General :: Modules Not Appearing As Object Types In Navigation Pane
Apr 19, 2013
I am now working on this new database. I would like to make a calculation so that I could derive a value called eGFR from a patient's serum creatinine. This is a test of kidney function.I am having the following problems.
a. Modules are not appearing in the Navigation Pane of the Access 2007. When I press 'Object Types' in the Navigation Pane I get all object types such as tables, queries, forms, reports, macros but not modules. I know there are modules as I have written lots of vba code.
b. I have written the following code within this Function. The following is the code.
Public Function eGFR(creatinine, Gender, Age) As Single
If IsNull(Age) Or IsNull(creatinine) Then
eGFR = 0
Else
[code]....
This code is working fine in another database, however when I try to upload a query in the current database that has this function in one of the fields, I get an error saying the the function eGFR does not exit.
I have inserted the function into one of the modules that I have managed to enter.
Do I need to deposit the code elsewhere? How do I access Modules from the Navigation Pane?
I've inherited an Access 2000 database that is used to enter and print various types of data. I am using Access 2010 and when I open it I am in a forms view for the main user interface. I want to see and/or edit the objects that make up this database but I can't find a way to see them. The navigation pane is not visible and using F11 doesn't open it. How can I see the database objects?
I have three access 2010 tables, each standing alone with their own navigation pane, etc. Is there a way that I can put all 3 tables into one navigation pane? What I need is to build a Switchboard where each of the 3 tables are my choices .
I tried to modified access 2010 database. But I open it the Navigation Pane is grey out (disable) and I cannot to see any database object. How to make the Navigation Pane active?
I want to keep the navigation pane open for use by the users, but I want it locked so that the users can't click on the top menu and change the pane's display from All Access objects to any of the other choices.
LockNavigationPane set to Yes is not the solution as this only prevents people adding, deleting and moving objects (such as tables/querys/forms).
I'd like to count the number of objects in my DB to check if I'm running into the 32,768 object limit. I'm experiencing unusual and disconcerting behavior, and all the normal corruption repair techniques aren't working. I've imported all the objects into a new database container, decompiled, compact & repair, and nothing works until the I delete some objects (forms, reports, queries, etc).
New objects created don't appear in the navigation pane until I close and re-open. Also, changing a query type from select to append doesn't result in the icon changing in the navigation pane.Code seems to run fine and everything else appears OK, but I really can't continue development until this issue is resolved. I fear continued development may lead to further corruption.after 20 years, this application has grown, I use a variety of techniques to get the size of the application. Currently:
1. 201,200 lines of code in 910 modules, reports and forms. 2. 544 forms 3. 328 reports 4. 3,617 queries (yes, I know, but it's so much work) 5. 450 tables (about half are linked)
I always thought, without thinking too deeply, that the number of objects in the spec refers to the number of reports, forms, modules, etc. But, now I'm wondering, do they also mean all the controls on the forms, and or the fields in the tables? What do they mean by objects.
I used Point Limited's translation modules recently to extract all the label and caption text for a French language translation project and it pulled out something like 21,000 individual controls, and, combined with this issue, I'm beginning to wonder...
Is there a way to minimize the navigation pane and the upper tabs on start up? I have several big forms that don't seem to fit unless these are minimized.
Whenever I create a new query or report, it automatically becomes Hidden, and the only way that I can see it (still as hidden) is to close out of Access and then go back in.
I've got a database that is locked down for all users with forms so they can navigate the system and the navigation pane is hidden. On a couple of the forms there are buttons to print the form and when that button is clicked it unhides the navigation pane...???
I understand the principle of renaming the above of using the navigation pane and selecting the object but what is happening in my case is that when I select the specific table/query I wish to rename, the text is highlighted as per normal but the instant I move the cursor onto that cell that whole panel highlights in red and then reverts back to the original state of just the text in that panel (now highlighted).
I do not know if this is related to the problem but I have a text box with the "code" =Count([tblEntries].[CageNo]).
This was working perfectly okay but both this and the renaming appeared to happen about the same time. I have opened other Access files and the same re the renaming occurs. I have secure security running and do not think this could be the problem but anything is possible.
I use DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon" acToolbarNo (or acToolbarYes) depending on a value in a table which I have shown certain "trusted" users how to change.
But is it possible to do something similar with the Navigation Pane?
I have a user login form wherein my users authenticate their employeeid as well as their person PIN. If the user authenticates with a valid username/ password combination, then the employee id and the role (permissions) for that user are stored on the form and it is minimized to stay open. If the user that authenticates has "Admin" role then I want to unhide the navigation pane. For all other roles I want the navigation pane to remain hidden.
