Forms :: Add Parameters To MAF Shortcut
Jul 10, 2015Is there any way to add parameters to a .maf shortcut?
I'm thinking, I may be able to email the link to a form to someone, with the correct ID. But I'm assuming this isn't an easy thing to do?

Forms :: Shortcut For Inputting Date Value In A Form
Mar 10, 2014If memory serves me right, I've seen code or maybe a shortcut somewhere for inputting a date value in a form along the following lines.
To input today's date, input "0"
Yesterday = "-1"
A week ago = "-7"
and so on.
Forms :: Disable Shortcut / Right Click On A Form
Oct 21, 2013I am running Access 2010. I have added the following to the "On Open" event on my main form:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
Me.ShortcutMenu = False
End Sub
My main form (frmMain) is displayed when the database opens. As you can see, I am hiding the ribbon and the navigation pane from users. I also want to prevent users from right clicking on the form and opening it in Design view - trying to prevent any monkey business. However, the line:Me. ShortcutMenu = False
is not preventing users from right clicking on the form and getting the shortcut menu and going into Design view.If I go to Options and uncheck: "Allow Default Shortcut Menus" then I lose the ability to print reports because I have the ribbon hidden and this will not allow right click on reports.Converting to .accde is not an option at this time.
Forms :: Disable Delete A Record Shortcut CTRL
Mar 24, 2015I would like to disable the shortcut, CTRL - which allows a user to delete a record. A user accidentally deleted a record while typing in an email address that had an underscore in the email address. While trying to type it she must have hit the CTRL key instead of the Shift key follow by the -. She noticed the delete confirmation, but not thinking, pressed enter and thus confirmed the deletion of the record.
Other than telling her to pay more attention, how can I disable the shortcut in Access 2013?I tried using the Application.OnKey "^-", "" but I continue getting the error method or data member can not be found
Forms :: Adding Entries To Shortcut Menu Dynamically
Jul 26, 2013I am using Access 2003 and have a custom shortcut menu. I wish to add some entries to this shortcut menu dynamically.
Background : I am displaying a list of customer orders and wish to offer the user the facility to filter the search for one item instead of the default of ALL.
The dynamic entries would be the unique order item reference nos. retrived for that particular customer retrieved via recordset . So the menu would show :
ALL
------
Model 1
Model 2
Model 3
etc.
...
How am I able to add these entries to the menu, the selection text will be the filter text I use to report upon.
Forms :: Finding A Keyboard Shortcut That Simulates The Double Click?
Oct 28, 2014Is there a keyboard shortcut that simulates the double click.
In my Sectionfrm I have a command button that opens my Ordersfrm. Because I use the Ordersfrm for reasons not always associated with the Sectionfrm I do not automatically populate the SectionID (textbox) in the Ordersfrm with the SectionID from the Sectionfrm.
When I want to link an order to a (building) section I double click the SectionID field in the Ordersfrm which in turn runs VBA code that copies the SectionID from the Sectionfrm to the Ordersfrm.
As I tab through my form I find it annoying to move away from my keyboard to the mouse to double click the SectionID, so the question is:
Is there a keyboard shortcut that simulates the double click to run the VBA code?
Forms :: Command Bars Custom Shortcut Menu - Font Color Picker
May 15, 2014I 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.
Forms :: Using Parameters With Dlookup Function

The function works perfectly as I change the jan and 0hq.

View 4 Replies View RelatedParameters Determined By Combo Boxs On Forms
Oct 1, 2007Hi All
I have set up a form to run a query. There are 3 main variables; 'Status', 'Substatus' and 'Publications'. The publications variable has multiple choices on the form as it is likely i will be sending out more then one publication at a time.
What I need to be able to do is that if a dropdown box is left empty it returns all fields of that variable but at the same time only those that are within the criteria set out by the other combo boxes.. i.e. status is left empty, but the query still runs and filters out those specific substatus and publication. I think this is becoming complicated because the publication criteria relys on five combo boxs.
So in short, how do i get a criteria to return all results for that field if the combo box is left empty but still filter the entire list by the other combo boxes.
I have tried setting the parameter in the criteria as "*" or forms.combobox1 etc but this doesnt really allow for the multiple selections for publictions!
help!, im a little lost.
many thanks in advance

