Disable Min / Max
Sep 8, 2006Hi
I know how to disable the min / max buttons on a form, but can anybody provide help with disabling the Min / Max buttons of the access application itself, I recently found some code that somebody had posted to disable the "X" button, now I would like to disable the min / max function as well.
Many thanks

Disable Shift Key, F11 Etc..
Oct 31, 2005Hi,
I am just about to set up user level security for my database. Before I do, how do I disable the holding the shift key thing when opening a database to get into the database window?
I want to make it so the users can't see the database window or access the backend data. As I will need to give permissions to use most of the tables, how is this done?
I am using Version: 2002 (10.0) XP
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Disable The [Shift] Key
Apr 26, 2007I need to disable the [Shift] key so that when the users open my MS Access database, they cannot by pass the open form and display the database window.
We had code that worked correctly with an MS Access 2000 MDB, and even works with an MS Access 2003 ADP, but the same code is ignored by MS Access 2003 MDB.
We add Module named "DisableByPassKey", here is the code...
Public Function SetProperties(strPropName As String, varPropType As Variant, varPropValue As Variant) As Integer
On Error GoTo Err_SetProperties
Dim prps As AccessObjectProperties
Dim prp As AccessObjectProperty
Dim isPresent As Boolean
Set prps = Application.CurrentProject.Properties
For Each prp In prps
If (StrComp(prp.Name, strPropName, vbTextCompare) = 0) Then
isPresent = True
Exit For
End If
Next
If (isPresent) Then
prps(strPropName).Value = varPropValue
Else
prps.Add strPropName, varPropValue
End If
Exit_SetProperties:
Exit Function
Err_SetProperties:
If Err = 3270 Then 'Property not found
Properties.Append prp
Resume Next
Else
SetProperties = False
MsgBox "Runtime Error # " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbLf & Err.Description
Resume Exit_SetProperties
End If
End Function
The code does not cause an error, it just seems to do nothing. When I set the [Shift] key to "disabled", then re-open the database, the [Shift] key works once again.
If you have any ideas, it would be great.
Thank you!

Jan 19, 2008The code to disable shift keys at start up that has been posted here numeroous times is causing me problems. I am a complete novice with vba. but i cannot seem to get it to work and there seems to be a problem with the following line of code:-
db.Properties(strPropName) = varPropValue
Can anyone explain what may be going wrong. The shift key still by-passes and no password is asked for. If I do click the button on the start-up screen and enter the password I get error 3270 and the line above is highlighted.

Disable Button
Jan 21, 2006I want to disable the button "cmdNew" unless certain criteria are met. Here is the code that runs in Form_Current :
Private Sub Form_Current()
Me.cmdNext.Enabled = (Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > Me.CurrentRecord)
Me.cmdPrevious.Enabled = Me.CurrentRecord > 1
Me.cmdLast.Enabled = (Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > Me.CurrentRecord)
Me.cmdFirst.Enabled = Me.CurrentRecord > 1
If (Me.cboStatus.Value = "Approved" Or Me.cboStatus.Value = "Approved as Noted" Or IsNull(Me.cboStatus) Or Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > Me.CurrentRecord) Then
Me.cmdNew.Enabled = False
Else
Me.cmdNew.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub
The navigation buttons work flawlessly but the cmdNew button still is enabled when it shouldn't be. THe idea is that is will be disabled if:
-current record is not the last record
-cbostatus is blank(null)
-cbostatus is "approved"
-cbostatus is "approved as noted"
The only code that seems to work is the "me.recordsetclone.recordcount > Me.currentrecord" .
Am I going about this the wrong way? How can I check what is in the cbostatus box and have the cmdnew button enabled/disabled based on its value.
Thank you
Disable Menus
Jan 30, 2006I have the following code in the on_load of all of my forms to disable all menus:Dim i As IntegerFor i = 1 To CommandBars.CountCommandBars(i).Enabled = FalseNext iThe problem is that when I open a report in preview mode I cannot close, print, etc.Two questions:1. Is the above approach the best way to disable all menus and toolbars?2. How do I add a custom toolbar (already created) to the report preview only. I've tried doing in in the properties and by me.toolbar = "custom toolbar." Neither approach works. I suspect that the code I've used to disable the menus is keeping me from adding custom menus where I want them?I should also mention that I have also turned off all of the menus, toolbars, etc. in the options/startup.Thanks for your help!

