Hi..
I got a access file from a friend of mine, but when i open it in access, i don't see any tables or the standard menu buttons.
The only menu i see, is a docked menu with a couple of submenus, wich in turn open forms, where you can enter data..
How can i see the tables and bva script behind this access file?
I tried F11 and Alt-F11, but is does nothing.
He won't tell me how he did it, because he doesnt like to share what he knows...
Can anyone help me??
Thanx !
I am trying to Hide or Show the Access Window by using two buttons on a Form. Running Access 2013 in Windows 7 64bit.
I have used code from the Internet as below but added the PtrSafe item to the Function Declaration as below:-
Option Compare Database
'Hide Access desktop screen and float Forms on pc desktop
Private Declare PtrSafe Function IsWindowVisible Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Dim dwReturn As Long
Const SW_HIDE = 0
[Code] ....
I then have two buttons on a form coded as below:-
Option Compare Database
Private Sub cmd_Hide_dbw_Click()
Call fSetAccessWindow("Minimize", False, False)
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Test", acNormal
End Sub
[Code] .....
I have attached a Test Database which demonstrates the problem I am experiencing.
Do the following sequence...............
Open the Test Database. DO NOT ENABLE CONTENT
The Access 'Ribbon'Test_Database.accdb is active and usable
Open frm_Test in Design View in order to inspect, all should be as shown above.
Now click the Enable Content warning
Switch frm_Test to Form View
Click button Hide dbw. Closes the Access Window
Click button Show dbw. Opens the Access Window...HOWEVER....
Attachment 20252The Access Ribbon is locked and usable !!!
I cannot find a way to re-activate the Ribbon
Before I start on this seemingly endless journey of learning Access 2003, I thought it appropriate to ask the question;
Will this program do what I need it to do?
I apologise in advance if this is not the right place to ask the question, I am a complete beginner to Access 2003.
I want to make an electronic log book for the guys at work, there are 5 people of different trades who would need to keep the log.
A typical entry would be as follows
Mon 22/3/06 Alan Smith B Shift
Compressor house (heading)
No 1 compressor (plant)
Oil pump (component)
Filter cleaned (action taken)
Personel (heading)
John Jones (personel)
Phoned in sick at 15:00hrs, will phone tomorrow to update
Boiler house (heading)
No 4 boiler (plant)
Water vlave leak (problem)
Tightened gland (action taken)
There are many headings, probably hundreds of plant, thousands of components and actions taken
We would need to view events to particular plant or areas between certain dates, some personel would need to enter data, some would only view the data without being able to enter it, few would need to alter the data.
Is Access 2003 capable of this, should I start the journey?

Hello all!
Please forgive me for being a COMPLETE novice at Access, but I am trying!
What I need to do, is have an ordered list, which has check boxes along side each item.
When the relevant items have been checked, I need to be able to save or export to CSV, with ONLY the items which have been checked!!
I need the list to be pulled from a seperate source (like an excel spreadsheet) so that it can be updated easily...
Can anyone help?
so...
Item 1 [X]
Item 2 [ ]
Item 3 [ ]
Item 4 [X]
Item 5 [ ]
Item 6 [X]
would produce a CSV file:
Item 1, Item 4, Item 6,
Simple enough?
Greetings:
I am looking for a program that will repair a MsAccess 2000 .mdb file. So far all I have been able to find is those that repair the tables, does anyone know of a program that will repair the entire file including the forms?
Thanks

I believed that Access is a stable DB program. It looks like I may have to change this view. Yesterday, due to some fault in power supply (SMPS), my PC suddenly went off while I was working in my Access DB. My DB is a personal DB (single user). Today, after replacing the SMPS, when I opened my DB, Access gave a message that my DB is corrupted while it was being used last time. It asked to attempt repair with Yes/No button. I clicked the Yes button and it did nothing. In my third attempt, I was able to open my DB but I am worried whether it will work as before. Could the experts in this forum throw some light about Access DB' stability and measures to prevent corruption? Grateful for advice.

