I'd like to create a custom toolbar that has links to subforms and dims the links (subforms) that have no data in them.
Catalog
Postcard
Letter
Bulletin
This would mean that there is data in the "Postcard", but not on the other subforms. Even though the others are dimmed, I want them to be active so that they can have data entered if needed.
Suggestions?
I have a custom menu on my db, but when another user logs on they have the same toolbar buttons and the same menu but more items that I have originally added. Is there a way to fix this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI asked a similar question some time ago, but the answer I got didn't help out a whole lot. Maybe someone else could help me out here. I have a split db which resides on our server. This will soon be joined with MySQL so that multiple users can log on simultaneously. I have created a custom menu bar with the only buttons that I want my users to have. So far the only person that has the buttons I chose on their screen is me, everyone else has more than what I specify. Is there a way that all of my users will have the buttons that I specify? Can this be done with code? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I was wondering if you could use custom menu bar commands to open reports and varying the recordsource of the reports according to which command you choose. For instance, if the user wants to view a report for January, he clicks on the January menu bar button. And I do not wish to use macros as there might be many macros to use.
Was looking at it and I am able to use my own vb functions but was wondering if I could use the tag field under the customise menu bar command to specify which records to filter to?
Maybe I should just use a form with all the code behind. lol... :p
I can't believe I haven't come across this problem before, but I want to add a button to a custom menu I've created. When clicked, this button will run some code I've written.
It may be that I'm losing it (no comments, please :D ) but I can't work out how to add a button that will run code of my choosing, as opposed to just opening a report, opening a form, etc.
Any suggestions?
Up until recently, when I selected multiple objects in design view (on a form) and right-clicked the mouse, I had several options in the 'Size' sub-menu (including 'Size to Widest / Tallest / Narrowest / Shortest').
Then I tried to be clever(!) and create a new custom toolbar which had just these options on it, as I use them frequently. This was all very well until now, when I can't find the custom toolbar I created, and the options have disappeared from the Size submenu aswell!
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can get them back??
(I have tried going into Customize to drag them back, but they're not there either! :( )
:confused:
Hey..
I'm having a rather strange problem that no one can fix, apparently. My teacher is even baffled :S.
Basically, I created a custom menu bar, took off some of the defaults, but now I am having a problem. I deleted the original custom menu bar and now I am posed with the following error when my database is loaded (I am using an autoexec script that opens the switchboard).
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks a lot, again, guys :).
I have created a menu bar in access 2003 and I have spent the last couple of hours designing icons in photoshop, however, when i come to import these icons to use on the menu bar I can't see anywhere to do so, only a button editor that isn't much use to me.
Is it not possible to import icons in this way (like you can for command buttons on forms)?
Thanks for any help
I'm working to put together a shortcut menu for a form that will be viewed as a datasheet. I'm trying to put together the vba to create the menu. I'd like a lot of the standard options i.e. sort a-z, filter toggle etc. I'd also like to add the menu option that is displayed in the default menu called "Text Filters". I've been unable to find the id code for that option, and since it, when chosen opens another menu, I'm not real sure how to code it. Here is what I have so far:
Sub CreateWIPShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbRightClick As Office.CommandBar
Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl
' Create the shortcut menu.
Set cmbRightClick = CommandBars.Add("cmdWIP", msoBarPopup, False, True)
[code]....

View 6 Replies View RelatedHello all, (Access 2000)
I had a problem with one of our users getting a little too involved in our data base so I went to Tools and to Start-up. At the bottom-left of the window I de-selected:
Allow Full Menus
Allow Default Shortcut menus
I did this so the bare minimum shows up and the users can only use the intended functions. I now see my mistake as I cannot do anything with the db. The only menu options it gives me are
File
Window

I tried to create a macro to restore my menu items but according to the help menu that only works for forms and reports. I've gone through every option in the help section. Problem is they all say to start with the 'View' menu item which I now no longer have.
Any thoughts?
How do I remove items from a right click menu in access 2003? For example I need to remove the form view / design view button from a right click menu but i want to keep the hide/show columns button on the same menu.

At the top of the form I want to create a menu labelled "Reports" that when clicked or hovered it displays a list of sub-menu options of all the Reports available in the database. Once the user makes a selection the report is generated. The functionality that I am looking for is similar to the old menu options like File, Edit, etc., in MS Office.

