How Can You Disable The Close (X) Button On The Database Window?
Dec 6, 2006
Hi Guys,
I have a database that uses a switchboard with a close button that runs several instructions before it exits. The problem is that some users have access to the database window and I need to prevent them from closing the database by hitting the X in the upper right.
I'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?
Is there a way to use a command button to display the database window. I changed the Startup to not show the database window and want to be able to show it using a command button. I would appreciate any help.
Everytime i want to make some changes to my "Testing" Database , always got somebody using it / opening it...
I am trying to create a button , the function of the button is close "Testing" access database who using it or opening it , Example : 5 users included me in a company , when I click a button , 4 of them will received a notification with close "Testing" database message , can do that ?
I was hoping someone knows how to disable the ability for users to gain access to the properties window.
When viewing a form (or any object), one can usually right click, click on the corner of the form, or a few other actions and gain access to the properties option. If selected, the properties window is displayed with all the object's properties.
Is there a way to NOT allow the users to select this option? i.e. to disable this option from the menu list?
I have a Access database that is used as the user interface for general users but the data is stored in SQL. My client has asked that general users be able to see only selected fields in the table. This means that they must only use the form to view records and not be able to get to the table.
How do I disable the the Window Unhide in the MDE?
I figured out to maximize a window when a report is opened, but now I want to restore the window sizes when this report is closed.
I think I kind of know what to do with the DoCmd.Restore and something about OnClose, but I'm lost in the syntax. If someone could help me out by giving me the syntax and where to put this code that would be fantastic :)

Creating a database for processing survey data into a report format. We receive these reports as paper copies, which are then scanned in using Remark Office OMR. This results in a table of data, which is intended to be appended to the existing table in the database using Save As --> Access 2007, selecting the database and target table, clicking save as, and then selecting 'Append' from the subsequent popup.
What I want to know is: Is it possible to disable/otherwise prevent the 'Overwrite' option in this window from being selected? Can I make the table or database in such a way that data can only be added, not edited or deleted?
I use Access 2007.I have a db split in FE(forms, queries, vbcode) & BE(tables only).I want users not to be able to view or explore the tables, the queries, the form design and details, in both Ends.Unfortunately, even disabling via VB code the menus, the db window, the tool & status bars, they appear and are accessible to the users (it only works in a non-split db, turned to an accde).
How can I disable any view on forms, queries, vbcode and tables details and data to users, in both FE and BE and only allow them to add data through specific form?

The database that I currently work with has the option chosen to compact and repair on close so that if I am not present when there is trouble the users can close the db and the problem is usually corrected. I currently have a close button on the Main switchboard that closes the db. Is there a way to make a button or another way that will close the db that will by pass the compact and repair choice? I know that I can use task manager, but that usually creates db1, db2 and so on. Thanks,
I 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 am building a database to track employees. I have a form to input the personal information and want to close this form and open a new form to input the employee's training information. I have a cmd button to open the Training form for the individual, however I can not make it close the employee input form.
i am abit confused.. i have a save button on my form.. this is where field validation occurs and where the closeForm statement is (at the end). 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?
If (Me.cboStatus.Value = "Approved" Or Me.cboStatus.Value = "Approved as Noted" Or IsNull(Me.cboStatus) Or Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > Me.CurrentRecord) Then Me.cmdNew.Enabled = False Else Me.cmdNew.Enabled = True End If
End Sub
The navigation buttons work flawlessly but the cmdNew button still is enabled when it shouldn't be. THe idea is that is will be disabled if:
-current record is not the last record -cbostatus is blank(null) -cbostatus is "approved" -cbostatus is "approved as noted"
The only code that seems to work is the "me.recordsetclone.recordcount > Me.currentrecord" .
Am I going about this the wrong way? How can I check what is in the cbostatus box and have the cmdnew button enabled/disabled based on its value.
