General :: Custom Ribbon Always Jumps Back To First Tab
Jul 23, 2012
I've created a custom ribbon for my end users (Access 2010) and everything looks and works great except for one issue that is becoming a deal breaker for me and my end users:
I've got a number of tabs on my custom ribbon and on each tab there are a number of buttons that open various forms and reports. Anytime one of those forms or reports is opened and then closed, the ribbon jumps back to the first tab in my custom ribbon. So if you were on tab 3, opened a form and then closed it, you would be jumped back to tab 1.
Any workaround for what seems to be "by design" behavior for custom ribbons? The built-in ribbon does not do this.....
I found the following getimage script but am not sure how to apply it to my button, I have seem various examples on sites but just can't get it to work. Can I somehow set the icon path like C:Image1.png
Code: Public Sub getImages(control As IRibbonControl, _ ByRef image) Set Image = LoadPicture(getAppPath & control.Tag)
' Maybe something like ' Set Image = LoadPicture(c:image1.png) End Sub
In Access 2010 I made a custom ribbon.The File Tab still gives users access to features that should not be available to them such as: Compact & Repair, Encrypt etc.I spent a few hours looking for a solution but found none that works.It does not seem to be possible to hide the File Tab, but is there a way to hide the options it reveals?
I have created an application. It has a split front end and back end. I plan to distribute the runtime version. I have used code throughout that "hides" the microsoft access shell for popup (modal) windows. In every form & report I have a function to show or hide the access window. Everything works great until I get to my reports. I open reports in print preview. I created a custom table (USysRibbons) and added a Reports print preview ribbon & xml. I assigned that ribbon to my report(s), and I assigned it in options as the default ribbon. If I test the ribbon (by working in the database using "shift" open) I see my ribbon. But, in when I open app without shift or or if I emulate runtime, I can't get the ribbon.
I have multiple popups forms, several non popup forms and a couple of reports.I just want to keep all the access background stuff hidden - except for needing the ability to print.
Every time I enter the value for the OservationType in Subfrm it jumps back to the very first record. Can any body help me solving this problem. I thought it is tub order issue but it is not. I attached the sample db to this email. Please, help me. Thanks.
In Access 2007.I have a Main Form with (1) subforms that have a differenet .RibbonName set. When switching focus to the subforms, the Ribbon Tab for the Main Form stays active and the subform's Ribbon is not activated. I have put the ribbons assigned to the subforms on a main form, and they activate as expected. This is a major issue to which I can find nothing on the web!If i open subform directly, ribbon functioning fine
-Allow Full Menus = false; -start from scratch = true;
When I add a record in the subform and then move to the next record whilst still in the subform, the main form jumps back to its first record? I then have to move back to the right record in the main form to update the next record in the subform.
I want to move to the next record in the subform without affecting the main form.
I am new to access. I have an application which has a custom tool bar. I tried to find the corresponding code for the custom tool bar by using the name of the tool bar. But was unsuccessful.
I want ot find the corresponding code for it. Where can I find the custom tool bar code in the VBA code of the applcaition?Actually, I want to add macros, queries and forms as a dirsct short cut in the existing custom tool bar.How to add macros and queries to the existing tool bar??
When I have the Home and Create default ribbons showing... then when I choose to Preview a report the Print Preview Ribbon is displayed and the Home and Create Ribbons are hidden or not visible.I have created a CustomRibbon and this CustomRibbon is not hidden when I choose to preview a report. The Print Preview ribbon is shown but the CustomRibbon keeps the focus and is not hidden.I would like for the CustomRibbon to not be visible.
I want to create an addin that adds a tab to the ribbon. I already have an add in installed that works exactly the way I want mine to, but I can't find the .mda file anywhere. I want to stick with the .mda so I have access to my forms. Here are some images of that add in I mention.
I am upgrading an Access 2000 system to 2007 and replacing user toolbars with Ribbons.I have a strange parsing error that I think is not my error.
I have placed the following control into a group:
<control idMso="GroupPrintPreviewClosePreview" label="Close Preview" enabled="true"/> and "the system" rejects it with Error Code 0x80004005 Element <group> is not expected in <group>I
t turns out that it is finding the word Group within the double quotes and interpretting is at part of the XML syntax.
Change to another idMSO and the problem goes away. Same happened with another control that had the word Group in the id.
I know how to use a callback to to action a button click directly.
But I also have a drop down list of my buttons on a form (they are dynamically created, so the details are stored in a table), I want to select a button from my drop down lists and then action the button selected.
EDIT: In short - I want to execute a ribbon button via vba knowing its Control.ID.
