Re: [MS_AccessPros] Macros stopped working after DB split

I guess that begs the question: Why did you use a Data Macro?

Thanks for the response John. I started to figure that out. But it does kinda of blow because now if I have a new employee I have to add them to several different copies of the employee table because this is a multi-user application.

Data macros run locally with the table they're in. If you left the table on the server, it wouldn't "see" the user info on the local machine. You are correct to move the table to the front end to be able to get the correct user ID.

I moved the two tables that have data macro that are of concern in this situation to the front end and they are working again. So the FE must lose connection to them when they get split.

It is difficult to tell without the code you are using to get and store the username.

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Macros stopped working after DB split

I have a database that depends on macros to retrieve the login name that are used to updates records that have been modified. It was working fine up to when I spit the database and now it does not see the current login user name nor will it store the user name in my tempvar. Where did I go wrong?
