Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

Thanks!
Hi all, I have been given a database from a small business who just want some menial report editing. Their problem is the supplier of this simple access database has disappeared and in over a year of reporting the problem has not resolved it.
The database is locked interface-wise, i.er. if you load you cannot access tables, queries, reports etc. I was wanting to know how you do this. If the database is passworded I have a revealer, but actually getting to the edit area seems to be the problem at the moment.
Thanks for any help you can give
The below code will hide ALL menu bars and ALL tool bars. Ensure that you have a way to unhide the menu bars and tool bars before you hide them! You should place the hide all tool bars routine in your opening splash screen form for it only needs to be run once when the db is first opened.
This will hide all menu bars and tool bars
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = False
Next i
This will unhide all menu bars and tool bars
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = True
Next i
An added bonus is the right-click mouse button option is disabled if the menu bars are disabled with the above code.
Use the 'ShowToolbar' command if you need to display a tool bar or menu bar...
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "YourToolBarNameHere", acToolbarYes
This will hide a tool bar or menu bar when needed...
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "YourToolBarNameHere", acToolbarNo
This will hide the menu bar...
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo
You can also hide/unhide the database window with code...
Hide the database window
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
Unhide the database window
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
Remove the "Type a question for help" on the default menu bar in Access 2002 or 2003
Application.CommandBars.DisableAskAQuestionDropdow n = True
This command will prevent the db from opening up a separate window tab on the Taskbar
Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsinTaskbar", False
The above commands have been successfully tested with Access 97 and Access 2003.

I am using Access 2010 and trying to hide the background access window, so that only my forms are visible to the end users.
After researching, I found these VBA codes, but I always get an error. I have changed all my forms & reports to Pop-up and Modal. This is the code that I use on OnLoad of the Main (first form):
Private Sub Form_Load()
Const SW_HIDE = 0
Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
Const SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2
Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3
[Code] ....
When I open my the database- the mian window is still there and I get an error
"The espression On Load you entered as the even property setting produced the following error: Only comments may appear after End Sub, End Function or End Property.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Even Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluating the function, event or macro.
Do I have to change any thing in File-> Options?
All,
I've been using Dev Avish's excellent code shown within the sample database section to hide access windows. I've taken his call fsetAccessWindow function and set it to 1 or normal in two separate databases. Both databases seem to work slightly differently. The idea is that opening the database produces one Visible instance of access on the taskbar which is the purple standard graphic (Access 2000 / Windows 2000). With the first database I have set up reports through the active x control as required when using dev's code and even when I hit the report button the user is only aware of one visible instance of access as the purple colour graphic.
I am trying to implement the same code in a second database and have copied the code from the previous database into this database. It works great for the forms however there is a slight glitch when report forms are accessed. Rather than remaining with the purple access part on the task bar the task bar section is split into two between the form and the report. In the previous database users would not notice that the report had been opened at all. (although technically it was still running in the backrground)
I have checked most of the properties between the two database forms and they would appear to be the same..
Has anyone got any ideas why the taskbar is behaving differently between these two databases there must be some difference between my set up but as yet cannot find it??
Thanks Mark
I recall using a database (created by someone else that I don't have contact with) whereby, when you open it, the user-end form opens up on your Windows desktop, but the usual MS Access window is minised/hidden.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWell, I made the move and am using Access 2010 now and I am running into a couple issues.
First off, I want to get rid of this menu on startup:
Not sure what it's called (ribbon, menu bar, etc). I am able to hide it using
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
...in the OnLoad event, but this only works when running the opening form from the form list. When the form runs at startup the menus do not hide.
Also I would still like to have the file menu available because sometimes the user need to access the print menu to choose an alternate printer.
I am posting a report to the web, in a pdf format. the issue is I have data that is hidden under conditional formating in which if it meet the criteria the font is white and background white. This is great since it shows up blank on pdf. However if a slick person takes the pdf highlights the page and transfers it to a word document, he can highlight that area change the font to black and see the data. Is there a way to hide the data prior to creating a pdf.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi.
I was just wondering if you can hide a form in the windows status bar?
How can I remove all the bars specially the menu bar:
File, Edit, View, Insert,...
Goal - Show how many policies (dbo_Policy22.Policy.Number) were cancelled during a certain time period (Invoice Date).
Problem - a policy can be cancelled more than once and I don't want to count it after the initial cancel status (885).
Question - Below is my query. I'm thinking I type "Distinct" somewhere, but I have no idea where.
Please help :) Thank you.
SELECT dbo_Producer22.Number, dbo_Producer22.Name, dbo_Invoice22.Invoice_Date, dbo_Policy22.POLICY_STATUS, dbo_Policy22.Policy_Number
FROM dbo_Producer22 INNER JOIN ((dbo_Insured22 INNER JOIN dbo_Invoice22 ON dbo_Insured22.Insured_Key = dbo_Invoice22.Insured_Key) INNER JOIN dbo_Policy22 ON dbo_Insured22.Insured_Key = dbo_Policy22.Insured_Key) ON dbo_Producer22.Producer_Key = dbo_Policy22.Producer_Key
GROUP BY dbo_Producer22.Number, dbo_Producer22.Name, dbo_Invoice22.Invoice_Date, dbo_Policy22.POLICY_STATUS, dbo_Policy22.Policy_Number
HAVING (((dbo_Invoice22.Invoice_Date) Between [Forms]![PfrmYearToDate]![txtStartDate] And [Forms]![PfrmYearToDate]![txtEndDate]) AND ((dbo_Policy22.POLICY_STATUS)=885));
I was wondering if there is a way to hide 1 record from a query
say I have 3 user accounts and on a form I only want to display 2 of them form the query,so the other record is still present but cant be deleted by accident or viewed
I have a form with various fields, two of these fields are "Date Purchased" and "Lease End Date". When there is no value entered originally, I have made a default value of 12/30/9999.
The problem is that when you open the form and these two fields are next to each other, the user says it confuses them seeing a date even though it is a dummy date.
Is there a way for me to create a expression that will be something like:
IIf(DateField = 12/30/9999, Me.Datefield.Visible = False, Me.Datefield.Visible = True)
or VBA
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
If Me.DateField.Value = "12/30/9999" Then
Me.DateField.Visible = False
Else
Me.DateField.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
If have tried both ways and neither works.
Is it possible to just hide a record? My form is based on a query so I know I could remove the record that way but I also have a box that calculates a average time, so the data that is produced by that record still needs to be taken into account. I want to hide some records pureley so the user dosent have to keep scrolling thriugh loads of records. Is it possible to do this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a continuous form "components" where the data is added by a query. There is no need to manually add records to the form, I just want to edit certain fields.
Is it possible to hide/disable the blank "new record" row at the bottom of the form?
