Up until recently, when I selected multiple objects in design view (on a form) and right-clicked the mouse, I had several options in the 'Size' sub-menu (including 'Size to Widest / Tallest / Narrowest / Shortest').
Then I tried to be clever(!) and create a new custom toolbar which had just these options on it, as I use them frequently. This was all very well until now, when I can't find the custom toolbar I created, and the options have disappeared from the Size submenu aswell!
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can get them back??
(I have tried going into Customize to drag them back, but they're not there either! :( )
I had a problem with one of our users getting a little too involved in our data base so I went to Tools and to Start-up. At the bottom-left of the window I de-selected:
Allow Full Menus Allow Default Shortcut menus
I did this so the bare minimum shows up and the users can only use the intended functions. I now see my mistake as I cannot do anything with the db. The only menu options it gives me are
File Window Help
I tried to create a macro to restore my menu items but according to the help menu that only works for forms and reports. I've gone through every option in the help section. Problem is they all say to start with the 'View' menu item which I now no longer have.
I'd like to create a custom toolbar that has links to subforms and dims the links (subforms) that have no data in them.
Catalog Postcard Letter Bulletin
This would mean that there is data in the "Postcard", but not on the other subforms. Even though the others are dimmed, I want them to be active so that they can have data entered if needed.
How do I remove items from a right click menu in access 2003? For example I need to remove the form view / design view button from a right click menu but i want to keep the hide/show columns button on the same menu.
Hello,I have been examining an Access application and it has menus and several menu items under the headings of those menus. (I could call them as well "Application-Specific menus" as they contain shortcuts to the forms inside the application, such as "Offers>>Prepare a sales offer" , "Definitions>>Customers & Locations" , or "Definitions>>Series & Models" and so on...)In View>>Toolbars>>Customize, selecting the checkbox of that menu,I can make those Application-Specific menus appear also in design mode.So far so good, but....if I'm able to make them appear in design mode, I should also be able to "edit" them, right? But I simply can't edit them.For example, I can't seem to pull the menu item "Definitions>>Customers & Locations" and put it under the "Offers" menu. (so that a new item called "Offers>>Customers & Locations" is formed)Well as an Admin, I 'm supposed to do it, as one the users suggested that it be more effective if the menu item "Customers & Locations" stood under the "Offers" menu.So, how can I edit my "Application-specific" menu items? Thanks.
I'm currently facing a strange problem! When I want to insert a command-button, a drop-down menu etc. no userguides appear anymore. I like to do the most basic work in design-mode, so I kind of miss then a lot...

I've been playing around with creating a switchboard. At first, I saw a form appear in the forms area called switchboard. but now it's gone. I have a switchboard marked as Default under Switchboard Manager, I can see that a table has been created called Switchboard Items, but it won't open on startup. (obviously, because there isn't a form which I can point to in the startup box)
Any idea why the switchboard form is not being created?
The Database Window within Access on my computer seems to have kinda half disappeared under all the toobars at the top of the screen. Each time i open it it seems to have moved further up. The problem is, that because it is underneath the toolbars, I can't click on the window of it to drag it back down! Now, its got so far up that i can't even select any of my tables, forms, queries or reports because i can't see them!
Its SOOO annoying! and i have no idea what to do about it!
I have imported the contents of my database into a new database, as all the testing is completed and want a clean start without any dummy data in it or anything. My main form which is where most of the interaction with the database goes on appears blank with no controls on it on form view. In design view, I can see everything (buttons, search fields, subforms etc) but turn into form view, it's blank (except the header). Does anyone know why this happened?

I am around 2 months working with access. I created an application/dataentry form and it was working very well. suddenly today, I got an error which says. Run-time Error 5 "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument. together with that or may be independent, a pop up search form just disappeared. I put a msgbox in form load of pop up form and the msgbox appears but the pop up form just disappeared.
I was about to give the application to use and thats when all these happened ...
I just want to know how to manage items in set and individual item. Suppose my product list are
individual items = A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K and 5 pc set = A,B,C,D,F and 3 pc set = G,H,K
How should I design the table. Previously I designed the table for individual items and whenever orders for set is placed user had to enter individual items with quantity.
E.g. order is for 5 pc set = 3000
A=3000 B=3000 C=3000 D=3000 F=3000
Now I need to just say 5 pc set and it should be automatically populated. And also if order have combination of individual and set items.
Hi everyone, I was trying out the options on the startup item of the tools item on the menu bar and my access window has gone except the following menu items: File,Window and Help. Can someone kindly show me how to bring back these seemingly lost items? Thank you for your willingness to help me out!
Ok, This is something I have long wanted to do, but cannot figure out.
I am working on a database for a company that orders a large number of Items. I have these all in one table (itemCode, itemDescription, price, categoryCode, etc). I have another table with categorys (categoryCode, categoryDescription) . Each Item is asigned a categoryCode and the appropiate relationship exsists. Right now I have a comboBox in a form that when selected opens a drops down menu with all the Items. Then another one auto loads up (continuous form) and I get the same drop down list of all the Items.
What I would like to have is a combo box then when it is selected shows the categorys, then based on that selection, I see all the Items that are in that category.
I guess another way of saying this simply is, I would like to create a drop down menu inside of a dropdown menu.
Is this possible? Does anyone have another alternative suggestion that might work well? I'm relectant to use a list box, becoase ideally it would be a drop down menu inside of a drop down menu as seen on many websites.
Before anyone get to upset with me I did search the board looking for the answer but only got more confused. I found the code I wanted to shut down the toolbars and menu bars but I need to allow the print options on the menu bar. How do I allow the menu bar up but only allow printing ?
I have this code in the opening for of my database but the tool bar "passdown" does not open. Could someone please help me understand why? thank you jon

I was wondering if there is a way that I can create a 'message' that will appear whent he mouse is scrolled over a button. I have command buttons that launch my reports but would want the user to know what fields are included in each report...therefor, they can put the cursor ontop of a certain button and a small list will show them what is in that specific report
