Hi.
I have put much time in designing a form.
After exiting and saving it, I cannot now open it. Only the Page Header shows, and I cannot get into 'Design' mode. I have tried repairing and compacting to no avail.
Any ideas?

I just imported all of my objects (tables, forms, etc.) into a brand new database file and all of my forms are now full screen instead of the size I set them to in design. What caused this? I can't get them back to their normal size.
I am using Access 2007 but imported files into 2003 .mdb file.
Form View
Design View
How it should look?
I have had to use my first crosstab queries.
I now understand that when opening and saving crosstab queries Access (2010) runs that query to ascertain the column names. Unless you hard-code them. Running the query takes at least 20 minutes.
I have hard-coded where I can, but one report takes arbitrary dates so I can't hard-code them.
I believe that turning off AutoCorrect might make a difference to whether the query runs - but I don't want to turn it off.
I just finished a small Access-2013 database (accdb format).
Now I want to make it available to users.
How do I make an 'executable' (meaning that tables, forms, ... cannot be opened in design mode)?
I have several subform tabs and one that I have updated no longer shows up when I run the form on Form mode. The tab is there but no content or details of the subform

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Access 2007. I have a few problems:
1. I have a switchboard. I want to click a button, that opens a form with a dropdown list, when I make my selection, it opens a subform in add mode, but the linked field in the subform isn't empty, but filled with the mainform's field value that I selected?
OR
2. Is there a way for me to open a form in add mode, add data to it, click the add button (I will add an add button) that allows me to add again, but this time a particular field is not empty, but filled with selected info from previous selection?
Say for instance, I have 2 fields (both combo box fields), I click add, made selections for both fields, I click add again, but this time one of the fields stays constant like it's already been selected. It's filled with what was selected from before.
Either of those 2 - which ever is simpler.
I'm working on a login form and *not thinking* I removed access to the submenu. I had already set the form up so that you either login correctly or exit the program. I'm working in code for the form and I know it's possible to reactivate the menu in code, I just don't know how. And I can't switch to design mode. The form is set up to not allow anything to happen until the correct login has been entered, and I either had a typo when I set up my test login or the program is bugged and only says it's incorrect....
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to design a form for a table based all records to design in a single form without top to bottom list wise and without scroll bars. Need to form design for all record details are will show on a form as side by side only as horizontal list wise.
For Ex. I have attached the screen shot image as per horizontal wise records continues.
I have an old db. I would like to see the forms and tables so I can select them and make changes. I know there is a way to access those items on startup but I have forgotten how. When I bring up the db I see a form and I can get into VB for that form but I cannot see any embedded table, forms reports, etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form which was locked down (ie Allow additions, allow edit and allow deletions were all set to no) on the Form property. I want to change this to allow edits so in design mode I changed the Allow Edits property to Yes.
I then went to Form view and was able to update fields on the form. When I exited the form it asked me if I wanted to save the changes so I clicked yes.
On going back into the form I can no longer update the fields I could before. Going into design mode I can see that Allow edits on the form property is set to no again.
What is happening here. There is nothing in the on load or other events to set this to no, besides this shouldn't change the form property should it?
I know I can get around it my setting the property in the form itself but why is the property getting reset in the first place.
Access 2010.
I have an application that when in design master shuts down when I attempt to open a certain form. I have traced the problem to a linked field from another table, by creating a new form and ommitting the said field, problem is its a required field!
If I copy the database (Backup) and run it as a replica it does not happen, if I then convert the replica to design master it happens.
Any suggestions please??

When I click on the design mode of a query object, generally MS Access defaults to the GUI design view... but in this one application, the design view is pulling up queries in SQL mode first...
If I want to set it to the GUI design mode, I have to either hit design again or run the query then hit design to have it pull up in the regular design mode. Is there a setting or something I am missing? Seems that it only does this when the SQL code is reltively involved (i.e. the simpler queries pull up in the normal design view.
I am having problems opening my databases. Access automatically opens them in 'Read Only' mode, and I cannot find a way to avoid this - so I can never add data to the original tables ....

Other than manually moving fields in a table in design mode, can I get the fields alphabetized?

I want to extract the integer part of a string data as a single field.
How to apply self-defined function in Query Design Mode?
any hint is appreciated, thank you in advance~
I am going into the Form Design mode
Click in the subform
I then set tab order by selecting the box and moving the field up.
Looks correct and then I click okay.
The subform does not change.
I go back into design mode, click in subform and select tab order and it looks correct????
I have a form/subform that requires some fields from the Switchboard for its criteria. Last week due to no action on my part, it started asking for those values as Parameters instead (Forms!Data!txtInspDate), etc! The new form loads, but of course it is blank with no data. This happens if I load it from a command button or from the navigation sidebar... UNLESS I first load the switchboard in Design Mode, go to VBA window, then reload the Switchboard in Form Mode and press the button. From then on until I close the database, everything works fine!

I have a report which is accessed via a hyperlink in a form. I have the default view for the report set to Print Preview yet everytime I click the link the report opens in report view which I don't want.
The event for the hyperlink is as follows:
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then 'Save any edits.
Me.Dirty = False
End If
[Code] .....
I have tried changing "acViewPreview" to "acViewReport" and "acViewNormal" and each time it is either going straight to print or opening in report view. I just want the report to open in print preview mode so I can decide if to print a hard copy or send to pdf.
Hi,
I have made an application in access 2000. So what I have, 2 text fields and one button. I would like that when I click the button that access visits a site like this:
http://website.com/test.php?ID=5&NUM=23

Any ideas.

I'm tying to open a PDF file at a specific page using the Adobe hyperlink open syntax, ie,
Guidance.pdf#page=3
is set as a label hyperlink.
Unfortunately the document still opens on the first page.
If I type the path with #page=3 at the end into internet explorer, the document opens at the page specified.
Anyone have any idea's?:confused:
Thanks, Matt Turner

I need help and I needed it fast.
I have a small access database which i want to creat a web front end for.
I have already created a Data access page and it works fine apart from one important thing. When I open the Data Access page it loads the first record on the list. As this page going to be Add only I dont want to view any record apart from adding. therefore when i open the page it should be new blank record, ready for input. i have looked everywhere but cant find a solution for it. pleeeeeeeeeeaaase help. i appreciate any help given. thanks:confused:
Hi,
I've got a DB where I need to simply change a few images on the form buttons. When I open the file I cannot access design view at all. There is no toolbar and the menu doesn't contain View, just file, edit etc. I can edit the properties of the records etc but this is all I can do. I thought maybe it had something to do with it being created in a different version of Access but still it will open in this way only. There is no messae telling me I'm locked from anything and I've tried ctrl + enter etc. I'm running Access 2003.
Does anyone know what's wrong? Its driving me nuts. :confused:
