I am trying to make my form open directly when i open my access file.accdb. When i double click on my .accdb can it be done to open directly and only my form. I found a way to open my form but it opens the access program in the background.

Is there a way that when the user clicks on a database file, the form pops up without opening MS Access window.

I would like to know if it's possible to open an specific subform inside a navigation form using an event.
I also need to to this using macros ( really can't use vba in this project =/)
Form example:
the main form has "nav_opt1", "nav_opt2", "nav_opt3"
By double clicking a record in "nav_opt1", it will open "nav_opt2" with some filters (but all in the same window), as if I was just browsing through the navigation forms usually.
Hi..
I created a database using access database wizard. When I click on the mdb file the form directly opens, while when i click on the mdb file the I have made without using wizard, a list of tables appears and when i need to open a form i have to double click on the form.
Is there any way I can directly get the form to open when I open the mdb file.
I hope I am making my point clear here.

I've made my database, now I can remember in older access I could make it so when I click the database you would only see the form and not access its self. Is it still possible to do this in access 2010.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have MS Access on my PC however wish to move the accdb file to a network location to allow other network users to have access to it.
Unfortunately a few of the other users do not have MS Access. Is it possible for them to still open the database without any admin or background - I would like them to be able to use the forms and 'front end'.
I just finished a week long database project. All ready to show the users - who have 2007. I have 2010. I can't get it to open on their PCs even though it's saved as 2007 set. So I try to import it into 2007 - nope no going. Can I install 2010 runtime on their PC and have that database automatically open with it ....
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn fact, I have one principal d/b running on my access, ad/b which I had imported from my iPad... The import went smoothly enough but I face this problem. I usually scroll the table in order to locate a patient's name.
I can't find a way to select this line and have it switched to a card view in order to update it. I need to move to card view, search from there in order to locate this person in card view. I am sure there is a way to select a line ( a record) in table view and jump from there directly into this record in card view.
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.
I have tried a few times to get open args to work while opening a new form.I never could get it to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
I have a MS access db with a report that displays a list of students with a pic of their face on the side.
The pics are linked to a folder thats inside the folder where the .accdb file is stored.
The accdb is often moved around, but when it does, all the links become broken and the images are no longer displayed on the list.
How can i adjust the link path so that regardless of where the accdb is moved, the links remain valid?
I am using ms2007 and also its not a networked area but rather a bunch of standalone computers.
I have a form which on selecting a command button sends out an email to a manager to say a specification is ready to be reviewed (this contains a link to a sharepoint site where the spec resides). The "approval" details are stored in by DB also so I would like to have included in that email a link back to the access db and the particular record so the person receiving the email can easily approve, if that makes sense.
Here is my code for generating the email (at the point "To approve please click here" is where I would like my link to go):
[i][i] Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
strbody = "<font size=""3"" face=""Calibri"">" & _

I'm trying to get a combo box & button to work together. On the main form of the attached database, I just want the button to go to the associated record based off my selection (or entry) in the combo box.
I've tried the following:
- Looked through the Northwind sample database for a close example. Tried my best to replicate the functions but it didn't work
- Looked through other examples posted and tried to manipulate the code to no avail
- Tried using [Forms]![Main Form]![cmbLastName] in both the filter & criteria section of the macro
I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3"
End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?
I have backend/frontend database with several front end users who enter their activity on a daily basis. I need each front end to only show their own entries. I have an ID table with each staff name and ID. In the form I have asked it to open only specifically to a staff ID with this requirement in the properties. I have also set this in the field [ID2] itself.
[Forms]![frm_Ownership_ID].[ID2]
My problem is that when the database/navigation form opens, it always asks for the ID in a message box.How do I stop this from happening i.e. just open the database with specified staff ID.
when i open a form i want to open another frm at the same time. i have a main form with some buttons in it. when i click on a button and a form opens then i am not able to click on a button to open other forms from the main form.

I have a very simple table of basically a unique number and a couple data fields. On my form with those same fields, I need to be able to create a button that opens a pdf file that is named the same as that unique number. Here is the kicker...I have been able to create a hyperlink with a link to that file and it works fine.... I am trying to set it up so that the file name is automatically put into the hyperlink statement according to what the unique number is for each record.
what I did so far...
in my hyperlink: *file://c:/docubase/3840.pdf (only put * in so not a link here)
this works fine but I need the syntac to make that line take into account the account field (ID) for each record. So something similar to this (already tried this and it doesnt work)
*file://c:/docubase/[id].pdf
I want to lock a form but keep it visible when a 2nd form opens in front of it. I would also like to keep the 2nd form on top. How to do these 2 things?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a table with a schedule of tasks that are required weekly for the next year. Each record has Monday's date as the Scheduled_Date" for the task. From my main form, I have a command button to open a form linked to the table, so that amendments can be added to the table for each record (i.e. - If a task is complete/incomplete/progressing etc. the user marks it so.
What I would like to do is have the form open at the task scheduled for the current week, based on the "Scheduled_Date" value. Whilst I can do this with a simple filter, I would like the form to open with all records available to the user so that they can go forwards/backwards as they wish, but the first record they see when the form opens is the one specific to this weeks date.
I have a folder called site docs on our server m:/estates/sitedocs...I want to have a button that opens this folder but in the correct site sub folder

I have a series of forms. The 1st form is my main menu. On this form I have 5 command buttons which gives the user options to ...
Button1 - Enter Station Scores
Button2 - Print Performance Sheets
Button3 - Print Audit Sheets
Button4 - System Administration
Button5 - Quit
When the user clicks one of the buttons (with the exception of the Quit button) I perform the following code (This code is for the 1st button)...
Code:
Private Sub cmdEnterStationScores_Click()
' Open select workstation
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSelectWorkstation", acNormal, , , , acWindowNormal
' Close main menu
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmMainMenu", acSaveNo
End Sub
So far so good...
The "Select Workstation" form opens fine with no sign of the main menu. I have a "Continue" button on this form which opens yet another form using the following code...
Code:
Private Sub cmdContinue_Click()
' Delete workstation name
Call DeleteWorkstationName
' Store selected workstation
Call StoreWorkstationName(strSelectedStation)
[Code] ....
...For some reason the "Main Menu" form reopens itself at the same time as the "Enter Sort Scores" form, so I have 2 forms on the screen, with the "Main Menu" screen on top.
Why does the Menu form re-open?
I have set breakpoints in every bit of code I have and stepped through it all, but nothing I can see references the Menu form!
