I want to load switchboard in maximum view only, but all other forms in a popup like format.
I have the Swithboard_On-Load, docmd.maximize, but when I select a menu item from switchboard that form opens in max-view. If I make that form Popup=Yes, it works, but then any command button [printview] will bring up a form behind the "popup" form.
How can I get just the switchboard to stay in max-view only?
I don't want to have to modify all forms and reports so that "popup"=Yes
Greetings all. I've got a minor housekeeping issue with my db that I can't seem to crack.
The db opens to the main form, which has a boat-load of control buttons that open a variety of forms and reports and 1 query.
The problem is that when you select the button that opens the simple query, the query opens in maximized view and then when folks want to close it, they often end up closing the whole db, instead of just the query. (Using the right corner X.)
I'd like to open it about half screen or so, to avoid the accidental closing of the whole database.
I can open the query directly or from the macro and in both instances it opens up the correct window size. But when I use the button it opens maximized.
I've searched the code, can't find any reference to maximize. Can't find anything in the button properties that would cause it.
Any idea why this is happening or how to get around it? It's probably something simple, but then, so am I. (hehehehe)
I am writting a database and i am have difficulties with forms.
What i need to do is have one form (Main) maximized and the other windows set to a standard size, the main form is always visible the others need to be opened and closed via buttons on the main form and sub forms.
I am not sure if this can be done so any help would be good.
On this form I have a button to open another form, this works fine. On the second form I have a button to close the form. When I press this it closes, and the first form is still there which is what I want, but somewhere along the line it has unmaximised itself and is about half the desired size. Basically I want it to stay Maximized the whole time it is open.
The way I can think to get round this is to close and re-open the forms as I navigate through them but just wondering why this is occuring?
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).
Thanks if anyone can offer a suggestion, I cannot find a similar problem described on the forum.
I have a form which runs at startup maximised. Pop-up and Modal are set to 'NO', Auto Resize and Center are also set to 'NO', Border style has been set to various settings, and Moveable has also been tried at 'YES' and 'NO'.
A command button on this form opens another form with the same settings which I want to take the original form's 'place' in the application window.
This all works fine, just that when I close the second window (using DoCmd.Close), the original window is then no longer maximised underneath it. I want to make sure certain windows are maximised at all times.
I know I could hack this with a DoCmd.Maximise somewhere, (or by switiching to full Pop-up/Modal mode and hiding the Application window) but the results of these are all a bit of a hack.
Can anyone shed light on the mysteries of Access's default form maximisation behaviour?
Or does anyone do what I have described successfully?
I have a front end that I have distributed to four users. The front end sits on a shared drive and when I make design changes I just replace it and have the users copy it over to their desktops.
I set up a main menu for them to access the various forms, reports, etc. When I first open the front end on my desktop the main menu form is small and not taking up the entire screen. I put the cmd.maximize command in the on open event and still does not maximize the form when I open the database. I tried to size it and saved changes but still not working.
I just did a share session with a user and she opened the form and it was maximized on her desktop.
I'm using overlapping forms in my Access 2010 database.
When the form(s) open I want them maximized and I don't want the restore buttons to be available.
I have the Min Max Buttons set to None.
I have DoCmd.Maximize in the On Load.
I want the border style set to thing.
Is there any way to prevents the Restore button to be enabled?
I open the first form it's maximized as per the DoCmd.Maximize in the On Load. I then open another form (which has nothing to do with the first form) and it opens maximized. When I close the second form the first form is no longer maximized, it's restored.
I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.
Hello. Recently posted for advice on building an access database on health service training. I had a lot of help but I suppose I haven't really grasped relationships yet. My database looks like this:
I have 1:M tb_staff to tb_training_done and the tb_training_done is linked to the tb_courses 1:1 - not sure if this is right but it's the only way access will do it.
