HY everyone!
I used the following script "GetCurrentUserName()" in access 2003 to get the username of the logged user. I’m using the following script "CurrentUser()" in access 97 but it always recognise any user as a admin.
Is there anyone that could tell me how to solve this please?
Thanks
Hi,
I found this database with an LOGIN sample.
This is working perfectly...(see example)
Now I want to accomplish this:
Based on the user that is logged in I want to generate reports.
Is there a way to recall the username or userID and link that to specific reports...
Allso I want to add an mail adress field in the userstable and based on the logged in user I want to hit a mail button and it will check the logged in user...
and mail the report to that specific user...
Can someone help me?
Thanks,
In an network environment that requires users to log in, is there any way for Access to record a user who opens an Access application. The application has no security applied to it. The .ldb has the users listed, but can the .mdb put it into a list inside the .mdb?
View 3 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?
Code:
Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" _
(ByVal IpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Function ThisUserName() As String
Dim LngBufLen As Long
Dim strUser As String
[code]....
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?
How do I run a report that will show me who is currently logged into my database that is saved on the server.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWas trying to set the value of text to current date and time when a submit button is clicked. I've managed to set
Control Name:- txtLastLogin
Property:- Value
Value:- now()
The above expression works but the last logged data in tblEmployee gets replaced as another user logs in.
How can i add a time stamp to each user loged in.
Hi,
I have a sub, which shows in the Intermediate window who is currently logged to the database. This is my code:
Sub ShowUserRosterMultipleUsers()
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim i, j As Long
Set cn = CurrentProject.Connection
' The user roster is exposed as a provider-specific schema rowset
' in the Jet 4.0 OLE DB provider. You have to use a GUID to
' reference the schema, as provider-specific schemas are not
' listed in ADO's type library for schema rowsets
Set rs = cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaProviderSpecific, _
, "{947bb102-5d43-11d1-bdbf-00c04fb92675}")
'Output the list of all users in the current database.
Debug.Print rs.Fields(0).Name, "", rs.Fields(1).Name, _
"", rs.Fields(2).Name, rs.Fields(3).Name
While Not rs.EOF
Debug.Print rs.Fields(0), rs.Fields(1), _
rs.Fields(2), rs.Fields(3)
rs.MoveNext
Wend
End Sub
Now I want to provide this information in a table or other kind of output, when the administrative user presses a button on a form.
What do I have to do with that code? :confused:
Can Anybody help me with that? :)
Thanks in advance...
Recording to a table Who is logged on to Database, When they logged on and when they logged off.
Gets tricky as I really would like the info to come from the mdw file(all users go through this for access)
If someone can help would be great. Need my hand held for this as I have been attempting to do this for over a month with no real success. I have so many samples that don’t quite make it happen I am now totally confused.
Forever grateful - every crumb helps

I have a login screen that works fine but I need to lock some part of the system from normal users but I can't figure out how to track if the user who is logged on is security level is high and can authorize the transaction!!!
I have users table and in it I record the users, passwords, security level. So when someone logs on I have no way of knowing who they are and in order check their security level. I did it in the past by setting the C drive VOL into a value and search but as we use Citrix XenApp this is not possible the C drive is the server drive and if multiple users login to to that server then the VOL value would be wrong.
I would like to create a form that will show the users connected to the database. It would be kind of a tracker who opened the database to work on some cases. The form could show all users from the datbase from top to bottom and to the right a green or red round dot that she/he is active opened the database or not active (closed the database or did not open it still)
I was thinking that it could be applied when the main form opens and that form captures the login from windows into the "tracker" form.
I guess it will only work when the "tracker" form is first open. If the "tracker" form is open later, how to capture those logged in earlier?
I have some code that when a check box in a table is ticked, sends a pop up message to the users logged in (message is on a hidden form), then it closes the DB after a pre-dtermined period of time.
The problem I'm having is that we are a large site with a about 25 differnet servers that our users log onto via Citrix, when a user is on a different server it isn't displaying the message nor closing the DB down.
trying to achieve this? Or is there a better way to see who is logged in and get a message to them?
