Im using this piece of code to hide the switchboard while a login form appears on startup. The Switchboard still appears maximized in the background. I dont know that is happening when I have asked for the form to be hidden.
'// function to shape form to bitmap
fInitFormShape Me, "AirLock.bmp", RGB(255, 0, 255)
'// show system user name
Me.txtLogInName = fSystemUserName
'// show system pc name/id
Me.txtPCName = fComputerName
Me![txtPassword].SetFocus
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
'The switchboard form is opened but hidden in the open event of the login form.
Hello can anyone help me with a code or application example of how to hide all db elements. I have a database and i want only a main form to appear for users and tables, code, etc to be hidden.
I want to prevent people accessing the control boxes on a 'satalite' mdb. I have hidden the control at the top through the start up options, but havent prevented the special keys as I occassionally need to get in this database for error fixing and such like. I want to know if I can put a password on this function, so that if they know it and try it it asks for a password before opening the control windows/table pages etc.
does anyone know if this is poss and if so how too ???
Hi. I manage to create Users and permissions with no big problem. But before do that, i thought that when i created those permissions some of the users which they will work for, they will not have even a view of TABLES QUERIES FORMS e.t.c How i can hide that from them? I did that by Properties and set the option button to Hidden, but imagine if you have 50 to do that. Then if i go back to do some modifications then is necessary to unhide in order to check. Is another easiest way of prohibiting users to view. Thank you.
I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.
I am looking for a way to link a help file to a button on the switchboard. I have several pages that all work well and open up the required forms and reports but I would like to add a help file to a button. Any idea would be appreciated thanks Williebear.
I am new to MS Access. I've created a database and now i want to add a switchboard to launch whenever i open the database file. i created the switchboard form and table following the access help. but i can only view the switchboard when i manually open the switchboard form. can anyone tell me how to make the swithboard launch automatically? i'm using access 2003
I have a main switchboard, with a few Open Form command buttons on it, but what i would like to have is another button to bring the user to another switchboard screen giving the option to open a few Reports (obviosly the button on teh main switch board would read "Report Section), can this done, and also how would i go about putting Back or forward buttons withing the second (report Section) screen so the user can nav. to back to the main screen?
I have created a new switchboard but don't know where it is. When I create it using the Switchboard Manager and then click close, it doesn't appear under any of the options. I have also set is as default but it fails to appear on startup.
I have limited experience in Access but have a bit more understanding of databases and tables. I am helping a friend create and access database to track the time his employees spend on different job sites. i am using a template from Microsoft called "Time and Billing" I am going to be manipulating the structure a bit but other than that the template should work fine.
My main struggle is I need to have a screen that the employees access that takes them straight to add / edit a time sheet. i want the rest of the data, reports, views to be password protected. Ideally the switchboard would load up to a page that had a button from employees to click on where they would be taken to the form and a button the owner could click on, enter a password, and be taken into the back-end where the main switch board and the rest of the data resides.
If anyone can help me out that would be great. Oh yeah, The Access database in is Access 2000 being used on a machine running XP Pro.
Ok, so I will sound like the dumbest person but essentially what is a switch board?
I have searched this place I have searched google but no luck, all I get is that its a menu to navigate, so basically a form with buttons that open frm's qry's etc... I have made a main menu with a basic form so whats so special about a switchboard.
When I make a switchboard is there any way you can go to a table? or can you just go to a form or query? and when you make a switchboard and you have a button going to the form how can you go from the form back to the switchboard?
I've made switchboard. and change the properties of switchboard, namely the "don't show the menu bar". can anyone please explain to me, how to get it back?
in opposite case, I can kiss my db goodbye, for i can't make any changes into switchboard? or??
I think this is a simple request for those who know.
I want to display my switchboard to a user group, (read and update ).
The switchboard needs to be full screen and have no means of being minimsed or close, except by the exit button (obviously) on the switchboard.I also do not want to show any of the tool bar icons as well.
I want to retain it as it is now to me as 'admin' when I log in, that is with the ability to minimise and close etc.and all icons
I would like to know if there's a way of adding a switchboard page that goes to a table instead of only forms and reports and such? Because I have subdatasheets that I would like to see when I click on a button from the switchboard, instead of just simply going to a form and not being able to work as easy as it would be to work with a table that displays the subdatasheet right there.
I have copies of a split database (front end) placed on each employee’s computer, and I noticed my switchboard screen does not appear when the employee opens the database on their computer. I went through a lot of work designing the switchboard and would like to have it appear upon opening the DB. I know everything in the database is linked so there is no reason the switchboard should not appear. Any suggestions on how to make this happen?
In addition, I have pictures on the switchboard buttons, and I also noticed when I go to the second screen, the buttons on the second switchboard screen uses the same pictures as the default screen. Is there a way to not have it do that?