Anyway, my idea was to use a form and subform to enter training done but after setting up the lookup it won't allow duplicate courses i.e. same course done each year. Can anyone explain how the lookup works? Where are the details of courses done stored?
im having a bit of trouble generating a field in one of my queries. i think its fairly simple, all i want to do is have the field in my query to show a date, that is just calculated by subtracting 5 days from the current day. i have something that looks like =Now()-5 but that doesnt work obviously. so im just asking whats the imput going to look like if you want to subtract 5 days from a date? oh and im using short dates for the date inputs
I am trying to build a report that lists all call in's and all tardies on the same sheet. They are two different tables, that I made queries out of because of calculation fields. Do you know how I can include all the needed data in the same report?
What I'm getting when I try is either all call-in's for each name that has tardies or vice versa. I need to see all data on one report
The reason I didn't just put all the data in one table was because we track call-in's by occurence, but we track tardies by pay period. So each call in is logged in the call-in table with the date it happened on, and the tardies are logged in by pay period, so only the total is stored in the field.
Do you have any ideas? I'm really stuck and I've been workin' on it for three days now and I don't think I'm going to find the solution by myself. Sorry. Thanks!
Gee, I know this is probably so simple...I've never in my life worked with any kind of data base program. I've spent 2 hours trying to make it work and it doesn't. I've tried so many things that I can't even remember what steps I did. I'm trying to create a one column list for phone numbers, no names or anything else...the most important thing is that when I add new phone numbers to this list I want Access to alert me that it is a duplicate and not allow me to add it.....first of all it won't let me add entries with dashes such as 312-5964, I tried selecting "numbers" and also "auto number", both didn't work, what am I doing wrong...can someone give me the steps from the beginning please....I don't have time to figure this out and it's holding me back from finishing a task. I have to get working on my Video Professor Learning CD for Access which I have at home, but right now I'm at work and can't do that...hellllllllp! I'm ready to tear my hair out :eek: Thanks, Rosey
I have an Access DB I have to put on numberous laptops. The DB is being transported via a CD. When i try to copy the DB from teh CD to a new folder on the laptop I get messages that the DB may have a virus and it cant be copied, or I need to install a microsoft service bulliten...xxxx ( I am not sure what the number is). The DB does contain VBA code and I am certain it is virus free. Is there some setting in access which enables this file to be copied on laptops which do contain virus or firewall protection or must I disable virus protection on these machines before instlaling the program or is it another issue altogether. Thanks.
I have genreated an autonumber in my table, at this is used as key. after importing 135 records it starts to jump 48 records before it creates a new. This means that with every record i import after 135 i have a space of 48 between each. So what sort of thing can cause this? and even better how do i fix it?
I have been using the forums for the past month and a half, and they have been extremely beneficial to me. I am working on a database that cross references my companies Steel standards to American standards. I am trying to make it searchable in a couple of different ways. I have borrowed code found on this site to make two different search engines. One works very well but the other I am getting hung up when I try to switch from the previous code to mine. below is an example of my code. It is taken from code placed on here previous called "SampleSearch"
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click() On Error Resume Next
Dim sSql As String Dim sCriteria As String sCriteria = "WHERE 1=1 "
'tblSubject qrySearchCriteriaSub If Me![Spec] <> "" Then sCriteria = sCriteria & " AND qrySearchCriteriaSub.Spec = """ & [Spec] & """" End If
If Me![SteelType] <> "" Then sCriteria = sCriteria & " AND qrySearchCriteriaSub.SteelType like """ & [SteelType] & "*""" End If
If Me![Group11] <> "" Then sCriteria = sCriteria & " AND qrySearchCriteriaSub.Group11 like """ & [Group11] & "*""" End If
If Me![Group143] <> "" Then sCriteria = sCriteria & " AND qrySearchCriteriaSub.Group143 like """ & [Group143] & "*""" End If
If Me![Substitute1, Substitute2, Substitute3, Substitute4, Substitute5, Substitute6, Substitute7, Substitute8, Substitute9] <> "" Then sCriteria = sCriteria & " AND qrySearchCriteriaSub.Substitute1 = """ & [Substitute1] & """" End If
I apologize also because I do not know how to post this in a scrollable window. If someone could help me with that too.
