This Record Has Been Changed By Another User Since You Started Editing It....
Jul 9, 2002
I am getting the following error while trying to update a SQL Server 7.0 table thru' MS Access('97 version). It was working fine until now. This problem started happening after re-linking the table to MS Access as new columns have been added on the SQL Server table. We tried re-starting the MS Access,re-linking the table again,giving all the permissions to the user on the table etc. Also, no other user is accessing the table at the same time..Any help?
Error message in MS Access:
This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made.
Copying the changes to the clipboard will let you look at the values the other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you decide to make changes.
I apologize in advance if this has been posted but if you get the attached error "The record has been changed by another user...", we've discovered that this error can occur if you have a SQL Server Data Type of "Float" and also a "Text" Data Type in the same table. We discovered that it only happens on some records though and I am not sure why this is so. The solution is apparently to add a TimeStamp Data Type to the SQL Server table which does seem to fix the problem. If anyone has any insight on any other solutions (we cannot change the Data Types) or the reasoning behind this error, I would greatly appreciate the feedback.
I have a client using a small SQL Express database with an Access front end.
I've created a form in the front end that allows a supervisor the ability to perform two very basic security operations. 1) Adding a new user, and 2) granting/removing write privileges. The code behind the form uses VBA to build some T-SQL strings and then executes them via an ADO connection.
The strings are as follows:
1) Add new login to server: "CREATE LOGIN [NETWORKUserName] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = MyDatabase"
2) Add user to database: "USE MyDatabase CREATE USER [NETWORKUserName]"
3) Grant Write Permissions: " USE MyDatabase EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datawriter', 'NETWORKUserName' "
I have full privileges over the server & database, and everything runs perfectly.
However, when the supervisor - whose login includes security admin privileges - tries this, he gets a message that says "Changed Context to MyDatabase, Error# -2147217900, 80040e14" and the code fails.
If I grant him "db_owner" status, the message does not come up and everything runs perfectly.
I'm not a security guru or anything, but I suspect that it's not the greatest idea to hand out db_owner privileges.
I ran a search, and the best I could come up with were a couple of KB articles: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;197459 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;143339
I'm not even sure these articles are talking about what's happening..
I have a client using three small SQL Express databases with MS Access front ends. I've created a form in each of the front end apps that allows a supervisor the ability to perform some very basic security operations. The VBA code in the form concatenates some simple TSQL strings and then executes them via an ADO connection. The strings are as follows:
1) Add new login to server: "CREATE LOGIN [NETWORKUserName] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = MyDatabase"
2) Add user to database: "USE MyDatabase CREATE USER [NETWORKUserName]"
3) Grant Write Permissions: " USE MyDatabase EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datawriter', 'NETWORKUserName' "
Everything runs perfectly for me. However, when the supervisor tries this, he gets a message that says "Changed Context to MyDatabase, Error# -2147217900, 80040e14" and the VBA code fails.
I've found two workarounds, but they have drawbacks that I'd rather not deal with
1) If I change the default database for his login to "MyDatabase1" it runs fine. But sometimes he needs to be able to perform these same operations in "MyDatabase2" or "MyDatabase3".
2) If I grant him "db_owner" status, it runs fine. However, I'd rather not hand out "db_owner" status if I don't have to
The only other idea I have to to build "EXECUTE AS.." stored procedures for each of these operations and then call those SPROC's from VBA.. Will this help? Any other ideas?

I have some software (written in Delphi 5) which has been working forseveral months without a problem.I have been given a copy of the database on our development server(SQL 7) and have pointed the software to this. So, nothing has changedwith the software. In theory the servers should be the same.However, if I try to make a small change to any record (as I would onthe 'live' system), I get an error stating that another user isediting the record. Now, I'm the only person with access to thisserver. So am I stopping myself I wonder ?If I create an ODBC connection to the database through Access 2000, Iget the same error. I feel I can reasonably assume that the softwareis not at fault.I'm sure it's something SQL based, whether it's an error orconfiguration difference, but I'm stuck.I've checked who is locking/blocking, and yes it will show me ashaving the record open, but this is me attempting to edit the recordso I would expect this.I can edit the table directly in SQL, but it takes 30 seconds or more,freezes EM and then allows the change.

