General :: Multi Users Making Synchronous Changes To SharePoint List In Citrix Environment
May 27, 2013
I currently have the following setup for my database which is working as desired when only being used by one user at a time:
Front end: Access 2010 database in Citrix
Back end: SharePoint List
The problem is that only one user can open the Access Database at a time since this action locks the database for other potential users. The locking occurs due to this link to the back end SharePoint list.
allow multiple users to update the SharePoint list through the access database at the same time?
I have a Access data base (2007) which i splitted and store the back end database in a file server where all users have full control and the individual copies of front end put in the users computers. Unfortunately when one user is using the programme, others can not use. Following error msg appears. Both back end and front end are running under shared mode ( not exclusive ).
"Could not use xxxxxx_Be.accdb; file already in use."
thank you all for your help. i haved searched and i did not find an answer. i have splitted my database which is on the citrix server and put the b/end on the shared drive and put the front end on my document on the users desktop. my question when one is using the form the other cannt use the same form? why is that?? how can i fix that. i would like users to use the same forms to enter data at the same time. thank you
I have a multiuser data entry form which on using somtimes gets inactive, means the button stop working and we have to close the form and open again to avoid.
I've got a database in Access 2007 that keeps track of client data for work. It's been working fine for about a month, and suddenly today other users can't change any information because the records are suddenly locked when accessed from their accounts.
I've already checked that they can't update forms, tables, nothing.
I've checked the database properties, it defaults to shared with no locks.
I've checked the properties of my forms - no locks.
I've double checked the permissions to the folder that the database is in - no restrictions.
I need to allow my MDB to have 15 users accessing at the same time. They will be updating different parts of the same table using different forms. The system will also do an automatic update from another system in 15 mins interval.
Is it possible? If so, how do I configure my access database?
Can anyone give me some ammo to tell me boss what a safe number of users of an access database is. It is a well built database that runs quickly and effiecently but I need to know at what point this will be put at risk. 100 users? 200+? I am running the database a FE/BE with the client sitting on each users pc and the BE sitting on a server. The network is 10/100.
I'm in the process of rolling out a new database that will require some data entry from approximately 35 users.
I have been told that database corruption WILL (not might) occur if more than one user is in the database at a time, which I find hard to believe. I was told that if multiple users who have different permissions levels are in the DB at the same time, this will cause corruption.
Has anyone heard anything like this?
Also, there will only be one or two forms that my users will be using for data entry. The rest is report running. If I set the value Record Locks on the form to EDITED RECORD, will this prevent corruption?
Any input you could provide is very much appreciated. I haven't been able to find any info specific to this issue.
I have multiple users entering data on bound forms. I have three required fields, all in the first 3 fields of the form. My question is, can I program something to where Access will update the record, after the 3rd required field, so that other users are not having to wait to enter there new record?

I have a problem in multi user enviroment, with finding and locking a record in database.When one user finds, blocks and edit record ... another user in the same time can find the same record and overwrite it (User and Status values). It is just like he didn't see the changes making by another user.Each user have a copy of the front-end, back-end is on the shared disk.Here is the code to find new record:
Code: ... Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblTable1", dbOpenDynaset) rs.FindFirst "[Status]='New' And [User] Is Null" ws.BeginTrans rs.LockEdits = True rs.Edit rs![User] = username rs![Status] = "Assigned" rs.Update ws.CommitTrans rs.Close
I use access to gather information on testing that is conducted at my company. In the database I designed I set up a multiselect list box for when the people who conducted the test can check off the test equipment that they used. I did this because at anytime any number of different items can be used. Though I don't think we have ever used more then 10 test items. The reason for tracking the items that were used is if they, when out for yearly calibration, come back out of spec we can look at what tests used that equipment. As I further develop my system, I am starting to ask for more information from the requesters. I would like them to be able to check off what individual items are in the item being tested. Creating that list isn't the hard part for me.
My question comes in here. I know that using a multiselect list box is frowned upon as they can be sloppy to deal with when looking to extract data. Being as I am looking to expand my database, I was looking for what to do. I would still like to give the option of a multiselect list box, but should I create more fields and have the items used put into these new fields? Should I do the same for equipment that is used for the testing. If not and the list box is ok, how best to go through all the records to gather what ones used the specified equipment?
I am making a form at work for a coworker with cascading combo/list boxes where she can select a Customer, then Platform Description, then Period, then Year. I used VBA code for this and it's working perfectly - for single selection. I want to update this so she can select multiple Platform Descriptions and/or Periods and it will give all the applicable info.
I can use or a way to set up a query, etc. so that multi-select will work for me? Unfortunately, just changing the formatting to multiselect makes the listbox just blank white, so I'm assuming it's going to be more complicated.
