I have a database where people are entering data into in constantly. Now I was told that someone else needs to go into the database and check integrity of data entered. There are a few buttons that I don’t want a “data verifiers” to click on, but “data entry folks” should be able to. Is there any way to may be password protect certain buttons and only be visible if a password is typed or something like that? I know how to password protect a form, but that’s not really exactly what I need and want to do. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
I have a form listing clients. Each has a command button linking to another form with client details and other option. One the bottom of the form is an Add Client button. I want the user to only be able to add a max of 6 clients, and the buttons to these clients be invisible until the Add Client button is pressed and the information about the client is filled out. Then back on main form listing clients, the client name will appear with a command button that will link to client details. How can this be done? I've seen it done, but can't figure it out.

I want to export different objects (i.e. modules, reports,tables, queries...) from another ms access application. How can I list the objects so I can pick from them and then import them. I know ms access has a wizard and I am looking to do the same but a little different because I have an application that I want to filter my objects by a criteria.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have an extensive reporting application in Access and would like it to be available through a web application. I've went down the road of migrating this application to SQL to use SQL Reporting Services; this is a good tool but I am wondering if MS Access has an easier solution for me other than migration to SQL.
I'm looking for a solution that will make these reports available over the web for many users. Price tag is a consideration...need to know if there is any.
Please help...thanks in advance for any thoughts!!!!

I am trying to Hide or Show the Access Window by using two buttons on a Form. Running Access 2013 in Windows 7 64bit.
I have used code from the Internet as below but added the PtrSafe item to the Function Declaration as below:-
Option Compare Database
'Hide Access desktop screen and float Forms on pc desktop
Private Declare PtrSafe Function IsWindowVisible Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Dim dwReturn As Long
Const SW_HIDE = 0
[Code] ....
I then have two buttons on a form coded as below:-
Option Compare Database
Private Sub cmd_Hide_dbw_Click()
Call fSetAccessWindow("Minimize", False, False)
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_Test", acNormal
End Sub
[Code] .....
I have attached a Test Database which demonstrates the problem I am experiencing.
Do the following sequence...............
Open the Test Database. DO NOT ENABLE CONTENT
The Access 'Ribbon'Test_Database.accdb is active and usable
Open frm_Test in Design View in order to inspect, all should be as shown above.
Now click the Enable Content warning
Switch frm_Test to Form View
Click button Hide dbw. Closes the Access Window
Click button Show dbw. Opens the Access Window...HOWEVER....
Attachment 20252The Access Ribbon is locked and usable !!!
I cannot find a way to re-activate the Ribbon
moving my database from 2003 to 2010 and I'm wanting to use custom tool bars that I created in 2003 to run searches Doing this I hide the ribbon, including the 'File' tab is this possible?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHere's another one on this subject... But can't seem to find the answer in the "Search" Currently I am using the "Call fSetAccessWindow(0)" method.... Well, all works fine until I start getting into reports. I have read in some post of other methods to hide Access. But I have yet to find any examples of the "easier way"..... Can anyone direct me to a post or link??

On my form frmEmployeeDetails I have a text field that is named SSN for social security numbers. I have used the mask on it so it automatically inputs dashes. I am attempting to hide all but the last four digits of the ssn. This is on the on current event of my form.
Code:
'Hide SSN
Dim strLSSN, strSSN As String
strLSSN = Right(SSN, 4)
strSSN = ("***-**-" & strLSSN)
Me.SSN = strSSN
Hi guys, i read about this before but it did not work.
i am trying to hide the access environment but i couldnt.
i read in this forum that if i have a bmp with then same name than the db, the picture would replace the access environment. I have done this but the only thing that i achieved was to see the picter before access env. comes and then it desapears and the access env. shows up.
any suggestion?
thx max

Hello All!
As in the topic stands that im looking for a code that hides Access and it starts up like a normal program. Ive searched several things on the forums and i actually did found something only he didnt gave the code ;(.
So first question:
How can i do this with a code?
Second question:
What do i need to change on my forms?
Etc etc :)
Thanks alot in advance!
Hi.
I have a widely used application in Access 97.
Anyway, some staff are not using the forms' menu buttons but are playing around with the Access toolbar (file, edit, et cetera).
The administrator wants me to either disable that toolbar or hid eit from view. Any ideas?