Suppose there is a SQL Server table with a trigger behind it.
Suppose a client VB (or VBA) program is trying to update a certain record in that table, say record #1, by issuing the update statement:
RS.update
My Question: When is SQL Server starting to lock that record (record #1) ? Right after the RS.update is issued OR after the trigger has been executed ? ________________________________
Seems that when i use the edit functionality of the formview, and there are NULLs in the record, that my sql update statement (default from the FormView wizard) doesnt work (nothing updates). However, if i populate all fields, everything works fine. I have modified the FormView edit template to add my own textboxes and dropdowns to simplify the user record editing. Because it works when all fields are populated with non-NULL values, Seems my Bind's are all correct. ---Jim
Hey All,I think this is something like locking, but not quite. I need to select a record in a database and display the information to the end user. The end user has a few minutes to review it before giving the ok at which point I will update the record.However, while the user is reviewing the record, i dont want anyone else to be able to grab that record. I also want to make sure that if the user doesnt submit the page, that the record will be freed up and not indefinitely marked as taken.What would be the best way to do this? This is with .net 2.0 and sql2000
First of all, let me apoligize if this is a stupid question, but just a few days ago I decided to change my FE/BE database from Ms Access to SQL Server Express. Now I have a FE in ACC2002 and a BE in SQL SERVER (the two connected via ODBC). Anyway, this is my question:
When everything was in Access I had a form retreiving a series of records based on a filter - for understanding purpose let's say that a field must have been 'Not Null'. The operator then filled that field with data. With Access everything was static, and the operator could see all the records, the ones already changed and the ones not changed. With SQL now: everytime the operator fills in the field, the record changes to #Deleted. I assume that that is happening because the query - someway - is "alive" and is "filtering data alive"... or is updating records instantly. Just to make things more clear: is the record changed immediately so it is not considered part of the filtered data by the query, thus being change to #Deleted? What could I do to prevent this?
I need to find all items in an inventory table where a field has been unticked in the last 24 hours (there is no audit trail), as well as the contract number of the contract it has been added to (it will not have existed in that table before).
These are the two table querys in their basic form:
select item (nvarchar(20)), inactive (bit) from inventory
ung txtConPass ko is ung Confirmation input textbox ung txtNewPass ko is ung New Password input textbox ung oldPass ko is ung Old Password existing ung highlighted texts ko, dat is not working. That is my problem. I need to check if the old password that he typed is existing. When it is existing, then update the db. But if not, do not update. The problem is, even if the password that he typed does not correspond to the user that he is editing, still the data is being updated. Please help me fix it. Maybe I have to use other codes. Tnx!

I am working with SQL server management studio express and have added a variety of user- defined constraints to my table. I would like to edit these constraints (not using T-SQL if possible), but I can't find where they are stored! When I made them I didn't really keep track of what I named them, or how exactly I defined them, as I was assuming i would be able to go back easily and change them, in some sort of object-explorer/editor type window- but that is exactly what I can't find.
I have an online SQL Server database, and my web site registered clients can change the records of this database. My need: if a record of this database is changed, whole the changed record send to me and to the person who changed it immediately. I thought it could be possible through Transact-SQL,
I have couple sql servers. Users need to login and view tables and stored procedures, for that they use enterprise manager, recently one of the user logged in to one server and accidently stopped another sql server through service manager. How can I prevent user from accessing service manager but still be able to open enterprise manager ?? I would like also if it is possible to hide from user view certain things like dts packages, jobs ,etc Thanks
Dear AllI have a problem ,as i created the new user itspassword became changed.I logon SQL Server as[color=blue][color=green]>> Server Name: localhost>> Server option : window athentication[/color][/color]then i created a new user[color=blue][color=green]>>user name = test>>password = 123[/color][/color]then,i refreshes the serveras i click on the test userits password become too long as ************what is the reason
I had a failover occur last night on my AlwaysOn AG, the SQL accounts had to have the passwords re-entered in order to connect to the databases?
