General :: Invoking On Screen Keyboard In Window 8 From Access
Apr 18, 2014
Is there anyway to bring up the on screen keypad or on screen keyboard from Access when running Windows 8 on the desktop? It would really be useful if someone was on a tablet wanting to input data in a text box if could automatically invoke the onscreen keyboard. By default when running applications on the desktop in Windows 8, one has to manually bring it up. I would like to include a touch option so every time wanted to enter data, they would not have to manually touch display keyboard option. A number pad like in excel for iPad would be even better. If text field would bring up keyboard, if number field, it would bring up number pad.

Hi,
i'm building a on screen keyboard with has to adjust fields on a subform.
When pressing a key a letter is added in a certain field like :
me!subform!field1= me!subform!field1 & "Q"
How can i detect which field has the focus on the subform and the code is only editting this field ?
I've tried to set a global variable ( veld ) when a certain field got the focus and use this value in the code like :
me!subform(veld)= me!subform(veld) & "Q"
This is not working .... what should be the correct code ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm looking to take a screen dump of the current Access window, and save it to disk, as part of the error handling for my application. Does anybody have any suggested starting points? I've been Googling around for a while, but haven't really turned up anything concrete.
This (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=240653) was as close as I really got (sending the print screen keystroke), however I still need a way to save this data to the disk.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Adam.

Can there be any solution to automatically fit the form size to monitor size?

Our client has about 10 end users on Terminal Serve, and they occasionally get white screen error. The event log show following error message
"The program MSAccess.exe version 14.0.7104.5000 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed.

Right I have Windows 7 Ultimate because I am learning Russian and I have created an English Russian dictionary.
Now using Ultimate to go between English Latin alphabet and the Cyrillic alphabet you have to press ALT + SHIFT.
Its awkward and it often doesn't register first time.
Certain fields in my database use the latin alphabet while other fields use the cyrillic alphabet.
Is there a way that on focus of a field I can get the keyboard mapping to ensure that it is correct either English or Cyrillics?

I have tried to make a login screen, I have also searched for information and tried some of the examples but, I just can't get one to work.
Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).
Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode.
I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.
Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.

Through a set of circumstances, I have had to quickly migrate a long-standing (and business critical) database from Access 2003 to Access 2013, without the sort of prepping and planning that I would normally do in such circumstances.
Most functionality appears to be working ok...
Many of my database objects, especially queries, were given meaningful descriptions.
For example, a number of queries might have been described as "Accounts Data Validation".
When I wanted to run validation of the Accounts data, I would simply sort the database queries window by description, then scroll to the relevant section and run all of the tagged queries in turn.
However, having migrated to Access 2013, although the descriptions are still shown, I can no longer sort by them !
Medium term, I could probably assign different database objects to "Groups", but we are talking hundreds, perhaps even thousands of different objects and that would be a laborious and extremely tedious process.
Any way of sorting the database window by description in Access 2013 ?

Hi,
When the user click the button, then it will give out a popup form to the screen, but I want to make the popup form's height as same as the screen/window/monitor's height, because the popup form's height is larger than the screen's height, and every user's monitor's height is different. So, I have to make it flexiable change of the height of the popup form.
How can I check the screen/window height by VBA function?
In Excel, it has Application.Height to check. In MS Access Form, I cannot find one for doing that.
Please let me know if you have one.
Thanks.

Hello again,
I have a MS Access project that uses a SQL Server connection to retrieve data. It is set up to authenticate the user every time the database is used, which is what I want it to to.
The problem is the timing of the dialog. In 'design mode', Access tries to show the Database window as soon as the file is loaded, realizes that it has to fetch data from the SQL connection, and prompts the user for the password - this is fine. However, the 'release version' has a different setup. Automatic showing of the database window is disabled, and the user controls the app via a customized menu instead. The result is that Access only prompts the user for his SQL Server credentials when a form is opened - this isn't OK. I would like Access to always ask for a SQL logon when the file is opened, even in 'release' mode.
I'm kinda new to using Access and SQL Server together, but I suppose there is some way of programatically invoking the dialog via a macro, right ? If so, what function should I use, and how do I make a macro that is run immediately after opening the file ?
It would also be nice if there was some way of detecting a successful logon, so that it can reinvoke the dialog indefinitely if logon fails.
Thanks for everything :)

I want to display the message "Processing Record ? of ???..." on the screen while my vba code is running without interruption. Since the msgbox requires the user to click a button to continue, what is the simplest way to display this message on the screen without interrupting the program or requiring user interaction?

I have a database that logs people in and out. Works great unless the user minimizes the navigation page and clicks the X on the main Access Page. I have to keep the minimize button active on my nav page.
Is it at all possible to disable the main access page for the user?
If not, is it at all possible to set a logout macro to the X button on the main page?
If not, is it at all possible to set a logout macro to activate on "Quit Access"?

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.

I have included some code to disable the access PassKey (holding shift down as you open the database so that the database window appears). It is password protected and it works pretty well for normal users.
However, I have realised that even in this restricted mode you can go to File-Options-Current database and enable Access Keys. This then lets you open the database window by pressing F12.
My question is, is there a way to absolutely stop anyone from ever viewing the database window at all? All my code is password protected, but I still don't want an ICT person fiddling with my tables and queries!

I have a database and I need it so once the database file is launched the Database window & tool bars are hidden so people cannot see them. Along with that once the operator clicks on "Exit" on the main menu I would want it to close the database but display all of the Windows / Tool Bars again.

I was reading how to make a a button open a webpage. I found out how to and what to type in the Visual Basics. It worked but like another user said, when ever he clicks the button, the window opens for the website but the window is not maximized. He said "I set the open new window value to True".

Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:
