There seems to be some inconsistency in controlling the ribbons in Access 2013.I have managed to use the USysRibbons custom table and XLM to hide the ribbon in one app, but when I set the same config up in another db's the ribbon wont hide.
I've then made an empty db and tried in this and it still wont hide.What are the "current db" setting that must be set to make the ribbon hide?
I'm getting ready to deploy my database and I would like to Hide the "Home" tab and replace it with a custom tab with just the bare minimum of options. I have alreadyused the access options to hide the other tabs that re normally visible, but can't find how to hide the "Home" tab.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a way to hide the close button on the ribbon. My 2007 and 2010 users keep closing the database by the "x" and it's driving me nuts. I have an exit on the switchboard. I tried to disable navigation and ribbons under options and it hides everything except the x. I tried the code:
Code:
Docmd.Showtoolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
In the startup form. Still doesn't give me what I want.
In Access 2010 I made a custom ribbon.The File Tab still gives users access to features that should not be available to them such as: Compact & Repair, Encrypt etc.I spent a few hours looking for a solution but found none that works.It does not seem to be possible to hide the File Tab, but is there a way to hide the options it reveals?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe user wants all the non-basic functionality of the ribbon hiden. To accomplish that by doing the usual stuff:
File >> Options >> Current Database >> Allow Full Menus (unchecked)
Everything worked as expected, but we came across an issue. The user needs to open a report in "print preview" and they need to be able to export their report to excel. The "print preview" ribbon tab is there, but it is not showing the "Data" area, where all the export options are.
How can I do this without a costume ribbon?
Maybe there is a way of manipulating which areas of the ribbon/tabs/areas/controls are enabled from VBA?
i have built an application , all i have is one main form and every action take place inside it. Before making it as .accde file for code protection, i want to hide table pane, navigation ribbon, the Main form Tab. i.e only Main form should open like a applicaiton and not inside access as a tab.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use the following xml to create a ribbon for Sort and Filter
Code:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="true">
<tabs>
<tab idMso="TabCreate" visible="false" />
<tab id="dbSearchtab" label="Sort and Filter" visible="true">
<group id="SearchScreenSort" label="Sort and Filter">
[code]....
The first problem is that this ribbon appears in forms where it is not included.The second problem is that in addition to the "File and Filter" tab, there appears a "File" tab Whe you click on it is goes backstage allowing you to Print and Exit.
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 1 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to come up with a solution for a problem I am having for a while to no avail. We have a backend database that stores various tables full of data. We then have a custom Excel Ribbon that connects to the database and pulls in the different tables depending on the user selection form the ribbon. Everything is working well on that end. The problem I am running into though is that in the development phase of the ribbon and database we had multiple versions and so there are still some people who are using old versions of the ribbon and therefore not connecting properly to the database. Is there some type of code I can add into the database and ribbon where it checks for a specific version to ensure the user is using the most recent version?
Basically, before any type of query is run to connect to the database the ribbon would have some sort of label on it somewhere and the database would check for that label and if it is correct, the code proceeds and if not a message box appears that tells the user they are not using the most current version of the ribbon and exits the sub?
I have created a ribbon for the users on all forms, and named that ribbon on each form. While I can bypass the Main ribbon (hiding backstage and most other tabs) by holding the shift key on open, the minute I open a form I am stuck with the very limited form ribbon I've named. Is there a programmatic way I can ignore this call, either when holding the shift key or some other avenue?

I would like to have 3 buttons on a form. When clicking Button1, Button2 and Button3 should be shown and Button1 hidden. When clicking Button3, Button2 and Button3 should be hidden and Button1 shown.
How can I do this when it is not possible to manage the object being clicked? I tried the following which did not work because of managing an object clicked is not allowed.
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click()
Button1.Visible = False
Button2.Visible = True
Button3.Visible = True

I would like to hide/show button depend on is there anything in a field. My current code is not working at the moment:

errorbtn.Visible = False

I have a form that has a drop down box with all of my project numbers in it. when I choose a project number, I can then choose from several report buttons on that same page that opens a report just showing that projects info (easy enough). I then have different report buttons that open those same reports, but showing every project (no filter).
The reports have a cover page that has the field, 'project number' in the front, so when a particular project is chosen from the drop down, that project number will show on the cover page (still pretty easy).
My question is, when I open the full report(no filter), is there a way to tell the report not to show the 'project number' field? since the full reports show every project, the 'project number' field will show the first project number, which is not what I want to do.
I use DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon" acToolbarNo (or acToolbarYes) depending on a value in a table which I have shown certain "trusted" users how to change.
But is it possible to do something similar with the Navigation Pane?
I have a report in which I'm trying to hide some elements from view in case a specific value is Null. Access seems to do this automatically if the report is in print-preview-mode, but not in normal view-report-mode.
I've tried something like this, but it's not really working:
Code:
private sub report_load()
if nz(txtfield, 0) = 0 then
txtfield.visible = false
end if
end sub
Is there some way to achieve this, maybe?
So I do map drive on this way and it is successful ...
Code:
Dim FSO As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim objFileS As Object
Dim WshNet As Object
persistent = false
set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "driveletter:", "serversharename", persistent, "username", "password"
But I need to have mapped drive hidden from the client users So I red that i might be possible if put $ after the share folder
Code:
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "driveletter:", "serversharename$", persistent, "username", "password
"
but it does not work.. the other way is to set values in win registry, but I don't like that way...
I have code that I want to cycle through several fields and check instead of coding for each individual field. I thought this might worked on an earlier project but Im lost. When I try to add my code in the "If MyControls Then", I want it to hide the field on a report if it is blank. It doesnt allow me to do MyControls.Visible.
Code:
If Len(Reports!RecallReport!QAW1 & vbnullsting) = 0 Then
Reports!RecallReport!QAW1.Visible = False
End If
but I want the below code to go through each field With QAW in it and hide it if it is blank.Or having it go through each field individual. There are 10 Fields With QAW THen there are another 10 fiels with ShipDist. I would prefer a simple solution to check all at once.
Code:
Dim MyControls As Control
For Each MyControls In Me.Controls ' Iterate through each element.
If InStr(1, MyControls.Name, "QAW") Then
If MyControls Then
End If
End If
Next
I don't even know if I am on the right track or what.
I need to hide my subform on load or open of the main form but am experiencing some weird results. I have tried putting Me.SubForm.Form.Visible = False in both the on open and the on load of the main form and it works only if the tables on which the subform have records in them. If the tables for the subforms are empty I get an error 2467 telling me that "The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist." I find this strange because from all I can find the subform loads first.
How can I hide the subform when the main form opens no matter what records exist or don't?
I am working on a database. I created a list box (ListBox) that filters record for a form. This list box is controlled by another field (SearchBox) where I type search string.
The ListBox visibility is hidden when the form loads. It only becomes visible when the user starts to type in the SearchBox. The records gets filtered and when the user clicks on the selection, the form goes to the record and the ListBox becomes hidden again. All this works fine. My problem is for some technical reasons I want the ListBox to show only when there is character in the the SearchBox. When I try to type in the SearchBox the ListBox shows but when I try to clear the SearchBox with backspace the ListBox is still visible
I tried:
Code:
If me.SearchBox = Null Then
me.ListBox.Visible = False
Else
me.ListBox.Visible = True
I also tried
Code:
If IsNull (SearchBox) Then
Still when I type backspace the ListBox remains visible.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I put this code on the current event of the SearchBox Field.
I would like to disable the Navigation Pane completely, based on the security level of the user that logs in, of course.
I have code that checks their level (I'm an "Admin" and everyone else is a "User"). If they are a user, then it hides the ribbon and minimizes the nav pane. If the login is mine, it enables everything.
That works, but the only problem is that the user can just maximize the Nav Pane on their own and access all the tables, and I don't want that. I can't find any code that completely disables the pane.
I have this code connected to my login button on my login form:
Code:
If Security = "User" Then
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType"
DoCmd.Minimize
Else
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarYes
DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType"
DoCmd.Maximize
End If
I can go to the options menu and disable the nav pane completely, so I know since only I have access to the ribbon, I could always go in each time and recheck the display nav pane option on that menu. But, that could be a little bit of a pain having to do that each time.
Also, I know I could finish the design and convert the DB to an MDE, but since my DB isn't broken up into a front/back end, I have to access that same DB everyone else uses, and if any changes need to be made, I don't want to have to use my backup, transfer over the changes any user made to the records, and then reconvert it back to an MDE each time.
If it's possible, I'd like to do all this using VBA. If they aren't an ADMIN user, then disable everything for them, but if I login, enable everything for me.
I'm wondering if it is possible to create a module to hide the navigation pane and document tabs? I know this is possible via the Access Current Database options however I'd prefer this to be done via an Auto Exec that runs the sub. (i already have it for the ribbon)...

I have a data base that when first opened a login form I created pops up. I am trying to set it up so that when it opens you do not see the navigation pane. once logged in though I do want to have access to that again. I have found other VBA code online but nothing that lets me remove the navigation pane from that first form alone. I have it set so that the Ribbon is not shown when the form opens but does show once a user is logged in.
for the ribbon I used:
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
I thought I remembered a while ago reading a code like that for the navigation but not saving it because I did not think it would be needed (I am very new to Access) But now I cannot find it.
