Hiding Access Window With DoCmd.runCommand AcCmdAppMinimize
Mar 28, 2007Ok, I finally have it working the way I like. It's really slick - the main form (set to "PopUP" and with docmd.runcommand accmdappminimize line in the On_Open event) opens with customized icon (in titlebar and in windows taskbar) and behaves like a standalone program (you only see Access the first few seconds during opening before it's minimized).
The form can be minimized to windows taskbar and clicked to restore it (form's maximize button is disabled, for appearance sake). it can also be accessed via the alt-tab windows menu, where it also appears with a custom icon. so it's really slick, it behaves just like a standalone app. read on for the ", but..."
I also wrote 2 functions to handle reports.
1st (fnOpen, I also use it for forms, etc. via arguments, but only the reports have the following logic). This one closes my main form, maximizes Access (which has all menus/toolbars disabled, so it doesn't really look like Access, looks like a report viewer). This function is placed into all report buttons' On_Click event with report name as argument and object type (3 for report, because 0=table, 1=query, 2=form, 3=report in my fnOpen).
2nd. (fnCloseReport) is placed into all reports' On_Close event. This function opens my main form again on the tab from which report was called. It works, but herein lies the problem: after the form reopens, it no longer has the whole application's custom icon, but the Access "form" icon. And after this, if minimized to windows taskbar it actually minimizes as resized mini-window above the Start button (as has been described by others, just as it would within Access it it were visible) and Access appears minimized in the windows taskbar, so somehow the whole cool "standaloneness" is turned off.
I wonder if anyone has some suggestions for this. I spent some time researching and testing this and really like the functionality. When the form is displayed without Access, it cannot be right-clicked (at all), which is very useful (although I know there are other ways of protection).
BTW, all my other windows (all popup/modal) appear on top of the main form with no problems. I have "File Open" and "Save As" windows common dialogs that my app calls (via API) and I also have a custom form acting as dialog box (I use the acDialog intrinsic constant when I open it from code). so mutliple windows are not an issue as some have suggested.
Thanks in advance!
Access 2007 - Disabling Shift Key And Hiding DB Window
Jan 1, 2008Hi,
I have a couple of databases set up with shift key bypass and DB window hide and a couple of menu bar commands hidden (All code taken from this great forum :) ). Recently my company decided to upgrade Access 2000 to Access 2007 and they have given me a test environment and a time frame to convert / test all my applications.
I found this concept of ribbon and office links very different and shocking.
Is there a way of hidding somethings that you can do with the office links (like compact and repair) and a way of hiding some clusters in the ribbon (like export and import data, have a dtaasheet view of any form? etc) Any help or link along these lines would be helpful..
Thanks,
Priya
Close Form Button
Jul 27, 2005I have a form that is loaded through a hyperlink from another form. On this form I have placed a command button which closes the form (DoCmd.Close) I have also used the full syntax including form name and no save prompt. When i close this form using the command button I get a request for two paramter values that are used in queries in this form (I don't want this to happen) when I click the close button on the control box "X" this doesn't happen also it doesn't happen if I use file close. This problem only occurs on some of the slower machines in my workplace, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The is one combo box on the form in question which is set to run a macro after update, this macro requeries the 52 list boxes on the form.

I need to keep the form's "X" button enabled.. how would i go about doing this exactly.. can i keep what i currently have (in the cmdSave_click event) and in the form_close event i can maybe have if me.dirty then... call my cmdSave_click event?.. Else.. closeform. Is this the right way to go about it??.. if so.. will my formClose statement (in my cmdSave_click event) be alright?

Keeping A Form Maximised After Closing A Report
Aug 11, 2005Does anyone know why when you click on a command button that loads a report it shows it in a print preview mode and then when you click close it closes the report window and changes the form that you were originally on to a much smaller and condensed view instead of being maximised? All the properties are making the form to maximise except when you close from a print preview view. Cheers

View 5 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Login To Database - Close A Modal Popup Window
May 2, 2014I've tried to add some basic login (not really security) to my database so that when a different name is entered into the login box a different form is opened.
I got this working but the login form stays in foreground and I can't click anything behind it and can't get to the design view to change any properties of anything.
I've also changed this login form to the startup item so it always loads when i start the database.
Is there way to get back to the design view or do i have to start again from my backup?