The problem with the code is that I am using a form to filter a query, this will then display the table of the steels that meet the requirements. However, I have altered all of the fields to my names and the combo boxes have my information, but they do not seem to place any parameters on the query. I attached the original DB that I got this code from any help would be appreciated.
I have a access 2002 database that was handed down to me.. this program does some document control, set up with access rights for different users.I got into it to clean it up a bit and I've hit a snag. I converted the database from a 2000 to a 2002. Amidst playing around with the Log-In screen somehow my Log In button stopped working; except if you type your password and then hit enter.Now the Log In button ( cmdLogIn_Click() ) is pointing at the same exact script as the ( txtpassword_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) ) function.I don't know any VB and I'm not really familiar with Access, so if anyone could decode this for me I would be really grateful. Here is the script that those two functions are pointing to:Private Sub LogIn_Click() Dim strPassword As String Dim strPasswordAttempt txtPassword.SetFocus strPasswordAttempt = txtPassword.Text cboUsername.SetFocus strPassword = DLookup("[Password]", "User", "[Username] = '" & cboUsername.Value & "'") If strPasswordAttempt = strPassword Then strUsername = cboUsername.Value intAccessLevel = DLookup("[AccessLevel]", "User", "[Username] = '" & cboUsername.Value & "'") bolApprover = DLookup("[Approver]", "User", "[Username] = '" & cboUsername.Value & "'") bolEditDocumentInfo = DLookup("[EditDocumentInfo]", "User", "[Username] = '" & cboUsername.Value & "'") bolEditUserInfo = DLookup("[EditUserInfo]", "User", "[Username] = '" & cboUsername.Value & "'") bolEditReferenceDocuments = DLookup("[EditReferenceDocuments]", "User", "[Username] = '" & cboUsername.Value & "'") bolViewAllApprovers = DLookup("[ViewAllApprovers]", "User", "[Username] = '" & cboUsername.Value & "'") bolDocumentControl = DLookup("[DocumentControl]", "User", "[Username] = '" & cboUsername.Value & "'") ' MsgBox "Your access level is " & intAccessLevel Startup ' run startup sub DoCmd.OpenForm "Welcome", acNormal DoCmd.Close acForm, "Login" LogEvent strUsername, Now(), "Login Successful", "Network Username: " & strNetworkUserName & " on Computer " & strComputerName 'LogEvent strUsername, Now(), "Login Successful", " on Computer " & strComputerName Else MsgBox "That password is incorrect. Try again." LogEvent "Unknown", Now(), "Login Failed", "Attempt: " & CStr(cboUsername.Value) & " , " & strPasswordAttempt & " Network UserName: " & strNetworkUserName & " on computer " & strComputerName End If End SubWhen you click the Log In button it does actually run the script, but it gives me the "The password is incorrect. Try again." message even if the password is correct. I can just click into the txtpassword box and hit enter and it will log me into the database.P.S. I say again, this isn't my code.. its probably super ugly, but I cant' tell :o
Like I stated on the title, this forum got me into trouble. By following the reading in this forum and some recommendations from the regular users I have created thre database for the place I work at. now they want me to be the official DB admin! :eek:
So now I'm coming back to you guys for more advice... :rolleyes: what reading should I do to better my Access knowledge over all.
Any recommendation is welcome.
I have already contacted th local college and they do have a distant learning class for Access and I will be taking it the next semester, but I would like to do some reading into becoming a REAL Access programmer with a solid foundation.
There must be some good books out there to purchase to get me started. So all are welcome to give me some feedback.
Hey guys- I have a software program that I am exporting data out of into excel (it's SQL based). From Excel, I then am importing into Access into an existing table previously created from a similar file (same columns, just different record sets). I am running into problems when importing files...
If I import into a new table, and have Access create the table based off of the Excel file- it works fine. If I try to import more records into this same table, it tells me it failed to import and that an error occured (no error's table created, no error number given). If I delete the original records in the table, and re-import the SAME RECORDS that were originally imported to create the table- it doesn't work. It will only import my files if it creates a brand new table for each import, every time.