I'm using Access 2003 btw
Code I'm using below
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.TimerIntderval = 10000 ' change to 300000 for about 5 minutes
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.Close
Application.Quit
End Sub
As an "admin" of our corporate local db, maintaining and/or upgrading is my task.
Usually there are logged-in users, then I have to ask them (mostly via communicator) to please log off, because I can not modify with users in the db.
I would like to send these users a message via Access, like "Please log off from the db for maintenance blabla".
I have a list box with a row source query as follows...
SELECT qryPendingCompletions2.ID, qryPendingCompletions2.Department, qryPendingCompletions2.[Employee Name], qryPendingCompletions2.CompletionDate AS [Completion Date], qryPendingCompletions2.[Entered By], qryPendingCompletions2.Goal, qryPendingCompletions2.Comments, qryPendingCompletions2.[Verified By]
FROM qryPendingCompletions2
WHERE (((qryPendingCompletions2.Department)=[cbocurrentemployee].[column](3)) AND ((qryPendingCompletions2.[Verified By]) Is Null))
ORDER BY qryPendingCompletions2.Department;
I also have a combo box at the top of the form showing what user is logged in where the row source query is the following...
SELECT Employees.UserID, [First Name] & " " & [Last Name] AS EFullname, Employees.AccessLevelID, Employees.Department
FROM Employees
WHERE (((Employees.AccessLevelID)=1 Or (Employees.AccessLevelID)=2 Or (Employees.AccessLevelID)=3 Or (Employees.AccessLevelID)=4));
How to only list the data in the list box when the department is the same as the logged in user.
So I'd like to add the criteria to the first query something like criteria = [cbocurrentemployee].[column](3) but this doesn't seem to work as criteria in queries.
There is a DB with many forms and reports on which multiple employees are going to work. Is there an easy way to prompt each employee to enter his/her own password to be able to open the database?
Since it is important to record who has put data in forms, a column is designated to record the name or ID of the employee who is putting data. Is it possible that the logged-in employee name or ID, as the person who enters data, is put automatically in all forms / reports, etc. since he/she has already logged in?
I am building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
I've seen different log in forms and tips on multi-user use but can't seem to find info on the following...
We have 6 people at work and I'd like to assign which user updated a form or created a new record...this would be particularly useful on the sales part of the database to track who made a call to a particular customer...
Best ideas anyone?

I 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.
I have two tables. The first contains details of a budget holders money allocation for a given period, and the other tracks their spend on products over that period. How can I generate a query to calculate the total running spend for each user from the "budget spend table" that will be written into the users record in the "budget allocation table".
My aim is to show details of budget allocation, total spend to date and remaining budget for each user in an Order form / report.
Can anyone please advise me on how to do this or suggest another way of doing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have a database for mutli users which is split. Front end is available separately for 3 users. These users make data entry in the same form from their front end form. This particular form has combo box that retrieves data based on selection in combo box and the use starts filling the data in the subform. Upto this, form is Ok, no problems seen.
But when the second user opens the same form from the split database front end stored in his computer, and once the second user selects another record from the combo box, first user's record also changes immediately to the record of Second user. Both users now have the same record even though the form is separately accessed from front end.
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 need some help building what I believe is called a user end. I'm done building the tables and forms and all that jazz, now I need an interface that my boss, who knows nothing about access, can easly access and manipulate data. Of course it would be nice if I'd look nice. Is there anybody who can help or can give me link to a decent tutorial.
I already searched these forums and googled for help.
i plan to use the Group security feature for my DB.... using the user ID and password... i also want to make use of the user ID in the autopopulating of some of the field in my forms.... if for an instance the person logged in is akshal... then the a particular field named "filled in by" is to be autopopulated by the user ID (i.e. akshal)
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan someone direct me to help with setting up User rights? I've always been the only user, but now I have multiple people working from my database and want to limit there authorizations. Also, is it possible to have someone actively using the database while I continue to make changes for forms and reports?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi all
Well ive been using this forum for about a month now, and as an inexperianced user of Access D/B I find this forum is a wealth of information from the cream of Access programers. I have bought DVD courses of ebay in the past but has no comparison to the knowledge on this forum.
Thank you all.
