Hello,
I have created a log in form in my database and users will enter their name using a combo. Is there a way I can force them to use the mouse and select their name and not type in the data? Basically something that will disables all keys from the keyboard? Thanks.
hello,
I have this filename.mdb file which was given to me for revision, so I opened it with MS access but once I opened it, the toolbars are disabled so I can't switch to form view, design view etc. How can I resolve this? I remember when I once did VBA Access that you can do this 'disable' thing. Only that I forgot it how now. So if anyone could please help me in this? I need to 'have those toolbars back' so I can start editing the file. Please do help me.
Thanks in advance
The # character in a hyperlink is used to separate hyperlink parts. Here is a case when I do NOT want this character to do the separation: a network file where the # character is part of the filename: k:datasomeFile#ref02.doc.
How can I put this URL into a hyperlink field in a table and NOT have Access treat it like this:
Address: k:datasomeFile
Subaddress: ref02.doc
which then of course results in the usual "Unable to open..." error.
(I tried replacing the # with %023 but when Access seems to convert it automatically to #).
I'm creating an Access form and there are three sections to the form of which the user should only fill out one. So, they are controlled by a radio group and the desired action is as follows:
There is a default choice (by far, the most common) and it will be selected when the form is opened. When the user selects one of the radio options, the section controlled by that radio option will become enabled and the other two sections will become disabled/locked.
So I found that each box (textbox, combobox, etc) has the property enabled and locked. So I just set this accordingly depending on what is selected. The actual result is that the boxes will be grayed out and become disabled, but will never become enabled again.
Here's some abbreviated code:
Private Sub accountRequestType_AfterUpdate()
If Me.accountRequestType.Value = 1 Then
enableSection1
disableSection2
disableSection3
ElseIf Me.accountRequestType.Value = 2 Then
disableSection1
enableSection2
disableSection3
ElseIf Me.accountRequestType.Value = 3 Then
disableSection1
disableSection2
enableSection3
End If
End Sub
So an example of a disable function (which seems to work) is as follows:
Sub disableSection1()
Me.text123.Enabled = No
Me.text123.Locked = Yes
End Sub
And for an enable function (which doesn't seem to work):
Sub enableSection1()
Me.text123.Enabled = Yes
Me.text123.Locked = No
End Sub
So I'm a bit lost here, any ideas would be great. Are there different steps I need to take in order to enable them again? Am I being clear?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Hello,
How can you disabled a click event on a text box ? I don't want to use ENABLE = false because the background of the texte box comes gray. So, any alternative solution?
Thanks,

I have an mdb file that is being used in Access 2013. The menu appears in the Add Ins as it is supposed to and it works for the most part. For some reason, it remains visible but is not clickable/operable after I do the following code. This all works flawlessly in earlier version of Access so it must something peculiar to 2013 (no surprise there....). hat would cause the ribbon to stop working, what to do when it does, and best of all, how to prevent it from occurring in the first place?
This code is for an option box that either prints a report or creates a pdf and then sends the report as and attachment to a CDO generated email. Other than it (seemingly) turns off the menu..THe site won't allow me to post links so the code is an attached txt file
I disabled all the menues in the startup....how do I reverse this?

I have a 'legacy' Access DB which I need to get into.
Unfortunately there is a problem, whenever I try to open it (using MS Access 2003) there is an error (Disc/Network error 3043) and the database closes immediately.
How can you open an MS Access db with all macros/vba etc disabled, so that the code causing the error does not execute and I can find out what is going on ?
I have not been able to find any such options in the MS Access 2003 open dialog or menus.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have a frmUserLoginScreen that opens frmMainSelectionScreen, which has 4 command buttons on it. Dependant on user level, some of the command buttons are disabled.
I have four user groups, manager, admin, IT and guest. When the guest logs on, the frmMainSelectionScreen only has one command button enabled. Once clicked, this opens frmClientDetails which has a command button that enables the user to add a record.
Basically, I want the add record command button to be disabled on the frmClientDetails if the user is a guest.
I've tried all sorts of code to reference the other forms but I'm not having any luck. Has any kind fellow got any ideas?
Thanks

I don't want to go back into my system and change everything over to command buttons or textboxes.

Hi,
I opened the relationship window to do the relationships among my tables; however, the check box 'Enforce Referential Integrity' is disabled. I don't understand why is that? And is there anyway to change it?
Also, where should relationships be implemented? is it the FE or BE?
Any help will be very much appreciated.

I have an Access 2003 db being used through Access 2007 in order to use user-based security.It is a spit db with the be being on a shared server.For some reason, the security login has been deactivated after working fine for over a year. The user goes right to the autoexec macro file without having to log in.
They are also getting a "Read-Only" message at the top about only being able change table in linked tables.The DB is configured to utilize the logon as a parameter in some queries.
I need to modify the access 2010 database. But when I open it the navigate pane of that database is disabled. How to make it enable?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using a dropdown that has the months of the year in it. The user selects a month and the form is then filtered by a date if its the first of whatever month is selected. It works fine but when the filter is applied I cant select the little arrow on the column headings and select the boxes (Select All, Blank, ETC...). It doesn't work on any column, just the apply text filter works but I cant select anything.
It works fine when I clear out the filters on the form. I tried to use vba to set the menusetting property to true and that didn't work either.
I've got some forms that I've set to lock controls based on an added tag. I have a loop that goes through the entire form and disables (controlname.enabled = false) or locks (controlname.locked =true) all the controls with that tag.
This appears to work fine when the form is on a blank record but when an existing record is opened, the controls that have data in them are no longer locked or disabled (empty controls are still locked). Is there an explanation for this behavior? I don't want to disable the entire form because there are controls that I want the user to be able to always access. I started by just disabling them, then when I noticed the problem I tried locking them instead but it happens with both. Is there another property I can try that will really lock them if they have data in them or not?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had to put a breakpoint into my VBA code in one of my apps to debug a problem I was having and inspect the variable values. All was well until I finished the debugging process and tried to eliminate my breakpoints. However, the next time I ran the application, the code stopped as if one of the breakpoints was still active. I closed the application and reopened it (even rebooted the computer) and the code continues to stop in the same spot in the program. The only thing I can think of to do is to create a new empty Access database and import all the objects from the old one. I'm thinking the database must be corrupt and this is all I know to try.

Hi,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help point in the right direction. Our IT department applied a patch update to windows 2000 overnight, which has had an impact on the Append queries in my DB.
Basically I have a number of append queries that use lookup tables to append the appropriate data from the underlaying table to the required table. They all have a relationship of "only include rows where the join fields from both tables are equal".
These were all working fine yesterday, but this morning, even though there is data in the underlaying table that meets the criteria, not data is being identified.
Has anyone any idea, as our IT department don't know and are not prepared to undo the patch update.
Your assistance would be most appreciated.
