I have a form that maximizes when it loads and that works fine, but when I run a macro to open it the command is bypassed. Is there a way around this?
I've tried setting the code to run on different events (open/activate) but that didn't change anything.
The reason I want a Macro to open it is so I can set the property to Add only, perhaps there's another way I can do that, perhaps as part on the form open event in VBA instead?
I am using MS Access 2003.
I would like to open the form = VendorPayables_Maintenance_F
Choose a cheque number
Print the cheque
How to create a macro to
close the open report = d_One cheque information
and close the open form = VendorPayables_Maintenance_F
I'm a newbie using Access 2007.I am trying to make things as easy as possible for the user of a database that I have been working on. The users maximum screen resolution is 1600 x 900 and I want to have specific forms automatically "maximise" to fit the screen.I have set the Form property "Fit to Screen=Yes" but it does not do what I am expecting and want.I also have "Auto Resize=Yes"
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Form [frmLogon] which opens on db open to allow users to logon, once they have entered their username and password they click a cmdbutton which then minimises [frmLogon] and opens form [Navigation Menu].
On close of form [Navigation Menu] how can I get [frmLogon] to restore to its original open state from being minimised.By the way i have to keep [frmLogon] open as it provides an OpenArgs reference to another form for security data!
I have forms that show commitments by Client, by Cost Centre, by Provider etc.
If I add new commitments or edit commitments it is done through the Commitments by Client form, as all other forms lead back to this one.
To create a new or edit an existing commitment, it is done through a Commitment Form, which goes into a query (query A)which does all the calculations. My client form has subforms based on Query A, however my other forms (commitments by Cost Centre etc) have subforms which have querys that are based on Query A . I hope that made sense.
My problem is that If I edit a commitment, the client form and subforms refrlect the changes imediately, even though they are open and I can see them changing when I change the commitments. However the other ones don't unless I close them and re-open them.
My navigation within the database is based on once a form has been opened it is set to be invisible untill called on again (i.e. visible = False).
How to requery all the forms without having to close them.
I would like to ask if there is a way so that using vba code to be able to closed any opened form in my database.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a access form that has a text box that holds a search term. The search term is used as a variable in a query. The query results populate a list box. Selecting a result in the list box populates the rest of the form where the record can be edited. All of that works great...sort of. When first opening the form you cannot view any records. The search function works fine and the list box populates but selecting a record does not populate the rest of the form. Attempt to navigate (next, first, etc.) and you get a "You can't go to the specified record" dialog. There is a simple fix for this. Open the form as normal. Then switch to design mode. Do absolutely nothing. Switch back to form mode. All is well.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've searched and can only find information setting the visible property when selections are made on an open form--I want to set the visible property when the form is opened depending on which avenue the user chooses from the navigation form.
I have a navigation form (Form A) and a second form with a subform (Form B). The user will choose from a combobox, either an existing record or a new record on Form A. On Form A there are two buttons, one that will take the user to the correct record on Form B for editing and one that will open to a new record on Form B. Once Form B is open, all controls will be blank (if a new record is chosen) or with certain controls prepopulated if an existing record is chosen.
What I want to do is to hide controls on the main form (not the subform) of Form B if the user chooses an existing record. Form A's buttons work correctly to open Form B right now. I want to be able to hide prepopulated controls on Form B if the user chooses an existing record from Form A.
Here's the code I'm using to open Form B to an existing record. I'd like to set the visible property here if at all possible.
NOTE: "Form A" and "Form B" are not the actual names of my forms--it's just easier for illustration purposes here in my question.
Private Sub cmdAddLogEntry_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form B", acNormal, , "Activity_ID = " & Me.cboINum
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Form A", acSaveYes
End Sub
Hi
I want to see Which tabel was opened, who and when opened it.
And if possible I want to see what is changed.
I want to see as I mentioned above as a "log file"
Thank you

