I am having a problem with my form. When it opens up, it is maximized, which is what I want. However, the vertical scroll bar on the right does not begin at the top of the form, but towards the bottom. I have to scroll up each time so that I can see the top of my form. Is there a way to make the form startup at the top of the form?
View RepliesIs there a way to change the vertical scroll bar position to always be at the top when I move from form to form. Right now, it will start at the top, but when I move to a different form and back, the vertical scroll bar is positioned in the center. I turned off the autocenter property of the form and saved it in the desired position, but that doesn't work. My form is maximized when it opens. I would greatly appreciate some help. This has been an annoyance for quite some time now.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Logo which is actually startup form. I need a code to position this statrup form on near to bottom right corner of access window in all resolution. How ever at present I am using code :
Res = GetScreenResolution()
If Res = "800x600" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 9600, 5600
ElseIf Res = "1024x768" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 13000, 8000
ElseIf Res = "1152x864" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 14500, 9500
ElseIf Res = "1280x720" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 16200, 7200
ElseIf Res = "1280x768" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 16200, 7800
ElseIf Res = "1280x1024" Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 16200, 11400
End If
But some times user use the application on different resulotion other then mentioned in code, the position of startup form looks awkward.

how to make my form controls change size / position as my form is resized / loaded on a computer with a different resolution. Several of the tutorials out there suggest putting code on the "on resize" property of the form. When I looked at the Northwind database to try to mimic their code however, it looks like they must be doing something different as there is no on resize code under the form properties and I was unable to find the code they do use.

THANKS,
I'm trying to ensure that each time a new record is opened in a form, that the cursor is positioned in the first control/field... I have this throughout most of my application but not in a few individual forms.
I know I've done something in the past to ensure that this happens, but I can't remember what it was...
Thanks,

hi i have a button that loads a report. If i then close the report the form, which is set with no border/no max/min/close/non movable and opens maximised, places itself off centre. I want it to stay maximised full screen. The only work around i currently have is when the use moves the mouse over the form it maximises itself. Will this then be calling this function everytime the mouse moves(cant be very efficient). is there a better way to maximise the form Immediately after closing the report.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to make forms open scrolled to the top and have had very little success.
I found a function on the following site http://www.lebans.com/SelectRow.htm that works great as demonstrated and when I attach the following code to a text box the form scrolls to the top.
Private Sub Text98_Click()
Dim lngret As Long
lngret = fSetScrollBarPos(Me, 1)
DoEvents
End Sub
What I am trying to do is have the form scroll when it opens but by attaching the above code to the form's on_open event there is no effect.
What am I doing wrong.
Any ideas
I have a form in datasheet view, with the record ID column frozen and users typically scroll to the right to see certain columns. Different users scroll to a different position.
I dont have the option to reduce the number of columns or create separate forms for different users, - they all need to see all the columns but typically a user scrolls horizontally to see a certain set of columns most of the time. I want to save that position for the next time they open the form.
I setup a splashScreen in startup, and I uncheked all check boxes.
Now, as soon as I load database starup form shows, and does
not allow to do any modifications.
Is there any way i can "Undo" or drop splashScreen, and get back
to normal loading of database.
Thank you.
I've created several Split forms that have the data input fields in the form with the relevant query datasheet shown below. As you tab through the form fields, the various cells in the datasheet are highlighted and move across the data row (as one would expect!). I want to put a particular field / Column at the start of the datasheet so that it's always available for view, but it seeme that what ever I do the column ends up back at the very far end of the data row!
I've sussed out the "Freeze Fields" facility which will keep the first column visable whichever cell is highlighted across the data row.
The column I want as the first column currently sits at the far end of the data row. So far I have dragged the row to the first column position; I've arranged the Query driving the form so that the column is at the front of the row, both in design view and in datasheet view, but to no avail. Everything I do to put the column at the start of the row in the datasheet shown below the form ends up with it back at the far end of the row the next time I open the form.
On main form cursor working is goods as per default. But after come to in Subform its shown the cursor position in the last filed. So every new record is shown as the same last field. How to do this cursor position will be change in subform as per default?? and every new record its need to show as per default TabIndex "0".
I have checked my Tab Index & Order Settings also it is good. But its shown as last filed in subform
I have attached the Screen shot.
I am a newbie to ms access and forms and I have a small problem with a form. The solution has lots of different forms with different tabs for each section. This particular tab has a few sub forms in it. When I switch into the specific tab in question, the screen moves down ever so slightly and I always have to scroll up to see all the other tab headings.Is there a way to do something by code or a property setting I can use to make the page start from the top without users having to scroll up each time?
I hope I have explained myself clearly enough, if not I will be more than happy to provide more info.
I've never actually had to do this before so i dont know how! Im sure its really simple.
How would i set the database to automatically open a form when the database loads up?
Hello Guys,
I have proj name m1.mdb which has forms and reports.I have 2 forms form1 ,form2.In form2 I have button that creates new database named m2_date.mdb and creates report and form1 by using property DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, "Microsoft Access", sFilename, acForm, "form1", "form1", StructureOnly, StoreLogin,now this form1 has to be seen first when any user doubleclicks m2_user.mdb,so my question is, is there any way i can setup startup form properties dynamically ,without using startup form manually from tool properties of toolbar.
hope to get answer..
thanks

