Database Window Missing
Mar 29, 2006
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to display the database window that shows all the forms, queries, tables etc in a database?
I have an Access database with startup restrictions and startup login screen. I can open the database by holding down the SHIFT key to bypass the startup options but when Access opens there appears to be no Database Window. I can create new objects in the database ok its just that there is no main database window from where I can browse objects. This is driving me mad - i know it's probably something simple but I rarely work with access
thanks

I've imported somebody's access db which hides the database window by default. When I click the db window button in the toolbar, the db window pops up high up and is somewhat hidden by the toolbar. I can't pull it back down as the top is hidden and when I try to move the toolbar,the db window simple moves up so I can't grab it and move it. Any suggestions?

This may seem silly and I've seen no mention of it in this forum yet but the "Database Window" from previous versions of Access is now called the "Object Browser"? I had code to hide the database window on startup but can't seem to find a way to hide the object browser on startup. Any ideas? Also, is there another way to view my objects in ACC07 because this way is slowing me down tremendously! It's much more difficult to find the objects I'm trying to work on and visually see where I left off. Any help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Dear Friends I made my a stupid mistake and I don't know how to rectify it.
There is a inventory software built in access xp. In order to protect database I've cleared all the options from that is
a) Display Startup form
b) Display status bar
c) Allow Full menus(Changed with Custome Menu)
d) Allow Default shortcut keys
e) and foolish thing cleared Use special key also
I've given a task to modify program where I may have to add New form. I don't know how to unhide database window. pls suggest me what to do....

I have a weird problem with one of my databases. Out of a sudden, when I wanted to open that database the databse window did not show up anymore. With this I can not access my forms, tables etc. any longer. However, when I click on View->Databaseobjects and choose e.g Forms than I can click on the code icon and I can access my code as well as the corresponing form in the design view. I can not access the tables but when I click on the "show fields" in the design view the list of fileds is showing for the corresponding form.
I tried that database on 3 different PC's with the same effect.
Does anybody have an idea what could have caused that the database window is not showing anymore and/or how could I bring that window back.
Thanks for any help and advice

I need to find a way to not allow users to access the backend by using the database window. Is there a way I can password protect this?
Thanks

Think I've seen this posted on here recently but cant find it.
Is there a way to hide the database window so that only a form is visible?
Then if you need to view the database window you can press F11 to make it appear?

I am looking to minimize the access window when my database is opened. I already set it to do that from the startup menu, but all that did was open my specified form on open. I want it to actually only show my form w/ acces on the startup tray. Any suggestions?

We have an Access 2000 db, which has been used for some time and is split between a front and back end. We've come in today and tried to open the back-end, which contains only tables, and when it opens it's completely blank. We can't see any of the objects or the normal menu to access the tables, queries, etc. We can, however, import the tables into a new database, so they must be there.
Any idea why this has happened or how to stop it happening again.
Thanks.

Hi,
How can I hide the Database window with password protection?
For example, if someone attempts to access the Database Window, they would be promted to enter the password before they can see the tables and queries...
Thanks for your help

I have an Access FE app with an Access BE.
I need urgent suggestions as to how to prevent access to the database window even when the SHIFT key is pressed when loading the app.
This is very important so as to increase data security and prevent unauthorised data change by users.
Thanks for the expected response.

I recently created a database to be posted on a network. In order to eliminate users prying into the mechanics of the database, I unclicked some menus on start up. The database is also password protected. I did such a good job that now I can't get into the database window myself. I used shift while opening the database, which used to work, but now I get the password box which brings me to the switchboard form. F11 doesn't work either.
Does anyone know how I can reverse this process so I can get into my database window and get full menus again?

Hi
We have recently upgraded our computers and therefore reinstalled Office on the new machines. The opreating system is Win XP + patch 2. The version of MS Access is 2002
For all our databases I have chosen to hide the database window, so other user don't accedentally change tables and queries etc. Now the problem is, with the new computers, whenever I minize the database and then open it, the database weindow pops up right on top of every thing else automatically.
I have no idea why this happens and how to stop it. Could any one please shed some light. Your help would be apprecialted.
Regards

Hi All,
I have a database that is locked down with user-level security, and also have my startup settings set so Display Databse Window is unchecked.
This all works fine, and when the user opens the database, the form I want them to see appears, and everything else is locked down.
EXCEPT - if anyone minimizes Access, then maximises it again, the Data Window appears in the windows taskbar!! So anyone can click on it to display it in Access and can view all the macros, forms, tables etc that I've tried to prevent access to! :confused:
Anyone come across this before??
Thanks in advance, dglover

Can anyone help with this ANNOYING problem?!
The Database Window within Access on my computer seems to have kinda half disappeared under all the toobars at the top of the screen. Each time i open it it seems to have moved further up. The problem is, that because it is underneath the toolbars, I can't click on the window of it to drag it back down! Now, its got so far up that i can't even select any of my tables, forms, queries or reports because i can't see them!
Its SOOO annoying! and i have no idea what to do about it!
Help please.....:confused:

I have a .mdb that opens up to a form (a splash screen I would assume). However, I can not access the form design view or even get the database window. I thought limiting access to design view was done with .mde, even then you have access to the database window. Any explanation on this or help??
Thanks

Hi all~
I have a few forms that have a command button on them which prints the form utilizing the following code:
Set MyForm = Screen.ActiveForm
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, stDocName, True
DoCmd.PrintOfut acSelection
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, MyForm.Name, False
I have the Database window hidden from the users. However, when the user clicks the button to print the current form, it prints correctly, but it also displays the Database Window.
Is there any way to disable the database window showing up when the print button is clicked?

Hi,
I am used to access 2000 but at the moment I am using access 2003. When I first started using it, I had the usual database window showing - by this I mean the one that has the table, forrms etc listed on the left and when clicking on one of them the created tables, forms etc are listed as will as the option to create.
Somehow, this has disappeared. I have made sure that in the startup "Show Database window" is ticked, but after searching the net, have not been able to find any other suggestions as to how to fix this.
Hope some kind person can point me in the right direction so I can see the tables, queries that I have created.
Thank you for your time

Hello,
I woul like to programatically (with VBA code) hide and unhide the database window.
In Access 97, this can be done with Tools > Startup > Display database window box (check/uncheck).
But I would like my program does that himself : when the user launches the application, the database window should be hidden and when he leaves, the database window should be shown again.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
I have a database that uses a switchboard with a close button that runs several instructions before it exits. The problem is that some users have access to the database window and I need to prevent them from closing the database by hitting the X in the upper right.
Anyone know how to do this?

Hello team,
My database window is hidden.
I have a form with data about an article. When I click a button, another form opens showing a sales graph of that article.
On the form with the graph, I have put another button to print it. The code behind that button is:
Private Sub printpriceevolution_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_printpriceevolution_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim MyForm As Form
stDocName = "frm_priceevolution"
Set MyForm = Screen.ActiveForm
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, stDocName, True
DoCmd.PrintOut
DoCmd.SelectObject acForm, MyForm.Name, False
Exit_printpriceevolution_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_printpriceevolution_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_printpriceevolution_Click
End Sub
The funny thing is that after the printing (which works fine) my database window is shown, where it is supposed to be hidden.
Any idea what could trigger this? Does it have to do with pop-up dialog box settings?
Thanks