1. I checked the SIDS, they match 2. both accounts have sysadmin rights, I know, I don't like it either but the apps will not run without it. 3. Only a few people have access to the SQL servers, right now, they all deny changing the password,
I'm trying to execute backup job on secondary replica on clustered server(with HA) and I getting the error:execution failed see the maintenance plan and sql server agent job history logs for details.When I going to see the log, it says :configuration option 'user options' changed from 0 to 0.
Here is my problem - I have a user defined function that needs the FIRST value from a specially sorted result set. When I do my set statement I get the LAST value in my result set. I can't figure out how in a SQL function to only get that first value (since I can't do a cursor or temp table).
Example: My table has a keyid (created by identity value, the value I need) Also it has a vendorid, a repid, and an inventoryid. These tie out to other tables.
If I sort my result set in a certain descending order, the first record's keyid is the value I need. Problem is that I am getting the last keyid instead of the first. I can't switch my sort though and get the right value, because of some well-placed zeros. Hard to explain.
I guess what I want is something like:
Select @keyid = FIRST keyid from sortedtable order by vendorid desc, inventoryid desc, repid asc
It's the select FIRST that hangs me up. Can't find that function - does it or something like it exist that I can use from within my function? I'm sure it can be done, I'm just sure I don't know how... Thanks for your help. - K

im not sure wats going wrong because the record is not being added. Please help!!
I was wondering if you guys might give me some advice on how best to handle a particular scenario i'm struggling with. I have a client that basically wants web-based-update access to their sql server database. Specifically, for a group of users to be able to access a page where they select a record for editing. the caveat is that no two users should be able to pull up the same record at the same time. Originally I would have thought there was some easier record-locking-mechanism I could exploit within sql server or ado.net itself, but I haven't been able to come up with anything.. so this is my current approach: The page they use starts-out with basically a blank form. there are custom-built paging controls at the bottom of the screen. they click page-forward to begin and a stored procedure is ran to select a record and update a field on that record to indicate "in-process". when they finish editing the record - or page on to the next record without updating - another stored procedure is ran - updating/resetting the status field on the record appropriately. The entire page is encapsulated within an ajax.net updatepanel. The entire page has caching disabled. This works well in conjunction with the first page being blank. if they get out of the app and try to get back in by clicking the back button - all they can do is get to the first (blank) page. A piece of javascript window.onunload clicks a button on the page that releases the record they currently have selected in the event of a re-direct, clicking back, etc.. it appears to work with everything except a window close. in that case, i have a stored procedure running periodically on the server that checks how long a record has been selected - and if it exceeds the time indicated - resets the record as to allow it to be re-selected later. In the event of session timeout, they are redirected to another page that tells them their session has timed-out (and since the window.onunload fires - it takes care of releasing the record if they have one on the screen). The concept seemed to be working well until I started multi-user testing. Now it seems as if two users time it perfectly - they are actually able to both select the same record. it happens pretty rarely, but it does seem to happen. I'm guessing this has to do with how my stored procedure is structured - possibly allowing a tiny-enough window between the record being selected for editing - and the update running to actually status the record as in-process (2 separate sql statements within the one stored procedure). I believe I also have a found a second quirk in my approach where something is causing the window.onunload event to fire twice in some strange situations.. but that's more annoying/confusing from a logging standpoint than anything.. I've read where people say to ensure you dont update a record that's already been updated - that you should compare the fields before you actually perform the update and ensure they haven't changed since you selected it.. but to me that doesn't solve anything.. if two people select the same record and both spend time working on it - the person that tries to update last has just wasted their time. I've also toyed with the idea of maintaining a separate table in the database to hold the keys to the currently selected records and use that to keep multiple people from selecting the same record - but honestly i dont know if that approach is any better than what i'm doing now. anyway, I was just curious if you guys had any advice in regards to how you'd handle a request like this.. or if you see any obvious problems/fixes with my current approach.. I would greatly appreciate any info you could provide- thanks-
