Hi there
I have a MS Access 2003 DB. I need to make some changes in that but it shows me that Database is in Read Only and none of the changes can be saved.
I have tried to changed the Read ONly attr. from right click and properties but that option is allready unchecked.
Please help.
Thanks..
Danny
I have a Front-End Access Data Project file (ADE compiled format for distribution) that I purposely have the Read-Only file attribute set to True.
I've been using it this way for about 7 years starting with Access 97 and the current version is 2000.
I am upgrading the app to 2003 now and everything with the conversion is fine except when I set the Read-Only file attribute to True it all of a sudden when starting it no longer connects to the Back-End (sql server) and displays a "form load cancelled" error before hanging.
If I disable the Read-Only attribute, everything is fine again, but I prefere not to do this because that will require me to rework my auto updater.
I use it this way because it prevents bloating of the file and allows for my auto updater to determine new version by using the file modification date.
Any Idea's?
hello...
I need a little help in making a small database, I have made the tables already but the hard part is the relation
LINK: www.sunalpina.com/test.mdb
well the thing is that I need to make a database for tables "Product", "Category", "Admin", well the problem is between the tables "Product", "Category".
I want to make a category example "food" and in that category I want to make a sub-category "italian", "japanese"
and in the category "italian", I place product "pizza"
and in the category "japanese", I place product "noodles"
I don't know how to place the sub-category relationship in the database...
could someone please help....
I am creating this temporary table on the fly I find I need a default value of zero for the field [GrpCount] . However I can't find the correct code to set this default value? I'm assuming it's an attribute
Code:
Set tbldef = DB.CreateTableDef("tblTempLkp")
With tbldef
.Fields.Append .CreateField("ID", dbLong)
[Code]....
I am using Access 2010. I have many tables that are downloaded from SAP into Access.
Within each table structure are the following standard Access attributes: Field Name Data Type Description
When I create a query I add the Field Name from the table nothing earth shattering here. But, in addition or instead of Field Name, I want to use the Description attribute. Mostly because the SAP field names are acromyms in German and are useless to the untrained eye. Please see attachment as an example.
Is there a way either using VBA or some special SQL language in any query I write to show me the Description instead of or in addition to the Field Name?
Hi
I am running Access 97 and I was wondering if it was possible to change the colour(background or text) of a single record based on an attribute
I was hoping that my subform, viewing all of the records (datasheet) would look like this based on Task Des column
eg Condition = red, Awaiting = Blue
(Below is ment to look like an access datasheet view)
Property No | Task Des | MCU/ROL
PN1234/DA1 | Condtion | MCU
PN1235/DA2 | Condtion | ROL
PN1994/DA1 | Awaiting | MCU
Thanks heaps for your help
I have a keys table and a keysctivity table. I need keys to not be available if they are currently signed out (return_date is null) or if they have been marked as lost (lost_key = true)
This is my activity table. URL....If for example signin_id 1 was not returned or was lost, key_id 1 should no longer be available. Is this something that can be done?This is the access file I am working on: URL....
create two new tables "lostKeys" "unreturned_keys" and have records moved to their respective tables based on whether they are indicated to be lost or currently not returned.
I have a combobox on my form called TypeOfBusiness, with fields including Corporation, Education, Industry, Non-Profit. In order to make a second combobox called IndustryClassification appear when Industry is selected from the TypeOfBusiness combobox, I have used the following code:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.TypeOfBusiness = "Industry" Then
Me.IndustryClassification.Visible = True
Else
Me.IndustryClassification.Visible = False
[Code] .....
It works just fine. However, when a user selects both, say, Industry and Education, the IndustryClassification combobox will not appear. What code I can use to ensure the IndustryClassification box will appear regardless if another box is checked in addition to Industry? I am wondering if it has to do with the Column attribute.
I have a brand new database in-the-works that is causing me headaches. For some reason, if I create a query and then exit and re-enter the database, I cannot re-open that query. I get an Error 3112 (cannot be read; no read permission on <name>) and to contact the administrator or creater of the database.
I'M the creator and the administrator on this thing - so why can't I get into the darn thing? I haven't added any security features. This has never happened before on any database I've created, so obviously, it's frustrating.
Any ideas?
Will like to check, i have a access database which can be open up by a few users.
How can i only allow the first user who open up the database to read and write the database and the follow users who open up the access have only read access?
I've just attempted to develop my first Access database which I've tested and seems to work well. I've copied it to use at another location but can only open in "read only", eliminating the ability to do further development or editing. How can I copy or open this database at another location?
Thanks,

How can I provide "read only" access to a specific user?

