I've recently noticed that I cannot get back my main table screen. I'm stuck in the forms..Possibly because of the settings.. I'm not sure.
Is there any easy way to get back to get back my main screen?

Hi,
I have seen a MDE Access db last week with 2 new things in it
1. The db had 2 customized menu (1st one was in English and Second one
was in Local language). There was small button on customized menu bar called 'E' by clicking of which the whole customized menu was
replaced by English menu bar. In fact the db was created for bilingual
user. There was only one customized menu bar at a time. Means if you click command button 'E' it was replacing the local language menu bar with English bar and if you click 'E' second time (This time the button caption is in local langauge), the English language menu bar was re-appearing
2. When the user clicked to change menu to English, all the forms and
report captions turned into English.
It was very new thing for me.
I am interested to apply the same tricks in my db so the user can
handle my db in local language even if don't know English well.
I would be grateful to If somebody amongst you know and donate to our
access family in a sample db (At least replacing menu trick) ...
Thanks,
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

Hello everybody,
I am having a strange problem and despite trying out all the suggestions already discussed in this forum, the problem still persists.
My DB is already complete and I have done the following
1) Startup menu/uncheck all the option boxes
2) Tools menu/options/unchecked "windows in taskbar"
3) converted the DB into mde. file
4) Disabled the shift key
However, despite doing all the above, the "Database windows" shows up behind all the forms.
As per suggestions given by many here, I have also used
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
This also does not work.
Also tried running the following in a macro from this link
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0019.htm
All the above have not worked and if anyone has any ideas or another way of doing this, I would really appreciate it.
Hy,I 've develop access database with several forms.I want to make my database window invisible behind forms.Also i want to make menu bar(shows file,edit,view....etc) invisible for one reason,all operation user need to do he can do on form.Thanks for help!
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm using Access 2007, with what I think is a normal database that I've built up over the past month (maybe 15 tables, <1000 records, 20 queries, 4 or 5 reports and macros). I'm not an experienced Access programmer, so I don't think I'm doing anything fancy with security settings or any other such stuff. (If I have, it's surely by accident, not by intent.)
When I try to back up the db using the simple office button -> manage -> backup method, access generates a date-stamped backup filename and opens a file save dialog for me, but it ALWAYS fails to backup the database. I always get the same error message when I click save, whether I save on my machine, or on a network drive.
"Could not use '<path to the current database dir><backname>.accdb; file already in use."
This same error occurs when I create a new blank database with a single Table1 in it, so I don't think it's my database.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I scoured the net for help, but nothing. I checked various Access forums, but nothing. So I arrive here after I've done my homework... thanks
I want to create a main menu page for my database. I have tried the Navigation form and obviously I am doing something wrong....because the tabs won't open the forms. We have Access 2010 at work and I would like to create something similar to this:
Cardinal Rap - Main Menu
[button] Input Monthly data
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables for appropriation, expenditures and revenue, each with their own respective button
[button] Reports
This button would take me to another screen that would would list the reports available each with their own respective button
[button] Monthly reconciliations
This button would take me to another screen that would list the tables necessary for my monthly reconciliations each with their own respective button that open that table.
The tabs in the Navigation form don't seem to do anything.
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!
I have a database with a Main Menu Form, containing a Button that loads my main data entry form. When the Button is Clicked portions of the data entry form that is loading shows through the Main Form Background (e.g. portions of the navigation bars, and portions of the boarder on the form that is loading.)
View 5 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!

Before anyone get to upset with me I did search the board looking for the answer but only got more confused. I found the code I wanted to shut down the toolbars and menu bars but I need to allow the print options on the menu bar. How do I allow the menu bar up but only allow printing ?

I was trying to change the form that appeared on Load by going to Tools>Startup and changing the settings there.
However now I have lost most my my menu bar i.e. Edit, View, Tools etc. I only have File, Window and Help. :eek:
How do I retrieve the menu bar in its original state?
In my access 2003 the principal menu is not more visible.
I have used the command:
CommandBars ("Menu Bar"). Visible = True
but it doesn't make to appear the menù.
What can I do?
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way that I can create a 'message' that will appear whent he mouse is scrolled over a button. I have command buttons that launch my reports but would want the user to know what fields are included in each report...therefor, they can put the cursor ontop of a certain button and a small list will show them what is in that specific report
Cheers :)
I have a question of creating a few menu bars.
I made 3 menu bars.
When the user log in the database, the database program will detect the user name, and then output his own menu bar.
It works fine.
However, I got a problem, when I created the first menu bar, the menu bar have control box for the forms, the other 2 menu bars do not have it.
How can I make 3 menu bars with control box, minimizs, maximinize, close form boxes?
Hello, I have created my own Menu bar in access and would like to add sub menus to it.
Any help? Thanks.
I could not find Menu design in Access...Is it available during design time?
When I searched for it I found AddMenuItem to programatically add menu...
I vaguely remember seeing menu design in VB 3.0 7 years ago...I am looking for something similiar..
This probably the simplest and stupidest question..please excuse me for that.
Thanks
I was just editing my Access database (stored on the intranet) when a message popped up saying "Disk or network error".
I clicked the only option ("ok") and closed the DB. When I reopened it, it said someone else was viewing it and I only had read permissions. I close it again, and see that in the directory where my .mdb file is stored I have the .ldb file remaining even though it isn't open.
I restart my machine, and try and open it again. I have to compact and repair the DB at Access' suggestion, yet now I only seem to have limited functionality....??
I.e. there is no Tools menu, I can't right click on forms or tables to choose Design View (although if I highlight them in the database pane and click the BUTTON for Design View I am able to proceed)....
What's going on?!!
I've tried going to File > Open and in the little arrow on the Open button choosing "Open Exclusive", but it opens and does the same thing as above...!!
I've checked a different database in Access, and I don't seem to have gone potty, in every other one I'm able to see the Tools menu, etc...?
Anyone got any clues as to how I can get my lovely database back on its feet and functioning properly? :confused: :eek: :rolleyes: :mad:

Hi,
I created my own menu bar in one MS Access file, let's say db1.mdb.
Can I import it to another database file (let's say db2.mdb)?
Thanks.
Greetings,
I have just opened Access and for some reason my menu bar is gone. I have fiddled for a few minutes try to find and restore it - but I am clueless. It is working fine in all other programs.
How do I restore it?

Hello,
I do not want any menu bar in some application I have made using a switchboard. In the start-up function I unchecked all the checkboxes but some menu functions keep coming back. How can I overrule this?
I am about to create the menu (navigation) structure for my system but wanted it to be fancy. Anyone got any suggestions or GOOD websites that have different menu types. any help/suggestion would be appreciate!