Can Access not import into an existing table? It should- but I dont get what's going on here. I have tried DBF, HTML, txt files- all the same results. I really don't want to have to create a new table each time- as now my Queries will have to be updated everytime I create a new table. Can you please help?
I don't how this happened but a crucial field (ClientID) in my Clients table changed from Autonumber to Number. It's the primary key and linked to other tables. Access won't let me change it back...and until i do my entire database is at a standstil - cannot enter new clients.
What I am trying to do is when someone is filling out the first table (tblLoanDetails) they have a dropdown to choose the escrow company, then they must choose the escrow officer
Each escrow office can have many officers, however, when they choose the escrow officer from a dropdown, I only want that offices escrow officers to appear in the dropdown.
I have been asked to redesign a database that tracks a huge number of data points. These are projects and the original table had over 100 fields. I have managed to separate them to related tables in an attempt at normalization. They are:
tbl_workorders (main project info) tbl_services (services ordered) tbl_contacts (internal company contacts) tbl_customers (customer information) tbl_project_dates (milestones of project)
Now this is different from other databases I've designed because all of the tables need a one-to-one relationship with the main table (tbl_workorders).
Am I heading for trouble with so many tables existing in a one-to-one? Also, The table tbl_workorders has its primary key as an autonumber. I want any new order on this to create matching foreign keys on all the other tables...I assume this should be handled since I have enforced referential integrity with cascade on update/delete for all the other tables.
Hey, I have a query to calculate the stock balances and their values.....the client is using FIFO method...therefore, the stock may have different values at different stage......but they want to display the latest unit price in the report.......I selected "Last" at the UPrice column in the query, but the query doesn't give me the value I want.....
e.g.
Date In Out UPrice 03/12/05 12 0 22.00 03/14/05 0 12 22.00 03/15/05 15 0 24.50
In this example, the report should displays 24.50, but it displayed 22.00..... can someone point to me where I have made the mistake?? Thank you
Hi, im realy realy stuck this time. This is the problem:
i have 2 tables. groupproject, employeproject.
Groupproject has: groupcode(pk), employeCode(pk), projectCode(pk) employeeGroup has: employeeCode(pk) and projectCode(pk)
a project can have a group and a group can have members. A member is related to a project. Now i want to display all the members who are not in the selected group . For example, i select group 1 and i display all the members who are not in 1. The problem i keep have is that for example:
employee 1 is on group 1 and in group 2 and goup 1 is selected, he wil be show. This is because i use a statment "<> selectedgroup" . So the query runs trough te tables, comes back with group 1 and says, ok employee 1 is in the group i will not show. BUT THEN the query comes to eployee 1 in group 2 and the query says, hey your not in group 1, i throw you on the list.
can someone help me with this irritating issue. i tried this query
SELECT ProjectGroup.ProjectCode, ProjectGroup.GroupCode, ProjectGroup.EmployeeCode FROM ProjectMembers LEFT JOIN ProjectGroup ON (ProjectMembers.ProjectCode=ProjectGroup.ProjectCo de) AND (ProjectMembers.EmployeeCode=ProjectGroup.Employee Code) WHERE (((ProjectGroup.ProjectCode)=Forms!GroupView!Proje ctCombo) And ((ProjectGroup.EmployeeCode) Is Null)) Or (((ProjectGroup.GroupCode)<>Forms!GroupView!GroupView));
I have a table where I'm recording when I need to follow up with a client. From this table I want to create a query where as the criteria is everything more then 30 days from todays date. I built an expression of Expr1:[date of follow up] - date(). I set the criteria for <30. It gives me everything overdue ( a negative number) and everything going to be due in 30 days or less. However if I take the 30 out and substitute a parameter"[How Many Days]". It only gives me the positive numbers. Why is that and what can I do? I would like to take this query and build a report off of it where as when I open the report i will have to answer that question and it will give me everything overdue plus what will be due.
