Design View & Control Button Errors
Oct 12, 2006Hi,
Can anyone advise why I am getting these two error messages in attached image.
I am running Access 97.
The first message refering to fDesign appears each time I have something open & click on the Design View icon.
The only way I can go into design view for a form or table etc is when I am in the tab windows for the table or form highlight it and click on Design.
The second error message refering to the refresh appears whenever I try to run a refresh command button created via the wizard.
I have the same refresh command buttons on other forms I created earlier on & have no problems with them when run. If I create a new refresh command button on same form it works. But any new forms I create I get this error.
Can anyone please advise what I am doing wrong or which settings I should look at as I have tried most settings.

Design View Keyboard Shortcut - Expand Columns In Design View Of A Query
Jun 5, 2014I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
Modules & VBA :: Disable Design / Layout View
Apr 19, 2015I am working on adding a layer of security to my current DB. I've got usernames and passwords set up, along with access info (controlling what aspects of my DB certain users are able to interact with)....
I've managed to disable the navigation pane and ribbon for most users (only me and another user will have access) and now i want to try and disable editing....
Cannot find any VBA coding online to allow me to prevent people from editing forms/reports/queries in Design or Layout view.... How this can be accomplished?
Modules & VBA :: Prevent Form Closing Unless Switching To Design View?
Oct 18, 2013I've got this form called mainmenu and inside this form I've got this code to prevent it from being closed.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Cancel = True
End Sub
Now then, when I try to switch to design view in this form it doesn't let me because of this code. Is there anyway to tweak this code so that I can get into design view without having to keep disabling it?
Modules & VBA :: Copy A Control In Form Design?
Oct 24, 2013I need to duplicate a number of controls on a form. They are all acCommandButton types, but they have different images, sizes etc.
Anyway, my thought process was if I have a "template" acCommandButton then when I create my new controls if I could use this template then the code I have hanging off them (I have a function being called on the onClick event, borders are set to hairline, themes turned off and various other settings) would be copied. Save me trying to set them all individually.
So, my question is, can I "copy" a control in form design through VBA. Once I create the copy of the control I can then change the couple of properties I need to and "hey presto" I have skipped a load of settings that I don't need to set.
At the end of the process when I rename my form I can delete my template control and I have a working form.
Forms :: Text Boxes Showing In Design View But Not Display In Form View
Apr 19, 2014I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Unable To View Object Properties In Form Design View (Access 2010)
May 16, 2014Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
!!??? All My Forms Are Blank Under Form View - But Fine Under Design View!!!

Jul 2, 2007I have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber.

Any ideas why it is not showing?

Modules & VBA :: Recursive Search And Populate Results In Tree View Control
May 28, 2015I need some VBA coding to do the following tasks
Table 1: two columns - Child Tag and Parent Tag. Parent Tags can also be in Child Tag column. In other words, a parent can have multiple levels of children.
Table 2: one column - Backup Tag.
I'd like to have a form with a combo box, pick a Parent Tag, the search all its child tags and compare each Child Tag found with records in Table 2 to see if there is a match. Then populate all results in a tree view control.
A visual example :
Parent Tag
...Child Tag 1 - Back up tag found
......Child Tag 11
......Child Tag 12 - Back up tag found
...Child Tag 2
......Child Tag 21
...Child Tag 3
......Child Tag 31
.........Child Tag 311 - Back up tag found
DATASHEET --- Allow Design Changes: Design View Only DOES NOT WORK
May 18, 2007I have a sub form in DataSheet view and I would like to lock the design so that the User should not change the layout
Even when I set the property of the Datasheet “Allow Design Changes: Design View Only” users are able to unhide the hidden columns and they can also change the size of the column by dragging the column end line
Does any one know how to lock the design of datasheet ( I am using this sub form datasheet for data entry but do not want users to change the layout)
Thanks

