Hey..
I'm having a rather strange problem that no one can fix, apparently. My teacher is even baffled :S.
Basically, I created a custom menu bar, took off some of the defaults, but now I am having a problem. I deleted the original custom menu bar and now I am posed with the following error when my database is loaded (I am using an autoexec script that opens the switchboard).
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks a lot, again, guys :).
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 can't use the menu TOOLS because it is deactivate for all mdb.
Is it deactivated from portion of VBA code?
How Can I restore this menu?

If I wanted to build a database in Access can I make my own file bar. Let's say that I wanted to build a gun inventory but wanted the tool bar at the top to have the specific files I want people to click on. How is this done? Is it done with another program used as a developer with Access database? Hope this makes sense.

Any ideas are appreciated.
What is the best way to turn all the menu bars and tools bars off and back on when a form opens and closes? Can you just loop through the numerated objects?

Hello Everyone,
Before I pose my question I would first like to applaud and thank this forum for the excellent and timely help it has provided me so far. The assistance I have received to date, from you as members, and via the search facility has been extremely helpful particularly as I am new to this type of stuff…
My question is this...
I would like to disable users from selecting the 'Edit - Delete Record' facility from my main form upon its load. From searching the various forums I found a method upon which to disable the whole 'Edit' menu but not the specific 'Delete Record' function. Please accept my sincere apologies if this has already been posted but I simply cannot find it readily via a standard/refined 'search'. It might be the fact that I am phrasing the question incorrectly?? I don't want to severely restrict my users by disabling/hiding the whole menu but would rather limit them to accessing this option via a password protected command button?
What I have found so far.
Private Sub Form_Load()
CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("Edit").Visible = False
End Sub
Any assistance/guidance would be very much appreciated
Kind Regards – Best wishes to all of the registered site members

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a custom menu on my db, but when another user logs on they have the same toolbar buttons and the same menu but more items that I have originally added. Is there a way to fix this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI asked a similar question some time ago, but the answer I got didn't help out a whole lot. Maybe someone else could help me out here. I have a split db which resides on our server. This will soon be joined with MySQL so that multiple users can log on simultaneously. I have created a custom menu bar with the only buttons that I want my users to have. So far the only person that has the buttons I chose on their screen is me, everyone else has more than what I specify. Is there a way that all of my users will have the buttons that I specify? Can this be done with code? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I was wondering if you could use custom menu bar commands to open reports and varying the recordsource of the reports according to which command you choose. For instance, if the user wants to view a report for January, he clicks on the January menu bar button. And I do not wish to use macros as there might be many macros to use.
Was looking at it and I am able to use my own vb functions but was wondering if I could use the tag field under the customise menu bar command to specify which records to filter to?
Maybe I should just use a form with all the code behind. lol... :p
I can't believe I haven't come across this problem before, but I want to add a button to a custom menu I've created. When clicked, this button will run some code I've written.
It may be that I'm losing it (no comments, please :D ) but I can't work out how to add a button that will run code of my choosing, as opposed to just opening a report, opening a form, etc.
Any suggestions?
I have created a menu bar in access 2003 and I have spent the last couple of hours designing icons in photoshop, however, when i come to import these icons to use on the menu bar I can't see anywhere to do so, only a button editor that isn't much use to me.
Is it not possible to import icons in this way (like you can for command buttons on forms)?
Thanks for any help
I'd like to create a custom toolbar that has links to subforms and dims the links (subforms) that have no data in them.
Catalog
Postcard
Letter
Bulletin
This would mean that there is data in the "Postcard", but not on the other subforms. Even though the others are dimmed, I want them to be active so that they can have data entered if needed.
Suggestions?
I'm working to put together a shortcut menu for a form that will be viewed as a datasheet. I'm trying to put together the vba to create the menu. I'd like a lot of the standard options i.e. sort a-z, filter toggle etc. I'd also like to add the menu option that is displayed in the default menu called "Text Filters". I've been unable to find the id code for that option, and since it, when chosen opens another menu, I'm not real sure how to code it. Here is what I have so far:
Sub CreateWIPShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbRightClick As Office.CommandBar
Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl
' Create the shortcut menu.
Set cmbRightClick = CommandBars.Add("cmdWIP", msoBarPopup, False, True)
[code]....

View 6 Replies View RelatedHow 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a program.mdb with a customized menu bar from Database Creations.When I open program.mdb in 2007 & 2010 the ribbon is disabled and the custom bar is displayed as it should be and all is OK.When I open the same program.mdb in 2013 the ribbon is displayed and the custom bar is missing
I have a clean compile and get no error messages.How do I disable the ribbon and get the custom EZ Menu Bar to display in 2013?.Following are the Options, Current Database, Ribbon and Tool Bar Option settings that is used in all Access 2007, 2010 & 2013 versions

I finally got tired of having 100 macros managing my different custom shortcut menus, and decided to figure out how to generate the shortcut menus programatically (because lets be honest, Macros are the devil.)
I found a good tutorial here : [URL] .....
and was able to create some basic shortcut menus like the following:
Code:
Sub CreateCopyShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbshortcutmenu As Office.CommandBar
Set cmbshortcutmenu = CommandBars.Add("CopyShortcutMenu", _
msoBarPopup, False, False)
'ID 19 adds copy command
cmbshortcutmenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, Id:=19
End Sub
Nice and simple, now I have a copy command. But the problem is that I also need some custom commands. Most (possibly all?) of these would be function calls.
I am currently in the process of creating a pop-up menu to allow my users to do some simple text formatting.I have used the following code to do so:
Code:
Dim cmbShortcutMenu As Office.CommandBar
' Create the new pop-up menu instance
Set cmbShortcutMenu = CommandBars.Add("popupFormatMenu", msoBarPopup, False, True)
' Add the bold button
[code]....
The problem is that I now want to add the FontColor picker control and I keep getting an error.I think the problem lies in the type of control I want to add. According to the Microsoft support files I downloaded the fontColor control is of type Gallery and ID = 11949, so the code should look something like this:
Code:
cmbShortcutMenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, id:=11949
I need to replace msoControlButton with something else.
Help! I'm not sure how I did this, but NO matter what database I go into i can see any toolbar or menu bar. Yes I tried the shift key. How do I turn it all back on?
When I right click I can get the database startup properties, everything has the check, yet I can't see any toolbars or menu bars. I've searched though the help, and I can't see to find out how to put it back.
I'm not sure if anyone has come across this but here goes:
I'm creating a custom shortcut menu in which I'd like to maintain some of the filter functionality that comes with the standard Access shortcut menu. The customize menu window allows me options for "Filter By Selection", "Filter Excluding Selection", and "Remove Filter/Sort", but I do not see the menuitem "Filter For:" as an option (of course the one that I would most like to have).
Anyone that can point me in the right direction or know a work-around?
Thanks,
Jeff
Hi everyone,
I was trying out the options on the startup item of the tools item on the menu bar and my access window has gone except the following menu items: File,Window and Help.
Can someone kindly show me how to bring back these seemingly lost items?
Thank you for your willingness to help me out!
Does anyone have a Jet to ANSI SQL conversion tool they could either send me or recommend:confused:
