I got these three code routines for backing up an Access database file from two different forums. I installed them as is, on a test database, creating command buttons for each. The test database is not password protected. I intend (if I can get one of these working) to install it on simple, single file, password protected databases.The first two came from Access World Forums at: URL....
Code:
Function BACKUPS() On Error GoTo Err_BACKUPS Dim fso As Object Dim sSourcePath As String Dim sSourceFile As String Dim sBackupPath As String Dim sBackupFile As String
[code]....
I got a compile error "Invalid use of property." on the button sub. Then there was a simple On Click sub:
Code:
Private Sub Backup_Click() Dim fs Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") fs.CopyFile CurrentProject.FullName, "C:", True Set fs = Nothing MsgBox "Database has been backed up successfully" End Sub Private Sub Command32_Click() End Sub
On this one I got a "Permission denied." error on the CopyFile method. As I said before, my database is not password protected.I found this third bit of code on another forum: URL...
Code: Public Function db_Backup() On Error GoTo db_Backup_Err
Dim sourceFile As String, destinationFile As String Dim aFSO As Variant Dim path As String, name As String
[code]....
On this one I got another "Permission denied." error on the CopyFile method. Again, my database is not password protected. This code had appeared to me to be the most promising of the three.
I have a simple log table that I am opening from a button on a form and adding a new record to the table.The table opens bu I get "Permission Denied" as a message - however I can then enter the form and enter data with no problem.why the VBA code cant do the same? what does Permission Denied usually mean?
I have a form with a textbox with the "LinkedIn" profile address that I want the user to be able to pull up when they click a command button. It works, except that the link opens twice in two tabs in the browser. I've checked over the code for the whole form, and this code is only being run from the click event of the button, so why would it open the same tab twice? Here's the code:
Private Sub cmd_Click() Dim ctl As CommandButton Dim txthyper As String Set ctl = Me!cmd txthyper = Me!LinkedIn
i have the following code that hides 5 buttons depending if the user has permission which works fine.im trying to incorporate an IF statement if there is only 1 of the buttons visible then to automatically click the button. but if there is more than 1 do noting?
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim rsO As DAO.Recordset Set rsO = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT tblUserPermission.UserFK, tblUserPermission.CompanyFK, tblUserPermission.Permission " & _ "FROM tblUserPermission INNER JOIN tblUser ON tblUserPermission.UserFK = tblUser.UserPK " & _ "WHERE Username = '" & Me.txtName.Value & "'")
is there a way to create a profile on each person on my database, to show their contact details and whether they've made a purchase from me before, or must I literally just make a table entering each individual person and purchase?
My boss (in another job) showed me very quickly an extremely old database one of his old employees had made for him years ago containing all of his clients, each shown individually, and he was able to click through each one, and each window showed the client's name, contact details, personal details, etc. and he just had hundreds of entries for all of his clients and was able to scan through each individual one. I am 99% sure he said it was on Microsoft Access that he'd done it.I just want to monitor how many of mailing list subscribers have also made purchases and whatnot, as I do rewards for them, and it'll be much easier to view each person's profile and the orders they've made than have to scan through a table to find each separate order?
after spending wweks perfecting a database which centres on the ability to email the contents of what you have just entered i find that our stirling IT dept haven't actually setup any of my intended users with outlook profiles and do not intend to. Therefore whenever they try and send an email they get the dialog box you get when trying to connect to the internet for the first time. Which is obviously a problem.
Is there any way around this or is there any alterntive i can use? my IT dept dont promise to setup any outlook profiles soon and im hoping there may be something else i can do before the project gets binned.
I am trying to add a profile picture to a dog database. The way I have it is that the picture is a file and gets renamed the dog_id, on the query for the form I have added the extra coloum
[code]ImageFile: "C:Gundog Training DatabasesProfilePictures" & [Dog_ID] & ".jpg"[code]
We have several users that access the same database. Is there a way to make it so that the users can add comments to the "coments" field on the form, but not remove any comments once saved?
My form has a Record Source of qry_Profile, it is a query that shows the user the records of the dogs that they currently own. I want to put a button in the form footer to allow the user to show the records of all the dogs that they have ever owned.
So my question is how do I change the record source with vb.
I have a database stored in a folder, and this folder can be accessed through a Network.
Is there a way to protect users from copying this folder to other areas? That is I would like to restrict access from users copying the folder where the database is stored.
On a webserver certian files are stored above the root directory. Therefor the user of the website can never access those files directly. But he is utlizing that file.
