Im seeking for a solution to prompt all user with windows alert for Notification
Case 1:One staff applied leave and clicked "Submit" , after clicked I want the system will prompt his/her Supervisor for his/her leave approval or like a notification that the Supervisor need to go somewhere to approve (Selected Supervisor)(Maybe the Supervisor need to 7x24 Opening the access database).
Hi there!
I have a question:
Is it possible from a form to have a field (hyperlink - I suppose) where when the user cliks it opens windows prompt (like when you do a "Open" in a word document) and the he/she can select a desired file/folder then click OK (or something) and it puts the exact path to the previously selected file into the field!
Do you get what I mean? Is this possible?
Thank you for your help
All of the sudden I get an error message when I try to open my database from a file rather than through Access. If I open Access first and open the file that way, there is no problem but if I click on it from Windows Explorer, I get the error.
See picture.
I've got a database that allows all users to review an address register. If they find errors or mostly get updated information they have another form they can fill out to make the recommended changes. Only I have access to the main DB to make the change permanent.
The question I have is there a way for Access to send me a notification that someone has requested the change?
I know that sending an email is doable - in Access. However, that's not an option for our network here. I was thinking something along the command prompt "Net Send" command. However I've not been able to get that to work by itself - let alone within Access...
I have used VB code in the past to store what PC is using the database, I could modify that to alert me whenever I open the DB up from my PC. But I was trying to get away from having to open this particular DB up every day and check for changes.
I have several data entry forms in my DB. What I would like to do is capture the windows user name of the people adding records and changing records. How do I go about doing that? I was think of an on change event to a given field that would then pull the username and insert it in another field/object.
Lets say the an on change of me.cmbModel update txtUserName.
I want to deploy an access database at a small office with 5 computers, small network. However I do not intend to create a server in order to have a domain etc. Operating system is win 8.1 pro. Should I use a homegroup or workgroup ? Would it require password in case of workgroup? Which is a recommended way to setup this and keep some security like a guest cant access these files?

However, when I close the db it prompts me to enter a password (not normal) and when I enter it it says invalid password. Also, when I try to change my password it says invalid password and when I try to compact and repair my db it say invalid password.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a multi user database in Access 2000 that is on a server. The individual users have shortcuts pointing towards the server instance. One user and one user only when opening the shortcut gets the error "you do not have exclusive rights to the database" .
All other users can enter the database with no error box. I have checked the advanced setting under options and they are correct. Ironically if you go to start and open access then navigate to the database shortcut. It opens with no error.
Hi,
I have a form with some bound fields and some unbound fields. If I make any change to the bound fields I can use the "Before update" event to perform some actions when a user tries to move onto a new record.
What I now need is if a user doesn't make any change to the bound fields but makes a change to an unbound field - how can I check this before the next record is displayed. Is there any event I can use? Each time a user tries to move to a new record I want to check first if they have added anything to an unbound field.
Users can move onto the next record using buttons or the record navigator at the end of the form.
Many Thanks,
I have a form in continuous forms mode...
Each entry is something the user is supposed to check on once and hour and update.
I have a "Last updated" field.
Now() goes into that field every time the record is updated.
I have a querry that will show the users records that are over an hour old.
How can I get Access to pop-up a window or something to alert the user they need to look at something? It would be really nice if Aspect would start blinking in the task bar or something.
Thanks!
We have a function that will allow a user to navigate to a text file and import it to a database. I've been asked to make it import ALL the text files from all sub-directories in the directory IF they've never been imported before (based on FileName and LastModifiedDate). I've set up a table to track what's getting imported (tbl_ImportHistory). I'm thinking what I need to do is use the previous coder's GetFileName function in a recursive loop removing the navigation request and adding the comparison and then, if it imports the file, the name and date need to be added to the tbl_ImportHistory table. But I'm completely unsure of how to do it.
I'm posting the GetFileName function below. I believe once I've got it modified the rest of the code can be left intact as it just parse's and loads whatever file is selected in the GetFileName function.
<code>
Function GetFileName() As String
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
fd.AllowMultiSelect = False
Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant

