I am using Access 2013 and I had a column that was accidentally deleted a few months ago. Is there anyway to restore a deleted column? If not, I have the majority of the data from that column saved in an excel spreadsheet with another column that is common to the access file and the excel file. Is there any way to take the data from excel and have it match up using the data from the common column?

I have an application that hides all the normal Access menus, so that the user can only use the buttons that I have put on the screen forms. Now however, when I open up access, I cannot get to any of the Access menus. It shows the toolbar, but not the normal FILE/EDIT...TOOLS/HELP menu.
How do I toggle this back on? Everything I have been able to find so far tells me to go to the TOOLS menu ---- I cannot get to the TOOLS menu.
Thanks. BTW, I am not really as stupid as this post makes me sound.

The novice that I am inadverdently deleted a record in a query. (I find it strange that it does not just automatically restore it the next time I run the query.) Is there any way I can get this record back without having to recreate the entire query?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there, i have looked into this but can't find a real solution. I have decided to keep certain of my forms maximised. I have tried pop up, or just have it ordinary sized but this doesn't work for my purposes.
So, the problem is that when the form is maximised, no matter what you do, you can't get rid of the "Restore Window" button in the menu bar. I have tried to make a workaround by putting "DoCmd.Maximize" in the Resize event of the form. The strange thing is that the event does fire but the form doesn't get maximised. Any idea why this is happening and what I could do to solve this issue?
Hey guys,
I figured out to maximize a window when a report is opened, but now I want to restore the window sizes when this report is closed.
I think I kind of know what to do with the DoCmd.Restore and something about OnClose, but I'm lost in the syntax. If someone could help me out by giving me the syntax and where to put this code that would be fantastic :)
Hi I have had a look on the forum but cannot find what I am looking for!!
I need to back up all the contents of the tables of a database in a certain folder and then restore it. The reason for all this is to be able to update the database with new features so that the final user can receive the update and restore the data.
How can I achieve this???

Is it possible to disable the Restore button that's displayed on the menu bar when a form is maximised?

I have a db app that has all forms maximized continually (I have set the vba code to do so on Open, Close and GotFocus events). From my app Home Page form the user can browse to other forms in the db. When another form is opened the window automaically maximizes. However, when the user navigates back to the Home Page it goes in restore mode. I haven't told it to do this anywhere. I have also tried saving the form stretched out to fit the full screen, so that if it goes into restore mode it at least still fills the screen, but it still reverts to a restored window (about half the screen). It doesn't matter what configuration I use in the AutoResize, AutoCenter properties either.
I have been developing custom db apps in Access for over 8 years. However, this seems to be a stupid (albeit simple) problem that is annoying me. I currently use Access 2003 and this issue is new (or so I believe since I never ran into the problem in previous versions).
Any ideas?
Thanks...
This is probably very simple and I am wasting time on it so I thought I would ask for a quick fix.
I have a form "Standby" that minimizes when a buton is pressed to open a second form "Filter." This works great. I want the "standby" form to restore to it's original size when I close the "filter" form.
I have tried several options the last being:
under the on close event
Private Sub Form_Close()
Forms!standby.Restore
End Sub
She no worky.
What is the quick solution for this please.
I'm using overlapping forms in my Access 2010 database.
When the form(s) open I want them maximized and I don't want the restore buttons to be available.
I have the Min Max Buttons set to None.
I have DoCmd.Maximize in the On Load.
I want the border style set to thing.
Is there any way to prevents the Restore button to be enabled?
I open the first form it's maximized as per the DoCmd.Maximize in the On Load. I then open another form (which has nothing to do with the first form) and it opens maximized. When I close the second form the first form is no longer maximized, it's restored.
Is there any way to restore menus/editibility when they have been removed using ACCESS OPTIONS > CURRENT DATABASE then uncheck 'allow full menus'? Database was created in Access 2007. I always keep a back up of the pre-menu-disable state of my databases, but this is someone elses for which I can't find a backup.

I have got buttons on my database to open / close everything so no need for them, even to hide the full Title bar probably be okay.
I am running Access 2007.
I have a database with several reports that get constantly printed, however I am having an issue with their display properties that sometimes cause errors.I need the report to come up on top of everything, maximized and with the menu bar available to allow for it to be printed or close it. The report window cannot have "minimize" or "restore" available to make sure nobody access any form behind it.
To achieve this in a form I generally use the modal property, however if I do this in a report I cannot get to the menu bar to print or close the print preview.Thinking that modal was out of the question, I went ahead and maximized the report on load and set its properties to the image attached. The db is then compiled (accde) and then distributed.
On my computer (it is being developed on my machine) the report loads fine (maximized) with no min, max or restore buttons and the print preview menu bar is shown with the print and close buttons available. See "My PC" image attached.On any other computer, the report opens up maximized but the report's restore and close buttons are enabled, however the print and close buttons on the print preview menu bar are greyed out. See "Other PC" image attached.Why the inconsistent behaviour when using the same front end?
I have created a custom menu used on my reports which contains all the icons I need and anchored them to the right side of the report. I have been able to remove the min, max and the close icons from the default report menu bar at the top right hand side as well as the "Ask A Question" dropdown. But I am not able to remove the "Restore window" button that comes with the report print preview.
How do I remove the "Restore Window" icon from the report's menu bar?

Hi all - I have my DB on a large network with many pc's and I need to set it so it when users open the program, the DB window will automatically "Restore Down" to a height and width I specify. Is there a way to code this in the DB itself? Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

How do I select the first column of a multi-column list box (called "List1") for a query.
A single column list box works fine.
Code:
SELECT Tble_Employee.Emp_No, [forms]![attendee_form]![list1] AS SelectedCourse
FROM Tble_Employee;
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi all,
In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc
I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be
populated with the next pay period end date after that date.
So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006
and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc
How do I do this?
Kind Regards,

I have created a cross tab to extract pipeline and sales for Q1 2014, Q2 2014, Q3 2014 & Q4 2014... the user can select the quater from a multivalued text box...
Now for the final output, have created another query which pull the above four quarter in each column from the cross tab...now the problem arises when i change the quarter to Q2 2014, Q3 2014, Q4 2014 & Q1 2014..it gives an error "Microsoft office Access database does not recognizes "Query name" as a valid field name or expression".
The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.
How do i make access change the column automatically when the Q1 changes to Q2...
I need to input a string into a column named "EventType". The code should first check if the column "Agent Name" contains any strings. If there is none, it will input "IBM Director" into the EventType column.
Once it has looped through the agent names, the code will then loop through the Details column and input into EventTypes based on what is displayed within the string.
These are the codes that I am using to achieve this, however nothing is being input into the EventType column.
Code:
Private Sub Command11_Click()
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Final")
[Code] ....
I think the problem lies with the code that checks the agent name. When I removed it, it managed to populate the EventType column based on the details. But I still need to find out how to check the agent name too.
