Below are my codes to display bitmaps in a MS Access form by just inserting the path to the image.
[Code].....
The output is attached in the jpeg file. However, as u can see from the jpeg, when i move from 1 record to another, the importing picture from "path name" keeps appearing when loading and disappears after the record is loaded.. How can i prevent tat window from appearing?
Think I've seen this posted on here recently but cant find it.
Is there a way to hide the database window so that only a form is visible?
Then if you need to view the database window you can press F11 to make it appear?
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

I successfully made this work, but when opening a report to preview it (using a button click) . it doesn't show up, is there a workaround with this? Thanks in advance.
Kind Reagrds.

Ok, 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!
Hi,
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
Hi,
Anyone know in microsoft access 97 is it possible to remove the close button (top right hand corner) when a form is maximised?
Thanks.
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
Hi,
I have a parent window which upon clicking on a button will pop-up a child window containing a listbox. The listbox recordsource is a subset of the parent window. I want the user to select a record from the listbox which will load the selected record onto the parent window.
How does one pass argument back from child window to parent window?
From parent window to child window, I used
docmd.openform ,,,,,,[argument] and me.openargs in the child window
thanks in advance.
My application is developed in Access 2003 version. Recently we moved from Access 2003 to Access 2010. Now users are facing usability issues like - in Access 2003 all the forms are opening in different windows and they can move to forms easily. But in Access 2010 all the Forms are opening in same window, if they want to move to different forms then they need to close the current window or press ctrl+F6. How can I enable/open forms multiple window in Access 2010.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the following piece of code for importing the .csv files from a selected folder and then renaming them into 'imported & filename' if succesful and 'failed & filename' if import failes for whatever reason (bad formating, etc.).
The problem is that the first time it encounters a 'bad' file after another, instead of going again to the Error handler, the command
Code:
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "Activitate", filename, True
gives me the default MS Access error, namely 2391. I would like it to go the the Error_handler again ang follow the course of actions and rename the files into 'failed' and 'imported'.
Here's the code:
Sub ImportActivitate()
Dim strFile As String 'Filename's
Dim strFileList() As String ' File Array
Dim intFile As Integer 'Number of files
Dim filename As String, sFullName As String, sFilename As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False

Hi can you help. I am developing an access database for an alarm installation company. The database will consist of five tables (stock, supplier, customer, stocksupplier) all with forms.
The customer table holds data for three customer types business, private, caravan. Each customer type has different data stored for it for example the business customer has more than one contact address whereas the private has one.
The problems is on the form I do not want all the fields present as this would look a mess. Is there a way of clicking a radio button or choosing from a drop down list that would make the fields relevant to that customer type appear or grey out the fields that are not needed.
I would appreciate any help as the only alternative I can come up with is have them all on one form. I do not want separate tables as this would complicate the design. I hope this makes sense and thank you in anticipation
Kind Regards :) :)

I have a database where people are entering data into in constantly. Now I was told that someone else needs to go into the database and check integrity of data entered. There are a few buttons that I don’t want a “data verifiers” to click on, but “data entry folks” should be able to. Is there any way to may be password protect certain buttons and only be visible if a password is typed or something like that? I know how to password protect a form, but that’s not really exactly what I need and want to do. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Having trouble getting the code right to hide and unhide forms.
I have a main menu from which users can open other forms. When another form is opened, I want the Main Menu to be hidden, so it doesn't appear in the task bar.
For example, from the Main Menu
Me.Visible = False
DoCmd.OpenForm "Review frm", acNormal
However, from Review frm, I can't get the Main Menu to be visible again. I've tried
Forms!Main_Menu.Visible = True
but it says it doesn't exist. (Note the name of the form, Main Menu, has spaces, which is why it has the underscore between the two words. Don't know if this is relevant or not.)
Could someone tell me what's wrong with the code?
Thank you.