I'm trying to hide access(i.e. toolbars etc.), and only view a form. Is this possible?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHere's another one on this subject... But can't seem to find the answer in the "Search" Currently I am using the "Call fSetAccessWindow(0)" method.... Well, all works fine until I start getting into reports. I have read in some post of other methods to hide Access. But I have yet to find any examples of the "easier way"..... Can anyone direct me to a post or link??
Thanks

Can anyone suggest a good program that will handle scheduled emails to people in our Access database? I need to send an email automatically to each of our employees on their birthday. I need the program for much more than that but that is what I am working on at this time.
Thank you!

I have noticed diagrams showing Microsoft SQL Server accepting SQL statements sent by “SQL Requesters” over connections. I would like to know if Microsoft Access can be used in that fashion?
Put another way, can Access be configured to accept an SQL statement that another program (e.g. a VBA program in a VBA enabled 3rd party app) creates?
Currently, my VBA program instantiates an Access database object and then manipulates it (I just add a record to one of the tables), then closes and destroys it. This solution seems fragile (it stops working—I can explain more if needed). I would like to know if the technique inferred by my question would be more reliable.
We are having a problem with mulitple users leaving an Access db open and then I am not able to make new reports, etc. without calling everyone to close their session.
Is there a way to automatically close a db if user has not used in certain amount of time?
Thanks, Noreene
I have a VBA program that I wrote in access. My question is this: Is there anyway to eliminate or minimize the main Microsoft Access program window so all the user would see is my forms and the desktop? Not that ugly gray back drop? Thank you in advance for your help.

I have seen advertised a number of programs whose developers claim the program will document an application for you.
They're relatively expensive - several hundred $ as I recall. But if they work, it could save many days of headaches.
I was wondering if anyone had used them, if you'd recommend them etc.
hi to all,
does anyone know the code to close the access program.
That is when i select the close button on the switchboard, the whole of MS access is closed.
Thank
How do you use a button on a form to call another access program? We have 8 access programs that we want to be able to call from one form.
Thanks
Hi guys, i read about this before but it did not work.
i am trying to hide the access environment but i couldnt.
i read in this forum that if i have a bmp with then same name than the db, the picture would replace the access environment. I have done this but the only thing that i achieved was to see the picter before access env. comes and then it desapears and the access env. shows up.
any suggestion?
thx max
Back in 2004 a user (sbaxter) on this forum was offering to interrested members his utility for hiding Access window. Does anyone still have a copy of this utility handy that is willing to share? Thanks in advance. See reference post

Hi,
Ok i am using the following code to hide the access window but when i do it, it also hides it from the taskbar aswell.
Is there any modifications to the code that will hide the background window but also keep it on the taskbar.

I developed a program. Would you please teach me how to run it automatically when the computer restarted, through the startup.
Plus this I want to let this program run through the system tray, and not shown in the the Taskbar, if this feature is provided by MS Access 2003
Thankful...
Hi Everyone:
I am new to this forum as I recently started working in MS Access. I’m hoping someone can please help me with this query I’m trying to do using MS Access 2007.
This task is somewhat similar to a typical points/miles rewards credit card program.
The problem is as follow:
For every $2,000 of accrued purchases in a credit card, an individual will get a gift card.
So, any remaining balances over $2,000 will rollover and be added to next set of transactions, until it reaches $2,000 again. For instance, if on the first week I spent $2,500, I would qualify for my first gift card. The excess $500 would rollover and be added to the next set of transactions until they reach $2,000 again. Therefore, this would qualify me for another gift card.
So far, I’ve created two tables, one that stores accrued purchases (Promo History) and another table based on an Append Query which takes all qualified transactions from the first table and appends those records to the second table (Promo History Qualified) in order to track those qualified transactions over $2,000.
However, I’m stuck on how I would accommodate the remaining balances to be carried over. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance,
marel
I have a fully operational Visual Basic program that uses MS Office XP and it's related MS Access. Because of security concerns, I recently upgraded to MS Office 2007 and MS Access 2007. I can open MS Access 2007 using the shortcut on the desktop and run any of the database queries. When I try to run the Visual Basic program (called prjPathfinder) and open Access 2007, it says "Error 5: The type initializer for prjPathfinder.Upgrade Support threw an exception". It then shows the first form in prjPathfinder but does not open Access 2007. What am I missing?

Hi.
I have a widely used application in Access 97.
Anyway, some staff are not using the forms' menu buttons but are playing around with the Access toolbar (file, edit, et cetera).
The administrator wants me to either disable that toolbar or hid eit from view. Any ideas?
