Sep 22, 2011I need to enable macros in MS Access.
I don't have Trust Center.
How can I do this via registry settings?

General :: Enable All Macros Settings
Aug 26, 2013Why does one have to enable all macros in the trust center in order for VBA to run? I'm making front end applications with Access and having to allow ALL macros to make them user friendly makes a huge hole in general security. I don't use any macros - it's all done by VBA.
Users are on a plethora of different platforms so changing reg keys is out of the question. Is there some way of self sign an Access accde? Is there some safe GENERAL approach (trusted sites is not good either) to allowing VBA from my applications ONLY?
Modules & VBA :: Reading Registry On Windows 7 X64 With Access 2010 X86?
Nov 22, 2013I have always had solid read access to the Windows registry running on Windows XP with Access 2007. I am utilizing code from here in a separate VBA Module to obtain access to the Windows registry:
"Change registry settings in VBA"
[URL]
On Windows 7 x64 / Access 2010 x86, I am seeing a 0 value in lngKeyHandle. Also, m_lngRetVal has a value of 2 after the RegOpenKey LOC.
Code:
' --------------------------------------------------------------
' Query the key path
' --------------------------------------------------------------
m_lngRetVal = RegOpenKey(lngRootKey, strRegKeyPath, lngKeyHandle)
' --------------------------------------------------------------
' If no key handle was found then there is no key. Leave here.
' --------------------------------------------------------------
If lngKeyHandle = 0 Then
regQuery_A_Key = vbNullString
m_lngRetVal = RegCloseKey(lngKeyHandle) ' always close the handle
Exit Function
End If
I have verified that I have the key successfully in the registry... installed via the .reg file that works on Windows XP / Access 2007 systems.

Regional Settings And Access
Mar 10, 2008I'm new to my job and ms access and not very savvy in the latter. There are fixes for my problem on the internet, but I really don't understand them.
I'm used to dd-mm-yyyy format and it's tough for me to think in mm-dd-yyyy in, for example, MS outlook. If I change my regional settings, of course, outlook and access follow suit. The access database is shared and we print out records as cover sheets for our files. Thus, it's not an option to have me on dd-mm and others on mm-dd. Is there a way for me to enter mm-dd in when using the database but have dd-mm standard for every other aspect?
If you can help, which I would appreciate immensely, please pretend that I don't know what I'm doing.
Thanks
Help With Access Macros
Aug 18, 2004I have a report that spans 4 years, and for each year it takes about 25 queries to produce the report. The queries for each year are only different in one number in the criteria, so what I'm trying to do, instead of having to manually copy and edit all of those queries every year, is make a macro that will do it instead.
I can make it copy all the queries and rename them, but I can't make them change the criteria in the queries.

