I have a Access database that is used as the user interface for general users but the data is stored in SQL. My client has asked that general users be able to see only selected fields in the table. This means that they must only use the form to view records and not be able to get to the table.
How do I disable the the Window Unhide in the MDE?
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....
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.
I was hoping someone knows how to disable the ability for users to gain access to the properties window.
When viewing a form (or any object), one can usually right click, click on the corner of the form, or a few other actions and gain access to the properties option. If selected, the properties window is displayed with all the object's properties.
Is there a way to NOT allow the users to select this option? i.e. to disable this option from the menu list?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

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?
I would like to disable this window : (which appears by right-clicking mouse on form headline)
So the users won't be able to close form by right-clicking. How to do it?
Creating a database for processing survey data into a report format. We receive these reports as paper copies, which are then scanned in using Remark Office OMR. This results in a table of data, which is intended to be appended to the existing table in the database using Save As --> Access 2007, selecting the database and target table, clicking save as, and then selecting 'Append' from the subsequent popup.
What I want to know is: Is it possible to disable/otherwise prevent the 'Overwrite' option in this window from being selected? Can I make the table or database in such a way that data can only be added, not edited or deleted?
I use Access 2007.I have a db split in FE(forms, queries, vbcode) & BE(tables only).I want users not to be able to view or explore the tables, the queries, the form design and details, in both Ends.Unfortunately, even disabling via VB code the menus, the db window, the tool & status bars, they appear and are accessible to the users (it only works in a non-split db, turned to an accde).
How can I disable any view on forms, queries, vbcode and tables details and data to users, in both FE and BE and only allow them to add data through specific form?
I need to disable or hide the restore, minimize and close window buttons found in the top right hand corner of a form.
I navigation buttons that controls open, close etc already set up.
Hi,
I have a parent window which upon clicking on a button will pop-up a child window containing a listbox. The listbox recordsource is a subset of the parent window. I want the user to select a record from the listbox which will load the selected record onto the parent window.
How does one pass argument back from child window to parent window?
From parent window to child window, I used
docmd.openform ,,,,,,[argument] and me.openargs in the child window
thanks in advance.
I created an app., for tracking changes, where once the user is logged in , the login form is hidden.
When a user modify the status of a change, i cretaed an event procedure in the update before. In that event procedure i am opening a new form to ask to continue or not and then i hide it. When the program comes back to the form where the event procedure is, it closes the hidden form, which asked to continue or not. The problem is that it closes the login form as well.
To sum up:
-Login form is hidden
- Edit form calls Confirm form
- when user comfirm, teh comfirm form is hidden.
- Edit form, close Comfirm form and also login form. (i dont want to close login).
Here is the code to close comfirm form in edit form....
DoCmd.Close acForm, "comfirm"
thank you, max.
Yes...I am a newbie. In an attempt to secure my database, I accidently hid my entire datebase from everyone, including myself. How do I "unhide" it if I can't see it? I know that there is a really simply answer to this problem but I haven't found it yet. Please HELP!
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn what I believe is called the Navigation Bar - the bar at the left of the Access screen, one can see the various tables, queries, forms and modules associated with a project. As an experiment, I right-clicked on a form, and clicked the option "Hide in this Group". Now it doesn't show up in the group. But I can't figure how to get it back. I assumed there was some sort of unhide command like in Excel. If there is such a command in Access I can't find it. How do I make it so I can once again select this form so I can open it in design mode. (I assume that the form still exists in the project, because I didn't delete it).

Tools->customize....
but how can I unhide the menu bar, because hide/unhide option is on the menu bar. If I hide it, then I cannot unhide it.
Ive set a formula within a query field to hidden, and i cant seem to get it to display again, i have gone to tools>options>view and checked view hidden objects but still nothing
any advice?
This is complicated!
I need to be able to have user run 5 different queries,
I think, and have the results from those queries show
up one under the other on one form footer.
Ex. fld 1 fld 2 fld 3 Date Range
fld 1 fld 2 fld 3 Date Range
fld 1 fld 2 fld 3 Date Range
Each of the rows would be based on a different query.
Also,
part of the query has a date range, and I would like
to have the Date Range from query show up next
to each row.
Thanks

I have been handed the task of developing a database to keep track of active and terminated security badges. I have a form that displays certain data for each employee. I have a check box on the form that signifies if the employee is active or terminated. The 'Term Date' box is on the form, but is currently disabled. I have been trying to find a way to have the 'Term Date' field enabled if the 'Active' checkbox is unchecked so that a termination date can be entered. Any suggestions? Please help!!
I don't know enough about Access to determine if this is possible, but I also was wondering if it was possible to reverse the action if needed (re-check the 'Active' checkbox and re-disable the 'Term Date' field)
I'd greatly appreciate any help that anyone can provide!!
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. I feel like such a muppet...
Help!!

I hid a query and now need to modify the fields, how can I unhide the Query in 2010?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to open a form and unhide some fields on that form that have been set to hidden, basically if the file paths are wrong it ponts them back to my form where they fill them in , normally these are hidden
Code:
'checks to see if the file paths in the admin screen are ok before allowing to go foward to avoid errors from dowloading data
'get the file path to import data

" & vbNewLine & "You will now be redirected to enter valid paths"
'open form where they update the paths

but it says object required (line111 does exist?)
I downloaded a time clock template the other day and Ive been tweaking it for a while now. There is one thing I can't figure out:
There is a form called frmClockOut, which is a subform on frmClockIn.
This subform appears after the ClockIn button is clicked. The problem is, if I close the database for any reason, and leave someone clocked in, the ClockOut button does not appear until after you re-click ClockIn.
The developer has put in a safety so that it does not "double-punch" someone in or out so its ok there. Id just rather keep this subform open or always showing and cannot figure out where its done on here.
I will upload the blank template that I tweaked.
I would like to hide/unhide the navigation pane completely by using two buttons (pop the hood & close the hood) in a form. At this moment I used the following code:
Private Sub Command77_Click()
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
End Sub
Private Sub Command78_Click()
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
End Sub
This however makes my form shut down and not my navigation pane.
Hi..
I got a access file from a friend of mine, but when i open it in access, i don't see any tables or the standard menu buttons.
The only menu i see, is a docked menu with a couple of submenus, wich in turn open forms, where you can enter data..
How can i see the tables and bva script behind this access file?
I tried F11 and Alt-F11, but is does nothing.
He won't tell me how he did it, because he doesnt like to share what he knows...
Can anyone help me??
Thanx !
I have tab control form with (5) tabs. For this discussion - Tabs 1 through 5. For a blank (new) form sheet tabs 4 & 5 need to be hidden. Based on what is selected via the drop down box (on tab 1) then tabs 4 & 5 may remain hidden or needed to be un-hidden. Example: [DropDown1]
Selection 1: stay hidden
Selection 2: unhide
Selection 3: unhide
Selection 4: stay hidden
Selection 5: unhide
Selection 6: stay hidden
Selection 7: unhide
Selection 8: stay hidden
Selection 9: stay hidden
I think one I figure this out then I can use the 'OnCurrent' event to check the drop down selection as a user selects the a record or scrolls through records.