(Here's the code I currently have for the cascading combo/list boxes, if you need it. SD0039DA_T is the table name where my listboxes are pulling info from.)
Code: Option Compare Database
Private Sub Form_Load() On Error Resume Next CustomerCB.SetFocus PlatformDescriptionL.Enabled = False PeriodL.Enabled = False YearCB.Enabled = False End Sub
I am having trouble using a form as input for a query. The form uses multi select list boxes, with then intention being that if I select multiple fields then only records which include those fields will show (not only fields that contain those and no others).
I also have successfully worked up some keyword searches that I would like to have run on the same query. So say I want to search for two values in my list box, and it also needs to include keyword X... how would I run these all together, or is it possible?The form is "EVR Search Form"..The query is "EVR Query - Trending Filters" and I've also made a copy to test on, "Copy EVR Query - Trending Filters"
I am importing data from a sharepoint list on to Access 2007, as linked data where any changes I make on Access is made to the list and vice versa. However, I recently made a change to one of the column types and this change is not being made on Access. I have changed a column type from choice to single line of text but I still see the list of choices when I access the list on Access 2007.
I have refreshed the list by right clicking the linked list and pressing refresh list. The list is set to not cache the list and is not set to work offline so cannot see why the change is not being made. I don't want to mess with the list be removing it and re-adding it as I have multiple queries set up which are being fed in to an excel file I use to create reports from the data. I have no knowledge of VBA, so there is none of that being used on Access.
I found 2 examples of code to refresh my attached table link to sharepoint lists.
I have a scheduled task open my Access 2010 db and an autoexec macro runs and closes the db.
My problem is my tables disconnect from sharepoint 2010 and the update fails.
I added the code I found to a module and added a line in my macro to run the code. Now I cannot get the code to work.
Am I at least on the right track? I just want to know before I spend many hours getting this code to work.
These are the two locations of code I found.

I think part of my problem is that I have a regular table that I add a txt file to that is not linked to sharepoint so I need to exclude it from the code.
My data is on Sharepoint. I have a simple Crosstab query that works well unless I choose the option "Cache List Data". In that case I get a Type Mismatch error.
Code: TRANSFORM Sum(PivotData.QuoteTotal) AS SumOfQuoteTotal SELECT PivotData.FullName FROM PivotData GROUP BY PivotData.FullName PIVOT PivotData.StatusText;
I am developing a small database for use in a multi-user environment: I have split the tables off and am testing with two copies of the front-end on different machines. All seems to work well except on one form.
On this form, the value of a bound control (exposed as a number of radio buttons) is used to make related controls on the form visible or invisible. I use the AfterUpdate event to trigger appropriate VBA code to accomplish this; it works well.
However if two users have the same form open at the same record (unlikely, but not impossible), and User A changes the value of the control via the radio buttons, Access will eventually propagate the change to User B's copy of the form but the AfterUpdate event will not be triggered and the form becomes inconsistent. I understand that events are only triggered when a user makes a change to a control; how can I be alerted when Access makes a change?
I have a list (table) that I've created in sharepoint 2010.I link to the sharepoint table with Access 2010 to update mass amounts of items at once. Some of the queries have no problem updating the sharepoint items, but other queries require me to "Enter Paramater Value."
In this particular queries; I'm trying to populate field A with dates from field B, when field A is null.
--------------------- UPDATE Table 1 SET Table.[FieldA] = [FieldB] WHERE (((Table 1.[FieldA]) Is Null)); --------------------
When I run the above, I receive the "Enter Parameter Value" input box.All records have Field B populated (it's actually the created date.)
The goal is for field A to be populated with the values in Field B, without the query asking for parameters.
Note; I can go in each individual record and update them via access, one at a time. But it's the running of the update query that failing.
I'm working on a Access 2003 mdb file. I want the database to start commonly without any user-login screen. Nevertheless I want to prevent the default logged in user from making any changes to the database structure, using the tables and examing the VBA code.
Because of some strange guidelines I have to respect those changes have to be directly made to the mdb file itself (if possible) so no additional worgroup file is created.
I have a table in my Access 2010 Database with few date/time fields. I have set different formats like Short Time, Medium Time etc. But when I link this table to Sharepoint list, all the date/time fields have been modified to their default format (General Date).
Is there a way we can keep the formats as such even after linked to Sharepoint list? If not, is there a workaround?
I'm having some issues with a database that I have created. All this time only one user would be in the database. But now I have 2 to 3 people at a time in the database. I get an error and its not letting the users put any information in.
I have it split into a FE and BE. I have it set to share. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code: Private Sub cmdPreview_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Handler 'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box. Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items