Hi,
I successfully made this work, but when opening a report to preview it (using a button click) . it doesn't show up, is there a workaround with this? Thanks in advance.
Kind Reagrds.

Ok, I finally have it working the way I like. It's really slick - the main form (set to "PopUP" and with docmd.runcommand accmdappminimize line in the On_Open event) opens with customized icon (in titlebar and in windows taskbar) and behaves like a standalone program (you only see Access the first few seconds during opening before it's minimized).
The form can be minimized to windows taskbar and clicked to restore it (form's maximize button is disabled, for appearance sake). it can also be accessed via the alt-tab windows menu, where it also appears with a custom icon. so it's really slick, it behaves just like a standalone app. read on for the ", but..."
I also wrote 2 functions to handle reports.
1st (fnOpen, I also use it for forms, etc. via arguments, but only the reports have the following logic). This one closes my main form, maximizes Access (which has all menus/toolbars disabled, so it doesn't really look like Access, looks like a report viewer). This function is placed into all report buttons' On_Click event with report name as argument and object type (3 for report, because 0=table, 1=query, 2=form, 3=report in my fnOpen).
2nd. (fnCloseReport) is placed into all reports' On_Close event. This function opens my main form again on the tab from which report was called. It works, but herein lies the problem: after the form reopens, it no longer has the whole application's custom icon, but the Access "form" icon. And after this, if minimized to windows taskbar it actually minimizes as resized mini-window above the Start button (as has been described by others, just as it would within Access it it were visible) and Access appears minimized in the windows taskbar, so somehow the whole cool "standaloneness" is turned off.
I wonder if anyone has some suggestions for this. I spent some time researching and testing this and really like the functionality. When the form is displayed without Access, it cannot be right-clicked (at all), which is very useful (although I know there are other ways of protection).
BTW, all my other windows (all popup/modal) appear on top of the main form with no problems. I have "File Open" and "Save As" windows common dialogs that my app calls (via API) and I also have a custom form acting as dialog box (I use the acDialog intrinsic constant when I open it from code). so mutliple windows are not an issue as some have suggested.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have a couple of databases set up with shift key bypass and DB window hide and a couple of menu bar commands hidden (All code taken from this great forum :) ). Recently my company decided to upgrade Access 2000 to Access 2007 and they have given me a test environment and a time frame to convert / test all my applications.
I found this concept of ribbon and office links very different and shocking.
Is there a way of hidding somethings that you can do with the office links (like compact and repair) and a way of hiding some clusters in the ribbon (like export and import data, have a dtaasheet view of any form? etc) Any help or link along these lines would be helpful..
Thanks,
Priya
I am making a database, where 10 to 20 users will be entering data. I have queries
1. I am planning to create a form with which user will be directly entering in the table, will that b right?
2. If 2 or more users will open form its own side does they all will be entering in same row number?
3. What will be the best of these, by insert query or directly to form?
I can change the application title using the following only if the Application Title is blank. If it is not blank then it does not change.

Set newtitle = db.CreateProperty("AppTitle", dbText, strNewTitle)
db.Properties.Append newtitle
Application.RefreshTitleBar
I have a Subroutine that is using CutePDF writer to create a PDF from a report, then attach it to a new message in outlook. The problem is the code runs too fast and it's looking for the file to attach before the file is created.
I'm getting
Run-time error '-2147024894 (80070002)':
Cannot find this file. Verify the path and file name are correct.
Yes, I know why I am getting the error, and yes I could use a loop timer, except it may be 5 seconds before the person finally clicks OK in CutePDF dialogue box, it may be 5 minutes or it may be 5 hours.
