General :: Cannot Update - Database Or Object Is Read-only
Aug 24, 2013
I have 2 tables and from them I do a query called "Query_Dates". There, I created 4 calculated fields which compares fields of the two tables previously mentioned.
What I am trying to do is everytime the calculated fields are equal to "Diff", gets the value from the second table (ADHOC) and and puts it in the 1st table (Master_Table). In total there are 4 fields I would change depending on other 4 fields called (CheckRR, CheckQual, CheckProd, CheckCap).
The problem is that it gives me an error 3027, object is read-only.
Below, you can find the code.
Private Sub Comando27_Click()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim rsd As DAO.Recordset
Dim supplierName As String
Set rsd = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Query_Dates", dbOpenDynaset)
Set rst = Application.CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Master_Table" , dbOpenDynaset)
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'm having trouble with my database (Access 2000). I'm trying to export a file into a text file by clicking on a button. Below is the code. Where the code is in bold that is when the runtime error happens.
If i export the code manually by right click on the query > Export then this works, but for some reason by clicking on the button will not work.
Private Sub cmdExport_Click() Dim sExportFilePath As String sExportFilePath = DLookup("[DateExportLocation]", "tblSettings", "[ID]=1") ' Path if file to be exported DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUpDateTransmissionDateAndTime", acViewNormal, acEdit ' Update dates time DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "ExportFile", "qryExportFile", sExportFilePath End Sub
I create a front end and back end that resides on the lan. Front has everything besides the table which resides on the back end. Front ends table are linked to the backend. I have two computer that i am testing it on. Both of them runs Access 2003 runtime and windows has been update to the latest version, both xp machine aswell.Both has user right to read and write to that directory on the lan. Ldr exist when either of them uses access file. The strange thing is when i run a command to copy some data from one table to another one. one of the machine give me the following error "3027 Cannot Update. database or object is read only". While on the other machine it runs flawless. Another weird thing is if i modified some values in table by using forms it works great on both so i am a bit clueless where the problems is. its seems my problem is copying from one table to another. i dont have problem modyfing one table. Here is the code i use to that halt my ms access database.
Dim dbs As Database, rsProposal As Recordset, TES As String, stdocname As String, stLinkCriteria As String
TES = Me![TESID]
If TES = DLookup("TESID", "Proposals", "TESID =" & "'" & TES & "'") Then MsgBox "Proposal Already Exists for TES ID: " & vbCrLf & _ " " & TES, vbOKOnly, "Proposal Already Exists" GoTo Image264_Click_Exit Else If MsgBox("Do You Really Want to Create" & vbCrLf & "a New Proposal for TES ID " & vbCrLf & " " & TES & " ?", 289, "Create New Proposal?") = vbOK Then Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rsProposal = dbs.OpenRecordset("Proposals") With rsProposal .AddNew ![Long_Desc] = Me![Description] ![Short_Desc] = Me![Opportunity] ![Dest_Site] = Me![Install Site] ![TESID] = Me![TESID] ![End_User] = Me![Contractor/Purchaser Name] ![Date_Due] = Me![Proposal Due Date] ![Date_Completed] = Me![Close Date] ![Status] = Me![Status] .Update .Close Set rsProposal = Nothing dbs.Close Set dbs = Nothing End With stLinkCriteria = "[TESID] = " & "'" & TES & "'" stdocname = "Form Prop - Detail" DoCmd.OpenForm stdocname, , , stLinkCriteria DoCmd.Close acForm, "Form TES - Detail" End If End If
I'm relatively new to access. I probably use about one tenth of one percent of what it has to offer because I have trouble understanding it at this time. I need to know how to update a yes/no object.
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.
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.
I am trying to create an update query. I am trying to update a field in a table with the current date as a request.
