How To Open A Website URL In Pop Up Mode From A Form In Access

May 4, 2015

I am writing a program that allows users to enter customer info and I want to be able to pop up a window that will search for Postal (Zip) codes using the Postal Service URL. (I would like to position the popup so that the contents of the Address and Postal Code fields are still visible on the form). I would also like to know if there is a way to copy the contents of the Address Field in my program to the Windows Clipboard, using VBA code, so that I can paste it into the Postal Code Finder without highlighting the field contents and pressing Ctrl-C.

Forms :: Macro To Open A Form In Hidden Mode

Mar 7, 2013

I have a button using a macro to open a form in Hidden mode. Then I have another button on another form to open this form that was hidden.

When I open the form, the form is virtually blank apart from the form caption name. But when I close this and press the button again the form opens as normal.

I do not understand why?

I was told that once you hide the form and when you open the form again, it should appear normal. Why do I get this blank form??? Only by hitting the button again then the form is normal....

Forms :: Open Form From (Edit List Items) Option In Data Entry Mode

Feb 4, 2014

I have several comboboxes in my database from which users select values. However, in most cases, I do want to give them the option to add an item that does not appear while simultaneously updating the underlying table which stores those dropdown values. I have made use of the builtin "allow edit list items" feature of Access 2007 but the form always opens on the first record of the form on which they are to add the new item. Is there a way to specify that it should open in Data Entry view apart from using VBA?

Modules & VBA :: Check If Database Is Open (Read Only Mode)

Jul 16, 2015

I would like to be able to check if a db is open and if it is to prevent the user from proceeding.

I use the Access 2013 Runtime. I can check if a db is open by trying to open Exclusively, using something like

Code: [URL] ....

But if the db is already open Not exclusively and I try to open it exclusively it does not raise an error and it allows the user to open the db in Read Only mode.

I would like to be able to prevent this, because careless and/or inexperienced users may open several instances of the db.

Of course, if the db is already open exclusively it does not allow you to open it exclusively another time.

General :: Report Does Not Open In Preview Mode On Some Machines

May 21, 2014

I have a button on my form that should open a report in Preview node.

On SOME users machines, it appears that absolutely NOTHING happens when the user clicks the button. (preview mode)

Report parameters that may have some bearing are as follows. (Default settings in most cases)
Default View : Report View
Allow Report View: Yes
Allow Layout View: Yes
Auto Center : Yes
Auto Resize: Yes
Fit to page: Yes

Pop_up: Yes (This is NOT the default setting, as I would prefer the report to pop-up. If the report does not open in pop up mode, the users tend to close the DB instead of just the report.)

On the user machines where the problem exists, I have turned off the pop-up blocker in their web browser. It seems to work when opening in Report View.

Button Macro parameters are:
Report Name: My_Rpt_Name
View : Print Preview
Filter Name :
Where Condition :
Window Mode : Normal

Environment
SQL back end (ODBC Connection to server)
Access 2010 Front end

I am developing the DB in the bog standard install with no special permissions / add-ons. Also, my developer (log on) account is as a standard user, so there should be no (network) permission issues.

When troubleshooting on the user machines, If I open the report in design view and then open in Preview mode, it works.

Is the problem with the Form or the Macro or the Preview mode or maybe some Reg key that must be changed to allow reports as pop-ups?

General :: Removed Submenu Access On Login Form - Cannot Switch To Design Mode

Apr 21, 2015

I'm working on a login form and *not thinking* I removed access to the submenu. I had already set the form up so that you either login correctly or exit the program. I'm working in code for the form and I know it's possible to reactivate the menu in code, I just don't know how. And I can't switch to design mode. The form is set up to not allow anything to happen until the correct login has been entered, and I either had a typo when I set up my test login or the program is bugged and only says it's incorrect....

May 28, 2006

I would love to publish my product catalog from my access database on a website. it should be a browsable catalog with search field on article number range, product group, product type and should be able to display product pictures.Within my access database i have a link to the product picture stored by filename. I'm looking for an easy solution to do this, i'm using mysql as database on my hosting provider.I can do the export to mysql myself (interfacing between access and mysql) but am looking for some hot software to display the catalog easily without programming the front website myself.

General :: Website To Get Data From MS Access Database?

Jan 10, 2013

Is it possible for a website to pull data from an Access database?

We have all our department's policies in a MS Access database on our server. Some of these policies need to be made available to the public on our website. I'm wondering if there's a way for the website to pull directly from the database rather than having to manually upload the policies to the site every time they change (annually, semi-annually).

Modules & VBA :: Using Access To Check Whether A Specific File Exists On A Website?

Aug 19, 2013

Actually what I am looking to do is have an Access application check some Web site for the presence of a number. This number could be the Serial number of the application and if this number exists to maybe show a message in the aplication or even terminate the application.

A quick and dirty way is for User Serial number 254, to put on a specific page of a Web site say arbitrary file 254.jpg (invisible on the Web site). The application would check for the existence of this file and if it is there, it could take some action. Everything would have to be done in stealth mode.

