Database Stored On Server Read-only?
May 23, 2014
I have created a database with multiple user and I have stored it on a file server. The remote users have been given read write permission on the server. However when the person opens the database it is read only. I have not to my knowledge made the file read only as I am able to work off the same file from the server. I made sure that no one was using the database when It was opened but it still comes up as read only. She is able to access the database and work in it but she is not able to modify anything and she does have permission within the database to do so.

I'm working in Access 2010. I created a database that I want to post in a server on the read-only mode, so that users can not change forms or querys. How can I do this in Access 2010?

I have created a stored procedure parameter query and using access created a report that runs the procedure and creates a report based on a parameter entered:
1) I wanted to know if I can specify a default paramter so if I do not input it returns all records?
2) Can I create a stored procedure so it asks for month, for example if I had a createdDate field of data type datetime and wanted to return records for a specific month?

I'm not sure which is the better of two options-
My problem is I need to make it easy for my users by authenticating themselves once when they open the database. User-level security is adequate for that job, but when I need to use the authentication information for connection string, I'm a bit antsy about storing it somewhere in Access, as I understand that passwords shouldn't be stored in the database itself (and as far as I can tell, it's not even encrypted or hashed!)
I am wondering if converting it to MDE would be sufficient to encrypt the password or will it still be apparent using a hex editor? I also know that Jet can try to use its own security to authenicate to the back-end, but not sure what I need to do to prompt Jet to pass along the credentials.
Alternatively, would it be better to somehow implement login using backend's security model, if even possible?
TIA.

I am currently upgrading to win 2003 servers. When I open an access 2000 database on the server I get a read only warning.
I have check all the permissions to allow the users access, but the warning remains.
I do not have the problem with any other documents on the server.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate a response.

I need to open an Excel file that has been stored in the Access Database using the insert Object functionality of MS Access manually.
What i am aware of is that i cant just read the field containing the Excel File into a Byte Array and pass it to the Excel object in C#,as the file is wrapped in the OLE Wrapper used by Access while inserting the file in database.
I have tried locating the Header of Excel file from the byte array and read the file from there on but it is not working.
while (true)
{
if (0xE11AB1A1E011CFD0 == BitConverter.ToUInt64(byStream, i))
break;
i++;
}
output.Write(byStream, i, byStream.Length - i-1);
byStream is a byte array into which i have read the Excel file from Database.
I am locating the Excel file header in the byte stream and am writing the byte array to a file from that location.But on opening the written file it dosent work.
Similar approach had worked in case of Images but now in this case.
Can some one please tell me as to how i can open the Excel File.
Can I use Interop.Access object to achieve the goal??

I have a question regarding the display of a list of numbers that are stored into a field of my database. Currently the numbers are comma-delineated which is fine with me, but I was wondering if there is a way to change the display of those numbers on the form so that it is easier to read.
Example:
current format - 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,10
desired format - 1-4, 7-10

I am using asp and database to store info for example link addresses. Unfortunately, they have become stored in database column with a # on either side. I have tried find and replace but this does not work on # symbol. It can not be stored as a hyperlink because I need my website to extract info from remote database and then display info in results page as a hyperlink. Works fine if I remove them by hand but there are 3000 of them!

Hi, I am trying to create a database from scratch, however I need multiple users to have access to it. I do this nearly everyday and have no issues on the LAN we use.
This week I have been struggling to create a database on a different LAN. I create the database however I get the message that it is read only when I close it and enter it again. This means that other people are also unable to open it at the same time, and when they managae, they only get read only access.
Could this be a strange unfamilar-to-me LAN set up? Or is there something fundamental that I am not doing when creating this database?
Thanks for any help

hello,
You helped me solve my linking issue with my front-end/back-end database, but I've got another question. Whenever I open up the front-end ( the shortcut to it anyway), I can't open it in edit mode- only edit. Even if I do a fileopen and select the type of open I want, it doesn't work. How do I open it in edit mode so I can link the table?
thanks again

Hi All,
I created a database in Access and of course password protected the backend version. As a matter of course I backed up the mdb to cd in case of emergency.
Our network has been taken down due to some virus being bought in by a laptop user so I wanted to reinstall the mdb from the cd to my c: drive.
The problem is that the file is saying that it is 'Read Only' which I think is down to the password protection i put on there.
Question:
Is there a way I can get round the security?
I promise I am not a hacker!
Cheers
Smudger

I would like to tweak my database so that when it opens for the users it will not show the minimize, maxamize, and close buttons at the top. Also, I would need code that will maximize my forms automatically. Let me know if this is not a good idea? I am trying to eliminate someone thinking that the close button will act as a cancel button. I dont want them to save information on accident since access saves automatically! (I already have a close without saving button on every form but people are used to closing document to not save them)

I have a database running for the last 6 or so years (A97) and have the ctl-shift disable enable code in it to stop people tinkering about with it.
The database was aparently working fine yesterday and today it's decided to be read-only so no-one can update the data.
It's on a server - all permissions ok and not read-only.
I can't get the disable/enable code to work either. So basically, it's locked for any development changes and it's locked for any data changes.
The IT boys are going to take a backup from the tapes of the server and re-install it, so it should be ok, but I've never had this happen before and the database is used daily for the last 6 years with no problems.
Any speculative thoughts?
[edit] I have done a search and couldn't find anything that fitted the situation
Thanks

