How To Show The Database Objects In The Windows Task Bar
Sep 11, 2007
I have a problem. This problem is that I cant see the Database objects (Forms,Report,...) in the Windows task bar. I want the user to be able to see any opened form, or report directly in the task bar as any file opened by the Windows user.
I have tried to check on the (Show Windows in TaskBar) option available in the Tools -> options of the MS Access, but it doesn work with me.
What is happening now that I am forced to show the Menu Bar and use the Window menu to switch between the objects, however, This will not be OK for me because my system hides all the command bars the MS Acccess use.
Is the any way to solve this hard problem?

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.

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.

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?

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 Task bar.
Is there some sort of macro that I can use to tell each form to suppress itself from the Task bar?

I have a vbs-script that opens my access database db.mdb and runs the module "Export":
dim accessApp
set accessApp = createObject("Access.Application")
accessApp.OpenCurrentDataBase("D:Datadb.mdb")
accessApp.Run "Export"
accessApp.Quit
set accessApp = nothing
This works fine as a scheduled task on a Windows 7 computer.
Is there a way to make this work on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ? When I double click the vbs-file, the file opens instead of runs. And when I create a scheduled task, nothings happens.

Hi,
WHen I used Windows task scheduler to start my application, and then close the application normally, the application closes but Access is left running, still visible in the task bar. The only way I can get it to close is by using task manager to kill it. I found an old KB article ( # 246953) that hints that this (or something like it) is a known bug in Access 2000 but supposedly was resolved by an Office 2000 service pack 2. But I am already running Windows XP, SP2. Anyone else having this problem? Any workarounds?

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 have an Access database that sends an email to users when there is an exception in the query. It works fine when I run it from Windows 7, but when I use task scheduler I get an error message;
Runtime error 429 activex component can't create object
and the error stops a;
Set olapp = New Outlook.Application
It only happens when i run it from Task Scheduler.

I am creating a small database to record payments.
There are three tables :
Supplier - tblSupplier
Payments - tblPayments
Invoice - tblInvoice
There are two Forms :
frmPayments (Bound to tblPayments) - Main Form for payment entry.
frmInvoice Sub (Bound to tblInvoice) - Sub form to display not paid invoices.
What i need is a Command button , lets named it "Commit", to perform a few tasks :
1. When click, prompt message asking whether to Save current payment record when all relevant input is completed during data entry.
2. If Answer is "Yes", then it will compare the "Invoice No" on the Main Form with the "Invoice No" of the Sub
Form , and if found to match, then put a tick in the "Yes/No" field of Invoice Table (tblInvoice) against the matching "Invoice No" of Main Form. This is to record payments made to this particular Invoice in Invoice Table.
3. Proceed to save current record, Refresh Main Form to be ready for a new data entry.
4.If Answer is "No", discard all current entries in the Main Form, Refresh to be ready for a new data entry.
Sample DB is attached...

Hello,
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.
Please help!
Thank you!
:confused:

Hi!
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.
Thanks!
Best regards
Johan

Any ideas on how I can get a list of the names of the queries and tables within a different database?
For example, from db1 I want to get a list of the names of the queries and tables within db2.
Thanks!

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.
Thanks.

I have this database with the purpose to storage all the tasks that are done in my team. I have a table named Tasks with all their fields. Now, I would like to set a more user friendly way for clients to update this table. I have created another table with a list of most common tasks, so when a client wants to add their tasks list they can choose one of this tasks and add it to the list. I had created a form with multiple items that contains the common tasks and next to each task a button that adds the information they choose into the table "Tasks". This works just fine. However, I would like to add a single button at the top to add all the tasks instead of having to choose one after one.
The "Add All tasks" button has this code:
Private Sub Command79_Click()
Dim valSelect As Variant, MyDB As DAO.Database, MyRS As DAO.Recordset
Set MyDB = CurrentDb()
Set MyRS = MyDB.OpenRecordset("Tasks", dbOpenDynaset)
[Code] ....

I have a task completion database. Each record of model consists of an expiry date. I need to review and update the records before the expiry date. Each model may have more than one record as I have updated the models a couple of times. I would like to select all of records with the expiry date less than 30 days so I can plan to review and update them on time. How to select all these records.

I have recently updated my version of Access.
Within a tbl i have a series of hyperlinks.
All of these hyperlinks are linked to an object within the database, a macro as an example.
When i go to edit these hyperlinks, it does not allow me to link 'to objects within the database'. This options used to be available in my older version of Access. Am i missing something?

I'm using Access 2007. I have designed a database for one of a two division set up. All of the raw data in the tables is similar yet there is one unique identifier for the two divisions. Let's call it DivID, four characters in length.
To keep the maintenance simple I want to have one set of forms, queries and reports. I do not want to duplicate all of these. To the user they will only see one set of the menus, which will show all of the necessary sub-menus.
The first or main menu will have two buttons, Division A and Division B. The user simply clicks on the appropriate division button, and off they go. I'm thinking that it would be easiest for me if the DivID is stored after they click on their division button, and this value is used for any form or report that they run afterwards. Also, this DivID value would generate custom headers at each menu and submenu to confirm which division they chose.

I have greyed out objects in my Access database. I didn't create them and don't know what they are. I tried to delete them but couldn't. Why did they come to my database -or they were already there but now they are appeared- and how can I get rid of them?

Imagine you have a split database with two users making reports on their own front end. Lets say user 1 wants to share a report they built with user 2. is it possible to send this Object through vba so that user 2 would received a working editable copy that they can use on their front end without sharing the actual accdb front ends?
I thought about creating a Database that would just host the reports but again if I cannot send or access secondary database objects then this method would not work.

This has happened to me several times in the past. I make minor changes to a report and when I go to save it or close it out, it asks, "Do you want to save changes?" Of course I say yes and it just sits there, not closing out the report tab. The only way around it that I have found is to re-write the report, from scratch.

:o:confused:
I'm desperately searching for a way to synchronise different copies of the same access 2003 database i created. I have tried brief case synchronisation, and I have also tried the replication manager that comes with access but they both haven't been much help.
My experience with them leads me to believe that they both work best with a LAN or internet connection.
I'm seeking a solution that will work without a LAN or internet connection. Something that will copy my tables and other required objects to a folder that i can copy and move to another pc where another copy of the database resides. It should then import the same tables and objects and hence synchronise the copy of the database.
I recently saw a visual foxpro database that has the kind of synchronisation solution i'm looking for. I think it works this way;it exports all the tables and necessary objects to a folder that it creates allowing you to copy or move this folder via portable storage device to another computer. It then synchronises by importing the tables and other objects from this folder into the database resident on that computer.
I think there might be a way to do this using macro's or VBA but alas my knowledge of these areas of access is very weak. Is there a way to recreate this functionality in access 2003 using VBA code?

Hi,
I was wondering if i could get some help here. In the startup under tools option in the menu in Access 2003., is
there any way of coding it so it would display windows database, allows
display status bar and other settings there?
Currently, i have unchecked pretty much everything except "Access special
keys" when setting up a certain form to be a startup. By default, we don't want to see all the tables in the windows database but rather the actual start up form.
what we would like to do is to allow only the certain group of people to be
able to view the windows database without using "hold on to shift key" button to
access to windows database.
Thank you in advance