Pretty new to all this Access stuff but have to know how to do it for work! Doh! So heres what im trying to do...
We have a database in work that we keep all our info on our clients, but it is very out of date and the questions do not correspond with the answers we recieve from clients now etc.
I've started making up a new database as we are unable to change/edit the old one as the person who made it, left no note of the password!
I've created a switchboard page to direct the people to the specific parts of the database (e.g. there is one set up with a query to find people on a waiting list and all they do is click that and it displays their details).
Im wanting to make up a bit that you can send them out a letter, like we have set up in work. What happens is we click the button to 'Send Appointment Letter' and it goes into another sub-switchboard sort of thing and we pick what kind of letter ie first appointment, second appointment etc.
What I need to know is, how to narrow the letter down to a specific date. ie, in work a dialouge box comes up asking me to put in the date the person has their appointment on and then it displays a Report (I think) in Access which is in the shape of a letter with all their details on it including name address appointment time, date and venue.
I want to know how I would first of all:
Create the Report?? if thats what it is for the letter
how to put their information into the letter?
how would i find i get the dialouge box to come up and ask me to input the date ?
Im really quiet unsure and would really appreciate some help!
Hopefully someone out there actually knows what I mean lol!
I've got plenty of more questions by the way. If you can email me your answers please at jamesy.higgins@ntlworld.com. If you would like me to send you a copy of the database to try and work out how to do it, dont hesitate to contact me. I will email it as it is too big to fit on this post (500kb) Doh!
Please, if anyone could help me that would be great. Just even if they try and do something to it and send it back to me?
Anything is worth a try:confused: .
Thank you !
So my problem is this,
when I wish to add users to my db through asp
I get an Eror message that says I can't update
because the db or object is defined as read-only
but when I checks it, it's not a read-only.
please help. T_T
this is important for my internet test at school.
I forgot to add that I looked at other threads
and I can't seem to understand..
I don't have a security tab in proporties
Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum, so MODS, do what you will.
I'll come out and admit it right now, I'm a newbie here and have just started using Access2003. I'm in a city government so I need other users to be able to view and access my database, BUT I don't want them to be able to edit or change things. I want to be the Owner/Administrator of the database and no one else. I want to be the only person that can make changes.
Is this possible in Access 2003? Can other users only open it in Read-Only format but when I open it, it's editable?
Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

There is an Access application somewhere in shared drive.
100 users open this application using a batch file which copies this database on their c: . They start using this database and the master database gets replicated real time. I am not sure if all the database are replicated as it is copied everyday ( so that each one of them has latest version of the application )
Is it possible ( I know it is :) ) but i am not able to figure out how it is happening.
Please help :confused:
Hi
I've networked my database and given a bunch of People Read only access. There is a button there that when pressed runs some queries. Basically I dont want READ ONLY users to be able to run any queries. I only want exclusive users to be able to get access
How can I prevent these queries being run.
Can read only users run an UPDATE query? According to my system this may be the case.
I dont want to change my system (i.e put the button on a separate form etc)
Help

Hi,
Can someone help, does anyone know how I can read values from an excel file, basically I have an excel sheet that I'm doing some vba work and I need to go to the excel sheet which resides some where, read the table and apply the values in my current excel file. I hope that I didn't confuse you guys. Thanks a lot.
Hey, can someone help me out here,
I want to make my database so it is read-only for all other people who use it, besides me, as I'm the only one who really is making changes to it. Would there be a way to do this, perhaps in a multi-user environment?
Also does Access have a tool to automatically backup the database at regular intervals, such as the end of a day. I thought it had that feature but couldn't find it in help.

Hi all,
I have e-mailed a database and when it arrives at the other end it is read only. I sent it in a zip file.
Using MS access 2003, emailing through a corporates firewall.
Any help would be much appriciated.
Just upgraded to office 2003 now everytime the dbase opens I get a read only error. How do I make it stop?

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

I believe I may have asked this question before but…
I have a FE/BE database. Is there a way to set the tables as “read only”? I’d like the FE to be read only, but allow users to see all the tables, not just forms etc. However, if they open the BE, they would have full control.
Thanks,

Is it possible to make Microsoft Access queries read only without making the entire database read-only?