What I would like to do is create a form that lets the user browse for an excel file, then will click an "import" button which then imports all the fields in excel into a table.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an access 2007 database that is split front end and back end. There are about 15 users and the backend is stored on the network. Currently I am e-mailing out the FE when chagnes are made so they have the latest copy.
With everything I have read I think a bat file would work the best at allowing me to make changes on demand without having to continually email out new versions of the FE. Sometimes the changes are behind the scenes unnoticable to the user while others are obvious.
Questions: Exactly HOW does a bat file work? When the user clicks on the access file stored on their laptop? Where is the bat file stored? I am unfamiliar with where to write the bat file code as well - notepad perhaps?
I am not sure how to create a bat file and what the code should be?
For version tracking I need to put a version table in the BE and in the front end correct?
have made a few significant changes but I'm holding out e-mailing it if I can get this version copying figured out and in place first.
We have a split ACC2010 database, with the back end on our server and 5 front ends on 5 client PCs. I hadn't run a compact/repair on the back end for months. When today I tried, I got the 'database is locked' error. The lock file showed 'Admin' logged on at all 5 clients. The front-ends had been closed on all 5 clients. We do not have a user called 'Admin'. Because my issue occurs for all clients, it might be caused by some sort of programming error in the front end.A VBA bug (implicit comparison to a control in an If .. Then construct) caused this type of behaviour but was resolved in Access 2007.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am hoping someone out there will be able to help me figure this one out! I have a database I just created which houses approximately data on about 500 physicians/practitioners - from their personal info to information regarding their licensures, liability coverage, and DEA. In order for us to be compliant with administration and government criteria we have to monitor expirations of their license, liability, DEA, and other things. We do this by sending letters/e-mails out 30 days in advance of expiration dates (which is a field in my database). What would really be great if when I bring up my database it would automatically give me a pop-up saying these licensures are expiring in 30 days and send out reminders. I am a rather new user to Access but I do recall a few years ago hearing something about databases that have crystal reports??? I am not sure if that is the same thing or not.
I do have parameter queries set up from date to date but it sure would be impressive if I could get it to do the above. Or maybe another way to do this. Any suggestions????????? CMElady in :confused: distress!!!
Thanks.
Hi Guys, my first post hereim making a database for work and need to figure out the followingi have two people that uses a ms access db, each entering data.i made a custom macro in the vb editor:Public Function cUsername() cUsername = Environ("USERNAME")End Functionwhat i want to do now is, everytime a new entry is added in the table, it should add that username to the "user" cell... it should only do this once, so for example, when i enter data it will show "albert" and if i was to close it, login as "steve" it should still show "albert" under the ones i added, and not steve...this needs to be in the table not a query or form...thanks for your timeAG
View 2 Replies View RelatedContinuing with production of my database I've come across another wall that I'm trying to pass. My aim is when the user press the "Quit" button it will export everything to a file which is stored on Google Drive as google drive is installed on the laptops that will be using this database.
However the problem is Google drive is stored in the computer user files i.e C:UsersstudentGoogle Drive - is there a way to retrieve the name of the user that is logged into windows?

However cant get this to work - I think that is probably because i'm declaring this code in the wrong place - I've tried declaring the private functions in a class module and the functions in a module - however no success - How do you set this code up? Or is there a new way to do this?
I have a form in which I collect approvals from two different departments. To approve an item the user selects their name from a combobox, and then tick an option box to indicate approval. The combobox is from table 'Users' and has a query as a source with the following fields, 'UserNum, First, Last, Password'. The 'approval' fields are on table 'Approvals' and are yes/no fields.
What I'd like to have happen is that the user chooses their name from the combobox and then ticks the option box for approval; when ticked I would like a messagebox to appear asking for the users password based on the name chosen in the combobox.
Is this even possible?
Hi,
I know this can be done but I'm a novice at VBA. I have a batch file AutoLoop.bat which I run from command prompt at the moment. The idea is to run a VBA routine behind the onClick event of a command button in Access which would run this batch file in command prompt automatically. Say if the batch file path is I:AUTOGENLOOPGENAutoLoop.bat,
what VBA code can be used.
Thanks for any help.
The code below successfully saves a .pdf file to my c: drive. However, on occasion i want to overwrite a previously saved invoice e.g. 3815-140515-Bristol with an amended invoice but retain the same Invoice Number e.g. 3815-150515-Bristol.
Currently, if i save the invoice with the same invoice number but a different date it just saves down without overwriting the original invoice. Leaving 2 invoices with the same invoice numbers but with 2 different dates.
What I want to achieve is: Once I hit the SaveInvoice button the code will check that invoice Nr 3815 does not exist in c: drive and save normally. However, if it does exist a msgbox will then prompt me to overwrite.
Current code:
Private Sub SaveInvoice_Click()
'Save Invoice as PDF and annotate invoice number, site name, and date
Dim slFileName As String
' create the invoice as a pdf
slFileName = Me.txtInvoiceNr.Value & "-" & Format(Date, "ddmmyy") & "-" & Me.SiteName.Value & ".pdf"
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptinvoice", acFormatPDF, ("c:CompanyName InvoicesRegular Invoices" & slFileName)
MsgBox "Your Invoice was successfully Saved"
