How I can create an MDE with all options disabled including shift key bypass.
I want to remove all options in Tools>Startup except for the status bar.
I have tried using this code but am not getting anywhere with it
CurrentDb.Properties("AllowByPassKey") = 0
I am able to bypass the shift key so I can disable ribbon and all menus at startup.
But the issue I have is anytime someone makes a copy of the database or it is their first time opening it they get prompted with the security warning:
"Security Warning - some active content has been disabled, click here to enable"
and it gives them complete access to see the back end of the database because while that warning message is popped up ... before they click "enable" they can go do anything in the database including see tables, data, and vba.
Once they click "enable content" that first time the bypass takes effect and the ribbon and all menus disappear, but if they dont click it they can navigate all around the db
how can i stop that?
I disabled all the menues in the startup....how do I reverse this?

Is there a way to show "allow value list edits" button when "allow full menus" disabled?
In Access 2010 I'm setting and unsetting the bypass shift key property - set to true for users and set to false for me, the developer. No problem but what I can't figure out is how do I work out whether it is set or not?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Access 2003 db being used through Access 2007 in order to use user-based security.It is a spit db with the be being on a shared server.For some reason, the security login has been deactivated after working fine for over a year. The user goes right to the autoexec macro file without having to log in.
They are also getting a "Read-Only" message at the top about only being able change table in linked tables.The DB is configured to utilize the logon as a parameter in some queries.
I need to modify the access 2010 database. But when I open it the navigate pane of that database is disabled. How to make it enable?

View 1 Replies View RelatedNormally when I hold down the shift key when opening an Access database it opens in development mode. When I do this on a certain database it does not. It still opens in program mode. If I hit F11 it goes into a sort of development mode but I do not get the ribbon bar at the top etc.
Has something been set on this database to stop it opening in development mode? Can I switch it off?
I want to disable the previous row in the subform the moment I do a new row to prevent the user from editing information other users put before. Is it possible.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a couple of databases set up with shift key bypass and DB window hide and a couple of menu bar commands hidden (All code taken from this great forum :) ). Recently my company decided to upgrade Access 2000 to Access 2007 and they have given me a test environment and a time frame to convert / test all my applications.
I found this concept of ribbon and office links very different and shocking.
Is there a way of hidding somethings that you can do with the office links (like compact and repair) and a way of hiding some clusters in the ribbon (like export and import data, have a dtaasheet view of any form? etc) Any help or link along these lines would be helpful..
Thanks,
Priya
Hi,
I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction with this one....
I need to be able to check at any time which person is working a shift on a specific day, and whether they are working a day or night shift. In effect I have 4 engineers, who work on shifts A B C & D. All the engineers work a 4 on, 4 off shift pattern, so for example if engineer A is working day shift, engineer B will be working nightshift, C & D will be on rest days. The pattern rotates every 4 days, so in the case of engineer A:
1st - days
2nd - days
3rd - days
4th - days
5th - rest
6th - rest
7th - rest
8th - rest
9th - nights
10th - nights
11th - nights
12th - nights
13th - rest
14th - rest
15th - rest
16th - rest
...................and so on.
I need to be able to pull up a form that tells me which engineer is working which shift on a selected date -I hope I've explained myself properly. Can this be calculated 'on the fly' using VBA & a reference table or lookup? I'd prefer to do this by programming if possible.
Hope that someone can help.
Many thanks,
Mark
I notice that, no matter the context, the shortcut menu button to export to Excel is always disabled. The Export drop down button is enabled, but it only shows PDF and XPS as target formats. However there is no problem in exporting to Excel from tables, queries or even reports using the ribbon tools. I want users to be able to export selected reports to Excel but I don't want to give them full access to the ribbon. I'm using Access 2007 SP3.
Update: a further curiousity. If the database is in accdb format, I can use print preview, right-click on the preview, then select Export...>Excel and that works. But the Export option isn''t available after conversion to accde format.

View 14 Replies View RelatedHi all,
After searching through the "search" field, I realize lots of us are having problems with the menu's in access 2007.
After converting my 2003 DB to 2007, my menus are still there, but displayes as Add-ins instead of as the menu bar. I can't find any options to change during the conversion.
I have tried importing my Logon window with the options "menus and icons" clicked, but this didn't change anything.
If I open the DB in 2003 Format, then go to the options in Access 2007 I can choose the menubar, but if I convert to 2007, the menubar is only available as add-ins. Is there any way round this?
Appreciate any help - it is so time consuming trying to figure this out - and I seem to go round in circles, ticking options on and off... perhaps some dear soul has already found the answer!
Hi, I have hidden all the menus and added one of my own custom menus to a DB that I was creating. That DB has been completed. Now when I open a blank DB to commence again, I have the same hidden menues and my one custom menu. Is there away in Access 2003 that I can replace the template, for example, MS Excel and Word have .dot and personal.xls. Is there an easy way to bring them all back. I checked in startup for a restore defaults, however this does not work. Any ideas. Garry
