Access 2010 - Search Field On Main Menu?
May 7, 2014
Currently I have a basic database with the following
Table 1 = "EmployeeT" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc.
Table 2 = "NewLabReportT" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract"
Form 1 = "MainMenuF" this is where I would like to have the search
Form 2 = "NewLabReportF" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract"
Form 3 = "EmployeeF" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc.
Problem:I would like to have on the Main Menu a drop down list with all of the fields described in NewLaBReportF ("Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract") and then allow the user to click a button to the side of it to alert a pop up.
In this pop up:
If they originally clicked "Report_Id" then have the message prompt then to "Enter a Report ID"
If they originally clicked "Submitted_By" then have the message prompt them to "Enter an employees Last Name"
etc...
Further More, after they enter the respective value in this box, have a FORM not a REPORT generate that lists all of the records that match the criteria. This way then can specifically click on each record individually and have it open directly up to it.

I have a main menu "MainMenuF" in my database and I would like the database to be able to be searched by any of the column headings. For example I have a table titled "NewLabReportT" this table has many column headings like "Submitted By" "Reviewed By" "Title" "Abstract" etc...
I would like my users to be able to click a radio button with the same column headers on this main menu and have a box that pops up to say "Enter search parameter" and have that parameter be searched in the table "NewLabReportT" and generate a FORM not a REPORT of all of the listings in the database that have that keyword associated to that certain category searched. That way they can "CLICK" the exact field they are looking for and have it open right up to that form.

Well, I made the move and am using Access 2010 now and I am running into a couple issues.
First off, I want to get rid of this menu on startup:
Not sure what it's called (ribbon, menu bar, etc). I am able to hide it using
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
...in the OnLoad event, but this only works when running the opening form from the form list. When the form runs at startup the menus do not hide.
Also I would still like to have the file menu available because sometimes the user need to access the print menu to choose an alternate printer.

I'm trying to do right click menu on listbox.
currently i'm trying to implement a right click menu which will show a simple messege box.
My problem is that the list box is on a pop up form which opened up maximized. Now when i'm right clicking on the list box i see the right click menu but when i'm clicking on one of the menu options, nothing happenning (it seems that it don't go to the function as it should). i've also putted breakpoints on the function but it never tips.
It's important to mention that if i'm setting the form popup option to no the right click menu works perfectly (when i'm clicking on one of the options i see its matching messege box).
I'm running the following vba code:
This is the mouse up event handler for my list box:
Private Sub Song_List_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
' Call the SetUpContextMenu function to ensure it is setup with most current context
' Note: This really only needs to be setup once for this example since nothing is
[Code] .....
setting up the "SetUpContextMenu" sub:
Public Sub SetUpContextMenu()
' Note: This requires a reference to Microsoft Office Object Library
Dim combo As CommandBarControl
' Since it may have been defined in the past, it should be deleted,
' or if it has not been defined in the past, the error should be ignored
[code].....

I am building a db and i want to disable the Shortcut Menu (pull down menu at form's title bar) to prevent the users from closing the main form.
There is a Disable Shortcut menu setting in the File/Options menu but the whole db gets the setting.
I simply want to deny the users from accessing the Shortcut Menu when on the Main Menu (or a particular form) but allow it on other forms where Printing is required via the Shortcut Menu.
Im looking at 2 options; edit the shortcut menu or force a form to disable that w/o affecting other forms.

I have a split database with several attachment fields that work fine.
When I try to create a new attachment field in the BE, upon opening the FE, I get the following error: "The search key was not found in any record."
I have tried several ways: first create the attachment entry in the BE, then I can't open the FE. Create it first in the FE, leave it unbound and then create it in the BE - same error.

Previously in Excel / Access 97 / 2003 I made a little tool that would search for files in specified locations - I modified the code so that it would search for files based on what was entered in cells.
I believe a lot of the old code doesn't work in Access 2010 and it seems like a lot of the old file searching code I used to use no longer works.
Is there code available that searches a directory and lists results?

I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)

Hey Guys,
Is there any way of deactivating the main Menu Bar ("File","Edit","Insert","Format") when a form opens?
I need to implement this for a single form to stop an idiot user from trying to break the system! :mad: He's not doing it on purpose - he's just ignorant and doesn't listen or understand when I try to explain to him NOT to add a record by using the "Insert - new record" command, but to use the command button on the form which has some built in safety features (such as password protection).
I've managed to get rid of some of the other ones by using the coding below:
Application.CommandBars("Form View").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting (Form/Report)").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting (Page)").Enabled = False
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rusty
:D

How to create custom menus in Forms in MS ACcess 2010. For example, I have a form fmrMainMenu. At the top of the form I want to create a menu labelled "Reports" that when clicked or hovered it displays a list of sub-menu options of all the Reports available in the database. Once the user makes a selection the report is generated. The functionality that I am looking for is similar to the old menu options like File, Edit, etc., in MS Office.

I know that ever since 2007 custom menus are not well supported as in 2003. From what I've read, outside to using 2003 to make changes, a person can create/update the menus using Commandbars in VBA.
Some coding to use Commandbars to create/update menus/toolbars for Access 2007/2010? It seems possible to do that, although I would expect it would be a lot of work. I've seen a few one-off examples to do specific updates, but so far nothing that would approach what was available in 2003.

I have recently created a small inventory database just for fun, but I am looking to expand my knowledge with Access since I have not dealt with it hardly at all. I would like to know how to create a regular main menu to the database that gives you options on what you want to do. I would like to be able to look up inventory by serial number, edit inventory, add inventory, and run reports from the main menu. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Here is what I am trying to do. I have a query with 2 fields. "Time In" & "Time Out". What I would like to happen is this. Whenever a character, let's say a "t", is entered into that field I would like the current time to populate that field. Right now we are actually typing in the time. I have the fields set up as DateTime fields currently.

I have a front end that I have distributed to four users. The front end sits on a shared drive and when I make design changes I just replace it and have the users copy it over to their desktops.
I set up a main menu for them to access the various forms, reports, etc. When I first open the front end on my desktop the main menu form is small and not taking up the entire screen. I put the cmd.maximize command in the on open event and still does not maximize the form when I open the database. I tried to size it and saved changes but still not working.
I just did a share session with a user and she opened the form and it was maximized on her desktop.

I want to create a main menu page for my database. I have tried the Navigation form and obviously I am doing something wrong....because the tabs won't open the forms. We have Access 2010 at work and I would like to create something similar to this:
Cardinal Rap - Main Menu
[button] Input Monthly data
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables for appropriation, expenditures and revenue, each with their own respective button
[button] Reports
This button would take me to another screen that would would list the reports available each with their own respective button
[button] Monthly reconciliations
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables necessary for my monthly reconciliations each with their own respective button that open that table.
The tabs in the Navigation form don't seem to do anything.

I have fields on the main menu where folks put in a start and end date prior to running a report. I'm doing a monthly report that pulls current month, and two prior months of data. For example, the user selects a date range of 10/1/14 to 10/31/14 the report will show August, September and October results.
I need the column headings to change each month depending on the date range they select to run the report so in November they will pull 11/1/14 to 11/30/14 and get September, October and November.
The headings for the columns would then adjust.
I put an unbound text box with the formula as follows in the control source of the report page header to pull the month that is equal to the current month minus two (I'm just showing one of the column headings formula):
=Format([Forms]![Main Menu]![EndDate]-2,"mmmm yyyy")
This is not working. It's pulling the current month which I have set to run for October so it should show August 2014.

Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.