Queries :: Using Controls From Separate Forms As Parameters In Same Query?
Mar 28, 2014I have 3 forms that all use the same sub form. The 3 main forms show 3 different project types, where the sub form shows what other projects that a company is engaged with. Rather than create 3 different queries for my sub form, i would like to just filter it using criteria that looks at the CompanyID field on my 3 main forms. Currently my criteria is like this:
[Forms]![frmProjects_Detail_IND]![txtcompanyid] Or Like [Forms]![frmProjects_Detail_CSS]![txtcompanyid] Or Like [Forms]![frmProjects_Detail_TAP]![txtcompanyid]
Is there a way to ignore the parameters that are null?
Forms :: Selecting Query Parameters From A Listbox - Select All
Aug 26, 2013I've got a code that allows me to select one or many names from a listbox on a form and return data relevant to the name(s) selected from a query. The following code is triggered by a button on the form...
Private Sub Toggle4_Click()
'Set it all up for CSM selection
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
[code]....
(Toggle 10 goes to the code for the second listbox which has the same code with different tables refered to giving two selections in the query.)
What I want to do is replace the "warning if nothing found" with a code to show data against all the names in the list box if nothing is selected in the listbox.
Queries :: How To Refer To Parameters In Navigation Forms In A Query
May 20, 2013I did a query which parameter is written in a text box - tprj. This text box is in a form, which is in a navigation control, which is within another navigation control. How can I refer, in the query, to this text box?
The navigation forms are nmain which contains nprojects.
nmainsub and nconsultprojects are the navigation subforms
fprjconsult is a normal form, which is inside nconsultproject
I tried the following criteria:
[Forms]![Nmain].[form]![nmainsub].[form]![nprojects].[form]![nconsultprojects].[form]![fprjconsult].[form].[text4]
And
[Forms]![Nmain].[form]![nmainsub]![nprojects].[form]![nconsultprojects]![fprjconsult].[form].[text4]
And
[Forms]![nmainsub]![nconsultprojects]![fprjconsult].[form].[text4]
And
[Forms]![Nmain]![nmainsub]![nprojects]![nconsultprojects]![fprjconsult].[form].[text4]
And other forms too but I can't get it right.how to refer to forms inside navigation forms, inside navigation forms, in SQL? What are the rules for writing it clearly?
Forms :: Refer To Combobox On Subform Within Navigation Form In Query Parameters
Jun 6, 2013There is a command button on my form that calls a filtered query. I'm filtering the query based on a combo box within the form using
[Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15]
It works beautifully until I put the form as a subform in the Navigation Form I'm using. When I execute it from within the Navigation form, it errors out looking for [Forms]![frmAssignDwgs]![Combo15].
Is there another syntax I can use so this will still work from within the Navigation Form? Or another way to approach this functionality?
frmNavigation is the main navigation form
frmAssignDwgToPkgs is the subform that holds Combo15
I found another thread (which I can't link to since I'm new) and tried various arrangements of the following to no avail.
[Forms]![frmNavigation]![NavigationSubform] .[Forms]![frmAssignDwgToPkgs]![Combo15]

Shortcut
Oct 25, 2005I'm making a shortcut to a report in my database. I'd like to place the shortcut to the report onto my desktop.
The problem is I'm running both access2000 and access97. Even tho I've told the computer to open all access programs in access97, when I go to open that shortcut to the report it opens in access2000.
How do I go about getting the report shortcut to open with access97 as well?
(I do need to keep access2000 for some rare files)
Thanks for any suggestions

Jan 17, 2005I'm looking for a way to send an email from access that contains either a shortcut to this database(Product Change Database-CURRENT.mdb) or a hyperlink to it. I've tried using this sendmessage code, but it seems to only work for actual files and not shortcuts.
If I replace "C:TEMPREADME.TXT" with "C:TEMPShortcut to Product Change Database-CURRENT.mdb" it gives me a message "The system cannot find the file specified."
It would also be nice if it showed email to the sender(like in Sendobject) and let the user edit the email.... currently it immediately sends it.
Maybe there is another way to do this, any help would be great.

Access Shortcut Key
May 9, 2014I remember there is shortcut keys for input field name when creating a queries. For example, when we try to create a query to combine field [firstname] and field [lastname] from customer table and we use: fullname:[firstname]+" "+[lastname]; instead of input this expression {fullname:[firstname]+" "+[lastname]} key by key, is there shortcut key that can input [firstname] into expression?

Shortcut Target Not Valid
Dec 3, 2005Trying to make a shortcut to join the workgroup and open a Db.
I made a shortcut for a Db, the shortcut defalt target was:
X:RC-OfficeRC_OFFICdatabaseProjects.mdb
I edited the target line to:
/wrkgrp ”X:RC-OfficeRC_OFFICdatabaseMS Access Workgroup.mdw” “X:RC-OfficeRC_OFFICdatabaseProjects.mdb”
I get wrkgrp not vaid target. I put the mdb file path first, I get not vaid target for the path to the Db.
I would rather not put in the whole MS Access program file. This is on a server that I don't know much about. Not sure I would get the program file right.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCustomising A Form Shortcut??
Mar 14, 2006Hi there, this maybe very simple but I can't seem to sort it out... I have a created a shortcut to my form database on my desktop but I want to know if there is a way in which I can make it so whenever I use the shortcut my database will open as a maximized screen as opposed to opening in a small window which it keeps doing, meaning I always have to maxmise (it may seem like something small but it gets quite annoying after a while) Can this be done? Or even better can I make it so that JUST the form opens and not the whole access program, as the other people using the database don't need to see and use anything else but the form. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I was wondering if any of you guys know how to specify a custom workgroup file in a shortcut to my database.
This is what I've got in my shortcut:
C:TESTTEST.mdb /w "C:TESTSECURITYFILE.MDW"
Basically I want access's system.mdw to remain the default mdw for access but want my mdb to use a different mdw.
Many thanks!
