when 2 pcs have the db open but once the macro has run if it is run again it takes typically less than a second to run. What would cause a db to run a macro at different speeds after they`ve been run once? I`ve tried everything I can find on the net to try and improve the speed to no avail. Help please!!
Our office runs on a pretty large Access database (v2003). We are on a large hospital network and have about 15 users for our database. It tends to run VERY, VERY slow. Are there other options?
i have done a database for a library that enables the user to enter the information about the books and search for it, the administrator have the right to enter the info about the books and edit and search the others have more limited rights depending on which group they belong, i used for the connection (currentProject) because i did all the forms and tables in one DB a friend from this forum told me and i think he s right, that if i want to put it on the network i have to separate the forms and the tables ie save the tables and the queries on another database that i put on the network i have a problem 1- im not sure how to connect to another database can i do it like this Dim conDB as ADODB.connection set conDB=new ADODB.connection conDB=openDatabase("the path") or not 2-i have done the result form with a record source (search-query) and then inserted the fields into the form in the design view can i do that with a query if it was from another database or i need to write it all in code (taking into consideration that i havent found how to insert datacontrols and do the binding, because im using french access, that s why i assigned automatically a record source for the form) thanks in advance
I have a database built using Microsoft Access 97-SR2. I want to copy it to another computer (my office computer). I was successful in burning the file to a CD-R disc. However, when I run the database from the disc, a message appears saying its READ ONLY-it apparently makes it Read Only automatically. I want to be able to change and edit the data and the controls, ie. forms, reports, etc. on the other computer. How can I transfer the database my other computer, without it becoming Read Only?
I have a database that the table is located on a sharepoint website. This worked out well in the beginning but now that the database has thousands of records, it has slowed up a bit. What I want to do is at the load of the the database, it will automatically copy Sharepoint table to a local table located on the computer to speed up querys and such.
How do I copy a form from one database that have reports and quaries linked to it to another so that I can change the information in the new database and keep the form style in the old database?
Is there a simple way of copying the same data down a column in Access similar to Excel with its Fill Down Column. I have tryed copying down a column and it only goes one cell at a time or if I copy 5 cells with the same data, I can copy it to 5 empty cells.
I've got a database with several users and we've had two people recently who rather than creating a shortcut to the db on their desktop copied it and then proceeded to enter their data there instead of into the one on the network.
I would like to be able to add a field on the first page they see when they open it with the complete file name / path information. I know how to do it in Word by adding a field to a header or footer. However, I can't seem to figure out how to do it in Access.
My hope is that if I can display the path and then include a dialog box when the database is opened warning users to verify they have the correct version before they enter any information.
Alternatively, is there a script I could write that would have the db check that it's the V drive copy not a C drive copy?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi everyone, I am hoping someone will be able to help me with a problem I have. I am undertaking a social network analysis and in order to do this I need to be able to create a matrix with the following format:
Group Person J Smith G Fowles M Jones X 1 0 1 Y 0 1 0 Z 1 1 0
I also need to be able to store and retrieve personal and group level details. Note that people can be in more than one group and groups can have more than one person. My problem is that the data has been gathered by another institution and is only available in the following (Excel) format.
Group Person Role Group Characteristic ..... X J Smith Strategist Level One X M Jones Supporter Level One Y G Fowles Financer Level Three Z J Smith Strategist Level Ten Z G Fowles .... Level Ten
Any idea how I can go about doing this? I know how I could do it if I manually entered the data, but because there are literally thousands of individuals (and a whole heap of groups too) I am hoping hoping hoping that I can do it using Excel and Access. Any advice would be incredibly appreciated.
I was using the database when there was a network error and I had to close it. When I tried to reopen it I got the error message: Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'MSysAccessObjects'. I logged off the PC and logged back on various others, but keep getting the same message. Can anyone tell me if this is terminal or is there a way around it. I do have a backup, but it's a few days old and a lot of work will need re-entering' so any help would be appreciated!!
We have 11 computers on the network. One has an Access back end file. When we try to open this file via the network some of the computers can open it others get the follwing message.
"Microsoft Access cannot open this File
This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open the file due to potential security problems.
To open the file copy it to your machine or an accessible network location."
Do not understand why all the coputers cannot open the same access database file. Please Help Regards Keith

I have a database stored in a folder, and this folder can be accessed through a Network.
Is there a way to protect users from copying this folder to other areas? That is I would like to restrict access from users copying the folder where the database is stored.
