I have a form which I want to move OnLoad to the top-right of the Access window. Something like this:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Move Right:=150, Top:=150
End Sub
But there isn't a Right:=, only Left:=. So maybe I could find out the width of the Access window? Is this possible?
Thanks for any advice.
When pressing F11 to access the data base window, somehow I have docked it in an awkward position on the screen where as the top of the box containing the minimise, maximise and close button are not visible, how can I drag the data base window to the position I want i.e in the centre of the screen? :confused:

Hello,
I am a researcher creating critical editions of ancient texts by collating readings from several manuscripts (i.e. different mss all contain minor differences). I create my edition in Word and use footnotes to record the variant readings. I also have a database - created from the word file - in which I can add context to each variant e.g. decisions, history etc. So I have a word file containing the text and its variants uniquely identified with a footnote reference and a database with one table and a record per variant and where the variant records are also unique and share the same number as the footnote. I would very much like to be able to open a window on my variant form which displays the word file at the correct variant (i.e. footnote reference) location. This will make it easier for me to record my assessments of the variant in the dbase while looking at where the variant occurs in the text. Obviously I don't need to see the footnote window as I have this info in the dbase.
I haven't got a clue how to do this and would appreciate any pointers.
Many thanks in advance,
Tim
I have a form in which user will enter few values but I need users to enter the comment in relevant text box too only if they have any non zero value.
I have attached an example for reference....where red encircled portion is for values and blue is for relevant comments. If value is non zero then user should be enforced to enter the comment too......system should not allow user to move forward or backward until there is some comment.
Who can tell me how to minimize Access window while it's form is on top of other open windows (e.g. other applications which are maximized like Excel). By using acCmdAppMinimize command, only the Access window is minimized and if other applications are maxmized, they will be on top. So is there any vba solution to do what I explained?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have three forms:
Form_A (main form for the application - should always be open)
Form_B (always open, but sometimes has visibility set to false)
Form_C (opens from button on Form_B)
When I press the button on Form_B, the only code behind it is DoCmd.OpenForm "Form_C". This seems to hide Form_B, and open Form_C behind Form_A (which is the main form of the application) inside of an Access window.
I would like Form_C to open in front of Form_B. I suspect that I set up the form incorrectly or something when I created it, and it is therefore opening inside an Access window.
In my current database there seems to be two different types of borders in my pop-up forms! The best way to explain it is that some forms will have the Access style border while others have the glass style border that you see in windows. I can't seem to find any settings that will change this or even determine what causes it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAttached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.
Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

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
Hi,
I have a parent window which upon clicking on a button will pop-up a child window containing a listbox. The listbox recordsource is a subset of the parent window. I want the user to select a record from the listbox which will load the selected record onto the parent window.
How does one pass argument back from child window to parent window?
From parent window to child window, I used
docmd.openform ,,,,,,[argument] and me.openargs in the child window
thanks in advance.
Hi
:) I am creating a program in VB.NET with an access 2003 database. This program will be in 2 physical locations. This is a program that sells tickets. At the end of the day I need to be able to get that days sales data off the remote location and update the main location with that information. This will be sales totals only. The user will plug in a thumb drive to move the data from one machine to the other. Due to the physical layout and other considerations this is the best option. The only action I want the user to have to do is to place the thumb drive in the USB port and hit the “down load” button. Then on the main location the user should be able to just plug in the thumb drive and hit up load. The database needs to be updated with the data from the remote location. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I have an Excel file with multiple worksheets using VLOOKUPS betweent he sheets and various formulas within the sheets, mainly basic arithmetic and also ROUNDUP.
I am wanting to transfer all this over to Access so that it can be edited by 2 computers at the same time and I need all the formulas to go with it. What's the easiest way to do this? I'm not a very experienced Access user and basically have no idea how to put in formulas in Access.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to email to the excel file to anyone who wants to take a look.
Thanks,
Michael
I already have this working by means of:
doCmd.RunCommand acCmdAppMinimize in Form_Load (or Form_Open) events.
This works great to hide Access and only display the main form (like a standalone app).
But I have 2 issues:
1. The PopUp form (main or "switchboard" if you like) opens, then Access is minimized, but then the form looses focus. If there are other programs running, form will be behind them!
2. Access is first seen opening (for a moment) and THEN minimized (see 1.). Is there a way NOT TO SEE IT at all? :)
Thanks!
I've moved tons of text files or Excel files into Access DB's but I need to take an ODBC report and put it into a table on a new Access DB. If I save the report as a text file I get boxes when I import it to the new DB. If I use Excel I have to make a new table each time. Can anyone suggest the simplest way to take an ODBC report and put it into an Access table. THanks

Never mind, I found the code I was looking for....
I have 5 fields(First,Second,Third,Sum,Sum1). The Sum field is the sum of the first, second and third. In excel I am using the following formula/expression to calculate the Sum1 field =IF(E1<0,E1+10,E1+0 - and it brings back single digit.
e.g.
First=3, Second=5, Third=8, Sum=16, Sum=6
Can I do this in an Access query, if so how?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Access 2007 which I built a database that runs queries off of tables using ODBC. The database is all done in ms access, I've used no visual basic programing on it. I'm now trying to move a copy of the database to another computer's local drive in the office. When we try to open it on the other computer it gives me an error that says "There was a problem sending the command to the program" and Access hangs, which I then have to run task manager to end the program.

Currently I have an Access dB that was developed in A2003 but we are currently using A2010, it is accessed by multiple users that all have a frontend locally on there own networked PC's, with the backends etc on an old NT server, we are having problems with new technology accessing the NT server so it's well past time we got shut of it
We have a share on our network that has been made available to us to migrate all our NT server files to, Here's my problem, on testing the procedure I copied the database backend and .mdw file over to the share then tried to open the dB where upon i got the following error message
Cannot open microsoft Access database information file
On further investigation it seems that both the back end and the .mdw file have copied over with no content i.e filesize is 0kB, not only that the originals also seem to have had there content "deleted" a simple copy shouldn't have done this (I did have a backup btw)
I've build an Excel workbook that contains extensive use of VBA code for UserForms, Control Buttons, etc. and also contains several sheets that are formatted as Tables and function as databases. We've outgrown Excel's capabilities and need to move over to Access.

I'm working on an MS Access app.
The clients use this app with their monitor resolution set to 800 x 600.
Whenever I edit a form I need to set my screen resolution to 800 x 600 to make sure the form is within bounds.:mad:
I wan't a fast way to set the Main Access Window's size too 800 x 600 pixels.
Application.DoCmd.MoveSize(,,800,600) is supposed to work but I get a syntax error.
Any ideas?:confused:
