I am used to access 2000 but at the moment I am using access 2003. When I first started using it, I had the usual database window showing - by this I mean the one that has the table, forrms etc listed on the left and when clicking on one of them the created tables, forms etc are listed as will as the option to create.
Somehow, this has disappeared. I have made sure that in the startup "Show Database window" is ticked, but after searching the net, have not been able to find any other suggestions as to how to fix this.
Hope some kind person can point me in the right direction so I can see the tables, queries that I have created.
When the user open the database, the database window will be hided. But, when the user close the database with one form opening, it will show the database window for a while, and then close it.
How to prevent the database window to show at the moment?

Hi all, I was thinking if some could suggest me how could I make DAP which will have only one text box and command button in which will the value written there be forwarded to some parameter SQL when that button is pressed...
Do you know what VB code should I implement in onClick action for that button so he could start some query who would use value placed in that text box and then generate results in DAP....
This may seem to be a couple of strange questions, but nevertheless, I have not been able to find anything that have answered my question, so, please help me:-).
I am currently working in Access 2003 (nop, an upgrade to 2007 is not an option:-/) and I am making a database containing my companys employe, their workplace, plans for the future etc etc.
I would really really really like to be able to attach a picture of the employes in in this database, but I really canīt find a simple way to do this, not even in MS help.
Furthermore, I would like to be able to attach files, such as documents, so that I cah doubleclich on them, whereafter they open in etc Word.
Is this possible, (in a simple way) or do I have to go deeper into Access.
Hi I am using Microsoft Access 2003. I want to clear the contents of a combobox in vba code. I found that there used to be a method called cmbbox.clear() but cant find this method in Access2003. Can someone throw some light on this. Thanks
ive been disabling the database window from the startup tab in MS access, just now when ive tryed to show it on startup it appears but its stuck in the top left hand corner and i cant move it! so i cant access the tables
I've imported somebody's access db which hides the database window by default. When I click the db window button in the toolbar, the db window pops up high up and is somewhat hidden by the toolbar. I can't pull it back down as the top is hidden and when I try to move the toolbar,the db window simple moves up so I can't grab it and move it. Any suggestions?
This may seem silly and I've seen no mention of it in this forum yet but the "Database Window" from previous versions of Access is now called the "Object Browser"? I had code to hide the database window on startup but can't seem to find a way to hide the object browser on startup. Any ideas? Also, is there another way to view my objects in ACC07 because this way is slowing me down tremendously! It's much more difficult to find the objects I'm trying to work on and visually see where I left off. Any help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Dear Friends I made my a stupid mistake and I don't know how to rectify it.
There is a inventory software built in access xp. In order to protect database I've cleared all the options from that is
a) Display Startup form b) Display status bar c) Allow Full menus(Changed with Custome Menu) d) Allow Default shortcut keys e) and foolish thing cleared Use special key also
I've given a task to modify program where I may have to add New form. I don't know how to unhide database window. pls suggest me what to do....
I have a weird problem with one of my databases. Out of a sudden, when I wanted to open that database the databse window did not show up anymore. With this I can not access my forms, tables etc. any longer. However, when I click on View->Databaseobjects and choose e.g Forms than I can click on the code icon and I can access my code as well as the corresponing form in the design view. I can not access the tables but when I click on the "show fields" in the design view the list of fileds is showing for the corresponding form.
I tried that database on 3 different PC's with the same effect.
Does anybody have an idea what could have caused that the database window is not showing anymore and/or how could I bring that window back.
Can anyone tell me how to display the database window that shows all the forms, queries, tables etc in a database?
I have an Access database with startup restrictions and startup login screen. I can open the database by holding down the SHIFT key to bypass the startup options but when Access opens there appears to be no Database Window. I can create new objects in the database ok its just that there is no main database window from where I can browse objects. This is driving me mad - i know it's probably something simple but I rarely work with access
I am looking to minimize the access window when my database is opened. I already set it to do that from the startup menu, but all that did was open my specified form on open. I want it to actually only show my form w/ acces on the startup tray. Any suggestions?
How can I hide the Database window with password protection?
For example, if someone attempts to access the Database Window, they would be promted to enter the password before they can see the tables and queries...
I recently created a database to be posted on a network. In order to eliminate users prying into the mechanics of the database, I unclicked some menus on start up. The database is also password protected. I did such a good job that now I can't get into the database window myself. I used shift while opening the database, which used to work, but now I get the password box which brings me to the switchboard form. F11 doesn't work either.
Does anyone know how I can reverse this process so I can get into my database window and get full menus again?
Hi We have recently upgraded our computers and therefore reinstalled Office on the new machines. The opreating system is Win XP + patch 2. The version of MS Access is 2002
For all our databases I have chosen to hide the database window, so other user don't accedentally change tables and queries etc. Now the problem is, with the new computers, whenever I minize the database and then open it, the database weindow pops up right on top of every thing else automatically.
I have no idea why this happens and how to stop it. Could any one please shed some light. Your help would be apprecialted.
I have a database that is locked down with user-level security, and also have my startup settings set so Display Databse Window is unchecked.
This all works fine, and when the user opens the database, the form I want them to see appears, and everything else is locked down.
EXCEPT - if anyone minimizes Access, then maximises it again, the Data Window appears in the windows taskbar!! So anyone can click on it to display it in Access and can view all the macros, forms, tables etc that I've tried to prevent access to! :confused:
The Database Window within Access on my computer seems to have kinda half disappeared under all the toobars at the top of the screen. Each time i open it it seems to have moved further up. The problem is, that because it is underneath the toolbars, I can't click on the window of it to drag it back down! Now, its got so far up that i can't even select any of my tables, forms, queries or reports because i can't see them!
Its SOOO annoying! and i have no idea what to do about it!
