Is there any way of deactivating the main Menu Bar ("File","Edit","Insert","Format") when a form opens?
I need to implement this for a single form to stop an idiot user from trying to break the system! :mad: He's not doing it on purpose - he's just ignorant and doesn't listen or understand when I try to explain to him NOT to add a record by using the "Insert - new record" command, but to use the command button on the form which has some built in safety features (such as password protection).
I've managed to get rid of some of the other ones by using the coding below:
Application.CommandBars("Form View").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting (Form/Report)").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting (Page)").Enabled = False
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.)
Hello all, i'm trying to create a database just now and i'm banging my head a little on the forms side of things.
Can anyone tell me how, or if its possible, to create a "Main Menu" form, that gives you options to say, add a record to a table, to delete a record etc.
I have recently created a small inventory database just for fun, but I am looking to expand my knowledge with Access since I have not dealt with it hardly at all. I would like to know how to create a regular main menu to the database that gives you options on what you want to do. I would like to be able to look up inventory by serial number, edit inventory, add inventory, and run reports from the main menu. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have a front end that I have distributed to four users. The front end sits on a shared drive and when I make design changes I just replace it and have the users copy it over to their desktops.
I set up a main menu for them to access the various forms, reports, etc. When I first open the front end on my desktop the main menu form is small and not taking up the entire screen. I put the cmd.maximize command in the on open event and still does not maximize the form when I open the database. I tried to size it and saved changes but still not working.
I just did a share session with a user and she opened the form and it was maximized on her desktop.
Currently I have a basic database with the following
Table 1 = "EmployeeT" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc. Table 2 = "NewLabReportT" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract"
Form 1 = "MainMenuF" this is where I would like to have the search Form 2 = "NewLabReportF" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract" Form 3 = "EmployeeF" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc.
Problem:I would like to have on the Main Menu a drop down list with all of the fields described in NewLaBReportF ("Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract") and then allow the user to click a button to the side of it to alert a pop up.
In this pop up:
If they originally clicked "Report_Id" then have the message prompt then to "Enter a Report ID" If they originally clicked "Submitted_By" then have the message prompt them to "Enter an employees Last Name" etc...
Further More, after they enter the respective value in this box, have a FORM not a REPORT generate that lists all of the records that match the criteria. This way then can specifically click on each record individually and have it open directly up to it.
I have a table called exiting staff data and a field called Follow up required. I want to count the number of Yes entries and display it on the main menu. Have tried
Code: =Count([Exiting Staff Data].[Follow up required]="Yes")
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.
I have fields on the main menu where folks put in a start and end date prior to running a report. I'm doing a monthly report that pulls current month, and two prior months of data. For example, the user selects a date range of 10/1/14 to 10/31/14 the report will show August, September and October results.
I need the column headings to change each month depending on the date range they select to run the report so in November they will pull 11/1/14 to 11/30/14 and get September, October and November.
The headings for the columns would then adjust.
I put an unbound text box with the formula as follows in the control source of the report page header to pull the month that is equal to the current month minus two (I'm just showing one of the column headings formula):
I have been trying to figure out how to make a main menu that link to certain tables I have. I want the links to go to the tables/forms so that they can be edited, but I don't want the user to be able to enter design view. I have attached an image of what I want to have below.
I have a main menu "MainMenuF" in my database and I would like the database to be able to be searched by any of the column headings. For example I have a table titled "NewLabReportT" this table has many column headings like "Submitted By" "Reviewed By" "Title" "Abstract" etc...
I would like my users to be able to click a radio button with the same column headers on this main menu and have a box that pops up to say "Enter search parameter" and have that parameter be searched in the table "NewLabReportT" and generate a FORM not a REPORT of all of the listings in the database that have that keyword associated to that certain category searched. That way they can "CLICK" the exact field they are looking for and have it open right up to that form.
I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load() OpenTimer = Timer End Sub Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer() If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.
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 subform which makes a change to a field on the main form. When focus is returned to the main form, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events fire. Why? I thought from the form's perspective, the subform is just another control.
BTW, I get the same behavior if I modify the field from within the Exit event of the subform control.
In either case, the main form's Dirty event is NOT triggered.
Ok, 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.
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 have this code in the opening for of my database but the tool bar "passdown" does not open. Could someone please help me understand why? thank you jon
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) ChangeProperty "StartupForm", dbText, "Frm-UserLogon" ChangeProperty "StartupShowDBWindow", dbBoolean, False ChangeProperty "StartupShowStatusBar", dbBoolean, False ChangeProperty "AllowBuiltinToolbars", dbBoolean, False ChangeProperty "AllowFullMenus", dbBoolean, False ChangeProperty "AllowBreakIntoCode", dbBoolean, False ChangeProperty "AllowSpecialKeys", dbBoolean, False ChangeProperty "AllowBypassKey", dbBoolean, False Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count CommandBars(i).Enabled = False Next i DoCmd.ShowToolbar "passdown", acToolbarYes
I create a custom menu, and then assign hyperlink for running Excel application (C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10EXCEL.EXE). When I click on it, it has security message,
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
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?
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.
