Cannot open Access MDB from IE
I have put a link to a MDB on our intranet. It works fine on most of our machines, but on a couple the dialogue box does not have an option to open the file, just to save it or cancel. We all run the latest version of IE, and the folder permissions are set to full control. The database is in 2002 format and was created in Access 2003. Can anybody help?...

distribution and security
I see how you could have a short cut to use a particular mdw file on a laptop. But if I want to distribute this database, how do I make it so the same security is the same on all laptops? Do I have to distibute the mdw somehow? Thanks...

Can Access create a tracking?
Hi, I'm trying to figure out if Access can create a tracking which can tell me who's entering to my database, what's the user do and which changes he made. Is like tracking every step the user is doing in my database. It was one of my boss recommendations to increase security by having a tracking. I have the log in form, which is working great. I'll appreciate if anyone let me know how to c...

Chinese characters appear in fields suddenly
Running Win XP, Access 2002 SP3 Data fields of one record were suddenly replaced by chinese looking symbols. These symbols can't be replaced or deleted ("Error: The search key was not found in any record"). This happened 3 months ago as well. Is this some kind of virus? How can I prevent this? -- Tony...

Stuck trying to secure both front and back-end
I know I've done it before, but I must have mixed up the steps. What I'm trying to do is: 1. Take an application and split it 2. Secure both the Front and Back end 3. Turn the back end into a Design master (replicable) 4. Turn the front end into an MDE. I'm stuck with step two. I can only secure the front end When I try to secure the back end - it tells me I'm not the owner Tried to c...

no shortcuts
Hello, I need to deploy a secured database to be used to collect data for clinical trial. The .mdw works properly and all the permissions are fine. But…here comes a doubt… This database is hosted on a pc that is shared among many people and many projects. I cannot join to my .mdw since this will not allow all others database to work properly. And in any case I don’t want to set th...

What Permissions to Create User
Hi Folks I use a form and code to create a New User. The code works great on the DB Owners login but fails on the next level down login. Thought I'd set the relevant permissions to allow it but obviously not. Can anyone recommend the permissions I should be allowing this lower login to allow the creation of a user. It has (the login) Open, Run, Admin, on the actual database. Does it...

Forcing to use forms only
I have (almost) secured a database and added users/groups etc. How do I prevent them from accessing the tables so they have to use the forms only ? Of course I need access to the tables etc as the Administrator. I've read about hiding the database window on startup - I've tried that and it works initially but if the user closes the form he just has to re-open the database from the F...

Sandbox mode
Hi, I'm going to deploy Office 2003 via SMS 2003. However, we keep seeing "unsave expressions are not blocked" message when I open any Access files on a few test PCs. We are mainly using Windows 2000 with SP4 and also the Rollup 1 so that should take care of the Jet 4.0 part. I know that I can click "yes" to the message "do you want to block unsafe expressions" to prevent this mess...

DBEngine.CompactDatabase and Permissions
Hello Newsgroup I wonder if someone has a spare 5 minutes to test something for me. I posted to comp.databases.ms-access but have yet to receive any response. The question is: if I want to compact a secured mdb file from another mdb, do I need an Admins login? I think I have proved that you do not - but I may have overlooked something. So assuming you have a split, secured database h...

Secure Access 2000 database accessible using Access 2003
I've got an Access 2000 database that uses a specific workgroup file for security. There are several computers that access this database, which is located on a shared network drive, and they all do it via the same method: there's an icon on each desktop, and the target specified includes the /wrkgrp option. Up until recently, the database worked as expected: when the icon was doubl...

Linking to a temporary database that has all permissions revoked.
My main app is split into a front end/back end. When my application, MainApp, starts up, it creates a temporary back-end database. To create this temporary back-end database it simply takes a "model" database and creates a copy of it. This instance of the temporary back-end database is in the same folder as the front end and is used by the user during that session. It is used to store th...

Unknown Publisher Security Message
I have added security to a database and now, when opening the database, I receive an "Open File - Security Warning" message that asks if I want to open the file. If I click on Open, the database opens and everything is ok but I don't want the users to have to do this everytime. I found a question about this that was posted on 4/15/06 but no helpful answer so I thought I would post it a...

Mass creation of users in a Workgroup Information File (WIF)
I'm new to Access security. I was wondering two things: 1. If I have many users (100's) to add to the WIF, is there an easier way to add them than by typing in each person's user name, PID & password one by one in the User & Group Accounts from the Security menu? Can I import the data from an Excel or txt file or something? 2. I was wondering how come I can't give a new user a passwo...

Opening dbase in full screen with no way to "back end"
Please excuse the novice, here. I have a database that I want to open viewing a form (the “switchboard”) full screen, without allowing users access to editing options. I went into Tools and StartUp and adjusted the Advanced menu so that it does limit the menus and launches the form. What I want to change is: (1) I still see Access menus on the top (although limited). I want to fi...

Why does Access always asks for a password? Help!
This is crazy. I installed some updates to Windows. Restarted the computer, and now Access won't let me open a file or create a new one without entering a login name and password. I reinstalled Office to no avail. I downloaded "Access Password - Pro" but it tells me that my files are not password protected. Basically, I cannot use Access because the whole program seems to be password pro...

Whenever I use the shortcut from the desktop to open, it works fine. However if I run the file from file explorer using the default workgroup system.mdw, the user still have all the permissions ...
