Hi all...
I have a form that OnOpen does;
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
But, I also call it from another form, using a criteria, but because of the OnOpen event within the form it goes to a new record.
I need to be able to bypass the OnOpen event or find a different way of opening the form to goto a new record...
Please help!

Is there a way to verify the drive that an FE is opening from and then close if it is not where is should be?
I have a frontend that gets copied to each users C: drive by a .bat file. However, some just don't care about rules and proceedures and continue to open the frontend on the network drive. Since they map their drive to a specific letter drive for the BE that is where they are opening the FE from.
Thanks

I have a replicated databse that is used in both 2003 and 2007. Most development is done in 2003. I have stability problems with replicated/synchronised databases when running in 2007. The database normally opens with a switchboard menu, but on occassions the following error occurs:-
"THE EXPRESSION ON OPEN YOU ENTERED AS THE EVENT PROPERTY SETTING PRODUCED THE FOLLOWING ERROR: OBJECT OR CLASS DOES NOT SUPPORT SET OF EVENTS". Once this happens the databse will not open. I have to create a new replica which may or may not work. The strange thing is that I can run the database failing in 2007 from another rmachine that is running 2003, so it seems that the problem is specfic running 2007. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
I am using ACCESS 2010, win 7 Home Premium 64bit
difficult to handle error when executing my report. I put a code into OnOpen section but ACCESS states:
Quote:
The expression OnOpen you entered as the event property produced the following error: A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
Additionally it says in description:
This error occurs when an event has failed to run because the location of the logic for the event cannot be evaluated. For example, if the OnOpen property of a form is set to =[Field], this error occurs because a macro or event name is expected to run when the event occurs.
I am genuinely confused by that. I have also provided the code in the case if I am missing something I don't know yet. In a debug window, I have executed the code line by line and it worked. Whenever I try to open the report, the error occurs. Should I be aware of something when I write code for reports?
Below, the code in my report "module":
Code:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Call CreateTempTable
End Sub
Private Sub CreateTempTable()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim strTable As String
[code]....
On clicking a button to open a form I want to filter a list in a combo Box located on the forms subform
The main form is called 'Frm_orders'
The sub form is called 'sub'
The combo box field is called 'CostCodeID'
and I want to filter column 0 of the combobox which is Tbl_InvoiceCostCodes.Type to show records with a type of 'Repairs'
How do i make my subfrm record source switch to another saved query (qryPendingStatus) when it's opened from the form.
Heres what i am trying to accomplish:
I have a subfrm that i'd like to use to display info in 2 different forms.
There's a form currently for All statuses. Then another new one for Pending status. I'd like to use the same subform for this pending status form also, and in doing that my qryAllStatuses, but change to qryPendingStatus on the subfrm when i open the mainfrom.
This is on the open even ofthe mainform, but does not work (says method not founds...so obviouly i can't use ".Recordsource" here:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.subfrmJobInfo.RecordSource = "qryPendingStatus"
End Sub
How can i make this happen?
I was reading the threads related to bypass issues...
Now I know how to disable (or enable) shift key of a database with password using the code provided by ghudson:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=51479&highlight=bypass
In other thread he provided another way to enable or disable the shift key using another method: (developed by Ricky Hicks):
http://www.utteraccess.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=48&Number=233728&Forum=f48&Words=disable%20shift&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Main=233728&Search=true&where=bodysub&Name=&daterange=0&newerval=1&newertype=m&olderval=&oldertype=#Post233728
this one can easily disable or enable the shift key of any database... even if that is disable with the password protected method provided by ghudson...
so... my question... is there any method that will ONLY allow enable or disable the key with a password?
Is there a way to change the shift key and use another key on startup?? Security for me isn't a big issue... but I'd still like to protect things from being tampered with. I don't want to use MS security (I use it on other DBs) but its not really approriate on the one I'm developing. Any ideas??
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
On my form the first control which gets focus has a code which cannot contain a null value. It may happen nevertheless that users may need to just close the form without making an entry in this control (listbox).
Is there a way I can add a code to a cmbbutton to skip that forced entry meaning to leave the control null and exit the form? Thank you.
In Access 2010 I'm setting and unsetting the bypass shift key property - set to true for users and set to false for me, the developer. No problem but what I can't figure out is how do I work out whether it is set or not?

