Hi all
I am currently trying to create a form that will have the ability to show the last person that edited that form and the time and date that it was last modified. When I try though I just keep getting the field to update to me just by viewing it. Can anyone give me a fairly detailed way of doing this?
Kind Regards

I have the security set via the Access workgroups for both groups and users. I want to be able to use the username entered on the logon screen to filter my query results.
How can I get the logon id that was entered when my switchboard form opens?
Thanks in advance.

I have entered the following code to an onclick button. I am sure I have written it incorrectly (it's probably the line I highlighted below to do with username=Manager. By the way Manager is one of my usernames I have created.
Thanks for your help.
Rob
Private Sub Label218_Click()
If UserName = Manager Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "Tennis Teams", acNormal
Exit Sub
End If
MsgBox "You do not have permission to open this form!", vbOK, "Tennis Center Business Manager 2007"
End Sub
Have developed a support database in Access.
I need the dB to automatically pick up the username of the user logged on to the PC. Thus if I'm logged on to the PC as FLESTER, this username wil populate a database field.
Any ideas?
How do you get Access to pick up th OS username currently logged in to the database? For example I'm logged on to the PC as FLESTER and I wnat that recorded in the dB.
View 5 Replies View RelatedA couple of questions. I want my database to query the AD and make sure that the user trying to open the database had an account in the AD. I dont want them prompted for a password though. I have had a look at trying to change the example NT logon in the samples area, but just managed to get myself in a bit of a mess. Also is there anyway that you can query the users full name in AD and call that variable,or does this only work with the username?
Also, when a user created a record in a from, I would like the users username, called from the AD saved in a field in the table. I have tried this and the only way that I can call the variable is by having the "=Environ("USERNAME")" in the control source of the text box. Which means that it cant be save in a field in the table. I have also tried an after updated event on that textbox to update another textbox and have that textbox control source a field on the table. But again this doesn't work. Can someone tell me if what I am trying to do is possible. Thanks
I created a password for my database and now I cannot access it. The dialog box says that either the username or password may be incorrect. I do not know what the requested username is. I do not recall creating a username during the process of creating the password. I do not know what username ACCESS is asking for. I think I know what the password is. I think the problem is the username. However, if I somehow do not know the password, what can I do?
After you finish laughing at me, please help. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
I want to secure my Access database with a username and password. I want to be able to pull the nt login of the user and have them access only the things i need them to access. How can I do this?

Hi all,
I've had a quick search but couldn't find the answer to this.
Is there a way that when a user launches the application via my workgroup file, the default login name is always null?
Currently it retains the last users' login name.
Thanks

Hello!
I have a problem regarding using usernames and passwords to restrict access to certain tables/forms/reports etc....
I have read around the forum and various other websites but cant seem to get much relating to exactly what i am wanting to do.
I think i understand the way the access workgroup security works. But does this not just restrict users being able to view the database as read-only or with other certain rights like that? So, firstly would i be able to use this to restrict the database the way i want?
Or is there a way to create a table with names and passwords and create a form at the beginning where the user inputs their details and then according to the details gives/restricts access to parts of the database? Ideally i'd like the startup form to direct them to a different menu according to the user which gives them only the options they are allowed?
Seems a bit of a mouthfull and i sound like a complete newb but i been trying to figure this out all day!!
Thanks
Hello,
I was wondering if you have one or have seen a routine to generate unique
username from first, middle and last names. Here is my requirement -
by default first initial and last name of a user is their username.
But if the expected or default username is already taken then if the
user have middle initial, then the username for this user would be
first initial, middle initial and lastname. If the user does not have
middle name then the username for the user would be first two letters
of first name and lastname and if that's already taken then first
three letters of first name and last name and so on.
Any help or pointer is greatly appriciated.
Hi
I have designed a MS Access tool accessed by multiple user. The first screen asks for badge number which is unique for each user. I wanted to do away with that screen. Instead wanted to get the username of the currently logged in user, may be from registry or somewhere. We have Windows XP here. Is there any VBA script for that....Need help!!
Using Win 7 and Access 2007
db will be split and on a server
If it's possible: Would like to use the Environ username somewhere in the db so the user only sees their records.
Where would I place this? Or is their different code I should be using for this purpose???
I created security using the security wizards, separating admins vs. data entry users. I gave everyone a username and a password but when I reenter the database it doesn't ask me for my username or password. Does anyone know why or how can I fix it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
Pls i am having some problems storing the logged in username in a variable. I am creating my own login page (not using the security in Access). I have a login page and another form for changing password. Pls how do i carry forward the logged in username so the right record can be updated? I tried using CurrentUser() but it keeps giving me 'admin'.
Kindly help. Thanks in advance.
I would like to ask how can i validate the username and password in a textbox? I have a frmLogin and frmMain.
I have also a table called 'tblUsers' with column fields 'username and password'.
If username is not found in database then a msgbox will prompt 'Username is not yet created'.
If username is okay and password is incorrect then msgbox will prompt 'Incorrect password'
If username and password is okay, then a msgbox will prompt 'Successfully login' and will continue to frmMain.
How can we store the first and last letter of the username using vba.
E.g. my name is "Daniel Rawlings" then it should display "DR".
