UI BuilderTM for Microsoft® AccessTM

  Tip - Deploying User-Level Menus with a Single Back-End Access Database

 

UI Builder - Enterprise Edition offers you the ability to offer user-level menus based on each user's NT login.  Maintaining user profiles and role-based menus can be simplified by moving key UI Builder tables from each user's local database file to a central back-end database.

 

1)  Create a new back-end database, or use the Microsoft Access Database Splitter utility to move tables to a new back-end database.

2)  Ensure the following tables associated with UI Builder are moved to the back-end database:

  • tblAppInfo
  • usysRole
  • usysUser
  • tblRoleMenu
  • tblSubMenu

3)  Ensure each front-end database you have deployed to your users is linked to the back-end database tables identified above.

4)  OpenGate Software recommends you turn logging on for each of the front end databases.  This will create a persistent connection to the back end database, reducing the time needed to open tables and change between forms.

Now when you add/modify/remove users and role-based menus, the changes will be immediately available to all instances of your database application without additional effort.