To set the AllowBypassKey property to False, follow these steps: 1. Start Access.
2. Open an Access database project.
3. In the Database window, point to Macro on the Tools menu, and then click Visual Basic Editor.
4. In the Visual Basic Editor, click Immediate Window on the View menu.
5. Type the following code or paste the following code in the Immediate window, and then press ENTER.CurrentProject.Properties.Add "AllowBypassKey", False
6. Close the Visual Basic Editor, and then close the Access database project.
7. Open the Access database project. Try to bypass the startup options that are set for the Access database project by holding down the SHIFT key while you open the Access database project.
The functionality of the SHIFT key that permits you to bypass the startup option is disabled. Although you hold down the SHIFT key to bypass the startup options, the startup options are executed. You cannot bypass the startup options.
I've used this parameter back in Access 2.0 where I ask for I put [What location?] as the parameter and users can put 'North' or hit enter to get all locations.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a db that I want to password, so that anyone pressing either F11 or holding shift down at the start, will be prompted with a password.
.....But, I want the user to be able to see the start-up form and associated forms without having to enter a password.
Is this something that is possible to do in Access97?
I have searched the forum for an answer, but can't find anything.
Thanks, Steve.
I know that I can startup MS-Access manually and bypass the startup options, including any macro that is set to run automatically, by holding the Shift key down when launching the application. I have:
Code:
Public Sub AccessStuff()
Dim myaccess As New Access.Application
myaccess.OpenCurrentDatabase(" orfs006slsops_repts\_RS DevSOPSOP.MDB")
Dim db = myaccess.CurrentDb()
End Sub
which works nicely and opens the database just fine. However, this mdb has a startup macro defined in it. I can't hold down the Shift key since I'm doing this from a program. In this case, how can I bypass the startup macro?
I have a database which is slowly evolving. Users needed a feature to delete some records without a trail and some with a trail from the form. So I added an apply action field in the subform using which they can delete a record without a trail and if they wanted to keep a trail they could do that too. When user selects "Delete Violations as it was entered in error" the system deletes the record completely which is what everyone wanted.
After six months of use now I am asked to add an audit trail. I managed to do that also. I also looked at Browne's method but my data structure does not match the requirements for that method. I used an alternate method. It works as intended except when a record is completely deleted using the code I mentioned above. Then it goes in the infinite loop. I somehow need to bypass the before update event so that the function to write the audit trail is not called.
I have attached the database ...
How to by pass error 3021 No current record
I know I can put the code below just don't know where to put it.
If Err.Description = "No current record" Then Resume
I attached a pic of my code that is causing the error .. and its okay I just want to by pass the message box.
I am able to bypass the shift key so I can disable ribbon and all menus at startup.
But the issue I have is anytime someone makes a copy of the database or it is their first time opening it they get prompted with the security warning:
"Security Warning - some active content has been disabled, click here to enable"
and it gives them complete access to see the back end of the database because while that warning message is popped up ... before they click "enable" they can go do anything in the database including see tables, data, and vba.
Once they click "enable content" that first time the bypass takes effect and the ribbon and all menus disappear, but if they dont click it they can navigate all around the db
how can i stop that?
There is a table with many columns. I want to add many rows to this table. The easiest way is to write a query to do that. But most of the columns have validation criteria, lookup tables, default values, nulls not accepted condition and what not. Where as my new records to be added have only the values in 4 columns and the rest are null. Is there a parameter that can be used to bypass all these controls and add the records? You are going to say "You will destroy the integrity and consistency of the database".
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form for displaying the Club Members info (like Name, Address etc).
I'd like on the top right of the total debit of each Member to be displayed.
For that reason I construct a Total query.
Problem is that when I'm trying to relate the MemberInfo form with this query,
all my records are locked due to the restriction that forces a Group By query.
Since in my case the info provided by this query is eitherway only for read puposes (just displaying the Balance) can you suggest me a trick or something to bypass the Access restriction concerning the Group By queries?
Thank you in advance
