I'm currently using Microsoft Access 2000. In there I've created a Customized Menu. Now what I'm looking to do is - when I click a menu item, I want it to enable another menu item. I tried using "SetMenuItem Action" but it keeps on telling me that this function only works with customized menus. I'm sure I created a customized menu.
any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
I have the following script which customizes the right click menu.
The problem that I am having is that I call the script to add the right click from the form open event and then multiple users can not access the same database.
I use one for forms and then another for reports.
If I manually close the open forms then reopen them then multiple users can use the same database.
If I close and reopen forms with vba the right click still remains making the database not accessible to multiple users.
It is definitely this as when I comment it out from the open event of the forms then everything is OK.
I call the following from the open event of the form as follows
Code:
Public Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
FormsShortcutMenu
End Sub
The following is stored in a module
Code:
Public Sub FormsShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbRightClick As Office.CommandBar
Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl
On Error Resume Next
CommandBars("cmdRightClick").Delete
[Code] .....

Hello all:
Thanks for all your numerous help.
I posted this earlier, but got no response, your urgent help is required.
I usually get 2 error messages on my form.
When I set up the table, I made the date field mandatory. The first error message, error 3314, "The field 'Memo.Date' cannot contain a Null value because the required property for this is se to True. Enter a value in this field"
I would like to change this error message to:
"Enter Date of Memo"
The second error is:
Microsoft Visual Basic
Run-time error '490':
Cannot open the specified file
End Debug buttons.
I would like to change this error message to:
"The file does not exist/it has not been previously saved."
And I don't want the End or Debug buttons to show.
Thanks for your help once again.
Friends,
I would like to create my own input mask for a ssn field.
The problem is that my ssn field has 13 characters (text) and the following format 000-00-0000xx.
The xx stand for any additional 2 characters.
Is there a way I can create an input box for a similar format? Thanks.
When we use DoCmd.SendObject, the object name is always the same name of table, query or report.Can we customize object name to something else more descriptive? For example:
If I send the report "SalesPerSalesman" about John Smith,
the object name now is "SalesPerSalesman.pdf"
If i send the report "SalesPerSalesman" about Maryann Johns,
the object name would be again "SalesPerSalesman.pdf"
However , the object name I would like "SPS_JohnSmith.pdf"and the report for Maryann Johns, I would like as object name "SPS_MaryannJohns.pdf"
Syntax
DoCmd.SendObject ObjectType, ObjectName, OutputFormat, To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, MessageText, EditMessage, TemplateFile
ObjectName � Name of table, query, Report etc.

Hi,
I need to customize the sample Contact Management DB (CONTACT) that comes with MS Access 2000.
I removed the field ‘Region’ in the ‘Company’ table, in the ‘Company’ form, and in the ‘ContactAddress’ query, respectively. Now, when I try to access the ‘Enter/View Contacts’ form through the Main Swithboard's button, it shows a small warning windows asking to ‘Enter Parameter Value’, referring to "Company.Region." What did I wrong and/or should I do to correct this problem?
I'll appreciate your help.

i have a combo box on a payment form which shows existing permit #s. i'd like to make the sort order show the most recently added permit first. i clicked on the build button next to RowSource on the data tab of the properties of the combo box which opens the query my combo box is based on. there are only 3 sort order options...ascending, descending, & not sorted. can this be done?
the permits form has a button to open the payments form (payments can also be opened alone too - ie. if somone applies for a permit today but pays for it tomorrow...). usually this will not be the case but that is why i have to keep it either combo or list.
all help is appreciated.:)
I just split my DB into a front end and a back end. I only want the users to have access to 2 forms in the DB because the form already has buttons that link to all other forms and reports needed. How do I customize the front end view so that they only see these 2 forms?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI created a database for obtaining customer information at a trade show. The entry form is set to Pop up. Entry in data fields is required. I set a macro at the end of the entry form, "New Record Macro" to save the record and then to GoToRecord to create a new blank form for the next person to fill in. When a field is left blank, an error screen pops up using the actual name of the field left blank. Then a Macro Single Step error screen pops up. I need to replace these pop ups with customized directions. I'd like to completely eliminate the Macro Single Step error. I have no experience in Visual Basic. I am using Access 2010.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
Is there any way to customize append query confirmation message? Unclicking Confirm Tools-->Options-->Edit/Find-->Confirm-Action Queries disables all warning messages.
My query takes some records from one table and append them to another table. When I run the query, first warning message says "Warning you r about to run an append query that will modify data in your table" (this is the message I do not want to see) and then if OK is clicked, the message says "you are about to append XXX rows...(this is the message I would like to customize)
How can I customize the 2nd message?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using Access 2007-2010 and I was able to create a report but now I want to include a stacked bar in it.
My report shows one record at a time, so the values for my chart change accordingly. The chart should have four columns: Student, Homemaker, Retired, Employed I have assigned a colour for each category in "Edit" mode (by clicking separately on each column). However, sometimes the results don't show all four values and then my stacked chart only has 3 categories, but I would like it to show the missing category and just have value as 0. But most importantly the colours get all messed up. Can I permanently assign a color for each column?
Also the order is not how I want it to show. Right now it's in alpha order..how can i customize the order of the columns?
I tried doing this in datasheet - saved; but when I switch to a report view - everything changes back...

View 1 Replies View RelatedOk, This is something I have long wanted to do, but cannot figure out.
I am working on a database for a company that orders a large number of Items. I have these all in one table (itemCode, itemDescription, price, categoryCode, etc). I have another table with categorys (categoryCode, categoryDescription) . Each Item is asigned a categoryCode and the appropiate relationship exsists. Right now I have a comboBox in a form that when selected opens a drops down menu with all the Items. Then another one auto loads up (continuous form) and I get the same drop down list of all the Items.
What I would like to have is a combo box then when it is selected shows the categorys, then based on that selection, I see all the Items that are in that category.
I guess another way of saying this simply is, I would like to create a drop down menu inside of a dropdown menu.
Is this possible? Does anyone have another alternative suggestion that might work well? I'm relectant to use a list box, becoase ideally it would be a drop down menu inside of a drop down menu as seen on many websites.
Thanks in Advance!

I have this database, and it was always customized every month. Is it possible if Access will customized the form using a form? The form has a category Order and under Order there are different order names to be checked, is it possible if the user will just add another order name and it will be added on the form.