The user wants all the non-basic functionality of the ribbon hiden. To accomplish that by doing the usual stuff:
File >> Options >> Current Database >> Allow Full Menus (unchecked)
Everything worked as expected, but we came across an issue. The user needs to open a report in "print preview" and they need to be able to export their report to excel. The "print preview" ribbon tab is there, but it is not showing the "Data" area, where all the export options are.
How can I do this without a costume ribbon?
Maybe there is a way of manipulating which areas of the ribbon/tabs/areas/controls are enabled from VBA?
I have report that i have in preview. In that report i have ribbon that has buttons close and print. Close works fine, with print it goes ok but when "printer selection" comes, i try to change printer it informs that not enough memory. All this code that is in ribbon buttons is in VBA.
What could be the reason for memory stuff or how could this be made that this inform wouldn't come.
Code below: Sub EnnakkoMyButtonCallbackOnAction(control As IRibbonControl) Select Case control.ID Case "MyBtn1" DoCmd.OpenReport "Tuotanto Ennakko", acViewPreview
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
i have built an application , all i have is one main form and every action take place inside it. Before making it as .accde file for code protection, i want to hide table pane, navigation ribbon, the Main form Tab. i.e only Main form should open like a applicaiton and not inside access as a tab.
I inherited a database from someone else which has about 9000 records.
When sorted, one can see that the AutoNumbering starts at about 72K...then after a while there is a jump to about 134K...then after some more records the AutoNumber suddenly goes up to about 396K.
Does anyone know the most likely reason(s) that the numbering is like this?
I would like to create a command button that saves a report as a PDF. Currently I am using the built in "PDF or XPS" button but it always opens Adobe reader at the end and also a dialog with the option to save export steps. I want nothing other than a simple save dialog like I can do with a VBA command, but is it even possible to add a custom command to the quick access toolbar?
I know you can add custom commands to the ribbon but the user of this database keeps the ribbon minimized due to it eating up too much of his screen space. The QAT is always visible.
Creating and installing a custom icon for my database but I'm still seeing the access icon. I've done these things:
-I made a 32x32 bitmap in photoshop. -I saved it in the same folder as my database. -I opened access 2007 with my database -I went to access options/current database/application options/application icon and browsed for my bitmap. -Clicked on use as form and report icon. -Closed everything and reopened my database.
I couldn't see my icon anywhere in explorer, access or my desktop shortcut for my database.I repeated all this except I put the bitmap into an online icon creator and downloaded an .icon for win vista and win 7 which I selected as above.
I have converted a 2003 database to the 2010 file format. In the 2010 database, I have created the USysRibbons table with 2 separate ribbons. One of the ribbons need to load depending on what the user chooses upon opening the database. I have a form that opens with the database and the user can either choose "Premium" or "Subsidy." I'm uncertain as to why the conversion will not replicate how the database works in 2003 but if I had to assume it would be because of the ribbons. I found a small piece of VBA that I think needs to be changed but I'm not sure to what or how. As of right now, I don't have a ribbon loading, just the form to load when the database is opened. Except I noticed that the "add-ins" opens the correct menu depending on which the user chose.
I actually went into Options--->Current Database--->Ribbon and Toolbar and selected a generic ribbon (File, which just has exit because it's the same whether the user selects Premium or Subsidy).
To clarify if needed, the user doesn't actually log in. The form that pops when the database opens has the drop down of either Premium or Subsidy. So really it goes like this:
Open database Select Premium Click Enter Premium ribbon loads
OR
Open database Select Subsidy Click Enter Subsidy ribbon loads
Technically, if I could have just the form pop I'd be cool with that because on the form there is an Exit Application button where the user could click and exit the database. When either the Premium or Subsidy ribbon is loaded, I already have an exit in the coding.
Public Sub openRegion(authority As String, region As String) If (cboRegion.value = region) Or (region = "ALL") Then 'open region selected If cboRegion.value = "PREMIUM" Then loadPremium authority
I'm looking to simplify some aspects of our company's order database, including standard notes that appear on the sales orders that we send to customers. We have different lines of business and the notes vary. We currently have several reports, depending on the type of order, with the notes hard coded in labels. It's not an elegant, nor scalable, solution.
Our ideal solution: One order report only, with an option for the user to select one or more notes from a list when they enter the order. I'm thinking a popup form with a checkbox next to each note, where each checked note will print on the order report.
My database has been set with the 'All records' locking option set to prevent two or more people editing files at once. This is working fine but I wondered if there is a way to make a more personal message appear instead of the default Access one, just to maintain a uniform look.
