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.
View RepliesWe 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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWe 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.
All,
I'm getting the following message in Access and it's causing all kinds of headaches for the user. Any ideas why it's appearing and how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
The database I am working with suddenly says that is ready only, and I cannot make changes! How can I make it not read only?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBeen 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 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)

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'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?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a shared database and at times the database name changes to db1 when somebody is working on it. It doesn't happen all the time or with specific user.
For example if my database name is Incentive.mdb it will automatically change to db1.mdb when its opened and saved.
I have a VB6 project that connects to a Access database. I get a run time error when I try to copy the database as a backup - "You attempted to open a database that is already opened exclusively..."
I need to be able to copy this database while it is still open. How do I work around this?
Thanks Steven

View 1 Replies View RelatedHey there, when a user opens my database, I want the form to enter records to automatically open. Can someone plz help with that... thx
View 3 Replies View RelatedOne of the forms in my database has a calculated text box control. The calculation is conditional, one condition being based on current date. One of the queries display that calculation. If the the form with the calcualted control is not opened before running the query, the calculated control uses the day the form was last opened as the "current date" which is not what I want. I want to do one of two things:
Either: (Preferably): update the form everytime the database is opened, so that the current date is actually the current date and not when the form in question was last opened.
Or: Update the form first before the query in question is run. This is not preferred because, if I use the calculated control in another query or something, I have to have another "update" step.
I have the following code which errors on line
Code : .OpenDataSource Name:=CurrentProject.FullName, SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM [qryMailMerge]"
The error (Error has occurred: The database has been placed in a state by user 'Admin' on machine 'W74XXXXXX' that prevents it from being opened or locked) appears in the Word document.
Code:
Public Sub CreateWordToPDF(strWordFile As String, strPDFFile As String, strSQL As String)

Dim objWord As Word.Application
Dim docWord As Word.Document
'Open MS Word using early binding.
Set objWord = New Word.Application
Set docWord = objWord.Documents.Open(strWordFile)

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
I want to see Which tabel was opened, who and when opened it.
And if possible I want to see what is changed.
I want to see as I mentioned above as a "log file"
Thank you

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

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)