I know that ever since 2007 custom menus are not well supported as in 2003. From what I've read, outside to using 2003 to make changes, a person can create/update the menus using Commandbars in VBA.
Some coding to use Commandbars to create/update menus/toolbars for Access 2007/2010? It seems possible to do that, although I would expect it would be a lot of work. I've seen a few one-off examples to do specific updates, but so far nothing that would approach what was available in 2003.
I finally got tired of having 100 macros managing my different custom shortcut menus, and decided to figure out how to generate the shortcut menus programatically (because lets be honest, Macros are the devil.)
I found a good tutorial here : [URL] .....
and was able to create some basic shortcut menus like the following:
Code:
Sub CreateCopyShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbshortcutmenu As Office.CommandBar
Set cmbshortcutmenu = CommandBars.Add("CopyShortcutMenu", _
msoBarPopup, False, False)
'ID 19 adds copy command
cmbshortcutmenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, Id:=19
End Sub
Nice and simple, now I have a copy command. But the problem is that I also need some custom commands. Most (possibly all?) of these would be function calls.
I am currently in the process of creating a pop-up menu to allow my users to do some simple text formatting.I have used the following code to do so:
Code:
Dim cmbShortcutMenu As Office.CommandBar
' Create the new pop-up menu instance
Set cmbShortcutMenu = CommandBars.Add("popupFormatMenu", msoBarPopup, False, True)
' Add the bold button
[code]....
The problem is that I now want to add the FontColor picker control and I keep getting an error.I think the problem lies in the type of control I want to add. According to the Microsoft support files I downloaded the fontColor control is of type Gallery and ID = 11949, so the code should look something like this:
Code:
cmbShortcutMenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, id:=11949
I need to replace msoControlButton with something else.
how can i dim label that i wtn it to be disable...but visible.
i know i can do it with command button but i dont know how can i do it with label.
Hello,I have been examining an Access application and it has menus and several menu items under the headings of those menus. (I could call them as well "Application-Specific menus" as they contain shortcuts to the forms inside the application, such as "Offers>>Prepare a sales offer" , "Definitions>>Customers & Locations" , or "Definitions>>Series & Models" and so on...)In View>>Toolbars>>Customize, selecting the checkbox of that menu,I can make those Application-Specific menus appear also in design mode.So far so good, but....if I'm able to make them appear in design mode, I should also be able to "edit" them, right? But I simply can't edit them.For example, I can't seem to pull the menu item "Definitions>>Customers & Locations" and put it under the "Offers" menu. (so that a new item called "Offers>>Customers & Locations" is formed)Well as an Admin, I 'm supposed to do it, as one the users suggested that it be more effective if the menu item "Customers & Locations" stood under the "Offers" menu.So, how can I edit my "Application-specific" menu items? Thanks.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if anyone has come across this but here goes:
I'm creating a custom shortcut menu in which I'd like to maintain some of the filter functionality that comes with the standard Access shortcut menu. The customize menu window allows me options for "Filter By Selection", "Filter Excluding Selection", and "Remove Filter/Sort", but I do not see the menuitem "Filter For:" as an option (of course the one that I would most like to have).
Anyone that can point me in the right direction or know a work-around?

I just want to know how to manage items in set and individual item. Suppose my product list are
individual items = A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K
and 5 pc set = A,B,C,D,F
and 3 pc set = G,H,K
How should I design the table. Previously I designed the table for individual items and whenever orders for set is placed user had to enter individual items with quantity.
E.g. order is for 5 pc set = 3000
A=3000
B=3000
C=3000
D=3000
F=3000
Now I need to just say 5 pc set and it should be automatically populated. And also if order have combination of individual and set items.
Hi everyone,

How can i disable the naviation i get on my form?
i have a form to add new records, if i accidently scroll the mouse i get previous records shown in the feild, so is it possible to disable the function?
Working in the theatreworld, I'm trying to create something which will usefully combine my contacts and also a database of which shows we have done (dates, actors involved etc, etc) and what shows we have bought in.
So far, I have created my form which has the usual fields (name, address and so on) and also a field which asks users to describe what type of contact they are ie. are they an actor, or a director, or a theatre company.
There are also two command buttons, which will either open up another form which lists all the productions they have been in with us over the years (In-house productions), or one that opens up another form which lists what shows each theatre company has brought to us.
I would like to be able to select 'actor' in the category field which will then enable the command button for me to see what productions that person has been in. Or if I selected the 'theatre company' category then the other button becomes enabled.
Can anybody advise me on this please? Alternatively, if this all sounds far too convoluted, then I am open to suggestions!
Many thanks in advance,
Popps
Is there any way I can disable a subform in my main form until the user has entered some data in the main form and thereby created a primary key?
If the user decides to enter data in the subform first it gives an error and obviously I don't want this!
Just wondered if you might be able to help. I have a form on which I would like to disable some comboboxes until a date box is filled in. Is this possible?
Not too hot with coding - but I have been trying and If Then Else method.
Is this the right way to go?
Thanks
Michelle