I am having problems with ODBC Access data source name. When I want to display some database data in a html table on a webpage there is no problem. But when I send data from a html form to the database I get an OLE DB error. (I am using ADO). I can't remember the message exactly but it was something like
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access driver] The command must be execute on a query which can be edited.
insert.asp, line 50
For some reason my database is read-only. And I don't want that. I tried
1. ODBC administrator deleting and creating a fresh System DSN, checked if there Read-Only wasn't marked on.
2. Deleted my browser cache.
3. Restarted computer several times again
4. Installed MDAC 2.8 again.
btw. I have created the table with MS Access XP and i am using Windows XP.
Below is my code.
[code]
<FORM ACTION="insert.asp" METHOD="post">
Barcode: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="a1" SIZE="15"><BR>
Artist: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="a2" SIZE="40"><BR>
Album: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="a3" SIZE="50"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear"><BR>
</FORM>
<%
a1 = request.Form("a1")
a2 = request.Form("a2")
a3 = request.Form("a3")
if ((a1 <> "") and (a2 <> "")) or ((a1 <> "") and (a3 <> "")) then
Set db=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
db.ConnectionTimeout=40
db.Open "DSN=pieter", "admin"
sql = "INSERT INTO albums VALUES ('"&a1& "','"&a2& "','" &a3& "')"
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
<----- Here is the error ----> db.execute sql
db.close
Set db=Nothing
end if
%>

I have a FE DB that I have been opening and closing at various times without incident. Now all of a sudden it only opens as READ ONLY. I can't find anyone with a BE open that might be causing this. What will cause this? If I save a copy and then replace the original will I lose my data?

Does anybody know if there is a quick way of making a database read-only (so no data input OR design priviledges).
Ive had a request to send somebody a database so they can look at the data but not add/amend etc. The only thing I can think of is adding a security workgroup and assigning read only permissions. But this seems a bit long-winded and I wondered if I was missing something obvious like a 'save as - read only' option.
Any ideas.
Thanks,
Adam.

This is what I would like to achieve
Each time a person comes into our building, they use a electronic key. The information is recorded into a text file. I would like to extract information as described next
The date from the line marked D. Date is marked in bold
The time from the line marked T. Time is marked in bold
The key number and Location from the line marked M. Key Number & Location is Marked in Bold
Sample of the text file:
D[ Fri 30/04/04 ]
T[ 08:19 ]
M[ Valid key:130 Ing group, tenancy:SUNCITY, door:Lower Roller Dr, panel:SURF CITY. ]
N[ 0 2 0 0 5 23 1 0 0 0 130 2 ]
D[ Fri 30/04/04 ]
T[ 08:22 ]
M[ Valid key:20 LEAD NGUYANST, tenancy:SUNCITY, shaft:0, panel:SURF CITY. ]
N[ 0 1 0 0 5 16 1 0 0 0 20 2 ]
D[ Fri 30/04/04 ]
T[ 08:23 ]
M[ Valid key:556 Ing Group, tenancy:SUNCITY, door:Lower Roller Dr, panel:SURF CITY. ]
N[ 0 2 0 0 5 23 1 0 0 0 556 2 ]
…..and so on the text goes
I am reasonably familiar with access but I have not had any experience with Text Files . Could someone post a sample db that would give me a starting point. any information would be appreciated.

Hello,
I have a MS Access 2000 database application stored on a Novell Network server and being shared more than 20 users. However, occasionally, different users, who want to open it in the morning have the error message The database 'Name' is read-only. Therefore, those users can NOT run any action or procedure queries/reports. To resolve, we have to disconnect all the current users, who previously open the database, then everybody can open WITHOUT the "read-only" error!!??
Please advise any permanent solution to avoid the "read-only" issue without disconnect all the users who already open the database?
Thank you so much.

I'm sure it's not random, but it doesn't seem to follow any sort of rules. My database has become "Read Only" 3 times now causing all workers using the database to stop work until IT can fix the issue. All IT does is kick everyone out of the folder that my db is in and suddenly it is no longer read only.

Been using XP all this time, just got a new computer with Windows 7. Still using old Access 2000, not my call to update as this is the decision of the guy who owns the database.
Anyways, I opened Access for the first time, just a blank database so I can set up the user account. When I go to Tools > Security > User and Group Accounts and try to assign a password to Admin, I get the error message that it cannot update because the database is read only.
Where did this come from? I have never seen this message before, and the person who owns the database has a couple computers with Windows 7 that I have set this up on and did not run into this issue.
I realize that there can be some compatibility issues with Windows 7 and Access 2000 but it has worked on other Windows 7 computers, and not using the virtual XP mode.

I have read only access to a database maintained by a vendor. I am using an append query to search for new records in that database every time my database opens through a macro. This adds any new records to my table. I then add additional information to each record in my table. This is newly acquired information, not calculated, and it is different for each record.
My question is can I keep my table up to date with the vendor table without running the append query macro at open every time as my database may remain open for extended periods of time during updating of records.

I have a simple database that is on a desktop that I have a shared folder and have not had issues till now. What would cause it so say, "This database has been opened read-only." Nothing has changed. Only thing my co-worker did was reboot the machine a few days ago.

We have an application that copies a mde file local and then runs it under msaccess 2003.
It runs fine as a local administrator when using the application.
When a regular user logs onto the system then it opens with a read only message. It does not create the ldb file.
The mde works fine if launched directly as regular user or as an admin.
This same application works fine on other PCs with anyone logged on.
The application is developed locally but we have lost the source code.
