I run a Switchboard and everthing works well. However, the "Database Object Screen" remains in view. This is not a good thing, as unintended events may ensue by unwanted guests. How can I stop this screen from appearing and having only the Desired Switchboard displayed? It's probably an option somewhere, but I cannot find it. Please help.
I would like to put a message on the screen for informing the user - mostly during some procedures that might take time or when, after a warning, I want to go on with the program but without action from the user.
Msgbox is obviously not the one I'm looking for as it needs customer acknowledge. Is there a solution for this task?
I have tried to make a login screen, I have also searched for information and tried some of the examples but, I just can't get one to work. Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).
Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode. I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.
Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.
When I attempt to create a new DB - by performing Blank Database I immediately get a message 'Object Library not registered'.
If I 'OK' that box and try to create a table, I can do so - create Table in design view.
When I then try to Import external data - an excel file I get the message 'ActiveX component Can't create object'.
I have looked ob various sites for help and forum information regarding these errors but have found nothing conclusive, with specidfic regard to Access 2003.
The version has been loaded on my machine about 1 year as part pf Office Professional but this is the first time I have attempted to run Access itself.
Does any forum member have any ideas as to how this problem could be resolved.
I am currently building a database for the company I work for that is fairly similar to the Northwind Database; however it is made from scratch so hopefully some of the common problems with that database won't find their way into mine.My problem is that when I go to my Orders form, I pick a customer from the main form, which creates a record on the Orders table. When I then go to the subform to choose a product/line item, I get the error in my title ("The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'OrdersT.") as soon as a product is chosen from the drop down list.
I have this splash screen, which welcomes all the users. It has an OK command button that exits the screen, and a checkbox that says "Do not show this screen again". I still do not have the code behind the checkbox. Thus I was wondering if there is a way where I could entirelly close or "get rid" of the splash screen until the user loggs in again. Because right now there is no code behind it, so everybody that checks it and click OK, leaves the screen. But they can still open it, if they select the "splash form".
I'm getting an error message (informational only):
The object doesn't contain the automation object 'ClientID.'You tried to run a visual basic procedure to set a property or method for an object. However, the component doesn't make the property or method available for Automation operations.
Check the components documentation for information on the properties and methods it makes available for automation operations. This happens when I start entering data in the field "productname" of a subform.
So I'm assuming something in the form or in the code of the form is referring to ClientID. but I've checked it, and there is nothing referring to it anymore. Well, at least as far as I'm aware of.
This afternoon access crashed without any error, it just closed. Upon reopening the DB again, all my work of the past one and a half week was gone. Normally I always backup the data, but these past days I didn't due to christmas and still working a lot too. So I forgot.
I did some redesigning in the process this evening, deleting and adding some fields and code.
I can't get rid of this error. Can anyone help? Or point me in the right direction?
Also the DB is 3.5MB in size. While it is completely empty. And I can't imagine that some empty tables, queries, forms and a bit of code can be so much. But that's for a later time to worry about I guess, unless one of you says: this and that, maybe that works... Otherwise, I would really be very glad already if the error disappears....
I am creating an form in a database and whenever one of my procedure's run it creates this error message:
The expression ON Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Member already exists in an object module from which this object module derives.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [event Procedure]. *There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.
Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to use a splash screen in the middle of your program? Ex. Can I have a splash screeen to display at the beginning of my database and then have another splash screen open during my program. If i click on a command button to display a form, cause I have a splash screen appear before that form load? Is till possible while using Data Access Pages as well? thanks in advance
Hi, i want to add security into my database, but i dont want to use the built-in workgroup security.
Is it possible to create a login screen that will allow different access rights depending on the username? If so can sum1 please help me with the code?
here is the issue: operators are entering data but sometimes forget to put the part serial number. they then go to the entry.
this is what i want to do: the operator will not be able to go the next screen (complete the entry) unless they enter the part serial number. where and what should i enter that will prevent the issue?
How to I get the screen to show the top of the form? Solid lines and xs show what is shown on the screen.
This is used for bigger resolutions. I am modifying the layout of the forms depending on the screen resolution. Also what is the highest resolution anyone has seen an access database running at?
Auto resize and Auto Centre are both already set to no. Using access 2000. There are no scroll bars on the form.
I have a button on a form which closes the form and opens a different one. This causes the screen to "flash" as one is closed, the main menu becomes visible very briefly and then the new form opens.
In Microsoft Excel I used to use the VBA code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
to prevent this and only allow the final state to be displayed. I've tried this with Access and it doesn't seem to work.
I have a form that has a bar down the left side of my form that is right next to the navaigation bar. It has a arrow pointing toward the form. If I click on it nothing happens. Don't know what it is and would like to get rid of it if possible.
I've had a search and can't find anything along these lines...
I've got some code which plays about with reports and it looks awful when it's running - is there an equivalent of Excel's "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" functionality in Access (2000)?
Hi, I hope someone can help! I have purchased a programme that operates using MS Access. The software loads and functions perfectly on my desktop computer, when I put it onto my laptop, it loads but when I agree to the terms and conditions a switchboard should open but all I get is a grey blank screen with only file, window and help. I did have Nortons 2005 internet suite on it but I have removed that thinking it had something to do with that, restarted my computer removed and reloaded the software and the same happens. I think there is something wrong with the settings on the laptop or some form of script blocking. I am absolutesly exasperated. Please help with any suggestions as I know that the software is functioning and I know that Access is functioning and obviously Access thinks it is displaying everything or there would be an error box. Please help!!
I have learned how to create animated command buttons within a form. This works out great, but this brought on new ideas.
Currently, all I have is a stand alone picture (our logo) that is stored in the same directory as the db and to my knowledge this has nothing to do with access at all (other then it pulling the .bmp). I would like our Logo to be animated (simple rotating) during the Intro Splash screen.
