This one has me stumped:
When a particular database opens, its window is partially under (hidden by) the menu and tool bar. I can't click on the window's top in order to move it. I've tried several things (i.e. resizing the screen resolution, moving the menu and tool bars, resizing the window, etc.) with no resolution.
Any suggestions.
Am using Access 2003, Thanks, Joel
I have searched the forums but all I can find is code to hide the windows taskbar, when actually I want the opposite.
I have a form which I have set the following properties:
Pop-up = Yes
Modal = No
Control Box = Yes (Only while designing, will change)
Max/Min = None
I have also placed code in the On Load event namely "DoCmd.Maximize"
When the form loads, it maximises as I would like but it also covers the windows taskbar, which is something I don't think my users would like at all!!! Any idea how to get it to still maximise ( as this hides the db windows) but not hide the taskbar?
Whilst trying to tidy up my database in the Start-Up menu, I checked the boxes that hid all toolbars and menus, so now when I open the database, all I get is the opening Main form I created.
Does anyone know how to correct this please, I need to continue working on the database and it is driving me nuts............
Hello,
I have hidden most of the menu bars for my database (from the tools.. startup.. menu) and I dont have a backup of my latest database (yes, I know, stupid.) The only menus I have are File, Edit, Insert, Records, Window and Help. The database window is also not displayed.
How do I get them back..? My database is set to load a form on startup, all data is accessed via a set of forms linked from the first. I cant access the tables, design view, anything.
Help!!
Hi,
I was wondering if i could get some help here. In the startup under tools option in the menu in Access 2003., is
there any way of coding it so it would display windows database, allows
display status bar and other settings there?
Currently, i have unchecked pretty much everything except "Access special
keys" when setting up a certain form to be a startup. By default, we don't want to see all the tables in the windows database but rather the actual start up form.
what we would like to do is to allow only the certain group of people to be
able to view the windows database without using "hold on to shift key" button to
access to windows database.
Thank you in advance
I have a problem. This problem is that I cant see the Database objects (Forms,Report,...) in the Windows task bar. I want the user to be able to see any opened form, or report directly in the task bar as any file opened by the Windows user.
I have tried to check on the (Show Windows in TaskBar) option available in the Tools -> options of the MS Access, but it doesn work with me.
What is happening now that I am forced to show the Menu Bar and use the Window menu to switch between the objects, however, This will not be OK for me because my system hides all the command bars the MS Acccess use.
Is the any way to solve this hard problem?
Hello Everyone!
I've installed the windows XP. Also, I have an ODBC connection to ACCESS 2000 database.
My scripts are already reads data from ACCESS databse. But it is failed to create new table in database.
What may this problem be solved?
I have several data entry forms in my DB. What I would like to do is capture the windows user name of the people adding records and changing records. How do I go about doing that? I was think of an on change event to a given field that would then pull the username and insert it in another field/object.
Lets say the an on change of me.cmbModel update txtUserName.
All of the sudden I get an error message when I try to open my database from a file rather than through Access. If I open Access first and open the file that way, there is no problem but if I click on it from Windows Explorer, I get the error.
See picture.
I have a database which is now reasonably finished and am looking slightly ahead at how it can be accessed by the staff. The first clinic has two stations that need constant access to it, namely the clinic area and the reception area.The second clinic is about 3 kilometers distance away from the main clinic and will also need constant access which, I presume,would be by hosting the database on a Windows based Server, to which all three locations would connect and then be able to use the database directly. When I say Windows Server I mean as could be used to host a web site on the Internet rather than use of an internal Intranet system.
Should I split the database and only host the backend part on the server (i.e. the tables)?Does the whole database need to be uploaded to the Windows Server?Is any other software required to make this work?I presume that I would need to introduce record locking? Is this easily done and, if so, how?
Hey guys, I have the below code that exports data to excel. Works wonderful, except when the Excel file opens, only the top portion of excel is visable. I would then have to save the excel file, then close both excel and access. Then once I reopen the excel file it is now visible. I would like the file to open over all other application including my Access application. Is there any way to force the excel file to open fully? Is there something I am missing. It seems to work the first time, but if I re-run the export the problem continues. Thanks

I have a mainform Transactions with TransactionsID and a subform Site Details with SiteID. For non-database related issues (my users like things the way they are) at the moment I have to use text strings for the key fields instead of autonumbers.
SiteId begins with the TransactionID number (the program does check for uniqueness for TransactionID). At the moment the user copies and pastes the TransactionID into the SiteID textbox, and then just needs to add the site name.
I would like the SiteID to have the TransactionID partly filled in, so that one more step is eliminated. I have tried using forms!fTransactions!TransactionID, but I get #Error. I have also tried copying the TransactionsId text box onto the Site Details form and setting the property to invisible, and then using the forms! and I still get #Error. My first attempt was to change the data control of SiteID to TransactionID, but that didn't work either - it changed all the SiteIDs to their respective TransactionIDs. Fortunately I was working with a copy (rule number one of database design) and no harm done.
Is the issue that I am dealing with is that SiteID is a key field and that key fields can't be calculated? If so I will long for the day when all my key fields can be switched to autonumbers.

