Limit the NUMBER of users in Access 2003

I have created an MS Access 2003 database that will be distributed
amoungst several hundred employees. I am wanting to limit the NUMBER
of users who can access the database concurrently to 15 yet I can not
seem to find any information on limiting the number of user. I have
googled plenty and a lot of reference refers back to MS Knowledge and
Jet Utilities. These functions will not work for me because there
will not be a central administrator. These employees will access the
database via their own secure server. Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated. I have no clue who the users will be so using the user
id and pw will not work in this situation as well I have already
included an automatic shut down after 30minutes for each user as well
as a centralized password to get into the database form.

See http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0034.htm. I can get a count
of users. In your startup code get the count and post the message if it
exceeds 15.

There appears to be a limit of ~16378 user Id's possible per database. When adding users we eventually get the message: > exec sp_adduser 'testUser', 'testUser', 'user_group' Server: Msg 15065, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_grantdbaccess, Line 160 All user IDs have been assigned. All of the MSSQL procedures eventually call sp_grantdbaccess which has the following piece of code:

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I have a URL for which I'd like to limit access to by time. For example,say I have a URL that I don't want accessable on Monday mornings between 10am-noon and Fri. afternoons between 2-4pm. So when someone clicks on the URL during those times a message pops up saying somthing like "sorry we're closed now etc" Is this possible? if yes, I'm guessing I'll need somesort of "onclick" for the

Does anyone if there is a limit on the number of fields or the number of tables in an Access97 database? My code suddenly won't compile after I have added a few fields in one table and I wonder if I have exceeded something? If Yes, then does anyone know any workarounds? GT.

Using Access 97 I want to distribute my database over a LAN but limit the number of PC's that can use it at the same time. Perhaps limit it to 3 so when the 4th user tries to open it they cant until one of the others closes the database. I have seen other application that do this according to the number of users that are licensed for it. I don't expect anyone to write the code for me but if anyone could point me in the write direction it...

Hi. In the ldb file you can see the users of the mdb-file. If you open the mdb-file your machine and username will be written in the lbd- file. Allthough you close the mdb-file your name won't disappear from the ldb-file, before every user has closed the mdb-file. I have heard that there will be problems if the amount of users will be over 10 in mdb-files. Is that true? Hannu

Short: How can I limit the number of concurrent logins to Access (2000) DB? Long: I seem to be having the problem discussed in previous postings of having more than 9 or 10 concurrent logins. If I can limit the number of concurrent logins to 8 or 9, that would satisfy our needs. Thanks

Hi, I was wondering how the 4k table record limit is counted. I have access 2k. I text fields are 256 chars. Memo fields are not included in the calculation. What about yes/no fields would that be just 1 char? also integers they are probably not included either? I just need to make sure none of my tables exceeds the limit. Thanks

Howdy, I am having trouble with the objectCategory=group member.Count attribute. I get one of three counts, a number between 1-999, no member (does not contain member property), or 0.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
