Hello I have a database that opens in maximized form.
I also have another form that opens when a button is clicked.
What I want is for the second form to open small and not maximized like the main form.
Can this be done?
Thanks
Hi all,
I have a main form which is open in a maximized window (which i want to leave as it is), i have a command button which opens a form, now i want the form to open up as the size of a box i have created in the form, without altering the size of the first form. Also is it possible to move the 2nd form to the bottom left hand corner of my screem.
This is code i have so far does minimize window to what i want it to but also restores first form, which i want t leave maximized:
Code: Me.InsideHeight = Me.Box15.HeightMe.InsideWidth = Me.Box15.WidthDoCmd.Restore
Thanks in advance for any help,
M-.
Folks,

I need to open the hidden form after clicking on the close(x) button of the relationship window.
Are there any ideas please.
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
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 2 Replies View RelatedMy application is developed in Access 2003 version. Recently we moved from Access 2003 to Access 2010. Now users are facing usability issues like - in Access 2003 all the forms are opening in different windows and they can move to forms easily. But in Access 2010 all the Forms are opening in same window, if they want to move to different forms then they need to close the current window or press ctrl+F6. How can I enable/open forms multiple window in Access 2010.

I would like to open the MS Access Window in a certain position and size.
Somehow similar to open a form when using:
- to set the position and size:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Form.Move Left:=11500, Top:=6500, Width:=7000, Height:=6000
End Sub
I would like to open the MS Access Window within the screen area at a certain location, and having a certain size.
Is there any option in the Access Menu, or I can write some code, and where has to be written, so when I double click on the *.mdb file, the MS Access Window will open where I want and the size I want.
Thank you.
Hello everybody, it's been a while since i wrote on the forums and yet again I am in the need to ask for the help of this wonderful community.
I have a form on which is a button that I want when pressed to open a Windows Explorer window displaying the contents of a directory.
The exact way that I want this thing to work is like this : The user is browsing a form of lets say client details and on the form lies the button that when pressed will take the client's name and apply it to the path in order to open that Windows Explorer window and create a path like C:program filesclient name and display the contents of that window.
I would like if possible someone who can point me as to how I can construct this button to work cause I cant see to get it done.
Many thanks for your time :)
Is there a command that I can use to export a spreadsheet to Excel...
I could use docmd.transferspreadsheet
however that would also mean i would need an input window where users would need to manually put in the location they wish to save to...
Instead, could i not get a "SaveAs" command window or a file browser at least for them to search that way?
Alternatively, If it was possible to use VBA to pop up the "Export - Excel Spreadsheet" window, that would be just as good.
I am new to VBA for access. I am working on a form as a user interface. I have added an picture to the form and it will change, according to the selection in the combobox. It looks small, and not clear because of the size, and each image has different size. I would like to know if there is a VBA code that will allow me to click on it, and then it will open in another window so it is bigger with the right sizes.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was reading how to make a a button open a webpage. I found out how to and what to type in the Visual Basics. It worked but like another user said, when ever he clicks the button, the window opens for the website but the window is not maximized. He said "I set the open new window value to True".
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a database that produces employee contracts. To make it look as professional as possible I hide the Access main window when the splash screen loads using the ShowWindow function. The various forms to check and enter details all pop up without any problem, but when I get to the last stage where I use a report to produce the contract and then open it in PrintPreview mode, it won't display (unless I show the main window again , which looks very untidy!). Is it actually possible to display a report with the main Access window hidden?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI searched without success for a solution to show small pictures (icons) in a table field to show up in a continous form.
Purpose is:
a communication log table has comm codes such as
- mail out
- mail in
- tel call in
- tel call out
the comm log table has the fields
CustomerID, datetime, CommCode
The CommCode table hast the fields
CommID, CommCode, Icon
The form (subfrm) should show in continous form mode to each customer..Datetime, (commCode), and to visualize the Commcode the small image (icon) presented by an envelope with an arrow right, an envelope with an arrow left, etc.
I cannot find a solution for storing those little images and retrieving them from an OLE-Field.All my other pictures I do not have stored in the tables, but only the image path, but for that I would prefer to store them directly into a table field as they do not blow up the database.
I currently have a database which contains various information for part returns. Among this information is contained a parts tracking number, VIN Number, and Date Code. I want to have a small dialogue box (Form) where a user can enter a tracking number, (or a date code or VIN if tracking number unavailable) to search for a record containing that tracking number. I have already created a replica of my new part entry form to view parts in read only mode only.how to create small form to search for record based off criteria then open the replica form i have made to that record?

