General :: Create Addin That Adds A Tab To Ribbon?
Sep 24, 2012
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 use the following xml to create a ribbon for Sort and Filter
Code:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"> <ribbon startFromScratch="true"> <tabs> <tab idMso="TabCreate" visible="false" /> <tab id="dbSearchtab" label="Sort and Filter" visible="true"> <group id="SearchScreenSort" label="Sort and Filter">
[code]....
The first problem is that this ribbon appears in forms where it is not included.The second problem is that in addition to the "File and Filter" tab, there appears a "File" tab Whe you click on it is goes backstage allowing you to Print and Exit.
I've created a custom ribbon and it works great however I want to create a separate ribbon and attach it to the report. On this particular ribbon, I'd like the export to excel, export to word and print functions to appear ONLY for reports. Not all reports will need to be exported; it depends what the user does. I've created this XML and I'm not receiving any error message. It loads as expected but my group is blank/empty. Still confused.
client# 101-108 and down the row you would have number or total of wins point like
client 101 has 10 points client 102 has 10 points client 103 has 10 points client 104 has 50 points client 105 has 50 points client 106 has 20 points client 107 has 20 points client 108 has 100 points
so in the total you would have 270 point for all client who played
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 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 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
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 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.
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?
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 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.
I created a database and I manage to split it into front end and backend. now I'm going to make an EXE of the front end.My question is when I open the front end, I need the database to be empty, and them create a button that will make the user select which project he wants to open (backend).I also need to create a button that will create a new empty backend and save it as a new project.
I have a tab control with three tabs on it. Suppose I want the user to click a command button to add another tab and then add data to the fields within the tab. How would I go about doing this? Many thanks.
I have an access 2003 database that shows when customer concerns were reported and when thay were resolved. I have a query that calculates how many days it took for each concern to be resolved. I used the query to make a report that shows all concerns which took more than 14 days to be resolved. I want to show these concerns in a chart but it is adding up all the days for each month. For example, if there was one concern in December which took 15 days to be resolved and another concern which took 20 days to be resolved the graph shows this as one concern which took 35 days to resolved. I need to show a bar for each concern seperately instead of showing one bar of alll the concerns for one month. Does anybody know why this is happenning?
I have the following code which is supposed to insert a new record into TBLLetterHistory when a report is printed. The report is based on a Query which selects the records based on their postcode.
What actually happens is that only the first record in the query is inserted into the History Table. Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved as I have no idea, even after long searches in this forum!!
Private Sub Report_Activate() Flag = 0 End Sub
Private Sub Report_Deactivate() Flat = -1 End Sub
Private Sub ReportFooter_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer) Dim dbs As DAO.Database, rst As DAO.Recordset Set dbs = CurrentDb() Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("TBLLetterHistory")
Flag = Flag + 1 ' If the current value of Flag = 1, then a hard copy of the ' report is printing, so add a new record to the history table. If Flag = 1 Then rst.AddNew rst!ReportName = "RPTLetterByPostcode" rst!Date = Now rst!LeadID = [QRYLetterByPostcode.LeadID] rst.Update rst.MoveNext ' Flag = 0
I want to create a button that adds as many records to a table as you want. So I would have - a text field where the user would input the number of records - the code of the button having a for loop or while statement to add that many records as the user typed in
This is my code of a button that adds one record at a time. My VB is not good so could someone tell me how to put in a for loop or while statement that would do the trick? Thanks.
Private Sub addbutton_Click()
If IsNull(Combo0) Then MsgBox "Please select an Oil to add data (Top left corner)" Else Me![Property Subform].Form.AllowAdditions = True Forms![Values Form]![Property Subform].SetFocus
I already have a form where you specific the date and the store I've purchased something at. I want to be able to add several products I've purchased to a table and define their price, using the same form, so I don't have to input the date and store type for each purchased product.
So, when the form updates the table, it will create a new record for each product, using the product description and price - defined for each product - and using the date and store - defined once - as elements of the record. Is there a way of doing this?
I'm quite familiar with creating tables, forms and queries with the design wizard - not so familiar with using scripts, but I've had a small amount of experience with manipulating databases using MySQL, so I'm willing to learn anything that may be necessary to achieve what I need.
I have a subform that stays in data sheet view for entry, the form this sits on is launched by a macro. This macro on the main form launches the form and adds in the linking numbers by a setvalue. The main form has the linked number on it and this number is then linked by master and child to the subform. The problem comes in when you start adding in data. The line of data is filled by using combo boxes and some text fields and ends with a time/date stamp Now(). The problem is, even if you dont fill the entire line if a user refreshes or closes the form it adds a blank entry with the linking number but all fields blank.
Code: "UPDATE Individuals SET [ShareholderOf] = " & Me.CompanyNo & " WHERE [Name] = '" & PerName & "';"
However, doing so will obviously change the "Shareholder of" field into what the user inputs (Me.CompanyNo). What should I use if I want it to ADD the user input rather than REPLACING the old [shareholderof] value?
- I have a module which runs queries on linked sales spreadsheets, to merge them in to one Access table. - To prevent duplication of sales, the primary key merges the sales record and item number fields.
Today, it's found 103 key duplication errors, which is fine. But it's still adding data to the table. The data seems to be fields which aren't even mentioned in the query. It only does this when the query is ran from VBA.
I have a make table query that gets its info from another table that is updated weekly. I would like that when we run the Query Type (Make Table), we would like to add a primary key to a field that exists already starting at 1 every time the query is run.