The following code can tell me if a specific URL exists, in this case [URL]

Code:

Private Sub cmdArbitray_Click()
Dim blnDum As Boolean
blnDum = blnCheckURL("http://www.VisualDentist.com")
' If blnDum = True then it exists
End Sub
Public Function blnCheckURL(ByVal strURL As String) As Boolean
Const FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION As Long = &H1
blnCheckURL = (InternetCheckConnection(strURL, FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0&) <> 0&)
End Function

1) How can I check for file 254.jpg?

General :: Connecting Access Database To Website To Import Data Automatically

Jun 30, 2015

I just created a database and need to connect it to the data source. The data comes from a http website (intranet from work). When I open the link using firefox, I can view the website with the data in it, but when I open it from Internet Explorer, I get a save as pop-up message to save a csv file which contains all the data. The extension of the http website ends with csv. So it is something like http (slash slash...) Intranetname/referral_dbase.csv

Currently, I am opening the file using firefox, copying all the data manually, and pasting it in a text file using notepad. After that, I import the file into access. The delimiter of the data is this symbol: |

I am trying to find a way to link my database to the website where the data is located so that I can skip the manual process of opening the website and copying the data and saving it into a text file and then importing that file into access. I was thinking to have like a form in access with a bottom that will automatically import that data from this link and paste it into a table in access using the delimiter symbol mentioned above.

Is this too complicated? Is it even possible in access 2010?

Modules & VBA :: Click Button On Form In Database And Login To Website?

Jul 11, 2014

I'm new to Access and I'm using Access 2010.

I would like to be able to click a button on a form in my data base and login to a website using my username and password.

The manual login, requires two clicks after username and password, "Login" and "Click to continue"

I have tried many solutions found on the internet, none work for me. One forum reply was to send me a link to another site and it was for Excel. Is the code the same? Didn't work anyway.

From the website I want to login to, I have copied the code into a Word doc from the "inspect element" to work out the names of the fields I'm trying to put my username and password into. (see attached)

I would also like to be able to use Google Chrome as my web browser if possible?

General :: Only Open MS Access Form Without Access Running In Background?

Aug 7, 2013

I have made a form on access which will be used by other employees within the company, however they have never used access before and they are wanting to access only just the form as I feel with Access and all the tools in the background will confuse them, plus I don't want them editing the data base its self.

Is there a way to only bring up the form, unless I obviously need to edit the date base.

I've done some research on Google and it seems I need to use:

SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE

However I can not seem to find how I would use this or where?

and also if i did find a way to only bring up the form, how would I be able to switch it from that veiw to the veiw I edit in?

How To: Access 'Query' Screen In Read-only Mode

Oct 25, 2007

Hi to all,

I would like to ask here for advice on MS Access 2000 application.
When a user logs in, he should be able to use the Access 'Query' screen in read-only mode. In other words, he should be able to generate queries by selecting tables and columns, or using the wizard, but the results of those queries may never have any influence on the data in the database. So: SELECT queries only.
Users should be allowed to execute those queries, but are not allowed to access the tables, forms, or any other items directly.
Is there a way to achieve this?

Thank you


Ori

Access Closes In Design Master Mode

Mar 27, 2008

I have an application that when in design master shuts down when I attempt to open a certain form. I have traced the problem to a linked field from another table, by creating a new form and ommitting the said field, problem is its a required field!

If I copy the database (Backup) and run it as a replica it does not happen, if I then convert the replica to design master it happens.

Any suggestions please??

Openning A Form In Add Mode

Oct 6, 2006

Hi All,


This is such a newbie question I realise, but I have a form (frmFOBEntry) with a combobox (cboMarketCode) which returns a list from tblMarketCode.

New records are added to tblMarketCode using a form frmMarketCode

When I look through the combobox on the first form if the MarketCode I want is not there I want to be able to click a button which will open frmMarketCode in add mode.

Have looked through the forum and found all manner of flash ways to open on to certain records and the like, but nothing that simply opens the form so you can add a new record.

Also, if I add a record will the combobox update automatically?

Many thanks

Maximized Form Changes To Restore Mode

Sep 12, 2005

:confused:

I have a db app that has all forms maximized continually (I have set the vba code to do so on Open, Close and GotFocus events). From my app Home Page form the user can browse to other forms in the db. When another form is opened the window automaically maximizes. However, when the user navigates back to the Home Page it goes in restore mode. I haven't told it to do this anywhere. I have also tried saving the form stretched out to fit the full screen, so that if it goes into restore mode it at least still fills the screen, but it still reverts to a restored window (about half the screen). It doesn't matter what configuration I use in the AutoResize, AutoCenter properties either.

I have been developing custom db apps in Access for over 8 years. However, this seems to be a stupid (albeit simple) problem that is annoying me. I currently use Access 2003 and this issue is new (or so I believe since I never ran into the problem in previous versions).

Any ideas?

Thanks...
