Forms :: Button Opening In New Window?
Apr 30, 2014
I am using Access 2010 and creating a front-end for a customer database.
Take a look at the screen capture I added to this post.
What I want to happen is on that "Supplier" button. When I click on it, it opens a new window with the "Supplier" form and on the specific supplier for this product. There is an attached image of what that macro looks like.
The problem I am having is that I do not want the Supplier form to open in a new window, I want it to open within the Navigation Form, replacing the what is currently on the screen.

My application is developed in Access 2003 version. Recently we moved from Access 2003 to Access 2010. Now users are facing usability issues like - in Access 2003 all the forms are opening in different windows and they can move to forms easily. But in Access 2010 all the Forms are opening in same window, if they want to move to different forms then they need to close the current window or press ctrl+F6. How can I enable/open forms multiple window in Access 2010.

I am working on a form as a user interface. I have added an picture to the form and it will change, according to the selection in the combobox. It looks small, and not clear because of the size, and each image has different sizes. I would like to know if there is a a way that will allow me to click on it, and then it will open in another window so it is bigger with the right sizes. I was thinking that it could be something in the on click event.

I have three forms:
Form_A (main form for the application - should always be open)
Form_B (always open, but sometimes has visibility set to false)
Form_C (opens from button on Form_B)
When I press the button on Form_B, the only code behind it is DoCmd.OpenForm "Form_C". This seems to hide Form_B, and open Form_C behind Form_A (which is the main form of the application) inside of an Access window.
I would like Form_C to open in front of Form_B. I suspect that I set up the form incorrectly or something when I created it, and it is therefore opening inside an Access window.

I created a command button from using the wizard so when I click to delete the record the button is for, a window pops up asking if I am sure I want to delete the record. Is there a way to not have the button pop up?
Here is the code:
Private Sub cmdCompleted_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdCompleted_Click
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord
Exit_cmdCompleted_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdCompleted_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdCompleted_Click
End Sub

I'm having some trouble opening a group of forms using a combobox. I think I'm really close, but I'm having some errors that prevent me from doing so.
I have a Combobox called "Letter Type" that contains the names of all of the other forms that exist. I want to be able to select a form from the combobox and click on the button "Compose." This should then open that form.
I had some trouble trying to get the Combobox value to work properly so I decided I would just create a hard workaround by using If/Then statements.
This is what I have in the On_Click event of my button.
Private Sub Compose_Click()
If Me.Letter_Type = "Refund Request" Then
strForm = "Refund_Request"
ElseIf Me.Letter_Type = "Request for Records" Then
strForm = "Request_for_Records"
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, , , Me.[Reference_#] = Forms![Reference_#]
End Sub
The catch is that I want the form to only open with one record and I want that record to be the same record the user was viewing on the previous form. I thought I would tie them together using the "Reference #" since it is unique.
When I click on Compose I get a "type mismatch" on the Reference #, though I'm not sure why.

I would like to open a PDF document using a button control on a form to a file path listed in a field on the form (Me.Link). I am trying to use the followHyperlink code but I keep getting the runtime 490 error.
This is the code im using:
Dim strFilePath As String
strFilePath = Me.Link
Application.FollowHyperlink (strFilePath)
If I put a filepath to one of the pdf documents in the place of (strFilePath) it opens that pdf document fine but not when I declare a filepath based on the one listed on the form.

I made a form pivot chart. When I open it by going to forms and opening, it opens in the pivot chart view. However, I created a button on a switchboard form for easy access to this pivot chart form and when it opens from the button it is in form view and not pivot chart view. How can I get it to open in pivot chart view from this button so that the users don't have to keep switching it to pivot chart view manually?

I have a weird problem with one of my databases. Out of a sudden, when I wanted to open that database the databse window did not show up anymore. With this I can not access my forms, tables etc. any longer. However, when I click on View->Databaseobjects and choose e.g Forms than I can click on the code icon and I can access my code as well as the corresponing form in the design view. I can not access the tables but when I click on the "show fields" in the design view the list of fileds is showing for the corresponding form.
I tried that database on 3 different PC's with the same effect.
Does anybody have an idea what could have caused that the database window is not showing anymore and/or how could I bring that window back.
Thanks for any help and advice

I would like to open a Word document using a button control on a form to a file path listed in a field on the form. I use the following code when I want to open a single specific document...
Dim wdApp As Word.Application, wdDoc As Word.Document
On Error Resume Next
Set wdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then 'Word isn't already running
Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(File path here)
wdApp.Visible = True
...but in this case the file path I want to use will be designated by a field on the form. I know I could just use a hyperlink but I don't like the way it looks on the form. I would rather hide that field and have code pull that path when I hit the button.
So how would I change my code to make it so the value in the file path field on the form goes in where it says "File path here" in my code above?

Hi guys,
I've had this problem before.
The debug window will open and stop at a line of code even though it has no breakpoint.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks.

I need Access to open an Excel file prior to pulling information from it, because the Excel file itself only updates when it is opened. I was able to achieve this with the code below:
Quote:
'Opens a hidden Excel window.
Dim app As New Excel.Application
app.Visible = False
Dim book As Excel.Workbook
Set book = app.Workbooks.Open("S:OperationsAssistantDataba sesBUSES.xlsx")
[code]....
This works fine if NO Excel window is already open, but if the user happens to have some file open in Excel already, my code doesn't seem to work right. The file does not open in a hidden window. Instead, it opens in the window already open, and additionally, the file is not closed afterward, which leaves the user wondering where the hell this random file came from, and they have to close it. I need this Excel file to open, but I want it to be completely hidden from the user.

Hi there,
My problem seems somewhat simple, but I guess since I'm posting this it was quite the contrary. I've completed my form and have linked all queries and reports and created all my macros for the form. Everything looks great but I when I created a .MAF shortcut to access the form directly from my desktop, it opens the form really big and maximized. Every time I open it, I hit the 'restore down' box-in-box button on the top right and it makes it just how I want it. Can I retain this as a default setting when I open it? I've checked in the Form options but no luck.

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?

Hello everybody, it's been a while since i wrote on the forums and yet again I am in the need to ask for the help of this wonderful community.
I have a form on which is a button that I want when pressed to open a Windows Explorer window displaying the contents of a directory.
The exact way that I want this thing to work is like this : The user is browsing a form of lets say client details and on the form lies the button that when pressed will take the client's name and apply it to the path in order to open that Windows Explorer window and create a path like C:program filesclient name and display the contents of that window.
I would like if possible someone who can point me as to how I can construct this button to work cause I cant see to get it done.
Many thanks for your time :)

I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load()
OpenTimer = Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer()
If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes
End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.
