But I would like to do something to the effect of having Access pull directly from the form and automatically update the database. Is this even possible? Thanks for any help!
In reality, I want to skip actually downloading the excel file manually. I’ve heard there are programs out there that will download specified files to certain locations on an automated basis. Would this be a better way?

You only need to write you some VBA in access to pull data from an Excel spreadsheet.

Every time I try to open it, Access requests that I save a copy to the C-drive. Why can I not open and make changes to the original database in the cloud?

Access was not intended to be used to access remote databases. It was designed for local computer or LAN use.

The file that the information is coming from is stored on a server. If more than one person accesses this database it will lock up. How can I fix this so multiple people can look up Information at the same time?

The basic problem with Access is that it not really designed for multi user.
Each client pulls the entire file, takes ownership of the file until it has finished with it. This is called file locking.

What I would suggest would be to use Access to create the database and then use an access to sql converter and then run your application in some form of SQL (ie MYSQL or MS-SQL or similar)

You can use the query sql view in access to look at the structure of the SQL queries you need. You may need to do some hand editing.

SQL based programs can use record locking which is much more multi user friendly.

I want to create a webpage that will submit data into an access database without allowing other entries to be viewed. Is there any way I can do this and how?

You’ll need to learn a little sql, here is a tutorial using classic asp but you can you asp.net as well

I want to link the access forms to outlook so that when somebody fills out the form an automated email with all the information entered into the forms is sent straight to the participant and to the manager who controls the system. Also the dates of the expediton need to be uploaded onto the outlook calendar.

Any help will be much appreciated and I’ll give 5 stars to any who can give me a decent answer.

Thanks

1) You can’t send emails through Outlook any more without clicking a "permission" button that Outlook will pop up. It’s better to send the email directly to the SMTP server.

2) Use VBA in Access to write CDO code to send the email. Microsoft and many other sites have sample code.

When potential brides come to register, they will be asked to fill out a form in the Access database. However, I would like to make so that once a bride registers, the form will move to the next record and the previous record can not be accessed by anyone else. Any help please??!!

Open your form in design view. Then go to View > Properties. Set the "Data Entry" property to Yes. This will allow only new records to be added.

Please do not spam by question theres no need…

One way would be to…

Get the number of rows in the database – http://databases.aspfaq.com/database/how-do-i-get-a-list-of-access-tables-and-their-row-counts.html

Generate a random bumber based on that number – http://retrowebdev.blogspot.com/2006/08/generating-random-number-in-asp.html

Get the row from the database http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/ASP/Q_22968844.html

Once you’ve got the field from the row you can generate the HTML to display it.

You should start using LINQ rather than the old techniques. LINQ is far superior and provides a lot more flexibility. You can see guides on using it:

Open access 2007 ,then under tools & using its inbuilt converter convert earlier versions,Ignore if any error of other user using it.