How to publish an Access db with Windows IIS but without Sharepoint
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a website that is asp (not .net) based with an Access DB and I am in the process of replacing an old windows 2000 server with a much faster windows 2003 server. Here lies the problem I have a script as part of the admin that exports data to a csv file. The query joins 4 tables together to get the data needed for the export. On the windows 2000 server it takes 1-5 seconds to execute and have the csv file ready for download. On the window 2003 server it times out. I striped it down to use 2 joins and it worked although it took more like 10-20 seconds to export. This exports a specific range of ID's and the range is normally only 40-50 rows. If I put time stamps in the code the problem is in the query of the database, so I know its not in the file write etc.
I am going to rewrite it to use multible querys instead of one large query, but I have many other sites that I am moving to this server that would work better if I can figure out why it is so slow.
The windows 2000 is a 900 mhz server the windows 2003 is a 2.8GHZ server both have 1 GIG of ram. The database file is on the local drive on both servers. I am guessing it is a difference in the Jet version, I just haven't been able to find a solution to the problem. This uses a DSN connection, configured the same on both servers. I have also tried it as a DSN-less connection with the same result.
I have installed access on the server and to execute the command in access it is <2 sec.
I am not an access expert I normally program in .net and php and use MySQL and MsSQL for databases, we just have these legacy sites that use Access DB's
I tried saving my split database to a flash drive so I could move it to a computer that is connected to the shared server but it did not go as I planned. The back end with the tables works fine, but when I try to open the Form on the front end it says it cannot be located. I just want to take all the files I have (Should only be 2 front/back ends) and move them onto a new computer.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I have the following value in a cell:
Joe <100,894> Doe
Is there a function in Access that will clear out the <100,894> leaving me with Joe Doe? To my understanding the Replace function only can replace certain characters. How can I delete everything in between the < > as well?
Thanks,

How to change font in database objects list view windows? (not datasheet, table/query windows)

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi All,
This is my problem -
My customer has Access programs that work on their Windows 98 OS PC's, but when they try to use them on Windows 2000 OS PC's they will not work.
The programs I believe were originally written in Access 97 and now they have Access 2000 on the PC's.
By not working I mean the following -
The Access program allows them to enter a document name and then the file opens in Word - BUT - when they use it in Windows 2000 it does not open the document at all. It says file not found in Windows 2000 and the file does exist.
** The reason they have Access opening files is that Access keeps track of them for auditing purposes.
Now here is something that I want to mention. On PC's that were upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 the programs work.
Can anyone here tell me what is missing from 98 to 2000 that would do this.
Thank you very much for your time.
I have a primary school database. I'm trying to create a form that allows a teacher to select their class, then select a subject and then be presented with a data entry form in a table layout that lists only their student's names in one column and an empty column to input results for the selected subject.
To simplify my explanation to just three tables, lets say my tables are:
> Students....which stores student names plus a foreign key for their class
> Classes...which stores the class name
> Results...which stores all the results (fields are: ResultID (key), StudentID, SubjectID, Result, DateofResult)
I have no problems creating reports where the teacher selects their class from a combo box to generate a report based on a crosstab query. But this one has me stumped.
I have a question that I have a Microsoft Access database (.accdb) front-end/backend split and I want to give the database to my company client. As we have the different path for the backend/frontend linked. I want some code that will popup if the database location is not found and popup with the dialog so the user then select the backend and it would be ready and there is no need to popup each time the database open, it would run once it did not find the last linked path.
Also I have tried the code of Dev Ashish URL.... but unfortunately it would ask everytime to refresh the table links and I only want to run the process of linking tables when the database start and the linked path not found.
I need to import an excel file with incorrectly formatted date field and it worked only to import them as text:

Hi guys
firstly, i have been searching the forum for previous posts on this issue - I was hoping someone else has asked this question before... no luck tho
if someone can point me the right direction that would be great(im guessing it will have to be done through VB) - I wanted to know if it is possible to have a "hidden" field in my primary form, which would be set to autonumber, so that when the user fills in and submits this first form, the hidden autonumber can be passed to subsequent forms.
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