Ok, I have a Forms_Menu that has many command buttons which control other functions of the database. What I want, is when a user opens access to have a page displaying a title, and then the Forms_Menu to open up automatically. Does anyone know how to do this???
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi guys. I am stumped with a 45 second delay when I startup my application. I get the delay on networked workstations only when another workstation is up showing the Main "switchboard" form. Each workstation has their own copy of VBA (not compiled) with networked versions having linked tables to the server's .mdb
It seems like the workstations know that the main form is up somewhere else and need to negotiate with it. All have the (Access 2000) Default open mode to Shared, Default record locking to No Locks, and Open database using record-level locking On.
:confused:
I am trying to display only my form on startup.
Tools-Startup allows you to eliminate"Database window" default menu and toolbar but I can't eliminate "Microsoft Access" window.
I don't know if there are other settings that I am not aware of or there has to be code built.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
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.
Hello,
Sorry if this is a really dumb question - I have just started using Access and I couldn't find the answer to this doing a forum search.
I have made a database consisting of a table and a form. All I want to do is get the form to appear automatically when the database is opened. I am using Access 2007.
Many thanks,
Sammy
I bet there is a simple explanation for this.
I have a form which opens automatically when the database is opened, but I want it to open in the maximised view so it takes up the whole screen.
Hello,
I have a couple of buttons on a form that I am havinga little trouble with.
The first button increments an integer variable which changes the colour of a box dependant upon the value. When a new record is opened I want it to be 0 which sets the colour. So on the form load event I have put Status (variable identifier) = 0.
when a new record is pulled up the box is white, should be a different colour, vbgreen, when I click on the button to increment it changes, so where should I put the declaration so that for each new record the colour is reset to the starting colour.
The other slight problme that I have is that another button inserts the time into a memo field. If I click the button again it just over writes the previous time stamp.
Is there a way to put each new click on a new line? Also I want to preced the time stamp with a a statement like the frist click was at time(). The second click was at time(). So I guess that I need to just increment a var for each click to then wrire 1st click, 2nd click etc. But how do I get the "1st click text/2nd click" text and again where do I put this variable so that it begins at 0 for each new record?
Many thanks.

I have been building a new db in my personal drive at work which has been working perfectly, until I transfer it to the main network drive so that others can use it.When I try to open it, I now get an error saying that windows cannot access the file (code 0x80070002) - although it does in fact open it anway, eventually.
I have removed and re-instated various bits of code, and discovered that it's linked to the 'Display Form' function within Access Options > Current Database, that I have used to open the form 'Homepage' when the db is opened. When the dropdown is set to 'None', the db opens fine, but when a form is selected, the error occurs. I have tried using an AutoExec macro to open the Homepage form, but this generates the same error too.
I have on very large form in my db that takes several seconds to load. I want to optimize things, so I am trying to have it load hidden in the background when the db first starts up, this way it can be immediately called on when it is needed later. Please read further :
I want to have a splash screen that loads as well. I have set the splash screen to the default form when the database opens. However, I am not quite sure how to get the other form to load in the background as hidden, AFTER the splash screen opens and appears. I tried calling it with the oncurrent event of the splash screen, but then splash screen wont appear until after the other (hidden) form has finished loading. I have tried different orders of events, but am having no luck getting the desired results.
Summary: I want the splash screen to show first, then the big form to open (hidden) in the background. The user can click on a continue button on the splash screen and then the main switchboard will open.
Please Could any one help out, i have this Database am building for students in a school, The attached WORLD file respresnt a query in the database. The Position in class and Position in level is suppose to grade the student automatically i.e 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th e.t.c. according to the score in a particular subject in their class and in the level.
I dont know how to go about this, am not even sure if this could be done using the query or i should do it using VBA on the report sheet that i generated from the query.
If any one has any idea on how to go about it please let me know it will be highly appreciated.

if i open a form which has 100 records in it, in the navigational buttons at the bottom i can see the number of the record which i am viewing ... for instance record 24 of 100 ... Now if i decide to set the navigational buttons to not be displayed, is there any way through code, in which i can get the record number (for example Record 24) ?
Thank You
