I have hidden most of the menu bars for my database (from the tools.. startup.. menu) and I dont have a backup of my latest database (yes, I know, stupid.) The only menus I have are File, Edit, Insert, Records, Window and Help. The database window is also not displayed.
How do I get them back..? My database is set to load a form on startup, all data is accessed via a set of forms linked from the first. I cant access the tables, design view, anything.

Whilst trying to tidy up my database in the Start-Up menu, I checked the boxes that hid all toolbars and menus, so now when I open the database, all I get is the opening Main form I created.
Does anyone know how to correct this please, I need to continue working on the database and it is driving me nuts............
Yes...I am a newbie. In an attempt to secure my database, I accidently hid my entire datebase from everyone, including myself. How do I "unhide" it if I can't see it? I know that there is a really simply answer to this problem but I haven't found it yet. Please HELP!
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 woul like to programatically (with VBA code) hide and unhide the database window.
In Access 97, this can be done with Tools > Startup > Display database window box (check/uncheck).
But I would like my program does that himself : when the user launches the application, the database window should be hidden and when he leaves, the database window should be shown again.
This one has me stumped:When a particular database opens, its window is partially under (hidden by) the menu and tool bar. I can't click on the window's top in order to move it. I've tried several things (i.e. resizing the screen resolution, moving the menu and tool bars, resizing the window, etc.) with no resolution. Any suggestions.Am using Access 2003, Thanks, Joel
I have an Access 2010 database that I have split. In the database I have a couple tables, forms and two reports. I have entered some data into one of the tables, but when I go to edit the data in the form the next time, there is no data (though I have verified that there is data in the table). Also, there are two reports that can pull the data without any problem.
I created an app., for tracking changes, where once the user is logged in , the login form is hidden. When a user modify the status of a change, i cretaed an event procedure in the update before. In that event procedure i am opening a new form to ask to continue or not and then i hide it. When the program comes back to the form where the event procedure is, it closes the hidden form, which asked to continue or not. The problem is that it closes the login form as well. To sum up: -Login form is hidden - Edit form calls Confirm form - when user comfirm, teh comfirm form is hidden. - Edit form, close Comfirm form and also login form. (i dont want to close login).
Here is the code to close comfirm form in edit form....
In what I believe is called the Navigation Bar - the bar at the left of the Access screen, one can see the various tables, queries, forms and modules associated with a project. As an experiment, I right-clicked on a form, and clicked the option "Hide in this Group". Now it doesn't show up in the group. But I can't figure how to get it back. I assumed there was some sort of unhide command like in Excel. If there is such a command in Access I can't find it. How do I make it so I can once again select this form so I can open it in design mode. (I assume that the form still exists in the project, because I didn't delete it).
Ive set a formula within a query field to hidden, and i cant seem to get it to display again, i have gone to tools>options>view and checked view hidden objects but still nothing
This is complicated! I need to be able to have user run 5 different queries, I think, and have the results from those queries show up one under the other on one form footer. Ex. fld 1 fld 2 fld 3 Date Range fld 1 fld 2 fld 3 Date Range fld 1 fld 2 fld 3 Date Range
Each of the rows would be based on a different query. Also, part of the query has a date range, and I would like to have the Date Range from query show up next to each row.
I have a Access database that is used as the user interface for general users but the data is stored in SQL. My client has asked that general users be able to see only selected fields in the table. This means that they must only use the form to view records and not be able to get to the table.
How do I disable the the Window Unhide in the MDE?
*Disclaimer-I am a self-taught Access developer, so please bear with me*
I have been handed the task of developing a database to keep track of active and terminated security badges. I have a form that displays certain data for each employee. I have a check box on the form that signifies if the employee is active or terminated. The 'Term Date' box is on the form, but is currently disabled. I have been trying to find a way to have the 'Term Date' field enabled if the 'Active' checkbox is unchecked so that a termination date can be entered. Any suggestions? Please help!!
I don't know enough about Access to determine if this is possible, but I also was wondering if it was possible to reverse the action if needed (re-check the 'Active' checkbox and re-disable the 'Term Date' field)
I'd greatly appreciate any help that anyone can provide!!
I want to be able to open a form and unhide some fields on that form that have been set to hidden, basically if the file paths are wrong it ponts them back to my form where they fill them in , normally these are hidden
Code: 'checks to see if the file paths in the admin screen are ok before allowing to go foward to avoid errors from dowloading data 'get the file path to import data Dim ImportLoc As String ImportLoc = DMax("[Path]", "TblsysTransImport") 'Gets the file path to export data Dim ExportLoc As String ExportLoc = DMax("[Path]", "TblsysTransExport")
' checks to see if the file path is valid to stop people going further if incorrect or first time use If Dir(ImportLoc, vbDirectory) = "" Or Dir(ExportLoc, vbDirectory) = "" Then MsgBox "sorry but your Import / Export locations dont exsist " & vbNewLine & "These are required so you can download your scan data. " & vbNewLine & "You will now be redirected to enter valid paths"
'open form where they update the paths DoCmd.OpenForm "Frmadmin", acNormal 'normally hidden Frmadmin!Line111.Visible = True
I downloaded a time clock template the other day and Ive been tweaking it for a while now. There is one thing I can't figure out:
There is a form called frmClockOut, which is a subform on frmClockIn.
This subform appears after the ClockIn button is clicked. The problem is, if I close the database for any reason, and leave someone clocked in, the ClockOut button does not appear until after you re-click ClockIn.
The developer has put in a safety so that it does not "double-punch" someone in or out so its ok there. Id just rather keep this subform open or always showing and cannot figure out where its done on here.
I would like to hide/unhide the navigation pane completely by using two buttons (pop the hood & close the hood) in a form. At this moment I used the following code:
Private Sub Command77_Click() DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide End Sub Private Sub Command78_Click() DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True End Sub
This however makes my form shut down and not my navigation pane.
I have tab control form with (5) tabs. For this discussion - Tabs 1 through 5. For a blank (new) form sheet tabs 4 & 5 need to be hidden. Based on what is selected via the drop down box (on tab 1) then tabs 4 & 5 may remain hidden or needed to be un-hidden. Example: [DropDown1]
I think one I figure this out then I can use the 'OnCurrent' event to check the drop down selection as a user selects the a record or scrolls through records.
How do you add a Menu to a form? Like is there a way to have a Main Menu bar and add the individual menus/menu items with custom events? As well can i cusomize the context menu for the form, or make a popupmenu that is executed upon clickin a command button?
There is a lot of help on how to attach menus to properties and such, but I can't find an item "Menubar" in the access interface.
I have an application that hides all the normal Access menus, so that the user can only use the buttons that I have put on the screen forms. Now however, when I open up access, I cannot get to any of the Access menus. It shows the toolbar, but not the normal FILE/EDIT...TOOLS/HELP menu.
How do I toggle this back on? Everything I have been able to find so far tells me to go to the TOOLS menu ---- I cannot get to the TOOLS menu.
Thanks. BTW, I am not really as stupid as this post makes me sound.
I'm sure there must be a simple answer to this question but I have been unable to locate the answer. I recently finished a database program under Access 97 and unchecked the boxes to allow menus. Now I need to fix a few mistakes and need to access my code or the menus to do this. Is there a way to get access to my code. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks rtamd
