• Password front end back end

    Hi, I have a back end DB which is password protected (recently had to) and to be honest I am not sophistcated with security, it’s just a simple password protected. However my front end, where users run reports is now not picking up details from a query used to populate a form on t e front end. When I move the password on the back end all works fine so by deduction the issue is the password. How can I keep the password and get around this issue?

    I have a default value to pick up a user name in a combo on the front end…

    =DLookUp(“[individual ID]”,”tblIndividuals”,”[memoID]= fOSUserName ()”)

    The combo row source is: SELECT [tblIndividuals].[forename] & ” ” & [tblIndividuals].[surname] AS CC, [tblIndividuals].[Individual id], [tblIndividuals].[surname], [tblIndividuals].[Forename] FROM (tblTeamManagers INNER JOIN tblTeams ON [tblTeamManagers].[Team Manager ID]=[tblTeams].[Team Manager]) INNER JOIN tblIndividuals ON [tblTeams].[Team ID]=[tblIndividuals].[Team] ORDER BY [tblIndividuals].[forename] & ” ” & [tblIndividuals].[surname];

    The password is clearly denying the query access to the underlying tables…

    Many thanks, Darren.

      Open the frontend and relink all the tables. You’ll be prompted for the password.
      From then on, users of the frontend will be able to work with the linked tables without having to provide the password. I don’t know whether that was your intention.
