User Logins and passwords and Notes History

[Matuag]

Hi All,

Is there anyway we can create different Usernames, user levels and
passwords in Access 2007? I could not find any icons for this on the
ribbon.

I have created Notes History using
=ColumnHistory([RecordSource],"Notes","[ID]=" & Nz([ID],0))

which returns
[Version: 18/05/2007 1:03:26 PM ] This is a test note2
[Version: 18/05/2007 1:03:16 PM ] This is a test note1
[Version: 18/05/2007 1:02:56 PM ] Testing

Is it possible to add 'Useraame' instead of 'Version' in notes
history?
Cheers, Matuag

Personally if I don't need serious security but still want user
groups, I'd use Active Directory.

Hi Tom,

I can't find 'Users and Group Permissions' on 'Database Tools' tab.
Also where is 'Active Directory'? :(

I am using Access 2007 Enterprise.

Hi,

I can't find 'Users and Group Permissions' on 'Database Tools' tab.

It's removed in A2007 - read more about it here :

http://blogs.msdn.com/access/archive...19/482845.aspx

Also where is 'Active Directory'? :(

And a introduction to Active Directory you can find here :

Active Directory is a kind of database on the Primary Domain
Controller of Windows networks. Among other things it stores the list
of users and their permissions. You can create groups, and put users
in those groups. Then from Access or any other tool you can query
active directory and ask "is user X a member of group Y", and based on
the answer grant or deny access to certain features.

Do you have code already written for that? I have the documentation
for proof-of-concept but have never implemented it.

Its pity I can't use user and groups in access 07. Active Directory is
little tough for me to understand.

Thank you all anyway.

An other solution might be the recommended practice - to move your data to a
centralized service like SQL Server or MSDE.

That's pretty much the equivalent of the code I already had.

I find it interesting that MS ignores all their classic VB
developers and uses VBScript and VB.NET for their examples. *sigh*
