How To Always Keep Task Pane Open
Sep 26, 2005
Is there a way to always keep the task pane open? Right now when I open a file from the list on the task pane displayed under OPEN, the task pane disappears when the file opens. Then when I open the task pane again by clicking on the little white sheet of paper icon at upper left for "new", the task pane opens but the recent list of files used has collapsed and I have to click on the little house at top right to display the list of recently used files again so I can open one of them. Is there a way to keep both the task pane and the list of recently used files open at all times? Thanks.

Hi, im creating a new database system and want to give them a help facility in the form of a help task pane. Where they can access help from the table of contents, click on the item they want and the relevant help will appear.
Does anyone know how i can build this from scratch? :confused:

I am trying to get windows server 2012 task scheduler to open my access database. When the task runs all that I see happen is the locking file will appear on my desktop and I have to go to the task manager and kill it to make it stop. I tried a .bat file to open it as well and im still getting the same thing. If I just click on the database and open it manually it runs just fine.

I want to keep the navigation pane open for use by the users, but I want it locked so that the users can't click on the top menu and change the pane's display from All Access objects to any of the other choices.
LockNavigationPane set to Yes is not the solution as this only prevents people adding, deleting and moving objects (such as tables/querys/forms).

I'm building a web application that mimics the keyboard navigation of Microsoft Access.
What is the keyboard shortcut that will move the focus from the navigation pane on the left to the content area on the right? I can't figure out how to do this in MS Access without using the mouse.

How would I combine all these instances under one After Update Click:
Private Sub lstAgreementType_AfterUpdate()
If Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "BN" Or Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "BA" Or Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "BT" Then
Me.txtSenateAandCDate.Enabled = False
Else
Me.txtSenateAandCDate.Enabled = True
End If
Private Sub lstAgreementType_AfterUpdate()
If Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "BN" Or Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "BA" Or Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "BT" Then
Me.txtSentateTreatyDoc.Enabled = False
Else
Me.txtSentateTreatyDoc.Enabled = True
End If
Private Sub lstAgreementType_AfterUpdate()
If Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "BN" Or Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "MN" Then
Me.txtRatsExchanged Date.Enabled = False
Else
Me. txtRatsExchanged Date.Enabled = True
End If
Private Sub lstAgreementType_AfterUpdate()
If Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "BN" Or Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "BA" Or Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "BT" Or Me.lstAgreementType.Value = "MN" Then
Me.lstDepositary.Enabled = False
Else
Me.lstDepositary.Enabled = True
End If

There are a few procedures that run when my Access database closes (backing up data, etc.). Since this can take a minute or two to finish (running over a network), one of the users here has started to use Task Manager to shut down the application.
This is not ideal, as the same user has also deleted the backend on more than one occasion. Should both happen on one day, we'd lose that day's updates.
Asking them not to do it doesn't work. Explaining why doesn't work. Telling them not to do it doesn't work. If I ask their supervisor to tell them not to do it, they just deny it. It's starting to look like the backup scripts aren't running, when they work fine for everyone else.
Is there any way of either
(a) Preventing them from doing this (unlikely, I'd have thought)
or
(b) Recording the fact that this has happened.
It doesn't necessarily have to be recorded in Access itself - although that would be ideal - if there's some other file I can access to get the info?
Any suggestions are gratefully received.

As a continuation from this thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=98369)...
Currently, I have a list of programs, each program could be considered the "task". When the task is completed, I want the user to click the date on the calendar and have it grayed out. As I mentioned before I have this working correctly, but I have the calendar pulling up based on a query that relys on the program ID. No problem, that way each program has it's own calendar. Now I need to be able to have it pull up the current month if one exists, and if it does not exist create it. For instance it works fine now, but once we hit 1/1/06, it will still be the same calendar... I want it to create a new record, so I could theoretically look at the old calendar if need be.
I tried to tie my query to a month field as well, but to no avail.
Thanks for your help!

Hi All,
Does anyone one if it is possible to program a schedule for "Windows Scheduled Task" via VBA?
Reason:- A multi user application is set to give a 5 Min warning at the same time every day. After the 5min the users are politely kicked off.
At that time the Windows Scheduled task opens up the BE (only on 1 PC the fastest). The BE start form has a time event that backs up the BE and compacts and repairs itself then closes the application.
Not pretty I know but it works really well.
This shutdown time can be set/changed on the FE however, when it is the windows Scheduled Task has to also be changed which I would like to do automatically via VBA
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys,
I have moved all my small databases into 1 larger database to save up on Taskbar space, but the problem is that when I use an opening form to open other forms (switchboard style) the additional forms show in the Start menu Task bar.
Is there some sort of macro that I can use to tell each form to suppress itself from the Task bar?

I write Access 2010 apps in VBA that require no knowledge of Microsoft Access on the part of the user. My forms contain all the necessary controls to use the program without relying on any of the Microsoft Access toolbars. I call this "de-Microsofting" the app. When I prepare the .accdb program to create a .accde app, I uncheck every checkbox (Options/Current Database) except "Compact on Close". This works well, but it also hides the Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Some of my users need to be able to jump from my app to others (e.g., Excel) and back without having to exit my app. How can I force the Windows taxkbar to always be on top using VBA or, possibly, some setting?

Just got a new Windows 7 computer and installed Office 2013. I have a report that saves itself as a pdf in a temp folder and then attaches the pdf to an email and sends it out. I use a macro to run the report and everything works fine from there. I have a VBS file that runs the macro and clicking the vbs file makes everything work fine. the code is below.
When I tried to run it though the task scheduler it show as completing fine, but it doesn't. So I added a reference the vbs in a batch file (below) and output the logs to a temp file. After I ran the batch and opened the log I seen the message

I turned UAC all the way down. turn off the virus scanner, and have local and domain admin access. I'm at bit a lose here. I had this working before but can't seem to remember how I did it. This is just one example I have several other reports that were schedule to run overnight, but they basically all use the same code and processes.
Code:
'launch macro
set accessApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
accessApp.OpenCurrentDatabase "C:Users******DesktopAuto ReportsAgedTrialBalance.mdb"
accessApp.DoCmd.RunMacro "MCRecent"
[Code] ....

Is there a way to run a query, macro, and/or report in the "background". By this I mean in a way that frees up the current operator to do other things in the database while the query, macro, report keep on running?

Hi,
I know how to remove the Navigation Pain (or Pane) so that it doesn't show on start up, but if you then want it (F11) how do you then get rid of it!! :eek:
It's driving me mad!!!
All you seem to be able to do is open and close the "shutter bar" and not remove it completely.
Any suggestions? :confused:

I have inherited forms, some of which somehow lock the Navigation Pane. For those that do I cannot find how the Nav Pane is locked. Is it a form property? If so which? "acCmdWindowHide" is not used in the program.
This issue prevents me from viewing form properties or Form VBA when such an open form is switched to the Design View.

Is it possible to access database objects without using the nav pane? I'd like to keep the nav pane turned off on a shared database so that the regular users don't get confused, but I have need to edit various objects. I could just turn it on and off as needed but I was hoping there was another way to access the objects.