For example: We use Hotmail to see our mails. but we never download the complete database.
So is there a method that we can secure the backend using roaming profiles or something else so the user has a link to the backend but cant directly access the backend.
The programmer who built this access program is no longer here...Everytime I create a new Report, it works great for me...but the person I made it for ALWAYS gets the MSystable permission error....I have gone through the wizard to give them every permission available on the report and the query it is using...AND went and made sure permission was given on the SQL side of things as well...YET I still get this incredibly annoying error...that seems there is no real answer to...CAN ANYONE help?!!! even compacted and repaired the program...still no good....I know it will be something small, but I can not see it.
I get this error when opening my MS Access database - You do not have the necessary permissions to use the ...[flie name and path]... object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the necessary permissions for you.
The database works fine on another computer, but every time I transfer it to mine (I am on a network), I get the above error. I have recreated the User-level security workgroup file, no joy.
hi, when i tried to use "update" i got this error, no problem with "select" . it is got something to do with the permission setting?? using winxp pro, ms acccess 2003.

hi,,, i have this problem if anyone can help me please,,
i have some databases in my server(dc) + the Microsoft Office Access Workgroup Information(secured.mdw) ... when i open the database i get this error message ("You do not have the necessary permission s to use the '\dcdatabases$systemsdecdec sharedec_wahab.mdb' Gas Supplier.mdb' object. Have your system administor or the person who created the object establish the appropriate permissions for you.")
Hello, I get the above message when I try to open a database created by someone that no longer works here. I tried to create a new version of the workgroup information file and assume the permissions of the administrator, but I still cannot access the database. Any leads?
I was in the process of setting up a new user on our database, when I think I inadvertantly changed my own permissions. As the owner & creator of the database I am now unable to open it up - am getting th following messag:
"You do not have the necessary permissions to use the 'NDatabasesGAB Contacts.mdb' object. Have your system administrator or the person who creatd this objct establish the appropriat permissions for you."
After rading another thread on this subject I hav amendd the security options for the database, by right-clicking & selecting properties and the Security tab, then adding myself as the owner - but this has not resolved the problem.
Does anyone have any other suggestions to help me get back into my database?
I bought a database about 10 years ago and still uses it. Since then we changed our address and need to update all the forms as the address is hard coded into the forms. When I tried to modify any thing it tells me I don't have the Permission. I tried to contact the programmer, but he's been out of business years ago and was unable to contact him.
How do I reset the permission on MDB? I tried Tools->Security->User/GroupPremissions and it only shows Admin user with "Read Design" checked on all object names. And if I check on any other permission it says I need administer permission.
I tried upvmsa2k.zip "Users' passwords viewer v3.2" and it shows admin user with garbled up password. Also tried MDWRecovery, but it says there's no user or password.
Hi, I have put my database in a package using MS Access extension but the user and Group Perssion is not included to the package. Does some one know how to include the permissions too.
I am using MS Access which has a ODBC link to a sql database. I find that the linked table can be edited in Access. I would like to prevent editing in this Linked table. IS there a way?
Either when copying from one db to another on my machine or running a db produced on that machine on a network, I get the message "the database has been placed in a state by user (my machine is called "Rat") that prevents it from being opened or locked". =Error 3734. The security data says I am "Admin" and permission is set for Admin and Users. It has been doing this intermittently for a while and now does it all the time. Follow up data All databases are created, revised and run on home machine (Rat) and run on the office network.
The offending DB will permit internal design, editing , copying and will accept pasting IN of tables etc. from other DBs. But it will not allow copying OUT of files such as a table to other DBs even on the machine that created them. However it will allow copying and pasting of objects such as forms in visual form or individual query cells to other DBs.
I’ve carefully compared the Tools/Security/User & Group Permissions with a good running version of the DB and can see no difference. Permission settings on good and bad DBs are:- Permissions: Admin Object: Current DB Checked: Open/Run, Open Exclusive, Administer. I’ve also checked each individual files’ Permissions. The .ldb file, viewed with Word with the offending DB running on my office machine (Weasil), reads:- WEASIL_ Admin_
The creating machine “Rat” uses the Account “Richard”: but I have had few similar problems before. While revising the DB, I made 30 copies of at each stage along the way but saved carefully each design change and certainly did not deboot the computer without doing so.
I’ve tried the above procedure on my computer (Weasil) at the office, but got the same result. So it’s not the computers or MS Access 2000 program. Somewhere along the line, perhaps, the DB got corrupted. It Repaired and Compacted OK but still has the problem.