Modules & VBA :: Application Settings In Access Runtime
Oct 23, 2013In a startup-form I have following options to avoid annoying system messages in an ACCESS 2010 RUNTIME!! (.accdr)
Application.SetOption "Confirm Action Queries", 0
Application.SetOption "Confirm Document Deletions", 0
Application.SetOption "Confirm Record Changes", 0
But they do not work, there are still messages when deleting a record from an endless form by pressing "delete". I don't want to add a button. Docmd. Setwarning false in every form!
Reversing Startup Settings With Passworded Admin Access If Possible?
Mar 19, 2007Thought I best ask this question BEFORE I run into trouble.
If I were to set my database to hide the database window and all menus on startup so that users can only do what I want them to do and not edit anything. How do I go about reversing this if I needed to edit something as I would not be able to see any of the regular menus?
It would be good if the solution involved some sort of admin password rather than a sneaky short cut that a user may accidently stumble across.
Spell Check Provides A Gateway To Access Options Settings?
Apr 10, 2008Hi everyone and many thanks in advance.
I have configured my Access 2007 DB/app to hide the default ribbons and Options settings so that end-users cannot change the config or perform tasks that would jeopardize the integrity of the data. One of the other requirements on this project is to allow the end-user to launch the Spell Check feature.
It was simple enough to launch Spell Check from a button on a form. The problem lies in that the Spell Check feature has an "Options" button that serves as a point of entry to the Access Options that I'm trying to prevent the user from seeing.
Can anyone tell me how to hide or disable the Options button in Spell Check? I fear that this is not possible and I will have to choose between Spell Check and ensuring data integrity.
Many thanks,
Dominick:confused:
Modules & VBA :: Restrict Access For Those Without Macros Enabled
May 6, 2015I created a database which when macros are enabled the only thing visible on the screen is the forum. All tables as well as the ribbon bar is disabled. I also disabled right-clicking.
My issue is, for those who do not have macro's enabled, it opens up in design view and allows access to the left-hand tables until the user clicks the trust button at the top. Once trust is clicked, everything hides as expected.Is there a way to restrict access if they do not have their macros enabled?
Big Ol' Access Problem (Forms, Macros, Importing, Query, Etc
Mar 31, 2008Okay, so I just got a big project dumped into my lap to rebuild a database that was lost. This DB would import data from a couple excel spreadsheets and a text file, compare them to find any records that are missing from one or the other then spit that information back out in two reports. To make things harder, the person who uses this DB isn't the most computer literate and needs to be able to do everything with the push of a button. For this project I'm using Access 2003 with a possible need for 2000 backwards compatibility
First Issue: Importing. Is there ANY way to save an import so a macro could run it without the user doing anything? The other option is linked tables, but is there any way to update the data in those links because some of it needs to be changed. Also, can linking combine two excel spreadsheets into one linked table?
Second Issue: Information updating. As I mentioned before there is some information that needs to be updated before we can do comparisons. There is a field in both record sets that could be used for comparisons except for the fact it is formated all wrong.
In the excel spreadsheet it is set up as just a string of numbers like "3125" or "55879", but in the text file they added some preceding digits to this number code. The text file adds "HM" and a number of 0s to each number so that the field is a uniform 10 digits long. Like "3125" would become "HM00003125" and "55879" would be "HM00055879". So each record needs to have this data either added to it or trimmed off. The problem here is the variable number of 0s. I created a macro that would use the Len function to test how many zeros need to be added and update the field, but it can only run on one record at a time.
What I need to do is have either a trimming or adding updater for that field that runs in the background (either through the macro button or when loading a query) to make those fields compatible. It also would be preferable to work through linked tables.
Thankfully, there isn't any sort of rush on this paticular project. If you have any advice on any part of this project, please post
Thanks in advance
Queries :: Unable To Convert Text Into Date With Different System Language Settings In MS Access
Jun 6, 2013I have a table in access database which contains a text field 'EDate' that stores Date value in format (12-Apr-2013). Now I want to run a sql query on that field. User will give an input date. The sql query needs to fetch me all the records from access database whose Edate is less than or equal to the user input date.
I am using DateValue function to convert my text filed Edate into date. My query is something like this:
select * from table_name where DateValue(EDate)<='user_input_date'
I am able to perform above task if the system language settings are 'English'. But if system language settings are different say Turkish, then the query fails.
I searched a lot on web and found that DateTime function compares test data with the system date time format and gives the result. Thus it fails with different language settings.
Query: Access Macros, Autodeleting Rows And Updating Table Names
Oct 11, 2007I'm a bit in over my head. Unfamiliar with Access macros, I need to write a bunch of them for work, and soon. Unixen I can deal with, largely undocumented convoluted Access macros are something else....
My current problem is: I have a table. The first column has a value in it for almost every row. However, there are six other columns after it. I need to write a macro to automatically delete all of the rows that don't have data in the last six columns. Microsoft Help is, as always, of zero use. The FindRecord feature allows me to use expressions to search, but of course, the help fails to tell me what syntax Access uses.
Oh, and it asks me to select a table from the drop-down list. Can I use wildcards here? Is there a way to get it to automatically open the newest table, or will we have to change the macro accordingly each month?
Most tutorials/guides I'm Googling rather brilliantly repeat the same things the help does, AKA, are useless. (Why do they bother writing them if you're not giving new information...?)
I'd ask about the other various access questions I have, but I can pick them up as I go, this is the most pressing question.
Need To Enable/Disable Fields In Access
May 1, 2008Hi guys, I have a huge problem with a table I'm currently making and I was hoping you could help.
I have created a field in one of my tables using a Combobox lookup that only allows users to enter one of two options. What I want to do is restrict the other fields that a user can enter data into based on the their selection in the lookup field.
i.e if they select the first option then they can see and enter data into a few additional fields (but not others). Likewise if they select the second option they see/dont see other fields.
I am using Microsoft Access 2003.

Access Information, Disable Enable.....
Jun 19, 2006Hi.
Lets say i have a (Yes/No) combo box and a text box.
I have it so if my combo box says Yes the text box must become enabled so i can type in it.
The problem comes in when I goto a new record, the combo box is still enabled.
I have tried putting the text box to disabled in form_load, but then when I go back to view other records the text box is disabled and the combo box is already set to Yes.
How do i overcome both these problems at the same time ??
Enable User To Send Email Via Access?
Aug 11, 2011Any way to enable the user to send an email via access?
I would like to add a "Report Bug" button to my main form where the user is able to type a description of a bug that they encountered and it will be sent to my email.
I'm not sure if this is possible. If not I could always resort to storing these bugs in a table instead.

Options Table Or Registry
Apr 27, 2007I'm curious about everyone's opinion of creating an Options table to keep track of things like defaults vs. using the system registry.
Example: For a montly report, I'd like to remember the previous end-date the user picked and use previous end-date+1 as the starting date the next time the user runs the report to make it easier on the user.
Thoughts?
thanks

Tables :: Auditory Registry Of Historic Changes
May 14, 2013I want to know if possible how to define the structure or function that when you have a table "customers" and yoy (f.instance) change the address, you can save, modify the actual value but conserve the historical value.
Previously I am reading on how to create a Form that permit to obtain all the data required (not to complete) but to consult and if u want to modify.
I think this form could be easy but I want to create the register of the modification so that if any problem I can check the person who changed the data when and what items.
I think this is complex but I want to try....

General :: Adding Registry Key With Packaging Wizard
Nov 15, 2012When using the runtime version, there is an issue with trusted locations. The only way around this, it seems is to edit (add) the registry key,My research tells me the key to be added is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0A ccessSecurityTrusted Locations]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0A ccessSecurityTrusted LocationsLocation(n)]
"Path"="C:PathToDB"
"AllowSubfolders"=dword:00000001(1)
"Description"="The description"
"Date"="01.01.2007 12:00"
If I use the Packing Wizard with Access 2007 to prepare an installation disk, there is the option for Additional Registry Keys, which looks promising, however, I am unsure how to proceed. You are asked: Root, Key, Name and Value. There are 4 options for Root: Default root, Current user, All users, Classes root.
