For right now, I am keeping the desktop background on my local machine so as to test the script. When I reboot my cpu, I do not have any background (I have the cpu set to one background, and then this script changes it to another; when I startup, I do not see any background at all) I am...

Hi, I am trying to set the desktop background using vbscript. I have tried everything in this thread: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=922214 This is my script file: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.RegWrite"HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control...

It looks like, from my research, xp home does not have as advanced sec features as I am used to. Specifically, is there anyway to set an account lockout threshold (ie if someone has a certian number of failed login attempts to an account, it locks out)in xp home? thnx.

Hi, I just bought a brand new computer w/ win xp. While in the course of altering the settings, I wanted to adjust the local security policy, so I went to control panel -> Administrative tools. However, the security policy icon does not appear. Then I tried typing in "secpol.msc" in run, and...

Hi, I have a problem with windows explorer. My computer boots normally, but when I login, windows explorer will not start; I just see a blank screen with the desktop background. When I go to windows task manager, and go to file -> new task and type "explorer", it will start for a second (I...

Just to clarify, are we talking about folder permissions, or file (permissions on the access file) itself? I have managed to set the backend folder's permissions to allow (checked) "modify", "read & execute", "list folder contents", "read" and "write" and disallow "full control." Under the...

Hi, I have a question in regards to setting folder permissions for a backend database. To give some background, I have 2 parts of my db, the front end and backend. The front end is public, anyone can read/write/execute. The back end is in a folder that restricts access; no one except the...

This seems like a good idea, but I was wondering if there is some way to do this without writing a .vbs file. The problem with this solution is that the file path to the .vbs must be specified each time the database is moved or put onto a new machine, which could be a problem for my users...

I was thinking that one way to implement a message box notifying the database is locked is to use some kind of messagebox dll (similar to the function aht_apiGetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias "GetOpenFileNameA" (OFN As tagOPENFILENAME)) This way, access does not have to be open in...

Hi, I have a question in regards to a networked database. I have created a system where an administrator can lock out all users from a network database. An administrator can lock out the database, and once locked, only the administrator can get back in (this is done by network username)...

If the eval function could be used at a table level, how would I implent it? use eval() as a default value?

Hi, This question might seem a bit bizarre, but I'll ask it anyway. I wanted to know if there is anyway to embed VB code within a table. Specifically, I would want to put this (pseudo)code within the table: On Table_Open Field2.Setfocus If Field2 = "A Value" Then 'do stuff here...

Sorry, I ment to ask if there is anyway to prevent users to link to my front end without using access security. If I were to do that then I would have 3 files to open a single front end and that might be too complicated for my users.... One method I have found is to put the prefix "Msys" in...

Is there any way to prevent users from creating table links to my front end? I thought that my front end would inherit (i.e. users would have to enter back end password to link to back end table) the security of the back end, but apparently not...... thnx again

yea....i tried both of these and they don't work [Subform].Form.AllowEdits = False me.allowedits = false I'm thinking if i can lock up the subform's recordset, that might work, although, I don't kno how.....

Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, that does not work. I am still able to edit other records on the subform.

Hi, My question is in regards to record locks. Currently I have a form and subform, with corresponding tables that have a one-to-many relationship to each other. Because of "constraints" I want to be able to lock all records currently displayed (the record on the form, and all corresponding...

Hi, I wanted to know if there is a way to display a message box when a record is being edited. My form has "Edited Record" record locks, and right now when someone tries to edit a locked record, access just beeps, however I want a message box to appear stating that a record is locked. I have...

Thank you all for your replies. To give you some more information, my front end is secured using a series of user/password forms that are set to open at startup (these are forms that I created myself). Additionally, my backend is secured using a password (Tools ->Security->Set Database...
