Help With Accessing Toolbars And Right-clicking
Dec 5, 2006
Hi all! Hope you can help me yet again!
My company recently completed a fairly large website for a local travel-agency. The website runs on a MsSQL and .net platform, but (It is a big but(t) by the way) a pricing calculation database is a old MS Access 2000 application.
The users of this DB have MSA2000 installed on their computers, and the database is made with one application DB and connected tables.
My problem is that I have to make some small changes to this DB, but when I start it up, the toolbars is hidden and right-clicking is disabled. (F11 works).
Is there a workaround this problem?

On my database, for startup, I had the toolbars taken away from the user. Is there a quick shortcut to pull them back up? I noticed that the 'Tools' option is gone.
Thanks.

I did something in the start up options with this database.
Now when I open it I can't get Access to function as normal.
There is no right click, no tool barr or menu.
Any ideas?

hello,
I have this filename.mdb file which was given to me for revision, so I opened it with MS access but once I opened it, the toolbars are disabled so I can't switch to form view, design view etc. How can I resolve this? I remember when I once did VBA Access that you can do this 'disable' thing. Only that I forgot it how now. So if anyone could please help me in this? I need to 'have those toolbars back' so I can start editing the file. Please do help me.
Thanks in advance

i must be overlooking something obvious, but....
how in the world do you put in the little gray separators in a custom toolbar? you know, to keep similar buttons in logical 'groups' on the toolbar...

Hi All,
A previous employee of the company I work for setup an access database, which works well. But he populated some drop down lists and didn't give us the option to add additional items to those lists.
He has also done something that when the database is opened the usual access menus and toolbars disappear.
I'm pretty sure that the lists are collected from a table in that database, but I can't view the tables either :(
I have managed to get the start form into design view and also to open the code builder, but I can't see anything in there.
If anyone can offer any help or suggestions on how to access the tables when it's been locked out, I'd be grateful.
Kind regards,
Rich

The below code will hide ALL menu bars and ALL tool bars. Ensure that you have a way to unhide the menu bars and tool bars before you hide them! You should place the hide all tool bars routine in your opening splash screen form for it only needs to be run once when the db is first opened.
This will hide all menu bars and tool bars
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = False
Next i
This will unhide all menu bars and tool bars
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = True
Next i
An added bonus is the right-click mouse button option is disabled if the menu bars are disabled with the above code.
Use the 'ShowToolbar' command if you need to display a tool bar or menu bar...
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "YourToolBarNameHere", acToolbarYes
This will hide a tool bar or menu bar when needed...
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "YourToolBarNameHere", acToolbarNo
This will hide the menu bar...
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo
You can also hide/unhide the database window with code...
Hide the database window
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
Unhide the database window
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
Remove the "Type a question for help" on the default menu bar in Access 2002 or 2003
Application.CommandBars.DisableAskAQuestionDropdow n = True
This command will prevent the db from opening up a separate window tab on the Taskbar
Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsinTaskbar", False
The above commands have been successfully tested with Access 97 and Access 2003.

I started access today and all my icons and menus are gone from the interface. I am forced to right click on all my queries and tables to perform any action. All I have at the top of my window is the usual "Microsoft Access" caption. Absolutely nothing else. Other than that, Access is fully functional provided I can use the right click commands. Has anyone encountered this? Help!

Hi,
The problem is when the users views a report there is no toolbar for them to print the report. The user can click on file print but they would prefer to see the icons on the toolbar.
I have set the startup to not show the toolbars I have also tried just to show each one individually with no joy.
How do I show the print preview toolbar. I do not want the user to be able to design the report I only want to allow them acccess to print the report or maybe export to word.
Any help I would be greatfull. Thanks PWF

Hello,
I've read most of the General category on Toolbars and Startup Menus, but still can't figure this out. I have no VIEW or TOOLS on my toolbar, so I can't get to the startup menu, toolbars, or anything else. When I go to Customize, one option is Built-in Menus. When I try to drag the VIEW or the TOOLS to the menu bar, it won't happen. I have tried the Shift trick, but it did not work either. Can someone help me?

There aren't too many threads on this subject folks. I am looking to understand this a bit more. From what I know, complete security of a database can only be accomplished by making an MDE file. But, the downside there is that MDE's cannot be edited by anyone, so any backups or changes that need to made must be done with an MDB.So, what I want to know is, if I want complete security of a database (as in, no changes allowed to be made, except by me), my only option is to make an MDE file and then transfer all the data back and forth between that and an MDB file whenever I need to make any design changes.Am I right?Thanks!

I have my database set with pop-up forms, but I need to allow users the ability to right click on forms and view options I have set in a custom menu bar. For some reason I can't get right-clicking to work on these types of forms. Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this or if there is some sort of code I could use to do this?

Hi there,
I have a form that has several tabs and in one of the tabs, the subform is very long. When I click from tab to tab, the main form scrolls down and the list of tabs disappears. So, when I am done with entering the subform, I have to scroll up the page to see the tabs in order to click on the next tab. I am hoping if someone has an idea how to stop the main form from scroll down each time I click on a tab.

Hi all, I have a query to recall all the events related to a certain employee by running a query and inserting the staff number, I then have a form showing the details of all employees; what I need is to add a button on the form that runs the mentioned query without having to insert the staff number again as the form is already showing that employee.
Thanks

i posted about this the other day, thought i sorted it and now it keeps coming back to haunt me
i have an append query in my database it is based on 3 other queries
when the query is run using vb
DBEngine(0)(0).Execute "QRY_ImportDuplicatesTopLevel", dbFailOnError
or by putting its sql into a string and executing using CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSQL
i get an error message saying too few paramters - expected one
i'm fairly used to these messages which mean that in the query is a non existent or misspelt field and i find them by running the query in the query viewer and letting access highlight the missing / misspelt field
the weird part is that when i run this query as a stored object by clicking on its icon i get no error and the query does the job it is supposed to do
does anyonw have any idea why this situation could occur?
