When the Switchboard comes up for my program (called SIR) there is also the typical access icon on the status bar. The problem is that there is a second icon labelled "SIR : database" which allows access to the Objects (ie. forms, reports, tables, etc.). Any ideas how can I eliminate this? Thanks ahead of time!
How to widen my list of objects on the left?... I can't seem to "grab" anything to widen it... I must have hit something as it was viewing properly before.
I have a database with a main menu which opens up on start-up it works fine and all but I want to go the extra step, I wish to disable / hide the ribbons (Top and Bottom) - Or Hide the whole Microsoft Access Window and display my form with the desktop behind it.
The next thing is once I click the X or the button to close the form I want Microsoft Access to appear again as in everything to show itself again.
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.
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 was wondering...i put a microsoft doc in an OLE Object and in Pages or Form, i'd like to call the object to open up. So if i have a word doc stored in the OLE, i want that word doc opened up using a hyperlink or command button of some sorts, is there a way to do it????

Is there a function that allows you to select all of the form objects.
What I want to do is to select all the form objects...have the user select a # from a drop-down list. Then set the font-size property to all of the form objects to that #. Does that make since?
I was wondering is anyone could help me with a problem thats been vexing me all day..
I have an Access database that has a number of Word documents stored as OLE objects. What I need to do now is create a macro within Word which, based on a few parameters, retreives these Word Docs from access and formats them into a completed document. The ordering and formating bits fine, where I'm stuck is getting at the OLE objects.
Can anyone give any advice on a possible solution?
This might be very simple but this driving me crazy... None of the objects created on my form are appearing in Form View mode but I can see all the objects in 'Form Design mode'. I checked the properties of the form and all other objects to make sure 'Visible' property is Yes. Any help to solve this is highly appretiated.
I am a novice when it comes to the MS Access interface. My experience has been designing the database and then using ASP pages to query, update, etc. I am now in a new position where I have to modify a switchboard to point to other data sources (i.e. databases) who have been renamed. My problem is that when I open any of those databases all I get is a form (switchboard) that has links to reports. It appears to my novice eye that the switchboard is the only thing that exists within the "main" database and it points to other databases -- when I open those databases another switchboard comes up and I still cannot view the database objects. I hope this makes sense -- believe me, I am attempting to understand this all.
I hope someone can explain to me what's going on -- there has to be a database that I can open and see actual database objects by going to the top menu bar and selecting, "View --> Database Objects --> Tables, Queries, Forms, etc.
I want to display 8 thumbnail images at a time per form of records that matched a search critera in a form. But it seems like a form is suppose only to have one record at a time? I want to have a "next 8 thumbs"-button so it gets easy to browse the pictures.
I'm very thankful if you could help me with this! Please give me some advice.
I am looking for an easier way to confirm that all a queries that are in a database are being used by the database. I started going through each and every one and it is taking for ever!
I have tried the documenter and either I cannot understand it properly or it does not contain the information that I am looking for.
An example might be I have a query called qryOne. I want to see where it is being used so I am looking for a “list” that says
Obviously these are just made up names, but I hope you understand what I am looking for. In essence a relationship table for queries, forms and reports.
Is it possible to loop through all forms within a project and look at its controls? I was requested to change some object names to a more generic name, but I would like to find all references of the form within the Access application. Is there an easy way to do this?
I know that the MSysObjects contains the listing of all forms, but I don't know how to generically type cast a local variable to the form name listed in the table.
Does this make sense? There has to be a way to do this, but I haven't found anything in searching this forum.
We have an Access 2000 db, which has been used for some time and is split between a front and back end. We've come in today and tried to open the back-end, which contains only tables, and when it opens it's completely blank. We can't see any of the objects or the normal menu to access the tables, queries, etc. We can, however, import the tables into a new database, so they must be there.
Any idea why this has happened or how to stop it happening again.
Im unable to create an MDE file, access keeps trying and then saying that its unable to create MDE.//// Is there any other way that I can secure both my codes, forms, modules and macros from being imported into another database since I cant create the MDE file?
This may be a fairly simple answer (and I hope it is, I really do) but I'm coming up empty searching through manuals and whatever google has on the issue, so I'll toss it out here in hopes that someone can help me.
Is there a way to add a "browse" button or something similar to an Access form field intended for files (word documents mostly)? I'm developing a process management database fror my office, and while I can master the whole "right-click-insert-object" thing, it's really more than the non-technical types in my office are going to be able to muster. Appreciate any help!
I have a table with two fields. A name field where I have a bunch of unique numerical data and an object field, which contains unique pictures.
I am wondering if it is possible to create a form where I can display say ten pictures (I'm assuming as bound objects) and have each of them display a different object from a different record?
Or in other words can I have one bound object displaying a picture from one record, and a second bound object, displaying a picture from a second record, on the same form?
I have tried searching for everything and any little help would be much appreciated!!
I am doing bug and enhancement development for an existing Access Application.
Periodically (after testing) I need to take my changed objects and export them to the production database.
My problems are: 1. Is there any easy way to tell which objects have been changed (is there any flag I can set at the beginning of a development cycle and then check to see which objects have been changed)
2. When exporting these objects they don't replace the existing objects in the Production Database they add a new object with the number "1" appended. If there was a form called "fCustomer Input" I end up with a new form called "fCustomer Input1"
This problem must come up with other development efforts.