Switchboard (Disable Items)
Jul 18, 2005Hi Folks,
I have created a switchboard that has 8 more sub switchboards. They have got items from 1 to 8. My database is setup with users and their authorised access levels. Admin has level 1, Manager level 2, Users Level3. Now what i want is that when admin logs in all the items in the switchboard must be available, but when a Manager with leve 2 or a user with level 3 logs in to the database then certain items on a specific Switchboard must be diabled For example lets say Sub Switchboard No 3 and its item number 4 (SwitchboardID = 3 and Item Number 4) should be disabled. I tried searching it on the Forum but no use. All i request you is to help me in this issue.
Warm Regards

How To Disable The Properties Window
Nov 30, 2006I was hoping someone knows how to disable the ability for users to gain access to the properties window.
When viewing a form (or any object), one can usually right click, click on the corner of the form, or a few other actions and gain access to the properties option. If selected, the properties window is displayed with all the object's properties.
Is there a way to NOT allow the users to select this option? i.e. to disable this option from the menu list?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Disable Button On Toolbar
Mar 5, 2007Hi all,
This has to be simple, but the solution eludes me.
I have a database that works really weel, but I need to do some tweaking to the toolbars to "grey out" the "sort ascending" and "sort descending" icons so that hte users do not mess with those and change how the recoerds display.
There has to be an easy way to disable those two buttons or an alternate way to ensure that the form basically ignores them.
Thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedEnable/Disable BypassKey
May 1, 2007On searching the forum, I found the following post for enabling/disabling BypassKey. I did as instructed but on clicking the label, it gives 'syntax error with 'On Error Goto' in red color and highlighted.
Hello af1112 welcome to the Forum...
I use this code that ghudson supplied at the beginning of this post.
First of all create a copy of your db (Just incase.. )
Now......
Create a label on a form somewhere and make it invisible to other users
(I have mine hidden in my main Switchboard)
The idea is that by clicking on the label you can activate/de activate the code without anyone else knowing about what you are doing..
Name the label "bDisableBypassKey" & hide it somewhere in the corner of your screen or something.
Copy & Paste the code inbetween the bold text to the onclick event of the label you have just created
Private Sub bDisableBypassKey_Click()
On Error GoTo
Err_bDisableBypassKey_Click
'This ensures the user is the programmer needing to disable the Bypass Key
Dim strInput As String
Dim strMsg As String
Beep
strMsg = "Do you want to enable the Bypass Key?" & vbCrLf & vbLf & "Please key the programmer's password to enable the Bypass Key."
strInput = InputBox(Prompt:=strMsg, Title:="Disable Bypass Key Password")
If strInput = "MY PASSWORD" Then 'Change password to your own
ChangeProperty "AllowBypassKey", DB_BOOLEAN, True
Beep
MsgBox "The Bypass Key has been enabled." & vbCrLf & vbLf & "The Shift key will allow the users to bypass the startup options the next time the database is opened.", vbInformation, "Set Startup Properties"
Else
Beep
ChangeProperty "AllowBypassKey", DB_BOOLEAN, False
MsgBox "Incorrect ''AllowBypassKey'' Password!" & vbCrLf & vbLf & "The Bypass Key was disabled." & vbCrLf & vbLf & "The Shift key will NOT allow the users to bypass the startup options the next time the database is opened.", vbCritical, "Invalid Password"
Exit Sub
End If
Exit_bDisableBypassKey_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_bDisableBypassKey_Click:
MsgBox "bDisableBypassKey_Click", Err.Number, Err.Description
Resume Exit_bDisableBypassKey_Click
End Sub
Now paste this code in the Double click event of the same label
Private Sub bDisableBypassKey_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Private Sub Disable_Click()
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Function ChangeProperty(strPropName As String, varPropType As Variant, varPropValue As Variant) As Integer
Dim dbs As Object, prp As Variant
Const conPropNotFoundError = 3270
Set dbs = CurrentDb
On Error GoTo Change_Err
dbs.Properties(strPropName) = varPropValue
ChangeProperty = True
Change_Bye:
Exit Function
Change_Err:
If Err = conPropNotFoundError Then ' Property not found.
Set prp = dbs.CreateProperty(strPropName, _
varPropType, varPropValue)
dbs.Properties.Append prp
Resume Next
Else
' Unknown error.
ChangeProperty = False
Resume Change_Bye
End If
End Function
To Test
click on your label to activate the password prompt
and type in the wrong password (that will now disable the bypass key) and you will not be able to open the db by holding down the Shift button
to disable enter the correct password and you will be able to use the Shift button
Would someone help?

May 9, 2006Hi there I am new to Access and I am currently modifying an existing DB. Currently this DB has a main table which holds a bunch of Patient info such as:
Name
Age
AssignedStaff
Condition
etc....
The assigned staff field is populated from another table (Staff), which holds all the staff members working at the institution. However a couple of these individuals have left and they no longer want their name to show up on the form when inserting a new record. However we do want there name to still be in the DB for historical reporting purposes......My intital thought was to create another field in the Staff table that would hold either a "Active" or "Inactive" entry. Then just have a simple If statement to see if the staff member is active or inactive. Does anyone see any problems with this solution or propose a more efficient method.
Thanks
Insert New Record Disable
Sep 27, 2007Hiya,
I've inherited an Access 2003 database, a rather complex one. The database has a login, with the credentials stored in a table which I can view (minus the pass, which is masked). Of course, for security reasons, I shouldn't be able to just add a record and create a new ID, in essence bypassing all security. As such, the table with the user records does not permit new records to be added. What steps need I take to add new records, the option being greyed out in the interface, no new record bar available at the bottom of the table.
Any insight is most appreciated.