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.
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!
Hi..
Is there anyone can help me?
how to create a form that automatically can make the form longer when user click a button?
thank you..
I have a pop up form that appears (with a beep) when a condition occurs. I would like that form to appear on top of all other window applications.
Access is an active application but the pop up form is hidden if other applications are in use.
Is there a way to have the pop up window appear on top?
Any help would be appreciated.
How do I keep a form window always on top? Thanks..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a pop-up form that is coded through VBA to open on certain button clicks. I would like this form to always open in the top-left corner of the window. For the life of me, I can't find anyway to specific in access where the form should open when called...
Is there a way to specify this? Or does access simply determine that itself? (arbitrarily it seems...)
I need to have Access open with a form that does not take up the entire screen and I don't want to see the Access stuff behind it. How can I make just the start up form appear when I open the db?
Thanks for any help...
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.
Hi all, I have a main form which contains buttons to control all other window. I'd like to prevent user to work on two forms at the same time. Can anyone advise me how to disable the main window while the second window is opened?
thanks
Hey guys,
I know how to maximize a form when it opens, but I was wondering if there isn't a way to actually shrink down the Access app window to specified dimensions when it opens the form? I'm trying to write a dimension-specific app, so there is no distortion what-so-ever. thanks!
Hi all,Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've used the Search function and can't find exactly what I'm trying to achieve.The Current SetupI have a database that I'm now trying to expand upon by adding extra features. One of these features I'd like to add is the ability to, firstly, know how many records in the entire datasheet have not been officially closed (i.e. have their 'rmaclosed' column empty), and, secondly, to have a list autogenerated that shows all of these records and allows the user to double click an item from the list and have that record open.Now, to make life easier, I should point out that I already have a successfully working search function in my database. Clicking a button from the switchboard opens up a form that allows the user to enter full or partial text into a box, then, at the click of another button, the main window of the form will automatically fill out with a list of all those records which match the entered text. The user can then double click anything from this generated list and the appropriate record will be opened.Working on the assumption that the code for what I want to achieve would be near-identical to this search function code, I have replicated both the form and code, and am now trying to adapt it; it is this adaption I'm having trouble with.The Current SituationTake a look at the attached image. That is how my form looks to the user when opened.Now what I really, really want to achieve is for that central window to be automatically filled out with the listed column headings of any record stored in the table maindata that has a Null value in the column rmaclosed when the form is opened. However, I don't see any option for 'OnLoad', so I'm willing to compromise and just have the user click a button.You'll see the button there for 'List RMAs'. When clicked, that should populate the main window with the records that have not had their 'rmaclosed' column filled out. The code behind the button - which is where I'm having the problem - is as follows:Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()Dim strSQL As String, strOrder As String, strWhere As StringDim dbNm As DatabaseDim qryDef As QueryDefSet dbNm = CurrentDb()strSQL = "SELECT maindata.ID, maindata.rmanumber, maindata.company, maindata.rmalogged, maindata.initials " & _"FROM maindata"strWhere = "WHERE"strOrder = "ORDER BY maindata.ID;"'THIS IS THE BIT I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITHIf IsNull(maindata.rmaclosed) ThenstrWhere = strWhere & " (maindata.rmaclosed) Like '*" & maindata.rmaclosed & "*' AND"End IfstrWhere = Mid(strWhere, 1, Len(strWhere) - 5)Me.lstCustInfo.RowSource = strSQL & " " & strWhere & "" & strOrderEnd SubThis code has been adapted from that which - successfully - runs my filtered search engine. The problem is that my search engine runs a query based on text entered onto the search form by the user, whilst the form I'm trying to write should simply list every record in the main table, filtered according to the state of the 'rmaclosed' column.As I said in the opening paragraph, although it's not essential it would be really nice to have a counter somewhere on the form that would show the total numebr of records in the filtered list.