IN Access 2007 when a Continuous form is opened there is no records shown.
Only after hitting the page down records are shown.
I have a database of books. I have a combobox listing 3 different status W M R.
W is for Whats next to read, M is for more books too read and R for books read or reading now. I can enter a new book by calling up the add a book form from any of those 3 forms.
If I forget to enter a letter in the combo box then the book is lost to those 3 forms as what they see depends on that status letter and I have to go to the table and enter a letter from there.
I want to know if I can auto populate the field (W M R) depending on which form opened the add a book form.
I'm using a navigation control to switch between forms. In one of those forms, I have a continuous subform which is a list of Projects (source is a query) that is read-only. To edit a project, I can click on its name, which switches the form displayed in the navigation control via docmd.BrowseTo (with acEditForm as the last parameter). This works fine. The proper form opens, with the proper project being displayed.
Now, on this second form, I have on the right the list of tasks contained in the project in a continuous subform (source is a query), and on the left another subform which is kind of an "edit bar" that I use to actually edit the individual tasks. So, when I click on a task in the task list, the OnCurrent event triggers a docmd.BrowseTo command that updates the "edit bar" subform and passes the ID of the task as the WhereCondition parameter. This updates the values displayed in the Edit Bar to that of the selected task, which I can then edit.
Now here's the thing: depending on the project I open, the Edit Bar doesn't work. Actually, it looks like only one of the projects is working, while the others are not (and I managed to have a different project working, but only one works at any given try). When it doesn't work, the Edit Bar is in "NewRecord = True" for some reason. All the other properties of that subform seem to be the same between when it works and when it doesn't.
So, it looks like the same command (docmd.BrowseTo with acEditForm) opens the subform properly in acEditMode when it works, and in something else when it doesn't, depending on the parent record that's being opened.
This really gets me, I really can't figure out how that's even possible.
I suspect it might have something to do with locked records, maybe?
Hi,
I have in the Form_Load() event, the following command:
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub
It has been fine for several weeks, and today, when I open the form, it does not maximize. Also, there are a few other commands that are not working, connected to macros, plus an "Exit" button that was created using the wizard. I checked all of the code and macros for accuracy and nothing seems to be wrong. I have no idea where to begin looking.
Any clues, helps or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jake
I have read several tips to maximize my reports. The common one is the DoCmd.Maximize. However, when I type this into "On Open" on the properties window in the design mode I get the error message "Can't find the Macro "DoCmd".
How do I fix this?
Jeff
Hello,
I have tried using the following code to maximize my form on open but it is not working, any ideas?
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_Form_Open
DoCmd.Maximize
Exit_Form_Open:
Exit Sub
Err_Form_Open:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Form_Open
End Sub
Ok, this seems really lame to have to post this but in Access2007 none of my form or table windows have Mininize, Maximize, or the ability to resize. There is a Close X but nothing else. Being used to Access2003, I am used to being able to resize the windows or at least minimize them. The properties panel has control for these items but they do not appear when I set the properties to yes.

right now im just adding form space on the leftside so it comes somewhere in the middle but if somone has a diffrent ressolution then it wont work as well.
I have some trouble getting a form to open maximized. This form is opening from a switchboard that is centered and not sizable. After clicking on a command button in the switchboard the form I am having trouble with opens in its own window, but I cannot get it to maximize automatically. I have been to every setting I know on the form properties but for some reason nothing seems to be able to get that form to open maximized.:confused:
Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!

I have a bit of a problem with a database in Access 2013. On 1 of the forms, I have a number of buttons which open other forms and filter the results using an embedded macro. All has been well until a few days ago when error 2950 pop up box started appearing. After fiddling around for a while it all works OK (without actually changing anything) until next time the database is opened. I checked to make sure the location is "trusted" and all seems OK.

I created autoexec macrro. But when i open the form as a dialog box it doesn't show minimize and maximize button.. it only shows close button so what should i do..Also i want to create the log in form as well..So here is what i want
1) when i open the database it shows me log in box and if i put right password and username
- if i put wrong password it should keep promoting me until i put right login details and this login shouldn't be displaying the close button otherwise users can easily access through database.
2) the navigation form should be pop up.
I have created a report with a subreport for my database. The user selects the project for which he/she wants to see a report. Once the project is selected, the report is displayed in a popup window and maximized in the print preview layout. This allows the user to view and read the report. Once this is done, there are no buttons or menus on the screen that allows the user to send the report to a printer or file.
Other than the report, there are minimize / maximize and close buttons at the top right of the window and page selection buttons at the bottom left of the window. If the user wants to print the report, they must either hit ctrl-P or right click the mouse on the screen to display a menu from which the user can select print to open a print dialog box. Is there any way to add a button or menu to the print preview that appears on the screen to make printing easier?
