System MS Access 2013 with Linked Tables to Office 365 Sharepoint tblQuote - frmQuote tblQuoteItems - sbfrmQuoteItems No Record Locks I'm attempting to setup a select all/deselect all button that when clicked runs db.Execute Update on the tblQuoteItems where equal to Quote ID and Quote Version. I have a button on the main form that calls the below process. Public Sub SelectLineItems(strTable As String, strID As String, _ intID As Integer, bln As Boolean, Optional intVersion As Integer) Dim db As Database Dim strSQL As String Dim strVersion As String Set db = CurrentDb strSQL = "UPDATE " & strTable & " SET [Selected] = " If intVersion > 0 Then strVersion = " AND [QuoteVersion] = " & intVersion Else strVersion = "" End If If bln Then strSQL = strSQL + "False WHERE " & strID & " = " & intID & strVersion & ";" Else strSQL = strSQL + "True WHERE " & strID & " = " & intID & strVersion & ";" End If db.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError db.Close Set db = Nothing Exit Sub It's pretty simple, nothing to crazy. The problem occurs when I try to run this after a record has been modified by the form and it still has focus. Because of the dbFailOnError I get the error message, If I remove dbFailOnError it will update every record except the one that has been modified through the form. If I modify the record then select a different record manually by clicking with the mouse, the record is no longer locked and the Update works with no errors. I have tried to replicate the process of clicking on a new record and have put the below code If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False In every Event I could think of like: The subform_Current, subform_Dirty, subform.Control.Dirty/Lost_focus/subform_Before and After Update, The exit event of the

The database is opened in Shared mode, Default Record Locking is set to Edited Record, Open http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30084663/error-3218-could-not-update-currently-locked Database by Record-level locking. Each user has their own FE. The users are physical therapists writing their treatment notes. The workflow is for the front desk to enter the patient information (name, diagnosis,etc.) and then the therapist treats the patient and writes their notes on a different form. It may take them 5 to 15 minutes to complete the note. Each treatment note form includes multiple memo fields. They http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=208415 receive the 3218 when they click the 'Save' button. The users report that no other user has the same patient record open (either at the front desk or another therapist) when the error is received. There are usually only 2-3 users using the system at any one time and it is is a small office so it is easy for them to verify if anyone is on the same patient. The error occurs several times a day. Appreciate your help.

You can then set the one form's locks to Edited Record if you must but I would highly suggest that only as a last resort (if people keep getting an error of "someone else has edited this record..etc.). Normally, even in a multiuser environment, you won't run into collisions very often unless you have a situation where more than one

Posts 916 Error 3218 - Could not update; currently locked I recently built a db and it has been in use at my company for a couple of months now, but something new just cropped up - Error 3218, Could not update, currently locked. I have combed the internets en masse only to find too many different reasons why this is happening. The one thing that I know is that this may possibly be the first time that two different users were attempting to add records simultaneously (which is something I thought that they were supposed to be able to do after the db split). So I come humbly to ask for help in correcting this error. It seems that it stems from Record Locking, but I am not really sure what I would need to change to fix it. I would also ask that you be so kind as to explain the answer to me, and why it works (if you can) instead of just the solution; I am here to learn, not just get a project done!