I have a table named tblTest and a field named Date2 that I am trying to update with the current date, the button that the VBA is applied to is in a form name frmTest. This is my code:
Private Sub Command39_Click() Dim t1 As Date t1 = Date db.Execute("update tblTest set tblTest.Date2") = t1 End Sub
But when I press the button I get: Run time error '424' Object Required
I am having problems opening my databases. Access automatically opens them in 'Read Only' mode, and I cannot find a way to avoid this - so I can never add data to the original tables ....
I have adopted someone elses database. It is a front end with about 100 linked tables/forms/reports/modules. The problem is that the database is really large. I would think by looking at the objects that it should be around 5mb tops, however after compacting it is still 63mb.
Is there a way (vba or otherwise) to look at each object and get its size in KB?
Once I can figure out which object is taking up too much space I can work on making them smaller.
We have a database on a PC located on our network. The database is located in this computer's shared folder. Another database grabs data from this database occasionally. We're running into a problem where we cannot open the DB located in the shared folder (permissions granted) without it being a read only instance even with no users accessing the DB.
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 routinely export queries etc from my development database to the 'live' master database used by users. Every so often I get the error message 'The database Mydatabase.accdb is read only'. Then I can't export anything to it. I don't know why it should suddenly become read only. How do I make the database changeable, and not read only?
I have two separate database files, a front end with all my forms and a back end with all my tables. The backend is stored on a network drive, is there any way of being able to store the frontend on the drive with the backend? Users do not use the actual computer to store information or access files, everything is usually saved on the network drive. I have created a shortcut that launches the front end database in the read only kiosk mode.
I have a 2003 .mdb file and the associated Workgroup Information File which normally resides on a network in a folder V:V-Base-DatabaseDATA. I have the Workgroup Information File.
The database is unsupported and we need to migrate the data to a new web based database.
When I try to open the database with the shift key down I get the following message :
You do not have the necessary permission to use the V:V-Base-DatabaseDATAV-Basebe.mdb object.
What is the best way to access the data and do I need to do this on the server instead of a local drive off site?
I got the user and admin passwords working so that when you open the database it asks you to logon and I set permissions so that users can't delete data from tables only adminstrators can.
I emailed it back to work and still had the original on my workstation saved in a different location when I unzipped new and supposedly improved version into a new folder location now when you open up and add in a new user both versions comes up with the following read only error see picture.
Even on the original database that I didn’t modify or save back to!! Any ideas?
I’ve tried going into the tools/options/advanced setting it to shared or exclusive and no locks, also the properties in explorer comes up with read only and you change and apply and then you go back into properties and read only is back on! :mad:
possible to exclude certain boxes when a form is set to read only?My database essentially has 4 user levels (Developer, Admin, User and Guest), and whenever a Guest opens up a form, the form opens as Read Only and a message box displays telling you this. However on most of these forms, there are search boxes which allows you go straight to a specific record, but they don't modify any data, but because the form is read only, I can't type in these comboboxes. So is there anyway to exclude these boxes from being read only?
I'm having an issue with the database being read only and a type mismatch due to OpenRecordset. I know this database use to work when it when it was just
CurrentSerNum = RecSet(0) +1 was doing the incrementing.
I need the database to increment in a different way now.
Q=manufacture location 1st number is new=0 or used=1 2nd and third number =82 4th is single digit year aka 2015 = 5 6 and 7th are work week aka 25 for this week 8,9,10 are incremental numbers for the units made that workweek, so 001,002,003. Then week 26 starts the increment starts back at 001.
Code: Private Sub MakeThoseProducts_Click() On Error GoTo Err_MakeThoseProducts_Click Dim NumericSerial As Double Dim WorkWeek As String Dim WorkYear As String Dim WorkWeekNumber As Integer Dim WorkYearNumber As Integer Dim Location As String
I have two linked tables (uneditable). They are linked by PersonID and they also have email address in common. For sake of example let's say one table has names of people, and the other table has the address they live at.
I have a user who requires a "datasheet" view of certain columns from each table. No problem, can do that easily in a query.
The issue is that he also wants to have an editable column that would have say "Address Confirmed". Clearly I need another table. If I make a three table query I find no way to edit that new column.