Design View - Where'd The Table View Go ?
Apr 18, 2008You know how normally in design view there would be a table at the bottom of the screen where you can drag your fields from the view above.
Well, I have a query where this table view has disappeared ?
I can edit the query in SQL view, the query works, just the table view is missing.
Ever happened to anyone else ? I've done the obvious and scrolled down as far as I can and nope, it's not there ??? :confused:
Normal View -v- Design View
Jul 20, 2005I am wondering why the alteration to my form in design view is not reflected in the "normal" form view. I have included the two views. In design view I moved "Staff In"/"Staff ID" to the top of the form believing that as I work left to right thay would appear on the left hand side in normal view.
However, in the image of "normal" view you can see that "Staff In" is way over on the right hand side of the form.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thank you

Blank Form In Form View But Fields Present In Design View
Oct 19, 2005After reading many of the posts here, I decided that one of the problems with the tables in the db I was working on was in the primary keys. I had used the same field name as the primary key in all of my tables. This was RecipID, which was a user entered textbox with an example in a label beside it showing the format to use.
After reading stuff here, I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I changed RecipId to be an autonumber in the parent table (Household_Info) and a long integer foreign key in the children. Also, I added some fields to the parent table to identify the head of household (lastname, firstname)
I already had a continuous form made with a subform and a pop-up form associated with it based on my previous tables. Reran the query underlying the form, and the new fields showed up in the field list box for the form. The fields are all still present in design view, but I get a totally blank form in form view. I checked the forms recordsource and made sure that it was set to the new query.
Can anyone give me an idea about what I'm overlooking? Do I have to recreate the form?
(Sorry if this is a repeat of a question someone has already addressed, but I couldn't turn up any relevant threads after several hours of searching.)
Thanks, Charlotte

I Cannot Get To The Design View
Jan 26, 2005I am a new user of access and have a question concerning a database that I am working on. The database has a switchboard where you can open different objects but the problem is that the main menu on the top is missing the tools menu and the view menu. When I pressed control , I could get the views (without the actual view menu) but the tables do not have a field property control i.e. I cannot add any new fields to the table. In addition to that problem there is a reference problem with one of the tables when I add some data to it - but the table that access refers to I cannot even see. I am really puzzled over here - is it a security issue mind that I don't have the tools menu that will let me check the security settings - I am really puzzled here. I need your assistance please I am going crazy over here ! I attached a screen shot so you can see what I am talking about - also how come the database is designed this way where the forms and tables are b ound together?

Problems With Design View
Nov 16, 2006I work at a school district and we have a report card that was just created by one of our teachers in Access 03. Now, when you Shift+Click on the card on her machine (her personal laptop) it opens it up in Design View so the appropriate changes can be made. But, when we transfer it to our network so that we can copy it and give it to the teachers, the Shift+Click option doesn't work. I did some research earlier about VBA scripts being put into access documents to allow/disallow special options like this, but even when the database is open on our network, we (as administrators) can't Alt+F11 to bring up the Visual Basic Editor to check for those scripts. I thought that maybe it was a permissions thing, so that it could only be edited on the original machine, but she can move it to her home computer and Shift+click and Alt+F11 work as they are suppose to. Any ideas?
Thank you for any input.
Opening In Design View
May 23, 2007Hi,
I've got a DB where I need to simply change a few images on the form buttons. When I open the file I cannot access design view at all. There is no toolbar and the menu doesn't contain View, just file, edit etc. I can edit the properties of the records etc but this is all I can do. I thought maybe it had something to do with it being created in a different version of Access but still it will open in this way only. There is no messae telling me I'm locked from anything and I've tried ctrl + enter etc. I'm running Access 2003.
Does anyone know what's wrong? Its driving me nuts. :confused:

Subforms In Design View
Jun 24, 2006Using Access 2k in form design view, I sometimes get a blank, white section in place of a subform. Sometimes if I toggle back and forth a few times between design & form views, the subform may finally appear in detail. I've applied all updates to office 2k and can't seem to figure out why the design view would behave erratically this way.