That said, the default setting in the database is for the navigation pane to remain hidden. I have a piece of code on the login form as follows:
Code: If Me.role = "Admin" Then DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, "NavigationPaneObject", True DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowUnhide Else Exit Sub End If
This is successfully unhiding the navigation pane, but I'm getting the following error message and I don't know how to get it to go away."Run-time error '2544':
"Microsoft Access cannot find the NavigationPaneObject you referenced in the Object Name argument."The code is unhiding the navigation pane.
We are encountering a problem that started with Access 2007 and continues in 2010 and 2013. We are using a network system.mdw file with mdb databases and the security seems to be working with one exception while running in Access 2007, 2010 and 2013 but runs fine in Access 2003. We have some power users who are allowed to create/modify objects. The power users and Admins have a unhide command button that displays the database window in Access 2003 and displays the Navigation pane in 2007-13. The problem is that when the Navigation pane is shown there are no objects displayed. These are not hidden or system objects and display in Access 2003 database window properly for the power users.
I use custom categories in the navigation pane to make finding the right objects easier (duh) but now I have quite a lot of custom categories and they are stuck in the order they were created in.
I would like to rearrange them into some logical order (maybe alphabetical, maybe custom) so i can find the categories quicker.
I would like to disable the Navigation Pane completely, based on the security level of the user that logs in, of course.
I have code that checks their level (I'm an "Admin" and everyone else is a "User"). If they are a user, then it hides the ribbon and minimizes the nav pane. If the login is mine, it enables everything.
That works, but the only problem is that the user can just maximize the Nav Pane on their own and access all the tables, and I don't want that. I can't find any code that completely disables the pane.
I have this code connected to my login button on my login form:
Code:
If Security = "User" Then DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType" DoCmd.Minimize Else DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarYes DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType" DoCmd.Maximize End If
I can go to the options menu and disable the nav pane completely, so I know since only I have access to the ribbon, I could always go in each time and recheck the display nav pane option on that menu. But, that could be a little bit of a pain having to do that each time.
Also, I know I could finish the design and convert the DB to an MDE, but since my DB isn't broken up into a front/back end, I have to access that same DB everyone else uses, and if any changes need to be made, I don't want to have to use my backup, transfer over the changes any user made to the records, and then reconvert it back to an MDE each time.
If it's possible, I'd like to do all this using VBA. If they aren't an ADMIN user, then disable everything for them, but if I login, enable everything for me.
I'm wondering if it is possible to create a module to hide the navigation pane and document tabs? I know this is possible via the Access Current Database options however I'd prefer this to be done via an Auto Exec that runs the sub. (i already have it for the ribbon)...
I have a data base that when first opened a login form I created pops up. I am trying to set it up so that when it opens you do not see the navigation pane. once logged in though I do want to have access to that again. I have found other VBA code online but nothing that lets me remove the navigation pane from that first form alone. I have it set so that the Ribbon is not shown when the form opens but does show once a user is logged in.
for the ribbon I used:
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
I thought I remembered a while ago reading a code like that for the navigation but not saving it because I did not think it would be needed (I am very new to Access) But now I cannot find it.
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 use Access 2007.I have a db split in FE(forms, queries, vbcode) & BE(tables only).I want users not to be able to view or explore the tables, the queries, the form design and details, in both Ends.Unfortunately, even disabling via VB code the menus, the db window, the tool & status bars, they appear and are accessible to the users (it only works in a non-split db, turned to an accde).
How can I disable any view on forms, queries, vbcode and tables details and data to users, in both FE and BE and only allow them to add data through specific form?
I'm building a web application that mimics the keyboard navigation of Microsoft Access.
What is the keyboard shortcut that will move the focus from the navigation pane on the left to the content area on the right? I can't figure out how to do this in MS Access without using the mouse.
i am running some code from vba to add a linked table and the do some lookups, then delete the linked tables.
When the linked table gets added, the navigation pane gets displayed. I have set it to do not display in the settings and it does not when it opens but when this code runs it opens and then stays open until the db is closed and reopened.
I am trying to use my db as a software and I really do not want this to show.
I have also noticed this in a database I have which has update queries and was fine in access 2000 but does what i described above when using in access 2010.
I have inherited forms, some of which somehow lock the Navigation Pane. For those that do I cannot find how the Nav Pane is locked. Is it a form property? If so which? "acCmdWindowHide" is not used in the program.
This issue prevents me from viewing form properties or Form VBA when such an open form is switched to the Design View.
In Office 365 and Access 2013, when I right click on the top of the Navigation Pane and choose the Navigation Options I get a screen with NO Categories and NO Groups. I see the "Add" buttons on the bottom but they are grayed out.
