I would like to have a button on my form that would update a record to a closed status, but I want to have an "Are You Sure?" window pop up first. I did a search on "verify," "verification," "sure," and several others but haven't found what I need. I looked through my Access bible, with no luck.
I have two subforms in a main form. book_sub and book order subform. there are various subforms which i toggle in book order subform window by changing their properties with command button on main form. here is the code -
Code: private sub billq_click() Me.BOOK_SUB.SourceObject = "BILLQ" Me.BOOK_SUB.LinkMasterFields = "[BOOK ORDER SUBFORM].FORM![ORDER ID]" Me.BOOK_SUB.LinkChildFields = "[order ID]" private sub stock_click() Me.BOOK_SUB.SourceObject = "stock" Me.BOOK_SUB.LinkMasterFields = "[BOOK ORDER SUBFORM].FORM![BOOKCD]" Me.BOOK_SUB.LinkChildFields = "[BOOKCODE]"
Now the problem is when i change billq to stock it shows parameter entry window with caption [order id] twice. after clicking ok it does toggle the form to stock. then when i click button for billq again it shows the same thing.
the code works fine except showing parameter entry window twice with every toggle.
How to set a single form's property to act as it's own "overlapping window" in a database that is set to use tabbed documents. I want most windows to have the tabbed layout but there are a few that I would like to have pop out and be their own windows.
I noticed that the Northwind database did this somehow. if you click on one of the products from the home screen a form pops up in its own window. I tried reverse engineering it, but no luck so far.
ive been disabling the database window from the startup tab in MS access, just now when ive tryed to show it on startup it appears but its stuck in the top left hand corner and i cant move it! so i cant access the tables
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.
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
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?
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...
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.
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:
When the user open the database, the database window will be hided. But, when the user close the database with one form opening, it will show the database window for a while, and then close it.
How to prevent the database window to show at the moment?
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!
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??
