Multiple users, selecting unique record from table

Hi all,

Come across a situation I cannot figure how to work out. Im relatively
new to access but have looked around and tried everything to my
knowledge.

I've developed an application whereby users load up the database and
open a form, this form issues them with work to complete, the work is
completed and the next record is offered.

There is a 'pot' of work that is loaded into a linked table every day,
when new work is given to the agent the row is taken from the pot and
stored in a local table (row in the pot then deleted) where over 10
minutes is regularly updated with outcomes and then moved to the
completed table.

Im having problems making sure unique work is given to each agent if
they were to click for another account at the same time.

At the moment two seperate queries do the above
1) retrieves the top 1 record from the pot into local table
2) deletes the record downloaded from the pot

between 1 and 2 the work form is refreshed and query 2 uses the job_id
field in the form to delete the remote record based on this field in
the form.

Does anyone have any ideas how to stop two being issued at once because
this happened almost numerous times whilst testing today.

Cheers for any help/pointers
Steve

I have a user assigned multiple roles and a role can be inherited from multiple parents (see below). How do I answer such questions as "How many roles does the user belongs to?" I answered the above questions by using .NET but I think it can be more efficient by using just SQL. I would appreciate if you can give me an answer. Thank you.

Is there a way to store an indefinite number of keys in one field and self join them? Imagine, for example, you have a table of users with a "friends" column. Say user 1 is friends with users 9, 7, 24 and 6; then would it be possible to store this array/list/whatever-you-want-to-call-it into user 1's friends cell and extract the join in a query, some how? An easy and obvious way, that is; I can think of string processing hacks ;) Thanks...

HI--I have 2 tables Cut: cut ID, HistNumb, Block, date: Cut Id is the primary key, the other 3 fileds are indexed to be unique Slides: Cutid SlideID, and various other fields: there can be multiple slide records per CutID. This table is a subdatashet of the Cut table--so the CutId is stored in it I have a form based on a query between the 2 tables for adding slide records

I'm really not sure how to go about this in Access. What I've created is a table for each location. Those tables are identical in format but different in information. The tables are named after key points such as the store number and the store ID. The fields of those tables are generic fields such as sales per day, bank deposit and what not. The first field for each store table is the date and I've set that as the primary key as one...

The goal I don't want clients to give out their usernames and passwords to friends, since the site relies on subscrption fees. Sessions ID's are matched between the browser and the server. So a users can login with same username and password and those sessions are tracked individually. Some suggest create table fields with the session ID...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
